ROBERTS 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 oorgenital, but is often caused by im- properly fittedglasses. Many school. .children with this defect are called stupid, but with properly fitted Tlasses they may become the brightest of scholars. his is quite a common and dangerous defect. Hyper- metropia is a malformation which keeps the ciliary u-useie in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it is at rest when looking at a distance. This defect, if neglected, mry 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 increese of the defect, and perhaps ulti- mate blindness. Presbyopia is a loss of accommoda- tion in the eye, which may cause cataract unless con- A rected by art,fic•aal aid. Frequently nervous or sick headaches, and also serious ilinees, are brought on by cne or more of the t.bovo defecte. Remember, no charge for testing your eyes. J.

VALUE IN POUNDS OF SOME OF LON- •DON'S GREAT PLACES. The Underground Railway at 11111IO an Inch—The Bank of England—Immense Riches Represented In Museums, Art .Galleries, Churches and Bridge,. "Have you ever thought what Lon- don is worth?" remarked a valuer' to the writer the other day, "and Will you believe me when I tell yon that all the money in the world piled up in one enormous heap would not buy the treas- ures on which Londoners niay.gaze at will every day of their lives?" j There was "copy" in the idea, and I took my valuer friend round London on valving intent. We came to, town on the under- ground. "Two thousand yards of this railway," said my friend, "cost £2,- 0001000, or, if you like to have it so, £80 an inch. 11 you wanted to buy this bit now, you would probably be asked R5,000,000 for it. There is another mile on the same line which would cost you something like £2,000,000, having cost a third of a million to lay down. But that is comparatively moderate.If the electric;railway were put up to auction and you were fortunate to get it at cost price, you would need the wealth of seven millionaires -to buy it. These 3;4 miles of railway are worth quite 212,� 000,000 as prices go nowadays. Gf "Get out at this station and look at the monument. You would not buy it for £20, 000. In five minutes you will be at the Mansion House, which cost a mere £70, 000 to build, but is now worth nearer £750,000, The Royal Exchange, as a building of bricks and mortar, is worth £200,000, but it stands on land worth 22,000,000. Not long - ago land in this neighborhood was sold at the rate of £2,000,000 an acre. "The Bank of England would prob- ably fetch £4,000,.000 in the market, but as there is always £20 000, 000 worth of gold in the cellars its standing valve is about £24.000,000. Go west- ward over Holborn viaduct and remem- ber that that short stretch of highway is worth over £2, 000, 000. You world want nearly £2,00c,000 to buy the gen- eral postoffice, Which you have just passed, and the law courts,' with the land on which they stand, are worth £2,500,000. - "Walk along the Strand and stand for five minutes on_ Waterloo bridge. The property you see here would make -dozens of your friends millionaires at a stroke. Two million pounds would not buy those two hotels, and Somerset House, at building cost only, is good for £600x000. The bridge you are standing on was'a disastrous failure when it was built, but it is worth now more than the £1,000,000 which it originally cost. There are seven bridges on either side of you, which cost between them over £4,000,000. The tunnels underneath the river are worth millions as a com- mercial property, and the embankment is now worth probably double the £2,- 000,000 which it cost to make "If St. Paul's were private p operty, you might induce the owner t sell it for £10,000,000, but the likelihood is very remote. Those tattered banners which you have seen so often would arouse pretty keen bidding at the sales, and if you got one for £10, 000 you might think yourself extremely lucky. West- minster abbey is difficult to valve. It is one of those things that cannot be bought, but the sales give us some idea what historic treasures are worth in the market, and I should not be surprised if the abbey—put up in lots—realized £50,000,000. Fancy putting a ticket on Jacob's pillar or the royal tombs! "You have admired the magnificent exterior of the houses of parliament and the splendid interior, but you will per- haps bo surprised to know that you could not erect these buildings today for £5,- 000,000. St. Thomas' hospital, and the Albert embankment running along the front of it, are worth together over £1, 000,000, and the bridge leading to it cost £260,000. "Perhaps you have never reflected what a privilege you enjoy in being able to visit so many places free. The British museum, which anybody can sea for nothing, could not be bought up by all the millionaires in America. If it were absolutely empty, it would be worth £1,600,000, and itis full of price- less treasures, one collection alone be- ing worth nearly £250,000. The Na- tional gallery is worth•millions. It cost, with the new Tate gallery section, 2350,000 to build, and has one picture which cost £14 au inch and 38 others which cost £1,700 apiece. "The Albert hall and Royal aquarium are each worth about £250,000, but the Crystal palace cost more than three times the value of both these, the bill for the palace being 21,600,000. Earl's court, the great show rivaling the pal- ace, has millions' worth of treasures which you can see for. 1 shilling, and even when it is empty the 25 acres of gardens and buildings are worth £300,- 000. "The hotels and public houses of London -could not be bought up for £20,- 000,000, to say nothing of the land on which they stand. Two of them pay £450 a week between them in ground. rent. Buckingham palace is not very gorgeous, but it is worth £4,000,000 as' it stands, and if you wanted to rent it privately you would have to pay £4,000 a week for it. Devonshire House and Lansdowne House, in Piccadilly, would cost you £1, 000, 000, but you would not expect the picture galleries thrown in at this price. They aro worth hundreds of thousands.

