We Examine Eyes Free, but we do
not promise impossibilities. We practice good work and abhor bombast. We have glasses for all kinds of weak and diseased eyes, but do not sell medicat¬ ed glasses. Do you believe there is such a thing as glasses charged with medicinal virtue? If you do, then your faith must be exceedingly great.
Our Prices vary according to quality of lenses and frames. Crystal lenses are co«tly and cannot be pur¬ chased at prices quoted by unscrupu¬ lous and unreliable dealers. We strive to merit business by continuing to serve the people at one place. Pau.se and reflect, and you will not be delud¬ ed by deceptive advertisements. Respectfully,

Few farmers know the eize of their fields or how many acres tbey contain. It is desirable, in fact indispensable for good work, that a farmer should know this, otherwise he cannot apportion seed or manure for it; nor can he tell bow mucb time it should take to plow, barrow or cultivate it. .K good cotton cord, tbe eize of a plow line, should be kept for this purpose. To make one, bny sixty- seven feet of cotton rope, fasten a ring at eacb end and make these rings precisely sixty-six feet apart. This is four rods. Tie a piece of red rag in the centre. One acre of ground wilt be a piece four of tbese cords long and two and one-half wide, equal to sixteen by ten rods, making six¬ teen square rods to an acre. The advan¬ tage of the rings is that one person can measure also by driving a stake iu the ground to hold the rope while he stretch¬ es it out. The rope ehould be soaked in tar and then dried. This will prevent it shrinking.

Poison In Moaldy Hay and Straw.
Secretary Edge, of the state agricultur¬ al department, says:
"A mouthful of mouldy straw will kill a horse in from two to eleven days, and 90 dangerous is the poison that they have been known to die from the effects of mouldy straw being placed near them, yet entirely beyond their reach. This will prove aa a warning to our farmers who bave hanled in tbeir wheat slightly green or damp, taking advantsg-i of the few clear days of harvest tune. Itwould likewise be dangerous to bed the animals with mouldy straw, as many of tbe horses will eat straw almost as readily as hay."
We pnblished this last week in the G.^ZETTK and since tben bave bad oppor¬ tunity to talk to some of our practical farmers concerning it. The general opin¬ ion is that there are many kinds of mould or fangi growths, aome of which are poisonous, while others are not.
Upon investigating the subject foroor- selyes amon)^ scientific books we ftnd that there exist many varieties of this growth. There is one caiied silk worm rot or mnscardine, which is very dan¬ gerous and destructive to silk worms. Fungi are Bometimes developed on the mucous membrane and in internal cav¬ ities of vertebrate animals, and on the bodies of vertebrate animals, as the common house fly, which in the end of autumn, when it becomes languid, often dies from this cause.
Although Secretary Edge may be cor¬ rect in particular, he certainly has made a mistake if he intends to make his de¬ claration general. Careful experiment would proye that tbere are many forms existing, and only a very few are aa deadly as he intimates by his declara¬ tion. All are poisonous, more or lese, but few are deadly.
It ia a well-known fact among our farmers bere in Pennaylvania that cowa will often eat with more relish mouldy corn fodder than any other. Yet they do not feel any evil effects from their rashness. Horses often eat mouldy hay and straw, and yet they survive. Now is that the reeult of a different kind of fungi, or is it the same in another atate of development, where the results of eating are not so deadly ?
Throughout tbe west and south of the Uuited States, where barns are few and not large enough to house tbe crops, the products hay and straw are often ricked nearby. Being exposed to the dampness of the atmosphere, tbe hay or straw, eapecially on the outside of the rick, he- comes mouldy, and yet the farmer feeds this to his cattle or beda them with it. In spite of thie, we never hear of such a speedy or wholesale destruction of cattle as Mr. Edge would have us believe re¬ sults. Mr. Edge may be right in hia statement, but it is not found true in ireneral by the practical experiment of farming.

