POLISHING UP EYES.
A Taxidermist's Part in Keeping the
Human Face Full of Expression.

"Once in while lady or a gentleman
drops in, and l take her or his eye out and
fix it." said a William street taXidermist
yesterday, as he prodded the stufiing into
a crow with outstretched wings on the
workbench in front of him. Il mean
glass eyes, of course" he added, looking
up as though an unimpOrtant afterthOught
had suggested itself. II don't know of
any one else in the business in the city,"
he continued, resuming his work. 81 adj
vertised some time ago to clean artificial
eyes and polish them as bright as new,
but don't know that it pays. 1t takes
too much time. No, don't do the work
while the owner of the eye waits. 1t takes
too long.
"YOu see," the taXidermist continued,
''glass eyes lose their expression after
they have been worn a good while. 1t can't
be called the expression either, can ~" he
asked meditatively. ''What l mean is
that they lOse-theY lose their brilliancy
That's it. At the back of the artificial
eye is hollow which sets like cup over
the little prOtuberance on the eye, ball.
When the wearer of the eye wiggles this
stump, then the eye wiggles. Dust and
things settle on the exposed surface of the
eye, and coating is formed. This it is
my business to remove. Then the eye
has to be polished again carefully. An
amateur had better not attempt to do it,"
''What have the wearers of artificial
eyes done all these years since glass eyes
were invented, if il is so difficult to clean
them?"
''They have gone to opticians who have
persuaded them to buy new eyes. There
is more money in selling an eye for from
s. to $40 than in cleaning one for from 81
to So"

The interests of humanity seem to de-

facts: Two months ago my attention was

was said to be afflicted with a cancer.
found her with an ulcer on her shoulder
at least five inches in circumference, an
CRY, painful, and giving the patient no
rest day or night for six months. | obtain
ed supply of Swifts Specific, which
persuaded her to try. She has taken five
bottles, the result of which is that the
ulcer is entirely healed up, nothing re-
manning but a small scab, not larger than
ones finger nail, and her general health
is better than for five years past. She
seems to be perfectly cured.
An old man of 81 years has been subject
to scrofulOus sores five years. He had
one on his cheek as large as a silver dol
lar, swollen, raw, and constantly eXuding
very offensive matter. Another on his
foot of the same character, and several
on the hands, all of about two and a half
wears standing. His general health was
poor. and he could scarcely get about at
all. He has taken two bottles of Swift's
Specific. The sores are all well, leaving
scarcely vestige of their former exist
ence, and his general health better than
it has been in ten years. l consider its
effects wOnderful-almOst miraculous.

might have more directly attacked the
risibles."

that case in order to rhyme, but
"Yes, that's so. Now, in your sketch,

"Your sketch would, with few elimin-
atiOns, make first rate obituary notice"

ment for a tOOth-wash."
And then they became excited, grabbed
each others cOat-cOllars, made dents in
the walls with each others backs, and
knocked down the pictures, stood off,
glared at each other and breathed hard.
They don't submit their articles to each
other now for inspection.
