How bohemian Glass is Colored.

The ornamentation of the glass is done
partly in connection with the exposure
in the furnace and partly in the finishing
shops, where the work is completed by
cutting, polishing, furnishing, etching,
painting and mounting in metal. The
glasshouses have at their command
very complete color scale for transparent,
Opaque and clouded glasses. But it must
not be supposed that crucible Is placed
in the furnace for each color, from which
glass colored for each ornament is to be
made. The colors are worked out by
means of what are called pastes, which
are kept on hand in sticks or cakes.
From pieces of these pastes, previously
warmed till they are soft, suitable guam
titles are cut off, laid upon the founda-
ton of white or colored glass, and then
spread out by drawing or blowing. By
this means only is an economical use of
such costly materials as gold and silver
compositions possible. Some OF the
glasses thus treated-gold, copper,
and silver gIasses-remain still
little, or not at all, colored after the
melting, shaping, and quick cooling.
and do not take on that bright hue until
tney are fcneaIeu. IHls Is tuo case "isA
the new yellow silver glass, which con-
tinues uncolored after the intermeltlng
of the silver salt until il is exposed in
the furnace again. Very fine effects are
produced by blending or overrunning OF
paste colors, provided proper attention
is given to the laws of harmony. A blue
glass cup is, for example, overlaid with
silver glass at its upper edge, and this is
drawn down in gradually thinner tones
till it fades away at the foot of the vase.
Gold and copper ruby colors are thus
combined with green glasses. etc. An
other brilliant et1ect is produced when
still hot bulb of glass is rolled in finely
pulverized aventurine glass, and after
this is melted, and previous to the shap-
ing of the vessel,is overlaid with coat
ing of either colored or colorless glass;

A White Rat Story.

Some days ago the Brooklyn Eagle
published an item of news about the
finding of a nest of white rats with pink
ewes in bale of galangal root imported
bv Messrs. Stallman IL Fulton. The
Eagle stated that 140 of the beauties had
been captured, with hopes of finding
Others on the premises. White rats are
SO rare that tfepublished facts attracted
widespread attention. The papers In
other States reproduced the article, and
ever since the dis overy was given unso-
licited publicity the fin has been over
run with inquiries from far and wide.
Correspondents wanted to know where
they came from, how the firm intended
to dispose of them. if the rodents had
any black spots, and recommending that
they be tenderly raised, as white rats
were a scarcity in this country. One
dubious correspondent believed they
were made white by the same compound
which Earnum used to make white
elephant. A New Hampshire lady wrote
the firm to ascertain how to get rid OF
the common household rats and closed
her epistle in the following words: LET
the light of your superior knowledge
shine upon my darkened pathway" (which
StalIman & Fulton did in prompt re-
sponse. As members of the drug trade
dropped in fro day to day on business,
they never neglected to mention about
the colony of rats, and the queries be-
came such bore to Mr.. Fulton, who has
to answer for the firm. as Mr.. Stallman Is
in Europe that he had to enforce strict
rule not to allow any discussion upon the
subject during Office hours. The porter
has been instructed to ''fire" all persons
mentioning rats The number found
reached 800, and they were carefully
placed in tin cans and removed up town
by certain parties who wanted them fol

Three years after date the floating
islands of pumice, thrown up and into
the sea by the stupendous volcanic erup-
ton at Krakatoa, in the Java seas, are
found to have drifted along the Indian
OCEAN in the last twelve months 676
miles in direction west by south from
where they were one year ago, or about
five miles day. This accidental help to
photographers and all who study ocean
currents and drift is probably the best
they ever had, because the origin of the
pumlce is we'll known, the floating ex-
panse of it so large that it cannot escape
notice, and the dates and other particu'
lars about it are all matters of record

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Everything good in man thrives best
when properly recognized.
The blow from a knife may be easily
cured; not so blow from the tongue.
Our happiness in this world depends
on the affections we are enabled to in
spirc.
A man who cannot command his tenn
per should not think of being a man of
business.
Enmities are more attractive than
friendships. Many persons will go
further to crafty a grudge than to re-
ward merit.
The living get credit for what they
might be quite as much as for what they
are. Posterity judgesa man by the best
rather than the average of his attain
ment.
There is no knowledge for which so
great price is paid as knowledge OF
the world ana no one ever became an
adept in it except at the expense OF
hardened and a wounded heart.
If there's right thing to be done, and
we seem to pass through wrong thing
on our way to it, depend upon it there's
another way to 1t ana Detter one, anu IL
is our own fault, and not Gods, that we
do not find it.
How many soever you may find or
fancy your faults to be, there are only
two that are of real consequence-ldle-
ness and cruelty; unless you are deliber-
ately kind to every creature, you will
often be cruel to many.
He who has stood beside the grave, to
look back upon the companlonship which
has been forever closed, feeling how n
potent there are the wild love or the
keen sorrow to give one instant's pleas
ure to the pulseless heart, or atone in the
lowest measure to the departed spirit for
an hour of unkindness, will scarcely, for
the future, incur that debt to the heart
which can only be discharged to the

A Chicago writer discusses the ques-
-: ,ho+ber the man marries the woman
or the woman marries the man, and
vbetber the marriage notice in the paper
should read: "Mary Ann Jones to sam
mel Smith" or Samuel Smith to Mary
Ann Jones'" The matter isn't OF much
consequence either way SO long as they
are happily married. However tine the
Syracuse Standard finds enough IN the
question to say: "The weight OF scstl-
mony is all in favor OF wedding the
woman to the man. The Bible is on tnat
side of the que ton, and SO is the mar
rage service of the Episcopal Church.
Usually, TOO, the husband objects to
being married to the woman unless sne
has money. He prefers the other form'
and most of the ladies agree to 1t.

