Odd EuriaIR,

Not long E.,o there died in a north
London suburb Il lady who wished to
he buried i'll the Gt o!stead in which she
had lain continuously for nearly a
quarter of century prior to her de-
cease. and to insure. as she thought,
her wishes being respected she left
plump contingent legacy to a relative.
AS the bedstead in question. however,
was of the old -four post" variety, and
an unusually massive specimen at that,
the cemetery authorities objected.
Eventually a compromise was effected.
The bedstead was taken to pieces, and
from the timber so obtained a sort Of
box coffin was constructed for the re-
ception of the remains.
1t is, however, among the mining
population that instances of funeral &C.
centricity are most common. Jack
Hustler, coal newer of Tong, near
Leeds, who died the other day at the
age Of 81, was buried in a coffin con-
structed to his own specification 20
years ago. 1t was made Of pitch pine,
with silver handles, and the lid was
hinged at one end. The deceased was
buried with lump of coal which he
had carefully preserved for years. 1t
served as his pillow, and his tobacco
and pipe also found place beside him.
This latter custom is said to be very
prevalent among the coal miners. The
tin miners of Cornwall almost invari-
ably include an umbrella among the
coffin "furniture"
1t would be interesting to learn the
origin and significance of this strange
use.-London Express.

GLASSES FOR THE EYES.
The Reason They Are Worn by 90
Many Persons Nowadays.


The question is often asked, particu-
larry by those who can recall the Gus
toms and experiences Of % years ago.
Why do so many persons nowadays
wear ~glassesg' The answer is easy.
''The increase in the number of spec
tacles worn is not TO be regarded as
an evidence Of modern degeneration
of the eyes, but rather that a long felt
necessity has been met" For it should
be remembered that within the past
quarter OF a century much has been
learned about the value Of glasses, and
the range of their application and use
fulness has been enormously extended.
OF curse the eyes need more help now
than formerly. as the amount Of work
they are required to DO is much greater
than at any previous period in the
| worlds history. The sewing machine
and many other inventions OF It's class
save the labor of the hands only 10
add 10 that required OF the eyes.
New employments. new anusements
and new fashions are continually be-
ing introduced to increase the eTac-
tons laid upon these sensitive and
delicate organs. The steady decrease

the eyes and to weaken or possibly de-
stroy the sight unless the required all

happens that the some time luxury of
