It Is not generally known that panes OF
glass can he c,lt under water with ease to
almost any shape by means of pair of
scissors. Two things, however, are nee
eseary to Orsuccess First. the glass must
be kept quite level In the water while the
SCISSORS are applied and secondly. to
avoid risk, it is hetter to perform the cut
ting by cropping off small pieces at the
corners or along the edges. thus reducing
the form gradually to a proper shape, for
IL any attempt to cnt the glass at once to
proper shape, as one would cut card
board. it will most likely fracture where
It Is NOT wanted. The softer glasses cut
best and the scissors need not be very
sharp. When the operation goes on well,
the glass breaks away from the blade In
small pisces In straight line from the
blades.

being gradually taken up and carried off
by tile absorbents.
Sometimes the serous portion OF the blood
escapes through the pores of the vessels
sufficiently to occasion a similar result.
Free-livers are especially liable to apPo-
plexy. They keep the vessels too full and
the current too strong. More blood al
ways goes 20 the brain than elsewhere its
vessels are particularly weak and as age
approaches. they grow brittle. through a
tendency TO become more or less ossttted.
Besides the vessels OF the brain are subiec-

a tendency to luxurious living. Let them
ahjure their habit in this respect, and prob
ably the sudden strnke which pros.rated q
