The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things areright 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 q 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.

see a decrease OF proficiency in the
military forces OF the Republic, who
would be pleased to have hand in
any movement TO discourage interest
in military affairs. Those men who
had quelled the instruction Of 1893
and who had been the supporters OF the
Government were not in favor of the
passage of the bill against target
shooting. Their pleasure should be
considered. Instead Of discouraging
the legislature they should do all in
their power 10 encourage them. To
these men the Government must needs
look in the future for help. II they
were to be discouraged in their efforts
then the country must look out for the
future. The bill was clearly detrimen-
tai TO the efficiency of the military
forces. Rep. Robertson said he did not
want TO say anything more about the
signers of the petitions against the bill,
but he knew of at least one name of a
man who was one of the rankest rebels
| in the last insurr- ction. Some of the
signers of the petition were women
and children, who perhaps did not
know any better.
Upon being put TO vote the petition
was referred TO the select committee
having such matters under consider
alton.
Consideration of the bill postponed
on account of the unavoidable absence
of Minister Cooper.
Appropriation bill taken up for con-
sideration.

THE
success I
is THE
PERFECT FILTER
BECAUSE:

Z First-The filtering medium is Tri-
poll Stone which does not receive into
its pores the filth and germs 1t extracts
and which is always the same, no
matter how long in use.
Second-The action OF the filter
downward, from an upper TO lower
jar, passes the water, drop by drop,
through the air, restoring the oxygen
thereby which the water may have lost
from stagnation, confinement, or other
wise, and imparting to it freshness OF
taste, sparkle and vitality.
Third-Its action is as rapid as is
consistent with efficacy. 4 too rapid
filtering does not wholly remove i'm
purities.
Fourth-Every part is accessible for
cleaning, and without laborious effort.
Thorough cleanliness is the chief reQu-
isite of any good filter.
F'ifth-The jars being made either Of
stoneware or porcelain insures water
being kept pure and uncontaminated
after being filtered.
Sixth-Stoneware for those who de-
sire an efficient yet low-priced filter,
and the finest porcelain, decorated to
suit, enables the SUCCESS to accom-
modate itself to the wants Of all in
the matter of price.
Seventh-Its construction admits
also of it's capacity being adapted to
suit the wants of all, from the indi-
vidual tourist to the largest hotel or
laundry.
Since introducing the Success Fill
ter, we have sold a large number of
them, and they give perfect satisfac-
ton.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Evaporating is a good way of saving
fruit when there is not good market
for it.
Some varieties of fruit, like the cherry,
after they start to grow, need little
IL any pruning.
Cultivate all orchards sparingly now.
Give the trees time to ripen their wood
before winter.
When there is an over-supply of fruit
the fallen fruit can be fed to the hogs
to good advantage.
In sending any kind of fruit to mar
ket 1t will pay to sort carefully before
packing for shipment.
In the selection of trees for plant
ing look carefully after the roots and
see that they are all right.
One advantage with low-headed trees
is that it is easier to gather the fruit
from them when it is ripe.
Better take little time to water the
young growing trees now than to run
the risk of losing the tree.
About the only objection to low-head-
ed trees is that the branches interfere
with the work of cultivating.
Early in the fall, when the growth is
completed and the wood ripened, is a
good time to prune apple trees.
All things Considered, there are few
fruits that can be grown as econom-
ically as the grapeor the cherry.
Whatever tends to promote the gen.
eral health and thrift of the tree will
also help to free both tree and fruit
from blight and scab.-St. Louis Re-

THE FARMING WORLD.
ERozEN MILK BLOCKS.

Milk may be bought by the brick In
summer, just the same as some kinds of
ice cream. II will be frozen solid,
though, and If intended for use az soon
as received in the household the lacteal
fluid for the tea or coffee will have tn
be Clipped off with the handle of the
knife or fork, according to the guam
tity desired in the drink. Perhaps ot
the Waldorf, at Delmonico's and other
resorts of the wealthy the frozen milk
may be seen in cubes, like sugar, or In
pats, like butter, and a man may order
a lump of milk with his coffee and rolls,
as well as lump of sugar or another
pat of butter, please"
From a fad frozen milk has grown TO
be more or less of a necessity in the
warmer countries in Europe, and some
of the larger dairymen in and about
New York are seriously discussing the
practicability of introducing the Gus
tom as an experiment. 1t is claimed
that If the milk should be first frozen
II is just as impervious to the gathering
Of disease germs as is boiled milk or
water.
Many persons do not take kindly to
the idea of frozen milk. or even pre-
served milk. Fresh milk in cans, they
claim, can be kept fresh for 16 hours,
and If it does not remain sweet for thai
length of time they conclude that the
milk was not fresh when poured into
the cans, or that tho cans were no.
clean.
The trade in foreign importations Of
frozen milk and cream is yet in it's in.
fancy, but advices recently received by
American dairymen indicate that the
industry will be speedily developed tn
greater proportions, especially IN Hol-
land. The Belgian government designs
TO increase the trade at an annual out
lay of $4,000, and in Copenhagen, the
capital of Denmark, a company has
been formed and arrangements have
been completed for the regular export
of frozen milk. The necessary plant has
been erected and contracts have been
made already for the delivery OF 10000
pounds per week, which will be sent to
all parts of the world in bricks o. blocks
like ice.
If the lines laid down in European
countries were closely followed the
health inspector would arrange these
lists so that simultaneous occurrence
of infectious diseases in number %
families served by the same ice-milk-
man would be promptly discovered and
the mischief checled.-N. Y. Journal.

II has remained for a Frenchman to
make the first complete exploration of
the largest cavern in the British islands,
that at Mitchelstown, Ireland. The
explorer is NJ. Martel, who has recently
become famous for his discoveries in the
caverns of France. The Mitchelstown
cavern Is formed in limestone, and is re-
markable for the number and extent
Of its connected passages which, when
potted upon a chart, resemble the
streets of a city. The length of the cave
is about a mile and a quarter, and il

parEsned stables for Cows.

Every farmer and dairyman should
have a stable that can be darkened, in
which to put his cows morning and
evening during milking time. Being in
a darkelld room the flies do not trouble
them, and they stand quietly while be-
ing MIXED, and are glad to be freed
from the pests which torture them
when outside the stable. COW must
have the patience of job to stand quiet
ly and oe MIXED, while the flies are
sucking blood from almost every part
of her body; and because she Kicks and
Oops her tail around to drive of these
pests, the patience of the mixer be-
comes taxed, and the poor beast Is too
frequently beaten and kicked, because
she tries 10 rid herself OF the flies that
are biting her. Try dark stable for

The finest wire in the country is made
at Taunton, Mass. This metal cobweb of
minute diameter is exactly the one five
thousandth part of an inch in thickness
much finer than human hair. Or
binary wire, even though of small di-
hmeter. is drawn through holes in steel
plates, but on account of the wear such
plates cannot be used in making the
hair wire. The Taunton factory uses
drilled diamonds for the die plates.
