CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT.
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that It requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need and
to fit them properly with glasses. Those who
trust this work to uninstructed dealers are
criintuady careless of the most valuable of all
the senses, their sight. In addition to gradu
ating in Germany and my thirty years’ practical
experience I have taken a course and gradu
nted in a school of optics In New York and
learned the latest and eat methods of ascer
taining the different defects of the eyes and
their pro[ier correction, so tnat I can fit you
properly with glasses that will strengthen and
Improve your eyesight instead of rapidly ruin
ing It, as poorly fitted glasses will always do.
No charge for examination.

On March 19, 1804, John,
Duke of Roxburghe, died in
London.
He spent forty years collect
ng rare books of extraordinary
/alue. When sold at auction in
[Bl2, one volume, “Boccacio’s
Decameron” printed at Venice
in 1475, brought £2,200 or
nearly $10,650. Since his time,
many distinguished Americans
have made vast collections of
books, documents, and manu
scripts of priceless historical and
literary value.
We are inviting attention to
our collection of School Shoes
for Boys. These goods are
made of stout calf skins that
will withstand the heavy wear
