Having taken a course of studies at the Detroit Optical Institute, is prepared to fit all defects of vision, Astigmatism, Hypermetropia, Myopia, Presbyopia, or any compound defect. Astigmatism is due to irregular shape of the eye, and is usually congenital, but is often caused by im- properly,fitted glasses. Many school children with this defect are called stupid, but with properly fitted glasses,they may become the brightest of scholars. This 1s quite a common and dangerous defect. Hyper- metropia is a malformation which keeps: the ciliary muscle in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it is at rest when looking at a distance. This defeot, if neglected, mgy result in nervous depression and pain, and even prostration. Myopia is a diseased condition of the eye, which should be very carefully fitted to prevent an increase of the detect, and perhaps ulti- mate blindness. Presbyopia is a loss of accommoda- tion in the eye, which may cause cataract unless cor- rected by artificial aid. Frequently nervous or sick headaches, and also serious illness, are brought on by one or more of the above defects. Remember, no charge for testing your eyes. J. S.

The tfollowing letter to the Landon Times tells a rather interestiug-expe- rieuce and is a good illustration of the way Englishmen write to that paper about all sorts of topics: To the Editorr-of the Times: Slit—A curious parallel to your correspond- ent hfr._ 'Wicks' exorcism of the ghost that. haunted -the house at Reber occurred some few years ago in an old Oxfordshire mansion, of Which friends of my own had recently become possessed,. Soon after the new owner's arrival the , ew some discovery was made that on the $� ri upper floor, containing the servants' apart- ments and the children's nurseries, there was s, chamber which had long been known as haunted and in which no one could ever be in- duced to sleep. By daylight it was a pleasant, sonny room, but to be in it at night, so every occupant declared, was enough to chill the very marrow is one's bonds. No sooner was the hemi.} A11 quiet, doors and windows shut and nnillar':is near chiming from the chtii'oh tower, taw Atcange sounds, heard nowhere else, be- gan to fill the haunted room. Weird music broke the silence, now sweet and soft and love- ly as a dream, then swelling into wild confu- sion, then dying away in long drawn roans of infinite distress. Nothing was ever seen, but there was no delusion as to the sounds. It was no use putting a new servant, ignorant of the facts, tozpleep there. Midnight was sure to make the secret known. Those moans, as of a soul Iii pain, so it was steadily affirmed, pro Deeded from no human visitant. The room was haunted and it was not to be expected that any one would sleep in company with a ghost. ]illy friend, the mistress' of the house, was a woman of great nerve and common sense. She needed the room for household use and she re- ', solved to lay -the ghost. Accordingly she had it made ready for occupation and after a care- ful examination of everything in the apart- ment prepared to spend the night in it herself. The tales were quite true. Toward midnight, when all was still, the ghostly music began to quiver through the silence, sveeet "and wild and exquisitely sad. My friend listened, not quite guijtless perhaps of tremors Then she rose and examined the room carefully afresh. Pres- ently it struck her that the sonnda proceeded from one corner of the Soor. She lifted the rug, put her ear down and found it tb be the esp. She had located the ghost, it it was not fail. Next morning a carpenter was sent for, the boards were taken u aril immediately be- neath there was reveal a4 a perfect plexus of bell wires, which had. n conducted by this rotate to the different parts of the house. When and windows were all closed and every- ing still at night, the wind, finding its way by what -channel it Could, turned this laby- rinth of wires into an molian harp, whence burned the mysteriona sounds by whieh suc- cessive households had been seared. The wfres were adjusted, the chinks and crannies closed up, the ghost was laid and the haunted room has been comfortably occupied ever since. The undersigned would beg to say to the public generally, that they have their mill running now full bleat, every day and all day, and are prepared to do custom work on the shortest notice, and guar- antee satisfaction.

The Magnet In Surgery. The following remarkable account of the extraction of a needle from tho body by means of a magnet is given by Cosmos: "A young laundress thrust a broken needle into her right hand While wash- ing clothes. The needle having disap- peared in the flesh, the surgeon who was consulted several days after the ac- cident refused to perform an operation, fearing lest he should be obliged to make a large number of incisions among the ligaments of the articulation. Two months afterward the girl lost the wet of her right hand, and the least move- ment of the fingers caused her exquisite pain. Drs. Gorinewaki and Cereetin then determined to extract the needle with the aid of a magnet, drawing it into a fleshy region where an incision could be made without danger. To cause this movement they chose a very feeble electro magnet, but a diffionity arose. The needle having entered point first, it would have to be drawn out backward, the broken part in advance. "The first trial lasted two hours, with short intervals of rest, without appreciable results. Before the •third ttial the girl said that she felt a prick- ing in the palm of the hand near the place where the magnet had been ap- plied and where the needle ought to ap- pear. At the ninth sitting finally the needle appeared beneath the skin and came out whole, broken end first, with- out pain and without loss of blood. It fixed itself to the pole of the electro magnet, and the young laundress was cured. This result—the drawing of a needle through the flesh—is very re- markable. In 20 hours after the first Wel this needle was extracted from the inside of the hand, after lying there more than two months. "--Translation For Literary Digest.

