GLASS Ewes worn secretIy.

A New York optician, was relating
to 81 party of friends the other day some
of the peculiar features of his trade.
''You would be surprised, he said, sat
the large number of locomotive en-
gineers and fremen who have glass
eyes. OF course, an engineer could not
hold place on railroad an hour if
the fact that he had glass eye
was known to his superior officers.
Consequently men in that line of bust
ness exercise the utmost secrecy with
regard to their infirmity. When they
come into my store to buy a new
glass eye or have some flaw in their old
one attended to they beg the privilege
of transacting their business in my
private Office, and they usually slip in
and out of the store when no other
customer is around"

Various Theories, Some of Them of a
Contrary Showing.
A very large part of the educated
public believes that the earth is a mol
ten globe specifically enveloped by a
chilled crust, and a magazine article in
support of such theory has recently
attracted much attention. A very
large part of the natural philosophers
consider it most proba BILE that the
rocks at and near the surface of the
globe would expand in melting. If the
earth were thus constituted a time
would come when the solid crust would
crack from its own weight or from
some moderate internal disturbance;
and then block after block of the
crust, region after region of the world
we know and love SO well would plunge
slowly and heavily to meet the rising,
molten flood, while whirlwinds of
scalding steam would shroud perishing
humanity. 1t would require Dante
to do justice to the tragic side of this
theme, says a writer in the North
American Review.
A hard-hearted physicist would sim
ply IeIndrk tlIdU d CRUST OF Sucn ullnen-
sions resting on a fluid of inferior den
sity is in unstable equilibrium; the
rest being an evident consequence.
Statements such as this are commonly
considered as extremely uninteresting;
but the Dantesque view of the subject
has been indicated sufficiently to show
that the earth's interior is within the
sDhere of human interest
Aside from ignoble fears there seems
scarcely any topic better suited to ex-
cite a legitimate intellectual interest
among men than this most fundamen-
tai question concerning that little
planet, our world. Is it a molten globe
with pellicle of cool dry land or is-it
really terra fr1na, solid earth?

party of young men who were on
a fishing excursion on the Chic river
some years ago were joined by an ec-
centric man. skilled as fisherman,
known in that region as ;'Barefooted
Sam" He was a good cook, and made
himself useful in so many ways that
his presence, though unlimited, was
tolerated by the amateur sportsmen.
Que morning two members of the
party returned to camp with their APP
petites well sharpened for breakfast,
and were greeted enthusiastically by a
third man, who said: ''You just come
along and see the finest baked perch
you ever laid eyes on"
They hurried to the table, but saw
only a rick of bones, from which every
fiber of meat had been taken. Sam was
nowhere to be seen. When he returned
no comments were made upon the cir
cunstance; but in The afternoon, when
the company were iounglng on the
bank, Sam drawled out:

about ten pounds, I've been informed
ooh, yes, replied Sam, with no sign
Of embarrassment on his placid coun-
tenance, 4 ate that; but what mean

markable statement in absolute silence
for some moments, until at last the man

LACE MAKING.
A schDol Near Venice Where the Art Is

! A School Near Venice Where the Art Is
Taught.
A school of about three hundred and
fifty Italian girls, wearing the national
costume and all industriously at work
on exquisite lace, is a pleasant and in
teresting place to visit. So writes
Nine. de Boret, who visited a lace
making school at Burano, an island
Venice. The girls, who are from ten
to eighteen years of age, sit in great,
barely furnished, well-lighted rooms,
on low chairs, holding their lace
frames on their knees.
They wear a short, bright-colored
petticoat, a green, red or orange fchu
crossed on the chest, silver rings in
their ears and around the neck bead
or coral necklaces. They have dark
eyes, teeth like pearls, smiling red
lips, oval faces, fine profiles, and black
hair worn knotted in the back of the
neck with silver pin by the older
girls, or in long ringlets by the younger
ones.
They draw their needles slowly and
gracefully back and forth, and grave
ly except when some girlish joke raises
a storm of smothered laughter.
The teachers superintend the work
carefully, and the pupils make fine
Venetian, Brussels, Alencon and Ar
gentan point and guipure laces. They
sometimes fill orders for wells worth
five thousand francs. A lace drapery
which was shown Nine. de Boret repre-
sented vast amount of work. Seven
months had been spent in making the
foundation for it.
The price of the laces is fixed ac-
cording to the time spent in making
them, the rate being a franc day.
The more skillful pupils add to their
income by doing lace work at home
also.
They all like the school, and though |
the pay seems small for such fine work,
it secures them comfortable living,
for little money goes a long way in
the island of Burano. Queen Mar
gherita of Italy has been generous
patron of the school.

The Artistic Requirements of a Thorough
Craftsman of the Camera.

