A New Precious stone.

A new precious stone has lately been
brought to the notice of jewellers and the
public in discoveries made by Mr.. VIII
liam Earl Hidden in Alexander county
North Carolina. The stone resembles
in many respects the emerald, being of
nearly the same color, but is denser and
more brilliant. 1t is named the hidden
lite by the late DR.. J. Lawrence Smith
of Louisville, Ky, who was first
TO recognize its true chemical nature.
This new stone is found in close connec-
ton with the emerald, but does not, like
the latter, belong to the beryi family.
The story of its disc 0very as told by Mr..
Hidden, Is interesting. While carrying
on a search for platinum through the
southern states, under the patronage Of
Thomas A Edison, he came across, in
Alexander county, few pieces of bronze
which in their edges showed tlnge Of
color which yerged distinctly on that of
the emerald. Being an expert minerolo-
gist he came TO the conclusion that a
region which could produce bronze hay
ing slight tint of the true emerald,
color ought to furnish the
pure emerald itself. A vein
was subsequently found at a depth of
eight feet below the surfac, III which he
not only found the true emerald, but with
it many slender crystals having emerald
color, but differing from that gem in
nearly every other respect. 1t was to
those slender crystals that the name of
hiddenite was applied. II is to-day the
rarest among the precious stones, and
has not yet been discovered in any other
place. The largest one found thus
far was three inches long weighed

A FASHIONABLE FOLLY.
Long Handled Eye-Glasses and the Dudines
Who Buy and Use Them.

Philadelphia Times,
"Wiu you kindly let me see some of
your tortoise-shell lorgnets!n languidly
inquired afashionably dressed young lady
the other day as she stood before the
counter in leading opticians store on
Chestnut street and looked the clerk stead
lily in the eye.
"Beg pardon; do you mean opera-glass-
es or eye lasses?" asked the clerk.
Eyeglasses"
Thereupon the clerk pro iuced a large
box, in which was an assortment of the
most absurd specimens of the opticians
handiwork ever sold for failing eyesight.
They were 'lorgnet eyeglasses" so called
because, like the ordinary opera or field
glasses, they have to be continually held
to the eye while in use. The eye-glass
part is shaped like pair of spectacles,
except that instead of two bows to go
back over the ears there is long
handle to be held in the hand.
Ultra fashionable people have de-
cided that these are the proper
things, and in consequence spectacles,
double eyeglasses, and even the single
eyeglass or quiz" having been rele-
gated to the use of the vulgar herd. The
young lady mentioned bought one of the
'lorgnets," and went out of the store af-
ter paying $40 bill for her purchase.
"Do you sell many of these thingsY'
was asked of the optician,
Quantities" he answered, land the
sale of them is constantly increasing.
! The lorgnets' were introduced from Eng
| land about two years ago, but it is
only lately that there has been anything
of fashionable craze for them.
! They are the most ridiculous thing in
the way of Eyeglasses | ever saw. They
are clumsy, and one has to hold them up
to the eyes whenever they are used, which
becomes quite tiresome in time. l sell
them to young ladies mostly, although
their mothers buy them too. They hold
them to their eyes with Lady Clara We're
De We're air and try to look naughty and
well bred My observation is that only
women with very shallow brain-pans use
| lorgnets. Many order plain glasses in
them and extra long handles. The longer
| the handle the more stunning the
/ effect and the shallower the brain. Lorg-
nets are worth from So to $14 each. They
are made of tortoise-shell, Zylonite, and
vulcanite, although l have seen extra fine
ones of mother f-peari. Some are gold
mounted, and cost $50 to $50. They are
mostly for evening use, ard are displayed
at the theatres or wherever there are peo-
/ pie to look at them. At home the lOrg
net-users are glad enough to wear specta
/ cles or glasses, which further goes tC
/ prove that the new tangled arrangement
| is only another of Dame Fashions freaks
