SPECTACLES.

_—— ee eee ee

Over twenty-five years I have been in the Spectacle bud moss and during that time have fitted hundreds and hundres of persons. Some had put off getting glasses so long that the could not see a large 4 inch letter A without going within 2 0 3 feet of it, and might have gone blind if they had put off getting glasses much longer. Others have been. fitted or rather misfitted, with wrong glasses by travellers, and charg- ed a great deal more than they ought to have been. This year our traveller, Mr. C. H. Whiite, intends calling on par- ties at their homes in the country, to test eyes and show sam ples of our goods. Should he call on youl bespeak for him your favorable consideration, and any order you may giv him will be filleé as soon as possible and guaranteed by me Gla-ses can also be exchanged at the store, CAwERON Buiocxk City, if after a trial they do not prove as satisfactory as you

DAVID HELO THe BABY,

This Because a Young Woman Was De- tained on 2 Fast Train.

There were only four persons in the party, including a very small and silent baby, but their advent caused a revolution of emotions in the car, which was com- pletely filled with passengers. The under- sized father and portly mother of the baby, together with Cousin Em, boarded the train at C——, bound for New York, and, as it was a Jersey coast express trajn on the Pennsylvania railroad, the stop at C was of short duration. Immediate- ly after the train started the announce- ment was made in three different vocal keys that Cousin Em was being carried away from home against her volition.

‘Here! Stop this train, David! Stop it, I say, and let Cousin Km off!’’ commanded we baby’s mother, pushing her little hus- Sand toward the door of the car.

‘‘Stop the train, conductor! Hold ’er up! Hold ’er up!’’ echoed the husband, running frantically down the aisle. ‘‘ Yes, for goodness’ sakes, let me off,’’ chimed in Cousin Em shrilly. ‘‘I ain’t fit to go nowhere. I’ve got nothin but a check apron on.”’

The conductor, however, was somewhere else, and the brakeman’s authority did not extend beyond keeping the excited young woman from jumping off the fast moving train. With a wail of despair, therefore, Cousin Em retreated to the center of the car and proceeded to relate to the passen- gers how she had only come aboawmi ‘‘to help Cousin Effie on with the baby and the things, because Cousin David is no earth- ly use where women folks are. And here Il am with nuthin but a eheck apron on,”’ she sobbed in conelusion.

Meanwhile the baby’s mother was mak- ing vigorous use of an ample vocabulary in setting clearly before her little husband’s mind a few facts regarding his general uselessness. ‘‘Now you just fork over the money to pay Cousin Em’s fare to the next station and back, and then you'll hold the baby till we git home,’’ she said, with an emphasis that brooked no dissent. David handed out 40 cents and quietly took the baby.

When the eonductor appeared, he was inclined to treat the incident as a good joke on Cousin Em, but that young woman indignantly bade him observe that she had ‘‘nuthin but a eheck apron on,’’ and to keep his jesting for some more suitable occasion. To a few of the sympathetic female passengers she confided that she had some ‘‘ befitting frocks’ at home, and as she left the car at M—— station she expressed the hope that she might meet her new friends again ‘‘with suthin better

i than a check apron on.”’

Cousin David held the baby until the train stopped at Jersoy City. His wife kept her eyes on him, and se did the rest of the passengers.—New York Times.

CHINESE WILD HORSES.

Curious Little Animals Found Jn the Western Part of the Empire.

The horse has become so thoroughly domesticated in all parts of the world that really wild representatives of the species are extremely rare. ‘There still exist in parts of Hungary partially wild horses, Dut these when captured young may be broken in and put to harness withas much readiness as horses reared on a farmstead. It is, however, far different with the wild horses of the Tartars, which are untam- ablo and will not live ip captivity.

During his journey through western China G. E. Grum Grizmailo met witha wild horse in the Dzungarian desert, and after much trouble succeeded in securing two specimens, though neither of them were taken alive. The herds are extremely cautious, and it was only by the utmost patience and cunning that the explorers were able to conceal themselves near enough to a small salt lake where the horses came to drink to shoot a couple of thera. The wild horse has something in common with the Altai, Caucasian and Finnish ponies. Itis of short stature— 1.46 meters high—hasa broad chest and back, a short, massive neck and fine legs, as elegant as those of a race horse, ending with broad hoofs.

The head is rather heavy in comparison to the body, but the wide forehead is hand- some, the line from the forehead to the nose straight and the upper lip covers the lower one. The upper part of the tail has the color of the body, but is black at the point, and, like that of the wild ass, is not entirely covered with hair. The mane be- gins in front of the ears, the longest hairs being in its middle part. It is black in color and hangs over to the left. In the scantiness of hair about the body the wild horse rather resembles the Tekke Turco- man horse, but the killed specimens had a strange looking pair of whiskers, about four centimeters long.—Pittsburg Dis- patch.

The Age of Music.

‘“‘This appears to be an age of music,"’ said Mr. Bugleton. ‘‘Here in the ferry- house you find a phonograph, into whose ever open mouth soamebedy drops a nickel. As it begins to play people waiting gather around to listen, and the wnan who has started it displays his peculiarities by standing at one side and listening with the rest or by planting himself square in front of the horn and getting all he cau out of it himself and letting the rest listen with him,

‘“‘Then there is the musical weighing machine, which plays a tune for you as you stand upon the platform, and finally tosses out to you a little card, upon which you find your fortune told and likewise your weight.

‘“‘Or you may ‘hear the band play’ by dropping a penny in the slot, the band be- ing a music box with a cylinder as big as a rolling pin.

“It is indeed an age of music—fora consideration—but was there ever a time when you didn’t haye to pay the piper?”’ —New York Sun.

Removal Sale

We wish we could make everybody believe that promptness is prevention; that there should be no de- lay when you are losing flesh and when you are pale, espec-

(ially if a cough be present. The continued use of Scott’s Emulsion in the early stagesof lung affections does prevent the development of Con- sumption. Your doctor will tell you this is true and we state it without wishing to make any false claims or false promises. Free book tells more on the subject. SCOTT & BOWNE, Belleville, Ont.
