About SDectacles.

Those who are compelled to wear
spectacles are often the victims of a
good deal of personal ridicule nova
days; but time was when it was con-
sidered fashionable to wear them, even
by people who were not in the least
nearsighted. In Spain they formed
part of the costume of every we'll bred
person. This absurd use of glasses
was meant to increase the gravity of the
appearance, and consequently the
veneration with which the wearer of
them was regarded. A young monk
having, through the assistance of his
family, caused his convent to succeed in
an important law suit, thought himself
literally rewarded when the prior,
having embraced him. said, to testify
his gratitude Brother, put on
spectacles r. The glasses of spectacles
were proportioned in size to the rank OF
the wearer; those worn by the Spanish
mobiles were nearly three inches in
diameter. The Marquis of Astoriga,
viceroy of Naples, after having his bust
sculptured in marble, particularly en-
joined the artist not to forget his beauti-
full spectacles.

A Novel Suggestion.

The Cleveland Leader publishes q
column editorial article advocating the
employment of bees as aids to the police
in suppressing disorder in cities. The
Lender says:
All that is necessary to be done is for
the police to keep on hand supply of
bee-hives filed with the most stingy
kind of bees. 1t may be difficult to
feed them on flowers, but that ought to
be overcome. Sugar, honey and molas-
ses are good substitutes for flowers. In
case of riot all policeman needs to
do is to take three or four hives in q
wagon and drive in the midst of a mob
and dump his hives, and then beat q
precipitate retreat. In comparison to
these hives of bees, all the military,
Gatling guns or armed police would be
as nothing in point Of efficiency in scat.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Cork trees are being successfully
grown in Georgia OF some specimens
planted many are now thick enough for
use.
Mr.. II. P. Auersby asserts that a
large amount of humus in soil implies
an abundant previous amount of vegeta-
tion, and this in its turn implies a soil
of at least moderate original fertility.
OF all the men.of war in Europe Italy
has the most heavily iron-plated and
possessed with the most formidable
guns. The Duilic and the Dandolo
have armor twenty-five inches thick,
and they each carry 1C0-ton guns.
In the rivers rolling to sea, says the
American Contract Journal, are millions
of horsepower daily running to waste
We do not appreciate the brook and
river because they are so near and have
been there SO long. Had they COM
menced flowing but to-day we would
have fastened to harness them.
Nothing new under the sun-as Ma.
poleon L. used, in 1916, the first "sleep.
ing, dining room and parlor carr that
ever was built. This car. or chariot,
IVES taken to Waterloo and was pre-
sented to the prince regent of England
by whom it was afterward sold to Mr..
Bullock for $12,500. It eventually
found its way to Madame Tussaud's
wax-work exhibition, London, where it
may still be seen.
One of the objections urged against
the proposed tunnel across the English
channel is that it would open high
way for the invasion of Great Britain in
case of war with continental powers.
DR.. Siemens suggests a novel plan of
defense from such invasion should the
tunnel be constructed. He would ar
range chambers of chalk, in communi-
cation with the shore ends of the tun-
mel, in such manner that the chalk
might be readily flooded with diluted
muriatic acid. The result of turning
on the acid would be the rapid filling
of half mile or more of the tunnel with
carbonic acid gas, through which no
human beings could pass alive.

SEALS.

The seal, as affixed to letters, has a
claim for consideration in the fact of
its historic interest. The seals of Sen
nacherib and Cheops are yet e1tant,
together with multitude of ancient
signets, both of the east and west, and
our letter seals are probably their
official, legal and royal seals still affixed
to documents. As symbols. of power
they were, no doubt, affixed upon a
missive to forbid its opening by an un
authorized person, and their signifi-
cance would be generally regarded
The early Christians used the sacred
devices of the dove, the fish, the
anchor and the Tyre; and the monks
OF Durham, becoming possessed of a
seal on which was figured the head of
Jupiter Tonans, had engraven beneath
it the name of good King Oswald, thus
sanctifying it to the uses of the church.
In England, before watches were worn,
the seal was attached TO the wrist,
forming, in fsct, pendant to brace
let. Shakspeare's signet has his initials,
'W. s." and true lovers knot-a de-
vice which has led to the supposition
that it was given to him by Anne Hath
away. Mary, Queen of Scots, had a
seal with the arms of the three king
doms upon it, and the use of this formed
count of the indictment against her.
Another ring of interest which may
possibly have been used as signet was
a cameo ring still in existence, which
is said to be the identical one given by
Queen Elizabeth to the Earl of Essex.
This is only one OF thousand signets
of historic interest that are still pre-.
served. The "biggest thing" among
these belongs, as a matter of course, to
America, and was presented to Presi-
dent Pierce by some citizen of San
Francisco. Upon this was represented
kind of summary of Californian his
tory, and number of devices, such as
a grizzly bear and an enraged boa.
Without it was engraved the presidents

