the show 10 Colonel houses apartments,
where Mr. McComb was waiting.
Earlier In the day Mr.. McCombs had an
hours conference with the President-elect
at the University Club. AT which the Will

ance were gone over. The subsequent
conference at the home OF Colonel Housc.
however. led 10 considerable speculation.
and tho opinion was freely INDUCED IN
that Mr.. McCombs had put in some po-
tent argument against the selection or
some OF the men that Mr.. Wilson had in
mind for his official family. II was be-
licved that the later conference al Colo
mel Houses apartments was for the pur-
pose of thrashing over all the names the
President-elect had IN mind with the OBJ
ject of settling the whole thing before he
went back TO Trenton tomorrow.
II was also considered rather significant
that Mr.. McCombs did not go 10 the the

exceeding $50 10000. Governor Sulzer said

Artificial Eyes.

The use of glass for artificial eyes dates back to about 1918. The Greeks in the fourth century before Christ had d false eye which was practically thin band of iron which passed around the head and held n'place thin sheet of metal. covered with d fine skin, on which was painted an. eye with it's eyelids and flashes. About 300 years before Christ a metal shell somewhat like the half of a walnut shell, on which were painted the iris, the pupil and the white of an eye, was forced into the cavity and held very much as our glass eyes are held. The trouble with this older method was the tre- mendous weight of the metal, and, of course, the painting was neces- sarily more or less ghastly. Yet, 30 far as there is any record to show. there was no substantial im- provement in these metallic and painted eyes until within the last century.

SILVER WEDDINGS.
They Had Their Origin In the Reign of Hugues Capet.

Iney f1a0 IneIr OFI9tn In tnS not9u of Husues Capet.
 The fashion of silver weddings dates back to the reign of Hugues Capet. king of France in 98:. Once as lluyucs was arranging his uncle's affairs he found on one of the estates servant who had grown gray in the service of his relative. He had been such q friend of his master that he was almost looked upon as one of the family.
 On the farm with this old man was also serving woman who was as old as he and d so unmarried and who had been the most devoted and hardworking of the women servants of the kings uncle. When the king heard these praises of the two, he ordered them to be brought before him and said to the woman:
 "Iour service is great, greater i than this mans. whose services were great enough, for the woman all ways finds work and obedience hard CT than man, and therefore l will give you reward. At your age 1 know of none better than a dowry and husband. The dowry is here -t1is farm from this time forth be- longs to you. If this man who has worked with you five and twenty years is willing to marry you, then the husband is ready"
 "Iour majesty" suffered the old peasant confusedly, "how is it ] possible that we should marry, hay ing already silver hairs:?"
 '"rhen it shall be silver we'd ding" answered the king, ''and here l give you a wedding ring" drawing a costly ring from his finger and placing the hands of the thankful old people together.
 This soon became known all over France and raised such enthusiasm that it became d fashion after a twenty-five years marriage to cee. brate q silver wedding.
