An Improved Opera Glass.

Short sighted people are always at a
disadvantage in a theatre. Indeed, Sc
is every one who is obliged from any
defect in the sight to wear spectacles.
Opera glasses are difficult to manipu-
late while spectacles rest upon the nose
of the operator l have heard some
painful remarks proceed from the
mouth of an otherwise virtuous young
man while he has been trying to get
his spectacles and his opera glass in to
a common focus To the relief OF
these unfortunates comes Il well
known manufacturer of this city with
a novel arrangement. He has invent
ed an opera glass with spectacle at
tachment- Behind the small end OF
the opera glass is frame into which
eyeglasses may be easily slipped, and
as easily removed again, SO that the
lorgnette can be used one minute by a
faulty eyed and the next by whole
eyed man A patent has been granted
on this simple yet ingenious contri.
vance, and / hear that $40, 900 has al
ready been offered to the inventor OF
it.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Diving in q Sea of Ink.

If the designer of one of the large
theatrical posters that adorned cer-
tain high board fence on La Sale
street lately could have seen an act
that was witnessed by a number of
people he would have been puffed up
with pride. 1t was one of those wild,
tempestuous sea scenes and it attract
ed tho notice of newsboy who was
passing. Full of life and frolic, he
took up a position on the curbstone
and surveyed the raging waters He
had companion who was waiting
for him down the walk, but the lad.
it seemed, had no idea of hurrying
He had in all probability read dime
novels and had strong desires to play
the part of hero. Doubtless in the
flood before him was some fair maiden
clinging to broken mast or piece of
floating wreck and he was going to
save her or perish in the attempt.
Whatever his idea, he put his hands
over his head as boy does when pre-
pairing to make dive, and rushed for
ward as If in reality he was going to
make a plunge. The little fellow
miscalculated the distapce and banged
hard against the boards of the fence.
They were sprungto some extent, and,
giving as he went against them,
swung back, throwing the lad out to
the edge of the walk again, where he
fell into puddle of real water that
had accumulated on the walk. He
picked himself up and joined his
laughing comrade looking as sheepish
as possible. But the act illustrated
how real the sea scene had appeared to
him. Chicago Herald

Yestre'en the queen had four Maries,


The son of a well known musician in
this city chose an odd occasion to show
his piety the other day.
The young man is about two and a
half years old, and of late he has been
demonstrating his nimbleness by
climbing up the trelhs of grape ar
Dor in the paternal garden. Afraid Of
some ugly accident his father warned
his son and heir that the next time he
caught him clambering about that ar
Dor he should spank him. Hardly had
he uttered the warning and turned his
back when the acrobatic youth was
half way up the arbor. AS soon as his
father caught sight of him the child
realizing his fate cried, Come and
spank Eddie, and the executioner
seized his victim and took him to the
scaffold, or in palmer words the parlor.
There, as the unromantic preGminaries
of the execution were in progress, the
little hero exclaimed, Let me say my

A .Iewess on the Throne.

Jewesses have married into some of
the noblest families of Europe; but a
Jewess on a throne-even though a
very small one-is quite novelty.
This, however, is what will occur when
the new Prince of Monaco marries the
widowed Duchess of Richelieu, TO
whom he is engaged. The duchess is
a born Jewess, a daughter Of Michel
Heine, who was first cousin of the
poet. She is consequently a great
granddaughter of Heymann Heine, Of
whom the poet speaks in his me
oirs." The Heines have done well for
themselves in worldly things. They
are now wealthy physicians, bankers
and newspaper proprietors. One Of
the poets nieces is the wife of the Aus
trian Gen. Won Kadolitsch and leader
of fashion IN Vienna; another is the
Princess de la Rocca, and now cousin,
who has already acquired ducal cor
ornet, will shortly become the consort
of miniature reigning prince. ce.-Ber-

Old crockett's Ghost.

1t was merry party of young folks
who We're laughing and chatting on
old Farmer Browns wide veranda,
out south of Atlanta. Gay exchanges
of wit and many a good story went the
rounds.
While the merriment was at its
height, away across the shadowy fields
near dense skirt of woods appeared
a strange, ftful light 1t moved over
the tops of the dark trees, disappear
ing and returning as suddenly, and
soon it had the attention of the entire
party.

light, that marks the spot whar Crock

A pretty story of royal etiquette is
told by The Pail Mall Gazette. 1t
seems that all the royal children,
whether of Prussia, Austria or Bava-
ria, take equal delight in seeing the
soldiers present arms to them. When
the Princess Gisela, who is aunt to the
little Archduchess Elizabeth, was
years old, she used to make great
fuss every time her gloves were put
ON. She was told one day that IL she
went out without her gloves the sol
diers would not salute her. All Of a
sudden the little girl became most
eager to wear gloves. Then as soon
as she was out of doors she peered
about for soldiers. Directly she caught
sight of one she held up both her little
fat hands and cried, II got my gloves.

