Every one objects to putting- on eye glasses and postpone the evil day as long as possible; but the feminine objections are more complicated than the masculine, and womci are the triaL of an oculist's life. A man says bluntly that glasses are & nuisance. He resents the fact that he I has to be bothered by the beastly things; but, if the oculist assures him that he needs glasses, and that they will add to his comfort, he puts them on, and .there's an end to it. The average woman also says that glasses are a nuisance; but that Isn't the serious part of her arraignment A being who can, with resignation, wear trailing street gowns, could put up with a serious nuisance; but when a woman thinks that glances are unbecoming, or that they are a confession of age, then there's a hard proposition before the ocu list whom she consults, and he needs in finite patience and consummate tact In addition to his professional skill. "Women are queer," said a prominent New York ocullot to a New York Sun reporter. "Nine-tenths of them would rather suffer physical pain than wear anything they consider unbecoming. The average woman's first remark when she comes Into the office is: ?tfow. Doctor, I don't intend to wear glasses.' I ex pect that, as much as 1 expect 'good morning or 'good aTternoon,' and accept it as tiresome but inevitable. 'I've been havlnc a great deal of trouble with my eyte she goes on, 'but glasses won't help me at all. I've tried all kinds and 1 can see better without them than with them. I want you to examine my eyes and tell me what to do about them.' I say 'yes, yes,' and go ahead getting things ready for an examination, while she tells me all about her symptoms. I don't need the symptoms, hut it seems to give her pleasure to describe them. Finally I ask her to sit down in a chair and take off her hat. Funny how women do cling to their hats, isn't it? It seems to trouble them terribly to take off their hats and put theftn on again. I can't figure out whether it's really such a bother to poke the pins in and out, or whether they think their hair will be mashed down when the hat comes off, and they will not look well. I've never seen a woman who could remove her hat and seem happy, without having consult ed a mirror. After I've examined my pa tient's eyes through the various instru ments used for that purpose, I hang up my chart and my clock face and settle adjustable spectacle frames on the wo man's nose. She stiffens at once. I know that no matter what glasses I slip into the frames first she will declare that she can't see as well with them as with out them; so I'm not particular about the selection, and use the first lens that comes to hand. Probably- it does obscure her sight, and she announces the fact triumphantly. Often, when I put the frames on. before I've inserted any glasses, she says, with great sternness, that she can't see as well as she could before. You see, she thinks there are lenses in the frames. That used to amuse me when I was young; but it's such a matter of course now that I don't even smile Inwardly. I never point out her break. That would be impolite. After I've had her judgment on the first lpns I try another, still worse. Then I put over that one another that positively neutralizes it so that she is looking through what is equivalent to plain glass. If she says that is Vorse than the .oth ers I know that she is either self-deceived or Isn't belnr honest with me. I work gradually around to the lens which my other examinations have assured me Is the one for the eyes, and, if the patient will admit that it Is the least objection able, and that she can see through it. almost as well as she could without It, I am satisfied. I couldn't expect a great er concession. "The next task is to persuade the wo man that she ought to wear glasses at least part of the time. It's useless even to suggest that she should wear them constantly, no matter how much she may need them; but she may be brought around to the Idea that she could use them In readfng, dewing, etc I fit a pair of rims with plain glasses on her nose and ask if they are comfortable. She promptly makes a dive for the mir ror. Comfort doesn't cut much of a fig ure with her, but she's sure that she must look lltfe a fright. She studies her self carefully, and as glasses. aren5t real ly an improvement to the appearance of more than one woman In a thousand, or perhaps ten thousand, she probably turns upon me indignantly and says that nothing could Induce her to make such a guy of herself. That's where natural eloquence Is a "blessing to the oculist. He ought to convince that woman that she really looks exceedingly well in glasses; but. if he's too little inspired, or too dignified to do that, he can repre sent to her that she needn't wear the glasses where