Presented with Artificial Eyes.

There are two girls in New York city who are well provided against emer- gencies. They have duplicate eyes safely packed away in their jewel boxes against possible accident. When they were in Vienna last year they visited the Salviati glass factory, where the finest artificial eyes in the world are made. During thcr visit they were surprised at the very steadfast gaze of one of the workmen, but of course took no notice of the seeming impertiIenee. 4 few days later each received a little box which, being opened, was found to contain most accurate copies in glass of their lovely eyes and little note re- questing their acceptance. and saying that they might at some future time be found great convenience.

SHIPS A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
The Juno of Beaumaris Was One Hun- dred and Six Years old When Wrecked.

The Juno of Beaumaris Was One Hun-
 dred and Six Years old When Wrecked.
 From the table in the last board of trade reports respecting casualties to ships, which shows tine ages of vessels, il is surprising to find how very ancient many of the craft still doing service really are. Thirty-nine sailing vessels are between fifty and sixty years old. eighteen are between sixty and seventy years, thirty are between seventy and one hundred, and six are actually above a century old While these mum bers represent only a very small pro- portion of such ancient mariners still sailing the wintry seas,'' it must not be thought they refer only to barges or craft engaged in river or inland navi- gation.
 The Juno of Beaumaris, built one hundred and six years ago. met with her mishap while on coasting voyage, and the Endeavor, Plymouth, still older craft, in seeking to act up to her name came to grief while on voyage from Dunkirk. What IS more surpris- ing still, the same casualty list contains the names of two steamships, one above eighty years and the other above ninety years old!
 On consideration, however, it is ob- vious that these vessels must have originally been built as sailing vessels, as the periods named carry us much farther back than the date at which the Sirius made her famous voyage across the Atlantic. With regard tu the ancient sailing vessels, too, they must have little or nothing of the original structure left. As long as there is one single plank, however, the vessel retains her identity.

German
 Syrup"

The majority of well-read phys icians now believe, that Consump- ton is a germ disease. In other words, instead of being in the con- stitution itself it is caused by innu- merable small creatures living in the lungs having no business there and eating them away as caterpillars do
 the leaves of trees. A Germ The phlegm that is
 coughed up is those Disease. parts of the lungs
 which have been gnawed of and destroyed. These little bacilli, as the germs are called, are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they are very much alive just the same, and enter the body in our food, in the air we breathe, and through the pores of the skin. Thence they get into the blood and finally arrive at the lungs where they fas.sz ss=zd increase with frightful rapidiy. Then German Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills them, expells them, heals the places they leave, and SO nourish and soothe that, in short time consump- ives become germ-proof and well. Q

This winter has been hard one on prospectors. There is much complaint heard from many sources of lack Of feed and water. The cattle have wandered far up into the mountains and eaten of all the grass, leaving nothing for horse or even burro to live on. The present storm will soon remedy this, however, and many par ties are getting ready to start out and prospect. The water holes will all be filled with water, and spring grass is already starting on the sunny slopes oi the hills.

CARING FOR PEARLS.

A Simple Preservatiye to Give These
 stones A Bright Appearance.
 One of the most beautiful and costly sets of pearl jewels ever made was an heirloom in the Egmont family, of Iol- land, says a writer in Kate Fields Wash ington. During the war which led to the establishment of the Dutch republic Count Egmont,o that time, pawned the jewels to the Venetian government for large sum of money, which was used to further the efforts of the liberal party. Afterlvard the pearls were re- deemed, and when later Count Egmont married the daughter of the duke of Richelieu this magnificent treasure was bestowed upon the bride, who frequently displayed its splendor at the court of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette.
 Every one who knows the fragile na- ture of pearls was astonished at the freshness and purity of color of those exceedingly old jewels, and Count Egg mont explained the mystery by inn parting the family rule concerning their care, which was simply to inclose a piece of the root of the ash tree in the box which held the jewels.
 There seems to be no visible connec- tion between ash trees and pearls, and Buffon, the naturalist, who was told of the recipe, said it was all nonsense; but the fact remains that the Egmont pearls, which had been treated after that rule for centuries, had never faded or become tarnished, while much newer pearls had shown discoloration or, lost their luster after few years possession.
 This rule is like many other popular prescriptions which are considered sup erstitious, but which nevertheless are founded upon an unfailing though un- discovered law. The wonder is how these mysterious alliances between natural substances become known to mankind

A SAGACIoUS HORSE.
AS Last Resort He Ate the Hasp of the


 One of the best stories heard at gath crinTs Of horsemcn at the late show in New York was told of a Kentucky roan, who was left in an open paddock fastened by means of wooden hasp. This he learned in few days to take out with his teeth and drop on the ground. only to have it carefully re placed by the stable boy who displaye wonderful intuition about disc1verin . 1t. Finally when it became plain to h.s horsish understanding that there was nothing to bc gained by such per formance he tried the experiment of carrying it over to the further side of the fence and letting it fall into a ncighboring yard. Now it so happcnel that his owner caught him in the act and, relentless, went and fastened him m aga-l; then from distance he watched to see what would come next. As he lad expected, the horse diligent- ly loosened the stick again. but-now comes the queer part of it-instead of putting it in any of the old places, he gave one defiant snort and laboriously set to work to eat it up,
