tempts mt Economy.
Looking back now to the time when
the itinerant Quack doctor and the
wandering dentist spread misery and
destruction over the land. we wonder
at the ignorance or carelessness OF our
fathers in trusting their teeth or even
their lives to hands SO untrustworthy.
A very similar thing is done today by
people who buy spectacles or eyegiass-
es from men who sell them on the
streets or have their eyes fitted by op-
ticians who have no qualifications for
doing the work.
A surprising number of people buy
their glasses from venders on the
streets. They get glasses for so cents
which seem to them just as good as
pair they would pay $5 for having
made on an oculist's prescription. and
they think they have saved money.
Glasses acquired In all sorts Of ways
by inheritance or exchange from q
friend or even glasses found on the
streets are used to the detriment. even
to the destruction, of the wearer's
sight.
"People seem to think glasses are
like clothes" said an old oculist the
other day. land if they are fairly com
Portable and look well they ask nc
further questions"
Another way in which people dam
age their eyes Is through carelessness
IN trying to remove dust or cinders
from them. They try themselves. q

store and the nearest optician nre call

TO1stoi's Method.

Count Tolstoi is like one Of the great
painters of old After forming the plan
of his work and gathering a great num-
Der of studies he begins with charcoal
sketch. so to speak, and writes rapidly,
not thinking of details What he writes
in this way he gives to Countess Sophia
Andreevna to copy out. or to one of his
daughters, or to one Of his intimate
friends to whom this task may give
pleasure. Leo Nicolaievitch, Count
Tolstoi, generally writes on quarto pa
per, Of rather poor quality, in a big,
ropelike handwriting, writing about 20
pages day, amounting to some 4, 600
or 5, 900 words. He has no special hab-
its with regard to pens and paper. And
when a firm in Moscow conceived the
idea Of giving to the world a "Tolstoian
BEN, it was discovered that on the sub
ject of pens Count Tolstoi had no
opinion. He works mostly in the
morning, and considers this the best
time of the day for work--Arena.

Palace and Howell.

Probably in Constantinople, which
has been described as the lefty of hoy
els" there is greater contrast between
the public and private buildings than
in any other city in the world. The
streets are narrow, tortuous and dirty.
and even the better class Of private
houses are mean in comparison with
those Of similar class in other coun-
Eies. On the other hand, the mosques
and palaces are magnificent in size. de-
sign and materials of construction,
most Of them being of marble, white or
gray. The seraglio is one of the most
splendid buildings in Europe
Berlin is close second in this re-
spect, boasting the finest street in Eu-
rope Inter den Linden and its public
buildings will compare favorably with
those Of any other capital, but its slums
and tenement houses are squalid and
filthy in the extreme. Another city
which Is close in the running is Lisbon.
When it was rebuilt after the earth
quake, the public buildings were built
on scale by no means justified by the
finances of the country, while the pri-
vate buildings had to be erected In &C
cordance with their owners means.
The contrast between them is therefore
naturally very striking.

Trial.

PARIS, May 29.-Early in the after
noon it was rumored that the president
of the civil section of the court of cassa-

to the president of the court of casa
ton, NJ. Mazan, in favor for a revision
of the Dreyfus trial and sending the
prisoner again before a court martial.
This, later in the day, was confirmed
by direct statement that the president
of the civil section had so reported to
the president of the court of cessation.
It is believed the report is practically
certain to be accepted by the court of
cessation and means that Dreyfus will
be brought back to France and retired.