anyone will see her, but even occasional use of them will benefit her, that if she neglects precaution now she will have more serious trouble later on. Sometimes, she will not be con vinced and goes away to come back later on with her eyes in much worse shape than at the time of the first visit. Some times she submits o the inevitable, and having made the first plunge and found that the glasses do relieve her eyes she, by degrees, comes around to wearing them constantly. She may even achieve much mastery of vanity as to graduate into genuine spectacles with hooks around the ears, but that needs a strong mind. I've a certain respect for a woman who comes In and says, 'Doctor, I'm having trouble with my- eyes. I'd like to have you tell me what's wrong. Glasses are unbecoming to me, and unless there's something seriously wrong with my eyes I'd rather suffer the pain than mortify my pride. There'B a frankness of ad mission about that that I admire, even though It Is folly; hut the women who are actuated by that same .motive and make a-thousand and one other excuses and insist that glasses couldn't help them well, they make me tired. "Very often a mother brings a daughter In here and she almost Invariably starts off by saying shB isn't willlng'her daugh ter should be disfigured with glasses. The best way to manage such a case, If there is actually anything wrong with the girl's eyes, is to point out the fact that wearing glasses for a tlmB Instead of disfiguring will prevent disfigurement, will smooth out the furrows on the brow and between the eyes and preserve the beauty and clearness of the eyes. The accusation Is often made nowadays that oculists give rhlldren glasses when it Isn't necessary. Only today a woman told me that it was all nonsense to say her little girl needed glasses that child ren never used to wear glesses as they do now rand that they got along just as well. Now that Isn't true. More children do wear glasses today than formerly, and the result Is less serious trouble with their eyes ramong the grown-up children. Then look at the change In the children's own eyes. I can remember when one could hardly walk a square without meet ing a crosS-eyed child. Now you can walk the street for days without seeing one. Seventy-five years ago nothing was done fdr crossed eyes. Then operation for the trouble became common and helped the situation slightly. Now nine-tenths of the Incipient cases of cross-eyes are cured by the use of glasses. The defect in the eyes that will Jead to the disfigurement Is discovered before it progresses far and the glasses, Jf skilfully fitted, will cor rect the, evil and? prevent Ihe disfigure ment "Going back to the subject of women's eccentricities in the matter of glasses, another rather absurd fact la that a good many fwomen simply will not have their glasses readjusted to agree with advanc ing years. A change In glasses narks definite progress toward bid age, you see, and that's unpleasant However, the men share that little foible with the wom en. Their reasons may not be the same, but they do seem to think that a pair fit glasses that suited them once, ought to suit them always. A woman camo to me a short time ago and said she wanted me to make out a prescription just ex actly like the last one I had given her. Something had seemed to go wrong with her glasses, and she had ordered another pair" from her optician, but they weren't right. She was sure, there had been some 'mistake, and she thought It would be "better to get a duplicate prescription from me, s6 that all chance of error mlgfct be avoided. "When did I glv& yotf the prescrip tion?' I asked. ' 'Let me see. It was in the spring of 1S82. Eighteen years before, you see, and she expected the tame glasses to fit eyes eighteen years older. "This lorgnette business is another in vention demanded by woman's vanity. It is ornamental, and nose glasses are not Some women simply will not wear nose glasses, and. yet can't get along without something; Jiso they carry a lorgnette. The things are an abomination. If women would hold them correctly, so that, the lenses were straight and. close to the eye, they wouldn't be so had, but not one woman in a thousand holds them that way. It's enough to make an occu 11st tear his hair to see a crowd of women with lorgnettes. One lens is up and the other down, and, they are skewed at all sorts of angles. Every loofk through them is a disastrous strain on the eyes. Fortunately half the women who carry lorgnettes have only plain glasses In them, and carry them merely because they are decorative and paralyze the men. Fortunately, too, one never looks through them long at a time, because one's arm gets, tired. Occasionally, when I have a patient whose eyes are in very bad shape, need complete rest and