The tone of good conversation is Gow-
ing or natural; it is neither heavy or
frivolous; it is learned without pedan-
try, lively without noise, polished with
out equivocation. 1t is neither made
up of lectures nor epigrams. Those
who really converse, reason without
arguing, joke without punning, skill
fully unite wit and reason, mAxims and
sallies. ingenious raillery and severe
morality. They speak of everything, in
order that every one may have some-
thing to say; they do not investigate too
closely for fear of wearying; questions
are introduced as il by y-the-by, and are
treated with rapidity: precision leads
to elegance, each one giving his opinion,
and supporting it with few words. No
one attacks wantonly another's opinion;
no one supports his own obstinately.
They discuss in order to enlighten them
selves, and leave off discussing when
dispute would begin; every one gains
information, every one recreates him.

Tho first gas8 factory in America was
erected in Ib00 near Jamestown, Va,
and the secoId followed in the same
colony twelve years later. In 1859 some
acres Of ground were granted TO glass
men in Salem Mass, probably the first
years of the industry which was prose-
cuted there for many years. The first
glass factory in Pennsylvania was built
near Philadelphia in 1853. under the
direction of William Penn, but it did
not prove successful, The first glass
factory west of the hlleghenies was set
up by Albert Gallat.n and his associates
in 1855, at New Geneva, on the Monon-
gahela river. A small factory was
established on the Ohio river, near
Pittsburg, in 1880, and another in 1895.
The earlier attempt failed, the later
was quite successful. In 1910 there were
twenty-five glass factories in the coun-
try, with an annual product valued at
$l,O47, goo. There are now about five
times as many factories, producing
eight times as much glass. According
to the returns received under The recent
census. our flint glass factories turn ont
2l0, 554 tons of table and other glass
ware; and the window glass works pro-
duee 3,6ii, ,l4O boxes. The total value
of the product is nearly Si45 10000.

Convict Life.

Joe Coburn, the pugiiist, is an aristo-
crat. He occupies the place of ''deputy's
waiter a part OF his duties is to APP
ply the paddle to refractory conviets.
Joe's physical development enables him
to WELD the instrument of correction
with salutary effect. Coburn looks after
the Office of the deputy agent, or head
keeper, but his task is an easy one ON
the whole. The lawyers are looked up
on as "great men by the prisoners and
words from their lips find endless rope-
tition among the other prisoners. Stone,
one of the famous Canastota ''fire bugs"
is pointed out as prominent con-
vict. He is keen, perceptive man, and
exerts great influence over the mon.
He is at present serving in the capacity
of chaplain's waiter. King, lawyer
from New York, a life man." is shrewd
but deceitful. The prisoners respect
him, but at the same time are distrust-
full of him. "Dan" Kelly, the bank
robber, once escaped from Auburn
prison, and is now carefully watched.
On account of his escape he is the idol of
the convicts, although he will have
nothing to do with them. ..-Syracuse

Not Yet.

Not Yet.
The days glide by on winged ieet,
A river flowing broad and fleet;
Thy face from mine is turned away,
1t will not be SO, dear, alway,
Thy heart would fain its love forget,
Il cannot yet, dear love, not yet.
l stand outside iast-closed door,
Against me closed forevermore;
Yet parts of us neither bolt nor bar,
Who are 30 near and yet so far,
Oh heart that would its love forget
And cannot yet, dear love, not yeti
hear thy voice, SO soft and low,
And silent tears unbidden flow;
While yet its music fills the air,
pass and breathe a silent prayer.
My heart would fain its love forget
And cannot, dear love, not yet.
One step-and by thee could stand,
And touch thy dear familiar hand;
One look-and upon thy breast
Would lean, and weary, find my rest.
Poor heart that tain would love forget
Aud cannot yet, dear love, not yet.
The word-and might raise again
My face to thine, and meet thy gaze;
And with no word thy heart should read,
That love is all n woman's need.
Dear heart, wouldst thou thy love forget
Thou canst not yet, dear love, not yet.
II eer thy soul hath need OF mine,
II e'er the truth thou canst divine,
Seas will not part, non bolt nor bar,
We shall be near, who now are far.
True hearts that iain would love forget
And cannot yet, dear love, not yet.

