Cloth Made of Glass.

Ever since it's invention glass has been
found to be available for numerous pur-
poses as a decorative material, but it
was reserved for modern ingenuity to
conceive and carry out the idea of weav-
ing it into cloth Not long since a
Frenchman of an inventive turn Of
mind discovered that it was possible to
make a kind of cloth from glass, or
rather from glass and silk, the latter
forming the warp and the former the
woof The process of weaving is very
slow, and of course the product is ex-
pensive, but not more SO than other fam
cies in decorative novelties in which
wealthy people indulge themselves. AS
the pattern of the material is worked in
the glass, which may be of any color or
variety of colors desired, its brilliancy
may readily be imagined.-New York

Each one is bound to make the little

flow. Each of US may have fixed in his

household may flow influences that shall
stimulate the whole commonwealth and

order for them to appear is suddenly
given. The cloth concealing them Is
dropped, and they seem to have come
out of chaos In the same manner Mrs.
Hermann or Mrs. Kellar stands on the
stage draped in white, but holding up q
black cloth between herself and the au-
dience At the word of the magician she
drops the cloth and stands revealed. To
the uninitiated the trick is most puzzling.
1t is the same way that the head de-
tached from the trunk appears to be car
ried around the stage. The illusion is
that the trunk is closed in black, and
standing against the blackness of the
scene, cannot be distinguished; the head
being white, alone appears. This is per-
haps the cleverest of all De Kolta's in
ventions.
Of mechanical tricks Maskelyne, Of
London, and Kellar are the most noted
inventors Psyche, or the hand that taps
on glass table in response to the ma
gicians command, is an invention Of
Kellar, and is simply piece of very deli
cate and intricate machinery. 1t is very
similar to the Clio of MaskeIyne, and
OOCA nave @ AcSh44AJ AOoOAhOAcIA1NO w AAOA-
lars chess board, originally invented by
Maskelyne. Magicians generally give
the palm to Kellar for all tricksof q
mathematical kind. He has a marvel
ously quick mind in this respect, and
the most abstruse problems he can solve
in few seconds-apparently of course,
allowing it to be done by some mechani-
cal figure.
Whether all this comes within the ex-
act domain of magic does not SO much
matter as that such tricks are now ac-
cepted in magical entertainments and
vastly more enjoyed than the old pistol,
card and rabbit tricks to which some
magicians still adhere-tricks that neces-
state the use of confederate, and
which are, therefore, of little account
and at which even locals laugh
The future of magic is hard to fore
tell, Everything in the sleight-of-hand
way has become familiar, and outside Of
De Kolta there is no inventor of any
thing new The result is that recent
prestidigitateurs, such as Hermann, are
compelled to add to their own some sort
of variety entertainment to fill out the
evening Even Kellar had to go back to
the old Indian basket trick for novelty.

Rachel's Intellectual Power.

The late Matthew Arnold, comparing
Rachel and Bernhardt, said, after seeing
the latter act in tragedy; ST had never
till now comprehended how much of
Rachel's superiority was purely intel
lectual power; how eminently this power
counts in the actors art as in all art;
how just is the instinct which led the
Greeks to mark with a high and severe
stamp the muses.. Temperament and
quick intelligence, passion, voice, charm,
poetry Mile. Bernhardt has them all.
One watches her with pleasure, admira-
ton, and yet not without secret dis
qlietude. Something is wanting. That
something is high intellectual power. It
was here that Rachel was so great. She
began, one says to ones self, as one recalls
her image and. dwells upon it-she began
almost where Mile. Bernhardt ends. -

SOME SUPERSTITIONS.
A FEW OF THE POPULAR FEARS,
FANClES AND FAIRY TALES.

FAtNOIES ANU FAIRY IAEESs
Didn't Believe In Ghosts, but Afraid of
Them-Things Worn and Carried to Pre-
vent Disease to Go Under a
Ladder-In and Out the Same Door.
The probable truth is that there is not
one of The Globes readers who does not
at least half believe in some superstition
Somewhere in your lives you have a
little private closet where you keep one
or more pet superstitions locked up out
of sight of your friends, and. for the
most part, out of your own sight. But
now and. then you unlock the door, or
they get ont through the keyhole; then
they look at you in the twilight with
their weird eyes, full of the mystery of
the past, and you find yourself on your
knees before them Perhaps you are
half ashamed of them, because you do
not more than half believe in them, but
when hey get you alone they master
you. You are like Mime. de Stael A
friend said to her one day. do you be-
iieve in ghosts?" No, she replied, "but
am afraid of them, though"
A LONESOME LADY.
Col. Ingersoll dedicated his first vol
ume of lectures to EVA A. Ingersoll, a
woman without superstition" In the
early mining days in California, when
selfish rascality seemed to be the rule,
an old miner who had been repeatedly
"feeced" was very much astonished at
the remarkable honesty of a young man
who had just paid back some money
(which had been given him by mistake.
Thinking he could not have many COM
panions in such deeds the old man
stepped up to him, laid his hand on his
shoulder and said, Stranger, don't you
find yourself awfully lonesome about
these parts?' So | have often thought
that if Mrs. Ingersoll is really altogether
without superstition, she must. some
times find herself lawfully lonesome.
l remember, when a boy, that one of
my brothers used to wear about his neck
a red wooden cord to prevent the nose
bleed The only thing clear in my mind
on the subject was that it did not pre-
vent it. At any rate it used to bleed
very often, while the rest of us, who did
not wear one, were never troubled at all,
except in those cases that all who have
been boys will understand, where post,
or the ice in skating, or SNOWFALL or
some other boys fist came in somewhat
violent contact with the most prominent
feature of our faces suppose, how
ever. that there was some fanciful con-
nection between the red of the string
and the red of the blood, and an incipient
homeopathy suggested that like would
cure like
| also remember, when child, how
some of the larger boys used to carry
about a horse chestnut i'm their pockets
as preventive of rheumatism This is
one of the mysteries have never faith
omed Only it does seem a willful per-
versity for people tosuffer SO, just to save
the trouble of carrying horse chestnut
Just as it seems pure malice in any one
ever to die when one looks through an
apothecary shop, reads the advertise
ments in the newspapers, or knows how
DR.. Cullis cures people by simply praying
for them, and then telling them they are

WHAT BAD DREAMS MEAN.

when boy he always felt it tincumbent
