The Increasing uss OF EyssIases.


The Increasing use OF Eyesiases.
ANY one who goes among the sum-
mer hotels or resorts where numbers
OF people are congregsted is constantly
struck with the increasing use Of spec
tacles and eyeglasses among young
people. It would seem that almost
one-half Of our: boys and girls from
fve.to y6fssaR+ fad need of ,aE,ifieisl
aid to vision. The smallest youngest
now talks about astigmatism and
myopia in quite Termed way and the
fash of his glasses as he frolics about
In the sunshine or bends over his oat-
meal is quite binding. The young girl
looks innocently out upon the world
through gold-bowed spectacles, and the
young man carefully adjusts his eye-
glasses before venturing upon tennis or
cricket. The increasing use of glasses
among American people is very notice.

rapid development and more luxu-

specialists. Meanwhile it would ap-
pear that the apparent need of the race
for better eyesight would, according
to the doctrine of evolution, bring
about change in future generations.

The way she looks troubles the
woman who is delicate, rundown, or
Overworked. She's hollow checked,
dull-eyed, thin, and pale, and it wor-
ries her. Now, the way to look well
Is to be well. And the way TO be
well, if you're any such woman, is to
faithfully use DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. That is the only medi-
cine that's guaranteed to build up
woman's strength and to cure woman's
ailments. In every "female COM
plaint," irregularity, or weakness, and
in every exhausted condition of the
female system--if it ever fails to ben
eft or cure, you have your money

The evil effects Of ignorance among
the great masses of Eastern voters,
in political affairs, is becoming more
and more apparent daily, as is evil
denced by the following article on
point, from one Of the great Eastern
dailies. "Every day more clearly
teaches the necessity Of substantial
educational qualifications for voters
at our elections. The bitterness Of
race conflicts in the South has led TO
its adoption in number of the South
ern States, but it is in the great North
where the herds of ignorant voters do
most congregate. There is not a
single attribute Of justice in permit
ting man to exercise the sovereign
power of our citizenship who cannot
read the Constitution or the laws Of
the country, or even the ticket that
he deposits in the ballot-box, and the
sooner the great States of the North
shall adopt an educational qualilica-
ton Of voters the sooner will our
political system be elevated to a much
higher plane.
There is no excuse for ignorance
in this free land where free schools
are open to all, and it should be the
positive law Of every Commonwealth
that only those capable of reading
and understanding the laws, and Of
reading the ticket that he proposes to
vote, should be permitted to exercise
the sovereignty of our bcnelicent
citizen.

THE many friends and admirers OF
the distinguished Kentucky states
man, Senator John G. Carlisle, will
learn with regret that after being in
close conference with President-eIect
Grover Cleveland, as an honored
guest at the latter's home, the Senator
has returned to his home at Washing
ton, without signifying in any way
his willingness to accept portfolio
in the new cabinet, although it is an
open secret that such position has
been rendered him by the President
elect in person. 1t is thought that
the wishes of Mrs, Carlisle, the Sena'
tors wife, will have a great bearing
upon his future action in the matter
That his failure TO enter the cabinet
will lose for Mr.. Cleveland one Of the

the mechanic, who, though negligent
in preparation, allows himself to DO

The Turkey buzzards that are to be
seen in New Jersey, and that appear to
be working their way northward in con.
siderable numbers, have changed-or,
rather, extended-their habitat within

no buEzards in this latitude. They are
unclean creatures, and II angry or
alarmed will vomit at the object that has
enraged or startled them. In Southern
cities they are protected by law, for they
act as scavengers, and focks Of them
may always be seen about the markets
watching for offal. They become as tame
as poultry, allowing men to approach
within few feet Of them. Their voices
are harsh and croaking, and they have
lop-sided run, as II they were lama In
