Glass in Old Eoypt.

"The glass-blowers of Thebes were
as great proficients in their art as,
possibly greater than, we are after
the lapse Of forty centuries OF progress
and retrogresslon. They possessed
the. art of staining glass, and they
produced the commodity in the ut
most profusion: Rosellini gives an
illustration OF piece of stained glass
OF considerable taste OF design and
beauty of color, in which the color is
struck through the whole vitri6ed
structure, and there are instances of
the design beng equally struck through
pieces of glass half an inch thick,

both the diverse and the reverse side.

We're great glass-makers, and, says
one authority, not only had factor
les for common glass, but, profting
by their discovery Of the property OF
oxides of metals, which they got from
India, OF vitrifying different colors,
conceived the project of initiating all
precious stones 4 which commerce
brought them from that country.
"They we're favored by nature,
moreover in having at hand an un-
limited supply of pure sand and kale,
and their glass derived it's
good quality as well as from these
substances as from the farther fact
that in it's preparation they utilized
the ashes OF peculiar genus of kelp
that grew in abundance by Lake Ma
reotis and the red sea. They initiated
amethysts and other precious stones
with wonderful dexterity, and besides
the art of staining glass, they must
have been aware OF the use of the

Christmas In Poland.

It is customary in Polish villages
to strew straw over the Christmas

pick out each a straw therefrom,

ing bride to the altar during the ap-
preaching year; but dried straw
foretells to either long waiting, posi-
bly, even until death.
In other rural Polish districts, on
the "Christ's Eve" wine, beer, and
water are placed by a girl between
two candles on a table. She then re-
tires into a corner or an adjoining
room to watch the result reflected ina
mirror hung for this purpose. If as
the clock strikes midnight.
man enters and drinks the wine, she
is happy, for her wooer will be rich.
Should he drink the beer, she may
be content, for the wooer will
be ''well-to-do." II the water be
chosen, her husband will be
very poor. But if, as the
clock strikes, no man comes to her
table, the anxious maiden sl1iYers
with more than midnight terror, be-
lleving that she is doomed to be early
the bride of Death.
Poland is peculiarly rich in these
observances, spreading themselves
throughout the year, both sexes being
equally superstitious in this respect.
On New Years Eve the unmarried men
place themselves before a fire, and
bending down look beneath their legs.
Should a woman appear in the back
ground, it is the one they will marry;
but if they see a shape as OF a. coffin,
it forbodes for them death during the
year close at hand.-Chambers' Jour

Late Fall Pigs.

This is a subject on which there has
been much discussion pro and con,
some claiming that fall pigs can be
raised successfully while others say
not. | think they can, but that it
depends a great deal on circumstances,
or what might be more properly
termed conditions, also on the &C.
commodations.
II we have warm and pleasant
weather until the middle of November,
and a good, comfortable house at
night, then. along with proper food
and attention, it may be DONE On
Thanksgiving Day, 1886, we had a
SOW which narrowed seven pigs We
made a good warm pen for her in one
corner Of the barn by mailing up an
unused stall. AS soon as the pigs
were old enough to begin to eat, say
at 3 or 4 weeks Of age, we kept con
stantly before them in an adjoining
pen, where the old SOW could not get
at it, such food as soaked corn,
shorts and milk mixed, also
clear milk. They were kept in
the barn until about the LIST of
May, when they were turned out in
clover pasture and fed plenty of food,
along with what clover they wanted
to eat, until the following summer,
some time about the first week OF
July, when they were sold. Their
average weight at that time was 2lO
pounds, which think was fair. While
these did well I would not .dvise
having fall pigs come so late. I think
about the middle of September or
first OF October IS plenty late enough,
as that would give them from six to
eight weeks of nice weather to get. a
good start before the real cold weather
sets IN. Neither would / recommend
that you have any more pigs come
than you have accommodate for

How "a JEW CAN FIND a JEW.
The Queer Customs That Enables
One to Locate the Home OF An

