DO NOT BE NEGLIGENT TO TiE CLAIMS OF YOUR
EYES FOR PROPER GLASS
I
By Walter Irwin M O
Many people who really need glasses
have an aversion to wearing them
and postpone the day as long as pos
sible This is a deplorable mistake
But it seems that a great many do not
feel that their eyes need attention as
well as the other organs of the body
and for this reason do not heed their
claims for assistance and protection
Delay in this connection often means
serious consequences if not blind
ness It was never intended that the
organ of sight should be subjected to
a constant strain In order to see It
is too often the case that where one
has persisted in neglecting the eyes
he or she is at last called upon to
consult an optician and in many cases
is obliged to begin with a much
stronger glass than would have been
necessary had the time been taken to
have the eyes properly fitted in the
first place You will hear It said on
every hand I havent time now
but I must se what Is the matter
with my eyes I suppose I need
glasses but then well they may get
better and I will wait and see If
such an one could only foresee the
evil that such a delay would bring
forth how eagerly would he or she
search for the proper glasses which are
needed without waiting to see what
time would do for the eyes It is vast
ly important that the eyes are prop
erly fitted in time as well as with
lenses that are particularly suited to
their needs
Many people are indifferent to these
important facts and select their glass
es at random even buying them from
the cheap ready made stock until
they suddenly awaken to the fact that
they have rendered their sight an in
estimable wrong and then even the
best that science can now produce
will not restore to them the
tion of sight that could easily have
been retained had proper care been
taken at the right time in the selec
tion of glasses
Kryptok Invisible A Perfect and
Proper Lens
Kryptok invisible bifocals are the
proper lenses because they will an
swer your every purpose in the pre
serving and protection of sight They
are not an experiment but an unqual
ified success Jt has taken years of
scientific -experiment to produce thi3
wonderful lens To those who wear
glasses for seeing at distance and re
quire an additional pair for reading
or close work the perfecting of a lens
that will answer both purposes in a
single lens means an inestimable re
lief from the annoyance of changing
from one pair to another or worrying
with the old style bifocal which is
not only disfiguring but injurious to
the sight

Canals and Honda In France
It- is curious that the French who
have done more than most nations to
cultivate the graces of life should be
the people to boast the most perfect
system of canals and roads In the
world more curious still that when
most practical they are still careful
not to sacrifice the purely graceful or
decorative The roads and canals are
built for use but between their serried
ranks of poplars they become so many
stately groves and avenues crossing
the country from end toend Century

SHAVE WITH HOT STEEL
An Old Cutlera Avlce to Men Who
Use a Razor
Whenever I hone a razor said an
old English cutler I always give some
advice with it free gratis and I take
great satisfaction in knowing that I
have made shaving easier and more
comfortable for more than 10000 men
Almost every barber will tell you how to
strop a razor but it takes a cutler to
tell you how to care for your strop and
how to get the best work out of your
blade
A swing strop canvass on one side
and horse hide on the other is the best
Always hold it taut and draw the razor
lightly but swiftly from heel to point
If you let the strop sag you will put
a round edge on your blade Dont for
get to cover your strop or put it away
in a drawer after using If it hangs
in a bathroom near a window the dust
and grime get into it and soon take
the edge from your razor Whether
you keep the strop covered or whether
you dont rub your open hand over the
two surfaces to free It from dust
But what I consider my most valua
ble advice Is how to do away with
shaving paper entirely and at the same
time improve the cutting quality of the
razors edge Nine men out of ten
shave themselves In a room where
there is running hot water Now the
way to get a most gratifying result is
this Lather thickly and well and let it
remain on the face half a minute be
fore you begin to shave If you have
time wash it off for with It will come
the grit and dirt that you have loosen
ed up in the pores of the skin and then
apply a second coat It will be as soft
smooth and clean as new velvet
Now turn on the hot water faucet
and let it run Hold the razor under
the stream until it is heated Then
take a slanting or diagonal stroke like
a farmer does with a scythe not a
square pull and you will be amazed to
find how beautifully and easily the hot
blade cuts the beard
When it is filled with lather hold it
under the running hot water instead of
using shaving paper This will wash
off the lather and at the same time
heat the blade again Dont be afraid
of taking out the temper That would
be impossible if you put the razor in a
kettle and boiled It Try the hot blade
and youll never shave with the cold
steel again New York World
POISONS IN TOBACCO
Tobacco destroys the taste smell and
digestion
Tobacco kills mental moral and
physical vigor
Tobacco paralyzes the mucous mem
branes and glands
Tobaccos most dangerous poison
nicotine is without antidote
Tobacco contains prussic acid am
monia carbonic oxide and nicotine
Tobacco contains stronger poisons
than opium alcohol absinth or chloral
A single leaf of tobacco or a single
cigar contains enough of this poison to
kill a man if applied properly
Nicotine is the most deadly poison
known to the pharmacopoea A single
drop or a grain will kill a large animal
Nicotine resembles prussic acid in ap
pearance effects and activity Nico

