Why We Wear Glasses.

Mans eyes nj rest are far focused
will make no effort when seeing the
moon or earthly horizons Birds and
fishes eyes at rest are near focused
will make no effort when looking at
nearby worms and minnows. Mans
elastic lenses are under constant fiat
tening compression. Imagine a rub.
Der ball OF fiattened convex lenslike
shape laid In between two disks of
canvas and the uniting edges Of these
cloths stretched to ring. They would
fiatten the rubber. and II relaxed II
would thicken by Its own elasticity.
The thicker the lens the shorter Its
focus. For reading or threading n
needle we relax the tension on the lens
by contracting ring Of muscle sur
rounding each lens and then walt for
the lenses 10 thicken through their
elasticity. In fish the lens Is set
against the cornea approximately,
short focus. and when It wants to see
whether the shadowy object some feet
away Is n shark or log It pulls the
entire round lens toward the rctlna
and gets as clear vision as possible
Now we soc why so many human
beings need "spectacles" as they grow
old-the elasticity of the lenses Is
gradually lost. just as II Is In rubber.

Fine Old Spanish EmsraIds.

"Fine old Spanish emeralds" Is q
phrase which means something quite
different from what It seems to imply.
There never was an emerald mined In
Spain. but after the conquest Of Peru
the conquerors brought home great
quantities OF loot. Of which emeralds
formed an important part. In this
way the finest emeralds came into
possession Of the old Spanish families,
and as very few had been seen in
Europe previous TO that time all the
best stones soon became classed as
fine old Spanish emeralds. Today the
expression still applies to the best
emeralds Of any source.

The Finer Nails.

In days when superstition was more
prevalent than 1t Is now the shape and
appearance OF the finger nails were
considered TO have reference 10 ones
destiny. To learn the message OF the
finger nails Il was necessary TO rub
them over with compound Of wax
and SCOT and then TO hold them so that
the sunlight fell fully on them. Then
on the horny. transparent substance
certain signs and characters were sup
posed to appear. from which the future
could be interpreted. Persons. too. hav-
Ing certain kinds OF nails were credited
with the possession OF certain charac-
teristics. Thus man with red and
spotted nails was supposed to have n
hot temper. while pale. lead colored
nails were considered TO denote mel
ancholy temperament Narrow nails
were supposed to betray ambition and
quarrelsome nature. while round
shaped nails were the distinguishing
marks OF lovers OF knowledge and peo
pie Of liberal sentiment. conceited.
narrow minded and obstinate folk were
supposed TO have small nails. indolent
people fieshy nails and those OF gen

HOW TO CURE RHEUMA TISM.
Il 10 An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be FORM
ed in excessive quantities Rheumatism
is an internal disease and requires an
internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure. affords only
temporary relief at best. causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fibre of rotten
wood.
Science has at last discovered per.
feet and complete cure. which is called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds Of
cases, it has effected the most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide ''gets at the joints from the in
side," sweeps the poisons out of the
system, tones up the stomach, regulates
the liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide "strikes the
root of the disease and removes its
cause" This splendid remedy is sold

A BAD Chance.

While holding term Of court at
Augusta once Judge Walton sentenced

ROTTEN COTTON GLOVES.
The Origin Of q One Time Popular
Slang Phrase.


The origin OF "rotten cotton gloves"
phrase which for some years be-
longed TO the slang OF England and
America. Is worth relating. At time
when John lie Hay was playing at the
Prince of Wales he was command
ed" to give his ventriloquial perform
ance at n birthday entertainment ut
Sandringham.
His two figures, the usual squeaky
old lady and the usual rude old man,
had been newly dressed for the occa-
sion. that their clothes might not suf-
fer too keenly by comparison with the
rich surroundings. But when Mr.. lie
Hay had placed them In position and
was about to begin his "show" he
found to his disgust that his costumer
had forgotten to change the old mans
dirty cotton gloves for pair Of new
kids.
The tone of shabbiness this gave to
the male figure was too conspicuous
TO be ignored by poor Mr.. lie Hay. and
In an eternal half minute his quick
wit found a way out of the trouble for
him.
"a nice thing" remarked the male
doll. looking around ut the royal audi.
ence with alarm. bringing me TO a
swell house like this In these terrible
gloves!'
This caused SO much amusement
that the ventriloquist decided to make
more of the "wheeze." and the badly
behaved old gentleman's incessant
grumble throughout the entertain
ment. "rotten cotton gloves" proved
one of the chief successes OF the even
ing.
The cline" was In all Mr.. lie Hays
subsequent performances in America
as well as I'm England. and II. say. a
man had had bad deal in Wall street
or In Throgmorton avenue 1t was the
usual thing to say that he had rot
ten cotton deal."-London NJ. A. p.
