ARTIFICIAL EYES.
The First Ones Made Were Worn
Outside the Socket.

The First Ones Made Were Worn
Outside the Socket.
AS early as 500 B. c. artificial eyes
were made by the priests of Rome and
Egypt, who praCticedsas physicians and
surgeons. Their methods of eye max
ing are thus described: On q strip of
flesh tinted linen, two and a quarter
by one and a quarter inches. the fat
side Of a piece of earthenware, model
ed life size and painted to represent
the human eye and eyelids, was ce-
mented. This linen, coated on the 9th
er side with some adhesive substance,
was placed over the eyehole and press
ed down. In brief, the artificial eye
was worn outside the socket and,
though q clumsy substitute, was prob
ably appreciated by the Romans and
Egyptians. In the ruins Of POmpeii,
destroyed in 20 a. D., an eye Of this
description was discovered.
Not until the sixteenth century do
we hear Of eyes at all like those of
today-that is, worn inside the socket
A French surgeon, one Ambrose Pare,
invented three artificial eyes. One con-
sisted Of an oval plate covered with
soft leather, on which an eye was
painted. It was attached to the head
by a strong steel band. 1t could have
been neither slightly nor comfortable.
The second device and the first known
in history to be worn inside the socket
consisted Of a hollow globe of gold
deftly enameled. The third eye devised
by this ingenious gentleman was
shell pattern eye, much like that in.
use today, except that it was Of gold
and enamel.
Pare's inventions were followed by
eyes of painted porcelainS and colored
pearl white, which became very pop
ular. They were succeeded by eyes Of
glass, which soon took the place of all
others and command popular favor to
this day.
Glass eyes were invented at ut the
year 1879 and were crude productions
of inferior workmanship, the iris and
pupil being hand painted in a far
from lifelike manner. Shakespeare
mentions glass eyes in king Lear"
where the king advises the blinded
traitor Gloucester 10 get thee glass
eyes and seem to see"

BOND, MISS.


Bond, Miss. Mar. 29.-The Bank of

DER very favorable circumstances.

confidence of the business public and
we predict a bright future for it. The
officers are. f. w. FOOte, of HattieS-
burg, president; E. NJ. Cowart, NJ.

our town and think he will be quite
an addition in a social as well as a
commercial way.
We had quite a rain storm yester-
day about 6 p. m. which did some
damage to young vegetables and this
combined with the late freeze, which
we think killed all the fruit, makes
things look a bit gloomy for the fruit
ana truck gardeners.
Quite a numbc- of prominent citi-
zens visited Jackson, Miss, the state
capital yesterday. for the purpose OF
using their influence for the passage
by the state senate. of a bill which
has already passed the house Great
ing a new circuit court district out
o. the northern portion of this liar
risonD county. We need something
OF the kind. as it seems the county
court is about a year behind with the
criminal docket and viOlatOrs are
going untried. But while we need
the second district, we think it but
fair and equitable for the whole
county to bear the expense of Great
ing and eQuipping the district and
not the tax payers of the new district
alone.
We are having a nice little polite
al race between R. E. Cassebry, Of
Virgins, ana w. D. Evans, of Bond,
for justice Of the peace to fill the I'M
expired term of E. r. Davis, resigned.
POth are good men and nothing can

Good Tonics For Swine.

9l one of its bulletins the Arkan-
sas station says that it is necessary
to keep accessible to hogs some
material that supplies lime and salt
to aid in BODYBUILDING, as an appe-
tizer, and to remove intestinal para
sites. This mixture should be kept
in strong box protected from rain,
and the quantity and frequency with
which pigs will visit and eat of the
mixture will often be surprising. The
following is the mixture that was
used: Charcoal, one and one-half
bushels; common salt, four pounds;
hard wood ashes, ten pounds;
Stacked lime, four pounds; fresh
water, shade in summer, grain food
when on grass. and dry bed free
from dust; shelter in winter, and
when confined an area sufficiently
large so that it will not become foul
with droppings and mud bugs. These
are essentials for successful hog
raising.

Care Of Sheep.

