The Lonely Woman Diner


While the solitary man dimes badly. the
lonely woman often dimes not at ALL A
man may be trusted to take food enough
though he takes it in the wrong way: but
with a woman it is very different. She is
more emotional and imagna tive and does
not realize the gross necessities of exist
ence. The very idea of solitary chop
fianked by a lonely tomato is repugnant to
her, and she is apt to put off the evil meal
with tea and toast

American apples are cored. sliced and
dried, sent to France, and there converted
into cider. With the addition of carbonic
acid gas and yeast and little flavorng
powder, the cider becomes champagne, and
much of it comes to England and is drunk

THE EYES BLIND SPOT.
4 Phenomenon TOt Discovered Until
Charles lis Time.

If / wrote an article about the eye
and said nothing about the blind spot,
which is where the optic nerve comes
through into the retira, about one
tenth of an inch nearer the nose than
the center, l suppose my readers
would 90 TO the box office and demand
their money back.
Just to be different from other people.

and a dot over there and tell you how to

had no real entity, but l won't. l know
better scheme. Close your fists with
your thumbs outside and hold against
each other. Extend your arms. Shut your
left eye and look fixedly with your right
eye at your left thumb. Separate your
hands, and when they are about six inches
apart the right thumb will 20 out of bust
ness temporarily, for its picture will fall
on the blind spot.
Now, here's the curious part of it.
Though men have tried all sorts of ex-
periments on themselves for unknown
thousands of years this phenomenon was
not discovered until the time of Charles
II, OF Egland. The blind spot leaves no
hole in the picture OF the outside world,
but there being no stimulation on that
spot, there is not consciousness of
lack, but a lack of consciousness.-Ains-

CEILING DECORATIONS.
Curious and Expensive Fad of n
Russian NobIeman.

A Russian nobleman of immense wealth
has hit upon a curious method of ceiling
decoration. Every ceiling in his mansion
contains a fresco dealing with an episode
in the career of his ancestors, and the
whole forms what is perhaps a unique
example of inner-roof characterization.
Nearly 100000 rubles has been expended
upon this extraordinary work.
Less eXtravagant, but undoubtedly quite
as curious, is the ceiling decorations of
certain London householder. who has COW
cred the surface in question with Cancelled
checks, returned to him through his bank.
At first glance the real nature of this
quaint establishment is not apparent to
the spectator. but the effect Of the same
is said to be positively charming.
4 Tuscan noble, who fiourished during
the seventeenth century, had the ceilings
Of his palace lined with exquisite mirrors
of the finest quality OF glass, while
contemporary of his adopted a similar
device. the mirrors however being neck
ed with gorgeous flowers of all hues of
the rainbow. The effect presented by the
latter decoration was reputed to be eX
ceedingly picturesque. and one may well
conceive that such was indeed the case.

TEETH IN THE ARMY.
Dentists Sent to south Africa to At

After twenty one months fighting four
dental surgeons have been sent to South
Africa to attend TO the teeth of the army
Thus does the war Office put forth stu

No soldier who has campaigned six
months in Africa will, il he be wise,
neglect a chance OF having his teeth ex-
amined. Each surgeon, therefore, will
have a clientele of 81, 500 officers and men.
Assuming that on every day of the week,
including Sunday, thirty men are treated
by each dentist, the teeth OF the army will
have been oYerhauied and the work OF ex-
cavating and filling completed in some

WHAT HE DID WITH 1T.
street Car EmpIoye who Knew the
Value of Money.

Not long ago a director of the street
railway company, who was unknown to
most of the employees. came to Kansas
City to look over the roads. He thought
he would speak to some of the men to
find out how they liked the treatment
they were getting from the company. Ac-
cordingly he got on cable car and be-
gan to question the gripman.
'How do you like to work for the COM
pany?" he asked.

TEACHER SOCIETY RIGHTS.
Tennessee school Trustees Tried to
Limit Them and Failed.

A des patch from Nashville, Tenn. says:
Because Miss Frances Copass, a talented
and popular young instructor at the Hall
Moody Institute, at '.artin, went INTO
society too much to suit the venerable
trustees OF the institution, she was dis
charged as teacher. though she had a
contract for a years work. No cause for
the discharge was assigned. save that she
tailed to comply with the demands made
of her. Public sentiment was aroused,
and the people or the town demanded that
she assert her rights on the contract.
she brought suit for salary. At the
trial the evidence developed the fact that
her qualifications as a teacher were first
class, and that her work in the school
room gave universal satisfaction. The de-
fence claimed by the trustees was that
they had a right TO regulate when and
how often she should attend social func-
lions, and that they had demanded of her
that she should not 60 into society more
than three times a week. Miss Copass
proved conclusiyely that she had never
had callers more than once or twice a
week
"A large crowd turned out to the trial.
The young woman won the suit, and it is
now up 10 the trustees to reinstate Miss
COpass or pay her for a years work as
provided under the contract"

BRUIN ON A SPREE.
Invaded Dairy. Drank His Fill and
Was Eeppy.

