HE HATED WOMEN.

Bachelor of Vionna Used Buy Three
Seats at tho Thenter.
There are SO many sham misogynists
about in this affected]y cynical age
that one can hardly help extending n
measure of admiration to the thorough
ness and consistency of a certain rich
old Viennese bachelor, whose death
was announced the other day.
In the case of this highly eccentric
old gentleman, horror and dread of our
unfortunate sex had become positive
mania, for it is recorded of him that
whenever he went to a place of public
entertainment he took the Precaution
of booking three seats. in the center
one of which he seated himself, leaving
those on each side vacant, as to
avoid all risk of being obliged to sit
next to woman!
He even carried his extraordinary
craze beyond the grave, by leaving in
structions that no woman was to be
buried either to the right or left of
him, even if it should be necessary to
purchase three graves in order to in
sure the carrying out of his strange
behest.
Perhaps the most curious thing in
the whole strange story is the state
ment that this agreeable old gentle
man left behind him a large bundle of
letters, which he had grimly Endorsed:
"Atte1npts made by my family to put
me under the yoke OF matrimony."
AS he appears to have been a very
wealthy man. this alleged action on
the part of his relatives seems by no
means easy to explain.-Lady's Pic

Maurice Ingraham strayed into Gou-
pills, as he did nearly every day. in or
der to indulge in a quarter hour Of
Inconsistencies for the paradise of art
from which he had been exiled by
means of a rich legacy. When one
falls heir to the estate of q childless
uncle worth several millions it de-
prives him of the delicious makeshifts
and economies and excursions of the
guild of painters 1t has been said that
champagne tastes and a beer income
are a cause of miseries. But an income
which seems to constraip to champagne
all the time might prove equally
oppressive. Ingraham was conscious
that the men who had worked beside
him in certain famous studio in Paris,
now that he was rich, tried very hard
to treat him in the old cordial way.
But he felt the patronage of art toward
money, which is loftier than that Of
money toward art.
That morning he spicd at Coughs a
photograph Of moderate dimensions, a
landscape signed by former fellow
student of his, Victor Forsythe. Their
friendship had continued, but pallidly
and internationally. Forsythe had mar
ried; the wife was said to be very nice
girl, but not at all of the smart set. 1u-
graham had sent rather expensive
wedding gift and had meant to pay a
visit. Then he heard that the Forsyth
were out OF town Tor the summer. Evil
IDENTIFY the artist had prohted by his
vacation; the photograph from his
painting showed work of rare
quality. 1t was a riverside meadow,
with a clump of willows; the stream
had shadowy depths and luminous cd
dies; some sheep were pasturing in the
foreground. Nothing could be more
simple and serene than this idyllic
landscape-yet Ingrnha'n's first impres-
sion was of something grandiose. After
a moment this quality disappearc';
but if he turned away his gaze and
then looked afresh at the picture it al
ways made the same effect upon him.
He decided that it was something a bout
the backgrounds; there were vague,
large curves, perhaps of clouds or of
distant hills; at all event, they were
extraordinarily imposing in their faint
and tenuous suggestions of immensely.
There is one vulgar consolation re-
served for the bondholder," said 1ngra-
ham humbly to himself. tHe can buy

He at once decided to lunch at an
Italian restaurant frequented by the
painter clique who liked to recall the
impressions of a sketching tour that
they had once made in a body to Rome
and to talk of the coloring of the great

like that without real inspiration.

Come, no, will tell you all about
it, because it will really not do for you
to keep on raving about a stroke of
way of it. Mrs. Forsythe and 1 went
away for our wedding trip as far as
the state of Maine. We visited the
great lakes-which they modestly call
ponds there-ve plunged into the pine
wilderness and turned up among the
too compendious scenery and civiliza-
ton of Mount Desert. At the end of
the city of Portland, and while there
we made a little excursion in a horse
car to d pretty village with an old
English name. The conductor was
friedly, and advised US to walk along
a road until we should come to mill

the neighborhood of human beings.
But the stream and its shores, lovely
bits of level meadow with shady copses

ness, except for the i,npertinent puff
ing of the little launch, were like a
a virgin country. My wife and 1
wished to enjoy it to perfection, SO we

of the ruins, the good taste of the

drank under the vine trellises of a lit

at a table. He crossed the room and
greeted him.
IF you are not expecting anyone.
Forsy the, will you lunch with me?
This is rather like sora Clelia's, isn't
it?''
"a fair imitation. But we miss the
fellow with the guitar and worthy old
Celia, who would sometimes bring a
dish with her own hands in order to
say to us good appetite, my children""
''Ah! the dear old sora C1elia!'
They mingled "reminiscences until it
appeared to InRraham that it would
not be an impertinence on his part to
begin to talk about the painting that
he wished to buy.

AN EMERGENCY DRAWER.
A Csetos lsHDE That should Have a Place
Ia Every IIOuscl,Olsl.


Every honsehould should have
fixed place devoted to simple remedies
for the trivial accidents which often
become such serious affairs through
neglect. Burns, sca}ds, cuts and bruises
are of nearly daily occurrence. and
their frequency we'll as painfulness
demands a little forethought toward
their alienation.
The emergency drawer is designed &c
fill this need. 1t should be stout and
steady, with no tendency to stick fast
when least expected, and we'll out OF
reach of little prying fingers. It
should also be located some where in
the kitchen, oftentimes 4 wound is
neglected rather than run upstairs for
assistance.
The remedy always on hand should
be carron oil equal parts of lime water
and linHed oiD, common baking soda,
arnica, salve, anti-septic gauze. to.
gether with Il bsorbent cotton, old linen.
checsecloth bandagcs and pair OF
scissors. Carron oil is Il sovereign rem
edy for burns and scalcls, and should
always be on hand; baking soda is an
other very good remedy, and in burns
from hot lard will often give relief
much sooner than the oil. 1t is used
either dry or made into strong solu-
tion with water.
Anti-septic gauze is useful in case OF
cuts. After washing thoroughly to re-
move any foreign substance, draw the
edges firmly together and cover neatly
with the gauze. shlve is for slight
burns, ETC.. and serves merely to ex-
clude the air from the tender surface.
Aborbent cotton can be used for
burns and scalds serious enough tc
need bandaging. and should be kept in
place by cheesecloth bandages. These
can be purchased by the roll. but are
easily made. A couple of yards OF
chcesecloth are torn into two-incl
lcngthwise strips. and rolled up.
When needed, cut off the desired length
and slit one end up to within about six
inches of the other end. This is the
physicians method of bandaginE, and
not only has the advantage of not slip
ping readily. but does away with the
unsghtly cords most women tie over a
bandage.
Other simple remedies may also &c
in the drawer. Paregoric and pepper
mint for stomachache, n never-ending
complaint among the smaller fry.
Jamaica ginger for cramps, hartshoru

duplicated with good effect in the
nursery, and may have added Group
medicine from reliable doctor, far
mel bands, hot water bottle, small
syringe and CASTLE soap. good sweet
oil for physic, bottle of soda mint and
Il small collection of the teas which
old-fashioned nurses cling to. The
small expe nditure of time and money
necessary to equip these emergency
drawers will be repaid hundred-f fold
in many cases where time is a valua III e
factor in cures.-DetroitF Free Press.
