Men engaged In literary pursuits should read
most by day and write most by night. II is
worthy of note that reading causes more strain
70 the eye than writing, and that copying work
IN writing makes . greater demand upon the
organ OF vision than off-hand composition.
twilight and mixtureof twilight and artifi-
ciA Illumination should be avoided for any
kind OF work. The pale cobalt-blue tint is the
best that can be employed when protection for
the eye from intense glare is sought, as in the
case OF travelling upon snow-felds in bright
sunshine. The green grass that is often adopted
for this purpose is not by any means SO worthy
OF confidence. Reading in railway travelling is
Objectionable In the highest degree for a very
obvious reason. The oscillation of the carriage
continually alters the distance of the page from
the eye, and so calls for unceasing strain i'm the
effort to keep the organ In due accommodation
for the ever-yarying distance Of the dancing
image The exact fitting Of the framework of
spectacles to the face and eyes is Of more i'm
pOrtance than is generally conceived If the
centers of the lenses of the spectacles do not
accurately coincide with the centers of the
pupils Of the eyes the consequence is
that the images In the separate eyes are a
little displaced from the positions which they
ought to hold, and that a somewhat pain
ful and injurious effort has to be made by the
eye to bring those images back into due CORE
spondence for accurate vision. An incipient
squnt is apt to be in this way produced. Mr..
Carter recommends that people should look to
the centering of their spectacles for themselves
This may be easily done by standing before a
looking glass with the spectacles in their place
II the fit is good one. the center of the pupil
should then appear in the center Of the rim.
ruby formed spectacles are always to be pre-
ferred to folding frames because they permit OF
more satisfactory adjustment in this particular
and because they are more easily kept in the
| right position with regard to the eyes. The
only advantage which the pebble enjoys over
glass for the construction Of spectacles is the
immunity which it possesses against scratching
and fracture on account Of its greater hardness.

Stewart never liked to hear Cafns name men,
toned, and you couldn't make him madden than
to praise Clafin. though he never committed
himself by sayn' any thin against him. Five
different times Stewart tried to break Clafiin d
Co. down, ard once if it hadn't been for Clafin's
outside friends he would have succeeded
Stewart was very hard man on credits He
had to find out every thin about man before
he would trust him dollar. Then if the man
was all right he would trust him 100000.
One mOrnin' man from the west called on
Stewart to open credit account with him, and
he was shown. accOrdin' to custom, list of
questions that had to be answered. How old
was he? Was he married or single? How many
children had he? What were the ages, habits
Did he gamble? Did he belong to any church?
and so on. The western man looked at the
long list of questions a minute. Then he turned
ON his heel, put down the paper, and said:
well, this beats the census man. amt
gettin' my lite insured" and walked of to
Clafin's. where, without many questions, he
got all the credit he wanted.
Clafin was as popular with his men as
Stewart was unpopular, yet Clafiin believed as
much in rules as Stewart did, only he didn't
practice his belief so much.
Clafiin was always very unassumin' man,
and good story is told Of him on this point.
A man wanted to see Clafin on some per-
sonal matters one mOrnin. So he called at the
store ana asked 10 see MI. Cla1iln. He was re-
ferred from one man to another and was kept
busy huntin' Clafin here and there for some
time. While huntin' Clafiin, the man came
across, several times upstairs and down q

"A Celebrated Case"

This evening, for the first time in
about two years, the old time Salt
Lake actor, John S. Lindsay, will
make his appearance. Mr.. Lindsay
has been following his profession
during his absence in various parts
of the Pacific Coast, studying all the
time, the results of which study will
be seen in the admirable play to be
produced this evening. "a Cele-
brated Case" while given here quite
a time ago. is practically new and
will doubtless be new to nearly all
who attend this evening. Whether
new or not the play is well worth a
second witnessing, especially with
Mr.. John 5. Lindsay in the cEarac-
ter of Jean Renaud, which gives
such ample scope for power. He
will be assisted by a number of
local persons, including Mr.. J. NJ.
Hardie, while the principal lady
characters will be assumed by Mrs.
Ardelle Cummings, ever favorite,
and the rising young actress, Miss
Edith Clawson. The box Office will
be open this morning for the sale of
reserved seats and a good turn out
is expected at the Theatre tonight,
to greet Mr.. Lindsay on his reap
pearance,

Bingham's Boom.

