A New Substitute for Glass.

The new translucent substance in
tended as a substitute for glass has
been satisfactorily adopted in some of
the public buildings of London, and
various advantages are claimed for it,
among these being such a degree of
pliancy that it may be bent backward
and forward like leather and be sub
jected to very considerable tensile
strain with impunity; it is also almost
as transparent as glass and of pleas
ant amber color, varying in shade from
very light golden to pale brown. The
basis of the material is a web of fine
iron wire, with warp and welt threads
about one-twelfth inch apart, this
being inclosed, like fly in amber, in
a sheet of translucent varnish, of
which the base is inseed oil. There
is no resin or gum in the varnish, and
once having become dry it is capable
of standing heat and damp without
undergoing any change, neither hard
ening nor becoming sticky. Briefly,
the manufacture is accomplished by
dipping the sheets edgewise into deep
tanks of varnish, and then allowing
the coating which they thus receive to
dry in warm atmosphere. It requires
somewhat more than dozen of these
dips to bring these sheets to the re-
quired degree of thickness, and, when
this has been accomplished, the ma
terial is stored for several weeks to
thoroughly set.

How to Build Up the Teeth.

Teeth are just as easily starved to
death as the stomach. If we do not
furnish to the teeth of the young that
pabulum they require, they cannot
possibly be built up. It is the outside
of corn, oats, wheat, barley, and the
like, or the bran so-called, that we sift
away and feed to the swine. that the
teeth actually require for their proper
nourishment. These fouring-m mills are
working destruction upon the teeth of
every man, woman, and child who par
takes of their fine bolted -four. They
sift out the carbonates and the phos-
pilates of lime in order that they may
provide that fine white -four which is
proving q whitened sepulcher to teeth.
Dat meal is one of the best foods for
supplying the teeth with nourishment.
It makes the dentine, cementum, and
enamel strong, fint-like, and able to
resist all forms of decay. If you have
children, never allow any white bread
upon your table. Bread made of whole
wheat ground, not bolted, so that the
bean which contains the minute guam
titles of lime is present, is best. Baked
beans, too, have q considerable supply
of these lime salts, and should be on
your table, hot or cold, three times
week. In brushing the teeth, always
brush up and down from the gum in.

A Cheap Girl to Woo.

I knew young fellow who was very
sweet on Scotch spinster. She was q
wealthy Scotch spinster, but if there
is kind of woman who must be loved
economically and for herself alone it is
Scotch spinster. Scotch spinsters are
warranted to make good wives all the
time. It is awfully hard to be untrue
to Scotch woman. She makes you
SO very comfortable, and holds you to
her not so much by her heart as by
your bank account. She doesn't always
want new bonnets; she is rather liable
to object even to your having new
hat until the old one is quite worn out.
A Scotch wife can keep her husband
neat and trim and herself and her chill
dren as well at smaller expense than
any others. She doesn't want diamond
earrings for her birthday.
All you have to do is to show her
your bank book and kiss her, and tell
her you owe the big balance to her, and
she is quite satisfied. This young fell
low did not understand the Scotch
spinster, and when he thought to
please her he sent her lovely and ex-
pensive basket of flowers. He went up
to receive her thanks and smiles and
he was quite knocked over when she
told him he hadn't big enough salary
to waste it buying flowers for her or
anybody else, and she was sorry to see
he was so extravagant, because other
wise he was "a very pleasin' young
man." He lied himself back into her
good graces by saying he had got the
flowers for nothing, and he thought he
could not make better use of them.
She smiled graciously, and said:
"Seein' they did ma cost you any
thing, it's great compliment.
She was a woman after all.

