Interesting Information About One
Eyed People and Glass eyes.
From Tie Jerelers' W'eckiu


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 eye is smallar in the daytime
than at night, and hence the two-glass eyes
are of different sizes, so as TO correspond with
the natural eye.
The price Of the glass eye is becoming
cheaper on account of competition, and at
the same time the quality is better than
hitherto. A common glass eye may be had for
$40, but they are not a good imitation and do
not last long. A tirst-cass eye costs $50. 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 ir'ritates the flesh
A glass eye, like false teeth, is taken out at
night, for it would not be safe to 90 to
sleep with it in the cavity. 1t might
drop out, and the slightest fnll would break
it.
If aperson could buy glass eyes at whole
sale, 10y the gross, he could get them for
about 81 apiece But he would have to
look over a great many before finding one
to fit and to match his other eve in size
color and expression. Glass eyes are ali
made abroad, principally in Germany and
France, no factory having been started here
although there is great demand for them
in this country
A glass eye is not made after the shape of
a natural eye, because when the latter is
taken from the cavity the tissue lust back of
it pushes forward and leaves but
little space. The false eye is, there
fore, eliptical in shape The outer
side preserves the natural form but inner
side is nearly fiat with rounded edges. 1t Is
slightly larger than the natural eye, so that
when inserted in the cavi yit may not slip
out. At first it irritates the eyelids and the
tissue back of the cavity, but the wearer
grows accustomed to it and finds it a rest
and protection.
A skillful oculist can put glass-eye in
to the cavity so that very clio observation
is necessary TO detect it. Not only are the
size and color of the natural eye counterfeit
ed, but even the general expression. The
oculist has yet to discover means of giving
that sympathetic movement which distin-
guiShes pair of eyes. There is quite
large number OF people with glass eyes, say
one in 400. You would not know it hy cas-
ual observation, for the wearer of "A glass
eye is SO sensitive on the subject that he is
careful of his actions i'll public and he be-
comes 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.

got mad and abusive, and made trouble and
almost a riot in the house. Some OF the
more peaceahle ones sent after the police,
aud Patroimen Dnkins aud Harp went
down and arrested the man. When they
kulled him ont of the church the crowd be-
came excited, and many of them aided the
prisoner in resisting the officers. A riot
enSued, in which the officers used their
clubs freely, and had finally to resort to
their pistols. Both men got pretty badly
handled by the mob, Dinkins getting several
blows and one finger bitten, and Harp got
bruised up pretty badly. In the melee the
negro escaUed and fed the town. but it is
thought that he will be picked up soon.

A special meeting Of the City Council of
Augusta was held Friday for the purpose of
adopting licenses for the coming year. The

that $40, 900 be expended IN repairing the

THE BARLEY CORNER.
The Craven Syndicate Lands
the Goods.

The Craven Syndicate Lands
the Goods.
| Yesterday Frank Craven was In
high feather over the arrival of two
car loads of barley from Sacramento,
the night before. The buyers were
on hand early in the morning, and
before noon every sack was either
hauled away or spoken for. The
price-$1.53 caused the local
corner in the grain to slump badly.
1t appears that Craven had formed
a syndicate along with the Raycraft
Bros. and other parties representing
livery and feed stables, and were
able to deliver the grain at 81 SO at
the freight house. By noon the
supply was exhausted, and two
more carloads were ordered.
Craven says that he always be-
lieves in patronizing grain raised in
Nevada, but he will not stand any
combination to make corners.
+ How the rates were in Genoa last
evening, the APPEAL was not in
formed, but gentleman who came
down last night from there says if
any more grain is landed in this
city from Sacramento at $1.53 they
will throw at least 5000 sacks on
the market at $3.50 per hundred,
and continue to sell at these figures,
leaving Craven's barley on his
hands.
- Craven says he will see their |
bluff and give them barley at what
they will consider bed rock and sew
eral sub strata lower if they want to
call his baud. He is in the barley
war to stay, and only wants to re-
mark to all concerned:
clay on Macdutf."

PROF. WOOD.

| He Talks on Forage GRASSES.
Mr.. EDITOR Iii you can find
room l would like to make y few re-
marks on the rye grass family
and its wonderful productiveness on
alkali ground that will not produce
sagebrush.
l know of five grasses, and no
doubt between here end Fort Lara
mic are a dozen varieties OF the
rye grass family, that are self-sus-
tanning, and need nothing but the
Winter rains. l have spent seven
months in these mountains, and
consider these native grasses better
than either English or Italian.
To anyone who has horses orchick-
ems Clear your chicken house and
Stable and dig it into your spare
ground. Sow field peas and oats, or
vetches and cats as early as you
can, and by the time the wild grass
begins to dry you will have from A
to feet of rich, dense feed; two
crops on the same ground. One
helps the other to grow. And if
you want the ground to lose no
time, clear your hen house, dig in
some more manure and sow rye;
wet it a little if you can. Water
or no water, the rye will grow if it
can get a start. Ii you have bees
SOW alcke clover with oats or any of
the grasses. 1t must be protected
by another crop the first year. 1t
gives more honey than anything ex-
cept Eastwood, better hay than al
falfa, and twice as much as red
clover. JOHN WOOD.
