"Will you kindly let iuu soj some of
your tortoise-shell lorgnettes," languidly
inquired a fashionably dressed young
lady tho other day as bhe stood before
the counter in a leading optlcian'n store,
nnd looked tho clerk i.u-adily in tho
eye.
"Keg pardon; do you mean opera
glasses or eyeglasses?'' asked tho dork.
"Eye- glasses."
Thereupon the clerk produced a lnrgo
box, in which wu-j an assortment of the
motu, absurd specimens of the opticians'
handiwork ever sold for failing eyesight.
They were "lorgnette eye-glasses," so
?'ailed because, like tiio ordinary opera
or field glasses, they have to be contin?
ually held to the eye while in use. Tho
eye-glass part ia shaped like a pair of
spectacles, except that Instead of two
hows lo go back over the ears, there ia u
loir; handle to be hehl n the hand. Ul?

these are the proper lings, anil in con?
sequence, spectacle* double eye-glasses,
nnd even the Binjr' eye-glass or "quiz,"

The young lady nwuliunnd bought ouo
oi i'".'/loi (,'netlt's.". nnd went out of tbo
?itoie after paying a f 10 bill for her pur-'
chase.
?"Do you sell many of those things?"
wiib asked of the optician,
"Quantities," lio answered, "nnd tbo
sale of them is constantly increasing.

becomes quite tiresome in time. 1 sell

I'ffn Itrcosrnisril Method*, of Working
Out Ct.nl?liaucvroui Subaltlriico.
The alarming subsidence which took
plant* Mime liniengo in Scotland, on tho
North British railway, near Preston pun*,
and'which was fortunately unattended
by any accident, has doubtless added a
fresh sourco of fear to the nervous rail'
way pus-scnger. That tho permaii'-nt
way of n railway for u distance of about
fifty yards should middenly sink to tin)
extent of two feet is almost Incompre?
hensible ut first; and had this subsidence
occurred while the train was passing, in
stead of immediately afterward; tho
consequences might huvo been dis?
astrous. It is tho case, however, though
it may not bo generally known, that
subsidences?fortuuau-ly only gradual
mid comparatively irmpprociabU ?uyt
taking place over many of our railway
lines, und that "minerals" lire actually
being extracted from underneath nearly
every line of railway under which, them
is any mineral to get.
There are two recognized methods o!
working out coal. Tho old im-tliod is
what is known as the "stnop-an.l-room"
->r ' pitlnr-und-room" system; and the
?lc-tlmd introduced into Scotland ulsi.it
ihn beginning of the present century is
known an the "longwull" or "Sariip.ih.ro"
system of working. Tho that system
explains itself by its name. After the
bed of coal is struck, "rooms" are worked
out, leaving "pillars" or ?'stoops" to sup
|K>rt the superincumbent strata. Tho ob?
ject to be attained in this system, in
practiced in the olden time*, was to
have n large room worked out, nnd as
small a stoop or pillar of tlio coal Itav-f
left, aa was consistent with the safety --f
the mine mid the support of the sun ace,
.vhile Hie mine was open.
litit this system entailed tho entire
oss of Ilm pillars so loft. To obviate
this loss, the method now generally
adopted is to dlivo narrow rooms ot
put.-ages, seldom exceeding fomucii
iect, through tlio lenni, leaving litres
pillars?about 75 per cent, of the min?
eral?until the extremity of tho availa?
ble coal is reached. When, howi-vei,
im regard is to be bad for tlio surface,
an.I the coal lias thus wmked out as Ikl
as can be dune, the miner conliiiunces to
work backward, taking out the stoops 01
pillars us he goes, Tim whole roof ol
ih^ mine ilien comrs down; ami this It,
the iiioal dangerous kind of subsidence.
It di.es not take effect immediately above
the place whero "Stooping" baa been go !
ing Utir-bUt?itii.;?Js?TUi"?lruW||5 round
about it.
Tho "longwall," or Shropshire method
of working, is what is known n.s the
system of complete excavation; that is,
lite miner take.* out the whole eon I as ho
proceeds, leaving perhaps only a foot of
the roof, should the overlying strata he
soft, and props up a passage with wooden
bupixirta as hu piocneds, to enable him
to keep mi open way to tho face of thu
coal. The portions worked out are I
packed on each side of tho "road" will
i in- waste material taken out 'vl?l; tho !
coal. This method of working, though
it necessarily implies subsidence, is oil
ihr whole the safest for tho surface, and i
is generally tlie ono adopted. In fact, i
as mineral landlords arc paid, in lieu ol ?
rent, a royally or lordship on every loh |
of c?al or oilier mineral brought to thu {
surface, and at tlio tenant cm more |

