wards covered with a thick layer Of
crystal to form the corner.
To the onlooker the principal difficult
" appears to be that of distinguishing
lot, but when the eye cools every color
md mark is as accurate as if made
with a brush or pencil. The eye is now
detached from the blowpipe, cooled,
and then sent into the cutting room,
from which it emerges shaped in a lit
lie hollow oval with irregular edges,
.iAo a broken birds egg.
The cutting is a very delicate and
difficult operation, as hairs breadth
deviation in size will make a material
next fired, and the eye Is allowed to
cool very gradually this being the an
healing, or tempering, process, which
lenders the enamel less liable to break,
:hOugh at this stage it often flies to
pieces, and new eye has to be made.
The final process is the polishing,
lfter which the eye is dispatched to its
)Wner, or if not made to order, Is
placed in stock.
For matching and fixing artificial
eyes, considerable skill and experienced
Judgment are necessary, for the eye
IN order to defy detection, must not
only resemble the original in color and
size, but also in every little popularity
and expression.
The sclerOtic, or white, is never the

Costumes of the Spreewald

Consul-General de Kay writes a pa
per entitled "An Inland Venice" for the
Century. 1t is a description of life in
the Serbian Swamp, Vendland. Mr.. de
Kay says: "SchoOl OUT at the village
school of Burg is a pretty sight The
substantial brick building overlooks the
ever-murmuring highway, and the boys
and girls, instead of stringing up dus-
ty road, tumble into punts and pole
away for dear life-the boys much like
other boys, but the girls reduced fac
SMILES of their mothers and elder sis
ters, clad In bright but short raiment,
and visible afar off through their
strange mOb-caps with wings. AS one
moves down stream from Burg by
smaller and collapse, while the skirts
grow longer and more resemble the or
binary dress of women. At dance the
Spreewalder knows instantly, by the
Deculiarities of her costume, from what
WALLACE a woman or girl has come. At
Leipe the multitudinous skirts of
alarming girth are no more, the gown
reaches the ankles, and the cap fits
close tc the head instead of resting on a
framework as in Burg. Thus the dress
in Leipe is perhaps more graceful, but
it is more commonplace; it no longer
testifies to that pride of the peasant
father or husband which Is shown by
the number of yards in the skirts of
his womanfolk and the variety of their
caps, by the richness Of their dress as
we'll as their jewelry.

their age increases; while in people
from hot countries, and in great smok-
ers, 1t is a dirty yellow. The four prin-
cipal colors in eyes are blue, gray,
brown and hazel; but there are hum
dreus Of varieties in these four classes.
Violet or black eyes are entirely I'M
known.
An eye will only last a year, as the
action of the tear, which is acid, af-
fects the enamel, which is metallic, by
roughening its surface This in turn
causes an irritation of the eyelids In
all ordinary cases the artificial organ
cannot be detected from the natural
organ; even when the globe has been
entirely removed, the muscles. by their
attachment to the tissues remaining in
their orbits, usually impart movements
to the artificial organ in the same direc-
ion, though perhaps not quite to the
Iame extent as the real eye.

Foot Ball in Great Britain,

Football is immensely popular in
Great Britain, and every half holiday
the game attracts the attention of all
classes of people. An international
game in Glasgow recently, between
teams representing Scotland and En-
gland, attracted a crowd of 900 peo-
pie, the gate receipts amounting to up
word Of $4,000. At another game near
London there were 55,SO6 spectators.
1t is a weekly occurrence in the large
Yorkshire and Lancashire midland
towns for a crowd of from 10000 to
10000 people to watch game, the
prices of admission ranging from 5 to
so cents. In some towns the stores are
closed during the progress of the game.

Prince Henri d'Orleans and the Count
of Turin have met on the field of honor.
AS the result the fiery Italian now has
a scratch across his right hand, not
quite skin deep, and the Prince has
cash In his undershirt and trifiing slit
in his side, deep enough to draw blood
but not deep enough to cause any per-
sonal Inconvenience beyond a cessa-
ton of the pastime. But honor has
been satisfied. The seconds say so and
they ought to know. Besides the prin-
cipals have shaken hands and sworn
eternal friendship. The Count has
gone back to Italy; the job lot Of chal-
lenges sent to Henri has been recalled;
the bloodshed is off; the whole thing is
settled. Neither man was hurt; but
the actual losses were heavier than
usual. In the third encounter the
Princes sword point struck a button
on the Counts trousers and smashed 1t.
This will have to be replaced. The
Count temporarily Is using a shingle
nail to counterbalance his loss, but of
course this cannot be accepted as fair
substitute. The cash in the Princes
undershirt must be sewed up and the
expense will have to be borne by his
friends. Princes, 1t must be remem-
