ROBERTS Having taken a course lof 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 ehape 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 tided giasses they may become the brightest of scholars. This is quite a common and dangerous defect. Hy uer- rnetrepia is a malformation which keeps the rrusole in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it is at reet when looking at a distance. This detect, if neglected, ma y 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 tbe defect, and perhaps ul- i• mate blindness. Presbyopia ia a loss of accommoda- tion in the eye, which may canee oataract unless cor- rected by tut ficial min. Frsquently nervous or siz:k headaches, and also serious illness, are brought on by cne or more of the above defecte. Thomember, tharge for testing your eyee.

The Tramp Red Sandstone Howlder of the New Jersey Mountains. • Countless thousands of years ago vast stretches of glecial deposits came Slid- ing across the state of New Jersey, ;mounted the Palisades, Rushed their way across the Hudson rrver, sconred over Manhattan Island and slid Out into the Atlantic ocean, whither they disin- tegrated and stink into the deep or per- haps glided on to. the other shore. But in their onward march these glacier/5 left indestructible evidence of their grinding stride, and today all along the palisades the trap rooks and bowlders ere worn smooth where the Mountains of ice and land passed over them. In some rooks are deep scratches, all ,pointing eastward and showing which way the glaoial deposits drifted. There is the evidence, mute, but Judie: putable. To the careful observer there are numberless other evidences of the pres- ence of glacial influences -in the mit, tett none is more coneincing than the tramp bowlder that has finally settled down in the woods in the heart of En- glewood borough. There it sits, a tow- ering mass of rock weighing perhaps 200 tons and resting upon three points which in themselves lind a purohase on flat rook that is part of _and common to the character of rook which emptiest the palisades, But, . strangely mous* and . to the wonderment of geologists, the tramp bowlder is red sandstone from the Jereey hills" 26 ntiles inland, and the pedestal is metamorphite or soft granite. - Around this marvelous monument have grown treea that may perhaps be a century old, and they have completely hedged it in, while the rook itself haa stood where it stende today for thou- sands of years, On the pecleatal or that part.of it which is protected from the action of the elements can be seen the deep ridges and scars made across its flat surface by the great grinding prei- sure of the body of ioe•and sand that passed.ovee it obuntless years ago when New York' was ice and snow clad and the world was a desolate waste in a state of chaos. • This trany bowlder has calmed geol- ogists much—wonderment and is regard- ed today aeons of the finest specimens ever left * the wake of a glacier. It is equally astbunding as though an explor- er should 5nd the hull of a steamboat in the Sahara idesert. The only way it could get there Weuld be through some great convulsion that had lauded it from the mein the heart of the inland sands. New York Journal. The Reasons Why They Are Not All of One Shape. Why is there not a fixed form for all eggs? We oan see no reason in the anat- omy of the bird, but we may often find reasous for the shape of any partioular egg iu its later history. It is noticeable, for instance, that the more spherical eggs, as those of owls, trogons and the like, are usually laid in holes in the earth, rooks or trees, where they cannot fall out of the nest and that the eggs of the ordinary song bird, which makes a well constructed nest, are oval, while the slim, straight sided, conoidal eggs, tapering sharply to a point, helong to birds that construct little or no nest—to the shore birds, terns, guillemots and the like. Why? Bemuse these last drop them in small clutohee and with little or no prepara- tion upon sand or rook, where, were they spherical, they could only with difficulty be kept closer beneath the sit- ting bird, but conical objects will, tend always ie roll toward a center. An ad- ditional advantage is that eggs of the latter shape will take up less space -- form a snugger package to be warmed. In the case of guillemots the single egg laid is especially flat sided and tapering, and the species owes its perpetuation largely to this circumstance, since, were it not for the egg's toplike tendon- oy to revolve about its own. apex, the chances are that it would be pushed off the ledge of naked sea cliff where the careleis or stupid bird leaves it. Thia suggests a word in reference to the popular fable that sitting birds care- fully turn their eggs every day or often- er in order to warm them equally. No such thing is done, because unnecessary, since, as we have seeu, the germinal part always rises to the top and places itself nearest the influential warzath of the mother's body.—Ernest Ingeaeoll in Harper's Magazine.

