of the membership. which is intended
to be representative of all nationalities

the Platt amendment.

WHAT WILL EUROPE SAY?

This will not be an altogether pleas
ant summer for Americans in Europe"
says the New York Tribune. In-urs
ance scandals, followed up by beef
scandals, have become the theme of
discussion abroad, and the American
visitor will be likely to hear some re-
marks about American ways and Amer
lean methods which will not soothe his
pride.
There is everything in the point of
view While the non-traveled portion
of the community are concerned about
the poisoning of those of us who remain
at home, the great metropolitan news
paper which knows intimately the feel
ings of those Americans who hurl
themselves across the pond with the
same abandon that we board an inter-
urban car, is taken up with considera-
to the travelled American this year.
1t is pretty sad to think that when
the great American millionaire visits
Old London he is to be hailed with
cries of American pig" tainted money
and worse ham," Our millionaires are
sensitive and they will not stand it..
If the thing becomes too personal they
are likely to boycott Europe, and take
their outings Sahara. We have no
doubt the New York Tribune will faith
fully note the European pulse and be
quick to inform this throbbing country
whether the effete civilizations are dis
posed to rub it in or whether, in con-
sideration Of the liberality of our tips,
they are willing to drop the whole dis
cussion.

of boys in proportion to the whole
number of graduates was probably
larger this year than the average iV
years past. One year there was only
one boy in a high school graduating
class of thirteen. For years the high
school has been almost a girls semin-
airy and in the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades of the common schools
girls have outnumbered the boys two
to one, if not in a greater ratio.
The introduction of manual training
in the eighth grade of the common
schools during the year just closed has
undoubtedly helped some in holding
the boys in school, but the work has
not been extensive enough. 1t should

THE FIRST SPECTACLES.
They Were Made In Italy In thu
Thirteenth Century.

They Were Made In Italy In the
Thirteenth Century.
Spectacles were invented late in the
thirteenth century. The use Of glass
to aid the sight Of defective eyes is,
however, much older. Nero looked
through a concave glass In watching
the gladiatorial games, and many other
historical men Of his day were depend
ent on similar devices for lengthening
their sight.
Till the latter part Of the thirteenth
century only the single glass was In
use. In 1890 the double glass was In
vented, and in the fourteenth century
spectacles were used quite frequently
by the very wealthy and high born, al
though they were still so scarce that
they were bequeathed in will with all
the elaborate care that marked the dis
position of feudal estate. The first
spectacles were made in Italy.
Somewhat later the manufacture OF
cheaper glasses sprang up In Holland,
and it spread late in the fourteenth
century to Germany, Nuremberg and
Rathenow acquired fame for their
glasses between 1890 and 1900.
For many years glasses were used
only as q means Of aiding bad eyes, un-
til the fashion of wearing merely for
the sake Of wearing them, sprang up In
Spain. It spread rapidly to the rest OF
the continent and brought about the
Transformation Of the old thirteenth
century spectacles into eyeglasses and
eventually into the monocle.
