lime Lost BY speetacIes.

Dr. Abraham Huntsinger has just
given out a table relative to the time
lost by persons wearing glasses. He
sayS it's mostly time wasted, and cost
ly time to some. DR.. Huntsinger bases
his figures on the study Of mankind
for years.
He says the people who wear spec
tacles remove them and put them on
again at least five times day, and fig
ures that 20 seconds are required for
each such operation.
The man or woman who carries
glasses for period of twenty-five
years (the period being placed low by
the doctor) will lose thirty-two days
of eight hours each as result of the
habit to take off and replace eye
glasses.-Indianapolis News.

The corn has much to say.
1t tells with gay delight
The gossip of golden day,
The dream of the tender night.
The sunny slopes run sweet
To the edge Of the woodland shadows.
Where the idle. laughing streams repeat
The talk of the happy meadOws.
But the trees that lean above
Have deeper thoughts to measure:
They whisper of home and love,
Anu hold their own life's treasurer
They breathe in the sum filled space;
Rooted in calm they stand.
Granting the birds a nesting place,
Blessing the quiet land
And the hills their secrets hold
Where the brooding clouds hang over;
There the soft winds unfold
Glad thoughts that few discover.

from our American forests, he could pro-

many other chronic, or lingering all
