There is a glass lamp-chim- ney SO tough that it almost never breaks in use. It is of the finest glass ; it is also per- feet in form and action.
 The glass costs several times as much as common glass. The chimney costs two or three times as much as others to make; the dealer, of course, has to pay for it; but he can afford to sell it as usual. Some object to it. "Can't afford to sell it" they say; but they can. It brings "good will" of more value than all their brittle chimney profits, good profit besides. "

SOME DAY.

Some day think you win be glad to know
 That have kept you ever in my heart, And that my love has only deeper grown,
 In all the time that we have lived apart. someday, when you have slipped away from cara And idly fall to dreaming of the past And ssdly think of all your life has missed
 VIII you remember my true love at last? Or will it come to pass some dreary night
 After a day that has been hard to beaf-s When you are weary, heart sick and forioen, And there Is none to comfort and to care; That you will close your tired eyes and dream Of tender kisses falling soft and light, Of restful touches smoothing back your hair And sweet words spoken for your hearts dc

 Perhaps then. youn remember and be glad That so long have kept you in my heart, # And that your souls true home will yet be there Although we wander silent and apart.

Detroit Free Press Everybody is agreed that fleeing the servants about a hotel is a pernlcious practice, and one that every free-born American should seek to stamp out, but, nevertheless, the fact stares you in the face that the habit is growing and becoming more firmly fastened upon guests. You may combat the practice all you will, but there are two reasons why it will be continued. The first is because landlords hire walters at starvation wages and encourage them to expect blackmail from guests, and the next is because you realize that you suffer loss of stand ing at the hands of waiter if you don't hand over. had made up my mind this year not to part with one blessed cent to Sambo, and held to that resolution just one week.

Some important fGcts that were demon
strated by the recent storm ars pointed
ont in Wilmington Dispatch printed
elsewhere and they certainty deserve the
attention of ConGress at its earliest con.
7enience. The Delaware Breakwater, 1t
appears, is wholly inadequate to the pur
poses for which il was constructed, ana
the anchorage witch il affords is fer ton
small to meet the demsnds made upon il
during any heavy storm along the coast
This isscsrcely Surprising considering that
the work was constructed over 60 years
ago, when cur coast trade was COMPARE
tlvsiy small, and when statesmen did
not realize the vast possibilities Of the
then youthful republic. The harbor
formed by tie Breskwatee was ample at
that time for ali purposes, aud it was
national work OF which it's projectors
were justly proud. Now there ia not
room behind the protecting wall for
nearly ill the vessels which seek shelter
in q storm, aud for many who would take
advantage Of its security the water is nol
deep enough. Since tine construction OF
the Breasweter on ice breaker has been
built, but there is wide gap between tue
two, giving full play to the Winds and
waves in storm. The work of filling
this gap SO as to make one compact struc.
turs has been going on for some time,
but Congress has doled out the APP
propristions so spsringly that the
progress 10 unnecessarily slow. II this
work has been decided upon es required
for the safety of our coast commerce,
there is no good reason vhv il should not
be pushsd as rapidly as possible. There
is no economy in spending u large srm
of money in dribblets when il hes once
bsen determined that the money ia TO be
spent. such q policy may give congress-
men an opportunity TO nanipulsIe theil
constituents by handing Out theie fayors
pieremeai. Int ii is sEincus 70 the inter.
rsts OF the country. The ACCESSIBILITY OF
building another bseakwAtsr at another
point on the coast may be Legitimate
So liact of discussion, but the proprlaty
OF speedily completing tie work already
began cannot be questioned.
