I do not think that eye troubles are on the increase,! said a dealer in optical goods, "although the demand for spectacles is greater in proportion than the growth of population. The reason for the increase is that people hare less timidity about using specta cles. There vs an impression, not yet effaced, that the use of spectacles once begun can never be laid aside. This is not true. The fact is that a person who really ought to use spectacles by putting off the adoption of them only necessitates the wearing of a higher number when he does put them on whereas, if he had worn spectacles in time he might have so nursed his ocular strength as to discard them at pleasure. for a period at least- "Are not eye-glasses rery often worn when there is no real need for them?"' "Quite likely they are," replied the dealer, "but I notice that the sale of eve-glasses does not keep up in the same proportion as the sale of specta- cles. The eye-glass mania seems to be dving out. "Where are spectacles manufac tured?" "The frames are made in this coun- trv. Foreigners can not compete with us in making the frames. The pebbles are mostly ground abroad. Pebbles are also ground to order here in special eases. "I would sooner sell one pair of spectacles to a man," added the dealer. "than half a dozen to a woman. A tromai. seems to be more anxious as to how she will look in the spectacles than how she will look through them and seems to think we ought to" have looking glasses here as big as those in the dry goods stores.1 A.

HE WON A cooLrs5,ooa reat ood Lock of Kami W. Barrett. Melbourne Avenue, North Toronto, has for the past few days been a scene of intense excitement. It was whis' pered that one of the residents held a lucky ticket in The Louisiana State -Lottery drawing on the 9th nit. The New found the fortunate man to be Samuel Ward Barrett, 105 Melbourne avenue, foreman bookbinder at Gage & Co.'s, Wellington street. Mr. Barrett was found at his place of business, and in answer to the re porter's inquiries said, while a broad smile lighted up his whole countenance, I had no faith in the lottery busi ness ; but ,f our months ago one of the men induced me to invest a dollar in i t. I sen t to the New Orleans National Bank in New Orleans to find out how I could get tickets. The bank sent me blanks, and I enclosed a dollar for a tenth ticket in the May drawing. I got nothing then. Still in June I again sent a dollar for a tenth ticket, also in July, and also in August. I got the report of the August drawing last Thursday week on my way home, and carelessly jammed it into my pocket, with the remark: 'Well, there's another dollar gone. In my bedroom, however, I thought I would look at the report, and the first that met my eyes was the number 29,146, entitling me to one-tenth of the nftv thousand dollar prize. I immediately broke the news to my wife, and joy reigned in the family. " I tell you, said Mr. Barrett with a wink, "one does not fall into a small fortune eo slick every day." " How did you collect your money?" asked Tlte Newt, when sufficiently re covered. " I received notice from the New Orleans National Bank that a draft for $5,000 in gold coin had been for warded to the Central Bank in this city, payable to my order." " Did you call at the Central Bank and draw the money?" "No, I allowed it to remain there on deposit to my credit." . ' Had you other tickets in the same drawing?" "No. I only had one. The whole business since I commenced cost me for tickets, postage, etc., $4.32, and now I stand in five thousand dollars ahead." " I suppose you will go more exten sively into lottery business hereafter?" " No, I wiireontinue to send my dollar every month. But I tell you they are going to do a pile of business here now. No less than one hundred tickets have been sent fur since I got the prize." He turned around, and pointing to the numerous employee?, said : " Why all these have sent for tickets, and they intend to continue as monthly sub scribers." 2Vro7 (Ont.) JiVwi, Srp frnibrr IX, EDUCATING HORSES. A Sjatem of Mug-rnvnt sad Traluln j lio'ouimMiilt Ittf. 1 Uat The method employel by Earey was to deprive the horse of the use of hb lirubs and thr-n to cause him to realiz the utter uaelcssness of attempting to do otherwise than as the operator do- sired. The method is rather severe, taken altogt?ther, and though most ex cellent foi- vicious animals, is not ad visable in the care of colts or of an an imal that is not vicious. Tho principal thing, in training a colt or horso that is not vicious, is patience, and there U a temptation to many to resort to methods that are quicker and do not require the exercise ol patience, me average colt or horso needs only to un derstand what is wanted of Jt to do it, if the task is within the animal's power. But it can not always immediately un derstand what is required, and the per sistence in teaching it this is where tho necessity of patience comes in. But if some other means are found necessary, the Kafey rnethott may be adopted. In the tirst place we must got a halter or bridle upon the animal, and that is sometimes a pretty diillcr.lt thing to do. Rarer sometimes used drugs to quiet the horse, and that is permissible if nothing else will answer, but never should be advised if other means can be employed. He would rnb a little of the oil ot cummin upon the hands, and approach the horse, upon the windward side, so that he could smell the oiL It is said that as soon as thu animal smells the cummin he will permit the man to approach him. When ap proached a little of the oil is rubbed upon the nose, and it is said to make the animal so docile that he can be led anywhere. We have never seen this done, and while it is one of the features of the Rarey method, we mu advUe caution in attempting thus to approach a dangerous animal. A vicious horse, with both head and heels loose, is not a very safe thing to