Chestnut Hill Railroad company with the Shepp company, communication with Philadelphia via Sandy Hill, Hick¬ orytown, Barren Hill and Chestnut Hill will be restored by August ist. A mem¬ ber of the Shepp company said yester¬ day that all the terms had been agreed upon and would have been subscribed to by this time but for the absence of several officials whose signatures are necessary to seal the compact by which all legal obstacles in the way of running the cars will be removed.
"As hasbeen frequently stated during the progress of the controversy, the Messra. Shepp obtained from the super¬ visors of Plymouth township a franchise over the route occupied by the tracks of their rivals. For this franchise the Nor¬ ristown and Chestnut Hi!! company is to pay the Shepp company a stipulated cash sum, said in unofficial circles to be J2o,ooo or thereabouts. In addition, the company is to pay into the riyniouth township treasury ;^2,ooo for the right of way.
"The Norristown and Perkiomen Rail¬ way company, whose line is to connect with that of the Norristown and Chest¬ nut HiU company, has a franchise over the Germantown turnpike road from Hallowell avenue to the northwesterly township limit, for which it is to pay the township fl,5oo. This franchise will expire tomorrow. While the result of the controversy between the Shepps and the Chestnut Hill company was in doubt, the Norristown and Perkiomen company deemed it inexpedient to begin operations on its line, and before it can proceed will have to secure an extension of time from the riymouth authorities, It is understood the extension will be allowed, and as soon as the running of cars on the Chestnut Hill line becomes a certainty the Norristown and I'erkio¬ men company will make payment of the |i,5oo and, as soon as possible, begin the constniction of its road, which is to ex¬ tend to Reading."

WMENSE FORESTS THAT HAVE TURN¬ ED TO STONE.

An Insieht Into the Jllghty Operations ol Nature—One of the .Many Wonders of the Great Yellowstone National Park Fossil Forest Ridge.
The Yellowstono National park is tailed the woudorlaud of America, and since fhe destruction of tho New Zoa- laiid geyser area It is pprhaps entitled io be called tho wondorhmd of the world, for within it.s limits the most v.-u-ied of nature'.s workings may be ob¬ served. Its hundreds of hot (springs and geysers, its precipitous cuiyon.s and ruiih- iug cataracts, its .snoweappefl mountain pfaks and mirrored lakes iiKike it of 6urp.assing interest Tho lover of nat¬ ural scenery may linger long over ita beauties and its wonders.
From tho geological p<jint of view it is also ol great interest, for here m.iy bo found rocks that range in ago from the mo,st aucieut of which wo have any knowledge to tlio.so iu proce.ss of forma¬ tion at the pre.sent moment. The su¬ perheated waters of thu hot springs and geysers hold a largo amonnt of rock- making material in .solution, which is deposited about the openings of the pprings ou the cooling of the waters, and lu this way building up a niaiia of great magnitude. The.so spriiig.s and geysers are constimtly breaking out in new places, often on the borders or in the forests of living trees. Tho ^reed are killed at once by 10 hot water, and on becoming withoreil and dry begin soon to tako np tho rix-knuikiiig .solntion by which they are bathed, aud thus to pass into the fos.sil state.
Conditions similar to these, or at least favorable to the preservatirin of fcjssil forests, appear to havo existed from a remote time, for thero i.s evidence to show that the fossil forests wero pre¬ served beforo the most active of tho hot spriug phenomena were iuangtrrateiL These fos.sil forests are located iu the northea(>teni comer of the Yellowstone Natioual park, at a place knowu locally as Amethyst mountain, or Fot^sil Forest ridge. This is really a mountain some ten miles long and ri.siug neahy or quite 2,000 foet ab<ive the general level of tho valley. If it were p<..ssiblo to cnt a sec¬ tion down through this mountain, as a slice is cnt from a loaf of bread, there wonld be found a sncce.ssion of at leitit lb fossil forests, one alwvo ancither— that is to say, at some remote day, geo¬ logically speaking, thero grew a great forest, whicii vvas covered up by the ejected material from a great volcano, rivaling in sir.e Mount Etna, that is known to have existed somo miles to the north. Tho trees were entombed in an upright pasition, aud under tho ac¬ tion of silica charged waters were fcjswil- izetl. The action of the volciuio ceiLsed, ail'' quiet was restored for a suflicient lei.^rh of timo for a second forest to be developed alxive th'i first. Then came a second outburst from tho volcimo, and this forest was buried nud fossilized liko the first, ;md so, iu turn, havo tho dozen or more forests flomished and lieen en¬ gulfed.
Then camo tho final quiet, the ram¬ bling of tho volcano ceasetl, and its fires were extinguished. But immediately the action of the elements began, and the weiring forces of rain and frast, act¬ ing throngh long ages, h.ive carved ont this mountain, iu tho heart of which may be read the story of it« origin. This denudation appears to have been unac¬ companied by auy of the violent move¬ ments so often characteristic of mountain bnilding, and coasetineutly  wheu  the

