AT JASPER.
A Monster Audience Greets Alabama's Statesman, Morgan-Walker
 County All Right.

JASPER, July 19.-[Special. 1-senator John T. Morgan spoke here today. There were at least 2500 people in attendance. The senator began speaking at Il o'clock, and held the audience spell bound for three and half hours. It was a masterly effort and did much good for democracy.
 The people of Jasper had prepared bar becue on an immense scale. Every part of the county was represented and many came in from adjoining counties.
 Our people all love Senator Morgan, and are always anxious to hear his advice. It is now believed by the most conservative that Walker will elect the democratic county ticket and give Oates nice ma jorty, though the county gave Kolb 400 majority last election.
 The senator goes to Sulllgent from here.

THE USE OF THE EYES.
Harmful to Neglect to Wear Glasses When
 They Are Needed.

'sDo you not think that much harm re- suits from the use of improper glasses?" asked representative of the Boston Her ald of an oeulist
 II think 1t is very injurious to wear glasses unsuited to tho eyes. It is also very harmful to neglect to wear glasses when the eyes require them.
 There is hardly a known ailment which cannot be said in some cases to have its origin in defective eyesght. Headache, pains in the back, nausea, vertigo, arc all symptoms of eye troubles" :"
 "Is it possible to have an affection of the eyes without knowing it?'
 "Yes, for the reason that it manifests itself in so many different ways. Usual ly, however your family physician begins to suspect something when he finds that his remedies for your ailments have had no effect. If you have periodic headaches, sick headaches and the like, your physician will probably send you to an oculist." '"
 If it is true, as there are many reasons to believe, that these diseases are caused by defective eyesight, then the eye becomes a much more important factor than mere visual organ, and we are able to see that if the eye be evil" there is no esti- mating how great is that darkness. "
 Yet, notwithstanding tho fact that tho eye is our best friend and that blindness is generally considered the worst of bodily afflctions, we continue our ''pennywise' policy of reading the little tidbits in tho newspapers today and making up for it at the end by the rebellion of the eyes against such long continued abuse.
 Then when we feel the need of some compromise with nature we commit tho next worst fault of selecting our own glasses
 "There is only one class of people, says an eminent oculist, 'who can safely se- lect a pair of glasses without the advice of a specialist, and that is the class who have never had any trouble with their eyes until tho age of 40. Then 1t can usual ly be assumed that the cause of failing eyesight is increasing age, and this is cas- fly corrected"
 1t is especially dangerous, said my doctor of the hospital, "for nearsighted people to select their own glasses. In nearly all cases they choose lens which is too strong, and this only increases the error of refraction in tho eye"
 1T have read that seven out of every ten persons have some error of refraction which requires correction with glasses. Do you think that defective eyesight is be- coming more prevalent than formerly?"
 With advancing civilization, tho doc tor replied, "the causes for eye strain be- como more numerous, and then, of course we know more about the eye and are able to detect it's faults more readily"

GYPSlES IN HUNGARY.
They Increase In Spite of Persecution and
 Are Interchangeable.


 In Hungary there arc, according to a rough estimate, about 150, GOO gypsies, vagabonds who wander about tho country with their carts and horses, accompanied by their women and children, and though at one time persecuted as unbelievers and hunted to death as sorcerers and poisoners the cruel edicts which enjoined such treat ment were never sympathized in by tho Hungarian people. The result is that the gypsies have increased, and in their own thriftless, squalid fashion prospered, de- spite the hard usage they have received at the hands of their rulers.
 Indeed the Hungarian kings have more than once protected them as ''poor wan dering people without country and whom all the world rejected and granted them safe conducts to go wherever seemed good to them with their troops of donkeys and horses Joseph II of Austria tried to set tie them as agriculturists and had huts built for them. But instead of occupying the comfortable dwellings themselves they stabbed their cattle in them and pitched their tents outside Then to prevent their corn from sprouting they boiled it before sowing and though their children wero taken from them and trained up into habits of work under Magyar and German peasants these wildlings soon escaped and joined their parents without having learn ed anything from their forcible apprentice ship to civilization. It is affirmed that a gypsy who had actually risen to the rank of an officer in tho Austrian army disap- peared ono day and was found six months afterward with band of Zingari en- camped on the heath
 A young Sloyack peasant fell in love with and married gypsy girl, but in his absence she escaped to the woods, and when discovered was sleeping under the skies and feeding on hedgehogs, after the fashion of the race from whom she had been taken. The Abbe Liszt, charmed with the talent for music displayed by a gypsy boy, took him to Paris and tried to train the little lad But all in vain. The moment he saw his own people in Vienna his delight was indescribable. There was no longer any hope of keeping him under tho restraint of polite life.-"Peoples of the World"

If you are contemplating building a house, have all the woodwork in its natrl, ral grain and do not profane it with paint or enamel A sure sign of the ad. vance of culture and taste made by tho present generation is tho desire for natli. ral wood ornamentation. In tho long run it is much moro economical than painted wood, or it does not require so much cleanj ing and no renewal of paint. The oiled wood is prettiest of all, and if any grains ing is resorted to at all it should be ins dulged ill sparingly. Georgia pine takes an exquisite polish and grain. Washing ton Star.
