From a Great Diary.

Evelyn, the great diarist and cour-
tier, is blind to many things which
his readers would gladly have had him
notice and record.
He tells us nothing Of the condition
Of the mass of the people, rarely
speaks of poor person; or servants,
rarely mentions the clothes he wore or
the food he ate, never. at any rate,
with that pleasure Of memory un-
ashamed which gives such details the
smack Of life in PepyS or Boswell.
He never gossips; tells us little Of
his neighbOrs' vices, and nothing of
their follies; would assuredly not have
recorded, if there had been any such
matters to record, his wife's jealousy
Of his attentions to her mind; gives
no such touches Of rude veracity as
that of Pepys' sister. for whom hus-
band must be found at once as "she
grows old and ugly" or that Of poor
Mr.. Pechell, "whOse red nose makes
me ashamed to be seen with him,

Of the celebrated Cossack chief, Ma
zeppa, whose intrigue with the wife
Of a noble at the Polish court and his
dire punishment (being bound naked
to the back Of a wild horse and set
adrift on the desert) have been i'm
mortaliZed in ByrOn's poem. The
tomb is supposed to have been rified
Of it's remains by the Russians dur
ing one of their several descents upon
the city, for the memory Of Mazeppa
is execrated by the soldiers of the
czar, inasmuch as he became an ally
Of Charles XII Of Sweden. He died
of poison in the same year that Peter
the Great defeated Charles on the

Andrew Carnegie Is the most human

He is canny, and all that, but he is

Of homely Scotch philosophy in his

When Carnegie was an iron master,
and the great strike OF 1892 came to

Of Homestead, had to run away to es-
cape arrest. Some years later Carnegie
learned that McLuckie was in want in
Mexico. He sent man there with
money to help him and said to the
messenger: Don't let McLuckie know
who it's from or he mightn't take it,"
After McLuckie had been lifted to
his feet the messenger said to him:

RECORD IN PLUM PUDDlNcS
King of Them All Was That Turned
Out in English Town, Weighing
Nine Hundred Pounds.

The plum pudding is essentially a
British dish, and it is deseryedly a
very popular article of the menu
Hence it comes about, probably, that
we read occasionally of really BrOb
dingnagian puddings being put into
circulation, and there are several on
record the very mention of which will
be quite sufficient to make the aver
age schOolboy's mouth water.
For instance, early in the last CEN
tury one was made, for distribution
among the poor Of Paignton, which
weighed 900 pounds. The ingredients
included very large number of eggs,
100 pounds Of suet, like weight of
raisins, and 4 hundredweight of flour
1t was kept boiling from Saturday
morning to Tuesday evening, and when
those in charge thought it sufficiently
cooked, it was drawn by three horses
10 the village green, and there served
out to the large assembly.
In this case, however, the cooks had
been too precipitate, and three days
boiling was not sufficient, for the gi-
gantic lump was not ready in the cen
ter, and only the outside was really
fit to be eaten.
The dainty morsel was the outcome
Of an old charter which prescribed
that the inhabitants Of the place should
distribute big plum pudding among
the poor every fifty years.

GREED MET PROPER REBUKE

However, she was cycling the coin as

dapper elderly gentleman, seated next
the Woman Who Saw, lighted upon
the glittering object. 1t would have
been an easy matter to have stopped
and possessed himself Of it, but the
eagle eye Of his fellow passenger fol
lowed his every movement betraying
her desire to appropriate the coveted
prize. After a few seconds of irresO-
luton he reached down and literally
grabbed the lucky find Opening his
closed hand he took one glance at the
treasure. A peculiar expression crossed
his face, and his fingers closed tightly
again. This was too much for the
Well-dreSSed woman, who could re-
strain herself no longer; greed took
possession of her, and leaning for

accents: Pardon me, sir, that belongs