trifle with. - The bridle or halter once on, the horse is next thrown upon his side. To do this the left foot is lifted up to the body and a strap is passed over the knee and pushed over the lower pastern joint over the ankle and closs to the body of vho arm. x his brings the ani mal on tlir.'e legs, on which he is com pelled to stand for five or ten minutes. Keep the foot close to the body by tightening the strap. Perhaps the ani mal may jump around some. Let htm jump as much as ha iiKes, give mm bridle room enouga to do as he pleases. He will soon le.irn that he can not get the foot down, and that is tho lesson to be taught. Next nooso a strap about the ankle of the right foot, and pass it over the shoulder. The operator takes hold of this strap and jerks the foot up. bringingthe horse down upon his knees. It is likclv he wul struggle, but not long if his head is k?pt down and the foot kept well up. Ha will pretty soon show a disposition to lie down. Give him all the encouragement possible to do so bv talking kindly aad rubbing or patting hira with one hand while the other is used to endeavor to push him over. As soon as he does lie down it is likelv that he will begin ag.ia to struggle. Hold the head firmly to the ground and keep the left f.ot firmly back, and the straggle will soon end. It is better that two men should oper ate, thousrh Mr. RArey never had an assistant. Oiiee down and helpless and submis sive let the work of kindness begin. Allay the animal's fears and calm his nervousness. You have shown the creature thnt von are his master, now teach him that you are his friend. He must be brought to realize that he 13 saff in vonr hands and that vou will ot hurt him, or permit him to be hurt. His confidence mut ba aroused and sustained. After talking kindlv to him and patting him for awhile the oper ator sits down upon the annual, then iies dovn upon him. turns from side to ide, indeed making all the changes possible, the more the better. Then bring a saddle and lay it gently upon him; then all parts of the harness, ap- oiving them piece bv piece. When hese operations have beea continued for a half or three-quarters of an hour. and after the animal has ceased to show any signs of fear, remove every thing and encourage the animal to get up. Sometimes this process is gone through with several times, but once will usually "break" the horse. Bu whatever von seek to teach the animal. there should be perseverance until the work i3 accomplished; and, therefore. if it i3 necessary to repeat the process we have described to make the break ing perfect, repeat it. Do not half do it. Above all things avoid rough, loud language. A horse does not like to be sworn at. If it is a vicious horse he is too much of a "gentleman" not to know that profanity is a very ungentle manly thing. The horse is capable of a high degree of education, but his trainer needs to be educated before the horse. Detroit Free Press, HONESTY REWARDED. True Story of Conwcien lona Boj and Oeneroaa Woman. "I think Tve found the most gener ous woman in New York," said a Maid en Lane diamond merchant to a friend in the Astor House rotunda yesterday. "Proceed with your story," said the other, resting his elbow on the polished bar. . "Ted, my little office boy," the mer chant continued, foand a lady s poet etbook the other day. It contained about one thousand dollar? in cash an several valuable papers valuable to the owner, I mean. He picked it up near the door of my store, but as no one saw him do it he could easily have kept the money without any one bein aware of the fact. It must have been quite a temptation to the little chap, for he onlv earns two dollars and a half a week and his folks are very poor. But he brought it right in to me like little man. I watched the papers but it was not advertised. Several day passed and I had begun to think giving the book back to the finder when I learned from a friend that wealthy ladv customer of mine who lives on Fifth avenue had suffered loss of this kind. I sent Ted up with the purse. Sure enough, it was hers. When he explained how he found she became demonstrative over the honest wav he had acted. She patted his head and declared that it did her good to know that there was really one honest boy in New York, 'lou'll not go unrewarded, either,' she added. 'Just come with me. He went with her into an adjoining room, and then what do you suppose she gave him as reward?" O, ten dollars, perhaps," returned the friend. The diamond man smiled. "The re ward she gave him," he added, "was a big pieca of huckleberry pi simply that and no thing more." J5T, J, Trib- BRITISH LAND-OWNERS. Forty-four Fenont Who Own Otw Sin! Million Acre of I-ftntl. It is a striking fact that m-hnlf ! the land tn tho United Kingdom Kng laud, Scotland. Inland and Wales i held by 1-12.000 part of the population; that is to say, 2,238 individuals out of a population of 30,000,000 monopolize 40, 000,000 acres, which comprise the terri tory of the islands. It is still more startling that more than one-right h of the territory, comprising 9.300.000 acres, is held by forty-four persons, not one of whom owns less than 100,000 acres. And two Lord Middlcton and the Duke of Sutherland possess over 1,000,000 acres each. In the House of Lords the property interest is, of course, paramount, upward of 400 out of 500 Peers being land owners to the extent of 14, 250,000 acres. In the House of Commons there are about 200 proprietors owning upward of 2,000,000 acres, besides more than sixty sons and heirs of land-holding peers. Taking both houses of Parliament, the land owning interest is far in excess of the others, owning a qnarU-r of all the land in the United Kingdom. Can it be ex pected that they will pass any law in terfering with their own land laws? Until this evil law of primogeniture shall be done away with there will al ways be party spirit and evil laws.

