MADE THE GHOST DIsGUSTED
English statesman's Story of Vision
Has at Least Little Touch of
Originality.

Mr. Birrell told a ghost story at
the Bristol Press Fund dinner, wheD
responding to the toast, LITERATURE
and Journalism" In referring to a
recent speech by DR.. Silvanus Thomp-
son on the Importance of science, Mr..
Birrell said:
Il don't know, my Lord Mayor,
whether you ever have bad dreams,
but have been haunted ever since |
was almost a boy by the constant
repetition Of one and the same dream.
1T comes to me again and again.
It is this: | dream l am walking
about somewhere in some plain or
desert, and l suddenly encounter the
agitated ghost of Sir Isaac Newton
He approaches me, his eyes almost
starting out of his head; he tells me
who he is, and how ignorant he is of
all that has happened in the world
Of science since he left.
Now he says, want you to tell
me in a few words-for | have only a
quarter of an hour left-all that has
happened to the race; the progress,
How is it? / know what it was when
| left it. What is it nOw?"
My heart sinks, and, covered with
confusion, stumble, ! stutter, ! STAN
mer, | become more and more In
volved. my ignorance becomes more
and more apparent, and at last the un'
happy ghost, throwing up his hands
leaves me with dismay.
THAT dream constantly comes to
me- The only difference is that the
moment the unhappy Sir Isaac New.
ton sees me now he says, oh, that
old ignoramus, and departs. Lon
don Tit-Bits.

Cream, of Lettuce Soup.

The outer green leaves of lettuce
are simmered in barely enough water
to cover them till they are tender
enough to go through the PURGE sieve

hot milk and seasoning, slightly thick
ened and then strained; the result is
a light green cream of delicate favor.
