Wearing of Glass Eyes.

1t is a fallacy to suppose that people
who wear cork legs and glass eyes IRE
indifferent to their personal appearance.
They are often vainer than ordinary in
diyiduals.
A rich nan, for instance. who is
obliged to wear an artificial eye will
wear three different eyes every day-an
eye for morning. when the pupil is not
very large; an eye for afternoon, when
the pupil is smaller; an eye for evening.
when the pupil has extended to its full
size.
A London eyemaker, who gave this
information, said he made about an
equal proportion OF glass eyes for men
and women. Some people keep quite a
stock in their possession. In fact, no less
than IL eyes have been made by my in
formant for one gentleman within three
months.
His son had got one eye made from
measurement, and that eye fitted so per-
fectly that the old gentleman, in an ont.
burst Of gratitude, wrote or for II 9th,
er eyes. The eyemaker admitted tina,
this was an exceptional instance

bring a great deal of wood and coal to
the city. As the trains move slowly
through the yards Of some Of the lines
of railroad the passengers can see in
closures filed with cord wood, store
houses of sacks Of fuel; also cars loaded
with these sacks, which all seem to be
of the same size. The opening of the
sacks is secured by lacings of cord, and
the cords fastened by leads. Here also
may be seen, stored on cars, large IN
perforated briquettes for use in engines
and manufactures. Along the embank

of cords of wood piled in such regular
order that one could we'll believe that

fore retiring however, there will be a
most important meeting held in this city
on or about the middle OF February, at
which time three names will be recon-
mended for the bishopric vacancy. The
selection of the three names will be
made by q committee OF six advisors,
consisting OF priests from different par
ishes in the diocese, assisted by Vicar
General Stephan of Washington and
Bishop Marty Of this city. The three
names 60 be selected will be balloted for
and they will stand in rank selected as
worthy, more worthy and most worthy,
only Latin terms are used to express the
meaning. These three names will be
sent to Rome and in time one will be
selected as bishop, but it may be a year
before action is taken.
Until a bishop is selected Archbishop
Ireland OF St. Paul will have direct
charge and rumor says Father Nolan OF
Sioux Falls will act as administrator
over the diocese.
Before Bishop Martyrs final retirement
he has the selecting of these priests who
will represent their respective parishes
for life. Those chosen cannot be remov
ed excepting for just cause. The three
selected however, must have been in the
parish ten years and represent parishes
which have sisters schools and church
property free from debt. 1t is under
