Naples is in danger of losing her pre- eminence as the most thickly populated city in Italy. The returns just pub- lished for December 31, 1905, place the number of inhabitants at 5S5, ,5S9 while the population of Milan stands at 544.- 372. The figures are significant. Only few years ago Naples was more than 100000 ahead of the Lombard capital, and now the difference is reduced to 10000. At this rate, the next census is likely to put Milan in the first place. The cause of the decline in Naples is not altogether clear. Authorities say that the absence of hygienic precau- tions sends up the death rate; yet doc tors who have practised in Naples are loud in praise of it's health-giving clim- ate. One influential factor in the case is said to be the increased cost of living in Naples and the consequent lowering in the standard of nourishment attain able by the poor. Two pounds of meat may be bought in Milan for 2S cents; in Naples they will cost nearly twice as much: while at the same time the average wage in Naples is only three
 fifths of that prevailing in Milan,

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Q. Why is 1t that glnsses are
worn now more than few years ago?
A. Years ago the science of cor
recting errors of sight was not under
stood as it is today, and only old per-
sons and those who were very near
sighted wore glasses. Now we cor
rect with lenses all errors OF vision.
@. Why is it that cheap glasses do
not give satisfaction?
A. Cheap glasses are made of infe.
rior glass and are faulty in construc-
ton. Optical glass. as used by us, Is
clear, brilliant and perfect, thus insur-
ing comfort and ease to the wearer.
@. Can headaches be relieved by
glasses?
A. If you have headaches and
drugs are Of little or no use, get your
eyes examined.

Letter to J. ". Jeuuing.
Welsh, louisiana.

Dear Sir: You buy your horse
shoes and nails; your grandfather, if
he was a blacksmith, made 'em. You
can't afford TO hammer them out by
hand, when you can buy as good, or
better perhaps, readymade to your
hand, for little more than thu cost
of the iron.
What do you think Of a painter WHO
goes lon buying his linseed oil and
whitehead, and mixing. al d tinting by
hand, and charging his time for work
that is far better-done than he can 60
it, done by machinery. done as your
horseshoes and nails are made.
Mistake isn't it?
He is wasting hischance in tie world.
There is no better stuff 10 do business
with than good hOrseshOeS and paint;
and no better work than putting them
on. Good hOrseshoes well put on:
It's the putting 'em on that makes lOu
a blacksmith: no matter who makes
'em.
Who wants to go back To old times,
and make his own hOrSe>hOe>?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how To make gooG paint ne
used to, but paint has run away from
him.
Yours truly
