wuo SHOULD BOW FIRST

A great deal of nonsense has been talked
about the question of whose place it ID to
bow first when a lady and gentleman meet
upon the street or in any public assembly.
1t is very absurd TO say that q MAI
should always wait until a lady has recog-
nized him. In this as in most other
matters, common sense and mutual con-
venience are the only guides. Many ladies
are near sighted; many others find great
difficulty in remembering faces.
The important thing, Of course, is that
a man should not presume.
When twe people meet who are really
acquainted it is not the man who should
necessarily bow first or tie lady-it il
whichever Of them is the hrst to perceiss
and recognize the other.

Is the honeymoon always happyq Vel

Is the honeymoon always happy? Well,
generally it is, but sometimes it is not.
Happiness is always-we are told by wise
people-greater in the anticipation than in
the reality. Young people. and especially
very young people, expect that the marriage
ceremony Will open for them the gates OF
Paradise, but when they find that it has
not they are east down and unhappy. Then
there is another trouble. Perhaps the
groom is thinking solely of his own happi-
ness and perhaps he bride is thinking SOLE
ly Of hers, and when they are married they
find ont, to their amazement, that happi-
ness lies solely in thinking the one Of the
other. Sometimes they think each p6rfec-
lion aud the honeymoon shows that they
have been oyer-sanguine, and then they
are disappointed. II the truth were known
it would be found that many heneymoens
have been disappointing experiences.

Trick DOGS.

Taking everything together, I think
the poodle is the best adapted for tricks
of any breed of dogs. Still 1 have seen
mo1grels that could perform marvellous
feats with grace and ease. For summer.
saults the compactly built terrier is prob.
ably the best breed of dogs. I once
knew IN artist who had French poodle
of wonderful sagacity. 1t lived with
him in his studio, and was taught to go
to the door when the postman came, and
take the letters from his hand and de-
liver them to its master. One day the
door bell rang and when it was opened,
a messenger boy came in instead of the
expected letter-carrier. Without show
ing the least temper, tue poodle spraug
against the swinging door, and by its
weight slammed it in the face of the as
tonished boy. 1t appears that once a
messenger boy offended the poodle, and
he took this method of ridding the studio
of his presence.
Some dogs have wonderful bump of
locality. This is more developed in
some dogs than in others, and those that
possess it to marked degree can easily
be taught tricks in fetching and carrying
that would also seem miraculous. 1

with his master. They went distance
of more than one hundred miles from
home. While they were there the mas
ter lost his dog, and went home without
MIN. A day later the truant made his
appearance. He had boarded train and
ridden home. I myself have lost my
dog in jersey City, and he has got on a
ferry-boat by himself, and come home
without loosing his way or being helped.
A word or two of good advice to con-
clude. Do not begin training your dog
to do tricks until he is ten months or a
year old. After you have taught him
one trick, go on to another, but not be-
fore he has mastered it thoroughly. In
rehearsing him in his tricks, always OBJ
serve the same order. Do not begin
with jumping to-day, and with standing
up and walking tomorrow. Be orderly
aud precise. and SO will your dog be-

Origin Of the Word Bronze.

From an examination of texts due to
the Greek alchemistS, extracted from
document of the sixteenth century, Mr..
Berthelot came to the conclusion, espec-
tally after comparing them with certain
passages in Pliny the elder, that the
name of bronze was derived from the
city of Brundusium, the seat of certain
manufactures in which this alloy was en-
ploycd. Now, Mr.. Bcrthelot has found
a text that is more ancient by three CEN
turies (for it dates back to the time of
Charlemagne), and the indications of
which are still more decisive. 1t is a
question of MS. found in the library of
the chapter of the Canons of Luynes, and
reproduced by Maratori in his Antiqui1
tatcs Italie. In the Latin text it is ex1
pressly specified as "Composition of
brindisi:' Copper two parts, lead onf
part, tin one part-a traditional FORMULA
that has come down to our time. lt
would, then, seem indeed as if the word
bronze was derived from the city
of Brindisi. where bronze was manufac!
tured on large scale.-A Genie cs0H. :

The Best Glasses Of American Make

All the glasses and spectacles sold here

exception Of the very poorest and cheap

The latter may be had-sold on the spot

And they are real, bona-fde spectacles.
The frame is made of hollow wire, bent

them. Su:h cheap spectacles cost in the

apiece. Such spectacles, of course, are
not much good, and are about as easily
broken as a raw egg. The principle
place OF manufacture for our American
spectacles is Southbridge, Mass, but
there are other places as well, all in the
East though.

"Well, said the veteran optician, it

Making Great Guns.

The forging of the immense guns is a
most interesting process. The rifed
guns of the present are made by re-en-
forcing the tube with rings and repeated
layers of steel called jackets. which are
fitted one over the other over the origi-
nal tube or barrel of the gun. The
Jackets or hoops must fit as closely to
the guns as if forming an integral part
of its composition. The only way to get
them on is, of course, by heating, and
thus enlarging them. When they cool
they fit snugly. 1t is evident that the
exact size of the jacket and ring when
heated so that it can be put in its place
must be matter of the incest mathe-
matical calculation. The coarse powder
now used makes such havoc with the
rifling OF the largest guns that one hun
dred charges are about all that can be
expected from them. The jackets and
rings can then be removed and fitted
to another tube.
The various parts Of a gun are not
put together at Bethlehem, but are sent
to Washington, to department of the
Arsenal called the assembling-room,
where the tube is riaed, and the gun is
finally completed. A steel gun of the
largest calibre costs about S100, ,00O. The
ordnance of our modern navy is, there
fore one of the most costly items for
which Congress is expected to display a
patriotic generosity. Weekly.

much, however, that the call of ten per

will be made Immediately. AS soon as
Trust Loan and Safe Deposit Company,
which has consented to act as trustee in
the matter, things will be in such shape
that can definitely announce that the
plant is assured.
Until this is accomplished, however,
there is no certainty in the matter; and
for this reason, too, l am not at liberty
to disclose the name of the concern. /
may add that the plant has been ex-
amined by competent expert. His re-
port is i'll every way satisfactory.
have looked into the matter personally
and visited the plant several times and
am satisfied that should it be secured
for Roanoke it would prove one of the
most important industries that have
been established in Virginia. 1t will

strong likelihood of growing to 500 men
in tho near future. Should the plant be
secured ground will be broken and the
