At first Hilda could neither eat nor
speak, but her host in a short time had
succeeded in putting her 50 much at
her ease that she was chattering away
to him about her family her home, and
all her little domestic affairs.
That breakfast must have lasted an
Internationally long period, but Mr..
Smith did not appear to be desirous Of
hurrying it, and everything was SO de-
lightfully strange and novel to Hilda
that she, did not notice the lapse Of
time until her companion suggested
that if they went around now they
would, most probably find "the other
Mr.. Smith at home to lunch. 3 Fl.
Hilda hurried away to put her hat
on, and the more she looked at the ex-
quisitely furnished room, with its cut
glass perfume bottles, chased silver
powder boxes, and all the hundred and
one little additions that go toward
making a woman happy, the more she
wondered who it had been prepared
for. =, ,a Ls. s%s5 r, u u < < II t43.ssi ~

After he had gone, however, the mat

The Lancet: a long series OF expert
ments has recently been made by Prof.
81. riesbach of Basle, upon the rela-
tive acuteness Of the senses of hear
ing, touch, taste and smell ID the cass
OF the blind and those who possess
normal vision. The rese1lts are con
tanned in Pfuger's Archiv. The obser-
sVations were made on those who were
otherwise healthy. In the differentia-
tion Of tactile IMPRESSIONS no remark
able differences were observed between
the seeing and the blind, or il small
differences did exist they were in favor
Of the seeing. In those born blind the.
:tactile sharpness was somewhat less
than in the seeing, and in some cases
the Ssensorium generally was equally
defective. The blind in particular feel
less acutely with the tip Of the index
finger than do those who see, and in
many cases the tactile aeuteness OF the
two index finger tips differs. I In the
blind, especially in the region of the
hand, a stronger impression is re-
squired to produce a tactile Impression
than in those possessed Of sight In
the capability of localizing impressions
OF sound no difference exists between
the blind and the seeing. In both
great individual variations occur. As
rule, both in the seeing and the
blind the use Of the organ of both
sides gives better results than the use
of one alone. No difference in the
acuteness of hearing exists between the
blind and those who see. No relation
was observed between the acuteness
Of hearing and the power Of 1ocalizing
sounds in either the seeing or the
blind. No difference was observed in
the two classes in regard to the acute
ness of smell. In the execution of
manual labor the blind become IA
t1gued sooner than do those Of equal
age WHO see. The blind are more fa
tigued with manual than with mental
work, which is not the case with the
seeing of the same age. If any differ
ence exists In regard to exhaustion af-
ter mental labor it is in favor OF those
of the same age who see. Both among
the blind and the seeing there are
persons who have many, others who
have only a few, and others again who
have no illusory or erroneous impress
sions Of touch. These results are in,
many respects opposed to generally re-
eeived q
posed that deprivation OF sight leads
to exaltation Of the acuteness OF the
other senses, especially Of the touch
and hearing. e

A MAN BARGAIN-HUNTER.
Not Agreeable as tho Provider for a
5E Household. tE

When the man becomes bargain
hunter he goes about it5With masculihe
seriousness, hunts bargains by level
and rule, and there is nothing femi-
nine that can equal him, says the
New York Times. There is one man
in New York who never buys anything
at the regular market price. Just now
he is wearing straw hat that cost 35
cents. That really is a bargain in bar
gains, though he has limited himself to
so cents for straw hat and 81 for the
soft felt hats he wears in winter. He.
also rejoices in a suit that cost 81 so,
and the man who orders his clothes at
the shop where there is only .one
price, says he cannot see much differ
ence between the bargain suit and his
own, where there are two2sigures in
the dollar mark. But then a bargain
always looks better on the other man.
The woman who knows says that a
bargain-hunting man is never bar
gain as a husband. The bargain habit
in the woman is only a bit of feminin-
ity emphasized, but the bargain spirit
in the man means asstrong character
istic which is not agreeable in any one;
who is the proyider for a household.
There is a p. S. to this story, which
has come in at the eleventh hour, and
which goes to show that man as class
is a recognized bargain hunter. These
latest adyices show that at the time
the man an---supposed to be rara avis
when he purchased his 35-cent hat,
also purchased q number Of other
small things, his entire bill amounting
to rs cents. Thereupon the clerk in
the shop, which undo ubtedly caters to
the man bargain hunter, presented
him, in consideration Of his extensive
purchases, with "a card numbered
around the side for punches, emitting
him to have his shoes blacked fifty
times in that estab ishment, without
charge. Did ever a tea store offer a
woman SO large g premium as this

