The example set by the more fervent
Woodworthites has stirred up a big rush
for the mountaina. Yesterday and the
day before the departures took more the
form of an organized exodus than ever
before. Those who left earlier quietly
went aboard the trains separately,
one, or Feasibly two families to a party.
A great many went in this way, and it
was yesterday estimated that frilly. 800
people bad left their hems. Not a single

ception of short trousers and clogs, but ib

The Coat of Tying Shoestringii.
One of the managers of a big Eastern
khitting mill has made a calculation that
the shoestrings of a working girl will Come
untied on the average three times per diem,
and that a girl will lose about 50 seconds
every tune she stoops to retie them, Most
of the employees have two feet, so this
entails a loss of 300 seconds every day for
each girl. There are about 400 girls em-
ployed in this factory, and therefore the
gentleman finds that 43,000,000 seconds are
wasted in the comps of a year, which time,
at the average rate of wages, is worth
4943 174. Orders have accordingly been
issued that gide must wear only buttoned
shoes or Congress gaiters under penalty of
disoharge.
