A RECENT application of aluminium to
the frames of eyeglasses has attracted
some attention. The weight of the
frame is almost imperceptible, yet the
lenses are softer than without rims. AS
the amount of aluminium used is ex.
tremely small, the difference in price
between such glasses and those with
steel frames is trifling. The fact that
aluminium does not corrode especially
recommends it for this use.

HOW IT ORIGINATED.
Some Scraps of History Pertinent to the
Great Event.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The pictur-
esque and thoroughly republican prac-
tice of taking the oath of Office and
delivering the inaugural address in the
open air in the presence Of the people
was begun by Zachary Taylor in lS40.
Previously the inaugural address had
been read in the senate chamber. JEFF
ferson was the first president to be in
augurated in Washington city. Wash
ington read his inaugural in New York;
Adams in Philadelphia. Washington'S
first inaugural was 300 words in length;
his second only 1874.
John Adams inaugural was 2.3CO
words long; Jefferson's, 2,l0O; Madison's,
1,100, on both occasions; MOnroe's, $500
and 4,4O0; j. Q. Adams, $500; Andrew
Jacksons first and second each l,lOO;
Van Buren, employed $500 words and
William Henry Harrison, the most
voluminous of them all, $500.
John Tyler, in entering upon the
duties of president, after the death of
Harrison, addressed his inaugural Of
1000 words to the public and published
| it in the newspapers, congress not being
in session. Polk employed nearly 5000
words; Taylor, 1000 Fillmore simply
| announced the death of Taylor in a mes
| sage of 260 words, sent into each house
| of congress, and delivered no inaugural
| Franklin Pierce's address was 5000
| words; Lincoln's, on his first election,
| $500; on his second only $50 Johnson
| took up the reins Of government after
| LincOln's death in a brief message Of
| $50 words. Grants first inaugural was
LOO words long; his second. 1900
Hayes employed 2,4OO words Garfield,
$500; Arthur followed the customer of
| other vice presidents in succeeding to
the presidency through death. by giving
only very short address of 400 words.
| Clevelsnd's first inaugural, which he
| committed to memory, was 800 words.
l Benjamin Harrison entered Office with
/ an inaugural of $500 words. The in.
| ttallation of every president, elected as
Fuch by the people, has been attended
! by more or less of a civic or military
perade, the firing of cannon and other
! manifestations of public rejoicing. The
| story that Jefferson rode unattended to
the Capitol and hitched his horse to the
fence, is simply one of three contradict,
ory accounts Of the event, and the one
| bearing least credence. Contemporary
newspaper reports represent him as
being escorted from his lodgings to the
Capitol by body Of militia and Pre-.
cession of citizens.
In the matter of weather the inaugura
tiOns of William Henry harrison. Polk,
Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and Benjamin
| Harrison alone were marTed by storm,
and rain. All the other presidents were
favored with sunshine; some even with
balmy warmth. Thus the popular idea
as to the prevailing inclemency of March
weather in Washington does not seem tC
be borne out by the facts. The excep.
tions, however, have been of grea,
severity. At Grants second inaugurs,

Brief Sketch of the Man wlro Is to he
Secretary of State.
Walter Quinton Gresham, the premier
Of the Cleveland administration, is now
61 years of age. March has been an i'm
portant month in his career, for he was
born at Lanesville, Ind, March II, 1882,
and in March, 1893 he assumes the Office
Of secretary of state, the highest place in
the gift of the president 1t is odd, too,
that he was born in Harrison county, and
that sixty years later he should refuse 60
support for president the grandson OF the
man from whom the county of his birth
took its name. Mr.. Gresham was born on
farm in rather wild locality, and when
he was only years old Sheriff Gresham,
his father, was killed by n desperadO.
There were six children for the widow to
support, but young Gresham managed to
get good education and became a law
yer When the Republican party was
organized, he joined It and took up the
anti-savery cause.
When the war broke out, Gresham led n
company of home guards into the Federal
service, and for gallant services rose grad
ually in rank until he was made a briga-
dier general at Vicksburg. In July, 1864,
he was disabled by minnie ball which
broke his leg rs he was leading charge.
General Grant made him United States
district judge and he served for twelve
years, during which time not n single de-
cision was reversed by the United States
supreme court. Judge Gresham received
many honors at President Arthur's hands.
He was successfully made postmaster
general, secretary of the treasury and
United States judge for the Seventeenth
judicial district at Chicago. In October,
1892, after be had refused the Peoples
party nomination for president, he an
nounced that ne would vote for Cleveland
and added, 81 think that a Republican can
