There la no question' about the every
day usefulness of a reather duster.
You can get along without one, but
better with. one. Saves stooping,
reaching and climbing, and will do
some kinds of dusting better than
anything else. '
The time was when the cost made
them luxurious. Our prices ought to
make them necessities." After using
one a while you would as soon think
of getting along without a broom as a
duster. Our stock of duBters was
bought close and we can atford to sell
them the same way.

The form of the eye is maintained
by means of stout membranes the
outer coat of the eye, and by the fluids
which fill the interior.' "
The front part of this outer coat Is
made Bmooth, and transparent and Is
called the cornea. This pan of the
eye Is shaped very much like a watch
glass; it Is Its smoothness and pol
ished surface which give to the eye
the brilliant luster so characteristic
of this organ.
The interior of the eye is lined
with a layer of black material the
choroid the object of which Is Just
the same as the object of the black
layer in' the photographer's camera or
In any other optical Instrument
that Is, to - absorb staggling ays of
light, so as not to blu the . image
formed by the rays coming directly
from the object
It Is owing to this black lining that
the pupil of the eye appear? black, no
matter what the color of the Iris may
be; for the pupil is merely an opening
through which we look directly Into
the back of the eye; and since this
back is made of black material which
reflects but little light, It is evident
that the pupil must appear to be black.
There are certain circumstances un
these circumstances occur when an
Individual happens to be standing fac
ing a bright light while the observer
stands between him and the light. .
Under such circumstances the pupil
wlll suddenly flash fire. This appear
ance Is more familiar In connection
with the lower animals; it Is frequent
ly observed that the eyes of a dog or
cat exhibit this brilliant red -color.
This redness Is simply, a reflection
from the retina, which lies upon the
black coat, the chorld, and has a bril
liant red color.
It has been several times stated
that pic'res are actually formed up-
In this vitreous humor. ;
These bodie sseem to the individual
to be outside of the eye, and consti
tute the "specks" before the eyes
which annoy some people extremely.

Are Curiously Fastidious
Some of Thoir Ways.
The habits of the Turkish women of
Constantinople are wonderfully fastidi
ous. For Instance, when they wash
their hands at a tip from which, water
runs into marble basin the fair ones
will let the water run until a servant
shuts It off, Inasmuch as to do this
on the retina, Just as they are formed themselves would render them "un

statement can be easily verifier by
removing an eye from a freshly killed
animal, a sheep or a bullock. If the
outer white coat be cut carefully at
the back of the eye, so as to leave the
inner coat Intact, and the eye then
be taken In a dark roof and the first
of Itthe cornea, turned toward a
window, a picture of the window,
sash and frame will be seen distinct
ly upon the bark part of the eye here
the outer coat Is cut away. This is
wihat happened in life every time
that we see an object, an image of
that object Is actually formed upon
the retina. The interior of the eye is
filled largely with liquids; one of
these, the so-called vitreous humor,
occupies most o fthe eye, and serves
to keep the coat of the eye properly
filled out. This Is a Jelly-like sub
stance, which is readily seen by cut
ting open the freshly extracted eye
of an animal.;
This vitreous humor. Is perfectly
transparent, and in the natural condi
tion of the eye offers no impediment
to the passage of light.
But sometimes In diseased condi
tions of the eye, minute bodies float
door, as the handle would be unclean.
One of these fastidious women was
not long ago talking to ft small niece
who had just received a present of a
doll from Paris. By and by the child
laid the doll la the lady's lap. She
was horrified and ordered the child to .
take it away. As the little girl would ,
not move it and no servant was near j
and the lady. would be denied by touch-'
Ing a doll that bad been brought from
abroad, the only resource left her was
to jump up and let the doll fall.. It
broke In pieces.
Another Turkish woman would not
open a letter coming by post, but re
quired a servant to break the seal and
hold the missive near ber that it might
be read; also should ber handkerchief
fall to the ground it was immediately
destroyed or given away, so that she
might not again use It Exchange.

During his stay in .Bristol he was

A large china cup with a handle was
shoved across the counter and a child's
voice said, "Ma wants a cupful of
sugar."
The grocer filled the cup, weighed
the sugar, poured it back into the cup
and said. "Two cents."
To a customer who expressed sur
prise at his, willingness to sell grocer

"Have to in this neighborhood. Most
