The pioneer glass house was part of the
activities at jamestown. The spirit of the
London company WAS distinctly CONNER
cial. 1t had gold and silver in mind as the
ultimate goal but, with n prudence char
acteristc of British enterprise, it had also
an eye to nearer and smaller profits. The
plan of colonial manufacture was meant to
serve this end. On the second voyage of
Captain Newport, eight Poles and Germans
were sent over for the express purpose of
making glass, pitch, tar and soap ashes
The glasshouse was out in the woods, about
q mile from jamestown.
1t was crude affair, but it seems to have
been the center of considerable activity, for
when the ship returned to England in the
following year, "a trial of glass" was
among her cargo, The glass was presum-
ably exported in the form of common black
bottles, for the state of the art in those
days and the limited time would scarcely
have allowed the evolution of anything
more difficult of manufacture

BraYe Little Antonio.

The most heroic act know of was that
of II little Italian named Antonio, who was
sent to the country by a mission for fort
night A wealthy farmer took him.
This farmer had two children, Ethel and
Johnny. Ethel was 6 years of age and
Johnny was IL, Antonio being only 10.
Ethel had been sick for a long time, and
on the day | am telling Of her mamma had
put her in n hammock in the orchard, and
to keep out the sun she threw over it scar
let shawl as sort of awning Antonio was
whiting near her. and johnny was read
ing n book.
Now, Mr., Leslie, the childrens papa, had
young bull, which he kept in the shed on
account of its being very wild. The heat
and the flies bothered him SO that be at last
was so desperate that he broke through the
shed door, knocked down the barn gate and
headed for the orchard. Seeing the red
shawl he darted for it.
Mrs Leslie was on the veranda with Il
maiden aunt, and upon seeing what had
happened she was struck dumb with terror
Johnnie threw down his book and ran for
his life" but Antonio, brave Antonio, was
as calm as can be. He snatched the red
shawl from its place and ran out Cf the
orchard, with the bull after him, down the
lane into a meadow where hay was being
made, bull following. The haymakers las
seed the Infatuated beast and then killed
him with their pitchforks. Then turning
to Antonio, who had swooned, they tender
ly carried him home, where he soon recov-

A sleep walking Servant.

Negretti was servant of tho Marquis
Luigi Sale. One evening in March, 174O,
after going TO sleep on bench in the
kitchen, he began to talk and then walked
around. Going to the dining room, he
spread the table for dinner, placed himself
behind a chair, plate in hand, as if waiting
for his master, and after u time sufficient
for his master to have finished removed
the things from the table and placed them
in cupboard, which be locked. lie then
warmed bel, locked up the house and
prepared TO, his nights rest. Being awak-
eneds he knew nothing Of what had oc-
Cured. Negretti's eyes were always closed,
and he paid no attention TO lighted candle
when it was placed before them.
Once he hurt himself severely by running
against a wall, showing that his move
ments were directed by habit, and that he
had no conception Of external objects. A
door through which he had just passed was
closed, and returning he struck himself
against it. In places to which he was &C
customed he moved about naturally, but
in strange places he felt everything care
fully with his hands Occasionally he car
ried n candle about with him, as If to light
his way, but when bottle was substituted
he did not detect the difference. Once he
said in his sleep that he must go and hold
light for his master in his coach. Taking
an unlighted torch he went to the corner Of
the streets and held it until he supposed
the coach had passed.
Once he went to the kitchen and sat down
to supper, but at once, as if forgetting him

THE PATH OF PRAYER.

Among the gnarled pines of old Japan
That shade n hill where patient crickets sing,
I CHANGED upon terraced path which ran
Upward beneath mystic covering.
a hundred sacred gates the pathway keep,
Each shaped Of two straight beams and one
across,
With rigid angles mounting up the steep,
Their dull red hue bepatched with ancient
moss.
AT either sidc thick in the CRASHES mold,
Two fluttering lines of white still rise beyond
Small written slips of paper that unfold
As banners pendent from n mimic wand
And while l wondered suddenly a name
Flashed to me- and knew the Path of Prayer
Where Kwannon, queen of Mercy, nightly
came
To read the SAD petitions planted there.
Unused upon that gentle race anew,
With love and pity aching in my breast,
And then knelt where evening shadows grew
To place my small petition with the rest.

Sir Walter Scott once told visitor that
two hounds which were lying before the
fire understood every word he said. The
friend seeming incredulous, the novelist, to
prove his statement, picked up book and
began to read aloud, Il have two lazy, good
for nothing dogs, who lie by the fire and
sleep and let the cattle ruin my garden"
The dogs raised their heads, listened and
then ran from the room, but finding the
garden empty soon returned to the hearth
rug. Sir Walter again read the story, with
like result, but once more the dogs came
back disappointed. Instead of rushing from
the room when their master commenced
reading the third time, both hounds came
and looked up into his face, whined and
wagged their tails, as if to say, You have
