A few days ago met a man from Bal

some people down that way do not know
as much about things pertaining to civ
ili2sion as the average Indian does, and
no told me the story to prove it. Said
he; "Im very fond Of horseback riding

stopped for a minute at drug store il
a Maryland village and flung the reini
of my horse to a colored boy who was
standing on the sidewalk. On return

he, i know what you have come for

"'Yes," said l, little surprised,

A historian has it that as early as four
centuries fore Christ these metal mir.
rors were in such common use among
the Romans that any maid servant could
have as many as she could hang at her
girdle, which probably accounts for the
fact that they gradually fell into desue-
tude among ladies of the higher Glasses
and led to the introduction of substi-
tutes. 1t is hardly to be supposed, how
ever, that il was this fact which induced
some ingenious person so to cut and bur
nish the inside of drinking cups as to re-
feet the face of the drinker many times
in G highly warning manner.
In addition to the small hand mirrors
which it used to be the particular duty
Of some unfortunate young slave to hold
before her mistress, there were panels of
stone set in the walls and so highly pol
ished as to serve as mirrors. 1t was this
use of dark stone that first suggested
the use of glass for rejecting purposes,
which according to Pliny, was first man
ufactured at the glass works Of a gen
tleman named Sidon. Black glass was
nrst used; sfterwsrd clear glass with
black foil on the back replaced it. Pliny
tells US all about this, and from this time
on no mention is made of glass mirrors
until the Thirteenth century, when q
Franciscan monk, Johannes Peckham
speaks of mirrors, not only of polished
marble and steel, but also of glass GOV.
cred with lead on the back.
By this time the amalgam used il
making glass mirrors was much like
that of today, the difference being in the
method of its application. The process
was to spread tinfoil on plain surface
to pour mercury over that and rub the
two together with the hand or with 6
hare's foot. The amalgam thus formed
was then covered with paper, ovel
which glass was laid. The paper wa!
then withdrawn and weights pressed OF
the glass, pressing out the excess Of mer
cury.--NeW York World.

A good old time member Of the Meth
odist church, whose keen appreciation
of humor is only one of many pleasing
characteristics, relates with rare gusto
the following story: For a meeting Of
the congregation a certain subject was
announced for discussion. The mem
bers were invited and expected to par
ticipate in the debate or consultation.
When the hour for adjournment was al
most reached a male client Of the creed
arose. He was notoriously long winded.
When delivering an address Or opinion
he treated the possibility of eternity with
contempt. In this case the audience
could not escape He held it there some
time over an hour, and finally sat down
to the great relief of the people.
The pastor glanced at the programme
for the evening. Unfortunately for
him, perhaps, the preacher had
designated on the written slip only
the number of the hymn to be sung.
Consequently he announced, I'VE will
sing hymn number three" And num-
Der three turned out to be no less a
triumphal selection than the grand old
"Halleluiah. 'Tis Done" Perhaps never
before in the history of that congrega-
ton was the moving melody sung with
more meaning and enthusiasm.-C

''Lalla Rookh" was read universally
and translated into several European
languages. The poem has no lofty Mil
tonic fights-no hall of Eblis reaching
the height of the sublime-but it is cal
culated to suit the taste Of every order
of the mind. Young and old, educated
and uneducated, comprehend its luxu-
rious imagery, sweet passages, fascinat-
ing descriptions and gorgeous voluptu'
business; hence the uncommon popular
ity of the poem. Those who have hearts
for the deeper things of humanity-what
enjoyments come not from exit ai
color, orient hues and Tyrian PURPLE
will prefer the heart which is shown in
many Of Moore's other productions -
