Proper Use Of spectaeIes.

Spectacles, according to an oculist,
often increase the eye trouble they
are meant to correct because they are
improperly used. "The man who
needs glasses to read by, but not to
see at distance, often puts them on
in street car or similar place." says
this oculist, land then when he looks
up still uses them for looking at
things little way off. This gradually
changes the focus of the eye, so that
he comes finally to see better with
them than without them. Then he
needs stronger glasses to read with,
and the trouble gets worse and worse.
One way to avoid this is to wear the
reading glasses so low on the nose
that they may be looked over instead
of through when the glance is raised

August Belmont III, the third scion

is a trifle below medium height. Like

a simple liver. He dislikes notoriety

DELIGHTS of Fall DAYS.

Given health and the physical ca
pacity for appreciation of this season,
and man feels the joy of living in it's
fullest extent. Mere existence is ex-
uberant. It's delights are the right
and the possession of the poorest as
well as the richest There Is no plu-
tocracy in nature. Wealth cannot buy
the joys which the humblest may
gather for themselves. And the in
spiration for the future which comes
with this season is universal. 1t Is
the time of new endeavor for new en-
terprises. The vigor which springs
in the sound mind in the sound body
under the impulse of this period
makes for great accomplishment. The
harvest of the fields has been gath
cred, but for humanity it Is the seed
time of action.-Boston Post.

NEED WORKERS IN THE SOUTH
Half Million Men and Women Can
Find Profitable Employment.

There is room for at least 500, 1000
men and women to do the immediate
work Of the South, to say nothing OF
that which is to be done hereafter.
In the season of 1904-05 Southern
cotton mills consumed 2,172,992 bales
of cotton, though their spindle capaci.
ty was sufficient to consume AGO. 900
or 100000 more bales. Failure to
make the most of the investment in
machinery was based upon inability
to obtain p full quota of operatives.
Some iron furnaces are falling behind
their capacity to the extent of $500
or 5000 tons month, not because
there is no urgent market, but be-
cause they cannot find enough COM
mon daily laborers even to move
promptly thousands of tons in their
yards already promised for delivery.
Railroad contractors are rivaling one
another in their search for men to
WELD the pick and shovel. Cotton
fields are white to the harvest, but
the laborers are few.-Baltimore Man

BELIEF IN AN ERA OF PEACE
Nations of the World Likely to Rest
for Some Time.


We are optimist enough to believe,
as even the pessimist hopes, that an
era of peace is at hand. Some, in
deed, contend that its advent would
be assured by some international
agreement to reduce ornaments.
There seems, however, far stronger
ground for holding that mischief
would arise out of an international
discussion on the subject than for ex-
pecting that 1t would hasten the mil
lennium. The strong man armed is
the trustiest custodian of peace. 1t
Is not the best policed district that
Is the most exposed to the enterprises
of the burglar. The growing cost
Illness Of war in blood and treasure is
the strongest guarantee against reck-
less recourse to 1t by any power that
Is not absolutely desperate. Under
modern conditions the victor must be
prepared to contemplate years of
straitened means and painful sacri-
fees: bankruptcy and ruin are the
probable penalties of the vanqutshed.
The progress of science is doing as
much as the advancement OF morality
to convince mankind Of the hopeless
wickedness Of any war which is not
undertaken in defense of national
honor of national existence.-London

TWlllaht Hour.

The sunlight on a waveless sea-
The softened radiance fadeth slowly;
The folded flower, the mist crowned tree
Proclaim the gathering twilight.
It is the hour when passion bows;
A solemn stiffness round us fingers;
And on our wildly throbbing brows
We feel the touch OF angel fingers.
1t is the hour when lovers fond
(For love its native air is breathing)
Drape with fair hopes life's drear beyond
Cay garands for the future wreathinG
1t Is the hour when in far land
The wanderer, tired of ceaseless roam.
Longs for the clasp Of kindred hand,
And in the dear home enwrapt IL

Amid earth's mingled means and laugh
ter,
Chords which will swell when unborn
years
Are buried in the great hereafter

WOMAN OWNER OF MANY TREES

In Her Collection.
Mrs. Arthur Henry, wife of the nov

ing is Mrs. Henry's fad Whenever
she sees an especially fine tree she
goes to the people on whose land 1t
stands and offers to buy 1t. Usually,
when the owners find that she wishes
neither to cut down nor to transfer
the tree, but only to feel that 1t Ia
hers they make her a present of It.
Most of her trees are named and all
Of them have their pictures taken and

a eucalyptus out in Riverside, Cal.
It's named Bernard Shaw. It's an
original tree. 1t sheds It's bark when
other trees content themselves with
shedding merely their leaves and 1t
holds its leaves edgewise to the sun,
so that the tree doesn't give a bit of
comfortable shade to anybody. It's

THE GREATEST DAM ON EARTH
Interesting Facts About the One at
Salt River, Arizona.

Salt River, Arizona.
Fifteen years ago the highest dam
in existence was the Furens dam Tin
France), the total height of which
was 10 feet. Since then three very
much larger dams have been built in
the United States, says the Technical
World Magazine. These are the Gro
ton dam in New York, the Clinton
waterworks dam at Denver, on the
south fork of South Platte river.
Each of these at present holds the
record in one respect or another. The
Denver dam is the highest In the
world; the Clinton impounds the
largest amount of water and the
Croton dam contains the largest mass
of masonry. But the Salt river dam,
when finished, will exceed each OF
these In its own speciality; 1t will be
higher than Denver; will exceed the
Croton dam in masonry; and will i'm
pound twice as much water as all
three dams put together. It will be
270 feet high from foundation to para
pet, will contain 100000 cubic yards
Of masonry and will impound more
than 100000 acre-feet of water; that
Is, more than enough to cover a mil
lion acres 1,500 square miles) to a
depth Of one foot. 1t will form a
lake twenty-five miles long and one
to two miles wide, covering an area
Of $4,000 acres. It's cost, with main
tenance for ten years, will be 3,000..
600 or 100000.
