Take Care Of Your Eyes.

Persons having tendency to
weakness of sight, or those expert
encing unusual fatigue Of the eyes
in reading, or similar occupation
requiring close vision, should re-
sort to the aid of glasses immedi-
ately. Nothing is gained by wait
ing and much may be lost. But 1t
is important to have the right
kind of glasses. Do not buy them
of venders who have no knowledge
of optical science, but go to Hirsch-
field, the practical optician, who
will give you pair of glasses that
will suit you, whether your case be
weak sight, old sight, near sight or
astigmatism.

Of three, to conduct correspondence
and collect all information bearing
( on the subject, call future meetings
and take all needful measures to

Your committee believe that more

the presentation of facts than by
heightened resolutions. Owing to
the fact that most of the vinicultur-
lists are at present engaged in wine.
making, 1t is very difficult to secure

Indis,inct Ailments.

There are many distressing symptoms
ofdisease the causes Of which are uncer-
tain. Debility, nervous irritation, men.
tai stupor and headache, for instance,
may possibly be symplomatic of chronic
disease in some particular organ: yet, in
a large majority OF cases. at least, they
rise from Indigestion and morbid CON-
ditions OF the liver and bowels, engen-
dered by a foul stomach. When this is
the case, q few doses of Hostetter's
stomach Bitters will usually effect
complete cure; but, should The symp-
toms be only mitigated, without being
entirely removed, by brief course OF
the remedy, let 1t be continued until
every trace OF disease has vanished.
Dyspepsia is a wonderful mimic. 1t i'm
ltates with startling accuracy the Indi-
cations OF heart disease, BRAIN disease,
kidney disease, and half dozen other
trightful ailments, and when the doctors
have solemnly announced the existence
of one or the other of these oom mplaints,
half q dozen doses of the Bitters will in
most cases explode their theories by
curing the patient.

Who Loses the Eight Cents.
Here is the way the New York
Graphic illustrates it:

Here is the way the New York
Graphic illustrates it:
Seventy or eighty papers have
come to hand this week inquirIng in a
pathetic Voice, who it is that loses the
eight cents when q laborng man
takes a ninety-two cent silver piece
for a dollar. Now, this is the very
thing that has puzzled us. lfa carpen-
ter receives from the government a
ninety-two cent silver piece for a
dollar, and passes it upon his hatcher
fora dollar, and the butcher passes
it upon the shoemaker for a dollar,
and the shoemaker passes it upon his
landlord for a dollar, and the landlord
passes it for dollar upon mason for
work on the new state-house and the
mason passes it for a dollar to a mer.
chant for a silk dress for his wife,
and tho merchant passes it for a dol
lar to the custom house officer for
import duties, and the United States
treasury passes it as a dollar to SOL
der and the soldier passes it to the
same carpenter herein before pre-
viously mentioned, We are unable
to see who has lost the
eight cents. Happy thought-per-
haps the loss fell on the same man
who did not get it Seriously, the
same man who lost the eight cents
who loses sixteen cents every time he
takes four silver quarters, that have
only eighty-four, cents worth OF sill
yer in them. But, even then, the
the five cents nickcls puzzle us. In
a dollars worth of these there is only
nineteen cents worth of metal. Now
will some of the editors who lie awake
nights to figure such things out please
to inform Us who it is that loses tho
eichty-one cents every time dollars
worth of nicklels is passed? Wh'
loses four cents every time five cen
piece is paid for a glass of lager or
car ride? The little copper cent
are even a greater robbery. We hav'
not the heart to 90 into calculation
as to how many million dollars ar
wrung from the horny-han1ed bond
holders every day in the passage Q
| this debased cent, but it is iuconcci7
able how an opponent Of the B|an
bill can pass one of these fraudu|en
token-even at a Instrumentation
blushing for the perfidy of his race.

To Prevent Moths.

If small pieces of paper or linen,
moistoued with turpentine, be placed in
wardrobes or draws, two or three times a
wear, it will etfectual|y prevent any dam:
age from moths. When thrs are packed
away in the Spring, they should be beat
en- well with a rattan, in order to dis
lodge any eggs of the moth; afterward
brush thoroughly and sew up carefully
in linen pillow case over all pin news
papers, leving no crevice where an insect
could insinuate himself. 1t would be
we'll to paste the edges Of the paper to-
gether. II we'll done, you need not teal
for the most valuable turs.