That was Paul Rogers plea on the

he said when, three days later, he was
asked to state why sentence Of death
should not be pronounced upon him.
That was what he said on the morning
of the day appointed for his execution
He made no explanation-attempted

few who were permitted to witness his
death at the hands of the hangman
were gathered in that part of the
"Tombs" prison set apart for that event,
awaiting his appearance. Suddenly q
startling announcement was made:
"The condemned man has been re-

With what start Paul Rogers, then
just about to set out on the march to

The game was played between our own

stood at his side. Il had thought il
was almost over"
At that moment his attorney en-.
tered, accompanied by SAMSON.
With two or three deft movements
the detective severed the cords with
which Paul Rogers had been bound for
the gallows, saying eagerly:
1T was 1 who put these bonds upon

yet I passed what I believed was
my last night on earth. Am I indeed

"Your innocence is already estab.

As he spoke he placed letter in the
young mans hand. It was a hasty
scrawl, which ran as follows:
@To whom it may concern:

aAnd is Simon Booker dead?" asked
Paul.
"Yes; he died horrible death from
poison. This letter was found clutched
in his hand"
In an hour Paul Rogers was free to
go where he listed. He was also, by
virtue of his late uncle's will, a very
rich man. Life was full of brightness
to him as it is to all such favored ones,
but he was a gray, prematurely old
young man, who seldom smiled even
when his companions laughed loudest.
Looking at Paul Rogers one day as
he dashed past him on his blooded
steed en- route for Central Park for an
hours ride, John SAMSON the de-
tective muttered:
@The sight of that man always makes
me ashamed of myself. The thought

He studied Paul Rogers face closely,
as he asked:
@Was no weapon found?"
"Not yet"
@How did the assassin gain entrance
to the house. and how did he go out
again ?"
Il cannot even guess.
SAMSON quickly made an e1amlna-
ton of the premises, but found no
clue. =.
Unjust look your room over, too,
he said, as he pushed past Paul Rogers
and walked into the latter's apart
ments. As he crossed the threshold, he
uttered cry of surprise.
Before him, on the floor, lay re-
volver.
It was small fve-shooter, and one
of its chambers had been recently emp
tied.
As the young man saw the weapon in
the detectives hand, he cried out:
Where did you get that?"
Fright here on the floor of your
ROOM" said SAMSON, sternly. Il see
YOUR initials are carved on the handle.
Is this weapon yours? ?"

o'clock. It was at that time that l

@Where was this revolver at that
time?"

corner"

"Was this chamber then empty?"
@No; 1 loaded it only yesterday.

time, and only last night decided to lay
it aside and buy different one when
went down town this morning."
"Mr. Rogers, went on SAMSON, cold
ly; when were you first aware that
your uncle made recent will in your
favor?"
Il am not aware of it."
"Do you not know that. and are you
not also aware of the fact that strong
influence was being brought to bear
upon him to induce him to leave the
bulk of his property to Simon 81. Book
er and Henry Booker, his brother.?"
Il know nothing about it. I never
conversed with my uncle or any one
else on the subject of his will"
"You are strangely ignorant upon a
subject of so great Importance to you.
Now tell me how any one but you
could have opened that box and taken
the revolver out of it?
The young man grew slightly pale.
"Ah!" thought the detective. HE
is either beginning to be Influenced by
guilty fear, or he now for the first
time realizes what differences may be
drawn from the circumstances as he
states them"
@The box was locked" said the young
man slowly. Il had and still have the
key in my pocket. I am sure no one
was In my room until after I left this
morning"
Let me take the key" said SAMSON.
The young man did as directed, and
the detective opened the box and be-
gan to examine its contents.
@Show me where you laid the revolt
ver?"
Right here, in this little compart-
ment of the tray which forms the up
per portion of the box"
~What is under the tray?"

SAMSON lifted the tray and emptied
the contents of the box on the dressing
case.

Did you not put it here?"
@No."

paper. Il will take it and this revolt

L mean that there is enough cir
cumstantial evidence against you to

my sight without permission"
Am I then under arrest?"
Not exactly, only under my eye,
said the detective. @Please send for q
surgeon"
Paul Rogers obeyed. Upon his ar
riyal the surgeon was directed to probe
the wound in the dead mans head and
