DEFINING "Optometrist."

An optometry bill will be presented
in the Pennsylvania legislature this

protection Of the public no less than
for the safeguarding of the profession
of optometry. This bill will be SINH
lar TO one passed by the legislature
of New York state and signed by Gov.
Charles e. Hughes. 1t will bring into
prominence a word that is becoming
generally used throughout the United
States. Soon everybody will be using
"optometrist" What is that? 1t is
the name adopted by the American
Association of Opticians at its con-
vention aL Milwaukee, Wis, to desig-
nate those skilled in the practice of
optometry and optometry is the en-
ployment of any means other than the
use Of drugs for the measurement of
the powers of vision and the a1lapta-
tion of lenses for the aid thereof.
Governor Hughes, when signing the
New York Optometry bill, said: "The
practice of optometry exists and will
continue to exist, and unquestionably
it forms a proper subject for regula-
tion; /, therefore, approve the bill"

Plenty of Exercise Necessary.

Plenty of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a
healthy condition. Any excessive or
unusual exertion, however, is sure to
cause stiffness and soreness of the
muscles and joints.
To counteract this effect there is
nothing better than Sloan's Liniment.
Lay 1t on lightly where the muscles
have been strained; 1t requires no rub.

Sloan's Liniment is a great boon to
athletes, for 1t not only relieves pain
and stiffness, but it is an excellent
remedy for sprains, cuts, bruises and
cramps.
Mr.. J. f. Price of Tuscumbia, Ala,
writes:-"I am an engineer on the
Southern Road from Chattanooga to
Memphis, Tenn. The continued ele-
vation Of my arm upon the throttle
gives 1t sore feeling when on a long
journey, and there is nothing that
will take the soreness out like Sloan's
Liniment, and / keep bottle in my

outlaw has for years defied the po-
lice of Oahu, has dared them to come
and take him from the stronghold he
had built for himself among the lava
fields of Waianae and has lived by
forays on the countryside. At first
he was wanted only because he was a
leper; then he added to this series
of robberies and hold-ups and long
succession Of threats to kill the first
man who dared lay hands on him.
Twice has he held off police posses
at the point Of his gun and many
times he slipped through the traps
laid for him by the territorial police.

HE DID NOT KNOW.

Illustrative of the eXasperating
ease with which chickens OCCASION
ally "come home to roost," is this
story from "A Soldiers Letters to
Charming Nellie" One day in June,
1862, in the early part of the Civil
War, General Hood, of the Texas
Brigade, halted each regiment in
turn, and gave his orders. To the
Fourth he said:
SOLDIERS of the Fourth, know as
little of your destination as you do.
If, however, any of you learn or sus-
pect it, keep it a secret. To every
one who asks questions, answer, I
don't know We are now under
the orders of General Jackson, and I
repeat them to you."
General Jackson also gave strict
orders against foraging; but apples
were plentiful, and it was contrary to
nature for hungry soldiers not to eat
them, and so it came about that on
the march to Staunton General jack
son came upon Texan sitting on the
limb of an apple tree, busily engaged
in filling his haversack with the
choicest fruit.
The general reined in his old sorrel
horse, and in his customary curt tone,
asked:
"What are you doing in that tree,
sir?"
IL don't know" replied the Texan.
"What command do you belong
to-"
81 don't know"
as your command ahead of you ar
behind you?"
II don't know"
Thus it went on, "I don't know"
given as answer to every question.
Finally Jackson asked, sternly:
"Why do you give me that answer
to every question:"
Cause them's the order our gen.
eral gin us this mornin,' and he tole
us he got 'em that er way straight
from ole Jackson" replied the man
in the tree.
Disguised with too literal obedi-
enco to his own commands, but not
caring to argue the point, General
Jackson rode on.

POSING A nATTLEsNAKE.


"Until one has actually tried to
make a rattlesnake strike-for the
purpose of getting his picture, for ex-
ample-it Is difficult to realize what
a mild creature he is" declares Mr..
Dane Coolidge, in a recent narrative
of his experience with rattlers. He
did not, however, acquire this sense
of their mildness Immediately, and he
admits that their tempers vary; nor
was it till after two or three seasons
of catching them as part of his
business of wild animal collecting
that he began to lose his fear and
was seized with a desire to photo
graph what is, he declares, "un-
doubtedly the ugllest snake in the
world"
Despite this dubious charm, 1t is
scarcely likely that many amateurs
of the camera will care first to catch,
then to release at the proper place
and season, then to coax or to force
to pose, and finally to snap" such
difficult models.
"To make the rattlesnake pose"
says Mr.. Coolidge, that is the heavy
work of the artist. Snakes are very
sensitive to the attitude of their mas
ters. There must be no veXatious
outbreaks, or the subject will become
unmanageable; no nervous fidgetlng
ana dodging, or he will become bold
and attempt to escape But, even as
you would humor a spoiled child, be
calm, firm and persistent.
He succeeded in obtaining many
characteristic pictures, and his fur
ther description, If it fails to arouse
emulation, will assuredly arouse in
terest.
ION level ground four-foot rattle
snake can strike about two and a half
feet. TO procure a good picture the
camera should be within four feet of
him.
with a margin of a foot and a
half, 1t would seem easy for the pho
tographer to control his nerves and
get perfect exposure. But by the
time the old bulldog, fighting male
has been brought to his characteristic
pose-head up, rattles quivering con-
vulsively, and neck retracted like
drawn bow-the human imagination
steps in and makes that four feet
seem less than two. And from con-
stantly watching his opal-glowing,
hateful eyes, the darting red tongue
and poison-swollen jowls, a kind Of
horror, such as is supposed to charm
birds, creeps over me. The muscles
twitch and joggle the camera, and
ones feet develop surprising ten
dency to back up instead of to go
ahead.
"But that fighting pose is hard to
get, and it endures but a moment.
AS the snake lowers its head, | move
quietly forward, watching It through
my lens. The moment It is focused
/ stamp my foot. Instantly the head
is raised, the supple neck drawn
tense. spring my shutter and step
back unharmed."