SOME SOUTHERN GIRLS. Different Ways tn Which th Dear Creat- nrea Handle Their Tonsjnr. "It is a fact that young hidies in the various communities have many ways of handling their tongues, and iu some instances unanimity makes a certain movement, if not ex loci,' at lea characteristic. People who have sat next to Weslevan College girls at a musical will bear wtness to the fact that their tongue movement is neret in extension, but vibrato-y, like the concert of grenadier blackbirds late in the fall. On the other hand, the At lanta girl talks last, and as sue gasps for breath in the periods where she fears interruption, thrusts her tongue out to its full length and begins the next sentence with 'and, which is thrown in as a claim upon your atten tion.

Anylxxly who has heard a cow walk through a mud-hole will understand the sound attempted in the description.

WEDDING ANECDOTES. a t Uritrmau't Amiiklnj Chat on tU Sub ject of M arr.ace Fee. "bpcaktng of marriage foes,' a Brotmneut clergyman said, "recalls a very embarrassing blunder which was j perpetrated upon an innocent motner clergyman reoentlv. The groom, who was not a very nervous follow either, carolessly xkd an old plantation negro ballad in his vest pocket with the five dollar bill which he intended as the maniae Urn. During the ex citement which followed the ceremo ny, the young man placed the planta tion ballad iu the palm of the clergy man. After a fervent God-speed, the officiating clergyman left wkhout in specting the negro song. The divine was indignant when he discovered the natu:- of the bit of paper which he had stowed away in his wallet. He felt insultod. H wever friends inter ceded, tho young man found the fiva dollar bill in his vest pocket, made a hurried explanation aud succeeded in allayi ng the ire of the, indignant clergyman. "When in California," the ecclesi astic continued. "I hail a little experi ence with a presumptuous groom. The witness, a prominent physician, re quested ma to come to a hotel to marry the couple. 1 complied, and after the ceremony the groom began to fumble twenty-dollar gold piece about be tween his thumb and index fingers. Of ourse, all present observed the coin. Finally thi young man sidled toward the piazza dvor and beckoned me to follow. When the door shut us from the bride and tho doctor, the young Benedict slipped the doub'e eagle into his trous ers pocket and fished ont twenty shill ings iu silver as my fi. I said nothing. but when 1 came to forward a cer- ifieate I filled it out on a piece of foolscap paper. I heard from the groom's friend, the doctor, in due time.

