In New York the principal sources of supply are sail might be ltuagiueu, tu? supply is precarious. Eye stones are analogous in some i respects to besoars, as tney are a concentration found in the stomach of the European crawfish. Most of the genuine eye stones, crab's eyes, crabstones or lapilli cancrorum, are procured in the province of Astrak han in European Russia. There appears to De some confus-. Ion regarding the nature of the eye stone, for some authorities speak of it as a concentration in the stomach of a certain crab and others as of a peculiar shell formation which is separated from the crab at the time it sheds its shell. The so-called crab's eyes are found fully developed at the end of the summer, as the crabs begin to shed their shells. It is noted that these concentrations are absorbed into the stomach of the crab during the shed ding season and there pulverized and absorbed, the dissolved calcareous sub.stance being used, it is supposed, for ? the formation of a new shell. When these calcareous shells are not normally developed and absorbed Ifr is observed that the shedding process is interrupted and the crab dies an early death. A Unique Historical Clialr.

McCormack of Bowling Green, Ky., in conversation with Drs. Brayton Potter and other physicians told a little story of the late Gen sral Benjamin Harrison "During :he civil war." said the doctor, "Col inel Harrison?for he was then Col )nel?was for a time in command at Cowling Green. Many soldiers were -Ick, and he appropriated the hotel >i the place, the Mitchell House, for I i8e as a hospital. Mr. Mitchell , murmured somewhat, but had to Sive way to military necessity, Col onel Harrison assuring him that he should be paid for the use of the house, even though Harrison should have to pay out of his own pocket. The war ended and the years went on. Mr. Mitchell was well to do and presented no claim. Finally, when Harrison became President of the United States, Mr. Mitchell conclud ed to send his bill directly to the President. He did so, and President Harrison sent him his c^eck for the money."