ought not to be used even with glasses, and yet who cannot get along on all occasions without glasses of some kind, I fit her her out with a lorgnette. She can use It in an emergency, but she, can't use it steadily, as she would use nose glasses, and so her eyes will get the rest they need. "On thing that reconciles some women to glasses Is a conviction that they have a very superior variety. I've known a girl who dally refused to wear steel set or comonplace glasses, but who became devotedly attached to glasses gpld-set and fitted out with new quirks and lenses; not because she could see .better through them, you know, but because n0 other girl in school had a pair like them. An optical defect with a. very im pressive name reconciles some women to glasses. They seem to have a pride In the seriousness of their cases.; but a plain astigmatism Isn't interesting enough to appeal to a patient, nowadays. Oh, I tell you, an occullst's profession has its try ing side. I've always found certain grim humor In the epitaph of the "Florentine man who Is said to have invented spec tacles. Did you ever read it?" The reporter hadn't. "I'll show It to you." The doctor rumaged among his books. pulled outa dusty Italian folio, and open ing it, pointed out the epitaph, which, in" Italian; said: Hero lies Salvino of Amari, Inventor of Spectacles, May Ood pardon his sjn. WHY BOSTON HAS HO STRIKES Arbitration System Settles All Donbt Before Any Worle Is Began. The method of preventing strikes and lockouts which has been tried for 10 years in Boston between the Master Builders' Association and the- workmen has . been absolutely successful In every respect, says William H. Say ward, sec retary of the association, a: former mem ber of the Legislature, as reported by the New York World. The system waB adopted 10 years ago. The bases of the system is the "form of arbitration" which was proposed by the National Association of Builders, and has been adopted here by the Master Build ers' Association on the one hand, the association of workingmen In the build ing trades on the other. The employers take the position that It is for the Interest of both parties that the worklngmen's unions should be recog nized. Therefore, it Is preferred that men join the labor unions. With this known as the policy of the employers, the Union men cannot object if a non union man is found occasionally upon the work. Another fundamental Idea is that the interested sides to a question shall settle it for themselves, and that no outside Interest shall come In to draw men oft into strikes. There shall be no sympa thy strikes. It Is further one of the es sentials that the representatives of the two sides shall have absolute power to settle disputes, and there Is no appeal from their decisions. "All questions of mutual concern" must be brought before the" Joint committee, which Is to be appointed annually by each Elde. The Joint committee must consist of not less than six members, equally divided between the associations represented, and an umpire, who must be chosen the first thing after the committee completes its annual organization. He must not be a journeyman craftsman or an employer of journeymen. The umpire for the first three years was John D. Long, but he was never called upon to act Every Is sue was settled by the committee with out referring anything to the umpire. Then, for two years, William Xiloyd. Gar rison was the umpire, and he was 'called upon only once. Charles Francis Adams, second. Is the present umpire. He has been obliged to settle one question. If any employer refuses to abide by a decision of the joint committee he may be thrown out of the association. In case the workmen refuse to abide fry the de cision of the committee they may be dis ciplined. Either side may refer matters to the. joint committee, and. after the commit tee reaches a conclusion It transmits that conclusion to each association for its government The National Builders' Association Is an advisory body, of which Mr. Sayward Is secretary, and It Impresses upon its local constituents the desirability of making advances to the worklngmen's unions, recognizing them at the outset, and Inviting them to recognize and co operate with the employers association. One of the objects of the association is to prevent any matter of mutual concern from reaching the stage of a grievance. Doubtful points must be settled before any work is done. The Boston people came home from the convention of 10 years ago determined to put the system upon trial. Mr. Sayward addressed let ters to the different building trades the masons, the carpenters, the painters, the plumbers, and so on urging them to'come Into the movement An immediate response was made by the mason builders, and he urged them to effort so that they