Why Suffer With
Your Eyes?

Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. John

Examination and Scientific Tests
of the Eye FREE at the
American House this
Week Only.
THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS
INCREASE.
Those Wishing their Eyes Tested at
home can leave orders at the
American House.

Mr.; and Mrs. j. P. Johnstons' four
teen years experience fitting glasses
in Chicago together with the informa-
tion gained at ophthalmic colleges, has
fitted themN for expert work in their
profession.
They come highly recommended, not
only as experts, in their line, but thor
oughly honorable and upright in their
dealings.
Parents should now avail themselves
of the opportunity to have their chill
drens' eyes examined and tested by
these experts, preparatory to beginning
the next term of school. Many grown
and aged persons are suffering
from defective eyesight, whose vision
would now be perfect had they been
fitted with glass in their youth.
The present wonderful increase in
the wearing of glasses by OLD and young
Especially the latter) is the result OF
progression in civilization. Only a
few years ago the suggestion of curing
dizziness, winking, trembling spells
nervousness and severe headaches with
the use of glasses would have beer
laughed down, while in every com
munity can now be found reliable per-
sons ready to give testimony to these
facts.
To overcome these troubles, the fiLst
and most important consideration is {
perfect and accurate fit; the second
consideration is the use of perfectly
made lenses, with highly polished sur
faces of accurate curvatures. the cen.
ters of which, must correspond with
the pupils of the eyes.
One redeeming feature in Mr.. anC
Mrs. Johnstons' fitting glasses, is tina
they do not charge high prices; tht
reason given, is that they now pur
chase their stock and supplies direc
from importers and Manufacturers, ant
at the same prices as during thei
fourteen years in the wholesale and re
tail optical business in Chicago

He Is His Eldest Brother. Who Is Rarely
Seen In Public.


The sultan's heir is not his eldest
son, but his eldest brother, according
TO the London Echo. The eldest male
succeeds. Such is the law Of Islam and
the fruitful source of dynastio murders
in almost every reign since the Turks
became a power. The sultan has four
brothers-not one only, as was lately
allc led. This eldest brother is Rechad
Efcndi-that is to say, he is eldest aft
or the ex-sultan, Murad V, who, being
insane, is not counted. The third broth
er is WarediD, and the fourth Saliman.
The sultan's eldest son, Prince Selim,
has no earthly chance Of succeeding mis-
father. He has too many unoles and
uncle's sons for that But Prince Selim
is lucky, if he knows it, for he is not
dangerous. He lives life Of freedom,
whereas the heir is, by the custom Of
the Ottomans, kind Of life prisoner.
Rechad Effendi is rarely seen. Every
time he drives Out he is escorted by
troop, less by way of AN escort than as
a guard. The few who do know him
like him, for be is said to be cour-
teous, humane, we'll informed man, ac-
quainted with current politics aud keen

farmer. The pretty palace ltaown Gs the
Tcheragan is his residence. OF course
Reohad's visitors arc Il arched before
they are admitted and when they are

stantinople and Crete Rechad is mere

is popular. Unliketh sultan, Rechad ia

one of their greatest dclicacies is what is
known as the salmon berry a fruit samon-red in
color and shaped like blackberries. This fruit
has a rnusky and at the same time an unpleas-
ant flavor for white people. but the Chilkats
call them their greatest relish They eat large
Quantities of them in oil the preparation OF
which. to say the least. is peculiar.
In making this oil the women gather up all the
salmon heads and bury them underneath the
ground where they leave them for several days,
until they become very odoriferous and ripe"
Then they dig the fish heads up, place them in
an old boat and throw rcd-hot stones among
them to try out the oil. After the stones cool
the Chiikat women get into the boat and squeeze
cut the oil from the fish heads by tramping and
stamping upon them with their bare feet. The
oil is then dipped up, and, being poured over the
salmon berries, lnakes--to the Chilkats-an APP
retizing dish which they partake of with great
ard evident relish. 1t is not likely that any Of
the tcnderfcet journeying up into the gold dig
girss of the Clondyke will stop at any Chilkat
public houses on the way for a dish of salmon
berries dressed in oil.
The Chilkats rapidly laying aside their old
customs and habits, and many of them are be-
coming ChristiarZed Were it not for the inhu-
ence held among them by race OF high-caste
fakirs. dervishes. or, more properly speaking,
witch doctors. one generation would see them
thoroughly civilized Most of the murders com
mitted nowadays are directly traced to the in
nuence of the witch doctors, and particularly to
one man known as Scundeau. This old scamp
has just served n term in San Quentin Prison,
in California, but much did Mr.. Warne fear
his influence over the people that upon coming
away he committed several old women whom
Scundeau had accused Of practising witchcraft

Warne however has succeeded in breaking up
this practice to a great degree. and few cases

The Chkats reckon their wealth in blankets
and a wealthy man will often accumulate as
many as a thousand blankets To add to their
stock Of blankets through life they would under
so any hardship, in many cases actually star'-
ing themselves to add to their accumulations.
The ordinary food eaten by the Chilkats IS
fresh or dried salmon. but when hungry they
will often consume large quantities or lard ana
other fat. storekeeper in Juneau tells OK one
ble-boded Chilkat who came into his store ana
purchased four-quart tin Of hog lard and cot

With the advent of the Christian missions

many of their ancient customs. In the old times
they were wont to indulge in the most cruel rob

were taken by the robbed as matter OF course,

"Rut we have gold-mining customers whose
