Engraving on Glass.

The hard point for inscribing and on.
craving rare stones is doubtless Older
than the lathe, and was certainly used
in engraving glass during classical and
medieval times The Flemish, Dutch
and Germans, within the last three
centuries. used it with great success, as
testified by examples of their work still
remaining. Diamond or other hard
stone points-or steel points similar to
those used by some glass carvers of the
present day-may be employed In en-

way as ordinary gravers for metal or
wood. The glass should be coated

A Sect Whose Members Will Not XIII

Tho Hndoo religion enjoins one to
be kind and merciful to all living Great
urcs. TO put to death any creature
that has life is m objectionable sin TO
Hindoo. while TO protect II is one OF
the highest virtues. Beasts, birds,
reptiles and insects aro Is much the
object of the lIindoo's kindness as
human kind. The llindoos of the
higher castles never take flesh. They
live entirely on milk and vegetables.
Hndoos OF certain sects take meat,
but they would not cat it unless 1t he

goddess. They would never think OF
shooting a bird or killing beast
They look upon the European prac'
,ice of shooting and hunting rs bar
barous. They distribute rice and corn
to crows and other birds every day.
India is the land of snakes, most oi
them being of the most vcnomons
kind But the llindoos are not les
warm In their kindness toward these
creatures. Snakes that have taken
shelter in Hindoo's house are never
killed by tho inmates. They are re-
gardcd as guests, and allowed to wan
der in the house unmolestcd and nm
touched.
There Is sect among the Hindoos
called Jain. The first and highest
principle of the Jain religion is never tc
kill, but always to protect all living
creatures and promote their happiness.
A rigid Jain would not tramplc on an
insect while passing by the road, lie
carries n broomstick, and with It cleans
his path of all minute insects and
worms. a Jain would gladly lie on q
bcdstcad that is infested with bugs
and coolly allow his blood to
be sucked by them. An English gentle
man once met q Jain, and told him
that the water he used TO drink was full
of microscopic insects. The Jain
would not believe him. The English
man brought his microscope, and
proved tho truth of his assertion. The
Jain looked surprised, and wept bit
tcrly. He was q devoted follower ol
his religion and he proved his devotion
by refusing ever again to take water
and the consequence was that he wa'
soon attacked by u serious malady and

No Excuse for Untidy House Dresses
some OF the Notable styles.
With the present low prices OF goods
and the wonderful facilities afforded for
reliable drcss.making by cut paper pat
terms, there is no excuse for untidy
house dresses. The "Mimosa" Is o
lovely home style of costume, when made
of any of the regular grades of prints
and prcttily adorned with embroidery.
Too much praise can not bc bestowed
on the "Clemencc" dress. designed es.
pccially for home wear. This mole
requires satine or very fine figured
gingham, combined with plain goods
of like quality. Another exceeding
ly becoming dress, suitable to be worn
while receiving morning calls, Is the
..Trenna" design. This mode should
be disposed in China Grape and hand.
somcly trimmed with wide and narrow
Egyptian lace or "plat val" tho latter
garniture most favored. Piazza
dresses are made up quite claborately.
The "Barberina'' design Is very pretty.
and can be effectively disposed In white
serge, trimmed with Angora lace and
bows of white satin. The plain figured
surahs, also China pongees, form dc.
sirable costumes for home wear. Fash.
ion does not, as formerly, advocate
wrappers for young ladies. although
the loose style Of dress called "Moiher
Hubbard" Is favored. and often seen
in the parlor during the early part oi
tho day. Tho "lncline" costume Is
very artistic. This design Is especially
becoming to young women. 1t looks

Why Not Brild u Railroad from allaq

MILFORD, Ellis County, Texas, Aug
10 Editor HERALD F'r he pas

Second, IL road was contemplated,
could tho company built it, even 10
WaXahachie, eXc9pt through bonus

haohio?
Why eXnct - much from Wax
h%chi0 ia proportion to Fort Worth,
whom tho latter place would b0 tho one

Now they say they can build 10 Cor

Is to be road to run over for all time
10 come? In the first place, all the
trade of WaXahaGhio Is lost 20 Tho
road and TO Fort Worth.
SecOnd-lt makes u road six or eight

IN the future; Il. o., those extra miles)
thon tho timo IL takes 10 go over these
extra six or eight milOa by oyary
train. A fOW thousand IN Che extra
cost OF FIRST construction is q matter
OF small account when tho trade OF al
good town and tho saving of six or
eight milos of distance are on the
other side.
tis claimed that great Inducements
Bto offered the company TO build tho
road west Of WRxshschlo. This We
helI6yo to Da false. The people living
west Ut WaXahachIe are proud |
OF their county.soat and
would rather have tho road |

good market is what il wanted, and
hat can mover DO at little way stations

Here are tho facts "a country man

Now, Mr.. Editor, Wo wish 10 call the
'tteutinn Of the euterprising men of
Dallas To missing linl; IL tho r.il-
Dads OF this part az tho country. Take
your map from Dallas TO Waco, via
NaNahachle and Milford, almost Nm
