GLASS EYES ARE IMPORTED
The Finest Come From Paris.
New York Sun.

: Nearly sll the artificial eyes used in
this country are imported from Eu-
rope Attempts have been made to
manufacture them here but the in
dustry has never hourished. The fin
est eyes are made in Paris and some
good ones come from Germany and
switzerland. The eyes are made of
glass and are in the shape of hollow
hemisphere. The pupil is formed of
colored glass, and its execution re-
quires the greatest skill on the part of
the workman. The white OF the eye
is initiated with wonderful accuracy.
1t is of cream white, yellowish white,
blue white, or any other shade so as
to exactly match the white OF the re-
manning real eye. Before the final
glazing is put on small red veins are
traced on with lead peEcil On the
surface. There is slight ridge along
the edges which enables the muscles
of the socket to take hold and move
the ball.
Dealers in artificial eyes keep them
in separate boves which they call the
blue box, the black box, the brown
box, and so on. These boxes contain
eyes of every size. from those as large
as a marble TO one as large as a pig
cons egg.
A dealer in artificial eyes said: "We
fit the eyes to the socket by heating
and softening the ball, and then cut
ting it with hot scissors to the proper
size and shape, the hollow part fits
over the stump of the eye. When this
is neatly done the eye moves as read
lily as the other eye, and it is difficult
to tell which one is glass. The great
majority of artificial eyes are used by
werkmen, especially those in iron
boundaries, where many eyes are put
out by sparks. 1t is seldom that
woman has glass eye.
Artificial eyes are not only used to
improve appearance, but also to pro-
tect the stump from injury, which
would be apt to affect the other eye.
Artificial eyes cost S. and last from 1
to 5 years. 1t is acted upon by the
salt of Precipitation and tears, which
dulls and roughens the surface. For
this reason 1t is customary to take the
eye out at night, which also gives rest
to the socket. Ii the lachry NAL duct
has not been destroyed, a mas can cry
as well with an artificial eye as with
good one."

Things to Remember.

That brush broom Is just the thing
to clean horse radish graters and
silver.
That soda will clean unpalnted
sinks, tables and floors. Rub soda
and soap on all greese spots; wash
with hot wates and behold the result.
That soda is excellent to purify dish
cloths and wiping towels.
That true test for eggs is to drop
them in water; if the large end comes
up they are not fresh.
That nightly gargle of salt and
water will strengthen the throat and
keep off bronchial attacks.
That salt sprinkled over anything
that is burning on the stove will pre-
vent any oisagreeable odor.
That beeswax will make smooth fiat
irons. Put little wax on several
thicknesses of brown paper, rub the
hot iron over the wax, wipe with a
CLOTH, and the result will please the
most fastidlous.

Facts about the Eye.
New York Mail and Express.

There is no cure for color blind
ness.
Color blindness is due to exhaustion
of nerve hbers.
Four out of every 100 males an
one IN every 400 females are color
blind.
1t is no sign a man is color blind
because he can not name every color,
The eye of all insect contains from
fifty to 90, 600 small eyes. 1t is really
composed of eyes.
We do not need light to see certain
objects. A sharp blow on the eyes
often causes man to see stars.
The cause of color blindness, aside
from natural. causes, are alcohol, to-
bacco and diseases. 1t is in many
cases hereditary.
The writer saw a man who was
color blind take 100 colors and divide
them into four groups, black, yellow,
white and blue.
1t is nonsense to believe there is any
particular way to rub the eyes. 1t
makes no difference whether you
move from or toward the nose or up
or down.
The cat, horse and birds have a
third eyelid, which is used to protect
the eye from too much light. Man
has a third eyelid in the corner of
the eye which is undeveloped.

FORCING THE TARIFF.
The Ways and Means Comm it.
tee Agree Upon the Hewitt
Bill With the MOrri-
son Annex.
Startling Facts Regarding the
Bogus Butter Trade Pre-
scented to the House
Agricultural Com
mittee.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The ways
and means committee to-day, by
strict party vote, agree to the Hewitt
administrative bill. with the Morrison
annex IN the shape of a tariff bill.
The latter comprises the free list OF
the Morrison bill so fsr as it applies to
lumber, fish, fax and hemp Wool
was also added to the free list. Under
the head Of dutiable goods the chemi-
cal and cotton schedules of the Morrl-
son bill were added, with amend
ments relating TO fine cotton goods,
and the sugar duties were reduced 10
pei cent. Democratic members Of the
committee express the opinion, based
upon the department estimates, that
the new bill will effect a reduction
OF between $22, 100000 and S24,-
000,0 C0 in the revenues. A
loss of about 100000 is ex-
pected as result of placing
wool on the free list, of 81, 900, 900 on
wooden products and Of $4,000, 600 on
sugar. In cotton and wooden cloths
the principal reduction of duty has
been On the coarse grades, and very
little or no change has been made in
finer qualities, such as lace, etc. Be,
fore the measure is reported to the
house the clause placing fish on the
free list will probably be qualified
with a provision excepting Canada
fish, so long as Canada refuses to &C
cord the fisherman of this country the
right to enter and clear from Cana
dian ports. The above covers the new
points in the tariff bill, and the re-
mainder was included in the publica-
ton eff the original Morrison bill The
bill will be reported to the house on
Tuesday with majority and minority
reports. No time has been fixed for
considering the bill in the house, but
an arrangement will..probably be made
by the committee on Tuesdays meet
ing. 1t is usual to allow two or three
weeks after sdch a measure is reported
for the members CT the committee to
prepare for the discussion so that it is
not likely that Mr.. Morrison will call
up the bill prior to April 30.

An Ugly City,

San Francisco is probably the ugli-
est city in the union, despite her beau
tiful surroundings, her ideal situation,
her raviShing water view. Nature has
supplied her with charms galore, but
on her face the reforming hand of
man has left heavy, hideous marks.
Her architecture is a night mare OF
gray and wooden horrors; her houses
lack both paint and dignity and are
huddled together, separated by the
omnipresent, ulta-ugly, all prevailing
fence. A tall, wooden fence has its
obvious use ia rural districts, where
it protects the grounds and gardens of
the residents from the unwelcome in
cursions OF rowing cattle. but it Is

cities have long since abandoned
fences, except in some cases, where q
