About Eyes.

Strabismus, or "cross eyes, are now
safely and almost painlessly corrected.
The desired result may be obtained
BY the wearing of proper spectacles IN
early youth; but, according to the
Philadelphia Record if the evil is not
then corrected, an operation later on
will be necessary.
The removal of cataract from
the eye is one of the most delicate op.
erations performed by the oculist. A
cataract is formed by the lens Of the
eye becoming Opaque, so as to appear
grayish or otherwise, when 1t shuts
out the light from the optic nerve.
The oculist of today cuts into the ball
of the eye and removes the darkened
lens, and the optician supplies the de-
feet by artificial lenses that make good
the sight. The demand for glass eyes
is increasing as the character and
quality ofthe eyes improve. insight
ly eyeballs are now removed in part,
leaving enough of the muscles to ro-
tate the glass shell that is placed over
them. Where the work is properly
done the possessor Of the glass eye can
move it about with all the nsturalness
of real optic, and in many cases it
is very difficult TO tell the manufac-
tured article from the genuine. All
the wild stories about substituting
rabbits eyes for human eyes, or the
statements to the effect that oculists
can take eyes from their sockets, wipe
them on coarse towel and restore
them GDimpaired to the happy patient.
are all moonsbine, and any one who
is called upon to listen to such tales
is perfectly justified if under such cir
cumstances he should wink the other
eve.

The Bishops Experiment.

This story of a well-known bishop
seems good enough for publication
The bishop was one day examining
a batch Of deacons for priests orders.

animation in theory should now

the candidates were in some confusion,
and nobody cared to begin; but at last
a mad Irishman volunteered to be the
first. He entered the study, and, ap-
preaching the bishop, who was lying
with woe-begone air on sofa, thus
addressed him: "Oh, Anthony, An
thony! The dhrink again again !
Shure it will be the death Of ye Turn
from your evil ways before it's too
late, and be a man !" This is said to
have been the last time that the bishop
held a practical examination. .

Bits of History.

The introduction 10 paper Ieau
before the West Virginia Historical
Society by Hon. Virgil A. Lewis,
State Superintendent of Schools stated
the following interesting facts;
1t is very common to hear West
Virginia spoken of as new State
when in reality it is one of the old
States. Two hundred and twenty-five
wears since. John Lederer, Sir William
Berkeley authorized explorer, was on
the Mountains of Hampshire and In
the Valley of Cheat river; 1t is one
hundred and seventy-nine years since
Alexander Spottswood, with the
knights of the Golden Horse Shoe,
drank the health to King George on
one of the loftiest peaks of the Al
leghenies, in what is now Pendleton
county; and one hundred and sixty
nine years since Morgan Morgan reared
the first cabin home within the present
limits of West Virginia. That was
not long time ago, but it was SIX
years before George Washington was
born; seven years before white man
found home in Georgia ; twenty-five
years before the founding Of Pittsburg;
forty-nine years before the first settle
ment of Kentucky; forty-three years
before a civilized man reared cabin
in Tennessee, and sixty-two years be-
fore the founding of Marietta, the old
est town in Ohio.
Fifty years intervened between the
first settlement Of white men in West
Virginia and the beginning of the
Revolution, and in these years cabin
homes appeared here and there in all
the country between the Alleghenies
and the Ohio, together with a consid-
erable population in the Eastern Pam
handle. At the beginning of that war,
there were at least 81 900 people re-
siding within the present limits oil
West Virginia. These people were
actively engaged in the Indian wars,
and numbers of them were at Brad
docks defeat at the battle of Monon-
gahela.
When the storm of Revolution came
these West Virginia pioneers were
ready, and the news from Lexington
and Concord speedily brought them
together. More than hundred with
rifles in hand, collected at Morgans
Spring, one mile south of Shepherds
town. now in Jefferson county, and
from there, on the 18th day of July,
l775, they took up the line of march
for Boston, six hundred miles away.
The 10th of August ensuing-twenty-
four days after starting-they arrived
within sight of the American camp.
Washington was in the saddle, and
when he saw the Virginians he gal
loped away to meet them. Rounds
of cheers were heard on the plains OF
Boston, and the great tears coursed
the cheeks of the Commander-in-Chie
These were the first troops from the
south side of the Potomac that joined
Washington at Boston.
