Cinnamon Chew Gum.

Seated together in Broadway car
were Eve Cinnamon, all chewing gum
1t was evidently their first experience
with this deadly form of dissipation, but
they were enjoying it immensely. They
chewed and champed together and chat
tered away in their native tongue in the
most animated fashion.
The other passengers in the car were
much interested, and watched the mis-
guided Cinnamon intently. The All
Sins were as oblivious to the other pas
sengers as if they were in the fantasy
of an opium dream.
By their gestures aud gibberish they
made it plain to the spectators that they
were discussing the deep my steries Of
the slot machine from which they had
extracted the gum. They also discussed
the gum itself. They would hold it be
tween their teeth, stretch it out until il
would break, thrust it back into theil
mouths, chewing and chattering all the
time.
A ministerial looking man sitting op
posite made IA gesture of disapproval IL
one of the Cinnamon. A smile stole int
the slant eyes of the Celestial as h,
stopped chewing long enough to remark

spectacles in Art.

Among the figures forming part of the
architectural decorations of the interior
of the chapel Of Henry VII is one Of a
saint reading book and wearing a pair
of spectacles without side strips, and Of
the form that used to be distinguished
by the name goggles. Such early eye
glasses were circular in form and were
fixed in rims of leather, connected by a
waist or curved piece of the same mate
rial. Leather has elasticity enough to
hold the glasses in position on the nose.
Such pair, probably not later than
the time Of Charles II Of England, is pre-
served in the British museum. These
leather trimmed goggles appear to have
been succeeded by glasses of the same
shape with rims of tortoise shell and 9
steel. waist. An example of the early
part of the last century, in the origina
black fishskin case, shows that there
was difficulty in attaching the waist t.
the rim with the requisite firmness
Hence arose the rims with rigid wais
and side pieces for keeping the specta
cles in position.
But they were heavy and clumsy
whether in tortoise shell or horn, ant
the difficulty remained of making reli
able hinge in such brittle material. Thi,
seems to have brought into existenc,
the heavy gold, silver and steel specta
cles of our grandfathers. = Jewellers

While looking over the latest arrivals
in rubies, sapphires and diamonds in an
up town jewelry store the other day, a
customer was somewhat startled to no
tice stylish blond woman ask the
clerk at the counter for silver footbath.
The loiterer watched interestedly the
proceedings which followed, and saw the
clerk emerge from the farther end of the
store with a silver bowl, rather oblong
and perhaps ten inches in depth. He
placed it on the counter, and proceeded
to explain the beauties and comfort of 1T.
"Of course" said he, ''they are quite

word must be said about tho Scented

which Burton left unpublished, and which his
widow deliberately burned. Lady Burton has
been subjected to good deal OF reprobatlon

an act which sho deemed best for her hus-
bands m emory. was twisted into the assertion
that Burton had been engaged on most
beautiful and scientific work for thirty years,
and had finished 1t all but the last page; that
It contained gems Of science and was full OF
transcendental Oriental poetry, and that his
widow had burned 1t the day after his death.

the "Perlumod Garden" by an Arab OF the
sixth century. which has been very imper-
fectly rendered into French. This work Is
a specimen OF Arabian erotology. sort Of

unreasonable fear WAS that although tho

of those who bought 1t might tire OF 1t In time
and sell It. so that by degrees 1t would de-
