ABOUT, SPECTACLES.
Feonl !ot o Timid About Wearing Them
as They Vsed to Ho.
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. F. Sun.

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

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

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,

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

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.

that their tongue movement is neret
in extension, but vibrato-y, like the
concert of grenadier blackbirds late in

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

"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. Ho demanded an explanation of
my cfli-ontory. hen I meekly In
formed that I could not afford to fur
nish a first-class certificate when the
foe vjT so small, I received five dol
lars from the grooni for a proper state
ment of the marriage.
The clergvmen then narrated how on
returning from nraver meetinr with
his will he found a couple seated In a
buggy waiting Ivefore h;9 door. 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

There are men who teach snake
harming as a business. 0:ie of them

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

?very chance they get. N s we don't
give them any drug nor rub them quiet

hat vou are not afraid of them. 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. In charm

ihem know that yo- are master, to go

Auriferous gravels can of course only
exist whore auriferous quartz veins
existed before them. Without a bank
to draw np(n in the fir(jt plac0 youcJin
not possibly get your bullion, in fJali-
fornia the materials that make up the
gold-bearing gravel beds were washed
down by streams anil floods in the Plio
cene period from the mountain tops
above and deposited in tho basins of
ancient lakes aud rivers now no more.
But Pliocene gravel would, under nat
ural circumstances, loug since have
been washed away. It has been pre
served in California to the days of Bill
Nye and Jones of Calaveras, by a pe
culiar accident which those amiable
gentlemen would no doubt regard as
'almost providential for the mining
interest Toward the close of the
genial Pliocene epoch, that usually
well-conducted chain, the Sierra Ne
vada, suddenly burst forth "on the
spree" into volcanic activity on a grand
and generally Western American scale.
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. Cornhill Magazine.
A Fourth Warder, says the New
York Suit, stopped a dignified man on
the Bowery recently, saving: "Say,
young feller, give roe a light, will
yer?" "I will give you a light," said
the gentleman, "but 1 am not a young
feller, and that is not the way to ad
dress me. The Fourth Warder got
light, and as he handed the cigar back.
with his politest manner said: "Thank
you, pop.
