The Care of the Eyes.

We don't have to preach the doctrine that it is necess- ary to safeguard your eyes. Most people do that. What we wish you to know is what great number have learned: That we have the most thoroughly modern optical department, under the direct ion of an optician who has made his profession a life work and whose practical ex- perience covers a period of 35 years. And it matters not whether your sight has long troubled you or is just be- ginning to give trouble-you will receive here the compe- tent attention such a matter ought to have. And this at- tentlon means not only the testing of the eyes for which no charge is made, but also the providing of the proper glasses scientifically fitted to correct or help the vision.
 The lenses used are the truest that opticians can ob- tain. The only difference is the big prices specialists charge and the little prices of the Big Store" And there is every form to fit them-in eye glasses or spectacles.

 BALL.
 On the Mansfield street lot yesterday afternoon the Leighton school nine cas- fly defeated the Catlin nine to the tune of 33 to 16 in nine inning game Both teams had received careful coaching and had trained cons 2ient)usly but the Leighton team easily carried off the honors. Everybody played well, but on the Leighton team the playing of Dem ing and Daggett, before and behind the bat. was simply marvellous. Adding to this the clean fielding of Dana and Camp and the careful base playing of Galpin and Lawton and Sdyney Sar gent, the spectators were easily abe to forecast the result. On the Catlin team the playing of Stannard, Pc ter, ,Thomp son and Freddy" was noticeable and steady. Richard Sargent umpired most satisfac ctorily.
