ADVICE TO THOSE WHO USE
GLASSES.

Men engaged in literary pursuits should
read mostly by day and write mostly by
night. 1t is worthy of note that reading
causes more strain to the eye than writ
ing, and that copying work in writing
makes a greater demand upon the organs
of vision than off-hanG composition
Twilight and mixture of twilight and
artificial illumination should be avoided
fer 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 the bright suns hine. The green glass
that is so often adopted for this purpose
is not by any means so worthy of conf
dence
Reading in railway travelling is objec
tionable in the highest degree, for very
obvious reason. The oscillation of tie
carriage continually alters the distance
of the page from the eye, and so calls for
unceasing strain in the effort to keep the
organ in due accommodation for the
ever-varying distance of the dancing i'm
age.
The exact fitting of the frame work Of
spectacles to the face and eyes is of more
Importance than is generly supposed If
the centers Of the lenses do not accurate
ly coincide with the centers of the pupils
of the eyes, the consequence is that the
images i'll the separate eyes are a little
displaced from the position they ought to
hold, and somewhat painful effort has
to be made by the eye to bring those i'm
ages into due correspondence for accurate
vision. An Incl pient squint is apt to be
IN this way produced. Mr.. Carter re-
commends that people should look to the
centering of their spectacles for them
selves. This may easily be done by
standing before looking glass with the
spectacles in their place. If the fit is a
good one, The center of the pupil shonld
then appear in the center Of the rim.
Fully framed spectacles are always to be
preferred to folding frames, because they
permit Of more satisfactory adjustment in
this particular, and because they are more
easily kept in position with regard to the
eyes.
The only advantage which the pebble
has over glasses for the construction OF
spectacles is the immunity which it po-
sesses against scratching and fracture, on
account of its great hardness Edmbmg

TRACK-LAYING ON THE NORTH
ERN PACIFIC.

L have Just returned from a vi sit to the
end OF the Northern Pacific Railroad
track, and the head of the Yellowstone
valley, What an enormous valley this
$3.50 miles long! 1t would reach near
ly in straight line, from New York to
Chicago The end of the North Pacific
track IS at Young's Point, on the Yellow
stone river, OF rather, was there few
days ago. The road is progressing at the
rate Of one and halt to two miles per
day, and this winter will reach Benson's
Landing, and possibly Bozeman. The
track leaves Yellowstone valley at Ben
sons, after having traversed it for dis
tance OF 400 miles. 1t strikes the Yel-
lowstone at Gle Idive, runs up to Miles
City, eighty miles; thence to Forsyth,
forty-eight miles; thence to Billings, 1873
miles; where it crosses over from the
south to the north bank of the Yellow
stone. From Billings it runs to Coun
tryman's Crosses, again to the north sides
and thence to Benson's. Here it turn,
sharp west, goes up Trail creek to Bad
ger Mountairs and through a tunnel g.
900 feet long, and emerges in the head
of the Gallatin Valley near Bozeman,
from which place it traverses the Gala
tin Valley to Helena.
[ saw the tracklayers at work on the
Northern Pacific road. Little cars, load
ed with iron rails, were dragged forward
by mules hitched to ropes made fast to
the sides of the cars, and, as fast as the
iron reached the end of the laid rails, new
iron was seized and rushed forward. So
accurately would the handlers throw a
rail, that it iayed where it fell and was
instantly spiked down in its place. If
you stopped to converse for few mir
utes the tracklayers would get several
rods ahead
/ did not time them, but about a minute
was sufficisnt to place rail. In advance
of the track-layers were hundreds of men
sizing up the road-bed, building culverts
and putting in bridges. Behind the
track-men came boarding houses on
wheels, long lines of cars, loaded with
rails, and great engines pushing them
along westward over the new-laid track.
1t was sight well worth seeing, and ore
calculated te fill the breast of Western
man with hope for the future of his coun-
try.-General Bris6in's Trauezs IN Mon

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN'S RO-
NANCE.

In the Silver Chapel is the tomb and
marble efigy Of that beautiful woman,
Philippine Welser, whose photograph
you see in all the shop windows of Inns
pruck Her eyes were divine. it is said,
dark blue, her hair golden chestnut, and
the skin so transparent that "the red
wine could be seen as it ran down the
lovely throat In the photograph her
beautiful face rises up, like lovely flow
er, out of high ruff, a superb jewelled
collar with pendant jewels is bound close
about the high-mounting neck of the rich
dark velvet robe; the hair is parted and
rolled back from high, broad, intelli-
gent forehead, that has nothing Greek
about it, but is a clear, good, Anglo Sax
on brow; on the head is net cap made
of small gold rosettes, with pearls, and a
jewelled border around it. The arch of
the delicate eyebrows is perfect; the eyes
have bewitching expression that is both
courageous and pleading ;she, had shape
ly nose, lovely mouth and chin, and an
expression of dignity, refinement and gen.
tleness; perfect womanly loveliness char
acterize this pictured semblance ofa wom-
an, who was the most beautiful of her
day, and whose romantic history has in
spired many poet and dramatist
She was the daughter Of rich Augs-
burg banker. Ferdinand, nephew OF
Charles V, fell madly in love with her,
and they were married secretly. She was
the mother of two sons, whose portraits
you can see at Schloss Ambras, the charm
ing castle on the Mittelgebarge Noun
tain slopes, short distance from Inns
pruck, where Philippine and Ferdinand
spent their long, happy married life.
The Emperor Ferdinand was naturally
very angry at this marriage, but during
one of his visits to III spruct the lovely
woman came with Der young boys and
begged him to forgive her. History tells
pretty touching story how he had only
to look at Philippine to justify his son.
When Ferdinand the Emperor died she
lost her best and most powerful friend.
Her mother-in-lav was forever taunting
her. So one morning the poor woman
lay down, in her bath tub and drowned
herself, in order that her dear husband
might marry a royal wife. You can see
the bath room at Sahloss Ambras, but
the custode denies the legend, Il am hap
py to say, and l am unwilling to believe
it. Her husband, the Count of TIyol,
mourneG her loss. Tradition says he was
frantic with grief, and built the beauti-
full Silberne Chape, where each lie bur-
led True, he married again only two
years after her oath, and his second
wife was of his own rank, the daughter
of Duke William IF Mantua; but be new