The Artistic Requirements of a Thorough
Craftsman of the Camera.
The number of steps in the process of
making photograph which call for
the exercise of the sank artistic powers
that must be possessed by the painter
will be surprising, says a writer in the
New England Magazine. The artist
photographer must select his picture
with reference. to its composition of
lines, masses of light, shade and tex
ture. By his choice of lens he deter
mines the width of angle or the scope
of the picture. In focusing and dia-
phragming he divides his definition
and his vagueness to suit the require
ments of his sense of pictorial beauty.
His development is almost as individ-
ual as the painters brush, which
chooses between the minute exactness
of pre-Raphaelite or a Dusseldorf
canvas and the poetic vagueness of
Corot. In printing he has a wide
range of expression. He may use the
gloss of albumenized paper, the rough
surface of Whatman's drawing board,
the lustrous sheen of Japanese papers,
or the rich depth of a carbon film. Al
though confined to monochrome, the
various toning baths and the pigments
Of carbon films open TO him an infinite
variety of colors, comprising the
lusters of gold, silver, platinum and
other metals, deep charcoal blacks,
and the chalk reds of Botticelli. 1t is,
however, not the wealth of materials
so much as the artistic discrimination
IN the use Of them which is illustrated
by the amateur work of to-day, and in
which progress is now being made.

A Deceptive Name.

A Philadelphia and his wife were
dropped one hot summer day at the
tiny post village of Mount Pleasant,
on the Delaware railroad, and as they
gazed over fiat country, whose differ
ences of level are scarcely perceptible
save by the aid of surveyors instru-
ment, a native asked them what they
were looking for. Then the Philadel-
phian explained that the name of the
place had called up such visions of an
airy eminence that he and his wife had
come down to spend their vacation.
They learned from the native that
summer board was not obtainable
there, and he obligingly explained
that the place received its deceptive
name in commemoration of the fact
that it was situated on the watershed
between Delaware and Chesapeake
bays, the backbone of the peninsula,
as it is locally called.

THE BOWER BIRD.
One OF the Queer Denizens of Austral
Enrests.


One OF the Queer Denizens of Australians
Forests.
The most remarkable instance of
estheticism among the birds is that
exhibited by the Australian bower
birds, who build long galleries III
which to play, adjoining them with
shells, feathers, leaves, bones or any
colored or glittering object which
comes in their way. Capt. Stokes de-
scribes one of these bower birds as
taking shell alternately from each
side of the bower and carrying it
through in its beak.
Lumholz describes several of these
playhouses of the bower birds. He
says they are always to be found Sin
small brushwood, never in the open
field; and in their immediate vicinity
the birds collect mass of different
kinds of objects, especially snail shells,
which are laid in two heaps, one at
each entrance-the one being much
larger than the other. There are fire.
quently hundreds of shells, about three
hundred in one heap and thirty in the
other There is usually handful Of
green berries, partly inside and partly
outside the bower
In his interesting book, s'Among
Cannibals," Lumholz describes a play
ground of what would appear to be a
different species of the bird, showing
even a greater esthetic taste. He says:
ION the top of the mountain / heard
in the dense scrubs the loud and I'M
ceasing voice of bird. carefully APP
preached it, sat on the ground and
shot it. 1t was one of the bower birds,
with gray and very modest plurnage
and of the size of thrush. AS r
picked up the bird my attention was
drawn to a fresh covering of green
leaves on the black soil. This was the
birds place of amusement, which, be-
meath the dense scrubs, formed
square yard each way, the ground
having been cleared of leaves and rub
bish.
ION this neatly-cleared spot the bird
had laid large, fresh leaves, one by the
side of the other, with considerable
regularity, and close by he sat singing,
apparently extremely happy over his
work. AS soon as the leaves decay
they are replaced by new ones.n

Antiquity of Tobacco.

Tobacco was noted by Columbus on
his very first voyage. 1t was first Gull
tivated by John Rolfe in 1919, and as
early as 1919 lot of 10000 pounds was
shipped to England. In 1882 tobacco
factory was started on the Rappahan-
mock river, and about 1869 the first
south of the James river waS built in
Mecblenburg county. In 1745 the ex-
ports from Virginia amounted to AZ, SAL
hogsheads of about 1000 pounds each,
and increased till 1853, after which
there was a decline until after the
revolution. 1t is now grown in most
of the southern states with Kentucky

COMPETITION AVOIDED.
Shops in France Not Allowed to Crowd
Each Other.


In France two shops selling the same
thing are not allowed to exist within a
certain area. In provisions this absence
of competition materially increases the
price, but, says a woman who has
large experience in housekeeping in
France, your taxes are less, and YOU
have in return clean streets, good gas.
constant water supply and perfect
sewerage. In addition, by virtue of
state supervision, you never receive
short weight or inferior goods. There
is no quantity so small that the grocer
will not sell it. And in doing this and
in delivering it he is as scrupulouslv
polite and careful as in buying larger
amounts. The butcher is the cooks
friend and will trim the meat and take
out the bones with loving care. Meat
is dear. Good beefsteak costs from
thirty-seven cents to fifty cents
pound. Fish is very expensive, but
poultry is reasonable and good and
comparatively cheap. A good deal of
cooking in small households is done
with gas, and gas stoves are loaned by
the gas companies for this purpose.
Sugar, matches and all imported arti-
cles are dear, owing to the high tariff.
The lowest price for servants is ten
dollars a month. Charwomen ask six
cents by the hour Englishwomen say

