Now generally known and conceded by
all oculists and educated physicians that
certain So-called ''eye diseases of years
gone by, as well as many cases of chronic
headache, neuralgia and nervous prostra-
ton in children, as well as in adults, are
due to a defective construction OF the eye

ANOTHER HEROINE.

Dear Union SigndI,-Having read In
your paper of Lady Henry Somerset's
courage in having her sons twenty
first birthday celebrated without in
toxicants, wish to tell an incident Of
greater moral courage which happen
ed in Australia while I was there.
Among the ''upper STRATA of socie-
ty in the city Of Melbourne, the Gus
tom prevailed of having intoxicating
drinks at all dinners, banquets and re-
captions. The result was that all the
late American consuls became so en-
shaved that, being unfit to transact bus
mess, they were reported to the home
government, and removed one by one.
At last one was sent whose wife was
white ribboner. The w. @. T. U.
captured her as soon as possible, and
secured her influence in the organic
alton. At her husbands first Fourth
of July reception no intoxicants were
served, though in this she stood alone
among the circle in which she moved,
not even her husband being a total
abstainer.
1t took no little courage to deviate
from the customs of society in a
strange land, among those who had
kindly taken her into companionship.
Yet with the same dauntless spirit of
our beloved Mrs. Hayes she stood
firmly for the right, and thus became
a reprover of evil. Since returning
home have re ceived a letter from
dear friend, saying: "Mr. and Mrs.
Wallace have held anothtr reception
without wines or other intOXicants."

self. Upon arriving at Atlanta he char
tered hack, and with that fine scorn
of pecuniary considerations characters
tic of his profession ordered the driver
to convey him to the "best hotel III
town. Entering the really gorgeous
caravansary, he dropped his grip before
the desk, held pen poised above the
register and inquired, "What kind of "A
room can you give me and how much?'

sallow complexion, dropping mustache
and long goatee, replied i'll an inditfer-
ent sort of tone, "Well, sub, All ken

repeated the visitor, facetiously mimick-
ing the soft southern accent, "then |

The Worlds Merchant Navy.

Recent statistics of the mercantile
navy of the world give the total number
of sailing vessels now afloat measuring
over so tons as 25, $40, with an aggre-
gate tonnage of 9,323, 995 tons. OF this
number Great Britain comes first with
S,793 ships of 3, 1888, COZ tons. The Unit
ed States is second with 1924 vessels
and l,362,317 tons. Norway is third,
with nearly 1000 less vessels than the
United States, but nearly the same
amount of tonnage. France occupies
only the eighth rank, between Sweden
and Greece.
In regard to the steamers, England
counts 5,771 vessels, with nearly TO-
OOO,0 tons. Germany, which comes
second, has 826 steamers of 1906 III
tons; France third, with sol steamers
and 864, 59S tons, while the United
States holds fourth place, with 447

In the Museum of Natural History
at Soleure, in Switzerland, there is a
birds nest made entirely of steel.
There are a number of clock making
shops at Soleure; and in the yards of
these shops there are often found ly-
ing disused or broken springs of
clocks. One day clock maker no
ticed in tree in his yard a birds
nest of peculiar appearance. Ex-
aiming it, he found that pair Of
wagtails had built a nest entirely of
clock springs. It was more than four
inches across, and perfectly comfort
able for the birds. After the feather
ed architects had reared their brood,
the nest was taken to the Museum,
where it is preserved as a striking il
lustration of the skill of birds in turn
ing their surroundings to advantage
in building their nests.

"A Maine Yankees Scheme of Providing
Them With Iron Jib Booms.

