TOO GREAT A SURPRISE.
The Cause of the Patients Collapse
Most Remarkable and
Inexphcable.

The physician who had been hastily
summoned to attend the millionaire
philanthropist found his patient in a
semi-comatose condition, relates Will
liam e. McKenna. in Puck.
ut is a case Of nervous prostration,"
he said, after brief examination. HE
has collapsed from overwork!"
ut is just as feared!" said the pa
tents wife. ''In spite of all could
say he spent hour after hour and day
after day in signing checks for dona-
TONS And. not satisfied with giving
his money away in the daytime, he
would sit up far into the night! Good
ness knows, the girls and / did all we
could to help him get rid of his money,
but, you know, his income is so enor.

FOR FASHIONS FOLLOWERS.
Fads and Fancies of the Season for
the Fair Devotees of
Dress.

Pongee and natural linen shirt waists
are much in demand. They are worn
with tan or golden brown suits.
In linen suits white and champagne
NJ be favored shades, while exclusive
moi. stes give preference to the most
delicate gray tint. The blue tints viii
also have considerable vogue.
For summer the white lingerie waist
will be the leader reports the Brook
Ign Eagle.
Linen embroideries are utilized for
the establishment of silk and wooden,
as we'll as linen costumes.
Fashionable milliners are introducing
a chic touch of blue, pink or pale hello
trope on white hats.
Button novelties include some artis-
tic specimens of Wedgewood porcelain
with decoration in white.
Pearl buttons decorated with gold
make an exceedingly effective trim
ming.
Champagne shades comprise any
thing from cream white to a castor
shade.
Besides champagne, the preferred
tints in ribbons are light shades OF
heliotrope, blue and pink.
Closely clustered wreaths of roses,
minus any foliage, are used for the
decoration of dressy hats.
A Juliette cap composed entirely OF
pearls is a charming hair decoration
for a young girl, and its effectiveness
is increased by the addition Of an
aigrette, which gives height and style
Dark blue net embroidered with pail
lettes in lighter shade Of blue or in
opalescent hues makes charming dim
ner gown for the woman to whom blue
is becoming.
Real bronze, carved or hammered in
to a variety of beautiful shapes, Is en-
ployed for parasol handles Carved
jade is also used for parasol and UNI
brella handles Of the newest design.
Plain black satin, with a shaped
flounce and bordered by three neat
double box-pleated ruches, Is recon-
mended as most satisfactory for a gen.
eral utility petticoat.

WOMEN MONEY ENGRAVERS
Thousands of Fair Experts Are Given
Employment by Government
at Washington.

Among the most valued employees OF
the bureau of engraving and printing
those women who attend to the details
of the engraving of money dies hold
nigh rank, says a Washington report.
The work of preparation on a sheet con-
tanning four 81 bills is as great as that
expended in making two $4,000 bills.
The largest bond made at the bureau
of engraving is the $4,000 per cent.
consol. It is a beautiful product of the
engraving art. The largest government
note issued is the $4,000 gold certiti-
cate. It is a beautiful creation.
There is no particular respect ac-
corded any especial product of the bu-
reau. Most persons would not carry a
$4,000 gold certificate around in their
pistol pocket very many days. Indeed,
a glass case would hardly be deemed a
sufficiently secure repository. But in
the bureau of engraving 81 bill, sheet
of 2-cent stamps or a $4,000 bill is run
through about the same hopper, and
each receives the same extreme degree
Of attention and security.
There are about 5000 persons en-
ployed in the bureau. They get down to
work about o'clock in the morning and
work until 4:3O or 6 o'clock in the after
noon. 1t might be well to remember
that they all work, too. 1t is one OF the
busiest places as we'll as most interest
ing workshops in the government serV-
ice.
OF the 5000 employees there fully Is
per cent. are women. The character OF
much of the work is peculiarly adapted
to women. Each printer has woman as
sistant. She is equally responsible with
the man for the security of their joint
work. They are bright and intelligent
class of women, too In whatever de-
partment one goes he will find them
holding jointly with men positions OF
honor and great responsibility.
For the delectation of the thousands
of visitors that make the bureau Mecca
during a sojourn at the capital very at
tractive array of bank notes, treasury
notes, bonds and other legal securities OF
the government is framed and hung up
in the corridor of the building.
There one can feast the eyes on the
money Of the government, and perhaps
learn of certain bills of high denom-
nation in circulation which he had
never seen. There is also neat frame
on the wall showing the new 81, 50 and
$40 currency of the Philippine islands
The notes are very attractive and are
much smaller than our notes. The bills
Of large denomination are in sums OF
500, $500, 81 900, $1,000 and $4,000.
It is Appropriated that about 81 per
cent. of the money made at the bureau
is in the form of 81, 50, S., $40 and $40
bills The remaining IS per cent. is left
to the production of 800, $500, 81, 900 and
$4,000 bills 1t is stated that during the
recent year there were printed about
Sl7, 100000 Of 81 bills, $26,OOO,O0 Of 81
bills, $21S, 900 900 Of IS bills, $24S 900 ,OOC
of $40 bills and $197, 5000 Of $50 bills.
officials place the period Of usefulness
of a greenback at between 3 and
years. This is estimated on the continu-
I Gus circulation of the note.