ton worn no he.\i ds. Lincoln was tho
Iii st president who had whiskers. Grunt,
tlnrflold, and Hayes had full chin whis?
kers. Arthur and Cleveland wore the
mustache, hut no whiskers.
Washington was a manly man, ma?
jestic in proportions, nnd of diguillud
hearing. He was of the blonde type.
J. ITers.ni was tail and elegant looking,
with sandy hair and fair complexion.
His granddaughter. Mrs. Randolph
Mciklt ham, is wonderfully like him in
appearance.
Mr.dison was sninll and plain. He
looked like a well-to-do farmer. Mis.
Madison had a majestic and queenly air,
and he appeared to disadvantage, physi?
cally, iu her company. Before she mar?
ried him i.he alluded to him to her
I friends as the "littlo great Madison."
Monroe was n good-looking man iu
his uniform. He liked to wear the
cocked hat of the Revolution, and held
I to it. so long that he went by the suu
I briquet of "the last cooked hat."
j Doth John Adams and his son John
Quiney, were stout, und tho sou was
thick sot nud slant. Tho latter wo*
quite bald.
Jucksou was gaunt, thin, and plain
His eyes wore, his best feature
Van D?ren was an Insignificant lo.ik
iug little man, thu least handsome of
the presidents.
Harrison wum a fine-looking, soldlerl)
man, even in old age. of Itohlu fcului'ci.
and genuine dignity.
Tyler was thin and tall, and bis nose
was remarkable for tdz ? and plainness..
Polk was small and unattractive in per?
Ron and manners. Taylor was a largo!
?nan of rough exterior, hut u pleasant,
genial person. Filin.uo had a dlgnillui*
appearance, without elegance, but gen?
teel and agreeable. He was a large uinn
of gooil address. Pierce was a slight,
handsome man of delightful manners
mi! winning voice. Dim: Perloy Ponro.
.n his reoeut "Romlnlsooilo.nl," says that
he was the most popular man per-ionatly
that ever occupied too presidential chair.
No other president over won the nffic
I lions of tho people nt Washington so
completely as did he. His successor,
Mr. Buchunan, was courtly in bearing,
and was a line-looking man even in ol 1
age. Ho had a penchant for white iifck
lies.'WiVivAl gave him a clerical look.

the youngest of the presidents. Hayes
and OurOeld lookud alike?both largo
nud tall, of fl trial complexions and good

of the two.
(len. Arthur is the only pidsidont who
wore sidu whiskers. He ivm* a well-pro

The danger* of corpulei ..are mnny
'fold. All diseases ucauihpanlod by hl.'h
fever are apt to follow an uiiu.iiiully
mul gaunt course in fut persona, The
heat deyolopetl in these iille-olloim can
not be so readily lost by radintiiui or
conduction us in thu lean. Tins cold
bath, tho cold pack nnd all formt of
cooling measures fail lo really reduce
the temperature, an I tho fovor is, in it?
self, a serious source of danger. The
skin is constantly bathed in perspiration
on slight exertion or when the external
temperature rises. Hence skin diseases
are common and often intensely annoy?
ing among the corpulent. Tho breath
ingiis interfered with by the accumu?
lated fat. so breathtessnesn on exertion
is common among them.
Thu frequency of perspirntlono leaves
tho surface exposed to chilling influ?
ences which cause coughs, colds, bron?
chitis ami pneumonia. Tiiu overloading
of the heart with fut interferes with its
action, so that pnlpilitlioiiH ami sudden
faiutness from partial failure of this
organ to do its duty are not infrequent.
Tho extra weight that has to be ourrio''
entails muscular exhaustion on exertion
such as is not felt by the thin person.

is great discontent over tho now mill

deserting every day. Several battailous

The rule has been adopted to encour?

The adopt ion of the rule will also give
the Salvation Army officers time to de?
