Wash your eyeglasses.

"Spectacles and eyeglasses are as
much benefited by bath now and then
as people are" says well known opti-
clan. 1T is strange how many people
there are who think that their glasses
only need an occasional wiping. Now,
the fact is, glasses require actual baths
as frequently as does the ordinary per-
son. The process is as simple as you
want to make it. My plan, however, is
to take the glasses to wash bowl and
give them good soaking in warm
water. Then apply soap freely, and rub
it off by the use OF soft tooth or nail
brush. After that give them a polish
with any Of the usual tooth powders,
and then clean them with tissue paper,
which is much better Tor the purpose
than channels skino anything else that
/ know Of. The ordinary cleansing is all
right as far as it goes, but it is not
sufficient. Many persons have done
great injury to their eyes by neglecting
to properly clean their glasses. | have
had number OF patients come to me with
complaints about what they called
gradual diminution Ct their sight. An
examination revealed the fact that it
was wonderful that they could see at all,
Tor their glasses were blurred over and
had been fearfully neglected. A little
soap and water, to which few drops
OF ammonia were added, did the bust
ness."- [Woman's Life.

A National Boulevard.

Some time in the future whichis to gid
the world, the American people may be
able and willing to realize a glittering
dream of the novelist, Julian Hawthorne.
1t is picture of great national boule-
ward crossing the continent from the At
lantc to the Pacific.
The author says, and truly, that if
perfectly constructed and graded boule-
ward, 200 or $50 feet wide, swept from
ocean to ocean, with separate paths for
equestrians and bicycles, automobiles,
and travellers on foot, it would be one Of
the wonders of the world and foremost
object OF interest to tourists from Europe.
as we'll as from all parts OF this country.
The only difficulty lies in the building and
maintenance OF so enormously expensive
a highway.
Mr.. Hawthorne would have plenty of
stations kept by the government ior the
refreshment and convenience of tourists.
There would be repair shops for BICYCLES
and supplies for horseess carriages, and
all other vehicles. Trees, oicourse, would
be set out in not less than four rows.
There would be benches for rest and shell
ter from storms at proper intervals.
The great national boulevard would
not go across the continent in the most
direct line, necessarily. Itwould seek the
route of interest and beauty, and it might
be expected to subordinate direct utility,
as means of getting from one place to
another, to affording the utmost possible
advantages to students OF whatever was
fine and worthy of note in the United
States. 1t would be place for recrea.
ton and enjoyment rather than for bust
ness riding OF any kind.
The author of all this charming fancy
disclaims credit for the central idea.
That, he says, is older than his interest
in it. He is confident, however, that it
one such boulevard were opened from
ocean to ocean its attractions and adj
vantages would force the construction OF
other and similar roads from north to
south and in sections remote from the
first great highway. That is so true that
it may be taken for granted that local
ealousies will do much to prevent the
location OF any transcontinental boule-
ward, even if we get rich enought to under
take the building of so vast monument
to national power and enterprise.
But it does not harm people to keep
such ideals in mind, more or less. They
tend to lift its aims andimpulses upward
and increase the rate of real and lasting
progress From the Cleveland Leader.

St. Peter Couldn't Keep Him Out.

"The brightest reporter / ever knew"
said newspaper man, was Billy Gay
lor, who died at Hot Springs in 1895.
He was most persistent fellow after an
item, and that reminds me of little
story about the last incident OF his
career. He had been assigned by GER
tain Chicago daily to interview an emf
nent bishop about a schism in the church.
The bishop didn't want to talk and
wouldn't see him, but Gaylor bribed
servant to let him into the hall, and he
waylaid the dignitary as he was coming
through. He was ordered out for his
pains, but next day he penetrated the
house again on some pretext or other,
and was again fired.
He repeated the exploit three or four
times, with similar results, and at last
the bishop, coming home late at night,
found Billy sitting in his study reading
the Bible Nobody could explain how he
got in, but the prelate wilted and told
him what he wanted to know, on condi-
ton that he would 60 away and stay
away.
Shortly afterward poor Gaylor got
galloping consumption and died, and,
happening to meet the bishop at church
conference, | told him that the young
man who had once so moested him
would never do it again.
"'Let us hope that he is in heaven,
said clergyman standing by.
THE bishops eyes twinkled. Heloved
joke.
"'No doubt he u.s., he replied, gently.
I don't think they could keep him out. ;"

Our "Golden Era" of Prosperity.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Vanderlip has presented in compact
and summarized form figures which show
the remarkable prosperity which this
country is now enjoying. Here are
few facts:
The production of pig iron will reach
13 100000 gross tons and the produc-
ton of steele 100000 gre IS tons this
year; decade ago we imported ST.
900, 900 and exported $14,000,000 Of
iron and steel manufactures at the
close OF the last fiscal year we imported
$12,OO0,O00 and exported $4,000, 1000
worth OF these products, thus reversing
the balance Of trade with a vengeance.
The price of pig iron rose between Feb
urary and September from $11 to $24
per ton.
Five years ago we imported almost
double the value in manufactures that
we exported. During the last fiscal year
we exported $50 100000 more manufac-
tured products than we imported. Fig
ures from IA railroad companies show
an increase in gross earnings up TO Sept.
1 of this year of $53,000,00O. Bank
clearings have increased Al per cent and
the deposits % per cent. Within two
years up to Oct. 1, 1899, the total
money circulation in the peoples hands
advanced by fully $270 100000 and
there is $1,000, 100000 of gold
(estimated) in the country today. The
agricultural department estimates that
the value of farm animals alone is $342,
900 900, more than it was two years ago.
Mr.. Vanderlip is in position to know
just what progress the country has
made during his own tenure Of office and
he rightly calls this the golden era of the
nations life Bratteboro Phoenix.
