GOT HIS SPECTA Giles FIXED.

One day last week man, who goes about town
ringing bell and yelling Take notus," &c,
stopped In at first ward boarding house, and be-
gan to astonish the boarders with questions and
conundrums. Presently he asked one young fel
low what his business was, and what he did for q
living and the young man said he mended spec
tacles.
you're list the man / want to see" said the
crier "Ive got a pair of specs that used to be
good, but somehow they don't do as well as they
used to-"
That's easily explained" said the young man
"Your eyes are too old for them. The glasses
should be taken out and ground thinner, and then
they'll suit your age better I'll fix them all right
for you If you want"
The crier assented, and producing his spectaces
left them with the young man. and agreed to call
for them in few hours. Then he went on his
way, ringing his bell and yelling, Take notus.
The young man. who probably never had specta
cles in his hand before, gave the glasses good
washing rubbed them dry with piece ofchamois
skin, and wrapping them carefully up In tissue
paper, waited for the owner to call for them
When he came, the young man gave him his spec
tacles and told him to try them, and he picked W
newspaper, set his glasses on his nose, and
throwing his head back began gazing at the pa
per- first holding it close to his eyes, then moving
1t gradually away, till it was at arms length
After he had tested the matter thoroughly, hi
paid the young man a half dollar, and remarked
with satisfaction:
"IKin see much better with them. They're i'm
proved wonderful, an wouldn't begrudge payin
on inviting the people to Take nOtus."

WE would recommend the study of geography
to the chief pencil whittier of the Rep. Last week
he informed his readers that Matthews, of the New
Philadelphia Democrat, had gone to Pueblo, Cali
fornia. This led to no particularly harmful re-
suit but 1t tends to confuse the minds of those
school children who are compelled by solicitOus
parents, to read that modest and religious she, t.
They have all been taught by their lessons in
geography to believe that Pueblo is in Colorado,
but of course, on seeing that item in such relia.
BILE paper as the Rep, they were bound to consider
their text books as worthless, and to rest assured
that Pueblo is In California. Thus are the young
ideas confused iu their search for knowledge.
