TORGETFULNESS.

I am troubled with . propensity to
forget little things, and for years have
resorted to the simple plan of changing
my rings or tying knots in my handker-
chief. When even these methods failed
Of effect I devised still another plan :
This is to display in some conspicuous
place an object which could not in rea.
son belong there-the feather buster on
the dinner table, for instance. 1 will
tell You how well it works. One rainy
day. Is I stood at the window, I saw ly-
ing on the ground rake, which my hus-
band had left there day or two before.
II mustn't forget to take that in when
it clears away" I thought, and in order
to fix the fact in my memory 1 took q
dessert napkin which lay over dish of
fruit and pinned it upon a picture frame.
That napkin stayed there week An
hour after I pinned it up could not
have told, If it were to save my life, why
it was there. But I would not take it
down, though it gave occasion for much
ridicule from my friends, especially my
husband. I tried in vain, day by day,
to recall my reason for impaling that
poor rcd napkin. Finally I had occa-
sion to 60 out into the yard, and when I
saw that rake I remembered

THE MANUFACTURE OF Plate
GLlSS.

GL4SS.
To cast, roll, polish and FURNISH plate
glass requires machinery of peculiar
construction, and "plant is costly by
reason of its complex nature. The pour
ing of liquid glass from the furnace upon
the cast iron plates, and the subsequent
rolling, are processes comparatively SIM
pie. Any housekeepcr who has used a
rOlling-pin on batch of pic-crust dough,
performs an operation very similar 90
this stage of platc-glass making. 1t Is
the succeeding processes Of grinding and
polishing and final furnishing that re-
quires time and costly mechanism
After leaving the rolls and bed plate the
glass is rippled and rough, and only
fit for gratings or skylights. E.Ic'i
must be transferred to machines
that resemble the turntables of .

glass is cemented into n bed Of plastcrcl
Paris, and the machine started. Bear
ing heavily on the surface of the ola
are blocks of metal, and while in motion
the surfaces are kept supplied with sharp
sand and q constant stream of water.
The next stage of the glass-grinding
process is the same as to machinery, but
instead of sand coarse emery is used.
Then finer emery is used in another re-
volving table, and so on for half dozen
times. The final polishing is done by
heavy rcciprocating devices, fed with
rouge, and maintaining constant back.
ward and forward motion, and also II
lateral movement over the surface of the
crystal. All this requires the assistance
of large force of men, many of them
skilled laborers. After going through
these different grindings and polishings
the plate that measured an inch in thick
ness is only three-9uarters of an inch
thick, has lost all its roughness, and is
ready for tho shcw-window Of the pur-

A MEAGER EXCUSE.

The young man who pleads poverty
and meager salary as an excuse for re-
framing from marriage will do well to
remember the pluck of Thomas A. Scott,
the great railroad magnate, and Charles
A. Dana. the great journalist. The for.
mer embarked upon the matrimonial sea
with salary Of $50 per month and the
latter with o salary of S. per week.
Marriage. however, was not the only
thing that made these men succeed.

A MARVELLOUS ESOAPE.

Nearly everybody, in all walks Of life,
has had what he would cal narrow cs-
capes, but we doubt if the most remark
able of them can compare with the fol-
lowing actual occurrence, as related hy
an old locomotive engineer. The train
was near Yorkville, heading for New
Haven, ard was composed of eight pas
senger cars filled with passengers. The
train was going at the rate OF about
thirty miles an hour.
A fog was prevailing, SO that the en-
gineer could not see the switching sig
nal but the fog was lifted from the
ground, so that he could see the track
quite little distance ahead-say $50 or
200 feet. He kept his eye Ell the rails,
md directly his heart gave thur I. for,
to his great CONSERVATION, he saw the
end of the rails. Then he knew that the
switch was misplaced, and believed a
smash-up inevitable, though he did no
for an instant lose his presence of mind.
lie instantly applied the steam brake
and reversed the engine. For fireman
he had a young man who has since bc-
come his son-in-law, but he did not tell
him OF the impending peril. Indeed, h.
had not much time. He kept his eye on
the end of the rail as the train, i'll spite
of tho brakes and the reversed ma
chinery, was rushing on to destruction.
From where he stood he could Sc Ii,
rails up TO within seventeen feet of tie
Locomotive. He saw that the switch Wa
still misplaced when his vision at seven
teen feet away was cut off, and be l'raccd
himself for the shock. He SAYS his
thoughts Mt this awful moment were not
for himself, but for the passengers -J0Q
in number-men, women, and children
He seemed to live IN age in the few
brief seconds which had elapsed from
the time he discovered the misplaced
switch. There were rocks on either
side of the track, and, as no expressed
it. the splinsers were bound to fly. But
the anticipated crash never came. The
dread seventeen feet, with five times
seventeen added, had been left behind
before the engineer could believe his
senses, and feel that the DANCE: WIS
past. With feeling OF relief, he could
again see the continuous lines of rails,
and he knew his train was safe. Just in
the nick of time, with not quarter of a
second to spare, the switchman had
placed tho switch. When We consider
that a single revolution of the driving
wheel to tho locomotive propels the
train more than fifteen feet, and the
switch was righted inside of one rcvolu-
ton of the wheel when tho train WIS
going at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour, We think all will agree it was a
narrow escape.-HarttOrd Times.

BARNUM.

Barnums London Show will visit this
city on the 28th of the present month, in
cars of their own. In relating how these
cars were purchased. an exchange says:
Immediately after Mr.. Barnum's consoi
idation with the Great London last fall the
question arose whether to rent cars of the
rolling stock corporation, as is customary
with shows, or build and own one hundred
cars themselves. Mr.. Barnum favored the
new plan Mr.. Bailey would agree with
the Others" but Hutchinson, the junior
member of the new firm, was in quandary
and stroked his moustache vigorously. Fl
nally it was suggested to leave it to the
cards. Barnum didn't know one from an
other. but he picked out four that had
pictures on 'em" and four that "were spot
ted" and gave them vigorous shaking in
his hat. They were then emptied on the
floor, with the understanding that ma
jority of picture cards coming face up
would mean independent cars. and Utce
uersa. Then the triumvIrate of managers
got down on their knees to separate the
pictures" from the spots" It was found
that three of the former AMI only two OF
the latter had turned face up. and so the
little matter of spending $500, 900 for roll
ing stock was settled.
