S, ROBERTS Having taken a course of studies at the Detroit Optical Institute, is prepared to fit alli defects of vision, Astigmatism, Hypermetropia, Myopia, Presbyopia, or any compound defect. Astignietiem is due to irregular shape of the eye, and is usieally congenital, but is often caused by im- properl dtted glasses. Many school children with this defeat are called stupid, but with properly fitted glaesee they may become the brightest of soholars. This is (e#tea common and deneercus defect. 'Hypger- inetropia is a malformation which keeps the ciliary inueeie in constant use, whereas in a normal eye it it at rent when looking at a distance. This detect, if neglected, may result in norvous depression and pain, and even prostration. Myopia is a diseased condition of the eye, which should be very carefully fitted to preventan increase of the defect, and perbatpe ulti- mate blindneee. Presbyopia is a low el accommoda- tion in the eye, which may cause cataract unless cor- rected by artificial aid. Frequently nervone er sick. headaches, and also serious illness, are b = ought on by one or more of the above defects. Remember, no charge for tenting your eyes. J. S.

CURIOUS MICROSCOPIC MARVELS ACHIEVED BY INGENIOUS MEN. Peter Hamas Tells Some Very Fishy Sta- rlet' About John Muller—The Ever Grow- ing Squad of Cherry Stone Workers --A Wonderful Knife. Perhaps the most prevalent - mania of men gifted with mechanical ingenuity takes the shape of accomplishing or at- tempting to accomplish in miniature the mightiest feats of engineering that human bands have ever set up. Me en- thusiast in miniature regards the Forth bridge, for example, not as a utilitarian masterpiece,, -but as a model to be fol- lowed and copie I in all the materials supplied by a threepenny bit, and the 985 feet of Eiffel tower neither fl110 his breast with awe nor horror, but is re- garded as a choice subject to be con- structed in ' miniature out of - bent pen and the shell of a walnut.. Of the mediaeval mechanicians John Muller, better known in the trade as Regiomontanus, which one must admit sounds well for one of his craft, who lived in the fifteenth century, was with- out doubt the Maskelyne and Cook of the period,- or at all events he had as a biographer a writer of greater imagina- tion than the other• less fortunate genii of that era. Peter Ramus, the writer in question, not only credits John Muller with fashioning a wooden eagle, which on the occasion of the Emperor Max- imilian visiting Nuremberg flew out to meet him, saluted him in due form— however that may have been—and then turned round and accompanied the pro- cession to the city gates, but further as- serts that the same individual -turned out an iron -fly - Which, having flown a perfect roundabout, With weary wings returned unto her master. We are inclined to think, all things considered, that Peter Ramus had the makings of a very fine creator of excit- ing fiction in him and that it was a sad pity he allowed his gift to be wasted in compiling a biography of a 100 years' deceased automata artificer iu place of forestalling the friend of our youth, M. Jules Verne. The cherry stone has been a favorite subject for ,the worker in miniature since Hadrianus Junius saw at Mechlin "a cherry stone out into the form of a basket, ,in which were 14 pairs of dine distinct, the spots and numbers of which were easily to be discerned with a good eye." A museum in Massachusetts hu among its- other possessions a cherry stone containing a dozen silver spoons. As the stone is of the ordinary size the spoons are so small that their shape can only be admired by the aid of a micro- scope. Other remarkable cherry stones are the ones carved all over with ,124 heads, mostly of popes and potentates, and the one fashioned by a topmaker at Nuremberg, -which contains a plan of Sevastopol, a railway station and the "Messiah" of Klopstock, is indeed mul tum in parvo. A tiny vessel has been made of late years by an Italian jeweler who came into possessi_on of a pearl that nature had caused to take upon itself the shape and