Scientific
EYE TESTING

The modern Optometerist examines
the eyes carefully with the aid OF prop.
er instruments and prescribes lenses
for all defects of vision.
In case the eyes are found diseased
the patient is sent to the Oculist (who
makes surgery aud diseased eyes his
speciality
Optometry is distinct profession,
and the Optometrist Who devotes his
entire time to his profession is more
successful than the Oculist who devotes
a small part OF his time,
The modern Optometrist charges for
his professional skill and time either
directly or indirectly (but more about
this next time).
When you consider that you can
have your eyes fitted at little cost at

trihe or take chances with your eyes

intention to give away her entire
fortune with the exception of an
income sufficient for her person
al wants, and of a suitable pro-
vision for her two adopted sons,
Arnold and Raymond de Forest,
but she died before she had an
opportunity of completing her
plan.
Thus you have heard in brief,
just exactly, what offices the
Baroness fulfilled. And if you
remember the tenor of her whole
life was devoted to charity and
benevolence. Prevented from
being the mother of a race which
would surely have done great
things for this world, all her pur-
poses were redoubled so that she
might perform the deeds which
undoubtedly would have been at
tributed to her children and
grandchildren.
And what a beautiful lesson
we may take out of the simplici-
ty and grandeur of her charac-
ter of heart. AS parting word
let me repeat, charity chastens
the heart and soul. Let us all dc
what we can for the great hui
manity which is always suffer
ing.

came to the United States, ar
irving at New York in 1866, just
after the close of the war. He
lived in New York for six months
and then started South, arriving
in New Orleans at the time when
the yellow fever was raging. AL
though a poor man, he devoted
his time to nursing the fever pa
tients and rendered such assist
ance as possible. He lived in
that city four years.
Mr.. Schoenmann began his
business career in New. Orleans,
starting in the shoe business on
a small scale and gradually work
ing his way up. From that city
he went to Morgan City, La, and
thence to Houston, where he
lived continuously.
Shortly after reaching Hous-
ton, Mr.. Schoenmann, in 1875
or 1876, entered into partner
ship with A. ]. Loeb, and opened
a place in the 800 block on Pres
ton avenue. The firm dissolved
in short time and Mr.. Schoen-
mann continued in business him
self. He located in the 900 block
on Preston avenue, where he con-
tinued his business for period
of twenty-eight years. The build
ing in which he was then locat-
ed was put up expressly for his
use. He closed out that business
and retired from active life,
when the building in which he
was located was leased to Ed
Kiam five years ago.
The two sons of the deceased,
Sol and Joel Schoenmann, tooE
up the business and moved to a
stand on Congress avenue, where
they have since been located.

man-and in ten years he will
get Palestine from the Turks,
colonize it with million or more
Jews from Russia, and restore
his people to place among the
nations of the earth. That is
the plot of this story. And it is
not dream, either, nor fancy
that concerns only the Jews.
Being neither a Jew nor a
Turk, | have no valid excuse for
meddling with this matter, ex-
cept that, like the majority of
Americans, I would like to see
the long tragedy of Jewish his
tory have a happy ending before
the curtain falls.
Palestine is the Jewish Father
land. 1t is the old homestead
from which they were driven by
the spears of the Romans. 1t be-
longs to them as truly as West
minister Abbey belongs to the
English or Independence Hall to
Americans. They can never tear
the memory of that little. coun-
try from their hearts; and there
is no good reason why they
should. 1t belongs to them by
right; and it ought to belong to
them by the unanimous consent
of the older nations of the world.
| Again and again, since the
Jewish nation was torn up by
the roots, there have come lead
ers who tried to put it back. But
until these days of railroads,
steamships, newspapers, and
cheap postage, it was impossible
to unite and organize a race that
had been scattered to the four
corners of the earth. The Jews
were poor, too, and despised and
pushed into holes and corners.
Every mans hand was against
them. They were shut off in
'Ghettos"; and it was a matter
! of common surprise for centuries
that the sun would condescend to
shine upon such thing as a Jew.
But to day the Jews are in a
vastly different position. There
: is still prejudice, of course, plen-
! ty of it. There is still poverty,
: for four out of five. But the
: Jews are now SO numerous
: nearly twice as many as lived
in the days of Solomon; they
have so many millionaires-11

originally an agricultural and
pastoral people, they, and espe-
cially those in Russia, would, UNI
der favorable conditions, again
become tillers of the soil. His
idea was that as colonies became
firmly rooted in different parts
of the world they would draw
from Russia greater and greater
numbers, so that in one or two
generations Russia would mate
rally suffer from the loss OF the
energy and activity of her Jews
and would either stop the exodus
by according to those who re-
manned full civil rights or would
fall, as she deserved, the logical
victim of her own intolerance.
The strongest evidence of his
complete confidence in his wife
is in the fact that he left her
sole administrator of his vast
fortune. After his death in 1896
she continued the administrative
office, in her house in the Champs
Elysees where she was devoted
to her work from early morning
until late at night, surrounded by
her secretaries. A year after
the baron's death, the baroness
sent a, million dollars to America
to help in relieving the conges-
ton in the New York ghetto.
Her plan was to encourage the
immigrants to move away from
the city into the rural districts,
by offering more comfortable
dwellings at very low rates. She
also sent $150,000 to erect q

Leather Shoes For Horses

A new market for leather, accord.
ing to lie Franc Parleur." is to be
found in Australia, concerning which
this French journal says:
In districts OF Australia the horse
is shod with leather instead of iron
The feet receive better support This
novelty is employed only in regions
where the ground is permanently Gov.
cred with grass or ine sand. In
country like Australia, where stocks
are sometimes scarce and a horseman
may experience great difficulty at
critical moment in finding a horse
shoe, such an innovation is q useful
novelty. With extra shoes, whose
weight is trife-shoes, too, that
can be fitted without trouble-it is
practicable to travel without fear Of
the horse losing its shoe and being
injured. Though the leather shoe is
more expensive than the iron shoe,
the higher price is repaid by the su-
perior advantages.
In some quarters the horses were
never shod with iron. Probably
shoes, like drivers. will be supplied
before long, thus avoiding the dis
agreeable experience of horses hooi
wearing too rapidly. 1t is not impos
siole that the innovation win soon ex

ture of the soil permits it to b
