ARTIFICIAL EYES.
An Opsfcian Tells Whore They Ara Mada

An Opsfcian Tells Where They Ara Made
H. and What They Are Worth.
One-eyed people who can afford It
have two glass eyes, one for day, the
other for evening use. The reason for
this is that the pupil of the eve is
smaller in the day time than at night.
and hence the two glass eyes are of
different sizes, so as to correspond with
the natural eye. The price of glass
eyes il becoming cheaper on account
of competition, and at the same time
the quality is better. A common glass
eye may be had for ten dollars, bat
they are not good receptions and do
not last long. A first-class eye costs
fifty dollars, or even more. The best
will not last over two years, because
the secretions in the hollow of the eye
roughen the glass by chemical action.
and this roughness irritates the flesh. =,
A glass eye, like false teeth. is taken /
out at night, for it would not be safe
to go to sleep with it in the cavity. It
might drop out, and the slightest fall T
would break it. If person could buy
glass eyes at wholesale, by the gross,
he could get them for about two dol i
lars apiece. But he would have to look
over great many before finding one to !
fit and to match his other eye in {
size, color and expression. Glass
eyes are all made abroad, principally
in Germany and France, no faco
having been started here. although
there is great demand for them in
this country. A glass eye is not made e
after the shape of natural eye, be-
| cause when the latter is taken from the
cavity the tissues just back of it pushes
forward and leaves but little space.
The false eye is therefore elliptical in
shape. The outer side preserves the
natural form, but the inner side is near
flat, with rounded edges. 1t is slightly
larger that the natural eye, SO that
when inserted in the cavity it may nob
slip out At first it irritates the eye
lids and the tissues back of the cavity,
but the wearer grows accustomed to it,
| and finds it rest and protection.
| A skillful oculist can put glass inta
| the cavity so that very close observa-
ton is necessary to detect it. Not only
are the size and color of the natural
eye counterfeited, but even the general
expression. The oculist has yet to dis
cover means of giving that sympathetic
movement which distinguishes pair
of eyes. There is quite a large number
of people with glass eyes, say one in
four hundred. You would not know it
by casual observation, for the wearer
of a glass eye is so sensitive on the gu b.
ject that he is careful of its actions in
public, and he becomes so accustomed
to the glass orb that he can prevent all
but intimate friends from discovering
his defect. Science has done better by
him than by the man with the wooden
limb.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE BLIND MATCHMAKER.

A Clever Workman Who Did Not Let At
Fiction Discourage Him.
Many years ago there lived in the
town of Holbeach, England, a blind
matchmaker named William Rippin,
whose delicacy of touch and marvellous
skill in repairing watches were famous
throughout all the neighboring coun-
try. He was not born blind. either, so
that his singular faculty can not be ex-
planned as congenital. After learning
his trade in regular fashion he COM
menced business at Holbeach, but three
or four years afterwards caught a Sc
we're cold in his eyes. which resulted in
nmaurosis, and although under the
treatment of the leading oculists of the
day, he became totally and hopelessly
blind at twenty-eight years of age. H.
stead of being crushed By his misfor-
tune, he. by great aud untiring energy
and perseverance. became one OF the
most clever of blind men. His abil-
ity to clean and repair clocks. watches,
musical instruments and every article
connected with the business was truly
marvellous.
He was able to work as we'll as be-
fore his attiiction. He could do any re-
pairs required, even turning in verges,
etc. The only aid he required in tax
ing to pieces and putting together a
watch was in unpinning and pinning
the hair spring. which was i'm ossible
for a blind man to do, which was done
by his wife, whom he taught to work
at the business after his loss of sight.
He generally had one hundred watches
in the shop for repairs, some of them
being brought from distance of one
hundred to two hundred miles. Every
watch he knew by the touch, and every
customer by his voice. Having been a
6rst-class cricketer previously. even
after his loss of sight he played two
single-wicket matches, both of which he
won. He could play cards. dominoes,
bagatelle, was a good musician and
leader of the Holbeach brass band. He
was an intelligent man, nearly six feet
high, and many who saw and con-
versel with him were unaware that he
was blind. He died early in conse-
auence of the severe treatment of his
eyes, but the prosperous business he
left at Holbeach was carried on sue
tessfully by his wife and daughter until
about five years ago.-JeWe!ers' Re

Row Big Man Secured a Comfortable

A big railroad grader who doomed up

was comfortably drunk-the little man

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.
An Affection Most Commonly Connected
With the Middle Ear.

