''(iive Way and maoe for the dim loom

'Give way" and maze for the dim loom
thaseold where the shore lay.
Dandy Jack" was in our boat, and
our boat was in the van. Soon we saw
that we had entered the mouth of an
inlet, and we as quickly noticed that we
were headed for the southern bank.
The morning was misty, and backward,
but the pallor of the coming day was
growing in the east, and we knew that
we would soon be discovered if good
watch was kept, when we felt the boats
keel grind on the sand, and s'Dandy
Jack" said in the soft, clear tone that
was his popularity:
STEADY now, boys, and get ashore as
soon as you can, and be sure to keep
your arms dry"
He led the way, jumping lightly to
the sand, and we followed, forming ranks
with our faces from the water.
The indistinct line of an elevation
rose hundred yards or so from us, but
we did not think this was fortification
till, just as we fixed bayonets, sharp
startled cry echoed from it:
Who goes there?"
Forward" cried Dandy Jack" as
he led the way on, not waiting to see
whether the other boats were all in.
A sharp report rang out, followed by
the call 'To arms! to arms!'' and we
rushed on after our commander.
Wiry and light of foot, he kept little
ahead of us, and we saw him scramble
up the earthwork we were assaulting,
and stand, with his sword waving US on,
at its crest.
Already we were nearly up with him,
when red flash shone out followed by
the rattle of muskets. and this was sue

showing us Dandy Jack'' topping back

to gain.
He fell in one of our crews extended
arms, and maddened by the sight, we
sprang forward, quickly scaled the wall
and charged, reckless mass of animated
vengeance on the men forming within
the works. They were well handled and
ably led, but they could not resist the
rush of our onset, and gave way, some
f1inging down their arms and surrender
ing, while portion fed to their rude
barracks for shelter.

formed part of his crew, considered the
purchase dear.
He had taught us lesson we never

BEGINNING OF A BOTTLE
Processes Employed in the Manufacture
of Glassware

Processes Employed in the Manufacture
of Glassware.
The process begins with the gatherer.
His blowpipe is a tube of wrought iron,
five or six feet long, and of lighter
weight than the pipe used in blowing
window glass. He dips the end of his
pipe into the molten contents of the
boot, and brings out mass of red-hot
plastic glass. If the bottles to be blown
are small, one gathering suffices, but,
for larger wares, two or even three
gatherings may be necessary to get the
requisite supply of material on the end
of the blowpipe. When the gathering
is done properly, this lump of red-hot
glass is perfect homogeneous mass.
It's subsequent fortunes rest with the
blower. He takes the blowpipe from
the gatherer, and resting the plastic
glass against maryering table of stone
or cast iron, he gives the pipe a few
adroit rotations, thus fashioning the
glass into an even cylindrical shape.
BY further rolling it along the edge OF
the table he forms the smaller prolonga-
tion of glass which is afterward to be-
OOAlC buO uOCk VI bu6 DOGblG. L11G1nQ
the still red-hot glass from the table,
he blows through the pipe, forming a
small bubble of air in the interior of
the mass of glass. This is afterward
extended until it becomes the inward
ness of the bottle.
The partly fashioned bit of glassware is
now introduced into the mold which one
of the ''shop" boys has already opened to
receive it. For convenience in working.
the mold is placed on a somewhat lower
level than that on which the blower
stands. 1t is made of cast iron, and is
commonly formed in two pieces. One of
these is stationary, while the other
opens outward, it's motion being con-
trolled by foot lever. When the blower
places his incomplete bottle, still at
tached to the blowpipe, into the mold,
he closes the mold with his foot, and
blows through the pipe until the plastic
glass is everywhere forced against the
sides of the mold, and has impressed
uponit the form of its prison.-Prof. c. FL.
Henderson, in Popular Science Monthly.

The Lord MAYOR Of London.

The Lord Mayor receives from the city
of London for his year of office $50, 600
and on an average spends SAC, 900 to $780,
600 in excess of allowance. He has no
other provision except the use of the
Mansion House and its furniture. Wine
stands as one of the chief items of ex-
penditure. In the basement of the
Mansion House there are quite as many
cellars as there are aldermen who have
not passed the chair, and it has been the
practice Of aldermen to lay in stock of
wine long before their mayorality. This
was done to much greater extent some
years ago, when it was more the fashion
to drink port wine. Then an alderman
would place in the cellar allotted tc
himself pipes of port sometimes years
before it would be put on the tables Of
the Egyptian hall The wine not con-
sumed is usually sold or removed by the
outgoing Lord Mayor. There is no rea-
son to doubt that Mr.. Whitehead's may
orality has cost 500, OOO.-Manohestsr

How to Obtain Pretty Effects at a Very
Small Expense.
Side panels of plain wool dress goods
are decorated with design of leaves and
flowers woven in with color. The same
effects are also obtainable with brush,
and will make the cost of the dress
much less. Harmony must be consid-
cred. For dark green, the leaves
must be lighter in shade, and the flowers
dark crimson.
For brown wool dress, paint the
flowers and leaves in monochrome, or.
in other words, all in brown, only tend.
ing towards lighter or darker shade
according to the color of the goods.
Turpentine must be used to thin the
paint, and the work must resemble the
woven designs in this respect. The
paint must not show; it must be thin
more like tapestry painting. A design
of leaves, as much brown as green, with
red berries, like the red haw, in clust-
ers, would be very pretty ON nearly any

A Mathematical Puzzle.

Afriend asks me to multiply SIS by S5.

Now multiply 500 cents, give the answer

surprised to see the figures climb up to
$50, 900 cents which is 50, 500. As S5 and
500 cents are equivalent, the result is
puzzling. It can not be urged that dec
imal marks should be used A cent. as
such, is as distinct unit as a dollar,

result. But there is clearly something
