WHY G-HANDLED EYEGLASSES RAGE.
Do you know the reason long handled
eye glasses sprang into favor with the
ultra fashionable2 Well, you know
ladies lace, don't you4 Yes, everybody
knows that, and those who know it
from experience know it to their very
great discomfort; for, with the sleeves
made as tight as the skin, and the en-
tire dress waist as close fitting as com
pressed flesh and bones will permit, to
lift the hand up to the level of the eyes,
if it is possibility (and sometimes it is
noD, is certainly dangerous thing to
Advantageous because the tightly
strained silk of the dress may split.
Besides, it is a painful excrtion. The
expansion Of certain muscles in an ele-
waited position of the arm and shoulder
beyond the narrow limits of the dress is
positive torture. Hence the long handle
to eye glass and opera glass was per-
feet boon. You will always see the
slim waist, tight sleeves and long
handled eye glass together. That slen-
der waist is also aaswerablc for an extra
layer of paint Or powder, for it makes
the face red, not flushed, but decid-

TIE LADIES CLAIMED THE STREETS.
The ladies of Sorrento, Fla, have
taken municipal affairs into their own
hands. The streets were dirty, the
land along the railroad track was
slogged, the town was disgrace, as
they all declared. So the ladies' me
and organized and the men were
1rummed into service. On certain
morning at z o'clock, they all met at
the schoolhouse with shovels, rakes,
wheelbarrows and hoes. Stumps were
burned, holes filled up, and streets were
put in order, men and women working
side by side. Grelt regard was had for
The effect TO be produced on passing
travellers who looked from their car
windows, and the town was put in
special order on that side. Just before
noon the ladies retired and prepared
lunch in the schoolhousc, and then reso-
buttons were taken. What had turned
out to be jolly affair was to be hence
forth regarded as a sacred public duty.
They were to meet every second Satur-
day till the town was in perfect order,
neighbors in the district were to be
asked to cooperate and nothing was to
be left undone, not only for Sorrento
but 'that other villages might take
plttern and arise to clean and beautify
their Streets" These working days are
to be hereafter known as Ladies Field
DAYS.

FAN OF HUMAN HAIR.

There is a curiosity up town for the
ladies. 1t is a fan valued at $25O.
Even after a close inspection one would
think that the sticks are fringed with
the most filmy aud costly lace. But
what appears to be lace is human hair.
1t is split and woven so finely that it
mods and waves before the breath like
swans down. Whether any of New
York's matrons or maidcns care to flaunt
such a significant ornament in the noun
tains or at the seaside this season IS quite
another question.

The longest pendulum on this conti-
nent swings in the chronological school
At Atlanta, Ga. II is heavy, pear
shaped piece OF iron. attached TO a
brass wire forty-two feet long. The
upper end Of the wire is pivoted in

Of steel plate, so as to cause the least
possible friction. The swinging of the
pendulum gradually describes circle

is large circle divided into twenty
four parts, of fifteen degrees each, to
correspond with the hours OF the day.
The north pole is placed directly under
the pendulum, and the meridians of
longitude meet there. The parallels OF
latitude make smaller circles inside
the first. Dir. j. 5, Hopkins, president
Of the school, who made and put up

recton taken by the sun and opposite

pendulum, not being directly over the
axis of the earth, does not move in
exactly the same time as the sun, but
falls behind some hours day. II

Goethe and His Doppe!ganger.

Goethe, when Young man, was
resting by the roadside on one occa-
sion when he observed the figure Of a
middle-aged gentleman approaching
him on horseback There was some-
thing in the features and general APP
peaance of the stranger that attracted
his attention in marked degree, for
the face and figure seemed TO be his
own, although older and more devel-
oped. In their costume, however,
there was no similarity whatever, for
while the stranger wore the robes Of a
councillor Of state, the young poet
wore the ordinary dress of civil life.
In the course of years afterward aud
when the circumstance had been
nearly forgotten 1t was brought before
him again in a most startling manner,
