IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
MRS. MARTHA UeA SAGE,
Widow of the financier whose will leaves her probably the richest woman
in the world.
RICHEST OF WIDOWS.
Mrs. Russell Sage, although she
has devoted many years of her life to
charity and philanthropy, is by no
means one of those who give without
taking into account every practical
question concerned. Her years of as
sociation with her husband and the
insight which she has obtained into
business matters make her pre-emi
nently fitted to undertake the great
task imposed upon her by the will of
her husband. She believed that some
day his wealth would be the means of
doing unfold good and she has pre
pared herself to disburse it to pro
duce the best results.
Mr. Sage taught her to see every
thing from its practical side, rather
than merely from its sentimental as
pect, and in her charities, which have
been numerous, she has been actuat
ed by that same spirit. She was of
much assistance to Miss Helen Gould
in the organization and management
of her beneficiaries designed to honor
the name of her father, the late Jay
Gould.
Mrs. Sage lias well developed pow
ers of administration, and that the
care of the great fortune will be con
ducted with ability is the opinion of
those who know her best.
Mrs. Sage is the second wife of
Russell Sage. Her home was Syra
cuse, N. Y., where she was born, in
182S. Her early education was re
ceiverL*-rff*the schools of her native
city, and she then attended the Troy
Female Seminary, since aided by her
husband, and now called the Emma
Willard School. She wrfs graduated
from the institution in 1847, and has
always been one of the most enthu
siastic of the alumnae.
She met Mr. Sage in Troy, and was
a friend of his first wife. Their mar
riage took place in 1869. Soon after
that he moved to New York to try
his fortune in Wall Street.
Mrs. Sage sympathized with her
husband in his endeavors to build up
whir be considered a source of power
and often influenced him to aid
worthy objects. As age crept upon
him she was unremitting in her care
of him. He often said, “The loving
care of a tender wife such as mine is
the greatest gift which a man can
have.”
She believed in him and felt that
often he was misunderstood. The
epitaph for his monument, “I have
done the best that 1 could by the
light of the day,” was her suggestion.
In recent years she devoted her life
to the care of him, and in the last
two or three years she perceptibly
aged under the strain.

SPRING TURNS GRIDDLE CAKE.
The housewife seldom experiences
any trouble in turning her griddle or
batter cakes, but to make the opera
tion easier a Pennsylvania man has
invented the novel cake turner shown
in the illustration. Turning the han
dle to turn the cakes is not neces
sary with the device. All that is re
quired is to press a sitring after the
cake has been put on the lifter and
the turning is done automatically.
The cake turner is made in two parts
—the handle section and t lie lifter
. .—■- " ■
I , --- --—
section. The latter comprises the
cake turner and the rod connecting
it to the handle. At the end of the
rod is a beveled pinion which lifts
into a sector pivoted to the side of
the handle, the sector being made
into one piece with a finger piece.
Attached to the sector is a coiled
spring, which keeps the turner in
its normal position. After placing a
batter cake on the turner the Anger
piece is pressed, the latter moving
the sector, which in turn engages
with the bevel gear on the end of
the rod. The sector being of a pre
determined size, a half-revolution is
imparted to the turner. Releasing
the Anger piece returns the turner to
its normal position.
ELECTRICAL HEATER.
The use of electricity for cooking
purposes was established long ago,
but to utilize it also in portable
heaters for temporary use, as warm
ing beds in place of the ordinary hot
water bag, is the idea of a San Fran
cisco man. It has been the aim of
the inventor also to simplify the con
struction without detracting from its
efficiency. The receptacle is a hol
low casing, covered with asbestos,
the casing being made of perforated
sheet metal. Within the casing is
the electrical apparatus for conduct
ing the heat, the source of supply
being regulated by a key. The cur
rent can readily be supplied by at
j taching to a near-by incandescent
lamp socket, the wire carrying the
; current being made of sufficient
length for ordinary purposes. It is
obvious that the heat can pass out
i freely from the open end of the eas
■ ing and also through the perforations
in the side.

North Dakota Solves the Adultera
tion Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, “How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?” a plan
which is applicable to foods, bever
ages, materials used in the arts, etc.
A new law has recently gone into ef
fect designed to make it impossible
to deceive people into buying inferior
and adulterated paint under the im
pression that they are getting real
paint, viz.; pure white lead and lin
seed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit
the inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
“Let the label tell,” and then left to"
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called “white leads,” no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear & label
which says “pure white lead.”
In all other States mixtures are of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little—sometimes no—-real
white lead.
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. It
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.
It isn't what a man owes, but what
he pays that keeps him poor.

Lawn Mowers’ Hospital.
Grass-cutting machines of every
size and shape, from tiny hand ma
chines only six inches wide up to
pony mowers of thirty-inch blades,
meant for service on bowling; greens
and lawns of manorial dimensions, are
now pouring into repairing shops for
“fixing up” for the season. Most of
them require the aid of the mower
dentist, for their "teeth" are worn
and blunt; many show signs of severe
usage and of having been out in the
rain for prolonged periods. A thor
ough overhaul works wonders. The
machine that looked so disreputable
and “seedy” on entrance to Messrs.
Green’s “hospital,” in Southward
street, is sent home in gay fresh paint
with blades agleam and keen almost
as razors. While foreign machines
stand repairing badly, tlie English

GOOD AND HARD
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking.
It it remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mien, woman rays: “I had been
using coffee since I was old enough to
have a cup of my own at the table,
and from it I have suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
“My trouble first began in the form
of bilious colic, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life.
At every attack for 8 years I suf
fered in this way. I used to pray for
death to relieve me from my suffer
ing. I had also attacks of sick head
ache, and began to suffer from ca
tarrh of the stomach, and of course
awful dyspepsia.
“For about a year I lived on crack
ers and water. Eelieving that coffee
was the cause of all thi3 suffering,
I finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. It agreed
with my stomach, my troubles have
left me and I am fast gaining my
health under its use.
"No wonder I condemn coffee and
tea. No one could be in a much more
critical condition than I was from the
use of coffee. Some doctors pro
nounced it cancer, others ulceration,
but none gave me any relief. But
since I stopped coffee and began Pos
tum I am getting well so fast I can
heartily recommend it for all who
suffer as I did.” Name given by

tired easily, had no

and I lost over 50
pounds. My thirst
was terrible, and
there was sugar in

My doctor kept me on
a strict diet, but as his medicine was
not helping me I began using Doan’s
Kidney Pills. They helped me at
once, and soon all traces of sugar
disappeared. I have regained my
former weight and am perfectly
well.”

“I had »u eruption appear on my chest

limbs as tar as the knees. 1 at first
thought it was prickly heat. But soon
scales or crusts formed where the break

1 year or two later the eruption appeared
again, cr.iy a little lower, but before it
