One eyed people who can afford it have two glass eyes—one for day, the other for evening use. The reason for this is that the pupil of the eye is smaller in the daytime than at night, and hence the two glass eyes are of different sizes, so as to correspond with the natural eye. The price of glass eyes is becoming cheaper on account of competition, and at the same time the quality is better. A com mon glass eye may be had for £10. but they are not good deceptions and do not hast long. A first class eye costs £.10, or even more. The best will not last over two years, because the secretions in the hollow of the eye roughen the glass by chemical action, and this roughness irri tates the flesh. A glask eye. like false teeth, is taken out, at night, for it would not be safe to go to sleep with it in the cavity. It might drop out, and the slightest fa 11 would break it. If a person could buy glass eyes at wholesale, by the gross, ho could get them for about §2 apiece. Cut he would have to look over a great many before finding one to lit and to match his other eye in size, cob r and expression. Glass eyes-are all made abroad, princi pally in Germany and France, no factory having been started here, although there is a great demand for them in this country. A glass vyo is not made after the sluqx? of a natural eye, because when the latter is taken from the cavity the tissue just back of it presses forward and leaves but little space. The false eye is, therefore, ellip tical in shape. The outer side preserves the natural foum. but the inner side is near flat with rounded edges. It is slightly larger than the natural eye, so that when inseited in the cavity it may not sliy out. At first it irritates the eyo- lidsand the tissue back of the cavity, but the wearer grows accustomed to it and finds it a rest and a protection. A skillful oculist can put a glass eye intotho cavity so that very close observation is necessary to detect it. Not only are the size and color of the natural eye counterfeited, but even the general expression. The oculist has yet to discover means of giving that sympathetic movement which dis tinguishes a pair of eyes. There is quite a large number of people with glass eyes, say one in 400. You would not know it by casual observation, for the wearer of a glass eye is so sensitive on the subject that he is careful of his actions in public, and he becomes so accustomed to the gliiss orb that he can prevent all but in timate friends from discovering his de fect. Science has done better by him than by the man with the wooden limb. —Oculist in Globe-Democrat. AFRICAN “BLOOD BROTHERHOOD. * 1 Salt ii Factor in Building. The American Architect asserts that one of thi> new building materials which is likely to he found useful in many ways is common salt. Among the carpenters salt is now found to houseful as an aid to the heating of glut;. Where, as is usual in joiners’ a cabinet makers’shops, the glue is in . in a jacket kettle, sur rounded by wiiior. it is said to be advis able to put salt m the water in tin* outer kettle. The addition of salt raises the (toiling point, and, therefore, aiiows me glue in the kettle to lie kept at a higher temperature than could be maintained with water alone, and this is advanta geous to the work. The masons find their use for salt in adding it to cemet t mortar in cold weather, to preserve it from the bad effects of freezing. It is not quite clear why the salt should act in this way, as the beneficial results of using it arc visible with mortar which has certainly been frozen, and frozen salt water expands nearly as much as fresh vvater. But engineers and contractors who have tried it are unanimous in their opinion of irs value. In maiiy cases masonry lias been laid in cement in cold weather, using a considerable proportion of salt in the mixture, which after re viewed freezings and thawings has re mained iu perfect condition, while work Hear by laid in mortar of the same kind, but without salt, has been disintegrated hv the frost.—Scientific American. JieYciirre mong tl** Afghans. Bail a!, or revenge, is the soul of Afghan life. All the history of Afghanistan, both public and private, is one continued tale of vendetta. However, it chances that I have not in my collection any song of vendetta illustrating this side of Afghan life in a manner sufficiently character istic to deserve quotation. Suffice it to sav that vendetta is with the Afghans what it is with the Corsicans, the Alba nians. all primitive mountaineers: it is hereditary and not. to he prescribed. Even on.British territory the law is powerless against the bad::!: it is one of the crimes for which* no wiDtoss will be found to speak before the judge hi lcaehehn. There is. hardly an Afgiiaq in t he mountain who lias not a fee who aims at his head and at