Artificial Eyes.

Artificial eyes are supplied to all the world from Thuringia, Germany. Near ly all the grown inhabitants of some of the villages are engaged in their manu- facture. Four men usually sit at ta- ble, each with a gas jet in front of him, and the eyes are blown from gas plates and molded into shape by hand. The colors are then traced in with small needles, no set rule being observed in the coloring, and as every man uses his own fancy no two artificial eyes there fore are exactly alike.

ly1QR lb 8 most D6aQblIul ana sublime thought. Its special appeal, no doubt, is to innocent and happy childhood. The idea of giving and receiving gifts, in itself inculcates the beautiful virtue of unselfshness and gratitude-the act of making others happy. This natural ly leads up to that higher thought, Gods boundless gift to the world, the giving of His Son, in order to redeem and make man happy and grateful This gratitude he expresses in Christian service and worship.
 Only recently we again read Washing ton Irving's inspiring impressions of the Christmas festival and he certainly only voices the great heart of humanity when he so beautifully says: "Of all the old festivals, however, that of Christms ss awakens the strongest and most heart felt associations, Here is tone of sol emn and sacred feeling that blends with our convivislity and lifts the spirit to . state of hallowed and elevating enjoy ment. The services of the church about this season are extremely tender and inspiring; they dwell on the beauti- ful story of the origin of our faith and the pastoral scenes that accompanied it's announcement. They gradually in- crease in fervour and pathos during the season of Advent, until they break forth in full jubilee on the morning that brought peace and goodwill to men. I do not know grander effect of music on the moral feelings than to hear the full choir and the pealine organ per- forming Christmas anthem in Cathe- dral, and filling every part of the vast pile with triumphant harmony"
 Let therefore on next Tuesday, the last Christmas Day in this century, our stores and the different places of busi- ness be closed. Let us celebrate Christ. mas in our homes, and let all go to Gods House and there worship Him, who is the author of this hallowed day which annually showers Its sacre bless ings upon untold millions.