Glories of Japan" in The Century. Miss Soidmere says: .A3 a floral sensation the chrysanthe- mum may be said to have bad its day, I the carnation is going, going, and seek- ers after novelty among flower fanoiers tie sighing for a new flower to conquer. It is hardly known, Wen tO foreign res- idents in Japan, that that land, which has given us so much of art and beauty, has lately revived the culture of its most remarkable flower, the asagao, our morning glory. For size, beauty, range of color and illimitable variety there attained this Built -is. flower precedes all others until its cultivation has become a craze, which is likely to spread to other countries, and—who knows—per- haps there introduce the current Jap- anese .eitatona of 5 o'clock in the morn- ing teas and garden parties. . Asagao, the morning flower, is more especially Japan's own blossom than the chrysanthemum, which, like came from China as a primitive sort of i weed, afterward to be evolved by Jay - lanes° art or magic into a floral wonder of a hundred varying forms. We who know and grow the morn- ing glory as a humble back yard vine on • etring—a vine with leaves like those of the sweet potato and puny little pink or purple flowers—are ate far in the floral darkness as the Chinese, u ho know it chiefly us n wild thing of fleids and hedge rows, the vine of "the little trumpets" or the "dawn flower," that is entangled with briers and bushes for miles along the top of Peking's walls. The old poetry and the old art do not , seem to be permeated with it, as in Japan, where the forms of vases, bowls and oups, the designs and paintings of the greatest masters, repeat the graceful lines of vine and flower, and adores of famous poems celebrate the asagao in written characters as beautiful to the eye as is their sound to the ear, The asagao was brought to Japan with the Buddhist religion, that partic- ular oult of eerly rising. Scholars and priests who Went over to study the new religion brought back the seeds of many Chinese plaets. The tea plant came then, and EiSai brought the seeds of the sacred bo tree, and Tai Kwan, the Chi- nese priest at the Obaku temple in Uji, who may have introduced the flower to Japan, was onhof the first to sing of poems which scholarly brushes repeat today. "Asagaos bloom and fade so quickly, only -to prepare for the mor- row's glory," is Tai Kwan's best known verse. How Punch and Jody Came to England. The heyday of the puppet show in England was during the lad century. long before then strolling showmen had exhibited "drolls" or "motions"— as the English puppets were known in the early days—to crowds of gaping rustics, but it was not until the time of Steele and Addison that the puppet show became a fashionable amusement, pat- ronized by upper tendons. Puloinella came th London in 1006, when an Italian puppet player set up his booth at Charing Owes and paid a small rental to the overseers of St. Mar- tin's parish. His name was at once Englished into Punchinello, which was soon to bo completely Anglicized as Pula* Harper's Magazine. A Contingent Name. The Syracuse Post says that a girl baby was recently brought to a clergy- man. of the city to be baptized. Tho lat- ter asked the name of the baby. "Dinah M.," the father responded. "But what does the sM' stand for?" interrogated the minister. "Well, I do not know yet. It all de- pends upon how she turns out." "How she turns out? Why, I do not understand you," said the dominie. "Oh, if she turns out nice and sweet and handy about the house, like her mother, I shall call her Dinah May, but if she has a fiery temper and displays a bombshell disposition, like mine, I shall call her Dinah Might.

FOR. • FRANKLIN'S GRAVE. Seasons Given Few Alliwing It to Remain In Ihk Fremont Cendition. Benjamin Franklin's grave is in a neglected cbudition. No appropriate stone rises over it, the ground round about it is unoared for, and the *tomb of the great scholar and atatesman is as obscure as that of a man whose name and fame wore no part of the glory of his country. His grave is destitute even of a head- stone. It is covered by an old fashioned marble slab which was placed there 100 years ago and is now worn and discol- ored by age. Nothing has been done to it since Franklin was buried there, and even the modest arrangements of the grave are not kept in the perfect condition that is expected of a great man's tomb. The earth on all sides is bare of gram the cornmeal thatching of the common- est grime, and- an air of desolation is about the whole place. The sexton said that the deecendants of Franklin would not do anything to repair the grave; neither would they al -- law anybody else to do anything. Ev- ery day he has received offers of sub- soriptions from visitore, who are dis- tressed by the forlorn appearance of Franklin'a resting place and who would like to see it improved. In -reply hette says, as he has been instructed, thaV Franklin wished it so, "being a plain man averse to display of any kind:4"e Not long ago, at his own expense, het had the fading inscription recut, or el* even the only distinguishing mark, the name, would be gone. If he had not done so, the last rest- ing place of the greatest man, outside of Washington, in American history would have been forgotten and Un- known. Who is responsible for this con- dition of affairs? Not the living rela- tives of Frauklin. The responsibility rests with the -American people, to whom the 'nen belongs. They should see to it in the future that what little is there to mark the grave is kept in bet- ter order than it has been in the past. Before he died Franklin provided for his owu gravestone and instructed a stonecutter of his acquaintance in every detail, even to the inscription which wes to be placed upou it. He desired to be buried beside his wife, who had died some years before, and a common slab was to be placed over them both. The insoription arranged as he ordered it reads: • BENJAMIN und DEBORAH 90 Everything was done as ha desired, and the work was paid for out of his estate and stands today the same as when he died.—Philadelphia Time& %nibbled When He Caine to Possum. Old Uncle Claybrook is a Very reli- gious old darky and holds converse with hie Maker twenty times a, day or oftener. His habit is to.pray and then turn off into what appears to be a one sided conversation with the Lord, but it is evident that there is another party to it as far as he is concerned. To hear him reminds one very much of a tele- phone conversation. The other day he was going through his customary devotions, and when he got to the point of expressing thankful- ness for the many blessings of life he broke off into a recounting of them, says Cicero T.

A friend of mine went to him not long ago to rent one of the houses. "Do"you lease it by the month or by the year?" she inquired. "That depends on what you are going to have on your floors, " answered the landlord. "Are you going ta have car- pets?" "No," answered my friend; "we have rugs." "You'll have to eign a year's lease then," the landlord made reply, smil- ing craftily. "If you bought carpets and had them fitted to the floors, I know you'd stay in the ho-ose as long as you could, but these rugs are too easily ad- jfisted to any sized room. You'll have to sign a year's lease if you have rugs. There are seven houses in. my row, and six of them haven't kept a tenant longer than two years at a time for as% last five years. The sevensh house—well, the people in it had carpets made and laid for it five years ago, and they haven't thought of moving. Carpets, I'll rent by the month ; rugs, a year's lease." Washington Post.