The Queer Customs That Enables
One to Locate the Home OF An.
other.
A certain class Of Jewish peddlers
desire only to deal with people of their
own race. They visit the houses Of
the poorer quarters of the city, where
Jews live side by side with Germans,
SWedes, Bohemians, Poles, Irish, and
others, yet they never knock at the
door OF d room where other than a
Jew resides
How do they do this? Their certain
ty IS due to asimple cause not known
to the Gentile-Which dates back to
the time when history was young.
The Jewish Biblical story says that
Moses instructed his followers to keep
green the memory OF their departure
nom Egypt by marking their houses
SO that they could be distinguished
from those of the Gentiles. The last
curse sent to Pharaoh's people was the
slaughter of frst-borns. The Jews
marked their doors with lambs
blood, and the Destroying Angel
passed by the doors so marked. This
and the Biblical Injunction led to a
custom among the orthodox Jews.
which is followed to the present day.
On the door-frame at the entrance to
every Jewish house there is nailed a
little tin box, generally three or four
inches long and one-half or a whole
inch wide. 1t is usually placed six or
seven feet from the ground, and Il N it
rolled a piece of parchment contain
ing the passage from the Bible referred
to.
Not only is this placed at the
entrance to the home, but the door
frame of every room is adorned with
one of the"sacred emblems. Extremely
orthodox Jews touch the object and
kiss their fnger-tips every time they
pass beneath it. In portions OF
Europe where the jews are less modern
than here the little tin boxes are
placed at the outer entrance of the
houses, but here it is the custom to
nail them on the inner portion OF the
door-frames.
And it is by looking behind the
street door that the Jewish-peddler
can tell whether or not one of his CO.
religionists dwells within the house.

Breeding Poultry,

SNASA y
Before the poultry is fattened for
market q sufficient number for breed
ing purposes should be selected out.
These should be the best fowls on the
place, if the quality OF the flock is to
be kept up. With chickens it is not
best to keep all young hens or all
young pullets, as old hens make the
best mothers, while often pullets make
the best layers.
Keep one rooster. to every dozen
hens, if the poultry are to BE allowed
to run at large. Better resallts could
be obtained If the roosters could be
kept from the hens until they are Il
months. old. When young hens are
used the rOosters. should be 2<years
old. There is nothing gained by keep
ing more boosters than are needed for
breeding, as they add to thecost with
out increasing the income.
One turkey gobbler will answer for
q dozen hens, so that ordinarily one
will be all that will be necessary to
keep. From three to five hens How
ever, Will be as many as All ordinary
farmers wife will care to look after.
UNLESS q speciality is made OF keeping
them for the eggs, one drake and | five
ducks are, enough. They viii make a

A Job for Cold Weather.

A Job for Cold Weather y
Outdoor painting that has for any
cause been postponed, may now be
done to even better advantage then in
warm weather. It is not quite so
agreeable to paint outdoors in
cold weather as it is in the warm
months, and the paint does not
spread quite so easily; but there is
more leisure to attend to it, and the
paint, If it does take little longer to
dry, lasts better than when applied in
late spring or early summer. It is as
serted in fact that a coat OF paint
put. on now and one applied next
June will need renewing at the same
time, SO that there is an actual gain
Of half year in enjoyment Of the
fresh coat. The cost Of painting may
be very largely reduced by doing it
oneself. 1t is not a difficult craft to
learn, if one has 'gumption" and
uses his wits to get the knack OF it..
The farmer whose buildings need
painting, and are deteriorating for
the lack of it, may feel that he can
not afford to hire professional paint
ers at high wages to do the work.
But he can do the work himself,
taking his own time, at a good deal less
than half the cost. It is the time,
not the material, that counts up the
cost.
In buying paints avoid the prepared
article, which rarely proves durable.
1t is much better to buy the best white
lead and raw linseed oil, and mix the
colors as desired. Painters say that
the yellows OF various shades make
the most durable colors, and as they
are, unless too intense, agreeable to
the eye, it is desirable to use them
The best dryer to use is brown Japan,
other dryers, such as itharge. patent
dryer, sugar of lead, etc., being unreli-
able. Raw linseed, in connection with
the brown Japan, is preferable to the
boiled.
1t always pays, in getting paints for
outdoor work, to buy the best quality,
for a good article will long outlast an
inferior one.
