ufacturer recently. These materials
are made from patterns designed by
men who do nothing but study up new
things in neckties. There are in this
country from fifty to seventy-fve fac
tories and ten or twelve frst-class
makers. The latter usually secure ex-
elusive rights to certain styles of goods
from the makers by buying either the
entire stock offered to the American
market or a large portion of it. The sue
cess of making up these goods, though,
is just like chance in lottery.
Perhaps some year [ may hit on
some design that will become SO popu-
lar that all the other makers will be
forced to adopt it, but the next year
some one in Boston or Philadelphia
may make hit and / shall have to fol-
low him. There's never any telling
how necktie is going to take with the
public until it is on the market. There
its success depends upon who adopts it
first. If he happens to be a bowling
swell and on the right side of popular
favor that particular kind of necktie
will sell we'll"
''Are the styles of making up neck
ties originated abroad?'
'.Not now. They were until few
years ago, but now our styles are SUI
perior to the European, and they often
come over here for our patterns. How
ever, there is tendency for English
fashions for the fall"

neckties, men or women"
'Women. There are more than 1, POO
thus employed in this city alone. They

Or less money according to their ex-
pertness. A good finisher can make $8
or SO week. She takes a necktie
after it is put together and finishes
each detail perfectly. SO that it is ready
to box. The finishers must see that all
of this kind are exactly alike in point
of finish and makeup.
We have one girl who does nothing
but turn the bands of neckties, and she
makes $15 week. She turns twenty
five or thirty dozen bands day."
The cheap ware now flooding the
markets is composed of old styles made
of moor goods AS a. rule men show
little discrimination in purchasing
neckties. They look into window,
see tie that takes their fancy and then
rush in to buy it, never stopping to ask
the price Thus they are just as likely
to buy one of the cheap Kind that will

~ Interesting Collection from the Coro.
nado Islands.
The marine collection at the light
house has been enlarged by a yacht
load of sea urchins, abelones, starfish,
masses, eggs and seal skins which Harry
Israel, the son of the keeper, brought
I'm the other day from cruise around
the Coronado Islands. He was accom-
panied by Henry Gerrul, of Ballast
Point. and they remained a week, fish
Ing, collecting and hunting.
Israel said that he and Gerrul SCI
cured fifty hair-seals in one day. They
shot the large ones and killed the young
ones with clubs. There are three seal
rookeries on the rock points of the
west side of the west island and two on
the east island. Israeli who has OBJ
served their habits, says that they are
clannish, and that the seals of one
rookery never mix with the others
The females are covered with fine
hair, while that of the males is much
coarser. The color Of the young Is a
dark drab, but the old ones are brown
ish yellow. When the breeding season
10 over the sea-buils disappear and do
not return until the next spring.
Where they GO to is a mystery that has
never been explained. They swallow
quantity of small stones for ballast.
which remains in the false stomach Or
ballast bag" as the sailors call it,
until they return, when they spit them
out. Mrs Israel has a number of these
bucketful is about the quantity of stones
required to ballast an ordinary seal.
Mr.. Israel said the west island was CT
solid rock with d coating of loan on
the west side. 1t was there that they
found the mutton" birds, which bur-
row like mole in the ground and come
out only at night After it became
dark the explorers listened for the
whirr OF the birds, and when it came
they struck out at random with stones
and sticks, and when they heard some
thing futter on the rocks would know
that they had been successful. The
bird is a trifle larger than quail, and
has short stubby wings, resembling
those of a penguin. They are nearly
black with some white on the breast
and towards the tail. Their legs are
short and the beak is longer than the
Quairs. Their flesh is said to be pal
atable, but the eggs only were tried.
They are pullet-size and white, and
Israel said were the best sea-fowl eggs
he ever tasted. He brought number
Of them, and also the eggs of the gull
and shag.
In cave on the west island he found
a new kind of sea urchin, very beautiful
end numerous. Instead of the usual
purple and black colors it was brown
tsh red and was some four inches in di-
ameter. He also found an abelone the
size of brown bean, which is much
smaller than the least in the nest at the
lighthouse.
Mr.. Israers formula for tanning the
skin of hair-seals is to first soak them
in solution of alum and salt They
then must be tackled up against a fiat
surface with the inner side out. and
have to be scraped daily for ten days in
order to get off all the blubber. San

ASTlGMATISM EXPLAINED.
An Opticians Chat About Spectacles an,
Eyeglasses.


Eyeglasses.
4 Philadelphia optician: .People
wear spectacles great deal more than
formerly. This is because, no matter
what ails a persons eyes in the form
of defective vision, it can almost always
be remedied by the use of properly
fitted spectacles or eyeglasses. Near
sightedness was once the most preva-
lent complaint, but now astigmatism
has taken first place. A simple ex-
PLANTATION of astigmatism is this: Take
person who is affected by it and
place before him at distance of ten Or
fifteen feet card with five or six par
allel lines drawn on it. Turn the card
so that the lines are horizontal and
they will appear natural, turn the card
again, making the lines vertical Or
oblique. and it will produce an entirely
different effect. making the lines seem
farther or nearer apart or perhaps
blurred.
"Eye-glasses are most worn. For
mally spectacles held the lead, because
eyeglasses could not be gotten to fit
and were generally too narrow and did
not give the satisfactory results that
spectacles afford. An invention has
been patented, however, which pro-
vides for a different spring, setting the
glasses further apart and which has at
tached to it little springy piece of
cork. which is clamped to one nose
and which, without pinching, holds 1t
SO firmly that IL can not possibly be
shaken off. "-Jeweiers' Weekly.
