At this rate the balance of trade with Europe due this country for the present calendar year will be more than $4,300,000,000. i And Europe has no gold to send us; her securities are negligible or worthless; and we are not furnishine the necessary credit loans. Europe, nearing bankruptcy, faces a greater financial collapse thanany since the Thirty Years', war. 5 , Europe is our greatest foreign market, and' Europe how owes us nine billion dollars in war loans.

Many people have striking cr attraclire eyes, but very few have perfect sight. Faults of vision are usually do to .improper shape of the eyeball. LONG EYES That is, eyes which are too lonj from back to front; are the cause cf what is popularly known as "Short Sight," The eye is so long that the clear image doesn't reach the sensitive back of the eyebaH, called the retina. SHORT EYES ' Are exactly epposite to the above, and cause "Long Sight," the retina being too close to the front for distinct vision. FLAT EYES Is a simple description cf a very Intricate defect. It ar&es from the eyeball being rather flat in some part of its front surface, and the trouble is known as "Astigmatism," civic good sight only in parts of the eye. OLD EYES That is, over forty years of age, begin to suffer from harden ing of the lens which in youth is quite flexible. The result is some loss of power for adapting the sight to near work.
