English Conservatism.

The careful and conservative spirit which
characterizes so much of the work done in
England is shown in connection with the
recent splendid piece of work, the City and
South London railway While many of
the details of the line are carried out with
the perfection of modern electrical skill,
there are some points in connection with it
which are so much behind modern prog
ress as to appear in a measure inconsistent
with the enterprise which characterizes
the rest of the work. 1t appears that the
elevators leading to the underground sta
tons are operated by hydraulic power.
There is a good deal of dissatisfaction that
electricity has not been used for this pur-
pose. Nothing could be better adapted for
working lifts than motors. and the saving
in expense would have been considerable.
Unless the elevators are balanced there
is plunger volume of high pressure water
wasted every time each hoist is used,
whereas if the motors were employed the
generator would need supply little more
than the power wasted in general friction.
Another fact which has been freely criti-
cised Is the use of an air brake where cleo
trio power is available. It has been urged
that the block system arrangements, and
the cut off of the supply from moving
train in case of necessity, are objections to
its use,
If these are obstacles they can be easily
overcome, and the special leads which sup
ply the carriage lamps could supply the
motive power for the brakes. 1t is argued
that this combination in the same plant of
hydraulic distribution. compressed air and
electric traction is somewhat anomalous

Spectacies were invented 600 years ago.
The use OF glass to aid the sight of defect
i've eyes is, however, much cider. Nero
looked through a concave glass in watch
ing the giadiatorial games, and many
otner historical men OF his day were de-
pendent on similar devices for lengthening
their sight. Till the latter part Of the
Thirteenth century only the single glass
was in use.
In 1890 the double glass was invented,
some say by Salvino degii Armati, others
by tne monk, Alexander of Spina. In the
Fourteenth century spectacles were used
quite frequently by the very wealthy and
nigh born, although they were so scarce
that they were bequeathed in wills with all
the elaborate care that marked the dispo-
sition OF ieudal estate. The holy Antonius
OF Padua, VINO preached to the fishes when
men,refused to hear him, gave to the poor,
according to the legend, not only his clothes,
but also his spectacles.
The first spectacles, which were very ex-
pensive, were made in Italy. Somewhat
later the manufacture Of cheaper glasses
sprang up in Holland, and it spread late in
the Fourteenth century to Germany Nurn-
berg and Rathenow acquired fame for their
glasses between 1890 and 1900. For many
years glasses were used only as means of
aiding bad eyes. First in Spain appeared
the fashion Of wearing glasses merely for
the sake Of wearing them. II spread rap
idly to the rest of the continent and brought
about the transformation of the old Thir-
tenth century spectacles into eyeglasses
and eventually into the monocle, ''the cos
mopolitan trademark of the dandy. New

Lead I'm T,aaea.

Phi. de Clarmont gives an account, in
LIE Moniteur de la Teinture, of a white
satin dress totally ruined by its trimming
with English lace. The dress had been
worn but once, had then been packed into
trunk which was deposited in a damp
place and exposed to emanations of hydro
sulphurio acid from gas. When taken out
it was found that the pattern of the lace.
particularly of its tulle ground, had been
printed in indelible black upon the white
satin. The accident was not difficult to
explain.
English lace is habitually charged with
sulphate of lead, which in this case alb
sorbed hydrogen and hydrosulphuric acid
from the atmosphere, forming sulphide of
lead, which had been imprinted and fixed
upon the white satin, which naturally had
also absorbed hydrogen and hydrosulphu-
ric acid. The seller of the lace showed
that charging English lace with white
lead (sulphate of lead) was commercial
usage, and thereby escaped paying the
damage An Objectionable usage it is at
any rate, as the absorption Of lead through
the skin from such lace may become dan
gerous to health.

Playing cards in Alabama.