No Answer Handy
This is only worth the telling writes
a correspondent because it contains a
retort which though a triumph of in
consequence seems to me quite unan
swerable I happened to be reading
some obvious newspaper proofs In a
train when the good natured man next
to me with the intention no doubt of
making himself agreeable asked Ah
are you connected with the press I
intimated briefly and perhaps not over
courteously that it was none of his
business He persisted that it was a
quite civil inquiry which I met with
the remark that I had not asked him
whether he was a clerk or a shop as
sistant As he was obviously neither
this nettled him If I knew he said
what newspaper you belong to I
would never buy it again London

Buffalo Calves
Buffalo calves as a rule are born
in April and May They are active
vigorous little creatures mild eyed as
domestic calves but possessing much
greater strength and endurance In a
few seconds after birth they can cet

they are fit to fight for their lives
Usually it Is unnecessary for them to
defend themselves at this tender age
as a buffalo cow is quite capable of at
tending to any business which may
arise in connection with the defense of
her precious baby Washington Star

The flights that M Santos Dumont

been completely eclipsed by those of
the young American navigator of the

while he was perambulating in the air
In the vicinity of the national capltol
recently Beachey started from an
amusement resort about four miles
from the Washington monument and

LEGEND OF THE GARTER
Contradictory Versions of the Foun
dation of the Order
I knew as every schoolboy knows
the legend that a certain Countess of
Salisbury dropped her garter at a ball
and that the king picking it up amid
the smiles of courtiers handed It to her
with the happy and now Immortal
phrase HonI solt qui mal y peuse
But this legend I recalled bad had to
go the way of the story of King Al
fred and the cakes the story of Wil
liam Tell and the apple and many an
other pretty fairy tale of history At
last I went to Sir Nicholas Hurris Nico
las History of the Orders of Knight
hood where I found a delightful mass
of contradictory authprlty produced
The tale of the ensign and name of
the order were first told by Polydore
Vergil 1470 1555 who wrote In the
time of Henry VII and Henry VIII
and who said that the lady was the
queen or the kings mistress Segar
whose work Honor Military and
Civil appeared In 1G02 250 years aft
er the order was founded was the first
to say that It was the Countess of Sal
isbury Other writers say that It was
the Couutess of Kent John Anstls
1GG9 1744 garter king of arms who
published several heraldic works ridi
cules the whole story He confesses
that an author of Henry VIs time
who wrote in Latin and whose work is
now entirely lost upheld It
Raphael Hollnshed a chronicler who
died in 15S0 tells the story in detail
and says the lady was the queen which
surely rather spoils the significance of
the legend Sir Harris Nicolas him
self thinks the story is not Improbable
although he urges the fact that Jean
Frolssart who Is the best contempo
rary authority on the reign of Edward
III while he has much to say about
the order in his hundredth chapter
does not refer to it and Nicholas ad
mits that this tells very much against
the supposed origin of the story but
Frolssart may have thought the matter
too trivial to relate By the way I feel
very much aggrieved that G C Macau
lay In the abridged volume of Frolssart
that he published through the Macmil
lans should have ruthlessly cut this
hundredth chapter
It is not I may add claimed that the
Incident caused the foundation of the
Order of the Garter but only that It
gave Edward III the idea for naming
the order which he had resolved to
found in any case In the absence of
any other solution than that which
rests on these shadowy foundations I
think we may still go on accepting the
pretty legend but I repeat my expres
sion of dissatisfaction with the popular
histories that they should leave such
matters as this severely alone Lon

One of the Wonders of Physics
An experienced mechanic who was
asked what he regarded as the most
wonderful thing for general utility re
plied The tracking of a car wheel Is
the most wonderful thing to me In the
whole range of science and invention
Here are two rails uphill and down
hill round the sharp curves and along
false tangents and upon them fly at
more than a mile a minute without jar
or jostle a dozen heavy cars drawn by
an engine weighing sixty tons Passen
gers realize no danger yet there Is
only the little flange of a wheel be
tween them and eternity An inch and
a half of steel turned up on the Inner
side of the wheel holds up the whole
train as securely to the rails as if it
were bolted there in grooves
Hide Your Fruit Trees
As lawn specimens fruit trees are
nearly always disappointing They
have more insect enemies and fungous
diseases than first class ornamental
trees and shrubs If you spray them
they are unsightly If you do not your
lawn is covered with wormy fruits
which look bad and smell worse The
peach is a short lived delicate tree
which Is particularly subject to San
Jose scale Plums and cherries are
sure to yield wormy -fruit unless you
jar the curculios out of them long be
fore breakfast or unless you let the
chickens run beneath the trees Both
are violent suppositions for a home
