MAPS AND GUIDES.
SpectacIes.
By Howard L. Ram.

Spectacles are an ornamental at
tachment to the human face which
hook on behind the ears and rest
shyly on the bridge Of the nose. They
are made Of window glass, and
person with keen eyesight can see al
most as we'll through them as with
the naked eye.
Spectacles are always recommend
ed by some high-priced optician who
makes his own glasses and sells them
at an altitude of 5000 feet above sea
level. The patients eyes are first
tested by leading him into a dark
room, throwing a blanket over his
head and ordering him to read fine
print at a distance Of 80 rods from
the target. If he is unable to do
this, the optician discovers at once
that he has neurasthenic astigmatism
with symptoms of nostalgia, locomo-
tor ataxia and hay fever. The more
symptoms an optician discovers, the
more expensive it is to secure a good
fit.
Spectacles do not add to the beau
ty Of the male, and are worn mostly
by husbands who have no romantic
tendency to keep their trousers
creased. An industrious pair of
spectacles will drive away the head
ache, and in some cases will impart
look of real intelligence to the feat
ures. AS an investment for this pur-
pose, however, they are frequently a
melancholy failure.
The society brand Of spectacles is
called nose glasses. These are a
graceful, but uneasy, variety which
have to be replaced about twice a
week, as they slide from their perch
every little while and have to be
caught in frantic leap with the
bare hand A pair Of nose glasses
never falls to the ground without
breaking both legs.
Some people circumvent the hurd-
ling nose glass by attaching it to a
chain and spring, which interrupt ii
in the middle of high dive and thus
thwart the local optician, who pre-
scribes new $40 lens every time a
fracture occurs. Other people wear
a chain Topped over the right ear
which allows the glasses to dangle
to and fro and produce coy eff
feet.
Spectacles should be worn by ev.
erybody whose eyes do not track
They are also a fairly good substitute
for intellect, and will provide every.
thing but the conversational Mime

It's Only Paper But it WeiQh's Some.

The total weight Of last weeks is
sue Of the three papers Of Alexandria
was 608 lbs, mailed at the postoffice.
214 pounds Of this was distributed in
the city and on the eight routes out
of the city. The balance 1874 pounds
went to the other villages in the
county and other points. The total
weight Of the Echo was 217 pounds.
The balance Of 381 pounds was the
combined weight Of the other two pa
pers of the city.-Alexandria Park
Region Echo.
The weight of the last edition of
the Tribune mailed at the Willmar
Office was 1904 pounds. This does
not include the list to foreign coun-
tries Of which we have about 60, nor
the copies sold over the counter at
the office which vary from so to 100
copies each week. With print paper
selling at $50 per ton it can readily
be seen that the paper item is large
one in the expense of a newspaper.

UNCLE SANS BIG PRESENT
TO HIS CHILDREN
Continued from 9Th Page : l. - 3

David j. Lewis of Maryland and
William Sulzer of New York, who has
just been elected governor Of thai
state.
The postmasters of the five largest
Offices in the country have already
appeared before the parcels post
committee, so Pittsburg was repres-
ented as being large first class Of
flee, though smaller than any Of the
greater five, and as being the center
of tremendous manufacturing area.
The postmaster of Pittsburg reported
that the board Of trade of that city
has special parcel post committee,
working toward bringing the con-
sumer and producer nearer to each
other by the new system. He also
said that many Of the merchants are
planning to have their city deliveries
made by parcel post.
Wilmington, Del, represented a
large farming and manufacturing
district, with it's mail connections
close with Philadelphia, one Of the
largest Offices. Jacksonville is the
largest Office in Florida, and the out
let for all the mail Of the state. 1t
is peculiar in having a special in
crease Of force in winter, the tour
ist season, and the postmaster said
that it was expected that travellers
would use the parcel post extensively
in sending home five and ten-pound
packages Of fruit.
Suffolk, Va, and Charlestown, W.
Va, are both very small second class
Offices, one in the tide-water district,
with large truck interests; the other
far inland in an orchard country,
with diversified farm products. The
postmasters of both Offices reported
great interest in the parcel post, and
said that they had continual inquir-
les regarding it's scope.
From these postmasters the COM
mittee was able to CLEAN great
amount Of valuable information,
which, added to that gained from the
recent hearings in Maryland, puts it
in a position to plan the details of
the service to the greatest advantage
Of the producing farmer.

GET THAT DOCK.

The question OF a public dock in Richmond
Is one that is almost perennial. In that lies the
hope or obtaining Il: At any cost OF time
trouble. or repetition. the city dock must be
made to become an institution instead OF an
idea.
We are encouraged that repeated failure and
miscarriage OF well considered plans have not
served TO weaken the enthusiasm of the Cham
Der Of Commerce for this most important eco
nornIc principle. Every possible interest OF
Richmond will be bettered by increased facility
OF the James river for purposes of navigation.
improvements in the channel now make II pos
sible for vessels OF heavy tonnage to reach the
city from the sea. Il needs only that there be
adequate docking provisions for great indus
trial opportunity 10 be realized.
We trust that the Chamber of Commerce and
citizens generally will keep behind this meas
ure with the persistence which will make 1t
imperative upon the Council to see that It is
Incorporated into law.
