The fact that it is reported from Eng
land that Tammanys late chief. Mr.
Richard Croker, has taken TO wearing
monocle. or single eyeglass, recalls the
origin OF this article of many English
mems wearing apparel, which is very
often an aHectatiOn. The single eye
glass found it's inception in the British
hunting field. and was the invention of
a fox hunter, who had to wear glasses
because he was shOrt-sighted. The
glasses were all right when riding in the
field but when it came 10 taking
hedge or water jump they had to be
removed, so that the wearer could get
a nearer view. He evolved the scheme
Of a single glass attached to his coat
lapel by a cord. and held in the eye
simply by the muscles. 1t answered
every purpose for which glasses are
needed. and when approaching a fence
all the hunter had to do was to relax
the muscles and let the glass fall re-
placing il in the eye when the obstacle
was cleared. The glass looked peculiar
ly sporty" and It was soon taken up
by the younger hunting set. and from
them spread over the country until il
has become a fad of supposedly we'll
dressed men. especially military men
and diplomats, where, OF course, its
wearing is largely affectadon.

"NOT YET BUT SOON."

Hap Ward, of the old team of Ward & Vokes, was in Waterbury at Polls last evening, with his clever wife, Lucy Daily, and a corking good company of singers and dancers and comedians in general. The presenta- tion is called "a comedy cackle in two lays" and it cackles all right and bristles with fun in every feat ure. The songs were bright and catchy and the dressing and marches of the chorus ladies were spick and span and up to date in each particu- lar. The comedians, each one created a special interest in his individual role, while Ward himself was bunch of good things. Lucy Daly seemed to be even better than ever and like old oYine improves, with age.~ Back in the old Casino days in this city; when she was scarcely out of short dresses, she was a popular favorite, with her sis- ter, Margaret, now the wife of the former partner of Ward. She was just as full of fun and forlic last nightas she used to be in those days of her kindergarten stage life. The stage settings were beautiful, the plot was unique and the comedy as g
 whole was appetizing and pleasing.

The scenes are laid in the far west, act I being at Seattle, act II on board a boat en route for the Klondyke and act III at the Frozen Dog tavern ill Dawson City. Of course it Ss a satire, but much of the western atmosphere is truthfnlly depicted and gives an idea of the high jinks indulged in by the gold seekers, especially when a ten- derfoot strikes town.

LITERARY WORK AND WoMEN's
 LOOKS.
New York.

Today. when so many women make a business of writing, it may well be asked. Does literary work injure the looks?" Happily the answer to that question is No" True, George Eliot was a woman who was exceedingly plain, and her face got stronger and plainer with the advance of years. Other women with strong. masculine type of face could also be mentioned, but as they are alive naming names" would be inadmissible. There is little doubt. however that a certain amount
 of brain work is good for woman's looks. It introduces an expression of thought into her face. Thought pre- supposes the existence of brains. and
 brains give lightness and vivacity to the expression-something perhaps,
 indefnable. but nevertheless a very
 definite and pleasing expression which delightful in itself, is always allurtna and attractive to man
 And when all is said and done, in spite of what the cynics may say. in spite of what the soured may urge, in
 spite of the repression which necessity may enforce. the attraction of woman i for man and conversely of man for woe man is the vital. supreme and overs whelming force in the world. It was. 1 it is. it always will be. and don't let any one persuade you to the contrary.

A WHALES MOUTH.
The Grove of Twelve Foot Quills That
 Fills the Cavern.

The Grove of Twelve Foot QuilIs That
 Fills the Cavern.
 The rules for eating accredited to Gladstone and Fletcher, which requir- ed thirty-two, more or less, chews to each mouthful, were never meant for the true whale. It has no teeth, and it swallows it's food whole, catching it in the baleen, or strips of "whalebone," which depend from the sides of it's mouth. If whale saw the whale bones that womankind are accustomed to using in their waists he would never recognize them as part of his ali mentary system, they are so small. In the form in which they would be fa- miliar to him they would be ten or twelve feet long and look like giant brushes, with handle ten inches wide at the end
 One might wonder how any animal could close it's mouth with grove of twelve foot quills sticking out of the roof. When the mouth closes the slabs of baleen lie fiat in grooves. When the mouth opens the slabs spring forward, completely filling the cavern. One whale may have as many as 700 in it's mouth. Sometimes the weight of this giant mouth fringe Is ton, and the contents of the mouth of one whale taken in Bering sea on Oct. 20, 1883 weighed 3,100 pounds, or a ton and a half.-New York Tribune.