A Maine Yankees Scheme of Providing
Them With Iron Jib Booms.
There is down east fisherman who
recently evolved q brainy scheme for
making Holsters grow rapidly, and to
this man the ''almond eyed Celestial
will have to tip his hat in future.
Captain j. R. Mcdonald of the
schooner Morning Light arrived at this
port Sunday night with $500 Holsters
During the recent trip of the schooner
the captain put into the little fishing
hamlet of South Addison to see If any
of the inhabitants had any Holsters to
dispose of. He found a man named
Crowley, who had several hundred for
sale, and trade was Immediately
agreed upon. Captain Mcdonald laid
his schooner alongside of Crowley's lob
ster cars, and the transfer of Holsters
began. The purchaser noticed that the
Holsters were not any too large, so he
thought it might be a good plan to
measure one.
Possibly many of The Argus readers
are not familiar with the methods en-
ployed in measuring Holsters, SO a few
words of explanation on this point may
not be amiss. At one end of lobster S
body is little pointed projection which
the fishermen call "jibboom. In
measuring lobster the distance is taken
from the end of the ''jibboom" to the
tip of his tail. If it is 101a inches or
over, the lobster is o. K. If it is even
sixteenth of an inch less than this, the
lobster is all wrong-in the state Of
Maine-and it is apt to prove very ex-
pensive for any man being found with
many of them in his possession.
Captain Mcdonald picked up one of
the wriggling crutaceans and applied
his measuring stick, when, greatly to
his surprise, the lobster's ''Jibboom
began to disappear inside of his shell.
On making a closer examination Cap
tain Mcdonald found this particular
Holsters jibboom was made OF metal.
On pulling it from the shell he discov-
cred that it consisted of piece of
rusty iron nail filed down to point,
and as the Holsters were green the de-
ception would only be discovered by a
close scrutiny. OF course the object OF
the trick was at once apparent, being
simply to make the lobster = inches
long.
On examining 30 of the Holsters
which had been placed on board the
schooner, Captain Mcdonald found ten
of them with "iron constitutions, SO
to speak, and he promptly threw them
overheard.
A man with ingenuity enough TO
make such an alteration on lobster, as
just related, should never waste his
time in little down east fishing ham,
let. He ought to go to Chicago, where
he could find broader field for his tai
nts.-Eastern Argus.

FREELY GIVE.

It was in Burmah, and at Mandelay,
the Capital The idol was being wor
SHIPPED. Women brought their Of
ferings. Four large golden candle
sticks of elaborate workmanship, pre-
sented by the four queens of Mande-
lay, we're placed beside it, with many
other costly gifts. Gold and silver
were poured into the treasury day by
day. Old women would totter up to
the sacred enclosure, and slowly un-
rolling old soiled handkerchiefs,w would
place precious stone, or roll of gold
leaf, the savings of years, and make
an offering of them. Mothers would
take from their children their brace
lets and necklaces, and divesting
themselves Of their own ornaments,
add them to the general store. Some
cut off their hair for an offering, and
one poor old woman in the warmth of
her zeal, cut off a finger and burned
it up!
One aged woman wishing to do
something in honor of the senseless
god, made vow to walk seven times
around the sacred enclosure. She
went around it six times, but before
TIE seventh was accomplished, fell
down dead.
These women, when converted,
made the same sacrifices for Christ.
A missionary at the Decennial con-
ference said: cone of our best g1vers
is poor woman of the tree imbing
caste, blind in one eye. She works in
the field, has an income of seventy
five cents per month, and gives one
tenth of this to the Church, and
handful of rice daily besides.''

I had a widows son committed to
my care. He was heir to great es-
tate. He went through the different
stages of college, and finally left, with
a good moral character and bright
prospects. But during the course of
his education he had heard the SEN
timent advanced, which / then sup
posed correct, that the use of wines
was not only admissible, but a real
auxiliary to the temperance cause.
After he had left college a few years
he continued respectful to me. At
length he became reserved. One night
he rushed unceremoniously into my
room, and his appearance told the
dreadful secret. He said he came to
talk with me. He had been told dur
ing his senior year that it was safe to
drink wine, and by that idea he had
been ruined. 1 asked him if his moth
er knew this. He said no; he had
carefully concealed it from her. [
asked him if he was such a slave that
he could not abandon the habit.
"Talk to me of slavery" he said; 81

I shall quarrel with the bar keeper of
