THE HISTORY OF SPECTACLES
IVhat They A*« Mado of ao<l How Tlwj
Are to bo Fitted and Worn.
The honor and credit of pointing out the
benefit of glasses.in aid of defective vision be
long to Roger Dacron, who lived from 1214 to
1292. Spectacles were actually invented
about the year 1280 A. D.t and certainly they
were made previous to the year Kill. Tho
man who conferred this great benefit on
suffering humanity was Alexander Bpina, a
monk of Pisa, who died in 1313.
In the early progress of the art the spec
tacles made were rude and crude, and the
glasses were rough, though they rendered
great aid to the afflicted. At the present
time a reputable optician can, by successive
-experiment!?, discover tho actual defect of
the eye, and by prescription furnish a glass
that will so aid the sight as to make the
human eye and glass together serve the duty
of perfect eyes. This perfection in the
moans of assistance is due to tho experiments
and inventions of Pr. Giraud, of Paris, anil
Pr. Scheffler. The former scientist promul
gated the idea, and the latter practically put
the theory in operation.
One of the greatest philosophers of all ages
earned his scanty livelihood as a lensmaker.
Wo refer to the celebrated Baruch Spinoza,
who was excommunicated \ty tho Jowish
church of Amsterdam for what the rabbis
termed his horesies. There is no exact ago
at which either men or women may need tho
use of spectacles, but a man usual1 y will need
some aid to his natural vision after the ago
of 45, and a woman after tho age of 40.
A mistake commonly made by nearsighted
people Is it* wearing the same glares for all
purposes. This can seldom bo done without
straining tho eye. Two sets of glasses are
absolutely needed, each differing widely from
tho other in focus. Another popular mistake
is in the carelessness with which the glasscw
are put upon tho face. To obtain the full
benefit of glasses they must be so set upon
the face that the center of tho glass comes
directly In front of tho pupil of the eye. It
is very curious that people who are so fastid
ious as to tho exact fit of a coat or dress
should be so careless of the appearance of a
glass on the eye when the effects of the latter
are of so much greater importance
Glasses are commonly ground with an
equal curve on both sides. The material for
their manufacture is glass, mails specially
for tho purpose, and a rock crystal called
Brazilian pebble. The latter is less apt to
become scratched or dimmed by tho atmos
phere when going from a cold air into a
warmer one. It cannot be denied that the
invention of spectacles was one of tho most
useful to tho human family. Tb*y have alle
viated more misery than nil other human
agencies, because there is no sorrow or afflic
tion to bo compared to tho loss of sight, and
proportionately tho impairing of sight.—The
Keystone,
m.
c A Chinese Orchestra.
Three or four Chinamen conceived the idea
of entertaining tho visitors with “music,” or
else thought they would drive them out by
making a deafening din which would have
made even a corpse rise up in protest. Sus
pended from tho ceiling by apiece of tarred
marline was a sort of metal drum, made of
thick sheet copper. It was about two feet in
circumference and had a rim about six inches
broad. This one of tho Johns pounded with
a small hammer. Another took a drum of
the same size and made like a nail keg—only
of finer workmanship, of course—which was
covered by a thick piece of rawhide. The
head was tucked on with a double row of hob
nails, and was tightened by driving pieces of
wood under the edge of the head and break
ing them off. The drummers took up two
short sticks, which he used as deftly as the
bass drummer of an orchestra uses his sticks.
Another took a drum, made of pieces of raw
hide tacked on a frunw shaped like a Dutch
loaf of bread, and placing it on a peculiar
support ho began pounrling, too. Another
seized a little copper drum, about four inches
in circumference, mado like the largo one
■suspended from tho ceiling, anti pounded at
it with a little hammer.
But hero canto the worst feature of all. A
little weazened faced Chinaman seized a pair
of cymbals as large ns tho head of a flour
barrel and banged them together with
unction worthy of a better cause. The effect
j:. added to the drums that were being beaten
can better be imagined than described. It
was simply appalling and made one’s brain
rattle. This was kept up for sonio time,
despite tho captain’s growl, “Oh, shut up
that noise." IBs protest was met with a ma
licious grin, which convinced the reporter
that the orchestra had not conceived the idea
of amusing the visitors.—New York World.
A Washington Caterer.
Wormley thoroughly appreciated the im
portance of good cookery. Ho made 1100,000
out of his skill os a caterer, and he sent his
sons to Paris to be educated under the French
chefs thero. I see that his method of making
beef tea has l>een patented, and this came to
the ears of the public during the sickness of
Garfield. Wormley furnished all the food
which Garfield ate during his sickness at
' Washington, and tho dying president was
able to retain this beef tea when he could
keep nothing else upon his stomach. Wormley
made it by taking tho best of tenderloin
steak cut thick and freed from bones. This
he broiled slightly over a hot fire, and then
put it into a steel press, which, by means of
a lever, squeezed all the juice out of it. This
juice was tho pure nutriment of the beef,
and seasoned and heated it made both an
? I appetizing and a nourishing food.
Garfield, by the way, was somewhat
I troubled by dyspepsia, and he had a favorite
way of eating potatoes. Ho likod them
baked to a turn, and hail them brought upon
the table with their skins burs ted. Taking
them hot from the dish ho would squeeze the
mealy insides out uj>on his plate, add a pinch
of salt and a slight shako of i Kipper and over
the mixture he would jiour tho richest of
* Jersey cream, mixing tins together so that it
formed u thic.. j»wte. lie ate it with great
I gusto, calling it u dish fit for tho gods.—
Frank G. Carpenter in New York World.
Wanted to Realize on Values.
Johnnie, a bright boy of f< years, while be

overcoat much tho worse for wear, and huv
