We note with sincere regret the death Of Max
Judd from heart disease, which occurred last
month Max Judd one of the best known
chess players in the United Statesand has taken
the most active interest in the game since his
defeat of the Italian chess master, Aborni in
1874. Since that time Mr. Judd has taken part
in nearly all the American Chess congresses and
played many important matches. Mr. Judd was
55 years of age at the time of his death, which
occurred in st. Louis, where he lived with his
wife. He left no children. Mr.. Judd was, for
many years, prominent and successful business
man and under President Cleveland was appointed
Consul to Vienna, holding this office for several
years. The following game was played by him
shortly before his death with the Hungarian
master, Geza Maroczy. 1t is the last important
game played by Mr.. Judd.

OF course, woman who has never known trou-
BILE is always happy, but her character has not
the moral worth of the woman who has suffered
and learned to smile again. This woman knows
that she herself is Heaven and hell" that she is
the measure of her own happiness or unhappi-
ness
She has learned to choke down regrets for what
she may not have and to take delight in the
blessings she has
If she has had pecuniary troubles, she doesn't
walk past the windows of the millinery shops
and gaze at the imported hats she can't afford to
buy, but sits quietly in her little hall bedroom,
fixes up her old hat and rejoices that she can
make it look so becoming.
If she has '1oved and lost" she doesn't drift
into bitter old maidenhood, but remains bach
elor girl always, and she lets the wells OF her
affection overflow upon the children of her sis
ter or her chum
She knows that there is no use crying over
split milk and that bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush; that what you actually have
is much better than what you may have, and
is certainly great deal better than what you
cannot have.
What YOU have not, may seem to you much
more desirable than what you actually have in
your possession, but then the who has
mastered the art of being happy doesn't allow
herself to remember such things
THE HAPPINESS HABIT
She has learned to be happy by means of steady
practice
She has begun by forcing herself to take an
interest in other peoples troubles and also in
their joys, which latter she discovers to be much
the harder thing to do.
She has cultivated the habit of always looking
happy, of having smile for everybody and a
ready fund of merry stories to make people
laugh.
She has kept her troubles strictly to herself,
and has thought of them as little as possible. She
has gone out as much possible and gotten all
the pleasure out of life that she could
She has not read morbid books, but has re-
freshed her mind with either a light novel or
something instructive, according to her tastes.
If at any time she has felt her troubles becom-
ing too much for her, she has gone up to her

ing Of the same. Then the faddists received a
shock, for DR.. de Montieur declared that it was
not Fashion, but Science which decreed the wear
ing of vari-hued glasses.
WHITE SHOULD BE ABANDONED.
Yellow, varying in shade from rich orange
to delicate canary, is the most restfu color,
and is prescribed when the eye has been over
worked or strained in any way. 1t is the color
to be worn when travelling Next comes the deli
cately tinted pink glass, and this is fol-
lowed by the mauve or pale violet. Except for
long periods of close application, Dir. de Montieur
declares that the white or water" glass should
not be worn. Even when working and using the
eyes continually, he advises the wearing of deli
cate clear yellow.
Dr. de Montieur has tested and finds that pa
tiens suffering from optical trouble do not re-
quire ground glass at all, that is they do not re-
quire to have objects either magnifed or reduced,
to have distances heightened or foreshortened,
but simply to have the eyes rested by this col
or method.
For cases of this kind, he advises the mainte-
nance of several pairs of ''eye toners" of various
colors, that if yellow is worn in the forenoon
the eyes can be rested by changing the world to
pink violet delicate blue in the afternoon.
These glasses must be made of the best hawless
glass, and when there is some real trouble with
the eye and suitable variety of colored lenses
are too expensive for the patient, DR.. de Mon
tieur let's his client off with two colors, yellow
and rose. He declares that it is essential to have
the world these two colors if the eyes
would be kept healthy and rested
There some optical troubles which will not
respond to the yellow or rose treatment which
yield readily to the pale violet or blue, and to
these eyes delicate shade of green is also rest
full
The doctor advocates wearing soft colors. He
says get away from the trying black and white
and avoid glaring tones of any color Dresses
draperies, wall paper and carpets should be Sc
lected with thought to the effect they will have
upon the eye, and only subdued tones used This
done, then the house should be thrown wide open

lSs@SgJ pered and amiabe and it is joy to
know her, for she makes everybody
who comes near her happy too.
She is not annoyed by trihes nor irritated by
fancied sights.
Her good humor is contagious, and makes all
work undertaken by her or by those who have
to work with her, progress much more rapidly
than if she had been cross, sullen or snappish.
She doesn't write letters TO the newspapers com
planning that her employer dictates too fast for
her, that her ''steady young man. has taken
out another girl
. If she has any worries, she keeps them to her
self, and nobody would ever guess from her sun
ny smile that she is not the happiest woman in
the world for she knows that even if she does
have worries she has no right to bother other
people with them, for they probably have enough
burdens of their own without being saddled
with hers.
EQUIPPED FOR LIES BATTLES
But l am speaking more of the woman who is
really happy than of the woman who only pre-
tends to be for the sake of others. OF course,
am not pretending that this isn't workaday
world, and that there aren't enough troubles in
it to put any woman in her grave, but then wo-
men traditionally brave and able to face
trouble of all kinds with bold front.
If death deprives them of what they love best,
they go on living just the same, and performing
little daily duties which are perhaps so connected
with their dear one that their hearts almost
break in the performance 6f them; or if finan-
cial reverses come upon them they can leave the
protecting shelter of their homes and go out and
fight their battle shoulder to shoulder with men,
But different women bear their troubles diff
ferently.
While one woman grows old and wrinked and
ugly with constant complaints and continual ref
erences to her better days, another woman will
keep growing sweeter and prettier and younger
every day of her life because she has solved the
secret of being happy.

Of 235 Friend street.
Though their shops are far from being large
establishments, the degrees of success they have
reached speaks well for their executive and ad-
ministrative ability.
Mrs. Flannery started on her enterprise some
twelve years ago, when on the death Of her hus-
band she found herself obliged to support her
self and family
The womans daughter is one of the four cigar
makers employed in the establishment. Mrs
Flannery is part of the time engaged at work in
the factory and at other times she is out on the
road getting business. She is probably the only
woman cigar drummer in the country.
Mrs Lemery became cigar manufacturer also
on the death of her husband
"Whle do not expect to become big manu-
facturer, I am holding my own, and am quite
satisfied" she said.
'I do not see anything extraordinary in

that there are not any more in the business lies,
in my opinion, in the fact that small manu-
facturer must be his own drummer, and women
as rule do not like drumming"

One of the reasons why camphor is becoming
scarcer and dearer is said to be that it is ex-

At present camphor is mainly produced from the
so-called camphor tree. which attains a gigantic
size in Japan, one specimen recently measured
being 115 feet tall and having a trunk over
fourteen feet and half in diameter.
The tree is common in China, but yet the
production of camphor in that country is very
