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 bv 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 is quite a common and deneercus defect. Hyyper-
metropia is a malformation which keeps the ciliary
inusole in constant use, ntereas in a normal eye it is
at rest when looking at Si distance. This defect, if
neglected, mese, remit in nervous depression and pain,
and even proetration. Myopia is a diseased condition
of the eye, which should be very carefully Sited to
prevent an increase. of the defect, and perhaps ulti-
mate blindness. Preebyopia is s Ions of a000mmoda-

AMERICAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
The Planting of Forests Likely to Be an
Important Industry.
Looking not very far into the future,
it seems that the planting of American
forests will become a productive indus-
try. Preservation of old forests, with
theirmasses of dry underbrush and fire
inviting collections of dry leaves, may
be advisable for some reasons. These
immense masses of firewood undoubted-
ly tend to collect snow, whiph, by its
gradual melting, furnishes a- supply to
the water reservoirs beneath the surface
of the ground. Snow thaws less quickly
under the shade' of trees than in the -.
bright sunlight. Less water, therefore,
runs to supply floods and freshets than
when the snow is made to pass away
gradually. But this question does not
affect the solid timber interests.
In old forests, where there is a strug-
gle for life among the trees by reason
of their growing so thickly together,
• the result is the necessity of waiting
many years before the trees will reach
a size to make them desirable for tim-
ber purposes. Where trees have room to
grow and are properly cared for most
kinds of American trees will furnish
useful timber in 20 or 80 years, -and for
many other purposes they can be em-
ployed even younger. It takes well on
to a oenttiry for the struggling trees; in
a dense wood to have any marketable
valve.
While good timber is becoming grad-
ually scarcer on account of our annual
forest fires, rising from the conditions
already stated, the demand is increasing,
and, what is more remarkable, Europe
is already calling on America for a eup-
ply of lumber. American oak especially
is in great demand in the old world,
while our blank walnut is closely fol-
lowing in its wake. Our lighter woods
also—such as the tulip tree and poplar
-are coming into great demand there
for packing boxes and oases where light
weight is a great object. Those who are
interested in forestry in our country
should take up the matter of encourage-
ment of forest planting. It will soon be
a greater question than forest preserva-
tion.—Meeban's Monthly.
ANCIENT -POLITICAL "RINGS:"
Olden Time Schemes Fer Obtaining Wealth
• and Power.
The evirof monopolies and rings was
known to ancients, Aristotle referring
to them in his "Polities," and then, as
now, it was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation. The mo- -
nopoliet was in Roman law called a
dardanarius and punished under the
Lex Julia de`Annona. - Monopolies of
clothing, - fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of confiscation and exile, so
that it is certain that the "rings" of
the ancient days were as miechievoue as
they are new. At Athens a law lim-
ited the amount of a Dorn a man might
buy. .The earliest recorded instance we
have was a corn "ring."
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min-
ister and committed into his hands the
entire administration of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the shep-
herd kings and ruled over the whole of
Egypt as Joseph's pharaoh seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years of remarkable plenty bought
np every bushel of corn beyond the ab-
solute needs of the Egyptians and stored
it. During the terrible famine that fol-
lowed he was able to get his own price
and bartered corn successively for the
Egyptian money, cattle and land, and,
taking ane -fifth for pharaoh, made him
supremely wealthy. It was not merely
a provident act, but a very politic one,
his policy being to centralize power in
the monarch's hands.—London An-
swers. -
.L tifjst lir. Bantu j's Joke.
The late George von Bunsen, the ao-
eomplished and delightful son of the
baroness whose "Life and Letters" are
well known in America, once told me
an anecdote of ' the late Princess Mary
of Took and the celebrated Ranting.
The princess became, in her middle life,
enormously stoat, and finding her
(weight a burden tried several methods
;hof reducing it. At last, having heard
much of Banting, she sent for liim. She
was surprised to see that he was still
extremely bulky, andafter a few civil
preparatory remarks she said, "But
your system has not made you very thin,
Mr. Banting."
"Allow- me, madam," said Banting.
And proceeding to unbutton his coat
he disclosed a large wire structure over
which the garment fitted. Inside was
the real Banting, incased in another
coat.
"This, madam," said lie, pointing
with pardonable satisfaction to his
cage, "was my size before I commenced
dieting. " He then nimbly disembarrass •
ed himself of his framework and stood
before the royal lady exhibiting his ele-
gant figure.
Apparently the interview led to noth-
ing but amusement, for the good Duch-
ess of Teok remained very stout. to the
end of her days.—Exchange. -