For a time past it has been re
ported that negotiations looking t,
1.-THE sale of the Stewart Mine, mil
land all its property at Bingham, were
pending. Yesterday Afternoon
it was reported that the sale
had been consummated. The price
paid is said to have been SI,500,O0O
though this seems to be pretty
heavy and doubtless is exhorbitant
an English Company being the pur-
chasers. 1t is understood that the
company will Immediately begin the
work of renOVating the property
and the reduction OF ore.
A day or two ago the Hooper
Mine was sold, said to be for $780,
coo. to the English Company owning
the valuable Last Chance property
at Bingham, since which time a
large and rich body of ore has been
discovered, raising sAe mine to the
position of one of the best in the
camp.
The Stewart No. will resume
operations Immediately after the
snow is cleared away sufficiently to
admit of it. A new 10-stalnp mill
is to be erected, and that property
will be forced to produce bounti-
fully.
Every mine in the canyon that is
of any value will be worked TO its
full capacity, and all that is holding
the owners back is the melting OF
snow.
The Old Telegraph is shipping
heavily at present, and the chances
are Will continue doing so during
the remainder of the season, and as
the mine is described as being one
of the most valuable in the entire
camp, its slight production during
the winter has been a matter OF
wonder.
Prof. L. E. Holden is already
working his mine, the Old Jordan,
and is making the most of this
weather.
1t is also reported that the Old
Telegraph and Old Jordan compa-
MES have purchased the Bingham
Canyon railroad, the object being to
bring the ores of the mines down
to West Jordan at the lowest pos
sible figure, where water can be Sc
cured to run the smelterS. The lack
of water and the low grade of ores
has long been a drawback to the re-
duction, especially of Bingham gold
ores, and this difficulty has been one
of the hard problems mine owners
there have been endeavoring to-
solve, and it was believed the pur-
chase of this road, would bring
about a satisfactory solution.
A new method of reducing gold
and silver ores has been discovered,
which, it is said, will make it a most
profitable investment to work the
low gold bearing ores of Bingham,
which assay IS, $40 and S12 to the
ton in gold, and a trifie more in
silver; and this new process, having
been worked in England with sue
cess, is said to account for the pur-
chase of SO many properties in Bing
ham Canyon. 1t looks as though
the anticipations for a wonderfully
lively time in Bingham were to be
realized this season.

WIRE CLOTH at
II. DINwooDEY's
House Decorations.

Perhaps the finest specimen of
house decorations ever done in this
city, has just been completed in
the residence of Mr.. D. F. Walker,
it being done by Mr.. Henry Din
Woodey. The Whole house has
been repapered in the latest style.
The walls of the sitting, dining and
bedrooms are most elegantly decor
ated with the new paper, while the
hallway is covered with the new
Oriental, Persian and Japanese pat
terms. The ceiling is papered with
various colored designs, including
frieZes, embossed with decorations
and centrepieces Of various designs
and colors suited to the surround
ings. The frieZes are after the latest
moulding patterns and similar dados,
which are enriched with gilt frieZe
and dado mouldings. The paper
panels are. of all cOlors and tints,
among the richest being a dark
maroon velvet pattern. The whole
presents a rich and elegant appear
ance, and the styles of the patterns
add very materially to the magnlh-
cent effect. 1t is branch of paper
hanging into which Mr.. Dinwoodey
has lust gone, and for which he is
prepared by having on hand a large
stock of these recent patterns. The
manner in which the work is done
in Mr.. D. T. Walkers residence is
admirable, and shows that Mr.. Din
woodey understands his business.

The Rebellion.

The fact that the Rebellion is de
veloping fast into one of the greatest
mines IN Utah, is becoming more
apparent every day. We have long
had the leading mine of milling
ore in the world and will soon bid
successfully for the same position
among smelling ore producing
mines. The statement we made
but ten weeks ago, that the mine
would produce 100000 worth Of ore
this year, was looked upon by some
us visionary; but to-day there is five
times that amount in sight, and
half that amount has already been
mined. From one of the owners
we learn that the ore body has now
been prospected for 800 feet on its
course, and is from ten to fifteen feet
in thickness near the face of the
drift. Every crosscut made into il
shows an increase in the size and
quality. Pinyon Hill contains al
ore body that cannot be over esti'
mated, and we will yet see millions
of dollars produced there.-ParE
