IMPERFECT VISION

is caused by the length and shape of
the eyeball. When the proper dimen-
sions of the eye are accurately ascer-
tanned it is easy to prescribe the proper
glasses.
But by the methods commonly in
vogue, glasses are fitted by the occulist
trying successive test glasses until the
patient selects combination which he
thinks improves his vision. This is
only guess work on the part of both.
Glasses given under such conditions
rarely give perfect satisfaction, owing
to the eyes becoming easily confused
when being tested.
By DR.. Shelmardin's original meth
DDS an accurate measurement of the
irregularities of the cornea, and the
length of the eyeball is taken by scien-
tific instruments, which record results
that do not vary fraction of an inch.
One instrument proves another, thus
making mistake absolutely impos-
sible.
He has fitted many hundreds and
given universal satisfaction.
Every pair of glasses are especially
ground to suit the peculiarities of each
case, and guaranteed.
AS all examinations are free it will
cost you nothing to find out whether
your vision can be benefited or not.
DR.. E. K Shelmerdine:
Dear Sir-I send this note to say that
the glasses you fitted for me give very
great satisfaction, and you are at lib
erty to use my name in commentator
of your work.

than formerly, while for close work
they are very restful to my eyes.

A novel way of decorating room,
or table is to buy cut tulips or other
straight stemmed flowers. such as
camellias. and at the same time sew
eral turnips of equal size. These should
be cut in the shape of bulbs. Make a
hole at the top, insert the flower and
cover the sham bulb with moss. dried
moss preferable. Cut the bottom of
the turnip fiat to make it stand firm
and then dot about supper table or
otherwise. The effect is very pretty.

DELUGED WITH LETTERS.
An Illinois Woman Who Started a
"Chain" and Now Wishes She Hadn't.

Mrs Edna X Garman probably receives
more letters than any other person in the
United States She started "chain' in
stamp collecting some time ago. and now
she wishes she hadn't. She receives from
10000 to 10000 letters full of stamps
dav. and there seems no way of shutting
off the flood Of mssives. Mrs. Garman is
resident of Kanevile. Ills. and until her
recent marriage was Miss Edna r. Brown.
She is native of Jefferson county, n Y,
and removed four years ago to kancville,
where she became engaged to Charles Gar
man. whose sister Nettie was suffering
from a spinal trouble and was a cripple
Miss Brown heard that cripple in Syca-
more. Ills, was making a collection of
81 600, 600 cancelled stamps by the sale of
which he expected to raise money sufficient
to huy him cork leg, and undertook
similar collection. with view of securing
medical treatment for Miss Nettie Garman.
Some one suggested that she try the
'chain' idea. and 80 letters were sent out
asking as many people to each send ten
cancelled stamps to Miss Brown and then
request three friends to do likewise and
continue the chain. As each link OF the
chain was treble the preceding link, it did
not take long to start an immense guam
THY of letters full of Cancelled stamps to-
ward Kaneville. For example. the first
eight links of the chain, presuming that
every person appealed to sent letter,
resulted in Miss Browns receiving some
Ash, $50 letters.
In one day Postmaster Shoellhern deliv-
cred 30, 600 letters to her. She already has
learned to her regret, that they cannot be
sold Since she has learned this fact and
since she became Mrs Garman the stamp
heroine is praying for relief from the deluge
of letters, some Of which contain offers of
marriage. 1t seems unfortunate that the
charitably disposed people, who desired to
help the crippled girl, could not have given
her 2 cents, instead of spending . cents for
postage. As it costs $500 to send 90, 600
letters, the money expended for one days
worthless mail would have netted the
cripple substantial sum.

which came in with January and 90 out

Cora Ofy, daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. Brothman was born Sep tember End, 1890, and died Feb uary 2nd, 1895. She caught on fire while out playing near fire with her little brother. Alter about eight hours of suffering, the beautiful angel came and bore the little darling home to rest. She leaves father, mother, two broth CTS, and a sister to mourn her loss. She was sweet child and loved by all who knew her. Dear par ents, take courage and go forward and may we all meet little Ofy in in that land where there is neither sorrow, pain, nor death.