An Affection Most Commonly Connected
With the Middle Ear.
Catarrh is an increased secretion of
mucus from the mucous membrane, due
to it's Inflammation. This membrane
lines the cavities of the eyes, ears. nose,
mouth; indeed, every cavity which
opens directly or indirectly to the air.
The mucous membrane of each of these
organs is liable to Inflammation and
consequent morbid increase of mucus,
and hence we may speak of catarrh of
the stomach, bowels, bladder. The in
fammation may be acute or chronic.
AS popularity used. the word catarrh
generally refers to the mucous men,
brane of the nost*ils, pharynx (back
mouth) and air tubes. An ordinary
''cold'' in the ''head" is !. temporary
catarrl,. Catarrhal deafness is most
commonly connected with the middle
ear, the tympanic cavity-the portion
next beyond the drum. This cavity
opens into the mouth through the Eu-
stachian tube, and is thus supplied with
the necessary air. Now the mucous
membrane that lines this tube may
swell and close it up. in consequence of
Inflammation extending from the nos
trils and pharynx. Deafness, more or
less, may be due to this closure.
Again. the mucous membrane which
lines the cavity Of the middle ear may
itself be intlamed. If this is long con-
tinucd, the membrane becomes thick
ened; the ossicles-the little bones that
conduct the vibrations of sound from
the drum to the nerves of the internal
ear-may be greatly interfered with;
the mucus may accumulate and be-
come solid, it, fluid portion being alb
sorbed, or it may become purulent, as
in abscess, and may eat its way through
tho drum. Thus deafness, in various
degrees, may result.
AS to the treatment of catarrhal
deafness, we can give no other advice
than to urge an early resort to the best
expert within call. In this way alone
in many cases, can permanent, and
perhaps complete, deafness be avoided.
The medical and surgical resources are
now vastly beyond what they were
fifty years ago. But we must add, let
all vino seem specially liable to ca
tarrhal difficulties avoid exposure ia
cold winds, wear flannel next to the
skin, and, in every practicable way,
maintain high degree of general
health.
'Beating" in the ear is due to an in
creased constituencies of the nerve
causing it to feel the throbbing OF
some minute artery. In many cases of
ear troubles there is ringing (tinnit-
us) in the ears. which may be of al
most every conceivable degree and va:

DELPHI, Ind, May 25.-Three prison.
ers in the Monticello Jail, Ed. Cham
berlain, Albert Benson and Robert

derson aud escaped last night. The
sheriff went into the corridor to lock
the prisoners in cells when Chamber
lain struck him down with an iron
bar and all three rushed into the j Ill
office, smashed window and jumped.
The sheriff's injuries are fatal. Cham
berlain is under indictment for MUIR

heart, at Reynolds, six weeks ago.
Benson and Catterson were tramps
awaiting trial for highway robbery.
Both have served time in Michigan City
Penitentiary.
Before leaving all three wrote long
letters. Chamberlain said that the
unwholesome atmosphere Of the jail
was undermining his health; that this
was his only chance for his life; that
he had done right in numbering his
sweetheart and would advise others in
similar situations TO do the same thing.
The tramps said that there was no
chance for them to get justice in Indi-
ana. The whole country for miles
around is aroused and it is not thought
that Chamberlain can possibly escape.
The sheriff entered the Jail with a
cooked revolver, but was completely
trapped. His wife witnessed the affair
