Cities of Iron and Glass.

If the Comte de Keratry's estimation
is to be accepted, heavy stone and brick
are in their last days for architectural
purposes, and iron, glass and pottery will
take their place. He instances the beauty
and success of the Exposition building in
Paris. According to a writer in Ha1per's
Magazine, also, a new %inf3ntion in glass
of French origin, maySqnpersede cast
iron, so that railway sleeEsrs, fence posts,
drain pipes, tanks and so forth, may be
made out of that E1-yeous substance, and
be stronger than iron, as well as lighter
and cheaper. There is some doubt yet
as t o whether the toughening process MI.
Bastien applies to his glass will qualify
it for doing all that he claims, but he
has succeeded in arousing interest and
expectation, ALREADY transparent glass
bricks are made, and it has been asked
whether entire houses may not be thus
put together. The joke about people in
glass houses having already been chest
nutted, only this passing reference is
eaaae to it. 1t is not, indeed, desirable
Tilt glass houses should be transparent.
The way some people live who have no
visible means of support would be suffici-
entity transparent without that. But,
per,laps, the time will come when u
new cities will be mainly v~itreous. Such

Many plants are evidently lacking in this

Others are never touched by them,

TO PREVENT MOLD IN JARS.

One of the great troubles in preserving
fruit in glass jars is to prevent the forma-
ton of mold on top and the consequent
spelling of fruit when it rises above the
top of the sirup. A very effective, cheap
and simple device is a disc of thin veneer
of wood, from one-siXtecnth to one
twentieth of an inch thick and from two
and th~ree-quarters to three inches in dia-
meter for one quart jars, made from gum,
beech, birch, elm or ash, as these woods
have 30 taste nor flavor and will not in
iure the fruit. To use, dip III hot water
to prevent cracking, slightly bend so as
to slip in the neck down below the shout
der of the jar; press down OF the fruit so
as to allow the sirup to rise over it. The
shoulder will keep it down and in place.
When you wish to use the fruit remove
by running a fork under and picking it

THE NAP AT NOONTTHE.

Both the climate Of the country and
our national habits tend to keep the brain
and nervous system at a high tension.
We need to see that, without Il radical
change, there is danger ahead for us.
We need to force ourselves to take things
more quietly, to think more of rest. But,
meanwhile, the midday nap is Of vast
help. It is wonderful how much recuper-
ative power there is in a nap of Il few
minutes. No one who has ever acquired
the habit of a brief siesta has failed to
experience it, and perhaps there is 10 way
in which a quarter Of an hour Of oar
time every day can be invested, and with
a prospect of a better dividend in health
and length of days than an aftcr-dinrcr

A club man from New York took this
handsome fellow down to New York q
few seasons ago, and wherever he went
the crowd stopped to gaze at him. He
was photographed in his rough costume,
and more than one woman in New York
still treasures that picture. The best
thing about this Adirondack Adonis is
that he dislikes being an object of admir-
alton, and some time ago he declared that
h%enceforth he would guide only men and

Fred took off his gloves and said he was
satisfied. When Billy Edwards was in
