Glass Eyes for Animals.

eyes" said a New York optician
the other day, "we have glass eyes for
animals as we'll as for human beings. /
am not speaking of the same kind Of
eyes that arc ed by taxidermists in
stuffing animals but of those used for
live creatures. A pet dog or a cat is
liable to loose its eye through an accident
just the same as yourself might. Field
and sporting dogs are especially subject
to injury and it spoils a beasts appear
ance to lose an eye just the same as it
does mans. They can be put in very
readily and easily matched. We have
blue eyes and green eyes, chocolate
colored eyes, and sulphur colored eyes.
A well made eye costs about five dollars
and will last lifetime We have eyes
for horses too, that sell for about the
same price. Do animals take kindly to
glass eyesG Oh yes, they are just as
proud of them as they are of new COL
lars or silver trappings."

A Pig in the Fence.

Didst never observe when pig in the fence
Sends forth his most pitiful shout
How all Of his neighbors betake themselves
thence
To punish him ere he gets out?
What a hubbub they raise, 50 that others
afsr,
May know his condition, and hence
Come running to joiu them in adding scar
To the pig that is fast in the fence?
Well, swine are not all Of the creatures that
be,
Who find themselves sticking between
The rails of the fence and who strive to get
free,
While the world IS still showing them in:
Who find that the favor they meet with de-
pends,
Not on worth, but on dollars and cents;
And that It's but few who II prove them
selves friends
To the pig that is fast in the fence.
