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 congenital, but is often caused by im- properly fitted glasses. Many school children with thla defect are called stupid, but with properly fitted glasses they may become the brightest of scholars. This is -quite a common and dangerous defect. Hyper- metropla is a malformation which keeps; the ciliary rruscle in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it ie at rest when looking at a distance. This defect, if neglected, mey result in nervous depcession and pain, and even proetration. Myopia is a diaeaaed condition of the eye, which should be very carefully fitted to prevent an increase of the defect, and perhaps ulti- rnate.blindness. Presbyopia is a loss of aocommoda- tion in the eye, which may mune cataract unlees cor- rected by artificial aid. Frequently nervous or sick headaches, and also serious illness, are brought on by one or more of the above defeats. Remember, no oharge for teetiog your eyes. J.

Though Ireland today holds the first place, so far as America is concerned, in regard to linens, Holland occupied that position everywhere in the past and holds it today in many parts of Europe. The very word Holland is employed to designate a fine linen cloth or a linen and cotton cloth and has been used for this purpose from time immemorial. It is both glazed and unglazed and used for wearing and household decoration. Flax grows well in that part of Europe; and the sunlight is said to be brighter and to have more power in bleaching in the Low Countries than elsewhere. The linen industry is carried on in Holland more by women than by men. In the fields there are almost as many female as male cultivators. la the harvesting there is an excess of women. In the many processes, such as liming, hackling and spinning, the women out- numbered the men three to one: In the mills the women are in the . majority. The men preponderate when it comes to the making -of damasks and fancy de- sign& For at least four centuries it has been an honored custom in the -Nether- lands for young women to begin making their marriage portion in linen when mere girls. Some go so far as to start with the sowing of the seed ; others be- gin with the spinning, while those bet- ter off buy the finished cloth. All do the cutting and sewing. A wedding outfit consists of petticoats, nightgowns and other underwear, several suits for sum- mer wear, sheets, pillow cases, bolster cases, pillow shams, shirts for the hus- band to be and a number of rolls of the uncut material for future emergenoy or use. Nearly every girl of marriage- able age has a stook of these goods rang- ing from a trunkful to three or four times that amount. — Philadelphia Press. Pigs and Lambs for Sale.

MATTER OF PRONUNCIATION ♦ Father Who Seeks to Enlighten His Son on a Small Point. - There is a certain man who by the sweat of his brow -in summer time -- earns his bread as a government official, with an office in the big state, war and navy building. Ho also earns -bread for a wife and three likely children and a servant; who manages to carry a slice of pie along home with her bread about three evenings in the week. But that is the cook's privilege always This official has a son aged 13, who is very nearly as sharp as the father thinks himself to be, especially in those things that everybody ought to know and not one person in a dozen does know. About three times a week the father comes to the office loaded with some new information which he seeks to im- part to bis fellow clerks by the induct- ive method that is, he induces them to show how little they know;' then ,he springs it on them. His strong point is words and their pronunciation, and he thinks he is an authority. The other evening while he was en- tertaining three or four of his office friends at a small supper the eldest boy spoke up from the far end of the table. "Say, pop," he inquired, "how do you pronounce N -e -w -o -n -e?" spelling it out slowly. "I presume," replied the father, with the courage of his convictions, "that it e an Indian name, and by the rule I would pronounce it Ne-wo-ny." "But that isn't the way," dissented the boy. The father was never more surprised in his life. "I don't quite see how it would 1* euphonious any other way," he said, with a mild air of offended intelligence. "What's the matter with pronouncing it new one?" inquired the boy, with a loud, irreverent ha ha. And the 'blow almost killed father.