HEN MISUNDERSTANDING to a DO

of pure glass bearing anything like date is
q little moulded lions head bearing the name
of an Egyptian king of the eleventh dynasty,
in the Slade collection at the British Museum.
That is to say, at period which may be mod
erately placed rs more than two thousand
years b. C., glass was not Oh made, but made
with skill, which shows that the art was moth
| ing new. The invention of glazing pottery
with film of glass is so old that among the
fragments which bear inscriptions of the ear
| ly Egyptian monarchy are beads possibly OF
the first dynasty. OF the latter class there are
numerous examples, such as the head found
at Thebes, which has the name of Queen Hata'
so of Hashep of the eighteenth dynasty. OF
the same period are vases and goblets and
many fragments. Ii can not be doubted that
the story prepared by Phny, which assigns
the credit OF the invention to the PhPnicians,
is so far true that these adventurous merchants
brought specimens from other countries to
Egypt. DR.. Schliemann found disks of glass
IN the excavation at Mycenae, though Homer
does not mention it as a substance known to
him. That the modern art of the glass blower
was known before Is certain from presentations
among the pictures on the walls of a tomb at
Benni Hassan, Of the twelfth Egyptian dynas
ty; but much older picture, which probably
represented the same manufacture, is among
the halfobllterated scenes in chamber of the
tomb of Thy, at Sakkara, and dates from the
time of the fifth dynasty, a time 50 remote that
it Is not possible, in spite of the asslduous re-
searches of many Egyptologers 10 give il a
date IN years.

Attempts At Wit.

Though most of the amusing answers ex.
torted by the cross-examinations of the class
rooms are uttered IN good faith and derive
their comic character from the tact that their
inaccuracy is quite unintentionsl, the college

MY FIRST CIGAR.

One glorious summer day,

And drew and pulled away;
And as the curly smoke arose,
And iloated on the air,
suddenly grew awful sick
II was my first cigar.

Turned almost deathly pale,
And gasped and threw up everything
Fen to my great toe nail;
All what did ! ut such time
For smoking seem to care,
Alas. the trembling tear proclaimed,
II was my first cigar.
I've swallowed gobs OF castor oil,
And took pills by the score;
Been turned and twisted inside out
\ dozen times or more;
But sickness | have never felt,
Which could with that compare,
When in that lonely alley
Ismoked nv first cigar.
