Hints ON shorelins.

Nearly all the annoyances Of winter
arise from the fact that people do not
know how to meet and manage them.
Of these, getting the snow cleared of
the pavement is the most troublesome,
and causes no end of late arrivals at
places of business and an untold amount
of suffering from headache. All this
CO. be avoided by attention to a few
simple rules. based on scientific, me-
cEanical and anatomical facts:
First, borrow shovel.
Next procure pair of warm mittens,
neck-wrap of some kind, bottle oil
arnica and a chest protector.
Now you are ready for work.
Open the front door and push some
of the snow from the front step.
Now, having donned overshoes, which
we forget to mention, slip out and close
the door after you, being careful to fix
the dead-latch so it will not lock. Take
the shovel in your right hand, the
thumb upward and the fingers clasped
firmly but not too tightly around the
handle. Many persons cramp their
fingers by taking too close q grip, q
practice which also tends to irritate
the tender skin on the inside Of the
palm.
Rest the steel end of the shovel on the
step and, placing one foot a little be-
hind the other, let the handle sink of its
own weight to an angle of forty five de-
grees. Be careful about this angle. fol
up to this time the principle of pivot
is being used, and if the angle is more
acute than forty-tive degrees it will be a
sign that you are obtuse.
Now bring forward the left hand and
gently grasp the handle just two-thirds
of the way from the top, raising the i'm
plement about seven and half inches
into the air for that purpose. If you
take hold too low you force your
right arm to do double work, as the left
hand is merely movable fulcrum. Il
too high the evil is increased. The
shovel, ii properly made, will nearly
balance when the left hand is in just
the right spot. and after few expert.
ments this point can be determined
and if necessary indicated by q pencil
mark.
1t is well now to slowly swing the
shovel back and forth in the air, with
the hand in the position indicated, until
you acquire the proper motion.
Next in order, not to get out of
breath, rest the shovel on the steps.
straighten your backbone, throw back
your shoulders, and inhale the exhilar-
ating. antiseptic winter air.
Now look up and down the street I'M

Spectacle Wearers' Notions.

81 have one customer who habitually
wears six pairs of spectacles," said
Optician Arthur Pratt. "He reads
with one pair, writes with another, and
uses = third for street wear. Then all
these varieties are repeated in holiday
styles. People have lots of queer no.
tions about spectacles. One man had a
notion that his eyesight was rapidly
changing. He kept running to an
oculist, and had new pair of glasses
made every week for long time. The
variations in the glasses were very tri-
fling, but he thought they did him good.
There are plenty who wear glasses for
style, and have plain glass instead of
lenses. Spectacles worn for disguise
are always arranged in this way.
Then there are many who DO themselves
harm by postponing the wearing of
glasses until their eyes are injured, be-
cause they fear to be made to look old.
Pride thus puts spectacles on some folks,
and takes them off of others.
1.-THE best goods in spectacles and
eyeglasses are imported. although there
are some large factories in this country,
and much is done here by machinery.
The finest workmanship is by the
French. E
II have seen one pair of spectacles
sold for sixty-four dollars. The most
difficult job for the optician is to fit
glasses to one afflicted with stigmatism.
a disease of the eye which causes objects
to be distorted. Lenses for such. eyes
are quite irregular, and must be ground
to a different surface in almost every
part, so as to correct the vision. A
person with ordinary vision looking
through such a pair of glasses would
see straight lines curved and regular
forms distorted The grinding OF the
glasses is q very difficult and delicate
operation. IN T. sam.

Spring Silks.