D -OED THE PECULIARITIES OF THIS WORD. No Name on Earth So Famous - No Name More Widely Imi- tated. No name on earth, perhaps, is so well known, more peculiarly constructed or more widely imitated than the word DODD. It possesses a peculiarity that makes it stand out prominently and fastens it in the mem- ory. It contains four letters, but only two letters of the alphabet. Everyone knows that the first kidney remedy ever patented or sold in pill form was named DODD'S. Their discovery startled the medical pro- feetsion the world over, and revolutionized the teeatment of kidney diseases. No imitator has ever succeeded in con- structing a name po.sessing the peculiarity of DODD,' though they nearly all adopt names as similar as possible in sound and eonatruotion to this. Their foolishness pre- vents them realizing that attempts to imi- tate increase the fame of Dodd's Kidney Pills. Why is the name, "" Dodd's Kidney Pills" imitated ? As well ask why are diamonds and gold imitated. Because diamonds are the moat precious gems, gold the most precious metal. Dodd's Kidney Pills are imitated because they are the most valuable medicine the world has ever known. No medicine was ever named kidney pills till years of medical research gave Dodd's Kidney Pills to the world. No medicine ever cured Bright's disease except Dodd's Kidney Pills. No other medicine has cured as many cases of Rheumatism, Diabetes, Heart . Disease, Lumbago, Dropsy, Female Weakness, and other kidney diseases, as Dodd's Kidney Pills have. It universally known that they have never failed to cure these diseases, hence they are so widely and shamelessly imitated. - Writes Letters to Himself. John Beckwith, the warehouseman, received a letter the other day address- ed in a round business hand and bearing the Oakland postmark, He glanced at it, rubbed his . forehead reflectively a moment and then, without opening the envelope, tore it into bits. " Why did you do that?". asked his partner. "That might have contained something of importance." "No, it didn't. I wrote it myself." "Are you in. the habit of writing let- ters to yourself?" "Yes, I have to. Now, if I hadn't written that yesterday and mailed it I would have forgotten that bunch of braid, two dozen pearl buttons and five yards of haircloth that I have got to go down town and buy right now. Once, though, I wrote a letter to myself about something I wanted to remember and forgot to mail it for two weeks. --San Francisco Post. - - His (food Reason.

SOME PRACTICAL HINTS AS TO HOW NOT TO ram' CATCH THEM. A German professor once wrote a long treatise with a learned title on how to avoid catching cold. After tracing she history of colds from the earliest ages, studying their causes and symptoms, and cataloguing the remedies which have been used by the most eminent physicians of all times, he conclud- ed with a short chapter on prevention. Hie plan was to inure the back of the neck to draughts by having some one direct a current of air upon it from a `bellows three times a day. The writer had the correct idea, although its practical application was clumsy, and he was a long time in reaching it. The best and only way to escape colds is to meet the causes that produce them, and not to run from. them. Let the body be hardened by a cold sponge bath, or even a cold plunge, followed by a brisk rubbing with a "scratchy" towel, every morning. Let the clothing be adapt- ed to the season, though always as light as possible, but keep the neck uncovered—no turned up coat collar, no muffler, no .boa. Never let the temperature in the house rise above 70 degrees in the winter. Air every room systematically every day, no matter what the out -door temperature may be. Always have fresh air in the bedroom ; there is nothing poisonous in " night air," popular belief to the contrary notwith- standing. In a word, don't be afraid of catching cold ; don't coddle, but meet_ cold and wet and changes of temperature like a man—or rather like ashorse, and you will then run a better chalice of being as strong as a horse. Of course, you must strengthen your armor where it is weak, but if you recognize in yourself a weak place, a "cold spot," don't cover - it - up with more clothes, but toughen it, and toughen yodr entire body until it is one homogeneous resistant whole. —Youth's Companion. • FORMER DUELS. lime of the Famous Affairs of Honor of the Past. General' Benedict Arnold fought a duel near Kilburn Wells in 1791 with Lord Lauderdale, who, after Arnold missed him, refused either to fire or to apologize, saying that if the general was not satisfied he could keep on firing until he was. In -1804 the turbulent Lord Camelford, the Symmetrical ar- rangement of whose whips and sticks ever his chimneypiece is described by Byron, "From the thick bludgeon to the taper switch, )/ lost his life in a duel he owed to a vengeance de femme. Captain Best had - caught - a sharper named Symonds in the act of cheating and kicked his face to a pulp. The man's wife wrote Camelford an anony- mous letter to tell him his friend Best had slandered him. A duel was fought with pistols (they were the two best shots in ' England),, and Camelford fell with a mortal wounds "You have killed me, Best, said the dying man, "but the fault is wholly mine. I relieve you of all the blame." But men of mature years and established reputation risked life as recklessly as the wildest young guardsmen or London rakes. Charles James Fox fought a duel with a cabinet minister, Mr. Adam, in 1779_ Four shots were exchanged. Adam missed, Fox fired in the air and apolo- gized. "Sir, " said Adam, "you have behaved like a man of honor. " In India, toward the end of the last century, a duel was fought between Warren Had. ings and Sir Philip Francis, the latter being dangerously wounded. Shortly afterward, in Bombay, Lord Macartney and Mr. Sadler quarreled at the counoil board, and in the duel Macartney re- ceived a dangerous wound. The Earl of Talbot and John Wilkes, fighting a duel at night in the garden of the Red Lion inn, . at Bagshot, and discussing the conditions of it beforehand is a private room over a chop, is a tableau de mceurs. George Canning was seriously wound- ed when he and Castlereagh met flit Put- ney in 1807 to exchange four mots. In the duel between Henry Grattan and Mr. Corry a bullet shattered the latter's arm: As late as 1835 Mr. - Roebuck fought a duel with Mr. Black of The Morning Chronicle, when two shots were exchanged without result. The lightingparson was then as well known as the ghting editor. The Rev. Henry Bate, editor of The Morning Post, was both. A dead shot, and with what his contemporaries call "a profligate tongue, " he was most successful as a duelist. He "pinked" "Fighting Fitz- gerald," a Mr. Temple, a young barris- ter. •who was his assistant editor, and several others, but met his match at last in Captain Stoney Robinson, who gave him a severe wound, but whom he also wounded.-Cornhlll Magazine.