contour of a boat, A sail of beaten god, studded with diamonds, a binnacle light of ruby and emerald, and a rud- der of ivory complete the structure, 'which weighs less than an ounce all told. We recently saw it stated that the smallest steam engine in the world is one of an upright pattern, made of sil- ver and gold and resting on a 25 cent goldpiece. The diameter of the cylinder is ono forty-eighth part of an inch; stroke, one thirty-second of an inch; weight, one eighth of a grain; bore of cylinder, .8125 of a square inch. The engine can be worked either by steam or compressed air, and—oh, shade of Peter Ramus—the balance wheel dee one-third of an inch diameter is said to' make 1,760 revolutions per minute. In 1816 a knife was made at Messrs. Travis & Son's, Manchester, containing three blades, buttonhook, saw, punch, screwdriver, box, corkscrew, hook and gimlet, two phlemens, a species of lan- cet, picker and two more lancets with a ring at the head. The knife, we learn, was only eleven -sixteenths of an inch long and weighed 1 pennyweight 14 grains. At this end of the century Sheffield can boast of a dozen pairs of shears, each so minute that they alto- gether weigh less than half a grain, if report speaks true. ..ay - Of examples of microscdpe writing there is no end, but ons of the most fa- mous is mentioned by Pliny, who said that Cicero bad once aeon Homer's - "Iliad" in a nutshell. In order to prove the truth of this a French writer named Huet experimented in the presence of the dauphin, whose tutor he was in 1670. He first showed that a piece of sheepskin 10 by 8 inches can be folded up -to fit the ellen of a walnut, and then proceeded to prove that he could get 250 stanzas of 80 verses to a stanza ozi each 'side of the paper, or 7,500 verses on each side. Of the paintings in Minia- ture Carel van Mender, the sixteenth century painter and historian, quotes the landscape painted by Lucas van Heete's wife. This work of art repre- sented a mill with sails heat, the mil- ler appearing as if - mounting the (stairs loaded with is sack. A cart and±horse were seen upon the terrace upon which the mill was fixed, and on the road sev- eral peasants were discerned. The whole was perfectly distinct and accurately *finished, and yet so minute that it could e covered with one grain of corn. ia Rrely that most microscopic artist, M. nvan Beers, must be descended from the fair painter of tient extraordinary work of art. —London Etandard. 71, Srr .Explanation.

NO WITNESSES REQUIRED. FOR ORDER IN THE COURT. TOSSED BY THE HURRICANE. A Protest Against Dramatic Demonstra- tions In Trials by Jury. 1 There : is a practice the universal ' prevalence of which in our existing_ trials by jury makes justice a misno- mer. It is 'a practice whose evils, so far as I . can discover, have never been commented upon, or even appreciated, by the- press, public or individuals. I refer to the whole method by which, right or wrong, innocence or guilt is sought to be .- proved by the counsel on either side. .Assume, for instance, a criminal- case —for the same method is applied, though usually to a lesser degree, to civil ,contests. Beginning with the opening arraignment by the proseon- *ion, thence through the examination and cross examination of the witnesses, exhibits, on to the very display of ex , end of thefinal harangues of the oppos- ing counsel, the dramatic is never lost sight of. The emotions, not the intelligence, of the jurors are appealed to throughout. In a •typical murder case which re- cently gratified the morbidly sensational element„ of the entire country the dis- trict ° attorney arose impressively, glanced about him ominously and then, with a tremulously tragic voice, proceed- ed to arraign the accused, charging him outright with the crime, practically as- suming •without doubt that he was guilty and endeavoring by the use of every wile of the orator's. art to, away the jury to his mode of thinking. And this before the minutest bit of evidence had been taken. Is elogrience a proper adjunct to our jurisprudence? Heretic though I may