whose head lie aims. It luipjiens not .seldom that, an Afghan sejxiy from Yag- liistan—many Afghans from over the border enlist in the native contingent— asks for leave for private business: that means that there is up there some wolf's head which he has to take, lhore is a story of an Afghan sepoy, who. having not joined liis paltan in due time, com plained bitterly of tlie iniquity of his officer, who had dismissed him from ser vice: “I had a duty of badal to perform: 1 had n foe to kill. The scamp absconded for weeks; what could 1 do:" lontorn- ]K>niry Review. Bishop Taylor’s Experience wJtli a Sable Potentate— A Solemn Ceremony. In about half ail hour the king came. He was attended by a body guard of 100 soldiers armed for combat. The intro duction was unceremonious, because the two men could not speak a common lan guage. The bishop relieved the situation of any awkwardness by stepping forward quickly and extending liis hand to roy alty, saying as he did so. “I am glad to meet you.” The king received the prof fered hand with dignity, and when the bishop’s words had been translated to him lie responded: “I have heard of the old white man, well digger, long walker, who speaks kind words. Vv hat would the old white man do in Mambalungo? ’ ••I am on my way,” explained the hi hop. "to Malange, where friends will follow me and stay.” "You are welcome to Mambalungo, ’ continued the king. • ‘Vv hy not stay here with us rather than journey on to Malange?” • ‘•I liave many places to visit, O king, hut my friends who will follow mo will visit you You are now at war; when there is peace again you may see much of us.” The answer was well understood by the African, but he made no objection. In a moment he continued: ‘-Tell me what it is that the old white man, well digger, long walker, and his friends would do in this land?’ ’ "Wo come to live among you. to bring you peace and to tell you of many good things. ’ ’ The king was impressed deeply with the idea that the bishop and his friends had come to stay and to work for them selves ujion the soil instead of trading. As he talked with the bishop, he grew to like the old white man more and more, ami at last he said: "We have heard that the men of Kumbua are coming to make war upon us. They lie between here and Malange. You will not venture to continue your journey before we have defeated them and brought about a peace?” "Yes, O king!” replied the bishop. “I shall go on as soon as I can. I am a friend to the people of Mambalungo and their king, but I am also a friend to the Kumbuans and their king likewise. There is no danger for me from them any more than there is danger from you. There is One above me to guard and pro tect me.” "The white man’s God is indeed very powerful.” assented the king, gravely, "and the white man speaks bravely and frankly. None other would I permit to pass from our town to the army of the Kumbuans. I believe you are my friend and I will show you that I am yours.” He thereupon summoned his chief lieu tenant. and after a brief talk with him sat down on the floor of the hut and beckoned the bishop to sit beside him. The lieutenant, then did some talking, the purport of which was that the king de sired to cement the friendship he had formed for the white man by having the ceremony of blood brotherhood per formed upon them. The bishop con sented, although he knew little of the ceremony. The lieutenant produced a sharp point ed knife, highly polished, which he touched upon his tongue, whether to test its sharpness, after the manner of bar bers, or to give proof that it was not poisoned the bishop could not lie certain. Then, standing up before the king and the bishop, he made an impressive ad dress, which the bishop learned later was about the relation^ that ought to main tain between brothers. Then he knelt by the king, who raised his robes slightly so as to disclose his leg bare to the knee. The lieutenant pricked the calf with the point of his knife, so that a few drops of blood ran. He caught them in liis left hand and turned to the bishop, who, comprehending the situation, rolled liis trousers part way up his legs. The lieu tenant made a similar incision upon the bishop's calf and caught the dropping blood in the same hand that held the king’s blood. Then he stood up again and rubbed the palms of liis hands to gether, so that the blood was thoroughly mixed, after which he spatted both hands violently upon the ground, nibbing off all traces of the blood with dust,- saying as lie ditl so: "Let a dragon spring forth from the mingled blood upon the ground and de stiny him who shall first break the ties of brotherhood here formed.” ‘ The king arose, reached out his hand to the bishop, who extended his own hand, and they shook^solemnly, and the ceremon v was over. rrotiel's Pliilosonlry.

