ARTIFICIAL EYES.
they Were Made by the Ancient Ro.
mans and Egyptians.

1t is not exactly known when and
where artificial eyes first came into
use. But this much is certain, that
in ancient times Egyptian and Ro-
man priests, who practiced medicine
and surgery, could make artificial
eyes as well as artificial hands, arms
and legs. In Egypt they knew this
art as early as 500 B. c.
The method of these eye manu-
facturers was very simple. In the
midst of a flesh colored piece of
cloth, one and one-half to two and
one-quarter inches in size, piece of
clay of the natural size of the hu-
man eye was attached and so paint
ed over as to represent the eye and
its lid. This piece of cloth was fix
ed over the socket of the closed eye
by means of an adhesive substance
However primitive these eyes, they
were highly valued and were worn
by the Egyptians and Romans. An
eve of this kind was found in the
ruins of Pompeii.
The first known mention of mod
ern artificial eyes-i. e., eyes worn
within the sockets contained in
a rare illustrated work published by
the French surgeon Pare in 1861
Pare invented three kinds of artii-
cial eyes. The first consisted Of a
thin metal band placed around the
head of the wearer. One end was
provided with small oval plate
covering the socket, the other end
being fastened to the back of the
head. The plate was covered with
soft, smooth leather, on which an
eye was painted. Pare's second in
vention consisted of an enameled
hollow golden ball in the shape Of
an eve worn within the socket. The
third was an eye in shape like that
worn today. but made of gold and
enamel. These eyes were, of course,
very costly, and only the wealthy
could afford to avail themselves of
them.
Later eyes were made of porce-
lain, which, on account of their
cheapness, soon became very popu-
lar. Glass eyes were invented in
1879. Already in Shakespeare's
time they were the finest products
of primitive manual skill. Still,
compared to them, the glass eyes Of
today, though manufactured by me-
chanical means, are veritable works
of art.-New York Tribune.

Must Be Consistent.

In one of the police courts the
other day there appeared before the
magistrate a certain old Irishwo-
man who has been a continual Of
fender for years, her besetting sin
being the flowing bowl. The court
failed to treat her as an old ac-
quaintance until she calmly an
nounced her age at thirty; then he
stopped her.
"See here, Mary" he said, you've
been coming here for ten years, and
all that time you have given your
age as thirty years. I won't stand
it any longer. Why do you do it?"
''Sure, your honor" was the quick
reply, 81 wouldn't be after telling
you one story at one time and an
other next time. 'Twouldn't sound

THE SUPERIOR JUDGE.

The question of the superior judge
ship has narrowed down to contest
between Mr., Garfield and Mr. Pick
rell.
Mr.. Neill has made no effort to get
votes, because he recognized two fact
ors which were against him, and which
he could not overcome. One was the
fact that the people are not educated
to the Importance of a non-partizan
judiciary, and the leaders of the demo-
cratic and republican party commenced
early in the campaign to draw party
lines for the purpose of engthen ing
their respective parties in the fall ell
ection, but over and above this was
the intense fear manifested by a large
majority of the voters throughout the
county that if the votes were too much
scattered j. w. Mathews might be
elected and thus thrust upon the people
another Mcdonald administration of
the courts. While perhaps majority
of the voters recognize in Mr.. Neill
the best qualified man for the position,
yet because he had no organization be-
hind him the people were afraid that
he would not be elected, and that it
might be necessary to concentrate the
vote on some of the others so as to be
sure to defeat Mathews. If the people
had known two weeks ago what they
do now, viz, that Mathews would not
be factor in the race and that there
was no more danger of his being elect
ed than if he had not filed his declara-
ton, Mr.. Neill would undoubtedly be
the leader today. In Pullman and vi
cinity Mr.. Neill would have had a
clear majority over all had it not been
for this fear of Mathews
AS it now stands. Garfield will lead
in Pullman, Pickrell will be close
second, Neill third, and Mathews will
bring up the rear with not to exceed
fifty votes. This is the Herald's fore
cast based on conservative poll after
thorough canvass of the votes in the
three wards.

Baby Goes A. shopping.

"Did you ever see anything like
that ?" exclaimed woman standing
by the lace counter in a department
store when she watched a mother
pick up young, wide awake baby,
which was done up like a bundle
and which lay with purchases upon
the counter Only its little head
stuck out, and no one would have
imagined the roll was alive until
one beheld the funny little face,
puckered up and framed in wooden
wrappings. As the mother walked
away she carried her spoils thus !:
Baby on the left arm; shopping bag,
filed, in the left hand; several bun
dies in the crook of her right ell
bow; long but thin pocketbook in
two fingers of the right hand. And
such is woman. She seemed happy.

FIRE DESTROYS RosALlA BLOCK.