FOR AND CURED. LITTLE SICK.CHILDREN Sh.or t Sketch of the Work Done by the Great Mother Nurse— The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto. From every county in the great Pro- vince of Ontario children are admitted free into the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren at, Toronto, whenever their par- ents cannot; -'afford to pay. And few of the poor little sufferers who are nursed and cared for have iricb parents, it would seem. Last year the expense of the Hospital was near- ly $30,000. And to meet this but $1,3.5 was received from pay patients. The balance . must come from the more fortunate folks,- who are charit- able and generous. The Hospital for Sick Children is the largest of its kind in the wwrld—with- out exception. There are 209cots. The average number of patients; is 100 per day; 476 were nursed in the Hospital this year -312 little ones Were cured - and departed with health; strength and sturdy limbs. In the dispensary department medi- cine was given to 4,133 children. Thus nearly 5,000 ~children were treated in one year. A great record of good. In twenty-two years some 24,000 sick! children have ,been nursed and cared for by the Hospital for Sick Children. `• Where do the little patients come from ? From all parts of the province—in 1897 there were patients received from i these places: --Arthur, Banda, Berrie Bedford Park, Belleville, Bradford, , Brampton, . Brighton, Brockville, Brooklin, Carney, Cartwright, Coiling- wood, Corbetton . Davisville,; Doncaster,' Bagleton, East Toronto, Eldorado, Elm- j vale, Ennis, Esquesing, Ewan, Fox -1 mead, Frankford, Gananoque, George -1 Gravenhurst, Green River, Ham- ilton, Hampton Mills, Humber Bay, Huttonville, Invermay, Lambton Mills, Lime Lake, Listowel, Little Current, . formed that if anyone knows of any sick child under fourteen years of age, who is suffering from accident or dis- ease, and whose parents cannot afford to pay for proper medical 'or surgical assistance—they are asked to communicate with the Hospital for Sick Children. There is room for such children in the Hospital. They will be nursed, cared for, and in all probability, cured. . There is a debt of $70,000 hanging ° over the institution, $20,000 of which is 1 for debts which must be paid at once. requires no less;- ithan five executive officersEven, with the strictest eoonomy it 24 nurses and 20 domestics to • carry on • the work of the Hospital. Twenty-five more children could be takenattendancaretsof with the same number of The work of the Hlaspital is ever in- I creasing. Its doors ars wide open to every ailing child in the province. Such a work should have a million friends in Ontario. If each friend could spare a . dollar—what a rich en- dowment with' wt+-ch,to carry on the work. But the trustees only ask for 520,000 —a sum which they are required to pay before the end of January. Everyone can help. • The need is most pressing. - - The appeal is the appeal of poor, weak, - suffering childhood, of little, wan -faced babies and children who lie on beds of pain.

In some in- stances friends of the little sufferers make application on behalf of parents who are poor,' but independent and self-reliant. It generally falls to the lot of the chairman of the Hospital Trust to de- cide when there is a question of abil- ity to pay. One day, about a year ago, this gentleman was driving towards the city of Brockville, and while pass- ing a school -house the scholars rq.shed out 'in eager haste for the fifteen amin- utes of joy they crowd into recess. Mr. Robertson smiled as the young- sters passed him; but the smile van- ished when he observed in the rear a little a chap who was bobbling along on crutches, happy but crippled. One of his legs was bent at the knee to a right angle. © The carriage was stopped, and the little fellow palled. "My boy, how did you injure your leg so badly ?" was the enquiry. (rhe lad explained that- he had met with a mishap one day while chopping wood; that he had been treated in an eastern hospital for some time; that his leg had been straightened, but bad again become useless. His parents and schoolfellows 'looked' upon him at a cripple for life. • And so he might have been. "How, would you like to have your ;. leg straightened for -good?" asked the • Hospital chairman, who - knew of the complete cure effected at the great Toronto institution in similar cases. "Well, mister, there is nothing I would like better," said the boy. He was assisted into the carriage, and told to direct the driver to his father, who had r a blacksmith shop near by. The boy was one of a fam- ily of., seven childjren. Most gladly slid the father give his consent to the child's re- moval to the Hospital for treatment. s, The little deformed lad thus - for- t tunately met on the highway n ar Brockville is a cripple no- longer. ..is leg is stiff, but it is straight. He re- mained in the Hospital for m +iy months. But it was a joyous ho e - coming when the boy walked firmly and straight without the aid of stick or crutches. This is a single case. Thousands of cases might be cited. The.editor of this leaner has been in - pressed and - down -trodden, who ap- pealed to every human heart, when he said : "The two grim nurses—poverty and sickness—who bring these children before you, preside over their births, rock their wretched cradles, and nail down their coffins." In this enlightened Canada of ours— this bright Province of Ontario—this shall not be as long as the doors of the Hospital for Sick Children remain open. Help remove that mortgage: Help unload, that load of debt. IN ALIODF TIIE 'CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. Matthew xxv. 40.