Tn. Queen and tn. Snow Children

There is an incident in the queens
life, well known to the gypsies, but
little known out of the charmed Ro-
many circle. One bitter winter day,
when the snow was lying thick all
over Windsor park, gypsy family
were crossing it, when the tent had to
be suddenly pitched, the pangs of
labor having overtaken the mother.
A few sticks were huiriedly gathered,
but there WAS hardly any time to
scrape away the snow and get the fire
lit before the gypsy woman gave birth
to twins The park keerers, of course,
came up and ordered the tent to be
taken off the ground.
But the birth of the twins in the
snow under her windows reached the
ears of her majesty, who at once sent
food and drink and clothing to the
wanderers. Amongst the presents
were some baby's WOODEN stockings
knit by her majesty's own hands, and
pair of blankets which but short
time before, It is said, had lain on a
state bed. Gypsies repeat this anec-
dote with great pride, and ''the socks
knitted by the queen of the Gorgias
are frequently referred to by them
when they speak of deeds of thought
full and timely charity. = Sheffield

Why Quakers Live Long.

1t is quite true that many Friends"
live long. i is equally true that GER
tain circumstances in their history
initiate against long life. Among
these latter intermarriage is perhaps
the most important of all The follow
ers of George Fox have been very
numerous, but until late years they
have been extremely exclusive. The
inevitable result of that has been ex-
tensive intermarriage throughout the
whole community. The consequences
of the frequency of intermarriage
have been, and are still, very evident.
Quakers, as class, are not muscu-
larly robust; many of them are de-
cidely anemic, and not few mentally
feeble. Yet, in spite of these practi-
cal and serious draw backs, the
Friends, as class, do more than their
proportion of the worlds serious busi-
ness, and they manage to attain to a
high average of longevity. Now, this is
exactly the kind of fact that true
medical science likes to get hold of
and to interrogate and learn from.
What is the reason, asks the sensible
man, why Quakers, with SO many un-
uOubtCu dlod1s diitdSCS, ttttlu W SUCH
a high averagesof success in all that
constitutes worthy life, and also sue
ceed in enjoying their success to an
exceptionally old agea
The reason, we are convinced, is to
be found in their quiet habits and dis
ciplined life. An ordinary doctor, or
even layman, would probably have
felt much more interest in the subject
at this point if we had been able to af
firm that the Quakeis owed their sue
cess and long life to certain drugs, as,
for example, to arsenic, phosphorus,
strychnia and the like; or, to certain
methods of feeding. as vegetarianism,
or meat eating, or fruit eating, or wine
drinking, or teetotalism, or smoking.
and SO on. But we submit that that
shows a want of real mental capacity
For what, after all, is the true impor-
tance of the subject2 Does it not con-
sist in the undoubted character of the
results2 The results are really the
things to be considered AS matter
of fact the Quakers are successful in
life. As matter of fact they do live
long. Then, surely true science will
not curl the lip of scorn because these
results are obtained by what may be
called natural and simple" processes,
instead of by elaborate preparations
and out of the way methods.-Hos

Not So Smart.

An uptown Scranton man thought
a great deal of his old mother cat for a
little while after he reached home the
other evening. He saw her carry a
dead English sparrow from the front
yard to the back of the house, and on
the back porch he found thirteen more
dead sparrows in a heap, The cat
dropped the last one on the pile, and
the man praised puss for her remark
able work. 1t tickled him so much
that he went right away and told his
nearest neighbor all about the cats
feat of catching fourteen sparrows in
one afternoon. His bliss was of short
duration, for the fact of the matter
was that the cat hadn't caught a single
one of the birds alive. The neighbor
to whom he was Dragging about the
cat had shot every one of the sparrows
from his window with a little rife,
and the birds had dropped into the
other mans yard. - Scranton Pa.)

Care of the Teeth.

An experienced dentist OF this city
said TO me the other day: "Tho best
dentists rarely advise the extraction OF
a tooth. In my practice the number
of teeth lost because Of decay would
not average three year. OF course,
il child inherits the small jaw OF the
mother and the large teeth OF the
father one or more teeth must often
be extracted TO make room for the
regulation Of the remainder. A pa
tient should not lose a tooth or a part
OF tooth if it can possibly be avoided.
If you have only root left. build upon
that root
But" my intelligent informant
went on TO say, great care should be
exercised in the matter OF artificial
crowns. for they should always be the
last resort. Oftentimes a dentist with
speciality will cut away a good. sound
tooth so as TO make anchorage Tor tne
artificial crown. The good tooth which
has been cut down will decay, and
the crown will be at best but tempo
rary; then, If the latter is to be re-
stored. more cutting Of the good tooth
again becomes necessary. Sometimes
a space is caused by the absence OF one
or more teeth, and on each side OF the
space there may be a sound tooth;
SONS dentists, blacksmiths they should
be called, will cut away part OF each
tooth in order TO anchor crowns, To
which a geld fixture bridging the space
Ia secured. OF course, 10 put a crown
of gold or porcelain on root is very
proper thiag to do.-Epoch.