LoNDoN's NEW LORD MAYoR.-Mr
Alderman Knight, who has just been
elected Lord Mayor for the ensuing mu-
n ciEal year, seems to be a very fair speci-
men of self-made man of the Dick
Wilmington type. He was good boy
at school, and won the prizes Then he
was good warehouseman, then good
commercial traveller in the fancy goods
trade, and during all this time instead of
spending his money, he invested it in
back lanes, and converted, with large fl
nancial profits, slums into habitable
abodes. Having become rich he travel
ed, to enlarge his mind, in the United
States, and was made Chairman of wa
ter company, and an alderman The
only pity is that he should attain the
highest civic dignity of the metropolis in

prevail SO long as the present absurd city
corporation continues to exist, for he
would have been very creditable choice
had the election been a genuine one on
the part of all London -payers.-Lon-

A REMARKABLE SIGHT AT Seas

A REMARKABLE SIGHT AT SEA.-Says
the Charleston News and Courier: eyes
terday morning, about fifteen minutes
after seven o'clock, the residents of Sulli-
vans Island saw an immense water-spout
which formed abolt four miles south of
the island, near the bar. The clouds
overhead at the time were inky black.
At first slight disturbance in the water
was observed, an, then from the cloud
above there appetred, as it were gigan-
tic figure, which reached out toward the
water beneath, which every moment be-
came more agitaed, and finally rose like
miniature mountain to meet the cloud.
For some secone the upper and lower
columns of wate were separated, yet ap-
parently only twenty feet apart. Then
came the unisn between the sea and
cloud, and the arge column of water
rapidly whirled to the south-westward for
about mile, ard then burst, scattering
its tons of waterin the scathing ocean for
hundreds of yarls around
A TWENTY-FOoT SNAKE AT LARGE
For the past yer or more story has
been going the rounds that monster
snake had been seen by different parties
who reside in tie lower part of the city,
but no general notice was taken of the
matter, probably from the fact that peo-
pie are, as a rue, 10th to give much heed
to "snakestoT; but recently his snake
ship has been sen by several of our clti-
zens whose integrity cannot for moment
be questioned, and now there is quite an
excitement owe the matter. L. B. Ryer.
son says he saw the snake, and it was SO
large that, without means of protection,
he took a backtrack, and left him alone.
Since the timehe saw it others claim
to have caught glimpse OF the reptile,
and corroborate his statements. From
all we can obtain from those who have
seen it we should Judge that the snake
was nearly twenty feet long, and perhaps
from five to SIX inches through, making,
for this section, monster snake. Eff
forts are now being made to capture the

UNCLE SANS FARM.

Hon. Noah Mcfarland, Commissioner
Of the General Land Office, in his annual
report states, that the lands now embrac-
amount to 900,000,000 acres, including
Alaska. He recommends that the pre-
emption law be abolished, as the home
stead laws cover all cases now arising
The public sales of land last year amount
ed to T, 1888, 900 acres, embracing 500
acres near Toledo, Ohio, which were sold
for $16,735, an average of Sc. 38 per acre.
Respecting the forfeiture ofrailroad grants
the Commissioner says: "The status of
various grants for railroad purposes, where
roads have not been constructed within
the time prescribed by law, was reported
to Congress March % last The absence
of legislative action touching the renewal
Of these grants by declaring the forfeiture
thereof seriously embarrassed the work of
this Office. It is not deemed expedient
to certify additional lands to railroad
companies, nor to award to companies
lands in dispute between them and set
tiers or other claimants pending the de-
termination of Congress in the premises.
A large number Of settlers are occupying
such lands, and it is important to know
whether they can recover their titles from
the United States, or whether they be re-
quired to purchase from the railroad COM
panies." Commissioner Mcfarland sub
mits an estimate for salaries and conting
ent expenses the next fiscal year amount
ing in the aggregate to $453, $40, which
is an increase Of the amount appropriat-
ed for the current fiscal year of $339.40.
The increase is distributed generally
among the bureau officers, and includes
$4,000 for an Assistant Commissioner