DURATION. OF HUMAN LIFE.
IL Man Might Possibly Live to Be .One
Hnndted and Twenty-five Years Old.
In thi, average statistics of human life
it has been found that women live lon-
ger than leen. The reason for that ap-
pears to be simple.
Up to the age of 20 to 25 the man is
undoubtedly younger and less develop-
ed than the woman, but in the next 20
or 30 years of his life the man ages
much more rapidly, because apart from
the strain and hardship of a profession,
the exposure to unhealthful Climates,
the disappointments of fortune, he of-
ten leads a life of dissipation and ex-
cess which early puts its stamp upon
his forehead and turns his hair gray be-
fore its time. The woman, on the other
hand, who has often more than her
share of anxieties, has, apart from the
many accidents of life, but one serious
and inevitable danger, that of the per-
petuation of her race, which, safely
passed, renovates rather than ages and
increases a woman's chance of longev-
ity.
.From the few facts that I have ven-
tured to put together we may deduce, I
think, the following conclusions, which,
I trust, may be found of some interest
by those who - desire to have a general
view of the expectation of life, its real
duration and the possible causes of its
length and brevity.
,First.—That, according to the best
authorities of the last century, the ex-
treme limit of life might be 125 years
ander extraordinary and almost abnor-
mal circumstances.
Second.—That the anticipation of life
is roughly five times the tinge that the
organs of the body—not counting the
brain, which develops later --require to
attain their full and absolute maturity.
This, of course, varies not only in races,
but in individuals, some developing
early and some much later, even in the
same climate and in the same family.
Third. -That rarely, if ever, is that
full duration achieved, owing to dis-
ease, food, -heredity, bad habits, wear
"and tear and many other causes whioh
shorten life.
Fourth.—The slower the development
the longer may be the duration ,of life.
Fifth:—That all human beings are
not born with the capacity for long lite
even under the most favorable circum-
stances. As the organism of the human
being is more complex than that of the
lower animals, so his anticipation of
life is far more variable.
Sixth. — That those circumstances
which conduce to longevity are un-
doubtedly late development, frugal hab-
its, moderation, exemption from vicissi-
tudes of climate and extreme of heat or
cold, from mental worry and agitation,
temperature in eating and drinking,
with a fair amount of brain work when
the brain is ready to undertake it.
We have all heard the well worn ax-
iom attributed to the Psalmist that the
"days of man are threescore and ten,"
but in Genesi vi, 8, will be found the
following passage, "Yet his days shall
be an hundred and twenty years."
This passage_ seams to have been over-
looked, as I have rarely seen it quoted,
although curiously, enough it exactly
corresponds to the theory that man
should attain five times the period of
reaching bis maturity. Nineteenth
Century.
The Dialgnring "Make Up."
So long as we indulge in the barbar-
ism of footlights some strengthening of
the points of the face may be needful.
It is indeed an excellent thing when
deftly done and the material pauses of
the effect entirely hidden, as they should
be. The clarity of a whiter tint to the
general tone of the skin, theillumina-
tion of eye and teeth by emphasizing
the brow and lashes and lips, the height-
ening of the color—all these things can
be so done as to disguise the means by
which they are done. What is the
method actually pursued? White is laid
all over face and shoulders in thick
washes, like a Pierrot's mask, masses
of black pomade load the eyebrows and
eyelashes, great gobs of red are put upon
the earlobes and on and around the
lips like a -snapdragon, deep pink in and
below the nostrils and on the eyelids
and masses of black or purple beneath
the eyes,* projecting to the temples it
arrowheads.
All these things are perfectly visible
to a.large part of the audience and aro
disfiguring even Iat a distance. With an
opera glass they are shocking. The ob
jocts which are obtained are the gog•
gling of the eyes, which can be thrown
about with the intensity of a darky's,
and the display of the ivories, which
produce a similar effect to his. For pas
sion . to show itself in such plastered
faces, for waves of emotion to spread
over them and for any refinement of
feeling to communicate.itself to the an
dience are as impossible as it would b1
to expect these things from the painted
Wives. They cannot ory, of course, nos
touch, nor be touched, without disaster.
Ellen Terry played a disfiguring scent
bare one night; with the water stream
ing from an eye into which her loaded
eyelashes had discharged themselves.--.

