The EyeiaIl.

The eyeball is white because the blood vessels which supply it's surface are so very fine that they do not admit the red eorpuseles of the blood The covering of the eyeball, the tuniea solerotcia. thus named for it hardness. is the largest and strongest coat of the eye, and covers the whole ball except the parts occupied by the entrance of the optic nerve behind and by the eornea before It is formed of elastic fibers running in every direction, and closely interwoyen with each other, and has few blood vessels compared with the choroids The tendons of the four recti muscles of the eye are fixed to the forepart of the tunica solerotica. These are the cellular vagiue covering them. and have been supposed to give an additional whiteness to the eye, and the part given such whiteness has been termed tunica albuginea, but the solerotie coat is everywhere a pure white. and can receive little additional brightness from any such covering.- Brooklyn Eagle.

All the felidae possess poisonous breaths. intended by nature to act as an anasthetic on their prey.

 A pretty girl from a fresh water7 district WAS responsible for another nautical word. The strips of canvas used in tying up the sails are called stops. Some one wanted the stops and could not find them for the instant.
 What are you looking for?a asked the young woman.
 T am looking for the stops. They were here little while ago.
 The stops? Oh, you mean the tapes. They're under this rug"
 And now the sails are bonnd with tapes.
 Another young woman from an in terior state had read enough nautical SUI AAs Ao AtAA VI NetNtf5 ilt fl IGAA 9l4IdSGs here and there. For one thing. she knew that hard tack" was a staple article of diet at sea. On visit to the east this damsel went sailing. She was anxious to learn, and when she heard the man at the wheel say hard a lee, 5 she asked some questions, and found out what it meant.
 4 little later the steersman said the yacht was going about. Some of the guests were paying no attention, and seemed in danger of being struck by the boom as it swept over to tine other sike of the yacht.
 Hard tack hard taclz!" cried out the young woman, excitedly.
 All managed to duck their heads in time to escape the spar, if they didn't know what the maiden meant by hard tack, and another joke was added to the yachts store of them. IN. Y Trib- une.

 While visiting Monte Carlo d few years ago l happened to stroll into the Casino one afternoon and there saw seated at one of the tables beautiful, weli=dfessed lady, apparently about thirty years old She had purse full of gold in front of her and large bun dle of bank notes in her hand She was playing rapidly, always stalking large sums, and in nearly every case she lost. She played boldly on, but her apparent composure was belied by her flushed checks and flashing eyes.
 After watching short time left. In the evening returned again to the gaming room and beheId the lady seated at the same table Her bank notes were all gone and she had put away her purse, as it was an easy task to hold her remaining gold in her hand She sat looking fXcdly at the table, from time to time moistening her lips with scarcely less dry tongue. Her face wore a look of infinite sadness, which might have been best relieved by burst of tears.
 She kept on playing steadily until all but her last coin was gone. She held it between her thumb and finger and gazed at it intently, as though de batting with herself about rislzing it. She had evidently devised it for some matter of fact purpose. perhaps to pay her hotel bill. She did not hesitate long. however for the temptation was more than she could withstand, and with a hysterieal little laugh she threw it on the table, only to see it ralzed in by the croupier and placed among the rest she had lost.

A Fort Smith (Ark.) special says: When

the royal crown, containing $50 jewels,

The gold frame of the crown, minus all

Ryan was vigorously prosecuted by At

The letters were sent 10 the Chief OF
Police of this city. who turned them over
to ex-Mayor G. VI. Cooke. who personally
prosecuted the search until he was en-
abled TO lay before the lady her own let

evidently had no knowledge that the dia-

her receipt for the diamonds, and then
placed them In the vault of the First
