A Russian priest was SO devoted to
the amusement of card playing that
he played up TO the last moment be
fore commencing the church serv
ices.
On one occasion, having partlcu
larry good hand dealt him, he thrust
the cards into his pocket, intending
to return and finish the game after
the service. Unluckily the cards
fell out on the church floor to the
extreme scandal of the congregation.
The witty priest, however, was
fully equal to the occasion. At the
conclusion of the service he beckon-
ed UP one of the chorjsters and asked
him the names of several of the
cards, which the boy knew correct
ly. He then suddenly asked the lad
the name of the next saints day,
which the child could not tell.
"Seel' cried the priest, turning to
the congregation You teach your
children the names of every card III
tho pack and leave them ignorant OF
their religion. Let this be the last
time / am compelled TO bring play
ing cards into the church to shame
you,' and picking up his hand he
made an honora BILE retreat.

Advance in Optical Science.

DIR. Grosvenor has Just added to his
office fixtures one of the new instru-
ments which the famous opticians of
the French academy, lately invented
and which has been much improved
for practical and accurate use. 1t is
an interesting thing to examine, for II
marks a most important advancement
in scientific progress. Improved
methods of diagnosis and treatment
call for new instruments. This one
represents the latest and best results of
much patient investigation and expen-
sive experimenting and is wonderful in
its perfection. 1t is used for determin-
ing with positive accuracy all defects
of the eye and is called an Ophthal-
mometer.
Recently scientifically fitted glasses
used as means to relieve eye-strair
have in many cases superseded drugs
as a method of mitigating and per
manently curing headaches and neu
ralgias. Many nervous troubles which
apparently can't be cured disappear
like magic when properly fitted glasses
are worn. One of the good results o'
this new instrument is to do away viii
the use of that binding drug atropin.
which heretofore it has been necessar,
to use. One of the sensible aecesso
ries are the different forms and size.
of frames and lenses for trial. So tha

families are not isolated, but form
communities. No one il really lead

ways is a man who is looked up TO.
Although nearly all are we'll to do,
no attempt at display is ever made.
The homes are in one story houses,
built about house where the sect

no meeting house they meet in the
homes of the families, each in turn
They have no ministers. Each mem
ber of the sect says and does what
he considers best for the community.
When they meet at one of the homes,
the host always has ready good
meal.
This sect wear peculiar clothing
The women make all the men,
clothes When the baby boy s dress
es are taken from him, he is clothed
in the garb he is to wear for life.
They wear trousers reaching to the
ankles and boots to the knees. A
waistcoat and hat complete the
outfit, except in cold weather, when
an overcoat is added. Only heavy
brown or black material is used IL
making the clothes of the men.
The young women dress in either
black or bright blue and use no trim
mlngs. Their aprons are always
brown. Cashmere is the cloth used
for dresses. The bonnet is after the
sunbonnet style and has a skirt IL
the rear. Brown and black satin j.
used to make them. To keep out The
cold of winter the women wear
black cashmere shawls.
