WE BEG TO ANNOUNCE

that we can now manufacture on our premises the new Kryptok invisible bifocal Lens.

The old style of cement bifocals with their disfiguring and annoying dividing line has been supplanted by a new leas with two fool, the upper portion of the glass for distance and the lower for reading, ground from one single piece of glass. ̧.·

You who wear two pairs of glasses may now use one pair instead. No one can tell that you wear bifocals. No cement to blister; no thin segments to lose off.

Call and inspect this line. We grind Kryptoks in regular or torio form.

The Supernatural Fad. It seems to us that officialdom is exceeding its legitimate functiona when it endeavours to interfere with private activities which are in no way subversive of law and ordor, while if it has sat itself the task of putting a stop to every“ thing that savours of humbug, it is undertaking the impossible. Thoro is humbug and humbug, and for that matter, 68 the immortal Barnum once said, the public lil es to be humbugged. The idea that widespread injury either to the morals or the health of the people results from the popularity of the professional myalio is undoubtedly, grossly nwarranted. The odds aro that more evil is done in a lay by emotional revivalists and hypnotiste thaa in a year by fortune-tellers. If the touchstone be sincerity, then again it is a' case of six of one and half a dozen of the other, for unquestionably many professional fortune-tellers are absolutely sincere and as con- vinced of the bona fide ohara otar. and utility of their calling as the

It is the merchant, the finenci'r and the banker who are to-day the real rulers in all civilized countries.

Nor is the Yangize the only river that is a source of danger and distress to the country on arcount of its recurrent floode;" the periodic outbreaks of the Hoang-ho have become prover- bial, and if, as is prophesied in some quarters, its next bursting, forth is to be along the line of the Grand Canal and embouching directly on Tientain, the problem in one that ought to be faced instantly and at all costs. Millions must have been spent already id vain attempts to keep the stream within its appointed bounds or perhaps it would be more correct to say that millions have been allotted for that purpose. The mistake made throughout has been in not making the work a national undertaking. So long as it is a provincial or even local undertaking, each official is afraid that, even if he himself does his ahare of the work thoroughly, his neighbours may neglect theirs and so bring all his efforts and labours to nought; and such a stato of affairs is scarcely likely to serve as an incentive. to honest work, especi when the man who does his sbare bonestly knows that his colleagues are making a large proft by neglecting, theirs.
