Do you understand what is
meant by scientific fitting ef
glasses? We will try ito ex-
plain. Seldom are two pairs of
eyes alike. If all eyes were
alike, if all eye difficulties were
the same, all glasses could be
the same. Glasses properly
fitted to the particular eyes
dovetail with those eyes. The
glasses supply what nature
may have left off, or what has
been taken away by sickness,
overwork, etc. Doctor Terry,
scientific optician, at Leffert's

ton to learn what it is that is
lacking and then introduces the

lated to aid in the particular

Hints About i.ggs.

Eggs when boiling, frequently
burst. This Is caused by their be-
ing too full of air and may be pre-
vented by pricking one end with q
needle before putting them into the
water, which makes an outlet for the
air.
Eggs become unwholesome If kept
in refrigerators; a fungus forms in
them which is easily found by the
miscroscope, although it is not no.
ticeable to the taste.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth
OF shell. The shell of fresh egg
has a limelike surface. A boiled
egg which is dull and dries quickly
on the shell when taken from the
kettle is fresh.
Boiled eggs which adhere to the
fhell are flesh.

HOW RACE FEELING VARIES.
chinaman Hated in California, But
Not In Mississippi.

If you go to California today, you
find an immense and irrepressible
feeling of race antagonism against
the Chinaman, and virtually none at
all against the negro. There is race
knowledge concerning Cinnamon, and
enough Cinnamon there to constitute
n race menace, but not enough ne
groes, says John Sharp williams, in
the Metropolitan Mazagine
If you go to Vermont, you will find
none against either.
II you so to Mississippi, you will
find the same irrepressible outbreak
ing of antagonism between the white
against the Chinese.
A Chinaman, well dressed and be-
having himself, taking dinner at
Mississippi hotel, might excite some
little remark, but nothing more. A
negro If he were graduate of Har-
ward college, spotlessly clothed and
just washed, would, if ne were ad-
mitted to the dinner table at a hotel
I'm my state, excite a riot.
If, on the contrary, he went TO
hotel in Vermont, the other guests
would doubtless seek an Introduction
to him, it being an opportunity to see
and study something of new and
STRANGE type.
The total absence Of this feeling
among people who have never felt the
presence of tho negro as menace TO
the moralitics of social life, to the
white man S civilization or his code OF
ethics, will be realized, when you re-
member that Carnegie, Wanamaker,
Bishop Potter, Of New York, President
Roosevelt, have all eaten with the me-
gro, as host and guest, at the same ta-
Bile. You would realize 1t all the more
If you knew.

A Fashionable Couture.

Halrdressing is truly an art in
these days Of exquisite coiffures and
II requires taste as we'll as skill to
accomplish some of the coiffures de-
signed for women of fashion. Waved
effects continue extremely fashion
able and sometimes the coiffure is
entirely lost amidst the mass of
waves into which the hair is undu-
lated. There are puffs and curls of
all kinds, however, to add an appro.
pirate touch to the waves, and when
these are not used, the long, Eng
liah braids are brought into service.

Catgut strings, it is well known,
are made of the intestines of sheep.
The intestines of the full grown ami
NAL are from forty to fifty feet long.
The raw material from the stock
yards is first thoroughly cleansed OF
fat and fleshy fiber by dull knives ar
ranged on a drum turned by a crank.
The white tough membrane that is
left Is then handed over to the split
ter, who deXteriously splits the ma
terial into even strands by bringing
1t against the blade of safety razor
set upright in the table before him.
The stands are then spun together
and placed on the drying frames.
An American e violin string re-
quires six strands; the European four.
The strands, at one end fastened to
an upright post, are twisted togetn-
er, while still damp and pliable, by
means of a spinning wheel Taken
from the drying frames, the strings
are cut in lengths, coiled and boxed
in oiled paper for shipment. To poll
ish the strings, very fine emery pap
er, laid on grooved aluminium
block, is used. While the strings,
are still on the drying frame, the
covered block is passed over the
strings, polishing as many at one time
as there are grooves in the block.
1t can be seen that from the manner
In which the strands are twisted the
effect of polishing is to weaken the
string.
In the essential features, the pro-
cess of making the fine gut strings
for surgical uses, or the heavy strings
three-eighths of an inch thick some-
times employed for machinery betting,
does not differ from the method en-
ployed in the case Of the musical
strings, except that the latter are
handled with more care.

one Of the most supenstitious of men.
In September, 1907, when the 18th fell

'Look out" He grasped the situation
In an instant, and there passed
through his mind the thought that
since 1t was Friday the 18th, he was
sure to be caught under the neavy safe.
Nevertheless, he jumped for his life
and landed half in the gutter and half
on the sidewalk. Then he looked
around to see the havoc, and discov-
cred that the ropes had merely Slip

ing hoisted up as though nothing had
happened. AS he lay stretched in the

and fat. When he rose and brushed
