How Odds Glass?

The oldest specimen of pure glass
bearing anything like date is little
nodded 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 a
period which may be moderately placed
at more than 1900 years b. c.. glass
was not only made, but made with a
skill which shows that the art was no.
thing new. The invention of glazing
pottery with film of varnish of glass
is SO old that among the fragments
which bear inscriptions of the early
Egyptian monarchy are beads possibly
of the first dynasty.
OF later glass there are numerous ex-
amples, such as a bad bead found at
Thebes, which has the name of Queen
Hatasoo, Or Haspep, of the eighteenth
dynasty. OF the same period are vases
and goblets and many fragments. 1t
cannot be doubted that the story pre-
pared by Pliny,which assigns the credit
of the invention to the PhOnicians, is
so far true that those adventurous mer-
chants brought specimens to other coun-
tries from Egypt. DIR. Schliemann
found disks of glass in the excavations
at Mycen;e, though Homer does not

That the modern art of the glass

much older picture, which probably
represented the same manufacture, is

kara, and dates from the time of the

is not possible, in spite of the assiduous

sionate inquiry, "Must leave thee here
alone?" No answer returns save the
haunting echo and the low clicking of
distant door. The scene changes
1t is the back yard tableau. A white
robed old man bends over chained
dog, and soothes his too eager spirit as
he loosens the collar. A low voice says
"S-cc-ceck him, Bull-take a short cut
round the rose-bush." And the old
man is alone. The clatter of a fallen
guitar comes from the front; sound
like the rush of steeple-chase nearing
a hedge is borne back, and neck and
neck two figures cross the picket fence
to disappear down the dim perspective
of the deserted street. Then the old
man meets Bull as he returns on the
outer walk, and removes in discour-
aged manner dark object from his
foaming mouth, while the animal re-
tires to his kennel in silence. The door
opens and shuts on the white robed
form, and all is still again. But as he
gets in bed and shoves the old lady's
feet out of the warm place, he mutters,
"Bull is gettin' old, an serenades don't

A Rad CuSfnma

The custom that the papers have of
printing the lOve-letters that are pro-
duced in Court as evidence in breach
of promise cases, would be bad enough
if they would only correct the orthog-
faphy, but they don't. The editor
seems to take a fiendish delight in re-
producing such amatory and damaging
epistles just as they were written, with
all their imperfections on their head
If the infatuated lover tells his manor
alta that she is his '.deer luv," and he
''kneeds her evry our" that is the way
it goes into the paper. Ii he promises
her ''iir cloake," fir cloake it is. And
if in hurried and,a as it often proves,
al unguarded moment, he alludes to
her as his ''betrauthed,n the pitiless
proof-rcader couldn't be induced to
substitute the conventional way of
spelling that word for 4 mint of money.
These things are particularly harrow
ing to the father of the incomplete let
ter-writer. whose shame at the publica-
ton of the correspondence is swallow
ed up in his modification that he has
squandered SO much money on the
young mans education. The safest
way is not to write any love-letters, blrt
if you do, it would be advisable to have
them revised and corrected by some
expert in grammar, photography and
punctuation before passing out of your
hands, so that in case they get into the
newspapers. you will not be set down
as illiterate however much you may be
suspected of being a fool.-Cipcinnati

and upon organizing the court Judge
Harrison placed one on each jury. !
About the first case called was one
against a party for murder. After
hearing the evidence, arguments of
counsel, and charge of the court, tho
jury started downstairs to consider
their verdict, the colored juror happen
ing to be in the rear. Following them
was the attorney for the defendant. At
the head of the stairs (and in hearing
of the colored JUROR the attorney was
asked by friend how he thought the
case would be decided. The reply
was, 81 think the defendant will be ac-
quilted or the jury will be hung
The jury went down the steps and
out in the yard, and upon looking
around the colored member was miss
ing. Upon investigation, they saw him
making 2:40 time in the direction of
the brush. The Sheriff was called
and, after vigorous pursuit, Mr.. Ju-
ror was captured and brought before
the court and asked why he had run
away. His reply was, '.He had heard
a gentleman say if the man wasn't
cleared the jury would be hung, and
and as he hadn't done nothing he
didn't want to take any chances. ",n-.sE

Concrete for Farm Buildings.

