ORNAMENTAL PRESIDENT.
France's Chief Magistrnse Ii Regu-
lated in All of His Movements
by Etiquette.

If under the French constitution
there is no provision permitting the
president of the republic to be useful,
ample opportunity is afforded him to be
ornamental. The treasury places at
the disposal of the pref ident a yearly
allowance of $3.50, 600, all told, and he
lives in the palace of the Elysee. Be
sides, he is entitled to get his vegetables
and flowers from the palace gardens Of
Versailles and Fontainebleau, and to
ride and hunt in the royal forests. The
details of the presidents daily life are
dictated by an official body known as lie
protocol. It is the gentlemen of le
protocol, presided over by a sort of Off
cial Ward McAllister, who say when
the president shall wear frock and
when dress coat. when he shall don
the grand Gordon OF the Legion OF
Honor, and when the simple rosette

DEwEY's SERVICE SWORD.
Bit of Steel Two Feet Long for which
$1,000 Was Of

A bit of steel a little more than two
feet in length has been the attraction
for some time for the patrons OF fash

the army and navy, writes N-shing-
ton CORES pondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. Though very plain and in
significant in itself, ii is fascinating
md important as having for long beer
the companion of the most notable and
popular hero of the late war with SPAN
Admiral Dewey, having been Tor many
years a patron of this establishment,
left his sword there to have its hanalo
yilded, and the tailors were allowed tC
please their patrons by exhibiting II L
them. Many are the offers that nav
been made for its purchase. In this

ago one gentleman offered $500 for IT..
The makers OF uniforms, etc. laughed
and remarked that the person would
have to raise the ante several times
to be up to the figures of other would
be buyers of the famous weapon. y
gentleman who overheard the offer OF
$500 declared himself for $1,000, and
still another who was present counted

offers, as if TO say there was not money

EYEGLASSES AND WHY.
Not IN Evidence of Degenera-
ton of the Eyes.

The question is often asked. particu-
larly by those who can recall the Gus
toms and experiences Of Is years ago:
':Why do so many persons nowadays
wear glasses?" The answer is easy;
1.-The increase in the number - spec
tacles worn is not to be regarded as an
evidence of modern degeneration OF the
eyes. but rather that long-felt ne
cessity has been met" For il should
be remembered that within the past
quarter of a century much has been
learned about the value OF glasses, and
the range of their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended.
OF course, the eyes need more help now
than formerly, as the amount of work
they are required to do is much greater
than at any previous period in the
worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions of its class
save the labor of the hands only to add
to that required of the eyes, says Lip
pincott's.
New employments, new amusements
and new fashions are continually being
introduced to increase the eXactions laid
upon these sensitive and delicate or
gans. The steady decrease of illiteracy,
together with the general cheapness of
literature and a spread OF a taste for it,
the enormous circulation of novels,
magazines and newspapers. the ever-in-
creasing use of artificial illumination,
all combine to overtaX the eyes and to
weaken or possibly destroy the sight
unless the required aid and protection
be supplied through every means at our
disposal. Thus it happens that the
sometime luxury of properly adjusted
glasses has come to be recognized and
understood by very many of the present
generation as one of the real necessi-
ties of their lives.
