C-A-TT'Z'XOasr. I present a likeneoe of myself above for the purpose of protecting the public against fraud and humbug. For about fourteen years peddlers and tramps have been going over the country and representing themselves as being mo or my agent, and swindling the people out of their money, and causing many to nearly go b r ind by selling them cheap spectacles. 1 wish to eay that I never travel, neither do I have any agents, 1 have all that 1 can attend to at my <»3ico in Greencastle, and hereafter whenever one of the above described tramps or peddlers presents himself just refer to the above picture and you will see at a glance that it is not me. 1 wish further to warn you against buying spectacles of parties ns described above. They do not sell anything except cheap magnifying glasses made of window glass, and by using such glasses a short time all the muscles of the Eye become paralyzed, after which, if the vision is not destroyed entirely, it is so damaged that a person may about as well ho totally blind. Hundreds of such cases have come to me for glasses within twelve months, hut all I can do is to turn them away, as I cannot restore vision after a person is once blind. Now you might say that it would cost too much to get glasses of me. There is where you make a mistake. My prices are lower than you would have to pay tramps or peddlers as described above. Why? Because 1 lit un and sell so many spectacles that I can afford to sell at very low prices. For instance, I sell and tit to the Eyes without

cost, except for the spectacles: fcJteel Frame, Good Glasses $ .50 Bteel Frame, Extra Good Glasses $1.00 Bteel Frame, Fine Glasses $2,00 Silver Frame, Fine Glasses $2 00 Gold Frame, Fine Glasses $4.00 and alt other styles in proportion.

Now, after offering you all the inducements I have, can you not see that it would pay you to come to Greencastle, even if you have to travel forty miles, and need nothing more than a pair of spectacles. 24-4m k. SHIPLEY.

SC ME FACTS ABOUT EGGS. Ifatcliin^ Cliicl«*tut by tho Million lit Egypt for American Stomach*. The Egyptians are. however, far in advance of us iu tho science of raising chickens, nnd the incubating establishments of the country hatch imtcggs by tho million every year. At a hatch ing establishment near tho Pyramids the farmers trade fresh eggs for young chicks and the rate is two eggs per chick. Another artificial hatchery turns out 500,000 little chickens every season, and the oven crop of chiekcns in Egypt amounts, according to fig-_ ures furnished me by the consul general, to more than twenty millions of chickens a year. We have about two hundred million dollars worth of money invested in the fowl industry in the United States, an amount so large that all the money of Jay Gould could not equal it, and still we have to import more than sixteen million dozens of eggs every year. If America would adopt the Egyptian hatching system we could sell eggs instead of buying them, and our farmers might buy little chickens to raise at a price of twenty cents a dozen. More than twenty millions of little chickens are sold each year in this way in Egypt, and there is a regular business in chickens just old enough to walk. The incubutorics are rude, one story buildings, made of undried bricks, so arranged that tho eggs are laid upon cut straw in racks in rooms, around the ovens, which are kept fired on during tho hatching season. The outside walls are very thick and are built so that they retain the heat, and the only' thermometer used is the blood of the boy or man who attends to the fires. By long practice these men learn just how not tho ovens ought to be, and they replenish the tires ns the weather demands. A small amount of fuel is needed, and the temperature of the ovens is about that of D8 Uegs. above zero. The fire is built up for eight or ton days before the eggs are put in, to thoroughly warm the hut, and after this time it does not go out during tho season, which is from March until May. Tho eggs are turned four times a day while hatching. The whole outfit of an establishment which hatches over 200,000 chickens a year does not, I am told, cost more than $25, and one man runs the whole machine, keeping tho tires, buying and turning the eggs and selling the chickens. There are in this incubatory twelve compartments, each 70 feet long, 00 feet wide and 16 feet high, and each of these compartments will hold 7,500 eggs ut a time, or 90,000 eggs m ull. It produced last year more than 230,000 chickens and did tho work of more than 20,000 hens.—Cairo (Egypt) Letter.