" Yes," said the principal of the young ladies' seminary to the proud parent, " you ought to be very happy, my dear sir, to be the father of so large a family, all the mem- bers of which appear to be 0-o devoted to one another." " Large family ? Devoted'?" gasped the old gentleman in amazement. "• What on earth do you mean, ma'am ?" '1 Why, yea, indeed," said the principal, beaming through her glasses.

The Number Thirteen. The superstition that 13 is unlucky, which is traced back to a sacred source, meets with as many contradictions as confirmations. The fact that the horri- ble fire in the Paris bazaar started at booth 18 was telegraphed all around -the world, whereas little notice is attractee$ by Nansen's success with 18 men. At one time 9 was a dreaded number in England, owing to ,the dynastic disas- ters to all monarchs second of their name from Ethelred II to George LI. Yet Napoleon's number through all his life was 2, and who could wish for better luck than came to Goody Two Shoes or than that which results at times from having two strings to your bow? Three, which since the days of -Py- thagoras has been the divine number, shows that it . is not invariably fortu- nate, for, though the fates are three, so also are the furies. The graces are three, but so also are the judges in hades and the heads of Cerberus. Then there are the records of three disloyal tribes in Welsh history; there are the three. - robbers in Orion's belt; there were the three tyrants at Athens, and 3 in mythology is as unlucky as it is divine. Just so clearly as it has been shown in time that the unlucky 2 can be 'lucky andthat the pleasant 8 can be unpleasant the followers of the late Captain Fowler would show that the unlucky 18 can be the luckiest number there is. So we may as well regret his departure, while we wish success to his associates.—Boston Jour- naL —Joseph Walsh, of the firm ofd Walsh Bros., Stratford, who has been very serious- ly ill for some time past, underwent a deli- cate operation a short time ago. The physi- cians who performed it were Drs. D. B. Fraser, J. P. Rankin and W. G. Walker. Mr. Walsh has now, recovered from the shock of the operation and is doing nicely. —George McCallum, of North Easthope, has returned from his trip to the North- west, where he has spent the last two or three months. The holiday was mostly spent in the vicinity of Silver - Creek, which district he considers the' best in the west, 4, His Authority. Daniel Webster's oratory was not al- ways of the ponderous order. Occasion- ally he would introduce abit of humor very effectively, an instance of ,which The Green Bag gives as follows: Daniel Webster when in full practice was " employed to defend the will of Roger Perkins of Hopkinton. A physi- cian made affidavit that the testator was struck with death when . he signed the will. Webster subjected his testimony to a most th.orongh examination, show- ing by quoting medical authorities that doctors disagree as to the precise mo- ment when a dying . man is struck with death, some affirming that it is at the commencement of the disease, others at Vs climax and others still affirm that we begin to die as soon as we are born. "I should like to know," said the op- posing counsel, "what doctor maintains that theory?" "Dr. Watts," said Mr. Webster, with great dignity. "The moment we begin to live we all begin to die.

FOREST, Ont.,Oct. 12th, 1897. ' THE SLOAN MEDICINE CO., Dear Sirs :-- About two years ago I suf- fered from an attack of billious diarrhoea, which became ironic and threatened my existence. I used several kinds of patent medicines, and was treated by my family physician, but was not cured until I used your Sloan's Indian Tonic. It helped me at once and I continued to improve, and now enjoy perfect health. I can heartily recom- mend it to all troubled as I was, or in need of a general invigorating medicine. R. R. Dickey, J. P. Price $1, 6 for $5. All Dealers or address The Sloan Medicine Co., of Hamilton LIMITED • THE QUALITY Is the first thing to consider in Clothing. The price comes next.