A correspondent of the FttHcier's
Chronicle sends the following: Holm
wood, near Manchester. was the scene
of q rather novel rat-killing match the
other day, between Mr.. Benson's fox
dog, Turk, and Mr.. Lewis, monkey, for
S25 The conditions of the match were
that each one had TO kill twelve rats,
and the one that finished them the
quickest to be declared the winner. 1t
was agreed that Turk YVES to finish his
twelve rats first, which he did, and in
good time too, many bets being made on
the dog after he had finished them.
After few minutes had elapsed, it now
came the monkeys turn, and commo-
tion it caused. Time being called,
the monkey was immediately put to his
twelve rats, Mr.. Lewis, his owner, at
the same time putting his hand in his
coat pocket and handing the monkey
peculiar hammer. This was q surprise
to the outlookers; but the monkey was
not long in getting to work with his
hammer, and once ut work he was not
long in completing the task set before
him. You may talk about dog being
quick at rat-killing but he is. really not
in it with the monkey and his hammer.
Suffice it to say, the monkey won with
ease, having time to spare at the finish.
Many persons present thought the mon
key would worry the rats in the same
way as dog; butthe conditions said to
kill, and the monkey killed with ven
gence, and won the S25, besides lot OF
bets for his owner,

Rats In a Church.

The English parish church Of Thirsk
has been infested with bats. Various
means have been tried to rid the editice
OF the pests, but with little success until
a short time ago, when an owl was
placed in tine church. If the owl did
not destroy them he had the effect of
compelling them to keep very close
quarters. A few months ago the bats
did damage to the pipes of the new or
gan. They entered at the wide end, and
the pipes being narrow at the bottom,
found themselves unable to get back.
AS many as eight dead bats were found
in single pipe.
Trichine are by no means confined TO
pork. Two French soldiers died lately
of trichinosis contracted by eating the
flesh of geese. DR.. Glendenning has de-
tected the dangerous parasites in a pike
caught near Ostend.

Recently complaints have been made
to the French authorities that oleomar.
garine butter has been substituted for
the genuine article III the asylums OF
Paris. The Paris Academy of Medicine
has made yigorou' Investigation, under
an order from the government. The
report of the committee is against the
use of margarine in the asylums, and
is also adverse to its general use as a
substitute for butter. The margarine
as originally prepared is no longer an
object of commerce, being too dear.
That which is acJually in use is an in.
dustrial product open to various frauds.
Vegetable oils are especially introduced,
and if it is easy to decide by chemical
analysis whether given product con-
sists of butter or margarine, it is very
difficult to affirm whether this mar
garine is pure or mixed with oils, and
vegetable oils are known to be mora
difficult of digestion than animal fats.

giomerate OF peanut oil, diluted milk,

Two stalwart men were working at
night in Chicago freight yard. Each
had large kerosene lamp. A quarrel
arose between them which ended in a
fight. The lamps were used as weapons,
and were speedily broken over the
heads of the contestants. The oil ran
over them and caught fire, but neither
would let go his hold, and they con.
tinued the struggle with their bodies
enveloped in a flame, until both were
disabled by burning. One died imme-
diately, and the other lived only a few
hours.

Three enormous steamers intended for
the Atlantic trade are now building on
the river Clyde-one each for the Gu
nard, the Inman, and the Guion lines.
The Cunard liner will have tonnage OF
$500, and an indicated horsepower oi
10000. The Guion liner will be $500
tons and 10000 horsepower. The In.
man liner, the City of Rome, will be the
largest and most powerful steamer
ahoat, excepting the Great Eastern, her
tonnage being $500, with engines OF
10000 horsepower. II is expected that
these three steamers will be capable OF
attaining 9 speed Of seventeen knots an
hour under favorable circumstances,
thus rendering the voyage between Liv-
erpool and New York, or vice versa,
under seven days.

Does Not Grasp the Subject.

Memphis Avalanche.
The Nicksburg Herald fails to grasp the
point Of the recent decision of the supreme
court, IN connection with Democratic prin-
ciple.. Or, in other words, the Avalanche
failed to state its point clearly. What the
Avalanche desired TO say was, that the law
declared constitutional by Republican SUI
preme court, would be declared unconstitu-
tlonat by Democratic supreme court. y
publican administration constituted a
Republican supreme Court. A Democratic
administration will constitute Il Democratic
supreme court. When the Democrats were
in power more than 20 years ago the Re-
publcans appealed from the decision OF a
Democratic supreme court to the ballot box
and reversed that decision. Democrats now
will appeal from the election law decision
of Republican supreme court to the ballot
box. Justice Field of the minority lay
down the Democratic platform. If the posi-
ton of the Herald is correct, that Democrats
must cease opposition to law after law
has been pronounced constitutional by the
supreme court, the entire Democratic posi-
ton is surrendered, and Democrats may as
well vote for Grant or Blaine, as for Bayard
or 1ilden. No one pretends to say that
Democrats will not submit and obey the law
so long as as it is the law. But they do not
thereby surrender their convictions, and
they will change the law whenever they po-
sess the power TO change it.
