by People with Weak Eyes.
The changes which come 10 the eye

of the individual to remedy. 1t is true
that the time for the wearing of glasses
may be fastened by abuse of the eyes
but with all possible care that one mas

NAL VIII need shortly before. or it may
be shortly after, the age of 45 the aid
Of glasses. So universal is this that an
oeulist. Ia his examina tons of the re-
fraction of the eye of his patient, can
determine accurately the number of his
years. The responsibility of much eye
trouble, however, can be brought d.
rectly home to the individual. 1t is due
70 the reckless expenditure of the eye
sight The service OF the eyes is de-
nlanded in any and every light.
The eyes are most tried by reading
fine pint or doing the fine stitches Of
sewing or embroidery. If the print is
on glossy paper whose smooth surface
reflects mirrorlike the light the effect
is bad upon the eyes If the embroid-
cry is TO be done on satin or upon can
vas, with its bewildering maze of mesh
es, the strain is soor, shown in the red
ness and the WEAKNESS of the eyes.
Women's eyes suffer greatly from the
tax of wells. 1t only shows the great
adaptability which the eyes share with
every other part of the body that the
wells, with their intricate meshes and
numerous dots of embroidery and chen
lille. do not occasion more trouble with
the eyes than they do. The first thing
to do in selecting a veil, if one has
mercy upon the eyes, is to test its effect
upon the sight, to see that the weave is
not confusing and that the dots do not
come athwart the eyes.-Harper's

PRODUCTION OF CAVIAR.
Two Distinct Varieties Are Manu-

Scientific American
Two distinct varieties of caviar are
manufactured in Russia, the granulated
and the pressed forms. The granulated
form is obtained by passing under pres
sure through a fine meshed sieve The
small eggs pass intact, but the envelopes
are retained in the sieve. To these pure
salt Is added In the proportion of one
twentieth or one-fortieth. It is intimately
mixed with the eggs by means of a kind
of wooden spoon. The caviar is then
ready for consumption. 1t Is packed in
round metallic boxes Of one and half
to five pounds, and enveleped In parch-
ment for transportation. The pressed
caviar keeps better than the granulated
form.
To obtain it the fresh caviar is treated
with a solution of salt at rs degrees
Baume until the eggs have acquired a
certain degree of hardness. This opera
ton requires considerable skill and expe-
rienee. If allowed to stay In
the solution too long the caviar
will be too salty, and If not long enough
the eggs cannot be preserved. The caviar
is then put into small Sacks which are
pressed under screwpress to drive out
the excess of salt. 1t is packed In bar
rels containing up to LOCO pounds, or left
in the original sacks, which measure
by 20 inches. The average export of
pressed caviar for the three years, 1895
to 1888, has been more than 5000 tons. rem
resenting value of 1,400,0 600.

repeatedly violated it. There was con-

they had never despaired of the out

they lost 300oa killed during the siege.
The foreigners did not waste their am
mpnition, shooting only when a target
was in evidence. The Chinese method on
the other hand was aScontim.ous heavy
and indiscriminate fire. The enemy would
advance the barbados at night, creep
ing up with their arms filled with bricks,
and the foreigners would find new bar
ricade a few yards closer. Finally the
barricade became SO close that talking
could be heard distinctly.
During the last few nights the Chinese
urged their men to charge the foreigners
and exterminate them before the inter
soldiery replied that they could not stand
the bayonets. On the night before the re-
lief they fired several thousand rounds,
the foreigners replying with two shots
only. The Chinese artillery and soldiers
in Pekin were apparently much inferior
to those encountered in the fighting at
Tien Tsin. The relief of PeIxin was a
notable achievement chiefly for the forced

from Princeton, n. j.
Former President Grover Cleveland

FOR this, saying:
"fOu will see landslide for Bryan
the morning after the election. OF
this | am confident There nre clc-
mcnts NIL over the country ut work
which it would be impossible to draw
into line Cor Mckinley. In the first
place, union labor is for Bryan. OF
recent years this organization of Ia
Dor has been ii factor in politics and
it is certainly not favorable TO the
interests Of capital. The travelling
men are for Bryan. These men, who
are small army, are Of tie opinion
that the Republican party is the
protector of corporations, and by the
amalgamation of industrial interests
many Of them have been thrown out of
employment. In the Northwest, in
Minnesota, in Dakota and Iowa there
are many Hollanders. Sympathy for
the Beers, who are their own flesh and
BLOOD, will induce them to support
Bryan. See if am not correct.
II havc no desire to be drawn into
any controversy over tho results of
tho election, but if the Republican
managers honestly think that Presi-
dent Mckinley will be reelected, it
is my opiEion they are all mistaken.
They do not know the situation"

Ever since the presidential campaign
opened, politicians, editors and other
persons who clain, to possess prophetic
power have spent much time preparing
estimates Of the electoral votes which
President Mckinley and Nr. Bryan
will receive. These tables have sup
piled much of the humor Of the cam
paign. though their authors seem to be
in dead earnest. Some of them have
elected both Mckinley and Bryan by
unprecedented majoritics, while others
have admitted that the result will be
close, but with their man sure win
ner. a large number OF States are
claimed with apparently equal conf
dcncc by both Democratic and Rcpub-
iIcan prOgnosticat0rs, and we doubt
not that the most absurd estimates are
swallowed readily by many enthusiasts
tic Dartisans. The clarmcn of the
two great committees are about as far
apart in their estimates rs most OF the
