Blurred on . Sure Thing.

There were two Of the men in our gan,
Of Pennsylvania oil well drillers ant
blasters who were constantly foolin,
with the nitro-glycerine, They woult
take chances to make your hair stand OF
end, and the trouble was they imperilet
the safety of many others One of theil
favorlte pastimes was to get out aftel
monday lunch and toss two pound car
of stuff as far as they could heave it,
more than once saw them stand fifty
feet apart, and on three or four occasions
saw the can miss their clutch and fall to
the earth. Our foreman and all the
other men did a great deal of swearing
over this foolishness. and once the men
were discharged for it, but they were
taken back after time, and as we grew
more used to the stuff we took more
chances
One day the men got out with their
can, and as the fun was about to begin
our foreman said:
"Boys, that nonsense will be the death
Of you yet.
"Bet you ten to five it won't" replied
one of them.
"Yes, and I'll bet ten to one it won't, !"
blutfed the other, as he shook his wallet
at the foreman
The latter failed to cover, and as he
sauntered off down the hill followed
him. We had walked about 200 feet
when we were suddenly lifted up and
thrown fat to the earth, and then fol
lowed crash which seemed to have
rocked the continent. As soon as we
could get up we ran back to the derrick,
or where the derrick was. 1t had disap.
peared, as we'll as our shanty, and on
the site was hole into which you could
have dumped a cottage Not the slight
est scrap of the two can tossers could be
found, and the foreman and stood for
several minutes staring into the cavity.
Then he suddenly slapped his leg, waved
his hand in disgust and growled:

take those betsl"-New York Sun

groom, the bridesmaids and their beaux,
the landlord and his wife and to the
mother of the bride, who spoke to us in
French. One Of the relatives of the
bride spoke to Cousin - in German,
They insisted upon our remaining to the
ceremony, and we were presented seats
OF honor on beautiful blue satin furni-
ture. The ceremony was not in Bulgar-
ian, but Greek. with seven priests, can
dies, incense and high mass. We were
kept standing just one hour.
In the middle of the service their
photographs were taken. They were
crowned with orange blossoms and the
men all embraced afterwards; also the
ladies. One Of the bridesmaids was very
pretty and spoke English. She made
herself very pleasant and wanted to know
if l had ever met friend of hers, Miss
B.,who was attending school in America
Now that l have described the wedding
party. let me give you an idea of our ap-
pearance in such distinguished company.
After spending all night in the smoky,
dirty train and with no accommodation
for toilet, we reached here at 70 noon.
hurried through some luncheon, brushed
our head, and, fortunately, put on clean
gloves. So we appeared amidst silks
and satins, in travelling hats, dresses and
the largest shoes we possessed, and feel
ing like tramps-1 think we attracted as
much attention as the bride.
Afterwards we drove through the park
and then walked through the trading
part of the city.
Our courier is native of Constanti-
nople, and says the Turks are very
dirty people and never kill any living
thing, it being part Of their belief that
God created everything for purpose,
except the Christians. He says feas are
a natural production of the country and
that we must not mind them.-Cor. st.

Co-Operative or Assessment VS.. Old Line
Life Insurance Companies.


Life Insurance Companies.
Cooperative insurance means promis-
ing you something for less than it costs
1t is the discarded plan in regular COM
panies of ''die to win" policy. If you
die before the company bursts your wife
MAY get SOME money. None of the poll
cies agree to pay fixed amount, but only
what au assessment will net. Say that
you stay in an assessment company for
five years (the average length of life of
such associatlons), the company or associ
al. IN "goes up;" you get nothing. You
don't pay your assessment on the day
you get nothing; you drop out of the or
der or company-you get nothing.
The New York Life has been organized
45 years. Assets to protect policy hold
ers, $95,0O0,000. So it Is the strongest of
all. You have 30 days grace on all prem
lums, including the first, so don't delay
insuring. You don't care or are unable
to make payments and we give you paid
up policy. The company takes no mans
money that it is not willing to render an
equivalent.

PARIS, Nov. 27.-The sensation of the
moment is the publication of the open
ing chapters of Emile Zola's new novel
"The Human Brute" which has so
monopolized interest that but little atten-
tion has been paid to half dozen of the
first performances of new plays during
the week. This novel, for which the
great portrayer of the dark and repellant
eide of human nature has been making
special studies for five years, appears IN
"La Vie Populaire." and the first numbers
have had the prodigious sale of 250,OOO
copies, a result attained as much by in
genious advertising as by its literary at
tractiveness.

Cloth Made of Glass.

NJ Dubus Bonnet, of Lille, France has
invented process of spinning and weav-
ing glass into cloth. The warp is composed
Of silk, forming the body and groundwork,
on which the pattern in glass appears, as
effected by the welt. The requisite f1exi-
bllity of glass thread for manufacturing
purposes is to be ascribed to its extreme
fneness, as not less than from fifty to sixty
of the original threads tspun by steamer.
CINE power are required to form one
thread of the welt. The process is slow,
for no more than q yard Of cloth can be pro-
duced in twelve hours. The work. how
ever, is extremely beautiful and compare
lively cheap. A French paper, comment
ing on this discovery, says: when we
figure to ourselves an apartment decorated
with cloth of glass, and respondent with
lights, we must be convinced that it will
equal in brilliancy all that the imagination
can conceive and realize; in a word. the
wonders of the enchanted palaces mel
toned in the Arabian tales"
