MIRRORS OF oLDEN DAYS.

Polished Metal Plates Used by ORR
entnIs-The Looking Glasses of
To-day.
Looking glasses of old were highly
polished metal plates. They were small
and provided with handle. Grand
ladies intrusted their mirrors to the
care of u female slave, whose duty 1t
was to keep them clean AMI free from
stain or rust, and hand 1t to her mis-
tress when the latter required it,
The Chinese and Japanese formerly
used mirrors made of simple metallic
plate. The Japanese had story of the
invention of the mirror. The sun god
dess, they said, once upon time, got
into great rage about something, and
retired to cavern, vowing that she
would never come out again. AS she
was the mother of light, her retirement
put the whole earth in darkness. The
other gods and gcddesses did all they
could in order to persuade her to come
out again, and finally invented a mir
ror, which they placed at the entrance
of the cave, The angry goddess looked
| at it, and seeing, as she thought, an
other goddess whose beauty was equal
| to her own, emerged, mad with ieal-
| Ousy from her retreat, and the land
was once again Illuminated by the light
of the sun. -.@
Glass mirrors are supposed to have
been first used in Sidon. Like almost
| everything else, they were very dear
I,niY int,
| We read in letter written in 1873 by
Colbert to the Count Auvaux that even
| if mirrors had been manufactured in
France at that time, nobody but the
king would have been rich enough to
buy one. The annual manufacture in
Europe at the present time, according
| to the latest statistics we have been
| able to get, is something like 100000
| square yards of looking glass.
In the mirrors Of to-day the light is
reflected by layer Of silver or an
amalgam of tin, but a proportion of
| light is lost in the process of reflection,
and the image Is less luminous than the
original. The value of a looking glass
| is usually estimated by the thickness of
the glass, because the thicker they are
the stronger they must be; but, speak
| ing scientifically, thick glasses are de-
| fective, because the outlines of the i'm
age reflected are less clearly defined.
There are really three reflections and
consequently three images in every glass
mirror; one from the upper surface of
the glass, one from the lower surface,
and the third from the metallic layer
at the back. An ideal mirror is one
with perfectly fiat surface; but it is
only possible to obtain this result in
comparatively small glasses. The larger
glasses do not reflect true image be-
cause it is not possible to make them
| quite fiat.

The United States Coming 10 tn,
Front In the Matter of Gun Clubs.

The United States Coming 10 the
Front In the Matter of Gun Clubs.
Had the compilers of the last census
given the same attention to collecting
the statistics and data of the sportsmen
as they did to all branches OF trade
the result would have furnished some
startling information, bordering on the
incredible. Harper's Weekly thinks it
Is safe TO say that there is more wealth
among the fraternity, more capital in
vested, more money spent annually, by
the sportsmen of America than by any
guild, society, order or whatsoever in
corporated body In the United States.
During the last ten years the increase
and development Of the sportsman
have been phenomenal A decade ago
only the large cities had gun club.
To-day it is small town, indeed, which
does not boas, of its fine team" In
fact, the modern gun club seems to
have taken the place of the old-fash-
Toned debating society, and the crack
of the double-barrel has drowned the
last echo of sky-scraping eloquence
The makers of fine guns in this country
could be counted on the fingers of one
hand ten years ago; now they are nu-
merated by the score. The guns turned
out by these factories, in which mill
ions of dollars are invested, are of the
very best, with all the latest improve
mentS, and it is needless to add that
the American manufacturer keeps pace
with the world.
Of late the manufacture of fixed am
, munition has increased. Formerly
most SportSmen preferred to load their
own shells, but it became apparent that
the trade which made a specially of
that business could by buying the am
munition in large quantities, furnish
the shells loaded cheaper than the re-
tail buyer could obtain the material to
fill them, to say nothing of the time and
labor expended. 1t is exceptional now
to see any one who lives within reach
of railroad attempt to charge his
shells. and even the small country
stores offer loaded ones for sale, where
only powder and shot could be OBJ
tanned. The amount of ammunition
used annually by the gun clubs would
supply the armies of Europe. All this
has awakened an enthusiastic love of
real sport among the people The time
when the city youth fond of sport had
to steal through the dark streets on his
way to or from the country has passed
away The young man who confesSeS
to love of hunting is no longer pointed
out as a "ne'er-do-weH." America is
fast becoming d nation of marksmen,
and if there should ever be Il war with
foreign powers. the spectacle often wit
messed OH the late battlefields of Vir-
ginia, where fully One-third of the mus
kets borne were overloaded, under
loaded or in some way wrongly loaded,
would not be repeated.

TOUGH GOOSE STORY.

But the Western Woman, Who Had
1t.
She was q Western woman and had
been entertaining a room full of guests
in an up town hotel with some extra
ordinary tales.
She had just finished one particularly
young Southerner present drawled:
Madam, if any one else in the world
had told that story I should have been
compelled to doubt it, but, of course.
| cannot refuse to believe YOU
Now he continued, as if by way of
retaliation, you cannot fail to appre-
ciate most unusual occurrence in my
state. The past winter, as you know,
has been unusually severe in the South.
Well, i'll November, when the wild
geese were flying past us, a flock of
them stopped to drink in one of the
Carolina ponds.
Being so much pleased with the wa
ter they loitered for day or two. But
one time while they were padding
around Il sudden cold wave sWooped
down without any warning. A crust
of ice formed over the pond in less than
a minute, and there We're the geese
stuck as fast as if they had been nailed
to board.
For several days the geese-there
must have been a thousand of them
fluttered and squawked trying to extri-
cate themselves, but to no purpose.
The people in the neighborhood watch
ed their struggles with more or less
curiosity, and finally a mountaineer and
his wife ventured on the ice to capture
some of the game.
The geese made one tremendous
effort in unison and lifted the whole
assembled until it became a mere speck
in the sky and finally disappeared alto
gether. The neighbors are now watch
ing every day when the weather mod
crates to see the old man and his wife
drop from the Clouds"
The Western woman looked up at the
speaker and remarked: ''Well, that
certainly does seem incredible, but
