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 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.

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. - Getting Ready. Mr. Wiggles—I ordered two dinner sets sent home today, Maria. lire. Wiggles — Two .dinner sets? Why, Joshua Wiggles, are you crazy? What in the world do we want of two more dinner sets?

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.

"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 with emotion and speaking with the exaggeration of gratitude, `you have perfected my invention!' " 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 distinct an more familiar duties in fa- vor Of interesas mainly doral.—Helen Wattersoa Moody in Scribner's.

S. MULLETT - 8c Co., Seaforthe HARDWARE,- STOVES and TINWARE. Guelph, November 23rd, 1897. THE SLOAN MEDICINE CO., HAMILTON. . 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. W. . b. Keogh. The Sloan Medicine Co., . of Hamilton, Price $1, 6 for $5.