Immediately ad dressed the bricklayers, the stonemasons and the building laborers, telling them about the plan for avoiding strikes and lockouts. They laid the matter before their unions and favorable reports were received. The hoisting engineers came in and the boss plasterers 'were able to bring in their employes. Other trades, such as the carpenters, have not yet come In, as Mr. Sayward believes, be cause of their conservatism. But enough have entered Into the system to control the situation In the building trades and to make strikes a thing of the past Cotte reacned Constantinople about 1654, and was of universal use In Mohammedan, coun tries before the close of the 10th century. .So essential was It deemed to domestic happiness, that a Turkish law recognized a man's th fusal to supply his wife with coffee as sufficient ground for her claiming a divorce SCHLEY ANTIClPAtED IT DECLARED MACLAY CRITICISM WOULD NOT -'PASS UNNOTICED. Captain Cook's Report of What Hap pened WhcH Admiral Cervera's Fleet Came Oat of Santiago. This week's Issue of the New York In dependent contains the following tlmejy article relative to the Schley-Sampson controversy: " 'I will not forecast at this time what my action is to be. To do so would neith er be wise nor desirable. But I will say that this matter shall not be allowed to pass unnoticed. The conduct of the TJ. S. S. Brooklyn at the battle of Santiago is a matter of public record and any one who desires to do so can see what that con duct was by referring to the appendix to the Bureau of Navigation reports for the year 1S9S. "The above utterance was made by Rear-Admiral Wlnfield Scott Schley, on Friday last to the writer, who visited him at the home of his sister in Great Neck, L. I. "When the visitor first arrived at the house where the Rear-Admiral was stay ing he sent In his card and with It a copy of the article by Park Benjamin, which quotes the extraordinary language used in the latest edition of Maclay's "History of, the Navy," concerning the conduct of Rear-Admiral Schley at the battle of Santiago. Soon after the card and the article were sent In, the Rear-Admiral came out on the piazza, where his visitor was wailing. He was courteous, cheerful and vigorous, and began by saying: "I remember you perfectly. I remember our meeting in Washington." There was some further talk on this subject, and then the visitor said: "Ad miral, the Independent thought that' this latest attack on you, made in a volume that is used as a text-book In the Annapo lis Academy, might Induce you to break your silence." "Is it a text-book isn't It only a po litical pamphlet?" asked the Admiral. "It is used as a text-book at the Naval Academy." "Ha! Well, you know that up to the present I have been careful not to Bay anything foolish, and I do not Intend to depart from that rule now. Who is this Maclay? I don't know him." "Why does he attack you?" "I don't know. "What wllKyou do in regard to Maclay's attack?" "I will not forecast at this time what my action Is to be. To do so would neither be wise nor desirable." . "For the benefit of your friends through out the United States, won't, you say that you will take some action?" The Rear-Admlrnl. who was as frank as a child In conversation that was not to be published. Immediately Ijecime cau tious; hp took the writer's pencil and na per. and, after considering for nearly five minutes, wrote: "But I will sav that this matter shall not be allowed to pass unnoticed." His manner was that of the wls and prudent man engaged in a game of skill with formidable opponents and fully In tending to win. Afterward. In rspone to other ques tion" and sugeestlons. h added: "The conduct of thp UnltM States ship Brooklyn at the battle of Santiago Is a matter of public record and any one who J desires to do so can ascertain wnat mat conduct was by referring to the appendix to the Bureau of Navigation reports for the year 1898." ?", R The appendix contains rpnort "of the Captains of the various. United States warships encaged at Santiago. The- testi mony therein shows that Rear-Admiral Schley's ship. th Brooklyn, Inflicted 4M ner cent of all the damage done to the Spanish fleet by the guns of our vessels, and that she suffered 58 ner cent of all the damage our shlp? received. When Rear-Admiral Schley was askd If he would not call attention to this $hbw In he said: "No. That would be bragjrlng." Cantain F. A. Cook. TJ. S. N., command ed the Brooklyn at the battle of Santiago and made a report to Rear-Admiral Schley four days after the fight The Brooklyn was Schley's flaPEhlp. He was aboard her, and In the absence Df Rear-Admiral Sampson was In temporarv command of the American fleet engaged In the battle. The entire Spanish fleet was destroyed be fore the New York, with Admiral Samp