Vegetable Springs for Furniture.

One of the most curious developments of
commercial enterprise and industrial in
genuity recently exhibited is noted by The
Industrial World as the importation into
this country of a peculiar vegetable ma
terial from Oran, an Algerian seaport on
the Mediterranean sea- The fiber of this
substance possesses the quality of being so
elastic that it can be used as substitute
for springs and the like in the manufacture
of furniture backs and seats; it is so ex-
pansive, indeed, and so easily affected
by higher temperatures in its dry state
that when packed the bales have to be held
in place by means of heavy steel bands.
The peculia -ity of this grass is that it
thrives only around the volcanic slopes of
Oran and furnishes up to within a short
distance of the craters themselves, the lat
ter being always in a sentative state,
and the earth around so warm that not a
plant of any Kind can thrive or is ever seen
to grow except this steel-like product, and
the practical value of which is likely to be
fully utilized in future.

Wire Glass.

Under the name of wire glass, a new in
vention has been brought on the market by
Dresden firm which marks an important
developme Mt in the glass making industry.
A foreign exchange tells that the process
Of manufacture consists in furnishing glass
in a hot, plastic condition with a flexible
metallic layer, iron wire netting, for in
stance, which is completely inclosed by the
vitreous su bstance and effectively protected
against ext erior influences, as rust, etc. The
new glass. which has been patented in the
leading countries. possesses much greater
resisting power than the ordinary metal,
and is, it is claimed, Indifferent to the most
abrupt changes of temperature and will
even withstand open fire. A further proof
of its toughness and durability is stated to
be the fact that it may, in a highly heated
state, be sprinkled with cold water without
being materially damaged. The glass is
specially adapted for skylights, the power
full resisting qualities of the material en-
ahling the usual wire protectors to be dis
pensed with. AS wire glass cannot be cut
by the diamond, except under the applica-
ton of great force, and cannot be broken
without creating considerable noise, the
substance is claimed to be, in measure
burglar proof.

The Discounted Wife.

The other evening, says the San
Francisco Examiner, prominent state
official telephoned to his wife, waiting
dinner at home: "Wiu be detained
downtown, dearie. Don't wait dinner
for me- VIII be home as soon as pos
sible." "Dearie" didn't fancy this de-
sertion in the least. She fretted and
fumed, wiped away vagrant tear,
and then determined upon revenge.
Getting a large sheet of paper she
made placard of it and wrote in bold
letters: "Dovey: Have been called
possible" She pinned this to the
cushion on the bureau and posted off
to her sisters. There she remained
until she had just time to catch the
last car for home. All the evening she
chuckled to herself and pictured her
worried spouse nerYously pacing up
and down in their home waiting her
return, fearing, eXpectant, wondering
where she could be at such an hour.
She fixed up her little curtain lecture
about the horrors and uncertainties of
being left alone, and tripped into the
house with feeling of mingled triumph
and revenge. She rushed upstairs to
clinch her hold on her husband for
good and all. Tearing into the family
bedroom the first thing that met her
eyes was placard on the pin-cushion:
"Dovey: Have been called downtown.
VIII return as soon as possible" The
husband had not returned. "What!"

Cure for Obesity.

A certain fat man in New York who
wished to reduce his weight began by
collecting pamphlets offered by firms
that advertise cures for obesity. He
was much struck by the fact that all
agreed in one particular. While each
firm advised the regular taking of its
particular cure, and several said,
"Others are useless or worse" all in
sisted that great deal of exercise and
a peculiar diet must be taken with the
medicine.
About five months afterward the
pamphlet collector, now no longer a
| fat man, entered a New York drug
store.
| "pm eternally obliged to you," he
said to the proprietor.
"How's that, sir"
"Six months ago I weighed 227
pounds. Now l weigh only 190."
"Would you kindly give me your
name and address, sir?" said the fat
cure vender in great delight.
Certainly" and he gave it.
"Now, sir, if you'd allow us to re-
fer to your case we would be greatly
obliged"
aCertainIy," That's what l came
in for. I've written out certlt1-
cate"
He handed it to the delighted pro-
lprietor, repeated I'm certainly obliged
TO you," and departed.
Then the druggist read the follow
ing certificate:
II have much pleasure in recon-
mending Mr.. -'s pamphlet on the
cure of obesity. In consequence OF
reading it have reduced my weight
in six months from 227 pounds to 1S(
pounds. with great benefit to my gen.
eral health. l rigidly followed the
pamphlets advice to take regular ex.
ercise and eschew fatty, starchy and
sweet foods. This saved me a gooG

Wanted "Them Guns"

of Gen. Houston" which illustrates the
familiar way in which military orders
were expressed sometimes during the
civil war: "In certain battle con-
federate commander stood upon hill
top gloomily watching the union bat
terry which was making havoc of his
troops. At the foot of the hill, on the
other side stood his last body reserve;
by his side stood his aide-de camp in
shirt sleeves. Tom said the general
quietly, without turning his head, but
his lips quivered, 4 want them guns
want 'em bad The aid nodded,
turned his horse, and dashed down
hill to the reserve. Boys he shout
ed, jerking his thumb over his shoul-
der toward the hilltop, there's a
poor old gent up there, and he says
he wants them guns.wants 'em bad.
Shall we get 'em for him?' The
poor old gent got the gnns and the
victory"

He looked around him nervously for
moment and then said to her in a
stage whisper: "Say, are you the

Don't you see I'm here for that?"
she said, little sullenly, as she kicked
fat python back in his box; "whatcher