MEMORIES. .
Once more, once more, my Mary, dear,
I sit by that lone stream
Where first within thy timid ear
I breathed love's burning dream.
Tho birds we loved still tell their tale
Of music on each spray,
And still the wild rose decks the vale,
But thou art far away.
In vain thy vanished form I seek
By wood and stream and dell,
And tears of anguish bathe my cheek
Where tears of rapture fell,
And yet beneath these wiidwood bowers
Dear thoughts my soul employ,
For in the memories of past hours
There is a mournful joy.
Upon the air thy gentle words
Around me seem to thrill,
Like sounds upon the wind harp's chorda
When all the winds are still,
Or like the low and soullike well
Of that wild spirit tone
Which haunts the hollow of the bell
When its sad chime is done.
seem to hear thee speak my name'
In sweet, Iow murmurs now.
T seem to feel thy breath of flame
Upon my cheek and brow.
On my cold lips I feel thy kiss,
Thy heart to mine is laid—
Alas that such a dream of bliss '
Like other dreams must fade! -

THE COTTON GIN. .
Wow a Woman Helped Whitney to Per-
fect His Great Invention.
"Recollections of Washington and,
His Friends" is contributed to The Cen-
tury by Martha Littlefield Phillips)
They were taken down from the lips of
the author's grandmother, who was the
youngest daughter of General Nathan-
ael Greene. The following is one of the
stories: . .
"During my life at Dungeness a cir-
cumstance occurred there of some his-
toric and scientific interest and in re-
gard to which mach erroneous state-
ment bas been made. I refer to the in-
. vention of the cotton gin by Eli Whit-
ney and my mother's connection with
it. The facts, briefly stated, were about
as follows: While spending the previ-
ous simmer at Newport, R. I., my
mother became acquainted with Mr.
Whitney and grew much interested in
the outcome of the experiments he wet
then making in the interest of his pro-
jected gin. To assist in his enterprise,
my mother invited him to spend the
following winter at Dungeness, where
an abundance of cotton and quiet could
be assured. Mr. Whitney accordingly
came to Dungeness, and diligently pur-
sued his experiments, a room in the
fifth story having been specially fitted
for his use as an inventor: One morn-
ing he descended headlong into the
drawing room, where a number of
guests were assembled and excitedly
exclaimed, 'The victory is mine 1' In
deep sympathy with him the guests
and hostess Went with him to his work-
shop. Whitney set his model iu motion.
For a few moments the miniature saws
revolved without hindrance and the
separation of the seed from the cotton
wool was successfully accomplish, but
after -a little the saws clogged with lint,
the wheel stopped, and poor Whitney
was in despair.
" `Here's what you need,' eielaimed
my mother in her clear, decisive way,
and she instantly seized a olotheebrush
lying on the mantel and held it firmly
to the teeth of the saws. Again the
drum revolved, and instantly the saws
were cleaned of . the lint, and the lase
requirement of the great invention was
satisfied.
' 'Madam,' said Whitney, overcome

Morals and Ser.
Whatever the Turveydrops of the
moral world may have to say about the
necessity for elevating moral deport-
ment on the part of "wooman, bewitch-
ing wooman," I have never been able to
see any indubitable.intent in nature her-
self toward binding them over to any
higher moral standards than she does
men. Both men and women seem to mo
to be compounded of the same average
morality, though with certain unlike
manifestations, largely the result of oir-
oumstanoes and opportunities. -
I see so special cause for believing
that the average woman under like
temptation would do very different
from the average man—a belief whit
is not lessened by Bishop Potter's re-
cent accusation before the wolpN'e
auxiliary of the Civil Serrioe Reform
association that they put their relativsi
into office whenever they get the chemic,
"without any evidence that they are fit-
ted to fill the places they applied fere"
'Visibly women were intended by their
Creator to stand for the reformatory in-
terests of life, but I think there is mol
as yet sufficient evidence thereto, either
in the nature of things or of women, to
warrant any special abrogation. of other

GENTLEMEN : I think it is only fair to tell you that I believe your " Royal
GI ycerated Balsam of Fir " once saved me from going into a decline. I suffered from great
pain =n the lungs and bronchial tubes, and was really afraid that I was to be a victim to
that dread consumption. I was advised to try, and; did get a bottle of your Balsam, and
it cured me entirely in a short time. I believe it is the best medicine for such troubles
that can he got. Signed—DUNCAN CAMPBELL, Walton.
Another writes : The "Glycerated Balsam of Fir" I got from ycu, proved to be
the best cough medicine I ever had in my life. I never had anything to equal it. I was

my sleeping at nights. I only used one-third of the bottle, and am now completely cured.

beat and safest remedy. Signed—H. L. PEINE, Zurich.

Dear Sirs :
For years I was troubled with
periodical sick headaches, being affected
usually every Sunday, and used all the re-
medies that were advertised as cures, and
was treated by almost' every docter in
Guelph, but without any relief. One
doctor - told me it was caused by .a weak -
stomach, another said it was hereditary and
incurable. I was induced bya neighbor to
try Sloan's Indian Tonic, and aim happy to -
say T did so. A few doses gave immediate
relief, and one bottle and a half made a com-
plete.eure.
This was three years ago titin the held -
aches have never returned. it was also
troubled with asthma and nothing helped
me like your Sloan's Indian >Tonic. I eau
heartily recommend it to all; and will be
- glad to give any partieulgirI to any one
afflicted as I was.