Famous Agnostic's Love for Minister,
Who Prayed for His Welfare. 81
The incident was related by Brad
ford lady who requested that her name
be not mentioned in connection with
it. It was in >Pittsburg,'' she said,
II believe in the Library hall, when I.
first heard Col. Ingersoll speak. There
was large audience gathered there,
among them being clergymen and the
cream of professional life in the city.
Col. Ingersoll's speech was magnif-
cent from an Oratorical standpoint, but
his attack on religion and the Bible
was blasphemous. However, the mans
powers as an orator and as an actor
made deep impression on his hearers
and seemed to affect one man in par
ticular, Rev. Alexander Clark, pastor
of the Methodist church, which every
one in Pittsburg knew as the old home.
At the conclusion of the lecture Col.
Ingersoll was backing from the stage
in his peculiarly graceful manner, when
Rev. Mr.. Clark bounded to the forum,
and asked to be introduced to the
speaker. This formality having been
gone through, the minister and the ag-
nostic Rlasped hands, the minister with
eagerness, the agnostic with a grace
peculiarly his own. we'll remember
the pleasant, hearty, honest manner in
which the great Ingersou .grasped the
hand of that good minister, whose fame
fcfS 10 In ri nd 10
known throughout Pittsburg. Mr..
Clark, when he held Col. Ingersoll's
hand in his, held It tightly, while he
lifted his eyes toward heaven and
prayed in fervent manner that God
would direct the wonderful talents of
this man in another and a better
sphere. His prayer was not long
one, but it was from the heart and had
its effect upon Ingersoll. The great
agnostic, looking the good Christian
in the eyes, thanked him most heartily
for his kindness and solemnly added
that Mr. Clark was the first Christian
minister that had ever wished him
godspeed. He then left the platform
and the audience slowly filed out OF the
building. The sequel, though, shows
Ingersoll as he was. 1t brought out the
great manhood in the agnostic. Rev.
Alexander Clark went west. I am not
sure to what state he emigrated, but
I believe it was Missouri, and there he
became III. -. He was. .at5.as hotel, and
the governor of the state, who had
known him many years, had him re-
moved to his home Mr. Clark grew
worse, and was threatened with death.
The news came east, and Ingersoll
heard it in Washington, where he was
lecturing, and Immediately went west
as quickly as possible and was at the
bedside of the Christian minister and
until the death of Mr. Clark was al
most constantly in attendance upon
him. When Mr. Clark died Ingersoll
took charge of the remains and
brought them east to New Castle, where
they were buried. At the funeral, after
the officiating clergyman had conclud-
ed his sermon, the agnostic delivered
an address touching upon the grand
life and character of the dead man
which moved his hearers to tears. 1t
was one of his best efforts, and was
from the heart ."-Bradford Evening

John Wesley and His Habits.

John Wesley, the founder of Metho-
dism, was born at Epworth, England,
June II, 1903. This celebrated preach
er and religious leader was one of the
hardest workers known to biography.
For fifty years he arose at o'clock in
the morning, summer and winter, and
used to preach at 5. He called this
"the healthiest exercise in the world"
Living before the days of rapid transit,
he travelled from 1000 to 5000 miles
year, usually alone in his carriage. He
always spent three and often ten or
twelve hours alone each day, in this
way finding time to read much and
write extensively. He was very care
full liver, disliking suppers and some
times not tasting animal food for years.
It is said that he once lived four years
on nothing but potatoes From child
hood to death John Wesley enjoyed the
best of health and boasted that he.
never lost nights sleep. He attrib-
uted his good health to his regular
habits, his temperance and his abstem-
iousness. He was a little man with
long hair, which in his old age turned
silvery white. This beautiful silver
hair contrasted against his fresh COM
plexion, made him a striking-looking
old man. Always generous, he lived
frugally and gave away ali that re-
manned of his fortune after paying his
bills In this way he distributed per:
haps $3.50 900 in charity during his long
life. His money was made chiefly from.
the sale of his writings. He was his
own printer and bookseller. He died
March 2, 1891, of old age. 81