—Washington Star. •1 lA rf`'i y . TRUMPS AND PIE. STAMPEDE GULLY. HOW A WELL KNOWN RAVINE IN TEXAS GOT ITS NAME. A. Herd of 15,000 Cattle Stampeded at Night, and Before They Were Stopped 9,700 of Them Were Hilled--Costly Blunder Made by a lilexiean Cowboy. One of the most desperate stampedes of cattle ever witnessed by a Texas cow- boy, says Rev. J. B. Cranfill of Waco, lex. , occurred in 1876 on the prairie in the center of which now stands the town of Mc(iTeglr. Fifteen thousand cattle and 25 cowboys participated in the exciting event. Mr. Cranfill was not a participant, but he tells the story as he got it froman eyewitness in The Independent. Late in the afternoon of July 4 there had teen a lively thunder- storm that made the cattle nervous. At 10 o'clock at night, however, they seemed to be sleeping profoundly. Then the narrative proceeds as follows: "The tars were all shining, and there wa no -cause at all for the arous- ing of the herd. They appeared to get up all at once, with a single purpose, and the roar that was beard seemed to dome from a single throat. The Wilson brothers and their oowboys who were sleeping in their camp rushed to' their ponies, who were grazing with the sad- dles and bridles on, and as fast as the bits could be replaced in their mouths they mounted and galloped to the flanks of the now disappearing mass, headed in the direction of the Brazos river." The usual course on such occasions is to get in front of the herd -a risky piece of work—and start it to running in a circle. This attempt was made' in this case. "Some cattle can outrun others, and in this case there was a bunch of about 60 fully 20 yards in advance, and to- ward this leading. group the two rescu- ers rode. Of the leading group, also, some were faster than others, and this group ran in a diamond shape; with two immense steers leading all. - When Mr. Wilson and bis companion reached the two leading steers, they began shooting their revolvers close to them, and in that way the bunch was made to oblique, and as the leading bunch of cattle obliqued the main stampede obliqued, and the first step in 'milling' had been taken. By this time the cattle were get- ting tired. Nearly five miles had been covered, and the breath of the leaders was Doming short and painfully, but they were rushing on because the front cattle at this time knew as a matter of fact their only safety was in keeping up the run. Those behind were coming, and they were in the majority, and the leaders were compelled to run. There was real danger for the forward mem- bers of the stampede. "In the invo,}ce of artibles contained in the regulation 'outfit' there is always some kind of stimulants,- and but for the stimulants contained in Mr. Wil- son's outfit it is possible that the stam- pede world have been halted without disaster. He had a Mexican along, one of the best cowboys in the southwest. This Mexican and his horse always re- minded those who saw him ride of the fabled Centaur. He rode far forward and bent over, so that be and his horse appeared•to be one animal. No horse, however rugged, 'wild and woolly,' had ever been able to unseat him. This Az- tec had been to the little brandy runlet too often and had filled and emptied his tin cup with surreptitious intoxicants, so that his usual excellent judgment went awry. When he succeeded in get- ting mounted, after having fumbled with his bridle a good deal, he was far in the rear, and the stampede had gone past him, so that when he overtook .the rear end he passed to the front on the other side and rode on the wrong, flank. " When he reaohed the head of - the herd, he was just in time to defeat the maneuver, then under execution, of bend- ing the moving mass from a straight line to a semicircle. Revolver in hand, disregarding the other men, he began shooting in the faces of the wild steers, and the effeot'of this was to straighten the run and bring the advance straight toward a precipice. This precipice was a wash in the prairie, forming a deep ravine fully 80 yards _wide, and in a shorter time than it takes to tell of this oontretemps the head of the column was pouring over, a horrible casoade. of beef, plunging madly into destruction while fleoing.from an imaginary danger. " When Mr. Wilson and his lieutenants saw that it was impossible to save their cattle, they saved themselves by dexter- ously turning at right angles at full speed and riding out of the way. They next returned to the flank and held a council of war. A few seconds decided them, and all hands commenced shoot- ing into the herd, the object now being to build a breastwork of carcasses and save the rear end from the destruction that had overtaken the front. The gul- ly was nearly full of cattle by this time. Wkey were snorting and bellow- ing, oralaking and tearing, and still heaping ►up, and when the firing began the wounded ones tumbled over on the others, a*d in a short time the gully, like the sunken road at Waterloo, was bridged by carcasses. The herd surged up in billows, like an ocean, and bent now because it could nob do otherwise. The semicircle was formed, and Wil- son and his raven crowed the gully be- low and rode around the opposite ride and recrossed, and in &'short time they had Use cattle halted, forming an in- complete letter 0, and them they stood, Mowing, .bellowing, shivering. A11 hands remained on watoh all night, and in the morning, when a count was made, it