Cutting Glass with scissora.

Many persons mny not Ice aware" that
glass can be cut unirr water. with the
greatest ease, TO almost any shape, 10y
simply using II pair OF ordinary shears
or strong scissors. In order to insure
success, two points must De attended to
first, and mos: important, tho glass
must Tee kept quite level in the water
while the scissors are applied; and, sec.
ondly. to avoid risk, it is better to be.

pieces at the corners and along the
cc4!cs. nnl to reduce the shape grndu.
ally To that required. for il my attempt
IS made To cut the glass 20 the shape. as
We would cut u piece Of cardboard. 1t
will be most likely ia break just where
it is not wanted. Some kinds Of glass
Gu; much better than others: the softer
glass il the best for this PURPOSE. The
scissors need not depend on the state Of

This moih"i Of cutting glass has often
been o: service, when u diamond has
not been at hand, for cutting ovals and

some pnfpoFeN ii will answer in many
cases. The two hints given above, If

The " hpaten Loaf.

Good wheat bread and butter is the
staff Of civilized life. Take away
wheat bread and butter from our
families for a few generations, and
who is prepared to say that civilization
would not glide easily to a state of
barbarism? There is sound philoso-
ply in this suggestion; because there
is no other kind of human food that is
so admirably adapted to the develop
ment of the human frame, including a
noble brain, as good wheat bread.
Civilization has seemed to keep pace
with the production of wheat, and re-
fined society the world over has
seemed to exist coeval with the wheat
en- loaf.
We find the lowest order OF intelli-
gences standing on u potato. Only
n step above this. class another or
der is found on a lloe-cake. One de
gree above this we meet with the class
that has risen in the scale of being as
high Is it is possible for mortals to
rise on a pancake. Head and shout
ders above all these classes we find the
highest order of intelligences, with
large and well developed brains and
noble characters, standing securely on
their wheaton loaf Va ,tb.r food
can excel the wheaton loaf. because it
furnishes more and better material for
the human brain than any other food.
The cook.

is not said to be due to any particular
color, size or shape of the visual organ,
and in fact even those who most firmly
believe in it do not attribute it to any
physical popularity, although Boguet af-
tirmed that sorcerers had two pupils in
one of their eyes, and some in both eyes;
they MORALLY bewitched those they
locked at, and killed them if they kept
their eve fixed on them.
In Italy there were sorcerers supposed
to devour with one look the heart of a
man. The Grecians firmly believed in
the eyil-eye, while in Spain there were
PEOPLE much feared because their eyes
could distill poison into those they
looked at. One Spaniard, it is reported,
had such a powerful bad eye that he
could shatter every pane Of glass in a
window just by looking at it. Another
was employed by thu king to look on
certain criminals condemned to death,
| for his look sufficed to kill them.
The people in Scotland alse have a
| great dread of the evil-eye, believing
| that the look of certain persons produces
| very unfortunate results, such as turning
the milk sour, making the goats barren,
etc. At Plaudern, near L~anderneau, in
| Brittany, if the left eve of a corpse does
not close. one of the nearest relations is
| threatened by death. -Baa1r.
