GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
SPECTACLES OF ST. PAUL
This Picture of st. Paul With Spectacles Not
Singular in the Age to Which It Belongs

the oldest known representation
identifiable historic parsonage.
Since the illumination who made
of spectacles on the nose of an
the picture of st. Paul did his
work nearly thirty years later
than the painting Of the fresco at
Treviso, it is not improbable that
he caught the idea of decorating
the apostle with so striking a
symbol of literary labor, by study
ing the portrait of the specialized
cardinal that Thomas of Modena
had placed amidst his forty un-
specialized brethren in the Church
of st. Nicholas.
SpectacIes Not Modern
Considering the fact that spec.
tacles date back at least to the
thirteenth century, and that they
had become very common in the
time of Calico, and of Hans
Lippershey himself a spectacle
maker by trade). it is altogether
probable that they were formerly
used by many monks, clerks and
other men Of literary attainments,
and search may reveal portraits
of an earlier dal he than that of

man vision seated triumphant
upon the throne of the nose be-
fore the double window Of the
soul through which most of our
knowledge OF the external world
and of the doipgs of our fellow
nortals is derived.
The invention of spectacles has
been ascribed to the famous Roger
Bacon, monk, and natural philos-
opher, but apparently they were
known before him. There is a
legend that Nero, the fiddling
emperor, who at any rate watched
Rome burning If he did not have
it set on fire, possessed a kind of
opera glass set in a ring through
which he gloatingly studied the
struggles and agonies of the
gladiators and the Christian
martyrs on the bloody sands Of
the Coliseum.

Time was when neighboring was
an essential and mighty welcome
part of life. In fact there was
very little sociar life save that
which arose from neighborhood
communities. Moreover, sue h
neighboring made for mutual pro-
lection. When Grandma dropped
in to look at Molly Browns new
churn or Grandpa helped Dick
Evans fix. the hay-rake they were
not inspired merely by good fell
lowship. They knew that they
could depend on Milly to help
with Clara's graduation dress and
that Dick would return the favor
by looking after the steers If they
were going to leave town for a
spell.
Neighbors in those days were
not only something to love- they
also took the place OF score of
institutions and conveniences
which are easily uvaIiable in our
complicated modern life. But if
you now attempt to go in for
neighboring on the scale that
Grandpa and Grandma did, you
are wasting your time and com
plicating your program beyond
the point Of sense or happiness.
Neighbors can't mean to us
what they did to them. We don't
NEED them as such, nor they US.
And we do need to spend our time
on many other interests IL we are
to do ourselves or the world JUS
tice
Does this mean that we should
not make friends? 1t does not.
But it does mean that we should
not allow ourselves to make any
more friends than our lives can
profitably assimilate. Loafing
around the houses OF friends
whose lives have no intimate re-
lationship to ours, or letting them
loaf around ours, is exactly as
wasteful and wrong as loafing In
the corner hangout.
WE SHOULD BUDGET OUR
TIME AND AFFECTIONS AS
CAREFULLY AS WE BUDGET
OUR FINANCES.
