How Old is Glass.

The oldest specimen of pure glass
bearing anything like a date is a
little moulded lions head with the
name of an Egyptian king of the
eleventh dynasty, in the Slade Col
lection at the British museum
that is to say, at a period which
may be moderately placed as more
than 1000 B. c., glass was not only
made, but made with skill which
shows that the art was nothing
new. The. invention of glazing
with a film Of varnish on is so old
that among the fragments which
bear inscriptions of the early
Egyptian monarchy are beads pos
sibly Of the first dynasty, OF later
glass there are numerous exam
Piles, such as bead found at
Thcbes, which has the name of
Queen Hatasoo or Hashep, of the
eighteenth dynasty. Of the same
period are vases and goblets and
many fragments. 1t cannot be
doubted that the story prepared by
Pliny, which assigns the credit of
the invention to the Phoenicians,
is so far true that these adventure
Gus merchants brought specimens
to other countries from Egypt. DR.,
Schliemann found disks Of glass
in the excavations at Mycena,
though Homer does not mention it
as substance known to him. That
the modern art of the glass-blower
was known long before is certain
from representations among the
pictures on the walls of a tomb at
Benz Hassan, of the twelfth Egyp-
ton dynasty; but much older
picture, which probably represent
ed the same manufacture, is among
the half obliterated scenes in a
chamber Of the tomb of I'll at SAX
kara and dates from the time of the
fifth dynasty-a time so remote
that it is not possible, in spite of
the assiduous researches of many
Psychologists, to give it date in
years.-Selected.

Kisses on Interest.

A father talking to his careless
daughter, said, II want to talk to
you of your mother 1t may be
that you have noticed a careworn
look upon her face lately. Of
course it has not been brought
there by any act of yours; still it
is your duty to chase it away. |
want you to get up tomorrow
morning and get breakfast; and
when your mother comes and be-
gins to express her surprise, 60
right up to her and kiss her on the
mouth. You can't imagine how it
will brighten her dear face. Be-
sides you owe her kiss or two.
Away back when you were little
girl she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face.
You were not so attractive then as
you are now. And through those
years of childish sunshine and
shadow she was always ready to
cure by the magic of mothers
kiss the little dirty, chubby hands
whenever they were injured in
these first skirmishes with the
rough old world. And then the
midnight kiss with which she
routed SO many bad dreams as she
leaned above your restless pillow,
have all been on interest these
long, long years. Of course she is
not so pretty and kissable as you
are but if you had done your
share of work daring the last ten
years, the contrast would not be so
marked. Her face has more wrin-
kles than yours-far more; and
yet, if you were sick, that face
would appear more beautiful than
an angels as it lowered over you,
watching every opportunity to
minister to your comfort, and ev
cry one of those wrinkles would
seem to be bright wavelets of sun
shine chasing each other over the
dear face. She will leave you one
of these days. These burdens, if
not lifted from her shoulders, will
break her down. Those rough,
hard hands that have done so many
necessary things for you will be
crossed upon her lifeless breast,
those neglected lips that gave you
your first baby kiss will be forever
closed and those sad, tired eyes
will have opened in eternity; and
then you will appreciate your
mother, but it will be too late

This Festival is becoming more
attractive and more attracting; in
quiries regarding it are coming in
from all parts of this and neighbor-
ing States, and no wonder, for the
programme of this season compris-
es even greater attractions than
have ever been offered before.
During part Of the week Nilsson,
PATHS only rival, will sing at the
Grand Opera House. Thus will
lovers of the phenomenal in music
have an opportunity to com
pare the merits of the two great
Prima Donnas of the world.
To enable everybody to enjoy ali
this, the M. & C. R. R. makes rates
of one fare for the round trip, the
tickets being limited to amply COW
er the Festival week. With these
very low rates our people will be
apt to find business and pleasure of
all sorts that most needs take them
