First American Glass Works.

1t was only hundred and sixteen
years after the discovery of America that
the first glass works were established in
the colonies. 1t was modest venture
in an industrial way, but one to which
much importance is attached, since it
was the starting point in that interesting
history which it is the purpose of the
present paper to outline; and still more,
because it was the first industry started
by Europeans on American soil. It thus
heads list which is to day certainly as
long as human needs and almost as long
as human DESIRES 1t is list which has
been nearly three hundred year; in the
making.
This was in the year 1908 The pio-
neer glass-house was a part of the &C
tivities at jamestown. The spirit of the
London Company was distinctly com
mercial. 1t had gold and silver in mind
as the ultimate goal, but, with a pru-
dence characteristic of British enterprise,
it had also an eye to nearer and smaller
profits. The plan of colonial manu-
facture was meant to serve this end.
On the second voyage of Captain New
port, eight Poles and Germans were sent
over for the express purpose of making
glass, pitch, tar, and soap ashes. The glass
house was out in the woods, about a
mile from Jamestown. 1t was a 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 pre-
sumably exported in the form of com
mon 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.
The progress of the glass industry in
America has been for from constant. 1t
has suffered severe and violent fuctua-
tions, to be born again. But the sum
total of the successes and vicissitudes has
been the establishment of industry which,
while it is the Oldest, is also at the
present time one of the most promising

BECAME ''PARDS. -

John Tillar, farmer living in the
country several miles distant, relates a
curious story concerning the friendship
existing between cat and rat, says an
Arkansas special to the St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
About six months ago he first observed
the rat in company with a large tomcat
belonging to him, but he cannot say as
to how the strange relationship existing
between them was brought about. At
first the rat rcfrained entering the house
with the cat However, it was not long
before its apparent shyness was over
come.
Soon they became inseparabIe They
ate, slept and went about the premises
together The family, under the cir
cumstances, regarded the rat with a
friendly feeling. The rat has virtually
struck a bonanza, and is just as much at
home with all the members of the Tllar
household as its feline bcnefactor
In the day time these strange friends
occupy rug Oh the porch together, en-
joying the bright Sunshine and pleasant
breeze, while at night they prowl in
stinctively about the premises in search
of prey. Mr. TilIar is enthusiastic about
his pets, and relates many interesting
things regarding them.

STYLISH COTFETRES

The styles and fashions of hair dress
ing have altered completely in the last
few months. The hair falls lower and
lower until it rests upon the nape of the
neck in loose knot of the shape of a
figure eight. Mrs Langtry is RESPONSE
bic for this fashion, and it certainly suits
her to perfection. Another method is to
copy the old fashioned chignons though,
providcntially, they are copied in a
modified form. Fringes are disappear
ing rapidly-a tiny curl or two and the
remainder of the front hair is waved and
brushed back, or the fringe is parted,
waved and c,lrled and almost done away
with. Every kind of hair waver has
been invented, for there is great return
to the smooth, ripping locks so often
prated of by our mothers and grand
mothers. The touzled ;sfurze- bush style
of head is thing of the past; may it re-
main in oblivion. Smooth coils and
plaits are worn; the sausage roll of pre-
vious day is utterly inadmissible. Hair
nets have emerged after years of seclu-
sion. and fashionable head is as care

Chinese Surgery,

Like most things in China, the
practice Of surgery differs considera-
bly, from that in vogue in less en-
lightened Western countries. Bone
setting in the Celestial Empire is a
complicated affair, and doubtless
more etticacious than European meth
DDS. In setting fractured limb the
surgeon does not attempt to bring
the bones together, but merely Wra ps
the limb in red clay, inserting some
strips OF bamboo into the clay. These
strips are swathcd in bandagcs, and
in the outer bandage the head Of u
live chicken is placed. Here comes in

Cronstadt yelling has wide diamond

Odessa nett is rather coarse Russian

Velours Russo is a grenadine yelling

Bordered veilings in black and colors
with fine real lace mesh strewn with
small flowers or dots are now new, but
will be extensively used.
Columbian yelling shows a rather fine
mesh with a bordered pattern in small
raised dots or jet, which runs around
the edge of the veil
The most fashionable yelling is the
fishnet, with raised chenille dots either
in singlesor grouped dots. The mesh is
in many instances almost as fine as
cobweb, SO that it scarcely shows on
the face.
Fine tulle, with composition dots in
imitation of jet, are in vogue, and also
nett, embroidered with extremely fine
jet beads. The jetted veilings are in

There is an infinite variety in colored
veilings, which come in colors to match

Fancy veilings are in red, blue, ETC.,

WHAT EUROPEAN QUEENS WEAK.

1T has truly been said, and often, that
simplicity in dress is true elegance
The sovereign ladies Of Europe, though
otherwise they do not seem to have any
ambition to be leaders of fashion, at all
events "lead' this movement.
The Queen of Spain is always quietly
dressed; Queen Margaret of Italy, though
very artistically and elegantly dressed,
never attracts attention by any extrava-
gances Of her toilet, and the Empress of
Germany is much more interested in the

HOW A BEAR LEARNED To WALK.

Mr.. and Mrs Bear had Just finished
breakfast when Mr. Bear said to Mrs.
Bear: MY dear, it really is quite time
that dear baby learned to walk
DO you think that his legs are strong
enoughl" asked Mrs, Bear auXiously, for
she was a careful mother.
"Stand him up and try said his
father.
So Baby Bear was gently lifted upon
his hind legs and coaxcd to toddle back
wards and forwards between his two
proud parents, whilst Mr.. Bear sat up
and Rugged his toes with a broad grin
of delight upon his fatherly countenance,
and Mrs. Bear sang this song, and held
out her paws to catch her darling when
ever he seemed to be growing tired and
inclined to drop down on all tours again
Come to me, darling, come to mamma.
Hold up your shaggy head, just like papa;
Turn out your baby feet, stretch out your
paws,
Then mother will polish and sharpen your
claws!
And the old Father Bear joined in with
his deep, grutf voice:
Yes, walk to your nanny, and then you
will see
What lovely sweet honey you will get for
yolr tea.
So the tiny Baby Bear toddlcd bravely
along until he was so tired out that he
fell asleep, and dreamed of honeycombs
and all the delicious things he would go
out into the woods to seek when he, too,
had become a great, strong, shaggy bear
like his dear old father and mother. st.

QUESTIONING TILE CTCEOO.

GIN Denmark said Augustus H..
Schneider Of San Antonio, Texas, a. the
Lindell, "when the voice of the cuckoo
is heard in the woods in the springtime
all the boys and girls kiss their hands
and ask: When, cuckoo, when shall |
be married?' The old folks, wcaried with
disease and age, inquire: Cuckoo, cuck
90, when shall | be released from this
worlds care?' And the bird continues
to sing cuckoo as many times as years
will clapse before the objects Of these
desires come to pass. And as some old
people live to become advanced i'll years,
and many Of the girls die old maids and
the boys find bachelors graves, the poor
cuckoo has SO much to do in answering
the questions put to her that she has no
time to make her nest, but lays her eggs
in that of the hedge sparrow Or the linnet
that make the same territory their home. y