FISHING FOR SHARKS.

Aitutaki, one of the Cook Islands,
is celebrated for shark catching all
over Australasia. One does not catch
sharks in Aitutaki after the usual
fashion, writes Beatrice Grimshaw
in her book, I'm the Strange South
Seas" There is something more ex-
citing in store for the visitor who
goes fishing in Aitutaki lagoon.
BY noon the lagoon is unbearably
warm in all the shallow parts, and
the sharks, which inhabit 1t in large
numbers, begin to feel uncomforta-
BILE. Some of them head for the
coral patches here and there, and lie
on the sand in the shelter of the
rocks, their bodies thrust as far into
the clefts and crannies of the coral
as they can manage to get. This is
The Aitutakian's opportunity.
He is perfectly fearless f. the wat
sr, and he knows that the shark is,
after all, stupid brute. So he arms
himself with knife, takes strong
rope, noosed in slip-knot at one end,
and dives from his whale boat into
the warm, green water, where he has
marked the latter end of a shark
sticking out from patch of coral,
some three or four fathoms under
meath the surface.
The shark, being head in, does not
zee anything, but by and by he be-
comes aware of delicate tickling all
along his massive ribs, and as he
rather likes this, he stays quite still
and enjoys it. 1t is the Aitutakian.
tickling him as boys tickle trout in
a stream, and for exactly the same
reason. He has got the moose in his
left hand, and his aim is to slip il
over the sharks tail, while ho dis
tracts the brute's attention by pleas
antly tickling with the other hand.
He is pretty sure to get the moose
on before the shark suspects any,
thing. Once that is accomplished he
rises to the surface like a shooting
air bubble, swings himself into the
boat, and gives the order to haul in.
The men in the boat lay hold of the
rope, tighten with sharp jerk, and
toll is on.
Now the shark begins to realize
that something has happened, and re-
alizes it still more fully in another
minute or two, when he finds himself
fighting for his life on the gunwale
of rocking boat, against half doz-
en- islanders armed with knives and
axes.
The battle is short; the great brute
is soon finished, and in another hour
or two the village is feeding on his
meat, and his fins are drying in the

The Ingenuity of Inventors.

The ingenuity of inventors ana
manufacturers Is ever at work In the
endeavor to reduce the expense oS
production, and at the same time to
improve the quality Of articles having
a large sale. This is not only beneh-

inures to the benefit Of the producer
in increasing sales and preventing
competition. This has been so In the
case Of farm machinery, clothing
shoes, bicycles, ETC., and now 1t Is ap-

sands OF this style Of razor have been
sold at from $3.50 to IS each and Civ

the best results are obtained by hav

coIIeoe Men In Business.

Mr.. Harriman's opinion as to the
condition under which college man
will get on in railroading is very
much the same as that of most sue
cessful men regarding college men
in their especial calings. The great
railroad administrators and organizer
inevitably lays great stress on the
moral rather than the intellectual
qualities of the man under discus
sion. 1t Is "the stick-to-it spirit"
that carries one through. But also
1t is to be remembered that it is this
spirit that carries a boy through col
'lege with the best results. The one
who is endowed with it is not neces'
sarily or generally fair represents

ing does lot more for him than II

The truth is that there Is such n
variety of boys at college and such
a variety in the colleges that any gen.
eralization is defective. One thing
however, is indicated in Mr. Harri-
mans shrewd commentary. 1t Is
that the boy in college who has to

career, real and valuable advantage

INDIAN TRAINING.

The Indian believes absolutely In
nasal breathing. "Again and again."
writes Mr.. George Wharton James in
"What the White Race May Learn
From the Indian" "have | seen the
Indian mother, as soon as the child
was born, watch 1t to see II 1t
breathed properly. If not, she would
at once pinch the child's lips together,
and keep them pinched until the
breath was taken in and eXhaled
easily and naturally through the nos
trils. If this did not answer, she
would take strip of buckskin, and
tie it as a bandage below the chin
and over the crown of the head, fore
ing the jaws together; and then, with
another bandage of buckskin, she
covered the lips of the little one.
Thus the habit of nasal breathing
was formed Immediately the child
saw the light, and it knew no other
method.
"But not only do the Indians
breathe through the nose: they are
also experts in the art of deep breath
ing. When l first began to visit the
