Macbeth's pearl top" and
"pearl glass" lamp-chimneys
do not break from heat, not
one in a hundred; they break
from accidents.
They are made of clear
glass as we'll as tough, as
clear as crystal. They fit the
lamps they are made for.
Shape controls the draft; they
are shaped right. Draft con-
tributes to proper combustion;
that makes light; they i'm
prove the light Of a lamp.
But they cost a dealer three
times as much as common
chimneys, and, as they do not
break, he is apt to be anxious
lest they stop his trade. Di-
minished sales and less profit
are not agreeable to him.
There are two sides to the
question. Have a talkwith him.

DR.. boutwell, DEAD.
All the Efforts TO Take the Cork from His
Lung We're in Vain.

The Rev. DR.. George w. Boutwell,, of the
Congregational Church of the Covenant,
who had q cork lodgein his bronchial tube
two weeks ago, died at 900 z. NJ. Sunday
in the Brooklyn Hospital from exhaustion.
The watchers around the bedside expected
his death all day. lie became unconscious
early IN the morning and remained In that
condition throughout the day and evening,
except at rare intervals. His pulse ran up
to $50 in the forenoon and later IN the day
became so rapid that it was impossible 10
count it. Afterward it ebDed away so as
to be scarcely felt at all.
The physicians several times reported
that the patient could not live more than
few minutes. He did live on, however,
owing 20 his remarkable vitality. His only
nourishment was from frequent hypoder-
mic injections of sparteine and brandy.
Oxygen was constantly pumped into has
lungs TO keep him alive. DIR. Rushmore
spent two hours in the forenoon with him
and returned about Z. III. He seemed
surprised that the patient was still living.
The stricken clergyman then seemed hard
ly TO be alive. He would occasionally be-
come conscious and would show that he
recognized his wife, who had constantly
been st his bedside for three days. lie
gradually sank from exhaustion until be
quietly breathed his last. Around his bed
were Mrs. Boutwell,, the Rev. w. L. Stokes,
Of the Bushwick-Avenae Congregational
church, Miss Alexander and Miss Collins,
two nurses, and DR.. Young, the surgeon.

SOUTHERN ENTERTAINERS.
Mr.. Ward McAIlister Explains Why 1t Is
Worth While Dining with Them.


Southerners usually pride themselves
upon the way III which they entertain"
said Ward McAllister the other day to a
New York Sun reporter, and most of
them can do so very properly. But things
have changed since the war, and doubt
whether there is the same magniticence in
their hospitality that there was. / TO-
member that was down in Georgia with q
brother-ln-law of Mr.. William Aston, who
was then quite young chap, and we were
invited 10 dine at tine house of planter
who had an estate on the Savannah river.
The house was a rambling old affair,
with nothing especially attractive about
it. and indications that ii needed repairs
badly, but l told young Astor that be
would find dinner waiting for him which
his father-in-law. with all his wealth and
servants, could not provide. We were re-
ceiyed on the piazza of the house, and
found there a number of southern people,
none of them OF any particular distinction.
The dinner that was furnished US was all
that / had predicted. They had an old
French cook that they had got hold of
somehow or other, and tell You what be
did know how to prepare a meal!
Then as for the wines, well, there are
mighty few houses in New York to-day
that would furnish anywhere near as good.
Altogether, III was one OF tue est-prepdreu
and best-seryed dinuers that / ever sat
down 10. and yet that planter was com
paratively poor man. How he got hold of
his expensive wines is more than / can tell.
But he certainly had the very best, and
plenty of them, too. l don't know whether
he entertained in that regal style always,
but it was point of honor with the south
ern gentleman in those days to set the very
best before his guests.
II was thinking of that fellows fine
wines the other night when | sat down TO
dinner in the home of very wealthy man,
and he served claret from O bottle that
had lost its label. / asked him what the
claret was, and he amazed me by replying
that he really did not know. Well said
TO him, you're pretty fellow to give a
man claret you do not even know the
name Of How do You know whether
1t is good or bad?' Well, to tell the
truth, he said, frankly enough, L don't
know anything about it. / suppose it is
good or else the dealer would not have
given it to me. | drink so little myself
that don't know anything about it, As
matter of fact the claret was very bad.
You would not find any southern gentle
man doing any such thing as that, you
know

100 MUCH KISSING.
why n Young Lady Disliked TO Visit
Berlin.


A Young woman who has recently re-
turned from abroad makes curious com
plant of the treatment she received IN
Berlin. She was kissed too much. Think
of il : saws writer in the Chicago Post.
ut was simply awful :" she exclaimed
when asked her about it. when | ar
rived in Berlin was dlned by some of my
friends there. They wanted 20 make things
pleasant for me, suppose, and so they in
yited several officers in the army TO meet
me.
The Baron Won Himmel took me in To
dinner. He was very agreeable. and he
was so handsome We got TO be very
chummy by the time dinner was over, and
when he and the other men rejoined US |
was positively glad TO see him and asked
him to call.
Three evenings after that he did call,
and brought me such a beautiful basket
of flowers. In the midst Of his call mamma
was summoned by some one or other and
we were left alone. Immediately he rose,
came over 10 where | was sitting, and tried
TO kiss me.
"Of course objected and told him so,
but somehow couldn't get angry, for he
was so meek and mild about 1t that l
nearly laughed. However, | at last made
him understand that / was not to be
kssed-at least not upon such short &C
duaintance-and he resumed his seat IN
time for mamma to find him there when
she came back.
The next week 1 met the Baron at a
ball and during supper ] asked him why
he made the attempt to kiss me when he
must have known that it would be unsuc-
cessful.
- Unsuccessful! no said, apparently
very much surprised. Why, l supposed
you expected me to kiss you
- didn't l replied, very much amused.
What made you think SOP
Pve always thought that 1t was the
custom in America to kiss all the young
ladies as a token of goodwill
This sounds fshy," continued the
Young woman" but it's fact. And,
what's more, / had similar experiences
with five or six other men before ] left.
They all said the same thing, too. Where
do you suppose they got that ideal"
