HOW TO ADJUST EYEGLASSES.
Instructions by an OptIcinn which
His Customers VIII Not AL
ways Heed.

"Oh, yes" said the optician as he fit
ted a pair of glasses On the nose Of
customer. "There is an art in putting
on nose glasses and at least half OF the
people who wear glasses don't know
how to put them on. The result is that
the moment they begin to perspire a
little or when they shake their heads
or make any unusual movement, off go
the glasses smash on the floor or more
often the sidewalk. OF course we OPP
ticians don't kick, for that very thing
gives us good part of our business.
There is a good profit in putting in new
lenses. Really the only sensible glasses
to wear are spectacles. They fasten
over the ears and they never fall off
and they don't get out of adjustment.
They fit on the same place every time
and the eye looks through the center
of the lens as ii should look. But most
people think that spectacles make them
look older or something like that and
they insist on nose glasses. Then they
don't know how to put them on and if
they don't get them just right the eyes
don't look through the center of the
lenses, and if there is any disorder of
the vision other than nearsightedness
the improperly adjusted glasses often
do more harm than good, to say moth
ing of the expense from breakage.
Now, madam, if you feel you must
wear glasses instead of spectacles take
them like this"
He took the glasses and held them
perfectly level before him, says the
New York Sun. "Stretch them wide
apart and approach the nose like this"
He advanced them toward the tip of the
nose; now raise them up So" Still
holding the glasses so that the springs
stretched wide over the nose he adj
vanced them upward until the upper
points of the clips were directly under
the eyebrows. Now let co. said he.
The glasses were on firm. "Shake your
head" said he. The customer shook
her head. The glasses wiggled, but did
not fall off.
"You see," said the optieian, ''you
can't shake them off. They sit perfect
ly and just fit the eye. You don't want
anything better than that, do you?
Now try putting them on yourself"
The customer put them off and at
tempted to put them back. She got
them on askew.
mo! no! mol" said the optician,
"that's all wrong" and he showed her
over again how it should be done. 1t
took six times trying before the GUS
toner mastered the knack and went
away happy.
She'll be back in month";" said the
optician, wanting one or two new
lenses to replace her broken ones. Now
I've shown her exactly how to put them
on, but she'll get careless after awhile
and will forget all about it. can al
ways tell about that by the way they
catch on to the knack of adjusting
them when they first put them on.
People who have to wear glasses at all
should wear spectacles. But if they
will wear nose clips they must learn
how to adjust them or they'll ruin
their eyes and break their pockets at
the same time. Women are no worse
than men in that. I've gotone custom

lenses. That's about one dollar a week,

she would do in the matter
Immediately after entering the enclos-
ure she was passed by Senator Goebel,
who tipped his hat to her He turned to
the right of the fountain while she turned
toward the left. Just as Mr.. Goebel was
about opposite the fountain she says she
saw a man who was walking a short dis
lance behind him pull pistol and shoot
him in the left side. He handled the re-
volver with his left hand and the report
was followed by small amount of thin,
white smoke. She saw the man run to the
State house, enter the building and then
come out and go to the wounded man.
She says Eph Lillard whom she knows,
entered the State House a few moments
before the man who did the shooting
reached the steps. She did not know the
man who fired the shot but has given a
good description of him to Gov Taylor,
who has also a full written statement
from her. as well as one from a CONNER

the occurrence.
The commercial traveller does not live
in Frankfort, but goes there once a week,
