THE IRON KING.

"My dear. pray what shall we doE'
Once askel my loving wife;
We have no cook, you know, now,
To stem the kitchens strife;
This STOPPING and cooking
Over fires large and hot,
Is perplcxing and vexing,
Oh! who has ielt It not?
THE labors of the kitchen,
Since our negroes went away,
Were both toilsome and irksome,
And still are 50 to-day;
Can't you Tighten and brighten
This load OF heavy care,
That distresses, Expresses,
And drives me to despair? ?"
Said /, I'm go to FULToN's
And there "A stove I'll buy,
No matter what the price is,
An Iron KING I'll try;
Then roasting and toasting,
Will not wear away your life,
But a pleasure and treasure
Be to you my angel wife,"
So down to town ] hurried,
Almost as quick as thought,
And there from JOHN 4. FULTON
An Iron KING | bought;
And now bfoiling and boiling
Are the sweetest works in life,
No more caring, despairing,
Distresses now my wife.
Farewell, We dirty negroes,
I'm independent now,
For wife can do the cooking,
With a smile upon her brow;
No whining. no repining,
No angry threatenings ring,
But my meals now, reveal now,
How cheap is Iron KING.
So now ifyou'd appease
A weary. suffering wife,
Her kitchen trials set at case,
Secure a stove for life;
It'll warm you and charm you,
Drive discomfort away,
Both your wife then, and life then
Prove sweet as flowers of May.
The above are the sentiments o
at least one hundred men, in thi

severe exertion, any malformation of the

eye should be examined. The prejudice
that it is better to postpone the use of
glasses as long as possible, is an absurd.
unscientitic superstition. Properly fitted
spectacles preserve the sight. The use Of
the Eye Meter insures a thorough test.
5. Occasionally an eye has both spher-
ical and cylindrical defects, and requires a
compound lens, combining the cylindrical
with the spherical form. The Eye-Meter
tests for such lens in a manner most
ingenius and accurate, a feature which
alone has secured for il the sanction and
encomiums of Eye Inflrmaries and Oculists

STYLES FOR SPRING.

Outdoor garments are either very long OF
very short
Straight and simple forms characterize
morning gowns
All bridal robes destined for church we'd
dings have long trains.
Many "old women capes," gathered on the
wrists from the shoulders, are worn.
Some exquisite corsets match the shade of
the silken petticoat worn with them.
The ''hermit frock," with hoop or coftan,
is made up Of plain flannel for early morning
wear.
Light suede or tan colored cloth are chosen
for the popular directoire gowns, 80 liked by
fashionable women.
The newest fancy is to perfume house
frocks by means Of satchets inserted between
the dress material and the lining.
Petticoats of satin, MORE, faille and other
fine silken stuffs, with three reeds In the
back, accompany tony" trousseaux.
Some exquisite new buttons Of mother Of
pearl, emitting opalescent CLEANS Of color,
appear upon many recherche spring suits.
Jackets Of fine white cloth, with collar,
cuffs, vest and pocket flaps Of some becoming
shade of velvet, are worn by young ladies.
Riding habits are exceptionally elegant
Dark blue melton is a favorite material, and
is made with closely buttoned, high stand
ing collar.
Stylish undergarments are Of silk, linen,
batiste, foulard, ETC., In tender shades Of
magnolia, mauve, sky blue, ETC., trimmed
with delicate lace.
Jacquettes, mantelets, pelerines and all
sorts Of winsome little capes vie in popularity
with an army Of jackets Of oil styles and
stuffs Imaginable
The monotony Of many white wedding
gowns may be varied by embroideries in
silver or pearl The latter are most becom-
ing in satin or MORE.
Young brides affect round hats for travel

jauntiness to the newly welded woman who
Is trying 30 hard to appear matroniy.
With the "old womens capes' Of light
wooden stuff, lined with silk or foulard In
quaint old designs, are worn hats, either Of
similar material In Greenaway shapes, or OF
linen, lace, tulle or gauzs.
Widow brides arc now permitted to wear
white embroidered with roses or carnations
In color. Similar flowers arc worn In the

BY THE JOHNSTON OPTICAL CO.,
OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
Why do so many complain of galsses not
exactly suited TO their vision? If your
eyes are normal, perhaps you don't care.
But you will If you live. You are drifting
toward the use of spectacles by q law as
memorable as the grave. The following
five points explain:
1. Nearly all eyes, to some extent,
Astigmatic; the majority slightly, but
many seriously so. Such AN eye, unlike a
normal one, is not equally convex on all
sides, being cylindrical in shape. Only a
lens whose surface is corrcspondingly
cylindrical will fit il. AS spherical lenses
asst, in measure, in many cases needing
cylindricals and as the latter are little
known or appreciated, few dealers are
prepared to fit eyes that require them.
Many, therefore, are fitted imperfectly,
and so injuriously. After much effort and
expense, the evil remedied by the Johnston
Optical Co., of Detroit, Mich. who have
invented an unrivaled instrument, patented
by them under the name Of the Dioptric
Eye.M Meter, which fits all kinds and COM
binations of Astigmatism, Myopia. Hyper
metrophia. Presbyopia, &c.
2. Astigmatic or cylindrical eyes differ
greatly. The cylindrical axis is found at
different angles. To determine the angle
in each case, some apparatus or instru
ment is absolutely necessary. The Eye.
Meter supplies this necessity. Withoutit its
aid the cylindrical eye is sure to be
misfitted
8 Eyes often seem fitted when they are
not. One may be cyl ndrical and the other
spherical Then the latter gets fitted and
so does all the work. Or both may be
spherical, but one stronger than the other.
and then it alone Is apt to receive the fit.
Passable sight being secured with q single
eye, the patient Is unconscious that his
other eye is failing to perform its function.
besides being injured by its abnormality
and misht. The Eye.Mcter exposes this
ignorance and fits each eye separately.
4. The most common cases calling for
optical treatment are defects in spherical
eyes, which, like cylindrical eyes, need the
test of the instrument 1t is 80 easy to
crafty the patient with a lens which gives
apparent help and yet does harm. that the
temptation is strong to make the test 30
partial and superficial as not to discover
the more serious and infrequent defects.
Thus, fifty per cent perhaps. are imperfect
ly fitted. and a large percentage OF Myopic.
