An Expensive InfirmitV.

I happened to be in a Broadway opti-
clans store and saw a good looking, we'll
dressed matron with a slip of a girl and
a small boy, all of whom wore spec
tacles. The lady gave some directions
about a pair of glasses, and when she
had gone [ asked the optician whether
defective vision is hereditary.
Rarely" said he. THAT lady has
four children, and all of them must wear
glasses. The fathers eyes are sound.
The mother and her children are af1ict-
ed with astigmatism, a defect of the
vision which is almost as rare as any,
thing that affiicts the human eyes. 1t
makes straight lines crooked and parallel
lines fade into one. Special glasses must
be made and ground to suit each person,
and sometimes the respective eyes. They
cost five dollars apiece too. So you see
a large family of children with astigna-
tism costs a good deal of money in
glasses alone. AS the children grow up
the range Of vision changes, they break
or lose their glasses oftener than adults.
which increases the expense."-New
York Herald.

The Shark Is a Slow Swimmer.

One i'll service nature has done the
shark, namely, that of placing a TRAN
gular fin on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach. Happily, the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to- be
aware of this popularity, for had he
been SO he would unquestionably aban-
don his habit of swimming close to the
surface of the water, and would, in that
case, be enabled to approach his victim
unobserved. The shark is a slow swim
mer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, LAS darts the dolphin
from the shark" but Byron was a poet,
and does not appear to have been a close
observer of the habits of inhabitants of
the water, or he would have known that
a shark would have DO more chance of
catching a dolphin than a sheep would
of Overhauling a hare. A shark will
keep mp with d sailing ship, but it is as
much as it a do to follow in the wake
of d fast steamer, and a torpedo boat
would be able 10 give it points.-London

THE DURHAM GLOBE proposes TO give
so,o tn an exhibition at the Worlds talr

other man or individual donates a penny.
Rut THE GLOBE hopes, and so 90 We
that there will be a great many more pen
mics in the form of substantial chechs
contributed for this purpose, ana ina
North Carolina will have an exhibit at
the Worlds fair that will do the STATE
credit. But how is this to be brought
ahout II occurs to The Citizen hat the
Governor would be the proper person 10
give the thing a start. \ powerful az
dress from him might awaken the peo-
ME to a full realization Of what North
Carolina must miss if it is not so gener-
ously represented ct Chicago as to at
tract the attention of a goodly percen-
tage of the visitors. Atthe present time
we are not going to anticipate the gov
ernor and point out the immense advan-
taccs that such an exhibition as that at
Chicago will be sure TO afford. We are
only going to remind the people OF
Asheville that it will be a curious COM
mentary on their good sense if they fail
to see what the furtheImOst nations of
the earth already see, and are acting
upon, that the fair at Chicago will GER
tainly be the greatest the world has ever
known-greatest not only as a show,
but as a means of making money, of ad.
ding to our population and to our
wealth.
1t will not be anticipating the governor
if we say that there should be an Ashe-
Vile exhibition whether there is one for
North Carolina or not, and it is also
proper and timely to remind all who are
interested-and who is not that much
more of delay means that we shall be
shut out altogether, Already the fair
managers have begun of necessity to re-
fuse more space to some foreign exhibit

to act upon-that the Worlds fair at
Chicago is an opportunity that comes but
few times in the life of any one genera
ton.

Nothing cleans soiled fur better than
benZine. Actresses immerse their wigs
in baths of this liquid with most excel
lent results. Buy the fluid at a paint
store, where ten cents will fill a quart
borhe, rather than at the druggists,
where the same amount will cost a quar-
ter. Wash the fur until the benzine re-
mains clear; the first two or three rounds

to throw the fluid into any receptacle
where by any chance a lighted match

Will They Do 1t?
Winston Sentinel

THE DURHAM DAILY GLOBE has started
a subscription to have North Carolina
represented at the Worlds fair. 1T heads
the list by a donation of $3.50 and asks
all North Carolinians to swell the amount.
Since the $25 900 appropriation (O by
the last General Assembly proves of no
avail, we feel warranted in saying that
ali loyal North Carolinians will ncO
age this effort and appropriate according
to their respective means.

LONDON IN
For Seventy Hours a Dense Fog Has Shut
Out Daylight.

LONDON, Dec. 24-This city is still
beneath a fog Of phenomenal %blackness
and thickness. For seventy hours has
London, to all intents and purposes,
been plunged in darkness. Throughout
the day the street lamps, to say nothing
of the lights within doors, have been
lighted and Link-BOys are making small
fortunes by plotting cabs and other We.
hicles through the streets by the aid of
torches or lanterns. Regular traffic and
trade is at a standstill, and navigation on
the river Thames has been completely
stopped. Many proprietors Of jewelry
stores and other such places have put up
their shutters until the fog goes away.
They are doing absolutely nothing and
fear the depredations of thieves. The
entire police force in the metropolis may
be said to have been on duty night and
day throughout the seventy hours of
black fog. A dispatch is sent that there
is no sign of the fog lifting, and the city
remains covered by the most dense pail
of fog within the reco lection of the
present generation of LOndoners.

an appeal to the American people through
the press for aid, should the reports prove
true. This letter and the secretarv's re.