son, could get Into action. The report Is printed In the npoendlx referred to. which was published bv the United States naval authorities. It reoresents the Brooklyn as foremost In the fight, and Schley, as cheering on the mi with "Fire steady, boys, and give It to them!" Official reports of the other officers en gaged in the battle of Santiago bear out this picture of Schley's promptness and gallantrv, and seem to prove that he fully deserved the commendation and promo tion bestowed upon him by his official superiors. . When the writer asked a Rear-Admiral who has taken no part In the controversy, how Schley's silence could be reconciled with the theory of Innocence, he said: "Why should he reply to Irresponsible attacks? The Department replied for him when commended and promoted him." Maclay Is a clerk in the bureau of sup plies at the Brooklyn Navy-Yard. He got Into the naval service very shortly after the war, A naval Captain now at tho Brooklyn yard said on this subject: "Maclay entered the service late In 1898 as an attache of a lighthouse at North Beach. I was on the Lighthouse Board at the time, and was opposed to his get. ting in, as he informed me that his pur pose was to devote himself to literature, while using this lighthouse place as a means of support. I did not think that that attitude accorded with the needs of the service; however, I was ocerruled." Captain Cook's Report. "U. S. F. S. Brooklyn, first rate. "At anchor, Guantanamo Bay, July 7, 1898 "Sir At 9 A. M., July 3, I gave orders and arrangements were made for gen eral muster at 9:30 A. M. At 9:30 A. M. the enemy were telegraphed by .the Iowa as coming out At the same time they were discovered by the Quartermaster on watch, N- Anderson, of this ship, and reported to the officer of the deck. The executive officer. Lieutenant Commander Mason, who was on deck about to exe cute the order for general muster, im mediately gave the order, 'Clear ship for action and general quarters.' Signal was mado at the same time, 'Enemy coming out action.' I went immediately for ward, stood for the enemy and gave or ders to get steam on In all boilers. "We started with steam on three boil ers at about 12 knots speed. "The head of the Spanish squadron in 'column was just outside the entrance of the Harbor of Santiago, proceeding about southwest. The Spanish squadron con sisted of the Maria Teresa flag), VIs caya, Oquendo and Colon, and two tor pedo destroyers. We opened fire, on the leading ship in five minutes from the dis covery. "The port battery was first engaged as we stood with port helm to head off the leading ship and giving them a 'raking fire at about 1500 yards range. The enemy turned to the westward to close in to tho land. We then wore round to starboard, bringing tho starboard battery Into ac tion. "The Brooklyn, leading, as followed by the Texas, Iowa, Oregon, Indiana and Gloucester. The Vixen, which had been to the westward of us in the blockade, ran to the southward and eastward of us, and kept for some time off our port side distant about 1000 yards, evidently intending to guard against torpedo attack upon this ship. The shells passing over us fell very thick about her, some pass ing over her. At this time the firing was very fast and the whistling of the shells Incessant, and our escape with so little injury was marvelous arid can ohly be attributed to bad marksmanship on the part of the enemy. The Maria Teresa, which had dropped astern While we were wearing, Under the heavy fire of our fleet ran ashore, the VIscaya, Oquendo and Colon continuing on and gaining in dis tance. "The Brooklyn was engaged with the three leading ships of the enemy which were forging ahead, the Texas, Iowa and Indiana keeping up a heavy fire, but steadily dropping astern. The Oregon was keeping up a steady fire and was coming up in the most glorious and gal lant style, outstripping all others. It was an inspiring sight to see this battle-ship with a large white wave before and, her smokestacks belching forth continued puffs from her forced draft We were making 14 knots at the time and the Ore gon came up off our starboard quarter at about. 