II have q good story OH n OF Wash
mgton's best known oculisSs," said a
prominent clubman, addressing some
friends In the billiard room of the Met
ropolitan club. "My eyes had trou-
bled me for some months, and finally I
went to sec the doctor about them.
after a thorough examination he
said that the muscles were badly
strained, and then he gave me q pre-
soription for drops to be used In my
eyes three times n day. When I left
he gave me an appointment for that
day week, as he said he could not ex-
anime my eyes for glasses until they
were In their normal condition.
"We1l, I mislaid that blessed pre-
scription, and as 1 was particularly
busy that week I had no time to get
another copy. SO In some trepidation
I kept my second appointment.
"As the doctor examined my eyes I
hesitated q moment about telling him
I had not used the drops, when he took
the words out Of my mouth and the
breath out Of my body by remarking
with pleased emphasis:
"'Your eyes ere very much i'm
proved. That medicine which / gave
you is certainly wonderful. 1t always
has such prompt and satisfactory re-
sults.'
ut was oil I could do to keep SILENT

Comets In Oldep Davs.

People nowadays do not regard the
comet as M Of those signs that fore
run the death or fall OF kings, but the
superstition was still current In the
time Of Queen Elizabeth, though, to
the amaHement Of her c%ourtiers, the
queen calmly scorned 1t. 1t was also
thought that If the sovereign would re-
frain from looking at the malignant
celestial passerby no harm would come
to her. On one occasion Elisabeth's
attendants shut and curtained her win
dows, but her majesty, as might have
been expected, with 20 courage an
swerable to the greatness of her es-
tate" caused them to be opened, cry
ing as she looked up: "Jacta est alea-
the die Is casty" Then, like King Knut
on the seashore, she read her people q
homily, asserting that her "steadfast
hope and confidence were too firmly
planted in the providence Of God to be
blasted or .affrfghted with those beams
which either had no ground In nature
whereupon to rise or at least no war.

Queen Elizabeth ae an Ale Drinker.
There is IN amusing letter written
by the Earl Of Leicester to Lord Bur
leigh as to the lack Of sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield.
There is not n drop Of good drink
for her here. We were fain TO send
to London and Kenilworth and divers
other places where ale was. Her own
beer was so strong as there was no
man able to drink It," Ale and bread
were the chief Items of the royal
breakfast. The quantity Of ale con-
sumed by ladies at breakfast In those
days was considerable, for in the reign
Of Henry VIII. the maids Of honor
were allowed for breakfast lone Chef
loafe, one manchet, two gallons Of ale
and a pitcher Of wine" A Lady Lucy
made a mighty tonic Of the national
