GUARD IT
The Eye Sliooll Recei?e
E?try Consideration
The eye is the most sensitive orgsn
in the human anatomy, and sight ti e
nost useful of the senses. To neglect
the eye is to endure pain and misery
nnd to court impaired vision and eTen
total blindness. The north winds, fill
ed with particles of drifting snow and
ice, and the reflections from sun-kissed
mountaies and wind-swept snow fields,
make a northern sinter a time when
every precaution should be taken to
guard the eye. Shou'd nature,
through pain or otherwise, warn you
of approaching danger, by all means
heed the warning. We test the eye
free of charge and furnish glasses,
ground to the point of perfection, to fit
the need disclosed by science. C ur
prices are reasonable.
Our stock of watches, clocks, glass
ware, silverware, souvenirs, novelties

A Wonderful Compound. Cure*

Skin Ernpt ions. Cuts and

Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and tlie cheapest, because so
little is require to cure. it cures piles
after years of to-ture. II cures obsti
nate c*ses of eczema. It cures all skin
itching. It cures skin eruptions. It
heals cu's, bruises, scratches and abra
sions without leaving a scar. It cu:es
permanently.
M. Sullivan, employed in the street
department of the city, who resides on
Water street, at 735, Portland, Ore.,
says: "Doan's Ointment is without any
exception the best preparation on earth
for the purposes for which its use is in
dicated and Irom my own experience I
know that it does all that is claimed for
it. For two years I was troubled with
the worst kind of itching ?nd bleeding
hemorrhoids. I tried one remedy after
another acd even sent east for a well
medicine, and w as treated by phsicians
but I got no relief until I learned about
Doan's Ointment. I procured a box
and the first appl'cation gave me relief
such as I not experienced for two years.
I continued ttie trea ment for three
weeks, when I was completely cured,
and since then I have been free from
tbe tormenting affliction. Whenever I
hear anyone cotnp'ain of being annoyed
wi h piles I never fail to tell them what
to do to get cured. I would willingly give
$20 for a box rahter than to suffer one
night like I did before I used Doan's
Ointment."

ANIMALS AND TOBACCO.
A Dor Thnt Smoked and a Parrot
That Chewed the Weed.
.Most animals have an utter abhor
rence of tobacco in any shape or form,
says the proprietor of a menagerie. I
have myself made even a really fero
cious dog turn tall simply by puffing
suioke lu Its face, but I do not recom
mend the means as one to be always
relied on.
But to this rule, as to all others,
there are exceptions, and numerous In
stances are known of animals possess
ing a positive love for the fragrant
weed. Dogs, it is well known, can be
taught to do alm6st everything but
talk, and in my early days 1 was con
nected with a circus which possessed
the unique attraction of a terrier which
among other nicks had been instructed
in the art of smoking a clay pipe. The
curious point was that the animal ac
tually got to enjoy Its pipe and would
Insist on having it at the usual time
every Sunday, as In the performance
on week days.
The parrot is perhaps of all birds the
most apt to take up bad habits. A
friend of mine has one which is pas
sionately fond of eating and chewing
tobacco. If given a sufficient quantity
the bird will make Itself positively
drunk with the nicotine and will stag
ger about its cage In exact Imitation of
the actions of an intoxicated human
being. Long practice has made the
bird something of a connoisseur re
specting Its favorite luxury, and It now
t treats fine cut tobaccos with contempt.
Its particular delight is the plug af
fected by sailors.
It is among the simian tribes that to
bacco loving quadrupeds are most fre
quent. This Is probably owing to the
monkey's overpowering faculty for im
itation, which sometimes gets it into
trouble. I remember an amusing In
stance. A man after puffing at a ciga
rette for a time threw It down near a
monkey which had been watching the ]
proceedings intently. The animal j
snatched It up and puffed gravely for a j
few minutes. Then a look of intense i
bewilderment stole over its face, and, ;
throwing the cigarette down. It retired .
into a corner, evidently very ill.
A gentleman in the north of England
lias a monkey which Is addicted to
-miff. The animal has been taught to
;ake a pinch from the box of a visitor
with all the courtly air so prevalent In
Clie d.'.ys when snuff taking was the
i'asblon.? Loudon Tit-Bits.

There was a (food attendance at the

topic was handled in an entertaining
manner.
