Glass MillstOnes.

The idea of constructing millstones of glass is said to have originated from the observation that the finest flour was pro- duced by those millstones which have the most glassy texture; from this ob- servation came an experiment which demonstrated that pieces of glass com bined in the same way as the French buhr, and similarly grooved on their surfaces, gave better results in grinding than the buhr millstone. The outcome of this successful experiment was the invention of the glass millstones now used in Germany with much satisfaction. Respecting their special merits, they grind easily and do not heat the flour as much as is the case with the French buhr-stones. In grinding grist they run perfectly cold. In making these stones, the glass is cast in blocks of suitable size and shape, joined with cement in the same way as the French buhrs, dressed and furrow-cut with picks and pointed hammers.

PETERSON told the St. Louis news paper reporters that he had been knocked down at the door of his residence by three strangers, who carried him of, kept him a prisoner' several days, and finally set him adrift in boat on the Mississippi River. He was 8 prosperous and respected merchant. Still, the re- porters did not believe his story, and have learned by investigation that there was hardly word of truth in 1t. His motive for the falsehood is 8 mystery.
 Or THE KIND of nobility that exists only in name, France, like Poland and Italy, seems to have supply sufficient to meet the demands for years to come, of American girls ambitious to support some impecunious count, and to live in titled unhappiness. Here is sample advertisement from Paris paper "An honorable English lady, married to @ French nobleman, is we'll acquainted with three dukes, four marquises, and five counts, belonging to the highest French nobility, who are desirous to marry English or American ladies having enough income to keep up high rank in the St. Germain society of Paris The titled persons in question are from thirty to sixty years old. They do not require titled ladies, but honorable ones. The same English lady can procure the title of a marquis and the title of a count to gentlemen of fortune, aged from thirty to thirty two or thirty five, if they con- sent to marry the young ladies who, by contract, can give that title to them selves and to their descendants. The greatest discretion is promised and will be observed. Apply, during fortnight to Post Restante, etc."

An Honest Tailor.

You have all doubtless heard, or read of the carpenters apprentice who, when asked by the man for whom they were at work, how much longer his master would be engaged on that job, honestly replied: "That will depend, sir, upon when he gets another p A case of still more sterling honesty, because the ad- mission was by the principal himself, is that of the poor country tailor, of whom the following story is told:
 A gentleman went to him to be meas ured for 8 suit of clothes, and when the measure had been taken, he asked how much cloth would be necessary to the work. He was told twelve yards. Think ing this rather exorbitant, he visited another tailor, who told him he could make the same suit from eight yards of cloth. Highly indignant, the gentleman went back to the first knight of the shears and thimble, and asked him what he meant by such an assertion.
 "You told me, sir, that you must have twelve yards of cloth from which to make me suit of clothes. There Is tailor at the other end of the town who sayshe will make it from eight yards"
 "Indeed, sir" cried poor Snip, be- seechingly, eff you will let me make them, will require only seven yards. :"
 "In mercy's name!" exclaimed the customer, in astonishment, "what do you mean? First, you ask me for twelve yards of broadcloth then your neighbor says he will require only eight yards i; and now you declare that you will do the same work with seven. do not con- prehend."
 "Ah, sirI' replied the tailor, with honest emotion, "my neighbor has only two children to feed and clothe, while I have six; so you see, sir, he could, Tn the outset, afford to make you the best offer "

Old MT. LeWis's Life.
SKETCH OF THE AUTHOR OF FAMOUS
 WILL.

A Philadelphia paper says: The fol- lowing history of the Lewis will case is interesting now since the Government gets the bequest. Joseph l.. Lewis was 8 native of Jamaica, West Indies; Jane Wright, 8 mulatto woman, was his mother; Joseph Levy, @ Jew, was his father. The latter brought him to the United States, where he lived under the name of Joseph Lewis, and then Joseph l.. Lewis. Jane Wright and other chil- dren, and one of them, Frances Grace Lewis, is mentioned in his will. All his half sisters and brothers he remembered, as we'll as his nieces and nephews, but he was not proud of his African blood, and was careful to keep his relation with these mulattoes secret. He never married. He manifested special interest in his "nephews by courtesy" as he called the Cathcarts, whose mother was his illegitimate half sister. His benefac- tions to them began in 1883, and con- tinued until his death in 1877. Lewis be- queathed to the United States Govern ment the bulk of his property, about I, ,000, ,O00, toward paying off the nation al debt. His illegitimate relatives and others contested the will His "nephew by courtesy" John s. Cathcart, and Joshua Benson, friend, who received a bequest in the will, which was revoked in the codicil, were the principal persons to set up claims and have the will set aside. They alleged insane delusion" on the part of Lewis. In 1861 Lewis gave Cathcart $1O,OOO in trust for the benefit of his Oewis's) blood relations in Jamaica, West Indies, and afterward be- ieving, or pretending to believe, that Cathcart was not administering the trust faithfully, he demanded and received back the money. His hard feeling to- ward Cathcart increased, and his name was not mentioned in the will. Benson was given a bequest, but Lewis, believ- ing that the man was not sincere friend, revoked it in a codicil. Chan cellor Runyon decides that the will and codicil are valid, and orders it to be ad- mitted to probate.

