GLASSES

1t used to be very good form to say,
GLASSES are unbecoming to me and
will never wear Them" and there was
some reason at that time for this
statement, as glasses were not made
for the young, being worn mostly by
/ > aged. Now, however, there has
been S.ch an advancement made that
we are able to fit any popularity in
nose or face with becoming glasses.
Glasses are made so much lighter now
adays, and those delicate skeletons,
either in nose glasses or with wires
to go behind the ears, are considered
in good taste and very stylish for
young and mi6dle-aged people. If you
would have the up-to-date lenses, see
the Kryptoks, which are noted for
their elegance. They bring youth to
the eyes of the aged, both in appear
ance and visual power. If you have
never worn bifocals, and are now
ready for your first pair do not fail to
secure these lenses. Send for book
let describing Kryptoks. Made and
sold by the Columbian Bifocal Co.,
Temple Court, Denver, Colo.

Biographies as "a Stimulus,

We cannot help living in some degree
the lives of heroes who are constantly
in our minds. Our characters are con
stantly being modified, shaped and
nodded by the suggestions which are
thus held. The most helpful life sto-
ries for the average youth are not the
meteoric ones, the unaccountable ones,
the astonishing ones, like those Of Ma
poleon, Oliver Cromwell and Julius
Caesar. The great stars Of the race
dazzle most boys. They admire, but
they do not feel that they can initiate
them. They like to read their lives,
but they do not get the %helpfulness and
the encouragement from them that
they do from reading the lives of those
who have not startled the world so
much. 1t is the triumph Of the Or
binary ability which is most helpful as
an inspiration and encouragement.
The life of Lincoln has been an in
fnitely greater inspiration to the world
than the life of Napoleon or that of
julius Caesar.-O. S. Marden in Sue
cess Magazine.

Trusts TO Manage Affairs.

Omaha, June 9.-W. III. Ferguson of
Lincoln has resigned as receiver Of the
Standard Beet Sugar company and
Harry p. Dueul of Omaha has been ap-
pointed in his stead, the resignation OF
Ferguson and appointment of Dueul be-
ing confirmed by Judge Munger in the
United States circuit court Saturday
morning.
w. d. McHugh also has resigned as
solicitor in the receivership matter, but
continues as attorney for the Old Colony
Trust company, which as trustees re-
presents the mortgage creditors of the
Standard company.
The question of continuation of the
operation of the plant at Ames was un-
der discussion by TIE reorganization
committee for the Standard company
and the Old Colony Trust company be-
fore Judge Munger Saturday morning.
A compromise probably will be agreed
upon by the representatives of the mort
gage creditors, whereby a sufficient sum
may be raised by subscription among
themselves to operate the plant this
season.-Special to Lincoln Journal.
By order of the federal court the
Standard Beet Sugar company of Leav-
lit, Neb., will be leased to a syndicate
of eastern capitalists.
William HI. Ferguson, who has been
acting as receiver, resigned from that
position and his resignation was accept
ed, Harry P. Deuel. being appointed to
finish up the affairs.
At the afternoon session of the court,
however, the lease was granted to the
syndicate and MI. Ferguson was appoint
ed general manager.
The company is practically bankrupt,
one involuntary petition having been
filed against it by farmer creditors, but
its owners have always claimed that the
business would pay if carried over the
temporary acknowledgements News.

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES.

William Wilkie Collins [1S24-S9] was
the son of an English portrait painter.
As a young mar he engaged in COM
merce, but later studied law and was
admitted to the bar. His own tastes,
however, inclined him to literature, and
even while in business life he wrote a
historical romance "Antonina."
Becoming acquainted with Dickens,
he was encouraged by the latter to give
up his profession and devote himself
entirely to novel writing. Dickens at
that time was editor of the magazine
called Household Words" and in it's
pages there were published the short
stories by Collins, afterward collected
into a volume entitled CATER Dark" In
another magazine also edited by Dickens
''All the Year Round," Collins scored
his first great success with the serial
story ''The Woman in White, which
was read with the keenest interest by
tens of thousands. In it Collins showed
himself to be a great master of con-
struction. The plot was so intricate as
to hold the reader in suspense until the
end; while the mystery and horror of
certain parts of it were mastery in their
execution. Collins, in fact ranks in
English with Gaborian in French for
the ingenuity with which he Celebrates
a plot and this special gift is seen also
in "Armadale'', 1.-The Moonstone", and
mo Name" For a long time his
stories were almost as widely read as
those of Dickens himself; and in 1873,
like Dickens he visited the United States
where he gave readings of his W short
stories.

Bulldogs a. Menace to Health.

The bulldog is a menace to health.
We have this On the authority Of q
noted French physician, who says that
because of his large mouth the bull.
dog is a great purveyor of disease, es.
pecially Of consumption, Giphtheria
and the like, as the dribbling from the
heavy, loose jaws is in%cessant. Those
who fondle bulldogs do so at a great
risk. He traces many cases of in.
fectious disease, especially among
young children, to households in which
bulldogs are kept as pets. When we
add to this the invariable ferocity of
the beast, the danger to which children
and other innocent and defenseless
people are exposed whenever he roams
the streets or highways, we have an
argument in favor Of his disposal that
cannot be gainsaid. Away with bull
dogs!

Changes From "A Fish to a Bird

Changes From a Fish TO a Bird.
The story Of the early life, transfer
nation and final death Of the Chinese
quail is the most remarkable that is
found in the pathological literature of
the world. The narrative in all its un-
reasonableness is found in the story of
ON chung, which is the name the Chi
nese quail is known by when at home
in the Flowery Kingdom. Celestial au-
thoritieS on bird lore declare that no
specimen of ON chung "a yer known
to live a year; that they do not lay
eggs, as all other known species Of
birds do, and, finally, that their pro-
genitor is a Shiny, four jointed worm,
which has a red head and a sting on
the end of its tail. This queer ~seacoast
worm, according to the curious legend
of ON chung, lays 100 eggs annually.
Fifty Of these become fish and the 9th,
er fifty are worms Of the same species
as the parent. The fish that has come
into existence in this curious manner
also lays 100 eggs a year. Fifty Of
these become water denizens after the
image Of their parent, and the others
become birds of the famed ON chung
family. These ON chungs, or Chinese
quails, never breed, and are only
brought into existence as above related
We give the above not as a literal fact,
but as a specimen of the Chinese idea
of evolution.
