One of the lost arts, provided it ever
existed, was the malleable glass of the
ancients. The Egyptians and the Phn.
nicians made glass-for many early spec.
linens remain-fully 1000 years B. C.
In the reign of Tiberius a person ap.
peared in Rome who claimed that he had
invented infexible glass. The story
tells that he produced n glass vase
which he cast On the marble floor with
vehemence, so as to bend it, but restored
its shape with a few blows from a ham.
mer, and that, at the solicitation of 9
mob of artifcers, who feared that the
new process might supersede the use Of
their vessels of metals. the emperor re
tanned the glass vase, but ordered the in.
g~enious artist to be put to death.
Since then two or three other persons
claimed the discovery of n process fol
making malleable glass, but nothing
came of it. The art, however, is scarce
ly %'lost," for in the glass houses OF
Murano, close to Venice, they make
glass plates which can be bent and
thrown about without breaking, but
will not bear to be hammered. Every
one almost has seen what is called spun
glass, which you can Irvine round the
finger as if it were silk; but this cannot
be converted by any process into a yes
sci to hold water. Malleable glass i,

found, art.-Thomas j. Bowditch in

EXAMINATION DINNERS.

How they Are Conducted for the Cook.
Ing Class In Pratt Institute.
The floor is spotlessly clean, the little gas
stoves at a division Of the long tables
where the young cooks prepare their yiands
are in perfect order. Each drawer CON
tains its proper allowance Of spoons, knives,
measuring cups, graters, egg heaters, etc,
and is as fresh and sweet as It can be
made. The big range smiles with a black
good humor across the room to the pol
ished glass doors of the buffet, where q
pretty china table service is displayed.
The trying times for the young house
keepers, after the six months course Is
completed, are the examination and the
test dinner which each student must
satisfactorily prepare before receiving her
certificate. For the test dinner she receives
n plain bill Of fare, consisting OF soup, fsh,
roast, vegetables, dessert and coffee, each
article being specified In kind, and this she
is TO serve nicely in courses to a little com
pany Of guests which always includes
some Of her instructors. Official guests
are often requested to mark their estimates
of the various dishes presented.
For instance, a well favored nppetizing
soup may be marked 100; the fish or roast,
lacking in some respects in cooking or ser
vice, receives 90; the vegetables, being Just
about right, IS. Perhaps a slow fire has
spoiled the bake" of a fourth dish, and 90
is the highest mark allowed by one Just
diner; while another, compassionating the
anxiety Of the young hostess, lets mercy
run away with his Judgment and puts
down an 80 for the unfortunate dish. But
in general the favored guests speak in the
highest terms of the choice cooking and
dainty methodical service Of the pupils in
the cooking classes.
An additional course in fancy cooking,
and another in the selection, preparation,
and serving Of food for lnvalids, are offered,
and hundreds Of Brooklyn young women
are being trained in one of the most useful
of all h~ousewifely arts, and fitting them
selves TO help their mothers now, and to
superintend homes of their own by and by.
There are also evening classes where those
who are employed in any way through the
day are admitted at lower rates OF tuition.
Occasionally a man comes over from Full
ton market bringing a mysterious looking,
odd shaped bundle, and various knives
and saws. Perhaps the bundle contains a
quarter of beef or a side OF mutton, which
the man cuts up in the presence of the
class, explaining carefully where are the
best pieces for roasts, soups and stews. He
teaches the pupils how to tell whether the
meat is in good condition Hanging on
the walls is a large colored drawing OF a
COW marked off in portions for cooking,
and on the following day each scholar is
expected to tell how she would go market
ing and select a first class dinner.-St.

