HER ONLY INDISCRETION. Mr*. Gladstone Never but Once Be trayed Knowledge of htate Secrets. Probably no more Ideal relations ever existed between a married pair than those of the late Mrs. Gladstone and her distinguished husband. Throughout his long career In public life she was bls confidant and adviser, and was Intrusted with the weightiest secrets uf government. It Is said that when Mr. Gladstone lieeame a cabinet minister he said to hi* wife: "Now, my dear, shall we agree that I shall tell you notbiug so that you can say nothing, or shall 1 tell you everything and you agree to say noth ing?” Mrs. Gladstone chose the latter alternative. Thereafter her husband relnted to her everything that went on In the cabinet and she never told auy- thing except once. At one time two ministers were dln- Ing at Hawarden, and some reference was made to a cabinet matter. Mr*, Gladstone started to say something which revealed the fact that she knew the secret, lu an instant there was flashed upon her from the brilliant eyes of her husbaud one of those Im perious glances which gave to his usu ally benlguant face a truly command ing mien. Mr*. Gladstone was so agitated by her momentary slip that her usual com posure deserted her. When the dinner was over she went up to the drawing room and had a good old fashioned cry. Then she wrote a little note of apology and sent It down to her husband, and “the Incident was closed,” to quote the language of diplomacy. OUR BUDGET «F FUN.

ORIGIN OF CONFECTIONERY. Teude of Confectioner an Offshoot from That of Apothecary. The modem confectionery business is a very large one, and it is of old stand ing. If we wished to trace it to its origin we might have to go back not far short of 600 years. It is about live cen turies since sugar was first Imported into this country, and it is probably not much less than that since "confections'’ began to be concocted. They first ap peared in a medical form. Apothecar ies, whose potions were at one time very generally supposed to be effica cious Just in proportion as they were horribly nasty, took to the newly im ported sugar as a means of mitigating the nauseousness of their doses. They mixed their drugs with it and coated their boluses. That seems to have been the origin of the sirups and medicated candles, the cough drops and lozenges of one sort and another that are now Death Age of President«. so largely in demand.
