THE GLASS BLOWERS EXHIBITION

The entertainments given by Ander-
sons glass blowers last week were very
instructive and entertaining. The com
pany had stands erected around the
hall where they manufactured many
different articles of glass, and it was
indeed a sight to see the process of
making glass. Each evening from nine
until ten o'clock music was furnished
for dancing and many of our young
people seized the opportunity and en-
joyed an hour in tripping the light
fantastic toe.
On Wednesday evening a prize was
given to the young lady under sixteen
years of age, in the hall, securing the
most votes as the most popular lady in
the hall. The prize was awarded to
Miss Maud 10y. On Thursday even
ing prize was given to the handsom-
est lady in the room and this was given
to Miss Jennie Clapsaddle The prize
on Friday evening was to be given to
the homeliest man and was secured by
Mr.. Westhaver. A contest was inaug,
urated on Tuesday evening and kept
up during the week, to decide the pref
test child under four years in the town
and Miss Bessie Lesher was the win
ner. The presents given were all Of
the manufacture of the company
Greencastle Press.

a Blue Law Sabbath,

Il was born in Massachusetts" said
he, land reared in a strict Puritan fam
lily. The Sabbath commenced on Satur-
day night, when we children were re-
quired to study the Scriptural lesson for
the next day. After an early breakfast
next morning we went at our lesson
again until church time. The morn
ing service was from 10 to - o'clock,
composed chiefly of a long winded ser
mon, during which we were required t.
keep awake, pay strict attention and be-
have ourselves. This was followed by
Sunday school, where we recited our
lessons correctly or suffered severe con
sequences.
After IL cold lunch at home, for moth
ing was cooked on Sunday, we attended
church again from 2 until 4 p. IN. The
interval between this time and Z o'clock
prayer meeting vas occupied with re-
ligiOus reading or reflection, no frivolous
games or diversions being permitted on
this solemn day. AS a special dispense
ton we were given hot tea for supper.
Prayer meeting was out at o'clock, and
from that hour until bed time we sat
quietly at home reading such thrilling
and interesting works, especially to chill
dren, as Bakers Saints Rest and
Fox's Book of Martyrs | used to
sympathize with those martyrs, and
their miserable state with

How Men Garry Their Hands.

"a sure indication of character is
found in the way in which a MAI car
ries his hands," said &. G.. Clarke, of
Boston. "You notice men on the streets.
See the young man with swinging arms
and palms which are displayed to all
who take the trouble to look. He is one
Of hat class whose heart is as open as
his hands. He is frank, unsuspiciOus, a
free spender and a believer in the hon
esty Of his fellows. Notice the business
MAJ more advanced in years. His hands
are always closed SO tightly that h.
gives you the impression he is ever ex-
pecting an attack. This is the attitude
of men bent upon a certain object. it
is an attitude which displays the quail
ties of determination and fight.
In debate you will observe some of
our lawmakers emphasize a statement
by hammering the desk before them
with their knuckles, while others, ap-
p~arently equally imprisoned, are salts
fed with the use Of the palm. You may
rest assured that if sheer determination
will succeed, the man who applies his
knuckles will win before his colleague
who uses his palm."-St. Louis Globe

Must Have Their Sea Legs On.

Il tell you it requires a good deal of
practice to be able to stand in the cab of
a rapid running passenger train and fire
the coal into the tirebox," said a West
Penn employee, in speaking of the risks
run by trainmen. The engine rocks,
SWAPS and fairly jumps at times under
his feet, and if the fireman doesn't mind
his p's and as he is liable to lose his bal
ance and be flung from the rapid gated
train. This is more especially the case
in rounding a curve, where, if the bal
ance is lost, the fireman may be hurled
from the train. | remember a case in
point which happened a comparatively
short time ago Oh the Fort Wayne. A
fireman was flung from his engine one
dark night as the train was rushing
along. OF course he was soon missed
and IA search made. He was found,
and, wonderful to say, vas not seriously
injured. "-Pittsburg Post.

4 Story of General Grant.

once heard, with reverence and with
misty eyes, the story of General Grants
return from the last brief journey he
ever took from the cottage On Mount
Macgregor. The general had a favorite
walking stick, without which he never
went abroad, even on his drives, and his
walking stick had its own place in the
corner of his room; no hand but his OWN
w put it there or took it thence. Day
after day the journey from his chair to
that corner before he set forth, from the
corner to his chair after his return and
the replacement of the stick in its place,
grew more difficult to the generals
nerveless and weary feet.
And there came that day at last when.
on coming in, he glanced toward the
corner, stood for a moment silently,
waveringly, a little culver on the brave
and steadfast lips; and then, with a ges-
ture which was a wOrdless remuneration
Of life and all it's dear associations, he
opened his tremulous hand and let the
old stick drop from it to the floor at his
feet. 1t was but a few days later that
he entered with a soldiers courage the
shadowy valley of the journey through
which David said, Thy rod, ting staff.

Notions About Sleep.

One of the rudest acts in the eyes OF
a native of the Philippine islands is tc
step over a person asleep on the floor.
Sleeping is with them a very solemn
matter. They are strongly averse tC

during sleep the soul is absent from the
body, and may not have time to return
if slumber is suddenly broken.

A r>o Fnterprisinp Collector.

knew him. He was well TO do and a
very learned man. He was a great buy

nobody else's library was safe If II con-
tanned a book he coveted. For a long
time his victims did not suspect him.
He would call, spend an hour or two
among their books and go away. Final
" one bibliomaniac, who had suffered
most severely, had his suspicious arous-
ed. Even then he dared not utter them,
10 he went TO his lawyer about it.
The lawyer had him make out a list
of the volumes lost. They were all OF
extreme rarity and great value. Armed
with this list the lawyer called on the
suspected man and introduced himself
as a collector from the west. He had
heard of the gentleman as a bibliOphlle
of authority and wished TO consult him
about some books which had been Of

What were the books his host

which resulted in the restoration of the

Home Influence Felt in School.

If the home do its work well. the task
Of the teacher and the school is compare,
lively easy; but there are too many
American families, as every teacher
knows, where this work has not been
done, and where, consequently, much
effort has to be spent in experimenting
the lack of skill or the foolish indul
gence Of the mother. When a little six,
year-old girl on her first day at school
tries to strike her teacher over the head
with her heavy slate because she is told
to do some little thing, we may not un
reasonably assume that that home has
failed of its purpose, if indeed it ever
had any.-Anna 9. Bracket in Har

PUSSY WANTS A CORNER

This life is like a monstrous plank
Out in midocean sailing,
All crowded full Of living men.
And ne'er a foot Of railing.
There all are struggling for the best.
And each one to his notion:
In this great struggle often some
Are pushed of in the ocean.
And some will find the lucky plum,
Like little Jackey Horner:
Some always struggle for a place,
FOR pussy wants a corner!'
Some have the claws TO hold on tight,
However rough the sailing,
And hold the plank through all the fight,
With ne'er a foot of railing.
Some things are very light to pear
As light as ocean bubbles:
To bear with greatest f]ortitude,
'Tis other peoples troubles.
Some get a very liberal streak.
Though you may deem it funny:
lis very easy to be free
With other peoples money.
We often get the lucky plum
Through some poor brothers sorrow;
The failure he endures today
Brings you success tomorrow.
Tis such a complicated world,
Where you and | are staying,
We feel inclined to think a bit;
Now, brethren, let's be praying.
Oh, you. whO've found the lucky plum.
Like little Jackey HOrner,
Nal room for some poor starving one
Poo pussy wants a corner"
