To have ono article printed, even

Though these are not the days of
miracles, yet science, art and mechanism
have advanced to a degree of perfection,
and the possible accomplishments of
facts almost bordering on the miracu
lous, .In truth. the rapid development
in me past quarter of a century has
accomplished much more than
had ever been dreamed of in our phil
osophy of Ion ago. . It has not been so
many years since medical science was
unaoie 10 diagnose with positiveness
t&e interior condition of eye troubles.
Of course, its anatomy and physiology
were understood, but no one had fath
omed the scope of the eye's mysteries
until the optnalmcs:ope was made to
penetrate its walls and so oculism and
optics have advanced hand in hand with
science. ,
t T?e.'f rcn,arks ar suggested by Df
L. H. Matthez's work in the scientific ad
lustment oi glasses to the . eyes. There
naiDeen aauy evidence of the good Dr.
Matthez has accomplished during bis
stay here and too much cannot be said in
his behalf. It is not spectacles in them
selves as mercantile warewhether good,
bad or indifferent, which give sight and
effects good no matter what It is the
1 sessional skiii and nin scientific at
tainments of the careful examining ocu
lo optician, who makes bis thorough ex
amination and then adds to it, in optics,
the filling of his formula or prescription,
the very highest degree of skilled execu
tion in the letses and accurately fitting
frames,.-' -,l ' 'i J . ,
Failing sight can never retrieve itself
unaided, and the longer it is neglected
the more difficult It is to appty the
remedy. Dr. Matthez is not a vender of
glasses. He is a gentleman who has
made a reputation second to none in
this country as a skillful and scien
tific oculo-opticlan, having made the
study of the eyes a specialty, and after
twenty-two years of experience and
close application to his profession is
prepared to treat defective eyes in a
practical and scientific manner. The
doctor does not simply sell his glasses.
They are merely an adjunct to his pro
fession. He makes a thorough and
careful examination of the eve. in a
manner peculiar to himself, and nr. Her.
stands ..that delicate organ in all its
various phases. Having satisfied him
self 'thoroughly as j to the condition
and; needs of the eye under consider
ation, the doctor then proceeds to
adapt the lenses to its requirements
This is now the moment when the
knowledge cf the lenses required is
brought to bear, and as. all depends on
the glasses to be selected. The glasses
used by Dr. Matthez are not common
glasses, selected at haphazard, but are
of the finest material money can pro
duce, scientifically adapted to the re
quirements of all degrees of failing
sight, and made with reference to the
needs of the eye, not requiring constant

Tb Mystery ot XJfo.
It is this mystery-of growth and
life, of beauty and sweetness and col
or and sun loved ways starting
forth from the clods that gives the
corn its power over mo. Somehow
I identify myself with'" it. I live
again as I see it. Year by year it itf
the same, and when I see it T foi
that I have onc6 . moro entered on a
new life. And to my fancy tho
spring,' with its green corn, its vio
lets and -hawthorn leaves and in
creasing song, grows dearer and
more dear to this our ancient earth.
So many centuries have flown. Now
it is the-manner with all natural
things to gathor as it were by small-'
est particles. -
iho merest grain of sand drifts
unseen into a crevice, and by and
by another After awhile thero is
a heap. A century and itisamounoV
and Jhen every ono observes and
comments pn it. Time itself has
gone onslike this. The years havp
accumulated, first in drifts, then in
heaps,, and now a vast mound, tq
which the mountains are knolls,
rises up and overshadows us. - Time
lies heavy on the world. ' The old,
old earth is glad to turn from the
cai-k and care of driftless centuries
to tho first sweet blades of green.

season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver (is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alterative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine bas often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
cine will act more surely in counteract
ing and freeing the system from the
malarial poison, Headache, Indigestion,
Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. 60c. and $1.00 per bottle at R.