precious gift was something like a

The Trade i'm False Hair,

Hair has been SO ill-treated by fash,o
that its vitality is now seriously ilu-
paired. What with the strain and orer-
heating due to the blending of the false
with the real, the binding, the crimp-
ing, the curling and the dyeing, vast
| number OF ladies have prematurely lost
all or greater part of this graceful
appendage of the human form divine.
Hence the unwelcome fashion, adopted
per force, of wearing short hair, as
preferable to no hair, has gained
ground. and We hope the refreshing
effect of the scissors may repair some of
the mischief done. At the same time,
the demand for false hair has greatly
increased, while the supply has
diminished to an extent qualified
as perfectly alarming by the West
End coiffeurs. Europeans either
will not sell their hair or have no longer
any hair to sell, and the trade has been
compelled to travel further afield. The
actual supply of false hair for the
European markets is now for the most
part imported via Marseilles from Asia
Minor, India, China and Japan. But
| the hair imported from these cor ntri IS
is almost invariably black, and fans H.
terly to harmonize with the auburn and
golden tints that 80 we'll befit a North.
ern complexion. It has, therefore,
been found necessary to boil the hair in
diluted nitric acid to deprive it of it's
original color, and it then can be dyed
to the tint most in vogue. This opera
tion has, however, been attended with
considerable danger to the workmen
engaged in this new handicraft. Sc
we're coughs, bronchitis and other acci.
dents were the natural results of the
nitrous vapor escaping from the cal
drons used for boiling the hair. This
new danger appears to have been first
discovered by DR.. Felix, OF Bucharest,
and the Roumanian council of hygiene
has issued circular to all members of
the trade warning them of the danger,
and suggesting the necessary precau-
tions. These fac fail to harmonize
with the poets conception that beauty
can draw love with single hair. The
demand is for hair by the ton, and it is
time to see that in adapting the color of
Eastern hair to Western usages-the
work should be carried out under
proper supervision. We should strongly
object to hairdressers indulging In
amateur dabbling with dangerous
chemicals, especially nitric acid.--Lon.
don Lancet.

HEALTH HINTS.

Accustom children to eat regularly
and slowly.
Impure air kills as surely as pure air
keeps alive.
Meat should be eaten very sparingly
during the warm months.
The mightiest curative force in the
universe lies in the person.
Let the liver rest by giving up tea,
coffee, sugar, salt and butter.
What is called mixed diet is bad
food for adults in hot weather, and very
bad for children.
According to DR.. Foote's Health
Monthly, 6 ASS of water, taken when
retiring and on rising, will often re-
lieve costiveness.
OF all the means which can be used
to give strength, tone and intrinsic
power to the physical organization,
working the soil is the hest.
There is eminent medical authority
for the statement that unripe or very
old potatoes contain certain quantity
of solanine. This may produce serious
r, suits if the potatoes are boiled with
their skins on, and if they are eaten in
large quantities.

Of various colors, sparkling with fakes
Of steel and otherwise ornamented with
loose lozenges of metal hanging among
the threads.
The new pink shade called crecette, OF
shrimp, is something between tea rose
and salmon color. 1t is fashionably
worn of satin or MORE. draped with
tulle, for evening toilets at Saratoga
and Newport.
A new transparent lawn called sylph-

celebrated Glasgow ginghams are
woven, and is one of the most service

Tartan plaids, checks, blocks and bars
are the designs of this soft undressed
lawn.
Brandebourgs, or frogs, have become
too common to be used on nice travel
ing dresses. In lieu of these braid is
arranged in large round spots that
measure three or four inches across the
middle, and are made by circular rows
one after the other. These are put in
rows of three on the dress skirt and on
the upper skirt, with one row on the
collar and sleeves. Dark brown circles
of braid are stylish on tan or drab wool
dresses,
