Always Keep to the Right.

Tho polite lodging that sometimes
occurs between pnssers in narrow
passage was happily solved once by a
tall, ungraceful, bulky Vermonter,
who extricated both from tho position
by saying, eff you will stand still,
madam, | will go home" Joseph
Ritchie, OF Roxbury, used to tell an
experience of his in the days when
ladies' gowns trailed on sidewalks and
in street cars, and their tempers
flashed out if anybody trodupon them.
Looking straight at the flushed cheeks
and wrinkled forehead, "I excuse you
ma'am," said Mr.. Richie, with old
school pohteness. Boston Transcript.

The Wanted protection of the seals
in Alaskan water is myth, in the
opinion OF the New York Mail and Ex-
press. Secretary Carlisle reports that
l2l,l43 were killed by pelagic sealers
last year. This statement has caused
suggestion to be made in Congress
that the Government undertake the
slaughter of the remaining seals, esti-
mated to number $50, 900, and sell the
skins, which would be valued at So.
100000 if properly cured. 1t is
strange that the two grentest Govern.
ments in the world cannot protect the
seals. Possibly there is some reason
not apparent on the surface why this
is so.

nowadays operate on a cataract or cross

United States know how to correct eyes
properly Most anyone can be made to see

them are using the right kind He
claims that the whole United States has
not six experts that know how to correct
eyes properly. Experts in any line are
very scarce article.

sands of watch makers that we have in

will tell you what he does not know

then they get a piece of paper which
is hung on the wall, signed by some per-
son in Chicago or elsewhere, and the
person that signs the name to that paper
we claim don't know how to correct eyes
