Making Spectacle Lenses

In making spectacle lenses the bit OF
glass to be formed into lens Is fas-
tened by means of pitch to a small
block Of hard rubber, so that II may be
held. 1t Is ground by being pressed
against a rapidly revolving castiron
disc on vertical spindle, and with
curvature equal and opposite TO that de-
sired In the lens. This is the trough
tool" and Is kept moistened with en-
cry and water. Several grades of en-
cry are used in succession, changing
from the coarse TO the fine as the grind
ing proceeds. The glass is then trans
ferred to the "hne tool" made Of brass,
and compared from time TO time with a
standard curve In order TO insure ac-
curacy. In this second grinding the
abrading material is rouge. Finally,
the lens is polished by being pressed
against piece Of cloth powdered with
rouge and fastened TO the rotating tool.
The glass Is now loosened from its
block, turned over, and the reverse side
of the lens ground. When this has been
accomplished the lens is placed on a
leather cushion, and held firmly In po-
sition by rubber-tipped arm, while n
diamond glass cutter passing round an
oval guide traces similar oval on the
glass below. The superfuous glass is
removed by pair Of steel pincers, and
the rough edges are ground smooth on
Scotch wheels. Young Mems Era.

Mr. BisseII Does Not Propose to Appoint
Any Editors to BE Postmasters-
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The asser-
ton that editors are not generally to
be recognized by the new administra-
ton is true. Mr.. Cleveland believes
that his predecessor suffered through
the charge Of having subsidized the
press, and he does not intend TO run the
same gauntlet The decision is also to
be made particularly applicable to
newspaper men who desire TO be post
masters in their towns
Mr.. Bissell has had the names OF some
country editors presented TO him In
connection with various post offices,
but has uniformly declined to give any
encouragement to the office-seeker he
lays down the principle that in small
towns all the utterances Of the news
paper over which the postmaster-editor
presides will be regarded as the views
Of the administration, while, on the
other hand, all praise Of Mr.. Clevslsnd's
acts will be discounted because II
emanates from the recipient Of official
favor. Therefore Mr.. Bissell does not
propose to appoint any editors to be
postmasters, and the president will OBJ
serve the same rule in disposing OF the
higher offices.

Thi, 1. Human Nature.

1t was one Of the days when the wind
blows suddenly and sharply around
corners, when the dust whirls In clouds
and the air has hard, cold dampness
which goes straight through any coat
except a fur one. Away up town on
one Of the western avenues where cheap
shops are kept on the ground floor OF
cheap fat houses, q woman stood by
window with a baby in her arms. Her
dress was shabby and 30 thin that the
wind went through It like through a
sieve. The baby had woolen frock
and q worsted coat and cap, and seemed
10 be warm enough us he burrowed
upon the woman's shoulder and dug his
sprawling little fingers into her eyes.
In the shop window were displayed two
kinds Of garments. On one side were
women's wooden petticoats and all
kinds Of heavy cotton underelothing,
which looked warm and comfortable.
But this woman did not see them, for
she was looking on the other side OF the
window, where were shown little
! knitted hoods and tppets Of white
Glossy stuff, and babies mittsns ant
babies shoes and, babies fancy caps
with ribbons in them.--N. Y. Times.

a little confusedly. He had not calcu-

and was the more disconnected rs they
were passing some of the other couples,
who had purposely fingered to overhear
them.
"And," continued the young girl,
brightly, "the freight question is get

Miranda holds some shares in the
Briggsville Branch line, and thinks
something cogld be done with the di-
rectors for new tariff of charges if
she put o pressure on them. Taylor
says there was some talk of reducing
it one sixteenth per cent. before we

was the fain,est wrinlSling of the cor
ner Of the eyclid nearest him. "lad

when she was a. baby, SO that every

she added, darlSly.

Courtland, with still greater solemnity.
"You gather the buds Of the witch

You then pluck three hairs from the

"Yo' can laugh, connie, for yo're

afraid Nanny Judy's enchan;ments

young lady"
The sound of quick footsteps on the
gravel path caused them both to look
up. A surly looking young fellow,
ostentatiously booted and spurred and
carrying heavy raw hide riding whip
IN his swinging hand, was approaching
them. Deliberately, yet with uneasy
self-consciousness, ignoring the pres
ence of Courtland, he nodded abruptly
TO Miss Reed, assembled the steps,
crushed past them both without paus-
ing, and entered the house.
"Is that yo' manners, Mr.. TomY'
sailed the young lady after him-a
slight flush rising to her sallow cheek.
The young man muttered something
from the hall which Courtland did not
catch. "It's Cousin Tom IIigbee," she
explained half disdainfully. Hes had
some ugliness with his horse, reckon
but paw ought to teach him how to
behave. And don't think he likes
no'th'n men," she added, gravely.
Courtland, who had kept his temper
with his full understanding of the in
truder's meaning, smiled as he tool

to-day fashion of yesterday. Enough
that it enabled her to set her sweet
face and vapory golden hair in horse
shoe frame OF delicate flowers and to
lift her oval chin out of the bewilder-
ing mist of tulle. Nor did certain
light pOIondiSs conceal the outlines OF
her charming figure. Even those who
were constrained TO whisper TO each
other that "Miss Sally" must "be now
going on twenty-five" did so because
she still had the slender grace Of seven