The cashier of a downtown bank said
recently when the public learned which
end of the check they should sign their
names on it would be a great and glori-
day for the employees of the banks
in New York. when the public has
been taught this little detail" the CASH
Ter said, ''it would be well to give the
banks a lesson in printing their checks.
The latest fashion in checks is by far the
most convenient one. All of the in
formation on the check which is of value
TO the banker is placed on n end. At
the right hand upper corner is the date.
Under this is the name of the man to
whom the check is drawn. Beneath this
again is the amount of the check in fig
ures, and right below that the signature
of the man who draws it. The other end
Of the check is filed with the name of
the bank, and 81 on.
1.-THE advantages of this form of check
are: First, that the date, amount, signer
and drawee can be seen at a glance;
second, if the check is bound up with
dozens of other checks and bills it is not
necessary to pull 1t out from the bundle
to get information about it. A cashier
can a up a package of such checks,
thumb over the ends, and set them aside
in less time than it would take to go
over two or three checks of the older
form. Nearly all of the larger banking
houses and big corporations nave adopt
ed the check, and it will eventually find
Its way down to the smaller concerns."-

American women are not as a rule self
ish. Too many of them are nlggard in
their expenditures for their own comfort
and lavish with their children and friends.
There are a great many more women who
are wasteful of strength and nervous
energy than there are women wasteful
with money. A spendthrift Is one who Il
wasteful with the means given him. The
woman who throws away her health In
pursuit Of a real or fancied good, or for
the necessities of life, is a worse manager
than a spendthrift of money, inasmuch as
health and strength are more valuable
capital than any money that can be saved
by the expenditure of them.
The French women, who are proverbially
good managers, seldom scrimp themselves
or their households, but by the most sedu-
lous care secure well made clothing and a
comfortable, even luxurious, table, on a
sum that most American families would
be unabl to live upon without the great
est personal sacrifices. The knowledge of
such domestic economy as this is sadly
needed in a country where, without a
doubt, as much wholesome food is thrown
away as is consumed, where as much ma
tertAl Is cast into the ragbag or thrown
away rs is used in dress, and where more
than double the money is paid and double
the time allotted to the ordinary domestic
worker than is required to accomplish the
same task in countries where low prices
compel people to do all they can in a speci.

rumors as TO the ultimate destination OF
the necklace, it was purchased for a

Miss Abbott's illness is a grim sarcasm
upon the exceeding care which she took
of herself for the last twelve years. No
other woman upon the stage exercised
greater vigilance in the protection of her
health. The pains which Miss Abbott
took to secure proper rest and sleep
made that lady a veritable terror to no.
tel proprietors. She invariably insisted
upon a room at the top OF the house, and
this apartment had TO be hung around
with blankets and quilts to exclude light
and noise. The dread Of draughts kept
her in constant terror, and never during
the season would she venture out of
doors without being enveloped in furs
and rugs. OF horses she was particularly
afraid, and, although bhe was compelled
to employ them almost constantly, she
never had a feeling of security while in
a carriage. Never was there a woman
so completely a slave to her regard for

The value of the postage stamp as a time
saver seems to be unknown to most wom-
en-. The readiness with which half the
women you know will take upon them
selves errands that really require a great
deal Of time rather than do the errand by
the aid of the post is amusing. Some
times it is pathetic. A busy woman with
many calls upon her time will go II long
way 10 change a pair of gloves or to return
a borrowed handkerchief when a postage
stamp would save her an hour of time.
Short letters will take the place of calls in
nine cases out of ten when the calls are
merely for small errands. The truth is,
there is too great a regard for those small
expense which are after all economies
with most OF the less rich half of creation.

Our esteemed contemporary is on rec
ord as saying that the act demonetiziug
silver was IAN event which was accom-
plished by the ~6nanclers of Wall street to
the detriment of the country. This act,
which cannot be justified either in morals
or political economy, is no doubt the
foundation of our present difficulty. 1t
was Z gross outrage upon the people of
the United States, in the interest of the
money bags Of the world. Had an issue
Of that kind ever been submitted to the
people it would have been decided ad-
versely BY a two-thirds majority"
If it was a gross outrage then. why
perDetuate it? The people have now felt
its burthens for eighteen years. If the
act demonenzing silver was in the inter.
est of the money bags, why NOT remone-
tie it in the interest Of the people, An