KEEP AT TOP CONDITION.
It Is Necessary in Order That One
May Always Be in Shape
to Do His Best.

The real material with which you
build your career is in you. Your own
self is your greatest capital. The secret
of future achievement is locked up in
your brain, in your nerves, in your mus
cles, in your ambition, in your deter
mination, and in your ideal, says ORR
son SWEET Marden, in Success. Every
thing depends upon your physical and
mental condition, for that governs your
vitality, your vigor and your ability to
do things. The amount Of physical and
mental force you are able to use in your
vocation will measure your ultimate

HOW TO GET TO SLEEP.
Yielding to the Rhythmic Influence
of Sounds and Noises That Are
Not Preventable.

When we are not necessarily over
tired but perhaps only a little tired
from the days work, it is not urcom-
mon to be kept awake by a Tapping
curtain or a swinging door, by I'M
usual noises in the streets, or by peo-
pie talking, writes Annie Payson Call
in Leslie's Monthly.
If we are willing that the curtain
should go on tapping, the door to 90
on slamming, or the noise in the street
continue steadily on, our brains yield
to the conditions and so sleep natural
ly, because the noise goes through us,
so to speak, and does not run hard
against our unwillingness to hear it.
There are three facts which may help
to remove this resistance
One is that in almost every sound
there is a certain rhythm. If we yield
to the sound enough to become sensi-
tive to its rhythm, that, in itself, Is
soothing, and what before was keeping
us awake now helps us to go to sleep.
The rhythm of sound and motion in
sleeping carsNand steamers is, in itself,
soothing If you keep your mind stead
lily on it, you will probably be asleep
h less than an hour, and, when the
car stops, you will wake only enough
to settle comfortably into the sense mo-
ton when it starts again. 1t is pleasant
to notice the gentleness with which a
good engineer starts his train at night,
and gives us many lesson on the use
Of gentle beginnings, with Cther things
besides locomotive engines.
The second fact with regard to yield
ing, instead of resisting, in order to get
to sleep is that listening alone, apart
from rhythm, tends to make one sleepy,
and this leads us at once to the third
fact, that getting to sleep is nothing
but healthy form of concentration.

WATERS ARE TOO FAMILIAR
In Andalusia They Go About Putting
Cigarette Smoke Into the
Faces Of Patrons.

"I'm glad the game is over. / shall
never come here again. The idea of
the waiter looking on and giving his
opinion as to our play! When / want
to play an exhibition game Of chess
I'll select my spectators" said
Broadway New Yorker who, relates
the Tribune, had wandered into an
East Side Hungarian cafe for a game.
"You should not take the thing so
seriously" said his companion, and
you would not if you knew the Hun
garians better. This waiter is so &C.
customed to serving his own country
men, who think it all right when he
oversteps the bars, that he does the
same with us. II you want to get
shocked in that respect you want to go
to Andalusia, where l was last sum-
mer. In that part of Spain, where 1t
never rains a drop from May till Oc-
tober, and where they have about 80
feast days in year, the liberties taken
by servants would startle you. There
the people are so absolutely indepen-
dent that the servants make you feel
that you are being favored when you
receive their attention. The street
beggars who sleep on your doorsteps
don't move to let you pass in or out.
They do not mean to be disrespectful,
and they are not, but one man thinks
himself as good as the other, and just
a little better, and that precludes the
respectful treatment we are accus-
toned to at the hands Of our serV-
ants"
Eyes; but how about a waiter in
public restaurant putting in his oar
in a game of chess?"
He'll do more there. I have seen
walters go about in frst-class restau-
rants in Malaga and other places in
Andalusia putting cigarette smoke into
the faces of the patrons Of the place.
They sit down at the tables with the
guests and drink with them, and the
old joke about shaking hands with
the waiter has no point there, because
it actually happens"
"Well, If l were at Seville, Granada,
Cadiz, Cordova, or any other place in
the Andalusian part of Spain, I might
think such familiarity pardonable be-
cause of it's queerness; but In New
York | object. Let's CO."

LARDER OF MoATED GRAM E
Hidden Chambers Of Old Now Used

Most of England's moated houses had
their secret hiding-places. In the long
gallery of Parham hall a sliding panel in
window-seat exposed narrow passage
leading to a hole beneath the floor,
wherein a prescribed priest might take

Painting with Milk.

Mr.. Guy E. Mitchell tells of strange
use for milk. He and others have used
It for painting barns ard outbuildiDgg.
Into 4 gallon of milk are stirred three
pounds of Portland cement and enough
pigment to give the proper color. This
mixture, spread on the wood makes a
coating that after six hours becomes as
good and lasting as oil paint. 1t makes
the best possible paint for trees where
large limbs have been pruned or sawed
off. saws Mr.. Mitchell.