The INDIANS SUGAR.
How 1t Was Extracted from the Trees In
Vermont.

vermont.
Ever since the Indians in the section
now known as Fletcher discovered
honey" in the maple trees, that dis
trict has been known far and wide as
the heart of the Vermont maple sugar
country. The way the red man ex-
tracted the delicious compound was
somewhat slow as compared with the
present process. Ee used to cut
slanting cash in the bark and insert IN
the lower end gauge-shaped piece of
wood, from which the sap ran and
dropped into a poplar or Eastwood
trough. AT the end of theseason these
troughs would be set up against the
trees and left until the following sea-
son, by which time the troughs would
be thoroughly widowed. This ma
terially added to the flavor of the abb
original sugar, but can hardly be said
to have improved it. The evaporator
of those times consisted of an iron ket-
tie swung from sapling bent over a
stump. BY slow and tedious process |
the sap was first heated and then
boiled in this kettle, often taking two
or three days boiling before it could
be sugared off. This was the way in
which the redskins and the early YER
monitors eked out '.sweetnin'n to
their tea and johnny cake.
In the best Fletcher groves of to-day
long pipe or trough line runs from
some central spot in the grove down
to the big storage tanks in the sugar
house. Here the perfected evaporation,
when under full Roadway, will convert
the first sap into sirup in half an hour,
about one cord of wood to
produce a hundred pounds of sugar.
There are in the town of Fletcher, at
moderate estimate, thirty thousand
trees, this being probably within the
real nurnbo1-

Switzerland schools for the perfection
of this profession have been established
there. The principal one of these is
L'Ecole Municipale d'Horlogerie in

age of fourteen and works ten hours

of every week, however, are given to
various studies. The second class re-
quires stay of five or six months;
the third six or seven months; the

BORN TO A HAPPY FATE.
The Persian Cat Cherished and Respected
In His Native Land.

] hc Il oHpiatn OaL 0HtrlbAlt0 anu RtePtCttu
In His Native Land.
The Persian cat is born to the hap
piest fate of any of his family, for, ac-
cor3ing to the tales of travellers. he is,
in his native land, not only loved and
cherished, not only well treated, but
thoroughly respected, and he has an
acknowledged position and rights. In
form the bewitching Persian does not
greatly differ from the Angora, but
the tail is much more effective, for the
longest and the thickest-set hairs be-
ing at the tip they form magnificent
plume, which the digni6ed owner car
ries proudly erect, waving it in the air
as he moves. In his splendid silky
coat is not trace of woolliness, and
it clothes the graceful creature from
the tips of his ears to the well ''feath-
eredn toes, writes Olive Thorne in Har-
per's Bazaar.
Unless some undreamed-of feline
marvel shall yet be unearthed, this an
imal must forever be regarded as the
perfect flower of the domestic cat
family. Not only does he easily sur
pass all his competitors in beauty and
grace, but he possesses charms of dis
position and manner, and dignity of
bearing; and while most affectionate
and loving, is still self-respecting and
independent
The love of liberty is the ruling pas
sion of the Persian, as it is of the
Angora. Every one of the long-haired
indeed, delights in long, solitary
tramps. 1t seems impossible to cure
them of the desire; andwhat cat real
ly desires he generally succeeds in get
ting, sooner or later. To own one of
these most attractive and most costly
pets in the city, where thieves abound,
is to live a life of constant anxiety and
watchfulness. Only those who have
kept guard over a sly and cunning
human lunatic, ever plotting to es-
cape, can appreciate the vigilance nee
essary for his safety. Yet, in spite of
this, or ornamental and SO beautiful is
the gentle creature that few who are
able to do SO can deny themselves the
pleasure of owning one.

MILK CARTS IN FRANCE.
They Are Always Drawn by Dogs and
Women.


No matter now much an American
has heard of foreign milk carts drawn
by dogs, and often by dogs and women,
it always seems odd to see such a
strange team, says Harper's Young
People The dogs have pretty harness
es, and draw bright green carts, but
they look really unhappy, as if they
had no pleasure in their work They
trot along with their tongues out of
their mouths, and when they meet an
other dog they cannot even stop to
bow to him. An American child would
say: Poor doggier' 1t is said that
some countries have made laws prohib-
ting dogs from working as milk-car-
riers, and in few years dog mill1men
may be sight of the past. 1t is queer
that there are so many kinds of milk
cans in the world. In America milk is
carried in glass bottles and in small
round tin cans. In England a pretty
tin milk-pail is used, furnished with
brass handle and wide brass hinge to
the cover. The handsomest millz-cans
in the world are the great brass cans
which are seen in the little European
milk carts. They glitter like gold, and
the froth of the white milk makes pearl
rims upon the well-flled cans. 1t is no
wonder that American artists take
these cans home to shine in dark cor
ners of their studios
