YOUR EYES.
The Proper Correction of Which is
Not Mercantile, But a Profess
sional Proposition.

sional Proposition.
Most invariably people who have
for years, been having trouble to pro-
cure glasses suitable to their eyes have
been laboring under the impression
that the principle value of a pair of
eyeglasses or spectacles were III the
quality of the material used in their
construction. They do not stop to
consider that the only true value that
can be placed on a pair of glasses is
in the perfect and accurate correction
of each and every defect existing in
each eye, not only in the restoration
of vision, but in overcoming all
troubles caused by structural defects,
such as pains in the back of the head
extending down the neck into the
shoulders or spine, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sick stomach, smarting, burn
ing sensation, with shooting pains in
the eyeballs and drowsy sensation
while reading or doing close work.
But few people at first thought
preciate the fact that to obtain these
results requires he service of a
thoroughly competent, skilled and ex-
perienced

your investigation is that Of DR.. p.

rections are assured. The methods
employed by him are indeed remark.
able, and in great many cases
he has made corrections that seemed
almost impossible where many others
had failed. His book contains the
names of over hundred of our best
people whom he has successfully fitted
with glasses in the past sixty Gays.

Though there is general regret that
the cup defender will not have an
American crew. this year. it is crafty
ing to know that the reason is not the
ill-treatment Of the Deer Isle boys by
the yacht club people. as was recently
reported in the metropolitan papers.
The report has no basis of fact and
the denials that have been sent out
from Deer Isle are emphatic and con-
elusive. The hardy Maine mariners
were fully satisfied with their treat
ment and thoroughly appreciated by
their employers and the only reason
that Deer Isle will not again furnish
the crew. this year. is because the de-
mand far exceeds the supply and the

Major Rathbone has various ways of
"snorting defiance" at General Leonard
Wood. The reason for this is obvious.
General Wood was instrumental in
bringing Rathbone up with a round
turn in his infamous stealings from the
postoffice department in Cuba. The
less Rathbone and his friends pursue
Wood the wiser they will be. The
Americans frequently love a man for
the enemies he has made.

During the past three years Mr.. and
Mrs. Alvah Hildreth of Bowdoinham,
have had a strange pet in their family
"a robin. found by Mr.. Hildreth one
morning when he was moving. 1t was
taken to the house and kept in a
hooking birds cage, and the Hildreth
family adopted it. Every day the
mother bird came and fed her baby, till
Then the mother refused to come lon
ger, and the bird was fed by the family
until he was old enough to fly When
given his liberty the other birds
pecked at him and abused him so much
that he was glad to enter his cage
ever since. He eats many things un-
known in the usual robin diet, refusing
angleworms with scorn, though flies
are among his chief delcacies. One
time Mr.. Hildreth found an old tree
stump filled with large black ants, so
devoured the insects. His rich meal
affected him strangely; he staggered
about and cooked his head on one side
in a most suspicious manner, until it
daWned on his much-ShOcked friends
that he was overcome by too powerful
ant food. Since this sad experience
Robins meals have been confined to
innocent flies, that cheer but do not
inebrate.
