THE PET MEANNESS.

It is a very curious thing that every
body, nearly, has a rooted aversion to
giving away some one thing No mat
ter how generous the man or woman
may be, in this one thing he or she is
a miser. Baron James Rothschild did
not in the least mind giving thousands
of dollars to 6. hospital, tens of thou
sands in dozens of directions; but
when it came to stamps, the great fl
nancier, it is said, could not bear to
pay the postage on his private letters,
but would send them at the expense of
the firm. With Madame Chere Mere"
in one of Frederika Bremer's charm
ing stories, it was lace. She could give
her children houses and lands, and to
yield them fields and farms did not
cause her pang; but when it became
question of duchess point" she con-
fessed that nothing could be more
painful than to part from the least bit
of it. One of the richest women in
this country boards matches as if they
were so many wands studded with
diamonds. She will give one Or two
under protest, to a relative in need of
them, but she buys them by the
gross, and light and relights them I'M
til the last charred bit falls off, leav-
ing her often with burnt fingers and a
regretful wish that "she could have
used that one once more" When her
children come of age, she gives each
of them two hundred thousand dollars
with the greatest possible cheerful
ness, but if they were to ask her for
a whole box of matches she would feel
that she was being impoverished, and
if they took six, that she was being
robbed.
Then there is the we1l-known case
of the millionaire who supports a
newsboy's home, but will never buy a
paper unless he can beat down the boy
who is selling it and get it at half
price,-after which he not infrequently
presents him With q quarter.-Frances
Courtenay Sa. 10: in Lipplncott's.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1896-01-30
CAREFUL WITH TEA.

AS a rule, it is only among the
prosperous that one finds the pet
meanness. The poor haven't time to
develop fads of any kind; they never
have much of anything, but they give
of their little in way that puts their
richer neighbors to the blush.
The most amusing instance [ can
recall of the effect of a suddenly &C
quired fortune upon a pet meanness is
that told by an English author about
an old woman in an almhouse, who
came into a million by a cnancery de-
cision that had been pending a hun
dred years. She bought everything
that money could buy,-silks, velvets,
laces, furs, estates, carriages, horses,
soi-disant friends even. She threw
away her bank-notes upon everything
imaginable, in a kind of frenzy Of
possession. But when it came to tea,
she suffered she debated, she
chaffed, but she never could make up
her mind to buy ard pay for, at any
one time, more than a. quarter of a
pound of good black Bohea." She
would have felt beggared by a pound
of any tea at any price; it had always
been so precious to her that she had
lost all sense of it's intrinsic value.
Perhaps it represented to some extent
the bright unattainable, without which
life has not zest.-Frances Courtenay
Baylor, in Lippincott's.
