Imperfect Kyes uud Kyeglasaes. A rising young oculist says: ''The oft repented satire on Boston of the infant horn with spectacles is ono of those i':i!-es where tho author builded better iluui lie know. As a matter of fact, it begins to look as if everybody will have to wear glasses at no very distant period. Out of a thousand eyes that an oculist might examine, it would bo (litllcult to tlnd ten absolutely perfect eyes, or eyes that wouldn't be bettor ablo to seo with than without glasses. It may be safely said that the avorago man's eyes uro imperfect, slightly im perfect only In tho majority of cases, to he sure, but imperfect nevertheless. I have seen a good many oyes profession ally, and tlioro aro fow indeed that I remember to liavo been in perfect con dition. "Tho disease called astigmatism par ticularly is astonishingly prevalent. Hardly anybody is freo from it alto gether. It is a diseaso that consists mainly of a difference in tho refractivo powers of tho different meridians of tho winie eye, and opticians will tell you that glasses can bo easily adjusted to tho diseased eye, but they can't. I have never heard of any glass that will do more than assist an eyo to perform tho work that tho healthy oyo ought to do. Glasseu relievo, and that is about all." Boston Cor. St. Louis Globo-Deinocrat. A Sharp Trick. A fanner at Yardley has been taught a now (rick, but not without paying for it. Ho agreed to pay a man twen-ty-Qvo cents each for ridding his farm of muskrats. Pour rata wero "caught" first night, and tho farmer gladly paid tho dollar. Tho second night tho samo number was captured, and so on tho third and forth nights, until dually the soil tiller, becoming suspicious, inado an investigation. He found ho had been paying for tho samo four rats all the time, and lie thinks that these, in stead of being caught on tho property, wero brought along by the sharper. Philadelphia Ledger. The lllblo on Theater Going, Ex-Chief Justico Drake, of tho court of claims, was ouce addressing a moot ing of tho Washington city presbytery against theater going, and, being asked whero the Biblo condemned it, answer ed that of coureo theaters wero not mentioned In the Biblo. This remark brought up tho Itov. Dr. Sunderland, of tho First church, like a shot, but in his suavost manner, with, "I bog tho Judge's pardon, hut wo read In tho book of Acts of tho Apostles that St Paul went (o tho theater at Ephesus." The Judge was floored. Washington Post. The laughing plant of Arabia pro duces black, bean llko seeds, small doses of which, when dried and pow dered, Intoxicate liko laughing gas. Tho victim dances, shouts and laughs liko a madman for about on hour, when ho becomes exhausted and fulls asleep, to awaken after several hours with no recollection of his wild antics. As a rulo dentists makoagood living, aud during ono year tho colleges in Philadelphia turned out 300 rraduates. Tho most successful practitioners are said to make from 20,000 to 25,000 a year; but this is doubtful. Tho vegetable ivory plant of South America Is a well known commercial article. Its seeds at first contain a clear, insipid liquid, which changes by degrees until it becomes as hard as ivory, for which it is used as a substi tute. The lifo Insurance companies of tho United States pay out moro than $1, 00,000 a year to physicians for medical examinations. Threo companies pay mora than $220,000 each per annum. It is calculated that during'ja Lon don hcason tho average amount of money spent dally in flowers Is $25,000, most of which goes to foreign flower growers. 8UOGKSTi:i ROMMKNT. The mountain has labored and brought forth nothing. Oregon wants state board that govern as boards aud not u9 individuals. There Is ono D. D. degree Wlllani ctteatSulem cannot confer dealers lu dirt. No. 3 Fruits and Flowers vlth threo colored plates Is an excellent number. Sioux City has copied the Oregon Idea aud will this year put up acorn and fruit palace. Nothing hut ruin of tho immense corn crop by frost in Iowa cau help tho Democratic party there. Tho MoKlnley bill is uot to blame for wormy apples In Oregon, nor for tho scarcity of them this year. Wo do uot object to n good big poor furm if wo can be assured of a good wagon mad over the hill to It. Tho editor of tho Dally Bludc, Baker City, Is a physician who is frequently called fifty miles to see patients. Willamette at Salem solemnly ussures the public thaj. It will confer no degrees on moro graduates In real estate. If good wagon roads bring rail roads, the county court at lis present session can do no hotter thun give us the former. u Marn Fiuest granulated sugar at our grocery stores Is 01 cents by 100 lbs. sack. The McKlnloy bill has not made sugar any dearer. Mr. Boothby's plun If It was his plan ufter all hits left Salem with tho same streets she had before, so there is no harm douo. Tho Amerlcuu hog has gained a great victory, but hi Is not likely to exult over It nny more than tho tur key does over his Thanksgiving popularity. If Salem would select tho next congressman from Oregon, perhaps Salem could get a postofllco build ing. But then Salem would huve to elect two senators too. Oregon City Express: Tho Oregon railroad commission have performed a really valuable service to tho peo ple and should bo upheld In It luhors.

Tho Scuttle Telegraph thinks the exercises of tho Turn Be.lrk uro in tho lino of healthful athletics, with out tho degrading feu lures of prize fighting and soma other "sports." It Is not understood to be tho pur pose of the Alllmieo in Oregon so much to it mn life a third purty as to manage to elect people's men aud pass people's measures. Now furmers, contribute your burihel or wagon loud of apples to the fruit palace. Drivo right In any day until It Is finished and leave them by tho utructuro near tho big pavilion.

T'icoma Glebe: Tho present day prlzo lighter Is bad enough In the ring, but whou It comes to epistol ary and newspaper contests he gonerally proves nloug-wlnded bore. The public Is pretty tired of the sparring of Mitchell, Sulltvau and others at lengraugo, with an evident aim of galulng notoriety without danger. Tho Dalles Chrenicle: The veloo lty of tho wind during part of the tlmo when tho flro was raging may be gathered from the fact that the children of Mlko Doyle, who lives sevou miles from Tho Dalles, picked up, last Wednesday afteruoou, pieces of half burned printed paper which tho wind hud carried there from TboDulh-B. Wallowa Chleftulu: Cheap sugar Is credited In tho East us meaning purer and better canned fruit and more of It for tho great mass of American people, at tho sumo tlmo giving to tho fruit growers a larger market than they could otherwise have hoped to find. It Is probable that uo measure of the lust congress had siion a widespread effect as the new tariff. HONGV IN TI1K OOUNTKY. Tho treasury statement of money lu circulation, August 1, shows.