For the earliest spring silks those
with shaded grounds of gros grain or
os satin are shown. These have two
contrasting colors changing on the
finely repped ground, or else upon q
sian figures or flowers brocaded in re-
| eff upon them; porcelain blue is shot
with coral t.nts, moss green with faded
blue, maroon with lilac or with beige,
and dark blue with dull red. Ottoman
repped silks are not largely represented
in spring importations, according to a
well-known fashion writer, as these are
not handsome unless of too heavy
weight for warm-weather dresses, and,
moreover, their durability is so uncer-
tain that merchants fear to commend
them. Velvet figures of small sizes on
satin grounds will be chosen for Easier
toilets that are partly of plain satin in
the stylish gray-brown and maroon
shades, and correspondents who have
made inquiries about such dresses are
advised that their choice lies between
the satin grounds or else the small
repped fables that have satin luster.
For still later in the season surahs will
be used either with silk or satin finish,
and in plain grounds, as well as those
with small figures. For summer
maptles, visites, shoulder-capes, and
also for parts of dresses, there are
gauze velours or velvet-6gured grena-
dimes, not in black Cnly, but in the
gray and dull red shades that have
been used for wraps this winter. Beige
aud brown shades will also be consid-
cred stylish in these thick and thin
fabrics. Black gauze mantles will
again be made up over colored satin
surah Innings. especially of red. laven-
der, or gray shades. For entirely black
dresses for the early spring the hand
soonest satins are being provided for the
greater part of the dress, to be en-
riched by vest and skirt front of

Tilden Declines.

Hon Samuel j. Tilden, of New York,
has written letter declining nomi-
nation for the Presidency by the DEM
ocrats. 1t was generally conceded
that he would be rendered the nomina
tion at the coming National Convention
of that party, that meets in Chicago
on July 8. And it was generally con-
ceded by the Republicans that he was
the strongest man they could nominate
The question, whether or not he would
accept the nomination now, has been
discussed pro and con among the
the Democrats for a year or more past.
His i'll health it was alleged on the one
side would prevent him, while on the
other it was alleged he would accept if
the nomination was rendered him.
Thus the matter was an open one. He
now settles it by his letter giving, as his
reason his bad health. This may be
all so, but we incline to the view that
the recent nomination of Blaine bv the
Republicans has had something to do
with the declination of Mr.. Tilden
We gave it as our opinion lately that if
Blaine was nominated Tilden would re-
fuse to be the candidate against him.
And so it has come Mr., Tilden was
the Democratic candidate eight years
ago, 1876, when Hayes was declared
elected, and although fraud was then
alleged, and 1880 would have been the
time to test public opinion on that
question, yet Mr. Tilden declined the
nomination of 1880. Now he declines
again, and it has thrown the Democrats
into great confusion, as to who they
shall nominate.

Death Of Benjamin r. Bradford

Hon. Benz. r. Bradford died at his
residence in New Brighton, Beaver
County, Pa, on the evening of June
8, 1884, at the age of II years and 9
months.
Mr.. Bradford was well known to
many of our citizens, having married
in this place and having transacted bus
mess with many of our people. His
wife, now widow, was Miss Margaret
Compbell, sister to James G. Campbell,
ESQ.,, and Mr.. William Campbell, Sr.,
and Mrs. Eleanor Cunningham, all yet
living. He was born in Philadelphia
and moved to the western part of the
State as the agent of a very large land
estate, the business of which he always
performed to the satisfaction of all
dealing with him. He was noted for
his interest in all charitable and
benevolent works. In church work
particularly he was prominent and use
full. He was Director of the Presby-
terian Western Theological Seminary
and frequently delegate to the Gen
eral Assembly Of that church. He also
took an active part Gin the political af-
fairs of the State. In 1854 he was the
candidate for Governor on the Ameri-
can ticket, and subsequently for Lieu
tenant Governor on the Prohibition
ticket. His reputation in all respects
was excellent and through his whole
life he was recognized as consistent
Christian and Jealous worker in all
good objects. He leaves widow and
several children behind him. The
cause of his death, we learn, was from
a tuner in his right side, from which
he suffered for the past three months.

The Milk in the COcoanut.

The opposition to Mr.. Blaine, on the
part of the handful of pretended Re-
publican newspapers that are dissatis-
fed with the work of the Chicago Con-
vention, is professedly on grounds
personal to Mr.. Blaine. They criti-
else his record and assail his reputa-
ton. This is mere pretext, as their
own admissions and conduct show.
The New York Times, which is the
chief Of the dissatisfied pretended Re-
publicans, and the New York Evening
Past, which leads the list, have been
the foremost and loudest in their attacks
on Mr. Blaine, yet it was evident
from the first that both these papers
would have bolted any ticket which 1t
was possible to nominate. 1t was not
the candidates but the principles of the
party which were obnoxious to those
two papers, and the same can be said
of the remainder of the boiling Jour-
mails. The trouble lies in the tariff
