manner calculated to convulse even a

name of a well-to-do old granger was called
and he stepped upon the stand carrying a
double barrel shotgun in his hand.

Tie transparent and eolorIess rock

has one section of the surface cleaned and
polished SO the purchaser can see what he
buys. These humps are cut up by fine
rotary saws. running at a high speed, and
most of such work is done in Scotland,

tanned some time ago and the machinery

Lenses of that kind are very expensive,
but then they are actually invaluable to
the wearer, who positively could not do
without them.
Any peddler of an average intelligence
can sell you pair of spectacles which,
upon the first instance, would suit your
eyes well; but it takes a good knowledge
of the eye and its defects to fit you with a
pair of glasses that will really benefit YOU

is good deal of harm done by the inju-
