EYEGLASSES AND WHY.
Increase in the Number of Persons
 Who Wear SpeetacIes.

Increase in the Number of Persons
 Who Wear Speetacles.
 ae question is often asked, partic- ulaNy by those who can recall the cus- toms and experiences of twenty-five years ago: Why do so many persons nowadays wear gIasses2@ The answer is easy, says Liprincott's. The in crease in the number of spectacles worn is not to be regarded as all evi- dence of modern degeneration of the eyes, but rather that a long-felt neces- sity has been met. For it should be remembered that within the past quar- ter of a century much has been learned about the value of glasses, and the range of their application and useful less has been enormously extended Of course, the eyes need more help how than formerly, as the amount of work they are required to do is much greater than at ap,z previous period in the worlds history The sewing ma chine and many otker inventions of it's class save the labor of the hands only to add to that required of the eyes. New employments. new amusements, and new fashions are continually being introduced to increase the exactions laid upon those sensitive and delicate organs. The steady decrease of flIft- eraey, together with the general cheap ness of literature and a spread of a taste for it, the enormous circulation of @ @egel, magazine and newspaper, the eyet-inereasing use of artificial illumi- nation, all combine to overtax the eyes and to weaken or possibly destroy the sight unless the required aid and pro- lection be supplied through every means at our disposal. Thus it hap pens that the sometime luxury of prop erly adapted glasses has come to be rec ognized and understood by very many of the present generation as one of the real necessities of their lives.

He was brought up in pious Dutch family and was never bad boy but it is said that thirty years ago, when Kruger was a young married man, he got religion" in a most striking and characteristic way. One day he handed an open Bible to his wife and asked her to read several chapters which he had marked. While she was reading he left the house. For several days he was missing and finally party of friends went out to look for him. They came back without trace of the missing man. only reporting that they had heard some one singing far off on the mountains. A day or two later another searching party went oHt This time tdey found Kruger in a con dition of almost complete exhaustion, having gone entirely without food OF water during his absence. He had gone up into the hills to Wrestle with him self in prayer.

An Example of Queer Militarism.

Spain is giving the world just now a curiously complete example of queer militarism. She has 23,000 army of ficers, which was about four times too many, even when she still held Cuba and the Philippines. Now, when she has to cut her army down the figure is outrageous. But General Polavieja will not hear of reducing it, and will not even listen to the proposal to re- duce down the number of cadets, and so diminish the corps of officers in fu- ture. The plain fact is that the mili- tary gentlemen consider that they have right to "eat1 the budget, as the Spanish phrase has it, and to provide for their sons in the service. So an esta1lishment equal to Frances is kept r4-,

LIFE SAVED BY AMMONIA.
ProvidentiaI Escape of an English
 Soldier from Tigers Jaws.

from 1iIeFIS JaWS.
 From the Philadelphia Record: Pretty fierce brutes, eh?" remarked a soldierly-looking man who was one of little group watching the three big tigers at the zoo restlessly pacing their dens in anticipation of feeding-time. Yes, agreed the person addressed. T don't think I'd care about meeting one at large" No, it wouldn't be pleasant experience, but yet I've had it, and that I'm able to tell the story is due to nothing more nor less than bottle of ammonia. Fact It hap pened years ago in India. l was at tached to treep of Punjab light horse, on Te5l1a uty about Chawald, and my liz =. 4FIment was the re- suit of da5 5aFe of absence. With several companions I was on my way to visit some naaiye friends in a neigh boring village, and as the jungle paths were the shortest route, we made the trip in chairs slung on carriers shoul- ders. l was about half asleep from the swinging motion, when l was rudely pitched out by the natives dropping the poles and scampering off. That's how I met my tiger. With a bound he was on me and had taken a mouthfuI of my coat, intending, no doubt, to carry me into the dense undergrowth Fortunately for me, I had a big bottle of ammonia in my coat pocket-ear= ried it for snake bites, you know-and when the brute took the mouthful he broke the bottle. The whiff he got made his whiskers curl, and one was enough. He rolled over a couple of times gasping and waving his paws, and then made off as quickly as he had appeared. Hurt? No; only few bruises from the fall, but the close shave took my nerve for some months ;"

Alf Brown say, the other day, that after
the Opposition" papers are out, and
there is no chance for reply, the Repub-
leans ("of which he is whom') Twill give
out some facts" that will make the
Pops and Democrats mighty sick. Our
friend made inquiry, and finally found
out that one of the "facts" $50 called is
that an agreement has been entered into
between the Baker men and the fusion
committees whereby the Baker men are
to vote for the fusion man for United
States senator if the Burton men get a
majority of Republicans i'll the legsla-
ture. on joint ballot, and still lack votes
to make a majority of all members Pop
ulists, Democrats and Rcpublicans)
that in case it is found to be impossible
to elect a fusion senator, the fusionists
are to 90 to Baker; that Noah l.. Bow
man is to vote for Baker if this condi-
ton prevails in the legislature
There is positively no truth in this
story. N. l.. Bowman will stay with
the candidate selected by the fusion fore
es in the legislature. He will NOT vote
tor ANY Republican candidate Remem-
Der that.

Ed Titles Speech.

Col Ed c. Little spoke at the opera
house, Wednesday evening, and, not
withstanding the fact that rain had been
pouring down for two days, and the
mud was deep. the opera house was filled
Indeed, the audience was surprisingly
large, under the circumstances.
Colonel Little's speech was highly en-
pertaining. 1t consisted, mainly, in a
description of the Filipinos. His de-
scription gives the lie to the newspaper
and magazine stories of cannibalism and
heathenish customs of the inhabitants
of those islands. He said the Sulu arch
ipelago is inhabited by Mohammedans
and semi-savages, but that the Philip
pines are inhabited by seven million
Christian people, well educated, many
highly cultured, and altogether a very
intelligent, progressive people.
No true Christian who heard Colonel
Little tell about those oppressed people
can go to the polls and vote for Mckin
ley, which means continuance of thi:
oppression.
The glee club and the band made music
for the meeting.

St. John at Lone Elm.

Ex-Governor st. John delivered one OF
his forcible. convincing speeches at Lone
Elm last Saturday night. Hewas greet
ed by large audience. The hall would
not hold the crowd thar turned out to
hear the grand old man." No one left
the hall during the speech, but all listen
ed attentively, and they went home with
a good supply of food for thought. No
unprecedented person can listen to Govern
or St. John without being convinced that
he is not only IN "dead earnest" but
that he is right.
Governor St. John has made large
number of speeches during this campaign,
and he has not had single frost. All
want to hear him.
Our people at Lone Elm are highly
pleased with the result OF the meeting.
