The people who are contemplating
taking up lands in the Sioux reservn.
tlon must be patient. 1t will be some
time yet before that region will be
ready for settlement. The consen, Of
the Indians Is but the first step. Tho
next VIII DO the ratification Of the
agreement by congress, which very
likely Will not be accomplished until
some time IN December. The general
impression has been that after the con.

MOSAIC WINDOWS.

Intentional Jmperfections introduced In
to the Process of Their Manufacture.
But the glass-worker has only begun
his work when he has the molten
metal simmering in his crucibles. 1t
must undergo many subsequent manip-
nlations before it is available for the
purpose of art. Some of these, from
technical point of view, some retro
gressional. 1t has been found that the
rich color effects in glass of the middle
ages are Largely due to the imperfec-
lions in the material. Its lack of ho-
mogeneousness, its unequal thickness
and uneven surfaces contribute largely
to its beauty. The modern product is
too uniform to be brilliant; it trans
mits the light with too great regulari-
ty. Intentional imperfections are,
therefore, introduced into the process;
and the products, in consequence, are
much more satisfactory to the artist.
This work of individualizing the prod
uct has now been SO far systematized
that several special brands of art
glass are recognized in the markets.
The so-called antique glass in both
white and colors, is made precisely
like the ordinary sheet window glass,
except that the surface of the glass is
made full of minute blow-holes, which
produce almost an aventurine effect,
and add greatly to its brilliancy. In
the cathedral glass the surface is rem
dered wavy and uneven, so that the
transmission of light shall be CORE
spondingly irregular. In the flash
glass ordinary sheets are covered with
a thin plating of colored glass.
process which permits a very delicate
color tone, and materially decreases
the expense. where a costly glass,
such as ruby, is needed to give the
color. But in mosaic work it is now
generally preferred that the glass shall
not be at all transparent. since the
effect is much richer. The most of
the glass is therefore cast, the process
being a repetition in miniature of the
casting of rough plate. -Prof. c.

Profit in Money-Making.

1.-THE bright silver-looking nickels
that pay for a ride on the street cars
are a source of great profit to the Gov
eminent, as they cost but three-fourths
of a cent apiece" said mint employe
yesterday. ''They are now purchased
under a contract We used to make
the blanks ourselves and stamp them
afterward at the mint, but of late
years we have been purchasing the
blanks and having them stamped at
the mint. They are bought by the
pound. as are also the pennies. I
think they cost about a quarter of
cent, or perhaps third of a cent
each"
How many of these pennies and
nickels are issued in year?"
NEARLY a million dollars worth;
not quite that, but in round numbers
say $1,000, 900 worth. The total
amount of scent pieces issued in a
year usually reaches about $500, 600.
and pennies nearly $500, 900. Besides
that there are few Scent nickel
pieces, but only a few. Last year the
number was extremely small. There
is little demand for them, and the de-
partment is discouragiug the use of
them as much as possible"
ION this 81, 900. 600 worth of minor
coins issued, then, there must be a
profit of considerably over $500. O00?"
Eyes, considerably more than that

ellis. I saw a naked boy of four, yes
terday. standing in a crowd smoking a
cigarette. He was putting away lusti-
ly at the weed in his mouth. and he
had two others yet unlit-one behind
each ear. He apparently enjoyed his
cigar. and smoked, and spit. and spit,
and smoked. as though it was an
everyday matter, as 1 doubt not it
was. His brown-skinned father, in a
waist-cloth, stood beside him, and
when he started away he picked up the
still smoking youngster and set him
astride of his hip. and thus walked off.
Babies are always carried on the hin
here, and not upon the back, as in
China, Korea and Japan. This carry
ing is done by the men as well as the
women, and only the fewest of the
men do any work.. G. Carpenter's
