nrahIng Glass for n1osnIe wlndows.

But tho glass worker has only begun
his work when he has the molten metal"
simmering in his crucibles. 1t must un-
dergo many subsequent manipulations be-
fore it is available for the purpose of art.
Some of these, from n technical point of
view, seem retrogressional. 1t has been
found that the rich color effects In glass
in the middle ages are largely duo to the
imperfections in the material. Its lack
of homogeneousness, its unequal thick
ness, and @ surfaces contribute
largely to its beauty. The modern pro-
duct Is too uniform to be brilliant; it
transmits the light with too great regu-
larity. Intentional i~mperfections are,
therefore, introduced into the process;
and the products, in consequence, are
much more satisfactory to the artist.
This work of ind~ividualizing the product
has now been so far systematized that
several special brands of art glass IRE
recognized in the markets.
The so called antique glass, In both
white and c%olors, Is made precisely like
tho ordinary sheet window glass, except
that the surface of the glass Is made full
of minute blow holes, which produce
almost an aventurine effect, and add
greatly to Its brilliancy. In the cathe-
dral glass the surface is rendered wavy
and uneven, so that the transmission of
light shall be correspondingly irregular.
In the flash glass ordinary sheets are
covered with q thin plating of colored
glass, q process which permits q very
delicate color tone, and materially de-
creases the expense, where q costly glass,
such as ruby, Is needed to give the color.
But In mosaic work 1t is now generally
preferred that the glass shall not be at
all transparent, since the effect Is much
richer. Tho most of the glass is there
fore cast, the process being q repetition
in miniature of the casting of rough
plate.-Professor @. II. Henderson in
Popular Science Monthly.

I have mover heard Of q porcelain let
ter thief being arrested, and yet the Of
Tense Is very common. The letters make
tho prettiest and most prominent win
dow sign known, and have an advantage
In being easily removed and replaced on
another window. But they are expen-
sive on the original purchase, and some
what luxurious in keeping up. You fire.
quently see signs with prominent letters
missing, and you Immediately condemn
the sign ON the theory that the letters have
been broken or have fallen off. This Is a
mistake, and If you notice you will see
that all the missing letters are those in
common use. They are simply stolen.
The stealing business is one In itself. A
couple Of men go around at night, stand
In front of q door or window, and while
n watches the other quickly removes
the letters he desires. There Is some
special process by which this Is done
quickly and easily. These letters may
BIO used In other signs, or tho thief may
como around q few days later, notice the
missing letters, offer to replace them,
and actually put on your own letters.
OF course you can't swear to this and he
is safe, and you have simply paid him
for robbing you.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

We commend to the attention of the
Society for Psychical Research the latest
dream story in connection with racing.
A well known ex-military sportsman for
some weeks past had made up his mind
that he would try and dream the winner
of the Lincoln handicap. This ingenious
idea of his he announced to several of
his friends, who naturally smiled some
what skeptically on the would be seer.
However, on Monday night five times in
succession he dreamt that No. 10 had
won the race. AS there was no horse of
that name the sportsman In question
came to tho conclusion that his vision
must refer to the number on the card.
He made no secret of his belief, and yes
terdny morning he sent a messenger to
Kings Gross to get the card and back
his dream number. There were no cards
to be had at h station. Accordingly,
he wired to Messrs. w. II. Smith &
Sons bookstall ut Lincoln for the name
of No. 10 on the days card for the handi
cap. The answer camo back promptly,
"Wise Man" The resolute dreamer i'm
mediately backed the horee, with the
happy result that all wise racing men
low wot of. Every detail of this singu-
lar story is absolutely true, and there
arc many who can testify to having
heard the prophecy of Nc. 10 delivered
OF Tuesday afternoon.-London Tele-

The Piegans, as a class-and we learned
the same Is true of Indians everywhere
in the northwest-are exceedingly upper
stitious. Their bette noir is the evil spirit,
and somehow the idea prevails in the
mind of the average Indian that this
same dreaded evil spirit roams about
after dark and Is liable to pounce down
upon his victim at any time. For this
reason the Indian will not travel alone
at night. He is In dread of the wicked
parsonage referred to and does not care
to cope with him single handed. He Is
willing to travel at night IL accompanied
by others, and take his chances, but
alone, never. When darkness overtakes
him and he is on the tramp he stops,
lights q fire and camps where he is until
daylight. With the Indian misfortune
and disease are regarded as the result Of
the displeasure of their deity. Death in
some of the tribes in the great northwest
is believed to be an unhappy, an unde-i
sirable change, and when It occurs they
still live, although they take the form of
some creature among wild animals. And
so when this body puts off things mortal
it enters Immortality In the form Of
some lower animal-Troy Times.

Jenny Lind at Noun. vernon.

What old timer does not recollect the
coming of Jenny Lind to our shores In
1850 and the extraordinary furore Gre
ated by her singing? OF course / only
know what I've read about 1t, but I re-
member n incident in particular-her
visit to Mount Vernon. The great song
stress had been deeply touched by stories
of the illustrious patriot, and upon reach
ing Washington the first request was to
be taken to Mount Vernon. When Col.
Washington, the then proprietor of the
estate, heard of her wish, he chartered a
steamboat and made up q party, which,
beside Mr.. Barnum and Miss Lind, in
cluded Mr.. Seaton, the mayor of Wash
ington, and other notable citizens.
The boat landed near the tomb and tho
party proceeded thither. The Swedish
woman's big heart ran over as she drew
near this sacred spot. From this point
she was conducted to the mansion, where
o fine collation. was served With child
like enthusiasm she gazed upon every
relic of the great leader.
When the party had reached the libra
ry Col. Washington took a book from
one of the shelves and presented 1t to
her. Not only had it been Washington's,
but it contained his book plato and his
name written with his own hand. Miss
Lind wa greatly moved. She drew Mr..
Barnum aside and insisted upon making
some suitable return for the gift then
and there, and although her watch and
chain was a costly mt and had been a
present from n friend, Nh. Barnum had
great difficulty in restraining her from
at once ~bestowing 1t upon Col. Washing
ton ''The expense is nothing" she ex-
claimed, compared to the value of this
bookr" Dear, good soull Iwonder where
the book is nowl No doubt in possession
of her family and properly cared for as

Why He Didn't Hear II

They arc laughing over q blunder of n
United States examining surgeon up in
Caribou. He was examining for deafness
an applicant for a pension, and to test tho
mans left ear held a watch at some dis
tance and asked him If he could hear it
tick The answer was ''No," and the
same reply was given to repeated ques-
ions as the watch was brought nearer.
Put him down tote deaf in left ear"
the surgeon said, and holding the watch
away from the man right ear, tho Same
question was asked. To his surprise, the
answer WINS the same. 1t then occurred
to the surgeon to examine his watch, and
he found that it had stopped. Tho ex-
animation was begun all over again

1t is remarkable how moral courage
will almost always overcome brute force.
When Gen. Clarke vas subduing hostile
Indians he once had before him n chief

general list showed gains Of "a to a per

very slight gains in many of the stocks which
have been active for weeks past, and the
volume of business the first half hour was
good. Then the list became irregular.
Atchison, New England, Louisville and
Union Pacific were the active stocks. In the
irregular movement ST. Paul and Atchison
gained u per cent, while Chicago Gas and
Hooking Valley lost per cent each. AT the
end Of the hour the market was quiet and
heavy, with prices little changed from the
opening. Tho market became still more dull
toward noon, and the fluctuations were few
aid slight. Oregon Short line lost Q points
and Hooking Valley another point, with only
insignificant changes in the other stocks.
Before o'clock Louisville & Nashville
showed some strength and sold up a point
