Uaaajeraaa Devices.
There were eomu cuuulug device In
voiruc among the I h' Ilea of the old
world for it Mug expresHloii to the eve.
The miwt reck lean of them were wont
to place a niiiglc drop of that deadly
iiulrfon. !ruNl' acid. In the fait tout of a
wlueglata and hold It against the eye
for two or throe secouds. or, more
ruahly still, tliey would take a email
(linintitv, a iiltne not lurner than a
irrnlu of rlce-of an ointment contain
ing Hint mortal drug, atropla, and rub
It en tlie brow. Km-h of theeo was aup-
Ioed to jive clearness aud brilliancy,
exnand the pupil and Impart a fusel-
natlng fudnesa and mellowness to Ue
eye. Certnln ellghtly pungent and rob
atlle iHTfuines, aucb aa oil of thyme,
were occasionally worn on the hand
kerchief, causing the eye to glitter and
Mpurkle. Tlie eye waa made to appear
large, full and almond shaped by the
use of a line pencil dipped In antlmo-
iilal sulphur or Egyptian black, rubbed
upon the lids along tbe angle.
Black Bottles For Wl.
Black bottlea for wine wera intro
duced about a hundred and fifty years
ago. Lord Dclaval, an Engllah peer,
hrousht over a number of Hanoverian
blowera and started worke at Sutton
Rinw In Northumberland. Ilia main
Idea waa to uttllee a Beam of Inferior
! an bla estate. At drat tha black
color waa due to the material used In
picking the glaaa, but afterward the
nuhiic became ao bahituatea 10 we aa-
aoclatlon of wine and black bottlea
that, even when tha conatltnenta need
were changed and Improved, coloring
matter waa introduced to keep tip tha
familiar appearance.