Concrete in some form, that is mix
ture of common lime, or hydraulic ce-
ment, and the requisite amount of sand
to form mortar, with gravel or frag-
ments of stone, is building material
of great antiquity. 1t was employed by
the ancient Romans soon after they
commenced to erect substantial build
ings. It's use in nearly every civilized
country in the world has been general
for more than two thousand years. 1t
has been employed in this country to
only limited extent for the reason
that timber is SO cheap, plenty, and
generally distributed. In Mexico, sun
dried bricks and concrete have been
the building materials most generally
employed. The former have been used
for the walls of buildings, and the lat
ter for floors. Concrete in many places
may be made at small cost. and it is
nearly as enduring rs natural stone.
Various circumstances Indicate that
concrete will soon be largely employed
in the construction of farm buildings,
in this country. Il is not well suited
for the construction of buildings re-
quiring great strength and high finish
like those wanted in large cities. but
it is admirably adapted to the require
are remote from any supply OF lumber
contain limestone. sand, and gravel in
abundance. Others are 50 situated
that these materials can be obtained
within a reasonable distance for the
trouble of hauling them. Little skilled
labor is required to erect ordinary farm
buildings from concrete. There is 3
practical treatise on the subject of the
preparation and use of concrete that
contains directions that will enable any
ingenious man to erect ordinary build
ings for protecting stock and farm pro-
ducts.
The growing scarcity and advancing
price of lumber will soon render the
employment of some other building
material necessary; and nothing seems
SO likely to take the place of wood as
concrete. Split stone and brick are
both expensive. 1t is troublesome 10
haul them over ordinary roads, and the
services of skilled mason are required
to lay them in wall. Concrete pos
sesses many advantages over wood for
the construction of farm buildings. 1t
requires no paint to protect il from the
action of the elements. 1t is incon-
bustible, and nearly indestructible.
Buildings made of it are fire, water, rot
and vermin proof. They are never
very beautiful, but their appearance
improves with age, while the contrary
is the case with buildings made of most
materials.
Concrete is an excellent material to
employ in making floors for stables and

The COlOred Juryman.

Con. Thomas Harrison, who was
commander of Texas regiment dur

the Jim Town Major was soon after

districts of Texas. Shortly after his
election he visited one of the counties

ing his court. He arrived at the coun-
ty town on Sunday evening, and sent
for the Sheriff and asked him if jury
had been summoned for the court, and
if any upon the jury were colored.
The Sheriff replied he had summoned
a jury. but there were no colored men
on the jury, and but few in the county.
Judge Harrison told him, under the re-
cent order Of the Department Com
mander. no legal jury could be impan-
eled unless one or more negroes were
on it, and. ordered him to have some
negroes in attendance on the following
morning, to be placed upon the jury

One of the curiosities of Arizona is
an ancient copper mine on the east
side of the Verde. By whom it was
worked it would be hard to determine.
Possibly Aztecs; more likely by the
Apaches. This is more reasonable, as
the mine has not been worked for the
metal in the ore, but for the paint
There are now on the dump rich and
easily worked carbonates, where every
spot where high-colored, soft material
showed itself, has been worked out
Several rock tools which have been
found, with battered edges and stains
of ore on them, prove that implements
of stone were used. They ran tunnel
into the ledge nine feet high and from
six to eight feet wide. 1t is about twen-
ty feet long. In places there are walls
built and the waste matter thrown be-
hind them.

Mrs. Clark, of the town of Webster.
Monroe county, New York, has under
cultivation what may be called a chest
nut orchard. 1t occupies five or six
acres, and was formed thirty years ago
by thinning out chestnut grove, leav-
ing here and there at regular intervals
a young tree. The intermediate spaces
are plowed and sowed to grass. The
chestnuts pay in market a good interest
upon the land, while the inclosure
serves also the purpose of pasture.