be, I hold em- phatically and with qualification that it is not. It has no plane in a hall of jus- tice, where, we are led to believe, the truth and only the truth is to be brought out. Eloquence, as manifested by ora- tory, is inimical to truth, which can only be discovered and established by calm, unprejudiced and dispassionate investigation. Eloquence appeals to the emotions, and its victories are obtained, bytrick- ery—the trickery of masterful verbiage playing upon sensitive but unreasoning ears. - The claim that cannot be justified be- fore the reason cannot be valid. Elo- quence is the weapon of falsity. Truth and right do not require its use. The sphere of eloquence is the stage. In the pulpit, before the bar of justice and in the hall of legislation it is a source of unlimited evil. I hold that for the accomplishment of justice' alr allthe theatrio displays, all eloquence, all excitants to the emotions, should be banished from our courts of law by sentiment if not by regulation. They have no place there. Judicial procedure should be along the lines similar to the investigation of scientific propositions and discoveries. The establishment of right or wrong, guilt or innocence, is something to bb effected by cold, prosaic, rigid inquiry, step by step, as analogous as may be to mathematical demonstration. We shall have to wait long for the time when this is recognized, but it will be in the indefinite future, and when that time does come we may be more confident that our courts of justice are• such in something more than name.— Criterion. - Persecuted by Office Seekers. "The Inner Experiences of a Cabinet Member's Wife" is one °of the most in- teresting contributions to The Ladies' Home Journal. In a series of letters the wife of a cabinet member writes to her sister of office seekers and of those in the departments. "You can have no idea," she anonymously declares, "how Henry (her husband) is persecuted by applicants for his influence with the president or with the heads of depart- ments. He really has no influence out- side of his own department, and he is wearing his sympathies into tatters lis- tening to tales of woe. The saddest case that has come under my own observa- tion is that of a maiden lady, fully 50 years old, who has worked in the de- partments ever since the war. Senato- rial influence has kept her in all these years, but now that the civil service re- forms are being introduced she is in de- spair, for, although perfectly compe- tent at her work, she never in the world could pass one of those rigid examina- tions. She called upon me bearing a let- ter of introduction from Mrs. Arthur Folsom (Mary Allison), who married - into one of the old 'families here. I don't know whether her family lost their means by the war or in some other way, but they did lose everything when she was a gay girl at the top of 'moiety in both Alexandria and Washington. She told me about dancing in a set of •-lan- cers opposite Abraham Lincoln, who, though awkward and angular in his dancing, seemed to enjoy it and always had a gay word for everybody. She says her feeling for Mr. Lincoln was some- thing more than respect—it was more like adoration; that she has often won- dered if people did not feel just so to- ward the great religious prophets who must have spread abroad what Mr. Lin- coln did—an atmosphere of sympathetic kindness, trust, purity and nobility." Wanamaker Turned Brioke. The early days of John Wanamaker were not easy by any means. When only a lad of 5 years, he made bricks, or, rath- er, assisted in making them, for his busi- ness was to turn them in the sun until they were evenly baked. For this labor - he received 2 oents a day and sometimes cleared 10 oents a week, but it must be remembered that there were many rainy dayfl whop the force of 7outh4ul"work- men" bad to be laid off. John's first real rise to fortune was in the days when, as office• boy, he saved money enough to start in business for biresel EN worked as assistant izi the office un- til he had olia thed up to $6 a week, and then, aiming that h.

