CHANGE IN COLOR OF EYES
By No Means Uncommon, and Easily
Accounted For, According
to Surgeon.
Tho possibility of a man's eyes
Changing as tho result of mental
shock or physical in treatment was
the subject of an Interesting discus
sion by a number of surgeons in tho
eye ward of one of the great London
hospitals.
One of the surgeons stated: "It Is
common knowledge that great phys
ical hardships may suddenly turn tho
hair white. The loss of color here
follows on certain chemical changes,
duo to disturbances of nutrition, tak
ing place in the tiny particles of
coloring matter which give the hair
its color
"All infants at birth have blue
eyes. In some babies. Immediately
after birth, pigment granules begin to
develop In the Iris. Thus they be
come brown or black eyed. In others,
however, no such pigment formation
takes place, and the eyes remain blue
or gray throughout lifo.
"If this at present blue eyed ex-con
vict is really the missing brown
eyed banker, a reasonahlo explana
tion of the discrepancy In the eye
colorings would be that under tho
atress of physical and mental shock
tho coloring matter which had In
early life developed In each iris had
atrophied or disappeared, leaving tho
eyes tho original blue coloring pres
ent at birth."

"Our likes and dislikes are guided
by the personal equation- whatever
that Is," commented the bachelor.
"Indeed?" (fuelled tho suffragette.
"Yes; the property we buy at a real
c stale forced sale is always the high
est and driest, while the other fellow's
property, we are willing to swear, Is
under water."
"Are you getting ready to argue?"
"No, I'm still unmarried, Mut I
wanted to show how different we all
feel about ourselves and our property
from other people and their property.
You know, 1 have a room In a flat with
young married couple. I have one
there so thai I can observe the mar
tlal?or Is It marital??existence. A
couple of months ago the stork brought
them a baby."
"A boy or a girl?" asked tho suf
fragette revealing a spark of woman
hood; then sie added, quickly, "hut
never mind; It will be a voter, any
way, some day."
"On the floor below us Is another
baby," went on the Bachelor. "Tho
other day the quiet of the house was
disturbed by lusty yelling.
" Is that our little cherub crying?'
asked the mother.
"'No.' the t'.itln r answered; 'It's the
brat downstairs.' "

He was one of those timid, tiny
.i.-ned chaps who become enamored by
mistake, and live in perpetual fear or
a pending engagement ring. He him
self had become enamored of a sweet
and soulful maiden, whose languish

light and fear.
At tho conclusion of his first "call"
she asked:
"When aro you coming again
dear?"
He selzea the wrong hat from tho
rack In 1\Im confusion.
"Kr?what about somo tlmo next
week?" he hazarded
A look of disappointment came Into
the fair one's eyes.
"Next week?" she said. "Yen, that

Of all the things that may befall a
church, nothing could be much strang
er than the destruction of a little
house of worship north of Hudson Bay,
as once reported by Bishop Williams
of Marquette.
He had attended a synod of th<-? Ca
nadian church at Winnipeg, and th"ro
had seen a missionary bishop, who
had been six weeks on the way, hav
ing come most of the distance In a
canoe. The missionary bishop report
ed gravely that the diocese of a broth
er bishop had "gone to the dogs."
Being asked for an explanation, he
said that the Eskimos in -he diocese
had built a church with whales' ribs
for rafters, and covered It with walrus
hide. Tho little church held eighty
persons; but In the time that elapsod
between two services the building was
eet upon by a pack of famished dogs,
and demolished In a few hours.?
