Artificial Bird aud Animal Eyes.

Artificial eyes in imitation of tho

ing birds for millinery trimmings; an
finals eyes are used for the heads in
eyes are used for many other pur-
pcses; for example, for eyes in cane
and umbrella heads made in imitation
of animals, for many kiods of toys,
aud SO on. Artificial eyes are also
made for some living animals; it is
not uncommon for horses to have
glass eyes, and dogs are sometimes
provided with them; in at least one
case calf has been supplied with one.
but most artificial eyes are for use in
mounting natural specimens, and in
the manufacturing uses above referred
to.
The ewes are made, Of course, in
imitation Of nature, aud many Of
them are beautiful. The stock that
the manufacturer or dealer keeps
always on hand ls wonderful In its
variety. There is no eye that could
not be supplied. Here are humming
birds eyes, and alligators' ewes, tigers
eyes, and swans eyes, and eyes for
owls. and for eagles, aud for birds of
| all kinds and sizes; eyes for mounted
fishes, eyes for the bear, the lion. the
! panther, the fox, the squir rel, the dog,

be mounted, and eyes for imitation,
pigs and dogs, sheep and cats and SO
on.
/ Artificial eyes for birds and animals
are sold chiefly to taxilermists, to
furrjers, and to the various manufac-
turers. They are sold in pairs; the
number sold in the aggregate is very
large. The busiest season is the fall

II don't believe that there Is place

more and held at a higher rate than
right here. Millions are made and lost
here every day without a scrap Of
writing connected with the contract
A motion Of the hand will often an
nounce the acceptance of a bid which
makes or loses a fortune. Other pro-
fessions have no idea Of such methods,
and the average broker has as high
a sense Of honor as the meE OF any
other class In the world:

CRIPPLE CREEK.
Speaking Of Mr.. Clews' belief of there
being gold era at hand, l had a chat
the other day with Senator Henry M
Teller about the rich Cripple Creek
gold mine Of Colorado. Cripple Creek
lies just back of Pixies Peak 1t Is,
perhaps. the best gold region in the
United States today. Senator Teller
had just come from the mines when
I saw him. Said he:
"A wonderful gold development is
going on in Colorado, and this has
practically changed the condition Of
the state. We seemed to be OH the
verge Of ruin in 1893. through the fall

and we have some rich gold mines at
Camp Creek and Fulford. The Cripple
Creek mines are turning out gold at
the rate Of from eight to ten million
dollars a year. I visited two Of the
greatest mines there during my stay.
In the Portland mine I found millions
in sight, and I am told that the Inde-
pendence mine is equally good. The
Portland mine Is turning out about
$4,000 worth of gold a day. or more
than half a million dollars a month.
1t costs very little to get the gold out
The average Is less than rs cents an

THE RICHEST MAN.


"Who is the richest man in the Unit
ed States, Mr. Clews?''
IT believe Cornelius Vanderbilt
stands at the head" was the reply:
HE has at least one hundred million
dollars
who are the five richest menu"
Let me see," was the reply Of the
broker. as he held up delicate white
hand. and began to count on his fin
gers. beginning at the little one.
There is Cornelius Vanderbilt first
William H. Vanderbilt second. William
Waldorf Astor. the fortune Of Jay
Gould. and. lastly. that Of John Rookie
Teller. Each Of these is worth from
fifty millions to hundred million dol
lars, and together they represent an
enormous amount of money"
Are not these large fortunes dam
gerous to the United States?" I asked.
Don't you think that we are liable
to have a society of the rich and one
of the poor If we are not carefu12"
mo, I think not" replied Mr.. Clews.
1.-The only way these fortunes have
been kept together is by system OF
entail. The Vande7falts have given
the bulk to the eldest son. and the As
tor millions are kept together. The
rule is that rich families seldom hold
their estates more than four genera
tons That may be called the life OF
a fortune We have no law Of entail.

outside manage to get away with the
fortunes Of the effete rich"