was asosrtained that 9,700 head wars mipdng. There were afterward 2,700 pairs of horns taken from that gully. It was called Stampede gully for many Years afterward. and perhaps will al- ways with same people be remembered by that name." A Collector of Book Plates. An interesting colleotion of book plates is owned by Mr. Howard Sill, head draftsman at the office of a firm of architects in this city. The collection co sista of some 8,600 specimens-- Aieriean, English, French and Span- ish,modern and antique—belonging to the various periods known as Jacobean, Chippendale, Wreath and Ribbon, etc. Mr. Sill has collected many examples of the work of Dorkins, Johnson, the Mav- ericks, father and son, famous eolo*ial book plate engravers; also some speci- mens of the rare and valuable work of Nathaniel Hurd, a New England en- graver, bourn in 1720, a duplicate of one of whoae book plates owned by Mr. Sill brought $60 in -New York a short time ago. Mr. Sill has also one of the six book plates engraved by Paul Revere, which is of Igreat value 'and inter- est. Among the colonial plates are those of William Byrd of Westover, Bushnod Washington, John Randolph, William Smith, president of William and Mary oollege; Charles Carroll, Thomas Hey- ward and Samuel Chase, signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Mr. Gately Played a Hand at Whist. One evening, the evening after Christ- mas, we were seated at the whiet table in our room. Henry and I had had our Christmas dinner with his people, and Mr. Gately had had his at the rector's house. Mr. Gately was assistant at the parish church. The major, poor man, had had no other resource than'to sit at Mrs. Buckingham's table. " What kind of dinner did the duchess give you on Christmas?" asked Henry if the major, who was dealing with quiet precision. "Colossal," replied the major ;' 'colos- ial, sir, and Familiar." "Do you mean," said -I, "she gave yon the same old things, only more of them?" ;'Precisely, madam. It is your lead and hearts are trumps." The major had turned the queen. "We had five kind -of pie," he added. I led some small card of a plain suit. Mr. Gately took the trick, playing e- king second hand, and led the king of hearts. I saw the major looked puzzled and frowned. "Five- kinds of pie!" Mr. Gately ex- claimed mildly as the hand went round. "Dear me! What ill -judged benevo- lence!" Then, his king having taken, he led the ace and smiled. "What infernal carelessness!" burst from the major. His queen had fallen upon his partner's ace.' "Oh, hardly that! Surely the intent was manifest—not that I defend the practice, but ,one could .hardly—er"— Mr Gately leaned forward as he spoke, still smiling, his cards clasped against his breast and his head slightly to one side. "Confound it, man, I turned the queen when I dealt!" said the me.jor. "The queen? Oh, yes, to be sure! I fear I am very stupid." Mr. Gately was the acme of devout contrition.—"A Guilty Conscience," by William Mayne- dier Browne, in Scribner's. Pork wits the poet highly eat..aed ties* at a tom= table. PURE TOBACCO. The London Lancet Says It Is Not Injuri- ous to Smokers. Referring to the agitation started in France by a society which acts on the principle that "tobacco is always use- less, often harmful and sometimes homi- cidal," The Lancet says: "We agree in so farr that we allow tobacco to be some- times very harmful. It is, of course, a poison, but so is tea, as also coffee— two vegetable products which are con- sumed by nearly every inhabitant of either England or Franco. All three can be and very often are abused, but this does not do away with their reasonable use. In these days of rush and hurry to- bacco has often a most soothing and restful effect. The tobacco sold in France is, to put it mildly, not good, and although in England it is possible to buy fairly good tobacco it is next door to impossible to get it pure. "That is to say, it is nearly always scented or treated in some way so as to give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are beyond the purse of any but a rich Man, and as for cigarettes the filth sold as such is beyond description. A pure to- bacco society would be an admirable in- stitution, and, as for the traders saying 'customers like scented tobacco,' the customer seldom gets the chance of smoking anything else. The truth is that, as in the case of highly scented tea or soap, it is cheaper to 'fake' infe- rior qualities of stuff than to supply the real thing. To be unsophisticated au article must be of good quality, but the craze for cheapness is ruining every- . thing, and when people buy cigarettes at 36 cents a hundred it is not to be wondered at that they get --well, an in- ferior article. " In view of these dicta it is interesting to note that cigarettes are turned out in large quantities by firms of repute at a retail price nearly a third less than the price mentioned by The Lancet. --Lon- don Times.
