HOW SHE ADDED NOTHING.
A Pamtmonious New York Million
aire and Ills Oeneroits Wife.
Mr. Chalmers of the Hod Cross na
tional orgntilzntlon was In the city ro
cently while chatting with some
friends tit his hotel told a quaint story,
which ho vouched for ns loiter true,
about a certain famous New York
millionaire. "I will name no nnmes,"
ho said, smilingly, "but tho gcntlomnn
to whom I refer enjoys a wide reputa
tion for parsimony of the extreme
kind. He has no use for his hugo for
tune, nnd I really believe ho would
like to bo generous, but ho has pursued
money so long and so eagerly thnt It
hns become n moral Impossibility for
him to lot go of much nt any time. Ills
wlfo, on the contrary, Is very charlt
nblo nnd Is n liberal giver. Ono day
last spring a committee of clergyman
called on tho old gentleman with n sub
scription paper for n boys' Industrial
Bchool, intended for tho education of
street wnlfs. Ho hnd expressed In
terest In tho. Institution, and they con
fidently expected him to put down his
nalno for several hundred dollars nt
least. Ho received the callers cordial
ly niul Invited them to unfold their
scheme In detail, which they proceed
ed to do, greatly encouraged by his
manner. They spent upward of an
hour rehearsing the particulars and
brought all their eloquence to bear In
describing the good they hoped to nc
qompllsh. When they finally talked
themselves out tho millionaire asked
for tho subscription list. 'Times are
mighty bard,' ho said, sighing deeply,
'and I had intended making a very
modest donation, but In view of what
you hnvo told me I'll Just doublo tho
amount.' With that ho sets down $10
opposite his nnme.
"Tho poor clcrgymnn were- so crush
ed thnt they took the paper nnd tiled
out In dead silence, but In tho front
ofllco they encountered tho rich man's
wlfo. She know of their project nnd
began nt once to question thorn In re
gard to It. While they wero talking
Iter husband happened to look out.
'Martha,' ho called shnrply, 'I've al

HE OAN WAKE THE JUDGE.
Philadelphia Lawyer KxercIseaaTrlck
of the Voice with Sticceae.
There- Is Bald to bo lawyer In Phila
delphia who possesses a trick of tbe
volco to which n certain ineaBUro of
his success Is due. Tho trick consists
In waking tho Judge. Whether It Is a
common prnctlco for tho high digni
taries of tho Federal Supremo bench
to Indulge In n nap In the courso of n
long argument, such happenings aro
'not unkiiQwn. and It Is well for an ablo
logician or tno unr 10 uo prcparea ror
it.
Tho trick of waking a sleepy Judgo
would seem to bo nomothlng in tho un
til ro of slamming a luw book under his
nose or connecting his personality with
tho current of nn electric battery. Hut
tho trick Is explained ns purely a mat
ter of sound Involved In tho skillful
control of tho volco. It Is snld that a
barrister practiced In tho art and rhet
oric of nudresslug tno bench can
guthcr nil tho wnves of sound from his
throat Into a focus nnd doposlt It In
the Judge's ear with the gcnoral effect
of a bomb. Tho trick, however It Is
accomplished, Is snld to hnvo been
worked repeatedly with success on the
lato Judgo McKennu, whoso hnblt of
going to sleep on tho bench was once a
notorious subject of comment In tho
celebrated litigation over tho Berliner
telcphono patents.
This queer trick of tho voice, while it
Is snld to bo tho pecular proporty of
ono celebrated lawyer, Is probably at
tempted often with varying success by
others.

Tbe Old Man Says It Beats Other Heaters and that Steam

"Well you can talk about your stenm
hent and your hot water pipes nnd your
furnaces and your natural gas all you
I want to, but as for mo give mo tho good
old-fnsbloncd base-burner," snia tno oiu
man as ho stretched out his hands to
wnrd a glowing pattern of his favorlto
heater of tho stylo of about 1885.
"There's something kind of artificial
about those other things, even natural
gns," ho continued. "Somo way or
another they don't go to tho spot not
with mo. They mnko mo feel Just like

go agnlnst tho grain nnd don't mnke
mo feel nt homo. And, besides, they
don't always deliver tho goods. Now,
Just look at this one. You bet It de

Tho old gentleman wns right, at tho
moment, nt least, for In tho lamplight
you could fairly see the heat shooting
away from the base-burner. The ther
mometer registered 87 degrees nnd the
furniture near by was beginning to smell
"scorchy" nnd Httlo wnrts In tho paint
bnd raised up pn tho sldo next the stove.
"Yes, sir," went on tho base-burner
advocate, "you can't And anything
that'll touch tho bnsc-burner." (Cor
tnlnly his proposition would not have
been disputed Just then.) "There's a
lot of poetry to bo found looking Into

