Rani Advice to Young Artists.
"Don't give- in" was about the gist
of what Sir Wyke Bayliss said to the
English art students in a lecture at the
South Kensington museum. He told
them what ought to be their watchword:,
"Do not believe, he- said, in the in-
sidious lie that the devil is always
whispering to the soul of the artist
that thegoldenof art is past
and
age
that what was done yesterday cannot be
done today,for art is in its decadence.
encs.
Such an assertion was the danger of the
tirme, and he would have them tack it
to its source and kill it there. It had
two forms—despondency and tempts -
tion --but
empta-tion: but. he urged them not to be in-
fluenced `by either. Let their study be
based upon knowledge, the knowledge
that had accumulated during the ages
and was formulated in what was known
as academic training, and let their
knowledge in turn be based upon their -
own study."
Certainly that is the best of advice,
for what has been done before can be
done again.

holden
Having taken a course of studies at the
Detroit Optical Institute, is prepared
to fit ell defects of vision, Astigmatism,
Hypermetropia, Myopia, Presbyopia,
or any compound defeat.
Astigmatism is due to irregular shape of the eye,
and is usually congenital, but is often caused by im-
roperl fitted glasses. Many school children with
this defect are called stupid, but with properly fitted
glasses they may become the brightest of scholars.
This is quite a common and dangerous defeot. Hyper-
metropia is a malformation whlgh keepsl the ciliary
miracle in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it is
at rest when looking at s distance. This .defect, it
neglected, may result in nervoni 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 defect, and perhaps ulti-
mate blindness. Presbyopia is a loss of aoogmmoda-
tion in the eye, which may cause cataract unless cor-
rected by art°ficial aid. Frequently nervous or sick
headaches, and also serious illness, are brought on
by one or more of the chore defects. Remember,
no charge -tor seating your eyes.
