i've eyes should be required to read the test type at twenty feet, in a good light. A note should be made of tho lowest line possible for the child to make out with each eye. Should the vision fall below the normal, which is indicated by a certain line, the child should be sent to a specialist at once, and the cause ascertained. Should the vision be found normal, then the child should be required to read the sane line with the convex SCectacles, Ii possible. If the normal line is read with the spectac1es the same as with out, then we know we have to deal with far-sighted or hyperopic eye. A normal eye will be made near sighted with the convex glass. There are other simple tests but these are suffi- cient and do net require more time than the busy teacher has at her dis posal This will not, of course, de tect the defective eyes. but it is a drag net that but few of the most import amt, and those most liable to neglect, will escape
 EXPERT INVESTIGATION.
 Certain muscular defects require ax- pert investigation, but are tCo few in the writer's opinion to need special provision made TOT them, put the ny peropic especially, and all cases of defective vision should receive atten tion; and such investigation as the intelligent teacher can give, whether the pupil needs the attention Of an expert or not.
 There are a certain number of cases which will escape detection at tha hands of the teachers and it is on this account that a general examination by an ocuiist would be the best, were it practicable.
 The time will doubtless come, with the increasing demands of civiliza- tion upon the eyes of old and young. when the importance Of this matter will be more generally recognized, in fact it will become necessary as sue ceeding generations acquire more and more imperfect eyes, to adopt every means to preserve the powers and health of this our most important or gan. Until that time when the adVis- ability of taking the best possible care Of school children's eyes is fully known, we ought to do the best within cur means and make every possible effort to help those whose young lives are afflicted with faulty vision.

IT'D LIKE TO BE A DEMOCRAT"

I'd like to be a democrat, And with Bill Bryan stand Upon a railroad palace car, And travel through the land, Providing gulf for hayseeds And other foolish men, And eating high-toned dinners, From a dollar up to ten. I'd like to get chance to talk (While filling up on wines); I'd tell 'em how to manage The blooming Philippines. Cid Glory I'd hide out of sight, And set the beggars free, To cut each others worthless throats, While Dewey ran to sea. I'd like to be a democrat, And make old Uncle Sam Furnish everything I wanted, From dollars down to jam Give me granaries and warehouses, And greenbacks by the ton, And the dollar of our daddies'' At twice sixteen for one.

c. H. Shepardson Sold Out.

G. H. Shepard,on, who for the past si1
years has been in business in Bellows Falls
sold his grocery store on Henry street Sat
urday to Fred S. Clark and Leon E. Mar
BILE, who take possession of the property
the first Of August.
Both of these young men are well known
in town, Mr.. Clark having run one of G
E. Whitman's order teams for severa
years, and Mr.. Marble having been fol
some time in the employ of Mr.. Shepard
son.
Mr.. Shepardson came to Bellows Fall,
in January, 1898, and was in business ii
the Square one year for himself and one
year for the Abbott grocery company. In
January, 1895, he started the store ,or
Henry street, which was an experiment in
a way, as it was the first grocery store to
be established in residential part of the
village. The venture proved most sue
cessful one, the custom steadily increasing
until now four people and two delivery
teams are kept busy attending to the
trade.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shepardson have not yet
decided upon any plans for the future, but
it is sincerely hoped that they will find it
to their advantage to remain in town.