TIE rroverbial bull in a china shop has
found an imitator In bear which has
been paying an unlimited visit to an es-
adjustment where milk is dispensed, but
in order to relieve Immediately any
anxiety which might be felt on this
subject. l hasten to add that bruip be-
haved extremely we'll and that no bones
or crockery were broken. The bear was
being exhibited on one of the outlying
boulevards when its owner in an absent
minded fit relaxed his hold on the chain.
The animal took advantage Of this stu
alton to start on a promenade, and when
the people who had gathered round to
witness the show boltcd panic-stricken in
every direction, il pursued the even tenor
of its way until it had reached the shop,
at the door Of which a pail of milk was
standing. 1t seized the can in its paws,
walked into the establishment, and squat
ting comfortably in corner, drank off
the contents at one gulp.
When the owner of the bear arrived on
the spot he found the worthy woman who
keeps the milkship lying prone on the
floor behind the counter in a state of
abject terror, but otherwise not bit the
worse for the adventure. He patted

panion, WHO during the remainder of the
day went through his evolutions with
even more zeal and energy than he was
wont to display, so that when his owner

CHARGED WITH THEFT.
Richn,Ond's Smart Set Startled by
Accusation of n Society Leader.

The Richmond smart ser was thrown
into an intense state of suppressed ex-
citement when it became noised abroad
a day or two ago that one of its most
prominent and exclusive young ladies had
laid a serious charge at the door of Il
weil-known and universally popular
young man. The accusation is every
where received with Indignation, though
even retentive tongues cannot refrain re-
pcating ii and he very air of this circle
echoes with the often-'old incident.
The story runs thus: The aforesaid
gentleman made an engagement with the
fair damsel for a recent german, and was
told that the latter's carriage was at his
disposal The eventful night arrived and
he, DOMINIC his dress clothes, settled
himself to await the conveyance. Minutes
slipped into hours and he received no
call.
AT 1890 he strolled around to investi-
gate. There awaited him, in the place
of the usual welcoming smiles, a stony
stare. His apology for being late she con-
sidered worse than the offence. Yet, be-
cause of nothing better" she consented
to go with him. He informed her that
his physical lassitude at that hour was
so oNerpoWerinS that she was fortunate 10
have him at all.
During the german the young lady de-
cided to go to the depot to meet a friend,
and on their way down she gave him
watch which she was wearing for safe
keeping. The train was late, SO they re-
turned TO the german. AS they entered
the hall the young man handed back the
watch. which his companion took. and
noting the hour, remarked that they were
just in time for supper. That is the last
seen of it.
a few days later the young man was
the recipient of a cleverly- phrased note,
in which he was asked to return the
watch. which the writer doubted not, he
needed; yet she would rather he would
take somebody's else.
Surprised and indignant, the young man
FASTENED to see her; there he found re-
was informed, since the matter was in the
ception like to plunge in a shower bath.
hands of her guardian.
The guardian was next seen, after which
the young man decided to replace the
missing watch.
A try of watches from one of the jew
elry establishments was sent up, but re-
turned untouched.
Thus the matter stands. Coniectures
and surmises are numerous as to the out
come. but from present prospects the
mystery will remain unsolyed, for the
young man has done even more than is
required of him, and the young lady is at
this writing minus watch.-Richmond

CENTRE OF CREATIVE ART.
That, Says sculptor MacMOnnies Is
America's Destiny.

Frederick William MacMonnies one of
the leading sculptors of the world, born
an American, has just come home to live
and work in his native land. After sew
enteen years residence in Paris, it would
be natural to suspect a man of Partisan
leanngs. Not so with Mr.. MacMonnies.
Il have come back because | am home
sick" said he. One must go, in his opin-
ion. to the hotbed of his art or his profess
sion, work there a long time, always
studying, and then with the training of
years in the best school, let the man re-
turn to his own country and apply what
he has learned to its needs. The posi-
bilities in this country for sculpture are
magnificent. | can't imagine anything
finer. There is a splendid, unmistakable
movement in the United States toward
having all that is beautiful and true
Some of the finest things in the world
sculpture have been called forth by pa
triotism. There are no people in tho
world SO patriotic as the Americans"
That does not sound as if the Amer
lean nation was composed of money grab
bers and stock brokers alone. When
We can remind ourselves of Abbey and
Sargent and MacMonnies and know they
are all Americans wherever they may be
and when, every now and then, one or
the other speaks thus of the outlook
Mr.. Abbey yesterday. Mr.. MacMonnies
today, Mr.. Sargent or someone else to-
morrow-then there is much to be said OF
the future of American arts. These men
have sought the best place to learn, and
they come home from time to time to
do work in their own land. 1t was not so
a quarter or half century ago.
II is so today. and George Meredith was
right, when he said that soon, in twenty
five, in fifty years-the centre of creative
art would be in America. Even if Boston
did not like Mr. MacMonnies 'Bac-
chante,'' it is a work of great art. And sc
was the fountain at Chicago, and so Is
the equestrian statue of General Slocum,
soon to be set up in Brooklyn. So, let us
hope, will be many more pieces of sculp-
ture from the clay of the newly returned
American.-Harper' Weekly.
