boiler explosion took place on the 7th, at

left in it.

The science of refraction was not then

to fit the kings eyes at one effort; in-

what to grind, the artisans became rich,
not only in English pounds, but in ex.

The way was thus paved for the al

ORIGIN OF EYEGLASSES.
They Were the Find of King Charles II
of England.

of England.
The study of the eye is one of the most
intricate known to science, and yet one
of the most enchanting and absorbingly
Interesting to those who pursue it with
any degree of success. New beauties
and wonders are developed every day
as the oculist progresses with his
studies.
Now that the study has advanced far
it is interesting to look back upon the
work which has been accomplished
a nero start in the study. The time
was when there was no aid to defective
vision, and very few who now use
glasses ever dreamed that their dis
covery was due to an accident and the
fact that q crowned head was near
sighted.
When young Charles Stuart, after
ward Charles II. of England, escaped
to France with his head, he became
pensioner Of the great Louis XIV.
While living his indolent and dissolute
life in Cologne he met On expert artisan
in glass, and accidentally looking
through a small lens belonging to this
workman he found that it greatly aid
ed his very imperfect vision. The young
prince was born with myopic astigma-
tism irregular near-sight). By
mathematical calculation, based upon
the crude and heavy lenses he is said
to have finally worn, which are now
in the British museum, his vision was
found to be about one-twentieth of nor
NAL sight.
He and the artisan were so impressed
with the possibilities as revealed by the
rough lens he had tried in the workshop
that the latter from that day gave his
whole time, and the former all the
thought he was capable of exercising,
to this work.
The name of this Frenchman Is not
known, although he was probably the
first optician. When Charles was re-
called to England and crowned as
Charles II. he took this artisan with
him, together with several others that
he had found in France.
After establishing his London work.
shop without regard to cost he ram
sacked all Europe for still other artisans
In glass, until he had secured about 20.
1t is said that as many as 5000 lenses
were made in this shop for the kings
eyes before he got what he wished and
what gave him perfect vision. His gay
and dissolute court at once followed his
example by attempting TO wear glasses,
without regard to their necessity, but
as a majority Of them were young, and
had not overworked their eyes as stu
dents do in this age, glasses were as a
rule unnecessary.
The fashion originated from neces-
fty, and the king met 1t through his

THE WOMEN DID IT.

Vote Against a Mayorality Candidate
Because He Tilted His Fiancee.
Kansas City, March Dob. L. Short,
of KANSAS City, Kan, has learned
that it does not pay to be tickle in
love. Mr.. Short is city clerk and was
candidate before the Republican
primaries for the nomination for ma
yor. But Mr.. Short had a record, and
this record took him down to defeat.
For twelve years he kept COM
pany" with Miss Sarah Pearsons, and
had been engaged to marry her. They
were to have welded last fall. One
day Miss Pearsons was startled by a
notice in a Kansas City paper that Mr..
Short had been married the evening
before to Mrs. Grace Foreston, a di-
vOrcee. 1t was this that led to Mr..
Shorts undoing. Women vote at
Kansas municipal elections and at her
primaries as well, and when they
heard Miss Pearsons' story they de-
clared war on Shorts candidacy.
Miss Pearsons' teacher friends were
especially active. Every hack in town
was engaged in bringing women to
vote against Short. When the returns
came in great shout went up in hun
dreds of households for Short, the
mems candidate" was beaten. and
the jilting of Miss Pearsons was
avenged.

BRADY is NOT SATISFIED.
Says Corbett Can and Will Whip the

San Francisco, Cal, March 90
Billy Brady still seems determined to
find some way of making Fitzsim-
mons give his late opponent one more
chance before he puts into effect his
announced retirement from the bust
ness.
Its all very we'll for Fitzsimmons
to say he will never fight again." said
Brady. You will remember Corbett
made such statement several times
and yet he was dragged into battle by
Fitzsimmons. Well, now that our man
is the under dog, we propose to reverse
matters and make the foreigner give
Jim another fight, whether he wants
to or not. OF course, Fitzsimmons
will now be able to stave this thing
off for a year if he wants to, but after
that public opinion will get too hot for
him and he will either have to fight
or get out of the country. If Jim
takes my advice he will Immediately
begin to get public sympathy to his
side by accepting offers from Maher,
Goddard and Sharkey or any other old
dub who is after fight. He can lick
three or four fellows Of that calibre in
a month and then he will be in a pos
ition to demand satisfaction from
Fitzsimmons"

PINGREE'S SITUATION.
Supreme Court Says He Can't Be
Mayor and Governor at the
Same Time.

Detroit. Mich. March 20.-By a
unanimous vote the Michigan Su-
preme court decided today in the case
of d. W. II. Moreland to compel Gov
Mayor Pingree to vacate the office of
mayor of Detroit, declaring the office
of mayor of Detroit vacant and or
dered an election to be held April 5,
to fill the Office. Gov. Pingree was at
Ann Arbor when informed of
the courts decision, but would not
definitely commit himself as to
whether he would resign as governor
of Michigan and run for mayor again
but he declared that the people had
elected him mayor to right several
things which he might do. The city
conventions of both Democratic and
Republican parties for nomination of
mayor will be held today and the
probability is that Governor-Mayor
Pingree's name will be presented at
the Republican gathering and he again
be candidate for the Office, in which
case he will likely resign as governor
of Michigan. .

CURES RHEUMATISM BYFASTINo
Odd Treatment Adopted by Sufferer
I'm OREGON.

John Lynch has just broken a ten
days fast, during which time he has
taken nothing but cold water. Lynch
resides In the suburbs of Eugene, Ore,
nnd has been q sufferer from infam-
matory rheumatism for eight years. He
exhausted the resources of the medical
fraternity, having received treatment
from the best physicians of Portland
and San Francisco, and, discouraged at
last, he restorted to scientific works.
Somehow he got the idea of fasting and
several months ago he tasted "a hours,
and has now Just finished his fifth
fast.
During the past ten days he has not
taken bit of food Of any description,
but he drank about quart of cold wa
ter daily in small sips. For the first
six days he suffered the pangs Of hun
ger. Afterward food placed before him
would not be noticed and he had no de-
sire to eat. He did not suffer mentally,
but after the first few days suffered
some physically. He was greatly re-
duced in flesh when he began to fast,
but was up and walked about each day
during the fast. After the first few
days he was restless and nervous at
night, but rested well in the daytime.
He has been greatly reduced in flesh,
but says he could have tasted many
days longer before being Frustrated.
When he ended his fast a small
quantity of cornmeal was burnt to car
bon, then made into cruel and about
three spoonfuls taken, together with a
small quantity of tomato juice. Pre-
yjous to eating the patient sucked the
juice of q lemon. The stomach, though
inactive for so long, Immediately began
performing regular functions and the
patient soon felt well. So far as cure
goes the rheumatism has left his sys-
tenn except in one knee, and Lynch has
great faith in the cure. II any symp-
toms remain otter few days he says
he will enter upon another fast
