Tt was said of the late Edwin A. Ab- bey that his nearsightedness had much to do with his close attention to de- tail, one of the characteristics of his art. An illustrator who does work in black and white, speaking of Mr. Abbey’s conscientious drawing in of details, wondered how much ocular | defects accounted for certain aptitudes of well known artists. “A cynical person told me the other day,” he said. “that he half believed every impressionistic painter was nearsighted and drew what he saw with his glasses off. It sounds sen- sible. “And consider me. I am completely color blind. I cannot even tell blue from 'yellow, a failing which is rarer than red-green color blindness. “Yet 1 would not see colors if 1| could. When I draw, you see, I put in precisely the effects I get in nature, and they tell me that shade gradation is the chief merit of my work. I lay that to color blindness.”—New York Sun. When They Fined the Servants. There must have been a servant problem even in the specious times of Elizabeth, if we may judge by a list of rules drawn up by a baronet of that era for the guidance of his domestic helpers and recently brought to light by an English writer. The baronet evidently liked his house kept in order. and if it were not made absolutely spotless on Friday after dinner every- body responsible had to pay three- pence. He liked punctuality, and six- pence was the fine for meat that was not ready at 11 or before for dinner and at 6 or before for supper, while the table had to be laid half an hour before those times, on pain of two- pence. Oaths were a penny each, and it was equally expensive to leave a door open which was found shut, while to teach any of the children any “unhonest speech” was fourpence. The fines were duly paid each quarter day out of the wages, and with fine vagueness the baronet winds up, “They shall be besto—ed on the poor or other godly use.” The Doctor’s Revenge. It is always a pleasure to hear or little tale, which might be headed “The Doctor’s Revenge.” An elderly lady whose characteristics entitle her to | the present name of Mrs. Portly,. Pom- pous had a pet monkey which suddenly became ill. She had the assurance to send for a prominent physician to treat the little beast. When the doc- tor was introduced to his patient he 'was very mmuch enraged, but he did not betray himself. He took the sick mon- key’s pulse and asked the usual ques- tions. Now, in the room was a little boy, Mrs. Portly Pompous’ grandson. The doctor approached the boy, exam- ined his pulse also and then said sol- | emnly to the lady: “Madam, your two little grandchildren are suffering from indigestion. Give them only light food, with plenty of exercise, and they will come out all right."—Boston Tran- script. End of the Honeymoon. It was along toward the waning of the honeymoon that this dialogue took place: B “Are you sure that you love me as much as ever?” “Perfectly sure.” “And you will never, never love any- body else?’ “Never, never.” “Is there anything you wouldn’t dc to make me happy?” “Nothing within the bounds of rea- son.” “Aha! I thought so! You have be- gun to reason. The honeymoon is over!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