V The First Petroleum Lamp. The petroleum industiy in tlie United States dates from the "fifties,” the first sale of American oil taking place in 18^4, but Abraham Schreiner, by documents in the archives in Vienna, produced illu minating oil as early as 18o3. He owned a piece of land in Boryslaw, where, in an opening in the earth, he found a bkick, tar like substance which the peasants had used from time immemorial to heal wounds and grease their wagon wheels. Schreiner got tlie idea that the fluid in the clay might be employed in otliei ways. He kneaded a ball from the slime, stuck a wick into it, and it burned brightly with a red flame until the sub stance was exhausted. This was the flrst petroleum lamp. Later, Schreiner heard something of distillation and determined to try a few experiments. He purchased a huge kettle and transformed it into a distilling appa- ratus as well as possible, filled it with the black earth and placed it upon tlie tire to accomplish the distillation. But that happened more rapidly tlian he wished. Tlie petroleum exploded, the kettle was broken into a thousand pieces, and Schreiner's body was covered with scars. Hardly recovered from his wounds, he began his experiments again with a proper apparatus, into the secrets of which an apothecary had introduced Inin. Here he was crowned with better success. He gained a product which re sembled a strongly smelling oil, and pe troleum was found. He tilled a bottle and sold it to a druggist in Dropobyez. That was in the year 1853. Schreiner was, therefore, not only the discoverer of petroleum, but the first who introduced it into commerce.—•Berlin Cor. New York Tribune. John Randolph's Court Presentation. John Randolph, of Roanoke, dressed very eccentrically while he was at home, and his dress during liis mission to Rus sia was hardly more extravagant than that he wore at Roanoke. In writing of it he says: "My dress on presentation to their imperial majesties was a suit of the finest black cloth that London could afford; and with tlie exception of a steel capped sword it was the dress of Mr. Madison during the late convention.” It vv »,<■ irnamented with gold shoe and knee hu. ► -eg, and Randolph says that he was ar a ell dressed as Prince Talleyrand, who was presented at the same time. Josiah Quincy visited Russia some years after this, and in his life there is a story related concerning this presenta tion of John Randolph. Says this au thority: "When he was presented to the empress she put out her hand and Randolph went down on his knees to take it. He wore, however, tight gaunt lets and he did not attempt to get these off before he fell upon his knee. It was contrary to etiquette to touch the lady's bare hand with a gloved hand, and it took him so long to get liis tight glove off that her majesty smiled at his predica ment and the courtiers laughed out aloud.” Randolph soon took his leave of Russia and returned to the United. States. Before he did so lie had a pleas ant interview with the emperor, and he* made a remark which it is said made the- empress laugh most vociferously. He* bowed himself out backward as he left, and "it was lucky,” said he, "that I happened to be near the door.”—Frank G. Carpenter in American Magazine. Americans Eat Too Much Beef. A large | iroportion of our steadfast people, who do not drink at. all, ruin their health by eating. A few years back I took dinner with an old French wine merchant. He had four pints ®f wine set out in the snow, for-it was winter. When it came to the Burgundy I turned my glass down,, saying that it went to my feet. "No,” said the ckl man. "1 drink wine all my life. My father kept a hotel in Switzerland before me. I came to this country a waiter at Delmonico's, and now I am a wine merchant. I have never had the gout in my life, but I never eat meat more than once a day. The Americans eat too much beef. It makes too much blood for them, and that brings on tlie gout.” “What do you eat?” said I. "I eat fish and chicken and birds; light viands. I take veal in preference to beef, as it has less blood in it.” Mr. Bookwalter, of Ohio, who lias been a good deal abroad, some time ago re marked that lie thought the intensity and want of serenity and peacefulness in the American nature was due to its carniv orous habits. Said lie: "I have been studying for soma time the natural his tory of animals, and I notice that those animals which resemble the Americans in their avidity, their leaping at business or breakfast in the same way, are the meat eaters. We are a carnivorous peo ple; and if we confined ourselves more to farinaceous food, herbs and oils and such tilings as liave been approved by antiq uity, we would be a happier race.”— George Alfred Townsend. ws Publications.
