The Story of q Mythical Sword.

When John Brown went to conquer
the South with twenty-three men he
believed that the less he trusted arms
OF flesh the more Jehovah might be
depended on to unsheathe his sword
The only other sword Brown consid-
cred worthy to be used by the Almighty
was that which Washington was said
to have received from Frederick the
Great. One of Browns men Cook
came as a spy to Bel Air. and was hos
pitablv shown the Washington relics
for which he inquired. Brown told
Colonel Washington. after taking him
prisoner, that he wished to get hold of
the sword because it has been used
by two successful generals" The
superstition cost him dear. In order
To get the sword Brown detached six
of his men to go after it-tive miles
away. He thus lost half dav. and
all chance of escape. Seventeen lives
were offered as on an altar before this
mythical sword. Aoncure d. Conwag.

TWAS A DEADLY INSULT.
How Mean Little Man stopped a Col
icg- Song That Troubled Him.

1t was Il jolly party from a college
glce club. That the members of it
were in jovial-not to say hilarious
mood was evident from the fact that
they wanted to sing regardless of the
feelings or convenience of other occu-
pants of the room: that they were from
a college was apparent from the fact
that they sang college songs; and that
they were members of glrc club was
apparent from the fact that they sang
we'll together.
OF course no one but crank or a
man with bad liver would ind fault
with college boys for making II noise.
but there was little man at one of
the tables who was Just mean enough
to Object. He was trying TO tell Il
story, but every minute or two the
young fellows laid aside their cham
payne long enough 10 interrupt with
song.
Finally the little sourfaced man
grew desperate. and. calling the pro-
pretor OF the place TO him. asked why
he permitted so much no Sc.

the reply.
But the little man wasn't satisfied,
and when four of the young fellows
got up, formed Semi-circle. and be-
gan Il quartet it was more than he
could stand.
He jumped up. grabbed his hat.

crooked his back, and began hopping
around the room like n monkey. hold
lug the hat out 10 every one he saw.
There was a roar of laughter as the
crowd caught onto the inference.
and nickels and dimes were thrown iu-
10 the hat.
The song ceased instantly and for Il
moment it looked as though some
champagne bottles were to be thrown.
But they weren't. The laughter was
too much for the college boys aud they
subsidized. They finished their repast
and their champagne without singing.

this case is compound plunger. There
Is plunger within plunger, made so
as to fit into the outer plung-
er and make a complete whole,
without lamentations. The COM
pound plunger is fitted to form the
bottom of the bottle. AS it is pushed
up through the molten glass, film of
glass, forming the body of the bottle, is
gathered around the plunger. Arrived
at the proper height. the outer plunger
is lowered and the smaller inner plunger
keeps on going up. The result is that
the plastic glass is drawn down to the
size OF the inner plunger and the neck
OF the bottle formed. 1t is all done quick
ly and easily without the use of molds
of human lungs.
Mr.. Pease, together with the gentle
men mentioned at the beginning of this
article as being associated with him, are
all ready to begin the manufacture of
glass according to the methods laid
down in these patents, here described
correctly for the first time. This, how
ever, is manufacturing industry that
neither Minneapolis or st. Paul can
claim. They already have plant erected
at cost of $4,000 in Rose township
Just over the line in Ramsey county.
The plant is in neither Minneapolis or
st. Paul. The plant is small as yet. but
enough capital has been interested to
insure the pushing of an extension of
the plant. Mr.. Pease thinks that he
has a big thing in these inventions,
which are but amplifcations of others
on which he has been awarded letters
patent. lie is not working on theory.
He has demonstrated by actual work
that his methods will work to the entire
satisfaction of any practical glassmaker.

be five days of the fifteen on which LOO of
an inch or more of rain may be expected.
The remaining ten days will be fair The
days will be warm, the early mornings and

not be oppressive nor the evenings chilly
