A Handy Workman.

Mr.. I. A. Heald, machinlst, 5l4 Commercial
street, San Francisco, is an artizan Of the
right stamp-a man OF "good mette" and
"true ring" His work is ditto. We have
known him for many years, and can recon-
mend him fully The Washington City Chron-
iclc describes Mr.. Healds former shop in that
city in the following happy manner: "We
were truly amazed at the skill being there
displayed. Models Of the most intricate char
acter, machines composed Of many parts, and
Of various kinds Of metal and wood-all,
when set In motion, working smoothly and
in perfect order. Every manner Of tools are
kept on hand with which to perform this diff
ficult work. Models for patents and general
machine jobbing are all executed, either in
wood or metal, at short notice. Sewing ma
chimes, printing presses, musical instru.
ments, and, In fact anything composed OF
wood or metal, will be neatly and promptly
executed under the Immediate supervision
of Mr. Heald himself, he having had large
experience at the Washington navy yard, and
in other cities. Mr.. Heald is also an accom-.
pllshed musician, being leader of the Ameri-
can brass band.-Scientifc Press.

Eyes to Order.
Between 5000 and 10, 900 ewes are so

Between 5000 and 10000 eyes are sold
annually in the United States. An eye
maker gives one in 1875 as the proportion
of one-eyed people. Computing the
population of the country at 100000
this rate gives $4,000 as the number Of
persons with only one eye in the republic
Consequently while 10000 people supply
their optical deficiency with an artificial
eye, 100000 90 without. In proportion
, to the population, the eye maker said,
there are more one-eyed people in Pater-
son, N. j., than any other town in this or
any other country. All towns that have
many foundries and factories, and whose
air is impregnated with SCOT and smoke,
count their one.eyed inhabitants by the
score, but Paterson is ahead of the rest,
The eye maker knew of the three propri-
etors of single foundry there, each los
ing an eye. Pittsburg comes next, In
this city one.eyed folks abound in the
neighborhood Of manufacturing estab.
lishments. Once he had four patients
from near foundry in West Eleventh
street alone. Not only the foul atmos
phere destroys the sight, but flying pieces
Of metal burn out the eyes of the work
men. An importer, who sells 1900 eyes
annually, sends one-third tc Canada;
Chicago takes 800 and Cincinnati more
than st. Louis. New Orleans, Nashville,
and other towns West and South buy the
remainder. The color for eyes most in
demand is what is known as "Irish blue"
peculiarly light azure that predominates
in Ireland. The average cost of an eye
is $40. He sells comparatively few eyes
in this city, as New Workers prefer to
have their eyes made to order.-Neu

How Kindness Was Appreciated.

please pull that bell, mister" asked
sn innocent looking boy sho was stand
ing on the step Of a house On Franklin
street above Girard avenue yesterday
morning, Of dandy chap who was pass
ihg by. Thinking that the boy resided
in the house, aud desired to gain admit
tAnee thereto, the dandy replied, Ger
,ainly, sonny" This little act OF kind
ness, thought the dainty, certainly ought
10 accord him q smile Or a ~thank you"
from the sister, who he had no doubt
would answer the bell. IL was in the
hope Of receiving some such recognition
that he fingered for a moment. The
door was opened by robust daughter Of
the Emerald Isle, who carried broom in
her hand. "Phat did yez ring that bell
fort" she inquired of the small boy, who
had taken 4 position on the curbstone.
II didn't ring 1t; il was that ere man."
responded the mischievous little rascal,
pointing TO the retresting dandy.
Bridget started after the latter,
and catching up to him gave him a
wbacking blow on the head with the
broom, at the same time yelling at the
top of her voice, ANNOY dacent people,
will yez (another crack, D ye spalpeen,
ye." He tried to explain, but ii was no
use, and finding matters were likely to
terminate with serious injury to himself
he took to his heels. Bridget was not
disposed to let him escape with SO little
punishment, and accordingly followed
close behind, bringing her broom down
upon his already demolished hat when.
ever an opportunity showed itself. 1t was
a lively chase; coal beavers dropped
their baskets, hucksters stopped calling
out their goods, merchants and people
focked to their doors, and became inter
ested alone in the race. Only by jump.
ing on a street car was the dandy safe
from the enraged woman. AS he sank
down in a seat, wiped the perspiration
from his face, and tried to straighten out
his hat, he was heard to humble between
his clenched teeth, II will give $5 if some
one will show me that boy."-Philadel.

Home Again,

The return OF Dr. Czapkay to the practice
Of his profession, and particularly to the
speclalties in which he has been so well
known and esteemed, is matter Of public
congratulation. The doctor is too well and
favorably known by his long residence in San
Francisco to need an Introduction. Since he
relinquished his valuable practice some years
servatlon in European cities and hospitals,
perfecting his medical knowledge and expe-
rience. He returns to the active duties of his
profession with added advantages, and Is sure
to reap an early reward in the patronage of
those among whom he had so long resided.
His offices are at 200 Kearny street, San Fran.

COMFORT yoR SMALL PEoPLE.-Not
long before bis death, Canon Kingsley
drew attention to the surprising number
OF small young men to be seen in Lon.
don crowd According to him, it was
sign of the deterioration of the race. But
there are two ways of looking at every.
thing, and, for the comfort and satisfac.
ton of small people, we would point out
that 1t might also be taken as an indica-
ton of intellectual progress. Many--we
might almost say most--of the great men
OF history have been of short stature
Canute the Great, for example, was a
singularly small man; Napoleon, too, was
little; Nelson had no height to boast of;
and the Great Conde was short enough
Hildebrand-Gregory the Seventh-the
mightiest of all the Popes, was also quite
q diminutive person. Then amongst men
OF letters, poets, and philosophers, Mon
taigne, the essayist, was little; so was
Pope-"a little crooked thing that asks
questions;" so was Dryden; 80 was DR..
Watts, who insisted, as we all know, on
the mind being the stature of man; and
so was Scarron, who, alluding at once to
hls ill-health and his little size, called
himself an "abridgement of human mis-
erles'"-OaSsets Magazine.
