A certain liquor dealer, a hard head
ed old Scot, grew rich in the trade.
After he had grown rich the old man
built himself a fine house, limestone
mansion on the hill, with a park
around it, with Conservatives, stables
and outbuildings-in a word, a palace.
One day the old Scot rode in the omni-
bus past his fine house. A temperance
man pointed up at the grand edi1ce
and said, with a sheer, 1T was the
whisky built that, wasn't it?' INA, ma,

THE MOTORISTS JOYS.
A Tribute to the Beauty and the De-
lights of the Road

lights of the Road.
To 'see life steadily and see it
whole" was Matthew Arnolds ethical
aspiration. That is how the motoriSt
sees the land he traverses. His teach
er is the road. A road is the most in
teresting and instructive thing on
earth. 1t is the chain that binds a
country together; it is the artery along
which the lifeblood of a people flows;
it is the story of their past, the exhibit
ton of their present, the presage of
their future; it is the book of human-
ity, with a picture and a story and a
lesson on every page. The history of
Rome is in her roads. Once know and
love the road and you can tolerate no
other transit. Too fast? Read the
wonderful poem w. e. Henley wrote
after friends motor car had revealed
England to him:
Speed and the range of God S skies,
Distances changes, surprises;
Speed and the hug of Gods winds,
Beautiful, whimsical, wonderful.
Read the whole of this ''imperishable
poem as William Archer calls it q
had the privilege of giving it to the
public, and never talk to me again of
''going too fast to see anything" 1t
is just because we go fast that we see
every thing.-Henry Norman, NJ. p, in

THE FIRST SPECTACLES.
They Were Made In Italy In the
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 concave glass in watching
the gladiatorial games, and many other
historical men of his day were depend
ent on similar devices for frightening
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 a 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 a means of aiding bad eyes, I'M
til the fashion of wearing merely for
the sake of wearing them sprang up in
Spain. 1t 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.

QUAINT PRESENTS.
Odd Wedding Gifts That Have Been
Received by Celebrities.

Celebrities are often the recipients of
quaint presents. For instance on the
marriage of Queen Victoria the farm
ers of East and West Pennard, Somer-
Eetshire. wishing to show their loyalty,
manufactured from the milk of 80
cows an immense cheese nine feet in
circumference. The gift was gracious
~ accepted and was stored at Buck
ingham palace, where it would I'M
doubtedly have found its way to the
royal table had not its donors wished
to exhibit it as an advertisement.
Their request was granted, but after
it had been exhibited and the makers
would have returned it her majesty
signified that owing to the altered con-
ditions she could not accept it as a
gift
An equally homely gift was made to
the late King Charles of Wurttemburg
on the morning of his marriage to
| Princess Olga of Russia. A peasant
woman sent him a pair of trousers of
her own design, with a note expressing
| the hope that they might be found a
! better cut and fit than those which she
had last had the honor of seeing his
majesty wear.
The Italian singer, Signor Mario, in
| spired hopeless passion in the hearts
of so many women that at the time of
his wedding some of this affection
found expression in various strange
gifts. One was in the shape of a
cushion stuffed with tresses from the
heads Of many of his hopeless admir-
ers. Another was from lady in Mu-
mich who had had one of her teeth set
in a scarfpin surrounded with pearls
and emeralds. In an accompanying
note she expressed the hope that by
sometimes wearing the gift he might
be reminded of his unknown worship