In tho right kind of style. Imnglno n

or snuggling up to tho hot air shooting

bo without a base-burner. That'a the
time that all of us hustle up to tht
stovo in a kind of soml-clrcle. Nobody
gets clear behind the stove, where tho
chimney is, but that's tho only place
they leave clear, Then we Just have a
good old family talk. Me and the boys
yank off our boots so's to get real com

"Then If any of tho boys has got
bruises on their ankles where their

If the boys broke through the Ice and
come In with their feot wet they could,
maybe, dry with furnace er steam heat,
but they couldn't do It quick and do It
good and right, like they could with
tbe old base-burner.
"An' you say all you please about

VEILS AND THE EYESIGHT.
Women Often Iiiiln Their Vision
AVearliiK Mich Onuxe.
bj
One would naturally suppose tho cyo
sight Is of such Inestimable vnluo thai
rational human beings would scrupu
lously shun all risk of Impairing It, nnd
that above nil things fashion should
not bo permitted to decree modes whoso
effect is to weaken that most scnsltlvo
of tho organs, tho eye. Yet It Is a do
plorablo fact that mnny of tho fnsh
Ions arc blindly followed by tho fair
box at the behest of some "lender" In
tho gny world of society.
The veil Is ono of the fashions of the
present, as It hns been of pnst times.
Tho sex Is divided in opinldn ns to tho
effects of tho veil upon tho vision, but
where you will find ono to mnlntuln

plump condemnation upon every veil
thnt Is worn. Yet ho will admit that
whllo somo nets nro extremely danger
ous nnd deleterious to tho eyes, others
nro almost unlnjurlous. Thoro nro
fashions In nets and gauzes, nnd mnny
nro tho variations with which the veil
Is worn, but In England It nlwnys cov
ers the eyes, and It Is here thnt tho dan
ger arises.
Of all tho veils over tried, tho Ideal
ono Is yet to be discovered. Somo wom
en can trnco step by step Its evolution
throughout tho century. They have
heard their grandmothers tnlk nJout
tho whlto lnco "fall" thnt used to bo
liked, and themselves can recollect the
thick green, blue, gray, white and green
gauze horrors worn to protect tho com
plexion from tnn. Thoso veils were fol
lowed by thinner silk ones, which In

their turn were deposed In favor of
thoso of thread luce, after which camo
tho many nbomluatlona still exploited,
to wit mesh nets dotted and patterned
In various ways.
Just now they nre wearing most cur
tailed ones nguln, and a feeling hns
also come In there for tho utter ban
ishment of tho veil. A moro uncomfort
able and Imbecile nffalr for afternoon
teas than the ninsk and tho chin veil
Is cannot bo Imagined.
It Is a sign of grace, perhaps, that tho
question which Is being much debated
now among smart people Is whether tho
veil does not accomplish so much harm
to the visual organ as to outweigh nil
other considerations In Its favor. They
wonder whether a veil could not be con
trived that would leave tho eyes uncov
ered, while It beautified nnd protected
the rest of the face. Aa a pattern, nqth
Ing could be better than the Turkish
woman's yushmuk, which Is Justly held
to be tho most modest face covering In
existence.
The very best Is a veil as fino as gos
samer, which can also be most becom
ing, too, It has no spots at all upon It,
and so does not worry the poor tortured
eyes that have to dodge spots or vainly
and unconsciously try to focus them,
one of tho worst possible exercises to
which weak or Imperfect sight can be
put. The retrograde step Is taken by
Busslan net veiling, which need not,
however, be very trying if the mesh be
fine, for it Is unspotted.
Then cpmo tho quite condemned veils,
which have chenille spots nil over them;
they aro bnd In proportion, as their
dots aro closo nnd lnrgo or scnuty nnd
Binnll, but they nro less sight-wearing
than n veil thnt Is patterned ns well us
spotted, n veritable ncony to sensitive
sight. White veils nro often much more
evil In their ctTects thnn black, for the
material, be It tulle or net, possesses a
faculty for dnzzllng the vision and
limiting everything seen through It
wavering nnd ill-defined. Finally, hns
not the enso been proven thnt those
who are conscious of Btrnln, a lack of
clarity of sight or wcnrlticHi nfter wear
Ing n veil, should give up tho tusk of
looking smart at tho expense of vision.
Even tho strong argument In fnvir of
veils of n sensible ntul clear mesh,
which tho oculists do not nttempt to
deny, namely, thnt such nets do keep
the eyes from the tiHsnults of grit, es
pecially during a drive or while cy
cling and motoring, should not appeal
to tho weak-sighted.