Sheep should be turned out every
pleasant day for exercise and fresh
air. Do not expect them to get a
living from the frost-bitten grass
that they may find, as a little of it
will not hurt them and may do them
good, but it cannot be nourishing
food. A few oats, a little bran, and
If their roughage is of inferior quail
ity a little cornmeal every day will
do them good, helping them to bring
better lambs and grow more wool.
Plenty of water where they can go
to it as they please, for when on dry
feed they lille to drink little and Of
ten, and they want it always clean.
A sheep will go long without water
rather than to drink that which is
not clean. Give them bedding
enough to keep their sheds dry and
clean, and plenty of pure air. Cold
does not hurt them when they have
on their winter coats, but keep them
dry, with the fleece free from rain
or snow. IF there are any weakly.
ones separate them and give better
feed for a time. Allow no tcrowding
through narrow gates or DOORS

A Pet Wild Turkey.

In most communities there are
certain persons who possess peculiar
characteristics, habits and beliefs,
and this is true of the long shore
sportsman of the old mother State
as of persons dwelling elsewhere.
Many of the old-time sportsmen
still carry and use their muzzle-load-
ing guns, which cannot be displaced
by more modern arms. They usually
manage to bag a good many birds
and other game, and this is chiefly
due, it is believed, to their knowl-
edge of the habits of the game. They
seldom go out without finding some
thing.
A story is told of one gunner who
if any of the shot should fall from
his hands while loading his gun
will at once return home and make
no further eiort TO hunt that day,
believing, a. ''e says, that those lost
were his luck shot, and it would be
useless for him to continue the hunt.
Another, whom I call here Cap
tain Pets," is a sailor and all-'round
sportsman. He loves to tell of his
adventures with his dogs and gun,
and is seldom seen without them.
He tells many stories about the ac-
curacy of Sweet Lips, his gun, and
declares he can beat any man "a
shooten for a turkey in the United
States of Virginny."
On the occasion of turkey hunt
near the Rappahannock River, Cap
tain Peter claims to have shot for
ty-pound wild turkey for which he
was offered 81 cash. The gray whis-
kers on the turkeys breast were eigh-
teen inches long, md he had one
wooden leg. Here Captain Pete gives
Ia laugh that could be heard a half
mile away "Sar, he was the biggest
turkey in the bunch of us, and four
| others besides, and all ate g sumptu-
Gus meal from one-half of his
breast"
Uncle Pete says he cannot account
| for that one wooden leg unless that
turkey has been previously owned by
{ some one as pet wild turkey

Ground the Whole. Corn.

At the Wisconsin station expert
ments were held to determine the
comparative value Of whole and
ground corn for fattening pigs. On
an average 105 pigs required SIS
pounds of feed per pound of gain
on ration of dry shelled corn and
middlings, as compared with AS
pounds required by an equal number
on a ration of corn meal and mid
dlings. In other words, there was
"a saving Of thirty-six pounds OF
feed for each 100 pounds of gain
made by the hogs. This shows a
gain by grinding the corn to meal
of 80 per cent, or, say, seven per
cent. in round numbers. While the
direct advantage from grinding corn
to meal was about seven per cent,
in these experiments there was a
second advantage secured in that
the hogs getting corn meal made
more rapid gains than those fed
shelled corn"

Use of Coal Ashes.

While coal ashes contain no fer
tilizing value they are certainly use
full on the farm and should be saved.
They are not entirely valueless in
the soil, for they will materially as
sist in making a stiff clay soil more
workable if well mixed with it. The
best use for coal ashes, however, is
in the filling in of wet spots. sitting
them and using the fine ashes in the
dust boxes in the poultry houses and
the coarser portions for the making
of walks alone or mixed with gravel.
They may be used to advantage as
a mulch around trees mainly for the
purpose of keeping the soil moist
and keeping the grass from growing
around them.

has a certain feminine delicacy Of
touch, but we are told that he is a

truly marvellous, and we have no hest
tation in saying that he is infinitely
the greatest child pianist we have ever
heard. He is as marvellous a per-
former upon his instrument as Mischa

time after the Overland Limited left.
The motor car gained on the train to
such an extent that at Fremont, forty

was not maintained; however, the total