Two men who bad been chums in a western town before a financial hurri- cane hit it met for the first time in years in a Sixth avenue eating house the other day. In the days of their pros- perity one of them was a political lever and was called colonel. He had been on the governor's staff. The other in some Way had acquired the title of captain. Both had front seats in every event of the town in which they had lived. The governor's ornament is now a plain bookkeeper in Broad street. The other man is a dry goods; clerk. After greetings; explanations and a few mournful references to perished de- lights, they had a combination meal, and tf you don't.know what that is you have never had any trouble, and any one who casts a shadow is worse than a heathen. • When the meal was over, the two old friends walked out and stood for a few minutes under the splutter of an aro light. As they were parting the man who used to ride the big bay horse in the governor's parade, and who had commanded the populace of his town to stand back, said in a low, mournerlike -tone: "If you come to see me, don't call me colonel. Nobody knows me as colo- nel now. I am just an employee on a salary. " The arc light splattered again as the little man replied in a squeaky, hall tedroom voice: "And if you come to see me jest call me, 'Say, you!' That's what everybody calls me in the store." "Well, goodliy, captain." "So long, colonel." It was the first time they had heard the titles in years and each walked away with. a light;r step and lighter heart. —New York Sun. PERISHED IN A SEWER.—A number of workmen went into the South Vatra sewer, near Melbourne, Australia, to make some repairs. Later another workman went dowel, but soon rushed back saying that inspector ? Mossop and all the workmen • were dead, and the sewer was full of gas. The fire tie partment was called out and the sewer stopped up and flooded after the bodies had been recovered. DUTIES OFA; CHRISTIAN LIFE. No Virtue In One's Daily Actions Unless It Is Established In the Sohl. "The obligations and duties of the Christian life are not all external," - writes Cardinal Gibbons, pointing out -a religious life to young men, in The La- dies' Home Journal. "They are mainly material and must proceed from the heart. There is no virtue in one's daily actions unless it be first established in the soul and is only an external expres, sion of the soul's convictions or prolon- gation of heartfelt sentiments. Yet the external practice of Christian virtues and the performance of Christian duties pertain to the integrity, if not to the es- sential character, of the Christian life. The interior sentiments sion perish without external expression, as life and bodily powers become extinct without due and proper exercise or employment. "However, as the external duties are not absolutely and ander all circum- stances essential, they vary both in number and frequency according to en- vironments and opportunities. A busi- ness man cannot do all that a clergy- man is expected to do, a man in trade not what a man in leisure can accom- plish nor a man of the world all that le possible and easy to one who keeps him- self from society. But all, no matter where, no :natter what their engage- ments and meatier pursuits, how little or how much time they can call their own, can and are obliged to perform daily acts of prayer and religion and accomplish many duties of virtue and charity. There ia no condition of life which is incompatible with the dictates and principles and precepts of the Christian life." - A Mexican Custom on Good friday. •I s. Sara Y. Stevenson contributes to The Century an article on "Maximil- ian's Empire," one of a series devoted to the French intervention in- Mexico. In describing the scenes that followed the siege of Puebla Mrs. Stevenson says: It was a Mexican custom on Good Friday to burn _Judas in effigy on the Plaza Mayor. Judas was a manikin made in the shape of thea person who happened- to• be most unpopular at the time. It was quite admissible to burn Judas under different shapes, and some- times these summary autos-da-fe were multiplied to suit the occasion and the temper of the people. At the same time rattles were sold on the streets and uni- versally bought alike by children and adults, by rich and poor, to grind the bones of Judas, and the objectionable noise—second in hideousness only to that of our own sending of of 'fireoraok- ars on the Fourth of July—was reli- giously kept up all day. In the year of our Lord 1863 Judas was burned in Mexico on. the Plaza Mayor under the shapes of General Forey, Napoleon III, and last, but not least, M. Dubois de Saligny, who especially was roasted with a will amid the wild execrations of the populace. The Light Side of Nature.

THE SLOAN b1EDICINE HAMILTOI. ' Dear Sirs : . 4 1' For years I was troubled with periodical sick headaches, being infected usually every Sunday, and used all !the re- medies that were advertised as cures, and was treated by almost everydarter in Guelph, but without any relief.: One doctor told 'me it was caused bya weak stomach, another said it was hereditary and incurable. I wax induced by a neighbor to try Sloan's Indian Tonic, and am happy to sayI did so. A few doses gave irnitteate relief, and one bottle and a half made. a com- plete cure. etr r • This was three years ago, and the head- aches have never returned. I w'irt also troubled with asthma and nothing helped me like your Sloan's Indian Tonic, I can heartily recommend it to all, and `;will be glad to give any particulars to any one afflicted as I was.
