This lens serves to refract the rays of light. It is composed of a soft material Inclosed in a transparent membrane called the capsule. The loss of transparency, which causes the cataract, may reside in the substance of the lens or in the inclosing capsule, but most oom- moply in the substance of the lens itself. It mav be v.hat is called idiopathic”—that is. due to no ap parent cause—or “t; mmatic, < to direct injury. It may exist from birth, but most commonly comes on late in life, at or *fter the age of sixty years, and is caused by some not' yet well understood degener stive change in the lens substance The usual term for this form is “senile cataract,” although the name is not well chosen, i'or often it occurs in individuals otherwise vig orous and giving no other manifest signs of senility. It sometimes occurs in those suf fering from Bright’s disease or dia betes, but more commonly afflicts those who are otherwise seemingly in perfect Health and who present so other signs of malnutrition. Heredity seems sometimes to be an active cause of the opacity of the lens, but how it acts is as great a mystery as many other facts of the hereditary transmission of personal characteristics or of tendency to disease. It may indeed be that heredity has no part in the causa tion of the disease, and its suc cessive appearance in parent and child may be a mere coincidence. Both eyes are usually simultane ously affected, although the disease may occasionally be more advanced in one eye than the other, find rare ly one eye alone may be affected. In the latter case, however, the cat aract is more commonly due to acci dent. Operation for the relief of this condition is usually not undertaken until the cataract is “ripe”—that is, until the loss of transparency affects the entire lens. A person with rimple cataract is blind only so far as the distinction of objects is con cerned, but still retains the percep tion of light. If the sufferer is un able to d:~tin<ruish between lighi and dark Less, there is some othei disease present. There fit three kinds of opera tion for t!-.* lief of cataract, but this is ivo‘ place to discuss their relative tm-uts.

One That Essayed the Roles of Laun dress and Cook. Monkeys are the most imitative of the lower animals, and some very funny stories are told of their pranks. Occasionally they get them selves into trouble by their propensi ty for doing what they see people do and then get well punished for their mischief. A story is told of a pet monkey owned by a lady living in London that, seeing the maM wash ing the laces of her mistress one day, obligingly offered to help her. Being angrily repulsed by the maid, the monkey withdrew at a safe dis tance, and after giving the girl a good scolding in monkey chatter for her rudeness ha started out to see what he oenld find an his own ac count in the way of laundry week. Relating the story, tbs lsoy whs owned the monkey said: “Unfortunately the wind—sn ef my roost were mntanjj anaa, and he entered with the idea eFtbe wash ing sttiLD—h' in his head, fie seen diaowveift tssa email il—si —a- lahrmy iam, ilMnir and haedker- dhkefs.

A Bus® Which Roused Lord "Dudley and Formed a Friendship. One of the earls of Dudley, who vna aflfliptgri to the practice of think! g aloud, found himself in a very aw.;- ward predicament on a certain oc vi sion. He was to spend the evening it the house of a friend and ordered i.is carriage early, as he had a long drive back to his own home. When the hour arrived the carriage was not forthcoming. Seeing that Lord Dudley was considerably anr.uy- •d by the delay, one of the guests, whose way homeward lay past his lordship’s house, politely offered him a seat in his carriage. The gentleman was almost a stranger to Lord Dud ley, but the offer was accepted. The drive did not prove a very socia ble one. Lord Dudley took his seat and immediately reiapsed into silence, his thoughts apparently engrossed by some unp.easant subject Presently be began to speak in a low but distinctly audible tone of voice, and his compan ion, to his astonishment heard him say: “I’m very sorry I accepted his offer. I don’t know the man. It was civil certainly, but the worst Is I suppose I must ask him to dinner.” Silence followed this bit of audible thinking. His lordship was unaware that he had betrayed his thoughts and was probably still meditating upon the —me unpleasant subject when the voice of his companion broke the sttll- n—s. Apparently this stranger was afflict ed with the same malady from which his lordship suffered, for he exactly Imitated Lord Dudley’s tone as he said: ’Perhaps he’ll think I did it to make his acquaintance. Why, I would have done the same to any farmer on his estate. I hope he won’t ask me to din ner, for I shan’t accept his Invitation.” Lord Dudley’s abstraction was all gone. He listened to the other’s words, Immediately comprehending the joke against himself, and frankly offered his hand to his companion, making many apologies for his involuntary rudeness. The stranger proved magnanimous, and from that night the two became fast friends. m bf 5 THE TAXIDERMIST. He Stretches Animal Skins Over Plas ter of Paris Forms. Recently a prominent taxidermist of St Louis was taking a party of visit ors through his establishment He had some very rare specimens of big game fish, both of the sea and river, besides large collection of birds ef every clime abont the walls. “Is that stuffed, too?” asked a lady, indicating the lifelike form of a small pet dog which sat motionless upon the hearth. The taxidermist frowned and return ed very Indignantly: Madam, we do no stuffing here. We stretch our hides over plaster of pads forms. The day of stuffing is past, and no up to date establishment does it.” The party was taken npstairs, through the rooms where the real taxi dermy is done. The;/ had expected to see hides being crammed full of saw dust, shavings and perhaps hair. No such thing was seen, however, and in place of this were men and boys mold ing out the forms of deer, antelope, fish and other kinds of animals in the smooth white piaster. This is done very much in the came way as the terra cotta cornices are molded to grace the corners of buildings. The hides after going through the cleaning process are stretched tightly over the plaster form, which indeed Is more lasting than the old fashioned manner of stuffing them. Even specimens of fish are treated in this manner,” resumed the taxider mist, “and you may easily see' how a skin weaM retain its shape a great deal lesger ever tire hard, smooth sur face of the plaster than if a softer ma terial were crammed 1st® it, , which if improperly done will bulge and last but a short time:”—Exchange.
