The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things arerighti in my
line, and the optical business
is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimated in such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
objects we'll, yet are con-
stantly troubled with per-
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oC-
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight,
and requires the same treat
ment.
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.
1t is ourbuSineSS to supply
you with only these.

TO GET INTO THE NAVY.
How a Boy May Become a United
States BIuejacAet.

How a Boy May Become a United
States BIuejacket.
When a boy wishes to become a sailor
in the navy he applies to one of the three
receiving ships. They are the Vermont
at the New York navy yard the Wabash
at the Boston yard and the Richmond at
the League Island navy yard in Philadel-
phfa. The boys must be between IA and
Is years of age, sound in health and be
able to read and write to some extent.
No distinction is made in race, and it is
a singular fact that the colored boys who
apply are almost invariably able to read
and write better than the white boys.
On board the Vermont the only reading
test applied is contained on card, which
is as follows:
BE it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives Of the United States,
in congress assembled, that fraudulent
enlistment and the receipt of any pay or
allowance hereunder is hereby declared
an offense against naval discipline, and
tiai.''
what l have just read to you is law
of the United States. and it means that
if you do not tell the truth about your
age, parents or guardians, or if you are
a deserter from the naval or military ser
vice, you may be tried by court martial,
put in prison, or punished in some way.
The last paragraph of this is what boys
are not very strict about the hard words,
and so almost any boy can pass the test.
After being admitted Uncle Sam gives
each boy an outfit. His parents or guar
dian must sign a paper giving him to
the government until he is q years of
age. He becomes. known at once as a
third-rate apprentice, and in a. few days
he is sent to a training school at New
port. where he is taught rudimentary
things about a sailors life and work.
After remaining at Newport for six
months he is transferred to one of two
training ships These are the Essex and
the Alliance. He remains on one of these
for six months and takes a cruise.
On the voyage he learns how to handle
the sails, how to sew and splice and how
to handle guns. Innumerable other things
about sailors life he also picks up, and
when he returns he is transferred to a
modern man-of-war, where hei becomes
an apprentice of the second class. Here
he takes his place with the regular crew,
and has his allotted share of the daily
routine to perform. He is examined every
three months and usually he becomes an
apprentice of the first class in six months
when he has a rank that corresponds to
the rank of seaman with sailors.-Har-

He takes advantage of the delicate
qualitative power of The sense of smell;
that is, of its ability tc discriminate
between doors, be they different only
by very little. He finds that if some
very characteristic odor be mingled
with the one to be measured there is
a certain proportion OF the two where
they balance, as it were, and form
what he calls a neutral odor.'' In this
sta1e the addition of a very little more
of either scent causes that one to pre-
dominate. When they are thus bal
anced, the intensities of the two doors
are equal, and by properly choosing
standard odor we can thus compare
all others with it and hence indirectly,
with each other
This is the way NJ. Mesnard goes to
work TO make his measurement The
perfume whose intensity IS to be meas
ured, or the object that gives it off, say
bunch of violets, is confined under
bell glass. The odor OF turpentine is
pumped in by squeezing rubber bulp
till the neutral odor' is obtained, the
experimental keeping WATCH as it
were, by smelling at. a connecting tube.
Then the mixed scents are admitted,
little bit at a time, into a jar con-
tanning glowing phosphorus. The
amount admitted is registered by the
turns of handle and the number of
turns necessary to put out the phos-
phorus gives the measure of the guam
tity of turpentine, and hence of the in
tenSIty of the odor that was neutral
lied by it.
We may expect, if such measure
ments as this are to be carried out very
frequently, great increase of delicacy
in smell among those who perform
them. AT present this sense has been
much neglected. The processes of evo-
luton have passed it by on one side
in the human species, although in
others-the dog, for instance-it has
been marvellously developed. But as
certain modern authorities have point
ed out, man has, to a great extent,
taken his evolution into his own hands.
Perhaps NJ. Mesnard is giving us a
little shove toward an almost dog-like
perfection of scent-New York Jour-
nal.

HIS PANAMA HAT.

Assistant Secretary MctAdoo Pays $40
For the Genuine Article.
When Assistant Secretary of the
Navy McAdoo went down south on the
United States steamer Columbia last
year. he followed the example set by
many new travellers and secured a me-
ner.o of every place visited. At Pan
ANA he concluded that the best thing
he could buy to remember the country
and at the same time secure a useful
result was to purchase panama nat.
Hats of the genuine quality are eX-
pensive, but he was in a liberal mood,
ard SO. when the dealer showed him a.
hat of such expensive texture as to per-
nit it to be folded and passed through
a. napkin ring without damaging, and
asked $40 for the same, he took il with
out a murmur. The hat was a beauty,
and he placed it carefully away in MS
trunk Last Monday was hot weather,
and he concluded to bring fortn MS
$40 genuine panama hat. He qua SO
and received several compliments on ms
way from his home to the navy de-
partme emit.
There several of his friends spoke of
the handsome headgear, and the assist
ant secretary, considerably fiattered
over the universal approval of his Sc
lection, held forth in eloquent manner
on the excellence of the purchase ana
desirability of getting things right on
the spot to insure their being genuine.
In the midst of one of his eloquent
bursts a newspaper man, who mad PICK
ed 11p the hat, looked closely on the I'm
ing and discovered there the brand OF a
New York hat manufacturer, reveal
ing the horrible truth that the $40 hat
had been made in New York and sent
down to Panama for sale. The hagh re-
gard for the home readers of this paper
forbids publishing the assistant secre-
tary's remarks Some men folks may
imagine them. If so, they might get a
further insight into what the assistant
secretary said after learning that his

New York for IS, by closely punctuating

ton points.-Wash ing Eon Post.

WHY sEwALL IS OR FREE SILVER
He Does Not Look on it as Against
the Interests of Bankers and
Rich Men.

81 have been an advocate Of silver ever
since congress demonetized that metal
in 1871 said Mr.. Sewell with emphasis.
II held at the time that a mistake had
been made, and have had no reason since
to change my mind.
You are a banker and at the head
of the largest bank in Bath How do you
account Tor the fact that your position
on this question is not sustained by the
leading bankers of the country"
There are two sides to every queS-
ton, and as an individual banker l have
a perfect right to take a position opposite
those who constitute the majority in the
banking business" said Mr.. Sewall. AS
| said before this is not a. sectional ques-
ton nor class issue. 1t is not true that
the banks and the moneyed interests OF
the United States are as a unit in the
no means an exception TO this rule. In the
far east as in the west there are many
manufacturers, business men and men
with vast interests at stake, who are most
emphatically opposed to the longer con-
tinuance of discrimination in favor of
gold AS the question becomes better
