ONE of the greatest blessings of the present age comes to us in the form of an eye tester, which is termed the ophthalmoscope,a an instrument designed expressly to get perfect adjustment of spectacles or eye glasses to the hu- man eye. Mir William Kirk has, at quite an expense, procured this instru- ment, by which, in an incredible short time, he can fit the eye perfectly, and at no further expense than the usual price of his spectacles. Instead of pay ing from three to five dollars for med ical examination, then adding the price of the spectacles, making bill of from five to ten dollars, a person can without cost (except for the lenses) go to MT Kirk and be fitted perfectly, either in convex, concave or cylindrical lenses. All the phases of disturbance in the vision either persbyopia, hyperopla' myopia or astigmatism is at once cor rected by this finely adjusted instru- ment, and it is remarkable how quickly it can be done, and what is more 1t can be done with greater precision by th1s instrument than in any other way. There is an absolute law about 1t as infexible as any other law of mechan- ism. We advise all to see this simple yet positively remarkable instrument.

Steel rails are now $35 per ton in the United States, but before the tariff had country the price of English rails was S165 per ton. How, then, does the tariff benefit the producer if he permits the cost of his goods to be diminished? The answer is that protection enables an in dustry to establish itself and then gives 1t the control of the home markets, where it never could have obtained a footing in the face of foreign competi- tion.-[ Boston Advertiser.