Winded Forteiits. When the nest of the thrush or mavis is built unusually high in the thorn bush in Ireland this betokens a great calamity to a neighborhood, for some distressing disturbance is under way among the fairies, who in happy or friendly mood always see to it that these nests are built near then - haunts in tho grasses, that they may more readily enjoy the music of the thrush’s songs. The crops of sweet singing blackbirds are supposed to hold the souls of those in purgatory, especially those exposed to perditiouary tires, until the judgment day; and whenever tho blackbird’s notes are particularly shrill, these parched and burning souls arc imploring for rain, which never fails of coining in response to the bird cries for their relief. Tho Wicklow mouutaiusare notably the haunts of the ring ousel or mountain stare. Whenever, after singing his line, deep song, lie hesitates for a time, and then is heard to utter aloud, shrill and prolonged whistle, that night every human that has heard it will remain behind barred doors: for that i» a true fairy call, and the ’’wee folk of Wicklow” are sure to congregate in the moonlit hollows and “dance rings round their swate sel ves” until dawn.—New Y’ork Commercial Advertiser.

Tear* on Tombstone*. Tears on tombstones tell the same tale as the lachrymatories of the ancients; and if they tell it after a simpler,, rougher fashion, I cannot see that their mode of expression is a whit more absurd than tho one which classic association Ills taught us to regard with gravity. Throughout Normandy it is usual to find black tears painted on the white grave crosses, and white teal’s on black ones; for tears must surely be signified by the Prince Rupert drop shaped figures which are placed under, above or about so many memorial inscriptions. No niggard weeping is indicated thus, and not modern altogether is the symbolism. There are tear like figures in tho Bnyeux tapestry, on tho bed where the defunct confessor lies. I am much mistaken if I have not sometimes sfeen snots intended to represent tears on trial curious material crape which, both iu tiiis country and m France, seems to tie indispensable to tho outfit of u complete mourner. Some time ago I remember reading in a newspaper that in Fere la Chaise cemetery there is a monument in tho form of a tear. The monument was erected by a husband to his wife and bore the inscription. "Judge by that how I loved her." I unfortunately do not remember tiie name of the paper or the date. —Notes and Queries. A Doubtful Hate. Mr. Jig^s and Mr. Snagsby were discussing tho date of a local happening a number of years in tho past. “All I know is that it was the year my wife and I went down to Philadelphy to the centennial,” said Mr. Jiggs. ‘‘D't’s see, what year was that?” “I don’t seem to remember,” returned Mr. Snagsby. “It was pretty early in the seventies, wasn’t it?” “Yes, ’72 or ’73, I guess,” said Jiggs. Tho American eagle must have moulted a feather or two from his pride for these two citizens and voters round themselves unable to decide accurately just what year “tbo centennial fair came off in Philadelphy.”— Youth’s Companion.

THE JOLLY OLD MARINER.

A jolly old mariner sailing the sea. Was roaring a solo and thus thundered he. “Our ship is as bold as an eagle on wing, And she carries a cargo that’s fit for a king; A cargo that's welcome to peasant or pope. Our ship she is laden with IVORY SOAP. “ I’ve plowed all the oceans to every port, To visit all nations and climes is my sport; We carry our goods to the ends of the world, Our trade is announced on our banner unfurled; See! blazoned on pennant from top-mast and rope: * We bring to all people the Ivory Soap.’ “From Procter & Gamble, my lads, do you mind? We carry a blessing to gladden mankind; For dirt is a foe to the body and soul, And soap must precede e’en the gospel's control; Then hurrah! hip hurrah! for philanthropy’s hope, Hurrah for the advent of Ivory Soap. “ Its bars, like the truth, or a life-saving boat, Ever rise to the top nnd triumphantly float; As the foam on the wind-fretted billow ’tis light, As the elephant’s tusk it is glossy and white ; The poets all praise it in measure and trope, The ocean is thundering—IVORY SOAP.”

A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be " just as good as the 'Ivory'’,” they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for ‘‘Ivory” Soap and insist upon getting it. Copyright 1880, by Procter <fc Gamble.