Rosalia, Wash. Aug. 3O.-Rosalia's
new fire fighting apparatus was called
into service this morning at 80 o'clock
and in a few minutes saved many
times its cost to the town. Fire was
discovered in the two-story corrugated
iron building on the southwest corner
of Railroad and Sixth streets owned
by Joseph Schulthies of Metaline and
occupied by Shindler & Hoagland of
the Rosalia Transfer e. Storage COM
pany. The lower floor was filled with
horses at the time, but all were saved.
A number of vluable buildings were
threatened by the flames. The entire
upper story of the building was de-
stroyed, together with a quantity of
hay and feed stuff. The damage to
the building is estimated at $500, COW
cred by insurance. Shindler and Hoag-
lands loss is $500, with no insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

of an average of $1,000 per year in re-
ceipts for the past SIX years, but dur

been S9l1 over the same period of last

From the name of Robert D'Oy-
ley originated the word dolly. A
grant of land was given to him in
the reign of William of Normandy
on condition that he should give
yearly tablecloth of at least 8
shillings value at the feast of St.
Michael. According to the custom
of the times, the women of his fami-
ly were skillful with the needle and
felt great pride in embroidering
their quit rent tablecloths." In
time these cloths came to be valua-
bic and were used as napkins at the
royal table. They were called
"D'Oyleys."

The Odor of Sanctity,

When in days gone by one honor
ed in the church died it was Gus
tomary to burn sweet smelling in
cense in the death room as a token
that the memory of the deceased
was grateful to God and man. AS
early as the time of Homer it was
customary to wash the bodies of the
more illustrious dead with rosewa-
ter, and in Egypt the practice also
obtained from an early date; hence
the expression "the odor of sancti-
ty."

nal punter and half back VINO did so
much to win last November's contest

Fenton was elected assistant coach lasts

be of great assistance in developing a

culated that he intended to go to Yale
this year was confirmed today, when
FentOn made the announcement TO that

Alameda Hunters Beat
the Old Goat Game
Guide Tries the Trick Once
Too Often and Comes
to Grief

w. j. Rogers and DIR. E. r. Schroe-
der, the we'll known Alameda hunters,
last week broke up the winning combi-
nation of smart Mendocino county
guide who for years had been duping
unsuspecting huntsmen by means of
trained goats. Rogers and Schroeder
put the guide to flight and foiled the
little game, but the best work they did
with their rifles was to shoot the tail
off the goat, which managed to make
his getaway.
1t is an old game. but it was worked
once too often. When Rogers and the
doctor went out with the guide and his
assistant. the latter, at a signal from
the boss, released a goat with hair
antlers. The frightened animal tore az
terrific speed down huge cliff Gen
orally he makes good his escape. but
this time Schroeder managed to get on
his trail, and by doubling up inter
cepted the goat Jon steep pass.
On came the billy with unabated
speed. Schroeder never saw deer act
like that in his life before. and. becom-
ing frightened, fired several times in
the air. This did not stop the goat,
which neatly butted the doctor down
the hill, and the latter had a narrow es-
cape with his life.
In the meantime Rogers charged
down Just in time to take a shot at
the goat, which was beating IL even
faster over the trail. Rogers shot the
tail off the animal, but it managed to
make It's escape unharnted otherwise.
Seeing that the game was up. the guide
and his assistant also escaped. and
now the game wardens are looking for
them.

Policeman Shredder
Best With Rifle

OAKLAND, Aug. 22.-Fred Schroeder
Is the crack rife shot of the Oakland
police department. his score of AZ made
last Wednesday being the highest mark
when the shoot was finished yester-
oSy. Captain Lynch is second on the
list with a score of 80, and Policemen

made So. The best of the other scores
were made by w. Moore, 81; G. Null
holland. 81: Jones. 81; Sergeant Brown,
SO. and Policeman Gilbert, 36.
These scores, in comparison with the
work done by the marksmen who shoot
regularly at the Shell Mound targets
are very good and a first class rifle
team could be found in the depart
ment. The regulars find it extremely
hard TO top the 40 mark in competition
ana an many prizes are won with scores
OF 80, so the policemen can be consid-
cred to have done we'll CAPTAIN Lynch
IS the leading spirit among the marks
men and is enthusiastic over the show
ing made by his men, After the Off
GERS have had little more practice
matches viii be arranged with the
other police departments, and the Ala
neqa blueeoats are already undergoing
training IN contemplation of a match
with the Oakland men. The San Fran
cisco department challenged the Oak
,and policemen some years ago and got
Daoiy beaten, and it is likely that the
first contest will be between the San
Franciscans and Oaklanders.
Captain Lynch has a plan TO organize
revolver teams among the policemen
separating the men into classes ac-
eorClng to their ability with the wea-
pon. The idea is to have the best
shots, those who can make so or better
out of possible rs, shoot among
themselves and the men who average
between so and so will compete to-
gether. As man improves with the