4 SONG.

IS any one sad in the world, wonder? Does any one weep on day like this, With the sun above, and the green earth under Why, what is life but dream of bliss? With the sun, and the skies, and the birds above me
 Birds that sing as they wheel and fly With the winds to follow and say they love me- Who could be lonely? no, not I! Somebody said, in the street this morning, As opened my window to let in the light, That the darkest day of the world was dawning But looked, and the East was gorgeous sight. One who claims that he knows about it Tells me the Earth is vale of sin; But l, and the bees, and the birds-we doubt it. And think it world worth living in Some one says that hearts are fickle,
 That love is sorrow, taht life is care, And the reaper Death, with his shining sickle, Gathers whatever is bright and fair l told the truth, and we laughed together, Laughed till the woods were all airing; And he said to me, as he plumed each feather, Well, people must croak, if they cannot sing. Up he flew, but his song, remaining,
 Rang like bell in my heart all day, And silenced the voices of weak complaining, That pipe like insects along the way. o world of light, and o world of beauty! Where are there pleasures so sweet as thinei Yes, life is love, and love is duty;
 And what heart sorrows? O no, not mine!

A RUSSIAN CATAsTRoPHE.-Ah heuten- ant of the Imperial Guard Artillery re- gently confessed to stern Russian father that he knew something about revolutionary plot. The news so exas- perated the old gentleman that he blew out his sons brains on the spot, and dis charged a second barrel of his revolver in his own breast, inflicting upon himself a mortal wound. Upon entering the house the gendarmes found father and son lying side by side, the former dead and the latter dying. All the members of the household were taken into cus- tody, and among them was discovered the notorious Socialist Jurkowski, whom the Russian police had long sought for in vain. He had arrived at the house with the Lieutenant under false name, and had remained there several days as a guest when the catastrophe led to his detection and arrest.

Why He Got Fired.
BURDETTE TELLS THIS STORY OF FELLOW
 JOURNALIST.

Criswell, on his way home from the office boarded street car which was crowded to the platform, and the tired humorist stood outside with the other people just as though he wasn't rich enough to own street car of his own. The driver was also tired, but not being @ humorist, he was likewise cross, and as soon as he saw Criswell leaning con- fortably up against the brake handle, which alternately punched his back and jabbed his ribs, he roughly ordered him to go inside and hang himself up by one of the unsatisfactory straps. As every strap was occupied by two men, so as water couldn't have passed through the crowd at the door, Criswen said he didn't care to go inside, that he wanted to stand on the platform and look at the scenery. The driver didn't attempt to smother his wrath but ordered the jour- nalist to go inside or get off. Still the man who laughed and made other people laugh, refused to go, and the driver, @ big, bu1ly ruffian, made ready to put him off, and matters began to look serious. The other passengers frightened up with that expression of cheerful and expect ant interest they always assume when there is any prospect of fellow man get ting 8 laundering good licking, and the paragrapher began to think there was every chance in the world for him to be made horrible example of, and he hated the prospect most awfully. Something had to be done, and there wasn't much time in which to do it. The reporters training stood him in good stead. One quick glance through the car showed him there was no one present who knew him.
 "Come, young fellow," shouted the driver, "inside, or I'll bounce you clear across the street"
 Criswell turned on him like flash.
 "My man," he said, with dignifed severity, |" You don't kaao,O aOho / ana, but I've had my eyes on you for several days. There are too many conductors like you on this road, and we are losing friends every day because our patrons are insulted by conductors who are boors and ruffians. Now you can pull the bel cord and let me get off. But you need not take out the car tomorrow; there will be man to take your place. Wher you take the car in tonight, turn ovel your bell-punch and ask for your time That will settle it."
 The humorist swung himself off th' car and walked away, the conductor staring at him in blank, speechless dis may, while the passengers seemed tx think they had just seen the presiden of the Cincinnati Consolidated Stree railway company, and they cheerful. assured the conductor that he had mad the mistake of his life Criswel ha, noted the face of the driver and the mum Der of the car, and the next day, h. waited for the same car, and when he go on, sure enough there was a new con | ductor.
 "Where is the conductor who was ol yesterday?" Robert asked, as he pai' his fare.
 "Oh," the new man said, springinl the ben-punch, "the blamed fool trie' to bounce director last night and h. got fired!'
