ARTIFICIAL EYES.
They Were Made In Egypt Five Hundred
Years II. C..

They Were Made In Egypt Five Hundred
Years b.. c.
It is not known precisely when OF
where artificial eyes originated; but
the annals plainly show that in ancient
times the priests in Egypt and Rome,
who practiced as physicians and sur
geons, made artificial eyes, hands.
arms, and legs-the Egyptians as ear
ly as 500 B. G. Their method Of eye
making ia thus described: On the CEN
ter of a piece of ~flesh-colored prepared.
linen, two and q quarter inches by
one and a quarter, the fiat side Of o
piece of earthenware, modelled life-size
and painted to represent the human
eye and eyelids, was ,cemented; and
this linen, coated on the other side
with an adhesive substance, was placed
over the eye and pressed down. These
artificial eyes were therefore worn
outside the cavity, and though not
strictly artistic In design or detail,
were no doubt fully appreciated and
worn with pride by the monocular
Egyptian and Roman "toffs." It is
chronicled that one of these artificial
eyes vas picked up in the ruins Of
Pompeii, which was destroyed in 70
A. d. The earliest known mention of
modern artificial ~eyes-that is. eyes
worn inside the ~orbit-occurs in an
exceedingly rare illustrated work on
surgery, written by a French surgeon
named Ambrose Pare. and published
in Paris in 1861. Pare invented three
artificial eyes. The first was a WON
derful continuance. 1t consisted Of =
thin metal spring-band which passed
half way round the wearer's head, hav-
ing on one end a small oval plate,
which covered the orbit of the eye, and
the other end pressed against the back
of the head. The oval plate was COW
cred with smooth, soft leather, On
which an eye was painted. 1t would,
perhaps, be difficult to devise anything
more inelegant OF uncomfortable. The
second device was a hollow globe of
gold, eye-shaped and enameled, which
was worn inside the socket-the first
recorded artificial eye thus worn. The
third contrivance was simply a Shell

and ena1neled. Except that they were
made of gold and enameled, the
two latter were practically of the Same
design as the 'globe" and shell" glass
eyes Of the present day. Pare's clum-
sy, truss-like appliance and his two
gold eyes, which were used only by the
wealthy, were succeeded by eyes made
of painted porcelain and colored pearl
white, which Immediately became i'm
mensely popular. Next came the in
vention of glass eyes, which instantly
superseded all others, and still COM
mand the public favor.

streets. He means mountaineering
at weddings. The canon says there
can be no objection to a volley Of
white satin shoes" Shoe-throwing is
an ancient custom, ana means good
luck to you. It depends on how you
throw your shoe. We know OF an I'M
stance In which the throwing OF shoes
caused the horses In the BRIDES car

brides father, who tried to stop them,
and seriously injuring him. In this
case, the honeymoon took the form
Of six weeks nursing. Accidents Of
the kind do sometimes happen, says
the London News. It is not long since
a case Of binding by rice-throwing
was reported. The custom which has
the canon's innocent approval Is some
what silly. The anon ~confesses to
having more than once tied a shoe to
the "axletree at the back of the car
riage," so that the spectators along
the route might enjoy the fun" The
device is certainly safer than throw
ing shoes promiscuously; and II it
amuses the canon without harming

A WINTERS WALK IN CANADA.
Rude Social Life Hand in Hand with
U~pmistakable Culture. b

-" 4fe". .-
Canada has of late been bulking
large in the public eye, says Arnold
Haultain in Nineteenth Century. She
it was who first proved confederation
feasible; she it was who gave practi-
cal shape to the idea of imperial unity
by the institution of a preferential
tariff; she linked East with West by
her Pacific railway; and it is she who
took the initiative in imperial penny
postage. From the position of a hum
BILE colonial dependency she has risen
to the rank, if not of a political and
fiscal exemplar, at all events of a po-
litical and fiscal experimenter. The
contrast is notable. I took the other
day a long winters walk in this coun-
try of contrasts. For this, of truth,
Canada is. Her climate, her scenery,
her sentiments, her people, her poll
tics, all exhibit extremes the most ex-

Alps; prim fields, orchards and vine

Along with the hardy apple and the
far-famed No. 1 Manitoba wheat, this
land produces strawberries, peaches,
grapes and melons. Constitutionally
content with British connection, her
people are intimately influenced by
ideas and manners American. Indeed,
her people are as heterogeneous as
herself. The Maritime provinces OF
the extreme east hardly call them
selves Canadian; Quebec Is French;
ontario is Canadian to the core, so is
Manitoba; in the northwest territories
are settlers from almost every nation

the extreme west, again, fights shy OF

BOLD MONKEY SLEW SNAKE.
Strategy of the slmian' Was Too Much,

Strategy of the simisn Was Too Much
for the Cobra.
At Bangalore, India, not long ago a
battle between a monkey and a snake
was witnessed by a party of Europeans.
The reptile, a cobra, was enjoying a sun
bath. near the highway, far from the
beaten track of jungle travel, when
the monkey espied him and deliberate
ly put an end to his siesta by hurting
at him every missile he could find. The
snake wriggled awhile under the pun
ishment, and then in a fury gave chase
to the monkey. The little simian was
far too agile for the reptile, however.
and kept him at a safe distance until
a pile of rocks was reached. On this
the monkey calmly perched, with his
back against a holder, and awaited the
onslaught. The snake came on in blind
rage, and again and again struck at the
monkey, who lodged every blow, al
lowing the venomous head to strike
the rock at his back. The cobra be-
came more and more Infatuated as he
battered himself against the bowlder.
and at last, bleeding and exhausted,
lay at full! length with every fighting
instinct subdued. This was the mon
keys opportunity. Selling the snake.
by the neck he quickly rubbed the head
of against a sharp point of rock, and
then climbed a tree and chartered glee-
fully at the admiring human specta-
tors, who showed their appreciation of
the spectacle he had afforded by leav-
ing a banquet of Indian corn and u
gar cane for the victor.-Chicago,
