the old soldiers in this locality to meet
on the 5th of this month. There were
IL present, and we organized Post

part of the old boys who carried the
rifles in the war. We had a good time
talking over our old associations and
finding out what regiments each be-
longed to. We expect to gather in sew

following were the officers elected:

The Making of Lenses.

The essential part Of any device for
the study Of the starry millions-thc
suns, planets, comets and the nebulae
that are perhaps new worlds In the
making-is the lens or the optical train
that consists Of series Of lenses. 1t
Is this that makes the modern science
Of astronomy possible. There Is abso-
lutely no other human occupation that
requires the accuracy of observation
and the dellcacy Of touch that are
requisite for the making Of the finest
lenses. These are the most perfect
products Of human hands. 1t may
convey some idea of the labor requir-
ed in the making Of large lens to
say that at least one years time is re-
quired for the grinding and polishing
Of a thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two inches In diameter CSIuires
the unremitting care and attention OF
q skilled workman for two or three
days. 1t is easy, then. to see why 1t IL
that even lenses of high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty inch
object glass for a large telescope can
not be made in much less than four
years time, and If everything does not
20 Just right 1t may require much
longer than that.-Kansas City Star.

Persian tests.

An exceedingly ugly man, says the
Persian Joe Miller, was once In the
mosque, asking pardon Of Allah for
his sins and praying to be delivered
from the fires of hell. One who ever
heard his prayers said to him: where
fore, o friend, wouldst thou cheat hell
of such a countenance? Art thou re-
luctant to burn up face like thatr
Another story the Persian jester tells
is that a certain person with hideous
nose was once on time wooing wo-
man. Describing himself to her and
trying to make an attractive picture,
he said, 81 am a man devoid Of light
ness and frivolity, and | am patient In
bearing afflictlons"
aye" said the woman. "Wert thou
not patient In bearing Affections thou
hadst never endured thy nose these
forty yearsT
All of which is more witty than kind.

Moreover, the tea which they use Is
