A Word
To Teachers.

The eye i a great factor in ed
ucation, not only in school, but
outside as we'll. Many teachers at
schools haye already found that
where their efforts to draw the at
tention Of pupils to their lessons
were partly fruitless defect in
sight was the main, if not the
whole, cause and after the defect
was corrected bv properly fitted
,pectaches the pupils were more
attentive and better able to keep
pace with the rest Of the class.
We have arranged test cards by
which any one can make very
intelligent and fair test Of the eyes
We will send to any
one IA set of these cards free upon
application.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
Of the urinary passage. II corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
1t, or bad effects following use OF liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

. CoNsTANTINoPLE, Thursday, April 20.
The American note handed to the
Turkish minister Of foreign affairs,
Tewfk Pasha, on Tuesday, is conehed
in peremptory terms, demanding imme-
diate payment for the indemnity sew
eral times promised to Minister Strauss
by the sultan. The note does not fix a
time limit for an answer, but its tenor
is not far from the character Of an u1ti-
matum. It has produced great mn
preston upon the porte, which, how
ever, shows no disposition to modify the
attitude. hitherto maintained, namely,
repudiating the responsibility and seek
ing to diminish the importance of the
matter. 1t is presumed that the porte's
reply will be in this sense; and hence,
it is feared the United States govern
ment will be obliged to take steps to en-
force its demand. Turkey S decision to
send an officer to America to study
naval construction is interpreted
to be another sop. It is the
revival Of an old project to buy
a cruiser in the United States,
in the price Of which the indemnity
shall be included, SO that the porte Will
be able to say it has not paid the in
demnity. The American government
has already categorically refused such a
compromise, which would mean pro-
longed negotiations and the dragging
out of the matter Indefinitely, to which
the United States viii not listen. AS
regards the indemnity, it is in the ma
ture Of debt of honor. If the porte
wants to buy cruiser that is matter
in no way connected with the in
demnity. .s.-.5 3 .s.t<s-...
The porte's reply to the last collective
note on the subject of duties has not
been made, and the embassies are ex-
changing views in regard to the terms
on which to consent to an increase of
duty. 1t is thought that before the be-
ginning Of negotiations the embassies
will invite the porte to abolish ransoms
and measures introduced in violation of
treaties .<- .4...