600 yards and maintained her position, though we soon after Increased our speed to IS knots and just before the Colon surrenedered were fnaklng nearly 16. "The Oquendo, soon after the falling out of the Teresa, dropped astern and on fire fan ashore. The VIscaya and Colon continued on under fife from - Brooklyn and Oregon. The other vessels of our fleet were' well astern and out of range. The Texas was evidently coming up fast At about 10:30 A. M. the VIscaya was seen to be on fire, and the Colon passed Inside of her with Increased speed, -took the lead and gradually forged ahead. The VIscaya soon after ran on the beach, ablaze under fire. We signalled the Ore gon ceased firing on the VIscaya, as her flag was down. Firing immediately ceased, and we both continued the chaBO of the Colon, now about 12,000 yardB away from the VIscaya, as she kept in and out from the coast We steered straight for a distant point near Cape Cruz, while the Colon kept close to the land, running Into all the bights. She could not have come out without crossing her bows, and we were steadily gaining on her. "We were getting more steam" all the time, and now had four and one half boilers on and the remaining one and one-half nearly ready. "After running for about 50 miles west from 'the entrance, the Colon ran Into a bight of land, fired a gun to leeward, and hauled down, her flag; The Oregon and Brooklyn had Just previously be gun to fire upon the Colon, and were landing shell close to her. "I was sent on board by Commodore "Schley to receive the surrender. The Captain spoke English, and received me pleasantly, though naturally much de pressed.. He surrendered unconditionally. I was on board about 15 minutes. As wo came' from the Colon, the flagship "New York came in with the Texas. I re ported on board the flagship to Rear Admiral Sampson. I stated to him that I believed the Colon could be gotten off the beach. "During the entire action I was In con stant communication with you, so that I "was enabled to promptly execute your orders and instructions. The officers and crew behaved with great and exception able coolness and bravery, so that It is difficult to discriminate. They were en couraged In their best efforts by your enthusiasm and your cheery words: 'Fire steady, boys, and give it to them.' "... The ship (Brooklyn) was struck 20 times by whole shot and many times by pieces of bursting shell, and from small shot of machine guns. No Berlous Injury was done to the ship, and all repairs can be temporarily done by the ship's force, excepting to the five inch elevating gear. The smokestacks were hit In several places; the signal hal yards, rigging and flags were cut in many places. The flag at the main was des troyed, being much cut by shot and pieces of flying shell. . . . We fired 100 pounds of eight-inch, 473 of five-Inch. 120(1 of sjx-pounder, and 200 of one pounder ammunition. F. A. COOK, ?"Captain IT. S. N., Commanding.

Is It true that the first gentleman in Europe leads the fashion in hats? Yes and no. Whn the King "adopts" a hat its future Is assured, but almost In variably it has had a successful, If ob scure, pdst. In the course of his career His Majesty has "created" two or three styles, 6f which one, the low-crowned silk hat, enjoyed sorfie vogue, while an other, a sort of Welsh sugarloaf, lasted less than a month. And there are some shapes worn by men In every rank of1 llffe from Jthe blood royal downward which the King "has never patronized at all. The supremacy of the black silk hat was certainly due to His iMaJestyls encourage ment. Other men might wear. white hats on hot Summer days, but for years he clung, to black. His Majesty. did not re linquish this palladium of British re spectability even when being recelvejj by Said Pasha under the 'scorching suns of Egypt, nor when negotiating the turbid rapids at t,he head of the St. Lawrence,, while exposed to the -keen Canadian winds on a lumber raft. It was he who ordained that the proper 'and only wear for Good woodi was the tall black hat, and It is only In recent years that he has re laxed his own rule. Hence It was with a sense of relief 'that he was observed at the garden party in the grounds of Buck ingham Palace In the Summer before the diamond Jubilee to be wearing a white hat, a color which turned, up again at Good wood .two years ago, and the descent from this to the vhlte bowler which he wore at Sandown-last yearjjecamp Inevitable.

His Majesty, however, has, always set hla face against the cruder display of sartorial1 grief that marked the earlier Victorian regime. , To His Majesty we owe the habit Into which we fall unconsciously of clinging to our hats at public functions as if they where our talismans. Whether receiving an address of welcome -at an exhibition, attending an afternoon lecture, or unveil ing -a. memorial in a public museum, the King's manner has been to hold the hat In the left hand, res"tlng Hghtty upon, the hip if he be standing, or upon the thigh not the knee if sitting down.

He has abandoned a habit, which' be once taught us to observe, of using the coatsleeve for this purpose. The King uses the round bowler now adays on every possible occasion. He had at one time a great affection for the brown bowler, and for many years pat ronized the comely gray. In nothing has the influence of the King been more paramount than in the Introduction Into England obstinate, Insular England of the Homburg felt.