How Birds Fly.

In paper recently red before the
American Association for asle Advance
ment of Science at Buffalo, l. Lancaster
gave some insight into the means by
which soaring birds keep themselves sus-
pended motionless in mld-air lie spent
i've years on the Gulf coast OF FLORIDA
observing the fight of birds: His
method was to assume dress painted to
resemble a pine bough, and taking up
his position in tree top watch the birds
for hours together. Tbs is one OF the
things he saw:
The gannet, when tree top near thelI
breeding places was occupied, would
float within foot of my ice as rigidly
immovable as q board. They have
alighted on my head with their toes IN
INV mouth. They would weigh as much
as eight pounds, with about four or i've
square feet of wing surface. A SUN
breeze was required to float them II they
remained in one place. They seemed to
sleep. as their eyes we're closed for an
hour at time. They were in position
of perfect equilibrium. l have gently
nushed them with stick in various dl-
rections while they were thus balanced,
and any effort at all would move them IN
any direction until they would waken,
which they were not long in doing. Inc
o ,sition of the wings of all birds while
| in the act of soaring was on an incline,
highest in front. The heavier the Dlro
the more the inclination. These gan
nets would float at an angle OF apou
fifteen degrees with the horizontal. ~ 4
frigate birds at very low inclination o,
ten seemingly nearly level, but all Giro
had the power of varying their lncnne
to suit their purposes.

English sailors attempted to catch
fourteen-foot shark off Natal, South
Africa, but the shark snapped their line
in two, and swallowed halt, hook, and
all. After losing several hooks, the an
glers tried piece of venison in which
they had put ball of gun-cotton. This
was connected by wire with a boats
battery, and just as the shark was in the
act of seizing the venison the charge was
exploded. There is degree of perse-
cution which even shark cannot endure,
The Jaws of the monster were shattered,
and it rolled over upon its back and
sank.

herbs which renders the human body in
sensible to hunger or thirst or poison,
without at the same time destroying life
or injuring the body in any way. After
taking quantity of the concoction he
entered upon long period of fasting,
taking into his stomach only four glasses

became interested in his case, and fol-

THE WAITING ANGEL

The painter who should drop his brush
Because he could not seize the blush
OF heaven, when birds so dreamily STIR
And the fir warm sun touches her,
Would not be worthy of his name.
He cannot copy the morning fame,
But with his best of artist wit
Lovingly strives to render it,
And heaven in an ideal sense,
For HIM and us makes recompense.
The poet who should break his Tyre
Because he could not make the wire
Echo the music Of the spheres
In perfect time to mortal ears,
Translate all utterance of the gods
In the rude phrase of mortal clods,
Fling from its delicate frame of gold
The lshuHder~ lawful as il rolleas-
No bard were ne. He sings his best,
Celestial law provides the rest
The man who will not grid his loins
For that which truth or love enjoins,
Because he knows his work when wrought
Will fall below his hope and thought,
Is no true workmen. Let him do
The thing his conscience points him to,
And he shall find the seed he cast
Spring up, when many days are past.
Whilst every honest deed will bring
A training for that nobler thing
For which archangel duly waits,
Keeping Occasions golden gates
For such as watchfully pursue
Her long, iaborious avenue
Many she calls, but chooseth few
To crown at last where crowns are due.

Hidden in the swamps of Livingston
parish, Louisiana, is hamlet with a
nopulation of 500 souls, where until tif-
teen years ago not a word of English was
spoken or understood. 1t is settle
ment of Acadians who displaced the
Spanish founders of the village, and to-
day are living in contentmcnt far from
any other habitation. The people are en-
gagged in the lumber business, and de-
spite the swampy and malarial condition
of the surrounding country, are hardy
and long-lived race. The younger vii
layers now use English to greater de-
gree among themselves, but their elders
cling to their mother tongue. Though
isolated, the settlement is hospitable and
a pleasant spot to visit.

England's new colonial acquisition tine
Ell;ce Islands in the South Pacific, will
proye of value principally as naval
station. There are nine islands in the
group, all atolls, and some of the iagoons
can be entered and afford excellent
anchorage; that of Funatuti being ninety
square miles in extent with an average
depth of fifty feet and two entrances
deep enough for the largest ships of war.
The population of the islands is not i'm

of strategical value to Great Britain IN

Held the sweetest of romances-
Every sigh and every quiver

WAY He NeverSwearE.

W never swear" said s jolly fat traveller from Kansas City to writer in the St. Paul Globe. And as well as can remember I never uttei cd but five of six oaths in my life and they were all pronounced about the same time. Before and after that never found it necessary to use pro- fare word and I believe have as mqch temper as any man, and have As many things to annoy and trouble me. It's all nonsense to heaF neI talk about men not being able to con tent themselves in that particular, They can all quit it if they only will. Every one of them keeps from swear ing while he is with women and if he can do it then, be can quit it alto gethers

One evening I made up my mird to swear the next day. The following morning after breakfast went down under an old eulveEt and began to swear like mate on a steamboat. l had not got through all 1ay combinations for I combined all sorts of oaths when the culyert eaved in.