The first forest to be visited is in the vicinity of Yancey's, a stage station ou tho mail route from the Mammoth Hot Springs to Cooke City, Mon. It is alKJut a mile west of the jnnctiou of the Lamar river aud tho Yellowstone, and on the middle slo{>e of a low hilL As one approaches the Im-ality, several trunks are observed standing ou the hill¬ side, which at a distance seem quite like the stumps of living trees, nnd even a nearer approach barely suffices to reveal their true nature, a.s they aro covered with lichens and blackened und di.scol- ored by frost aud raiu. They are. how¬ ever, veritable fossil trunks, standing upright ou the stoep hillside, iu tho same positions in which they grew. The largest trunk is 13 "-i feet in circumfer¬ ence and about 1 b feet iu height. It is considerably weathered and must have been much l;u:ger when living, for the bark is iu no place preserved. Tlie oth¬ ers—and there are dozens of them—ar(> slightly smaller, and have beeu weath¬ ered down uutil, in most cases, only a few inches can lie seeu above the sur¬ face. So perfectly are they preserved that each Rtunip shows tho annnal rings as distinctly visible .is in a freshly cut living tree, and even each tiny cell, with its fiue aud delicate markings, is abso¬ lutely perfect.
The ne.xt forest is some 10 or 12 miles distanf, along the Lamar river, ou tlio south sideof which faces tho Fossil For¬ est ridge. In some places perxx'ndicul.ir cliffs many feet iu height may be seen. These cliffs ly.we woni away, leaving ex¬ posed huge trees, which may bti obiierved from a distance of a mile or moro from the valley, standing out in bold relief, as it has been aptly said, "like the pil¬ lars of .some ancient temple. " A closer view shows these trees to be from 4 to 6 feet in di.imeter, and often 20 or .SO feet high, vvith their great root^ run¬ ning off into the solid rock. A great niche in the faco of the wall marks the place from which one ot thes« trunks has fallen. Some of tho remaining ones appt^ir jnst i(>ady to fall, while others project but little beyond the face—show¬ ing that the inouiitaiii is filled with the remains of these trees.—Epoch.