Burr Mcintosh, the actor and quondam
Newspaper man, relates funny anecdote.
"About year ago our company was de-
layed several hours at a little way station
in Alabama near Birmingham. Several of
the party, including one of the ladies, sug-
gested quiet game of hearts to pass
away the time. There were absolutely no
signs of civilization about the place except
ing an old COW and a pig grazing quietly
near by, but we hadn't been playing five
minutes when a big, burly fellow came
along swinging club and pompously
said, You are all under arrest!' We
thought he was joking, and paid no atten-
ton to him until he repeated the remark,
when one of the party did consent to say
'Ratsp
''But the deputy sheriff, or whatever he
was, wouldn't have it. He arrested us all,
even the lady, although we protested that
the game was for fun and not money, and
took us before the mayor who fined us
81 each and then tackled on costs enough to
make 1t SO, I got even with the sheriff
few days later on our return by throwing
bottle of ink all over him as our train
passed the station, but | never again at

BESSIE BLAIRE.

Sweet Bessie Blaire was maiden fair,
With footsteps light and free
As ever kept time to the merry chime
OF joyous minstrelsy.
Her golden hair, in tresses rare,
Ripped over a brow of snow,
And thence with CLEAN like stray sunbeam
Shimmered down On her neck below.
Her eyes were blue as the azure hue
Of dew spangled violet bed;
And their cleaning light as radiant bright
AS the starlight overhead.
Her voice was low as the murmuring flow
OF little singing brook,
That softly glides through flower fringed sides
OF some shady, moss grown nook.
Many an hour in her rose twined bower
Have sat in blissful dream,
Watching the play Of the roseate ray
Athwart her fair cheek CLEAN.
There, with dropping eye, downcast and shy,
She placed her hand in mine
And said, "In the spring, when the wild birds
sing,
Dearest love, will be thine.'
The spring came in vain, for the April rain
Fell cold on the fresh laid sod
Where sweet Bessie fay-for her souls bright
ray,
Had returned to its maker, God
I'm an old man now, with careworn brow
Yet it seemed but yester cen
That sat by the side of my promised bride
Meath the moonlight's silvery sheen.

Unusual Printing,

While there are doubtless many printing
presses in existence that would fulfill a
more useful mission if transformed into
road rollers, still it has fallen to the lot of
q newspaper in Middlesborough, England,
to make the first adaptation of steam
road roller to printing purposes. and it was
with such a unique machine that The
Northeastern Daily Gazette printed an edi-
ton of $4,000 copies. The motive power of
The Gazette office is a gas engine, but on
the day in question an accident to the gas
works suddenly cut off the supply of gas
A. gang of workmen were hastily OBJ
tanned from neighboring establishment,
and heavy iron plates were laid in the yard
adjoining the printing room, in the walls
of which a large opening was made. A
fifteen ton steam roller was then pushed
into the press room, shored up and belted
to the shafting, and an hour after the
usual time of going to press the presses
were started and the entire edition was
run off without a hitch. = Newcastle

In the book entitled Famous English
Authors of the Nineteenth Century,"
Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton gives some facts in
regard to the instant popularity of the
poem "Marmion,' by Sir Walter Scott.
In less than month after ''Marmion"
was published the first edition of 1000
copies was sold. It went rapidly through
many editions. The people read and re-
read it. The following story told by Hut
ton is not at all improbable:
Two strangers met ON dark night in
London. Both were repeating the last
lines of the account of Flodden Field.
One man exclaimed "Charge, Chester,
charge" when suddenly reply came
out of the darkness ''On, Stanley, onw

LONDON, July E.-FAssociated Press,
Copyrighted lssi. Nothing has recently
excited inner Conservative circles so much
as Lord salisbury's declaration that fe-
male suffrage ought 10 form part OF the
coming electoral reforms. A council of
the Conservative Association, at an infor-
MAJ meeting to-day, decided 10 intimate TO
Lord Salisbury that the party was so d.

he himself had attended during Lord
Granville's lifetime. Whether the motion
was inspired by sheer crankiness or by
malice Lord Denman was not allowed
10 explain. for Lord Salisbury, interposing,
said the motion could only be described as
unseemly. He moved that Lord Dennan
should not be heard during the remainder
OF the session. Lord Kimberly concurred
and Lord Salisbury's motion was agreed