They desired to be united in the holy bonds of wedlock, and when the ceremony was concluded, the groom, who ap peared rath?r dwiL continued to linger and seemed greatly embarrassed. The gleeful bride nudged him In the side occasionally and locked hard at the door. The vonng man oaly grew more and mn-a unrasy. When all tho oplc of conversation had been exhausted tho clergyman's good wife proceeded to entcita'n tha young eouple with cuke and refrtshnint. At last about one ana a hall hours alter the cera- mony had been conclude!, the bride crowded the groom to the door and was seemingly determined to get him out id the room. Just s the door was about to be swung open the groom plunged his hands Into his trousers pocket, drew forth a fifty-cent silver piece, blushed violently and hurried from tho house. "II iwever." said the clergyman. "I hnd more repect for this j oor fellow than I did for the Im posttor who gave me two dollars and fifty cents after h3 had giren his brida and friends to nnderstind that I was to r cire twenty dollars.

There are men who teach snake harming as a business. 0:ie of them alking th other nay said women learn tho accomplishment quicker than ;he sterner sex and fellow it in the museums. Tuition cists, lie said, from f300 to $500, according to how rapidly they learn. This, of course, includes he whole tliiag, not only how to h an ile the snakes, but also to do different tricks with them, which are all com bined in what Is known as the snake tel. lh'.s consists in making a cap or urban of the snake and putting it on he head, making a sash of one by ar ranging it around the body, a belt by placing it around the waist or a pair f wristlets of Bniall snakes. The act I30 include putting all these on the person at one time so that the body is covered with snakes, eight or nine of them at a time. When covered with them in this way the woman supiwrts about two hundred pounds of snakes and can scarcely walk. There is a great deal in knowing the nature of snakes, particularly the posi tion ther get in when thev are about to strike. After they strike once they never get over It. hen they once bite you they will try and do it again ?very chance they get.

So ftcr the woman gets confidence in her work, she can get along all right. I get the snako I teach them with under control, and then allow the woman to begin to handle it. You see, snakes have brains as well as other animals. ' Thoy never close their eyes, and watch all the time. The cost of the snakes varies from $35 to 8150 and 200 apiece, and in weight they run. from one lxindrod pounds down to thirty, ten and even live pounds. All this alk about feeding a snake to make it tame and easy to handle is nonsense. They are simply like nit other w ild animal.

Like tho cowboys who "paint the town red" in their simple joy, it covered the auriferous gravels' with showers of pumice, ashes and pebbles, and finally capped the entire mass with a broad sheet of solid basalt and lava. Not only did this great prehistoric eruption overwhelm the mastodons. Pliocene lamas and other extinct animals whose bones and teeth still pleasantly diver sify the California diggings (giving in cidental occasion to the celebrated swriety upon the Stanislaw), but it also buried beneath its ash and lava the famous and much-debated Cavaleras skull, which, if genuine, is the oldest fragment of a human body now known to exist anywhere. The capping of lava varies from one hundred to one hundred and fifty feet in thickness. and it has preserved from erosion the subjacent gravel which would other wise have been swept away, and so rendered jxissible the very existence of the California diggings and the town of San Francisco.