Views of • Celebrated AiditomUt—Tte I^ portance of WoaricK the Bixht Kind at Shoes—Sometiiioc Alrant Corns and How to Treat Them.
Very few seem to realize the Impor¬ tance of giring tho feet proper attoation in order to BK*nre better health as well aa general comfort It is ahuoet Inoon- ceivable that in om: civilized nation in tho modem ago there are still so maoiy otherwise sensible women who are will¬ ing to maim and cripplo thoir feet wd suffer tortures for the sake of wearing sh(!es jnst a little too small, or which are, as they imugino falsely, pr«tty or moro fashionable. Wo seo the folly of the cramping process up<jn the feet Gt the Chinese women, bnt how mnch mors inexcusable it is for wameD of this en- lighteneil country.
In former times it has been tho fash¬ ion for shoes to be mado with high hcoLs, narrow, poiuted toes and all sort.s of extravagant shapes contrary to easo aud comfort, aud us too many people havo felt it incumbent upon them to bow to tho demands ol tho tyrant fash¬ ion, no matter how unreasonable her demands, the result '•¦a.s been for buo- ceeding generations mitold suffering in tho form ct corns, bunions and other deformities, until now it is comparative¬ ly rare to see, except among savage na¬ tions, a perfect, well s-haped loot But a moro sensible fa.shiou allows the wear¬ ing of variou-s styles of sensible shoes that are adapted to th© eas«< and com¬ fort of the wearer, with thick Bole«<, wide, low hwls and plenty ol room for froo e.vi)ansi(jn cf the toes and mnsclee, aud the nnmerons corns, which are not only exceedingly paJufnl, but often seri¬ ous affair^ nro gradually disappearing from the fc-et of the sensible ones and tho ideal foot is no longer the ocunped and tortured foot.
The celebrated anatomist, Professw Hrrti of Vienna university, opened one of his lectures to his class with tho sln- gulur question,'' Which is the moet bean¬ tiful foot, considered from the anatom¬ ical standpoint?" and then eontinned: "If. is remarkable that there are so many divergent opinions on this tnbject. Whilo tho sons of men look npon a small, slender and graceful foot, a lady's fcKit, a.s an ideal one, tho anatomist ut¬ terly rejects it an beautiful, and only tho largo, long and brosid foot is the ideal eme in his eyes. Even th» greatest cliissic writers of anti^nity, Horace, C»- tallns, aud others, wlio had gwat appre¬ ciation of the feminine beauty, never '.leutioned in tho descriptions of their beloved—and, a^ i.^ well known, they had many—their small feet.
"The people belonging to fjje Cfehio race havo small feet; the Hindoos ea¬ pecially have such feet and hands that they may bo envied by many European conutesises. Tho native troops of the English army in India possess In Eng¬ land their owu armory where peculiar kinds of weapons are constructed for them, and tho sword hilts made for thera aro much too small for ns to grasp with ea.ie Tho greatest b«auties of Ea¬ rope, tho Italians, have really long and broad feet"
Dut even if we do not care to be con¬ vinced that tho ideal foot is the foot that is long aud bro.id, we can certainly realize tii« importance of care In select¬ ing shoes of the proper size for comfort as well its beauty. The foot never looks pretty in a sh(je too small for it, and Buch shoes soon become uu-shapely from pret?f lijr^ii?.^!:;, R^^*"8 anythinn bu* i^
On the other hand, we ehonld not fall into the error of buying shoes too large. These aro qiiite as apt to cause corns as small ones by rubbing certain parts of the foot If any one has the misforttme to fall into this mistake, it can be reme¬ died to a great extent by inserting a soft wad of cotton batting in tho toe of the shoo or iu tho part fhat mbs against the fo<.)t.
The same c;iro is necessary in buying shoes as in buying gloves. They will la.st much longer and have a better ap- pt-iwrnieo wlieu made of uew, good skips. Old leather or kid is not soft and elastic and dix^s not easily shape itself to the foot or the hand. This is not coily a matter of comfort, bnt ol economy. In this, as iu mauy other things, "tho best ia tho cheapest," and as few women, or men either, for that matter, are good judges of leariier it will be wise to buy ouly of honest, experienced dealers, in whom wo cau confide, for we cannot afford risks iu a matter where so muoh is involved. Au uncomforteblc sho* is really a very serious -matter when we tako into cousideratiou the pain aud diiicoiafort, tho probable deformities in tho way of coins aud bim ions, the wea* on tho nervoas .system and tho unpleas¬ ant consequences of our irritable tem¬ pers b««cau.se of jiersoual discomfort.
It scarcely seems necessary to speak of the importance of fre<iuent bathing of tho feet and paring of fhe nails, and yet nuuiy are surprisingly careless iu this respect Corns are simply composed qf a great nuniln'r of layers ol cuticle, or scarf skin, one above another, each sucressivo layer being larger than the preceding, so that the whole assumes the form <.if a grain of Indian com; hence its name. This is constantly jaresa- ing its point upon the tender flesh when the shoe presses or rubs against it, and as this cnticlw is easily dissolved to a great extfrut by tho warm water and soap we ran ^e that bathhig is tho most ready and harm less remetly as well as preventive. —Exchange.
