EDITORIAL NOTES.


 Let us be thankful that 1t doesn't rain quite all the time.
 The general verdict concerning the investi- gating oommittse's report seems to be: Not enough pork for shilling.
 There was an increase of $1S, ,000,O 900 in the receipts of five leading railroads during ten months of the Paris exposition over the corresponding months of last year.
 The investigation of town affairs has al- ready cost about six hundred dollars. By the time everybody is paid the cost will per- haps be fifteen hundred or two thousand dol- lars. Committees cannot be expected te work for nothing.
 A movement of prominent colored men "to form protective association, with the object of using every moral and legal means to check the various crimes against colored citizens," is attracting some attention at Washington. A federal election law is one of the remedies to be urged.
 It is hard to suit the women of Chicago. They kicked for a long time because the street car companies did not provide . sps- cial car for smokers. Finally such car was provided on some of the lines, but the wo- men are kicking more vigorously than ever. In spite of the conductors explanations they insist on entering tho smoking scar, even when the other cars are empty-in Chicago three or four cars are run together, you know-and then berate the conductor be- cause he dees not put the smokers off. l A great outcry has been raised in the Swiss canton Tessin against tho prevalence there of bribery at elections. The political workers ere constantly racking their brains to devise new means of buying votes. The mayor oi a small city near Locarno recently, while
 running for reelection, invited every ont
 who would promise to vote for him, to ea
 and drink at his expense for three months a
 certain specified taverns. The success of hi
 plan is shown by the fact that he was re
 elected and that his bills at the taverns il
 question amounted to II, ,0o0 francs. Vote bought in the old-fashioned way cost fror 20 cents to $5 each. Even the clergy ar
 said to bribe electors right and left.

THE LONG AGO.

Do you think of the long ago, sweet wife,
AZ we sit by the old brooks side,
While the woodbird sings and the Under
filings
Its shadow over tho tidel
DO you think Of the bright time gone,
When we sat by this twinkling stream.
Dreaming for hours mid its gay wild flower
As only youth can dreaml
You remember the hawthorn hedge beyond,
Where the thrushes came to sing
When the sky was blue and each green Leaf
new
In the fresh and joyful spring.
Blue violets bowed beneath,
And winds low answers gave,
While rich and bright the trembling light
Lay on the silver wave
You were scarcely woman then, dear wife,
But young girl, sweet and fair,
A maiden meek with each soft round cheek
Half-hidden meath waving hair;
And flushed to the hue of an opening rose
When my heart poured out its tale.
While the trees around made a whispering,
sound
At the soft kiss of the gale.
Ny ow1ii you have borne some sorrow since.
There are shadows on your brow;
Eyes which were bright as the stars Of night
Are dim and sorrowful now.
You have folded two din1pled hands
Der little ehild's white breast.
And laid her to sleep in grave dug deep
But no sound can break that rest
We have only each other left to love
As We sit by the old brooks side,
While the woOdbird sings and the linden
filings
Its shadow over the tide.
You wonder how much the heart can bear,
And your silent teardrops low
hesthe joy Of life return, sweet wife,
For the sake Of our long ago.

Casting Plate Glass.

The casting tables, the most impor-
tant pieces of apparatus IN a plste-glass
works, are nineteen feet long, fourteen 3
feet wide, and seven inches thick. Each
is provided with an iron roller, thirty
inches in diameter and fifteen feet long.
Strips of iron on each side Of the table
afford bearing for the rollers and de-
>1a-mine the=hici,aaz= eff the plate Of
glass TO be cast. The rough plate is
commonly nine-sixteenths of an inch in
thickness; after polishing, it is reduced
to six or seven-sixteenths. The casting
tables are mounted on wheels and run on
track that reaches every furnace and an
neallng oven in the building. The table
having been wheeled as near as possible
to the melting furnace, the pot of molten
glass is lifted by means of crane, and
its contents quickly poured on the table.
The heavy IRON roller IS then passed from
end to end, spreading the glass into
layer of uniform thickness. The whole
operation of casting scarcely occupies
more time than it takes TO describe it.
Each movement is made with almost
nervous rapidity. Few industries offer
such fine scenic display as the pouring
ing "encorer' it is so very brilliant.
In contact with the cold metal on the
table. ths glass cools rapidly. As soon
as pos,ssrz, the door of the annealing
oven is opened, and the plate of glass
introduced. The floor of the oven is on
the same level as the casting table, SO
that the transfer can be conveniently and
quickly made When after several days,
the glass is taken out Of the oven, its
surface is found to be decidedly rough
and uneven. A small quantity is used in
this condition for sky-lights and other
purposes where strength IS required
without transparency. 1t is known IN
the market as rough plate. The greater
part of the glass, however. is ground,
smooth. and polished before it leaves
the establishment. - Popular Science
