How Mirrors Are Made.

The finest mirrurs are still made by the process discovered in Venice 800 years ago. though various other methods are in use. \ smooth stone table Is coat ed with tin foil, and strips oP glass are placed along three sides of il, leaving a space open at one end and of size to admit of the glass to ue silvcred lying within the strips. Molten quicksilver is poured on the tin foil until it k nearly q quarter of an inch thick. and the glass to be made into a mirror iS slid i'll at the open end until it lies entirely on the quicksilver. One end of the table is then tilted slightly by means of n screw 10 allow the supcrlluuus mercury to run off through q groove into a vessel placed to catch it. Heavy weights arc then placed on the glass, and it is left there for sev- cral hours.
 The amalgam of tin foil and quick sil- yer which has united by affinity will then be found to be fast to tho glass. and this is carefully turned over and placed face downward. The amalgam, though it is set, requires several weeks to harden, and it is left exposed to the air for that length of time before it is handled.

Murson and Wilson live in adjoining flats in West Twenty.third street. For long while each had regarded the other as a severe, orthodox and unbending fel- low, destitute of spirit and amiability. One morning recently the janitor of the building was more than usually naughty in dealing with the helpless tenants. There was no hot water to be had. The servants complained that no coal could be procured, and everything was in confu- sion. Murson had been called into his kitchen to see what could be done, and Wilson had gone to the same part of his fiat to inquire of his chances for break fast. The two men came face to faco looking down the shaft for the dumb waiter which served their households in common. Murson was boiling within, but his exterior was cold, reserved and unapproachable, as usual. Wilson was in exactly the same condition. After the most formal exchange of salutations Murson suddenly asked:
 "AIr. Wilson, do you ever swear?"
 "Sir," was Wilson's reply, T am q past grand master in the art of using profane terms"
 Well, then, continued Murson. isn't
 
 system you ever saw
 "Yes, sir" replied Wilson as he smiled for the first time that morning, it is the | blankety blink blank blink blankest | blankety blanked outrageous, internal, everlasting. blasted blankety way of do ing things 1 ever struck"
 Murson thrust his hand across the shaft. Wilson shook it heartily, and both men beamed with good feeling. The tyr amy of the janitor demon had thrown them upon common ground, and they had disclosed their real selves to each other. That evening at dinner Murson remarked that Wilson was an exceedingly amiable man, while Wilson observed to Mrs. Will son as they aie a late rarebit that Mur- son was a capital fellow when you got to l know Lim.-New York Herald.

If only the temperance ladies would work with Ollie Sumner Teall, hand some young New York society man who amuses himself with philanthropy, some thing might yet be done to save the world. At least it would save consider able money. Ollie's scheme to break up intemperance is not exactly new, but it was first sprung on the world so long ago that it has been almost forgotten. In brief, it is that every man shall pay for his own drinks. Teall is forming the Antitreat league. When its mem bership is full. its list will include 5000 men, pledged neither to treat nor be treated. This pledge will be operative one year to see how the members like it. The weak social drunkard Is perhaps the most hopeless of all, except the sur ly. misanthropic drunkard who period ically goes of by himself for big spree and locks himself up alone in his room till he sobers of. MT. Teal does hope he does-that the ladies will aid him in his scheme to advance temperance and yet not stop drinking altogether.

KAISER WILLIAM thinks, and has so said, that the only positive assurance of peace to Europe can be derived from the maintainance of an army that will make war next to impossible. It may be bitter pill to the German people to learn that he proposes to establish such an army, and that they will be expected 10 foot the enormous expense that will attend it, but, according to the kaiser, there is no other alternative. He has made up his mind on that point, and those who know and understand his character need not be told, that having spoken as he did at the opening of the reichstsg, he meant business, and noth- ing more or less. Germany is going to have an exciting time.

BUSINESS confidence is increasing.

The money market Is easier, gold exports have practically ceased England, France and other countries want our breadstuffs, hay and meat, all of which augurs well for the future.

THE reason for the steady decline in the price of silver are clearly indicated by the statistics of the worlds produc- tion of gold and silver since 1873. In that year the worlds output of gold was $96, POO, 900, while the output of silver was only SS1 ,OOO, ,OOO. In 1891 we find the worlds total gold product only s126, 159, 900, while it's silver product had increased to $lS6, IA, 900. Thus we see that while the gold of the world ex- ceeded the silver in 1878 by S14 ,000, ,000, the silver in 1891 exceeded the gold by some $6O, 100000 In eighteen years gold production has increased 31 per cent and silver production has increased 12S per cent. These facts show the causes for the cheapening of the white metal in the markets of the world. The downward tendency of silver has been simply in obedience to the memorable law of supply and demand.

THE reelection of Speaker Crisp is, of course, a certainty, and it is extremely probable that he will enjoy the unusual honor of receiving the nomination by the unanimous vote of the democratic caucus; and there will be no split in the democratic party upon either the speakership or any other matter. The leaders of the party recognize that a wide difference of opinion exists in the party as to what financial legislation is necessary, but they are certain that after 8 careful and calm discussion of the points of difference a common ground will be reached upon which every democrat can stand, and which will thoroughly restore public confi- dence and renew the prosperity of the country, now suffering because of re- publican legislation which the admins tration must necessarily obey until it is repealed. The vaporings of dema- gogues of the Jerry Simpson stripe will cut no figure in the next house.

A UNIQUE CAREER.
How General Miles Military Reputation
 Has Grown Since the War.

Major General Nelson Appleton Miles, recently elected president of the Society of the Army of the Potomac, has no doubt seen his biography in print many hundred times, but as he is still in ac- tive service there is always something new to say about him. Furthermore, major generals of the late war are no longer numerous, and from the stand point of a life insurance agent General Miles has excellent chances of being among the very last survivors.
 His career has been unique in many respects. He is one of the very few Ci- williams who outran the average West Pointer in rapid promotion, for he start ed as lieutenant in the Twenty-second Massachusetts on Sept. 9, 1861, was colo

The Real Captain Kidd.

Many of the worlds typical bad men have been gradually transformed into martyrs, or at least into victims, of un- toward circumstances. The latest of these is the notorious pirate, so called, Captain Kidd. History has got even his name distorted. Instead of being Robert Kidd. he was William Kidd, a canny scotchraan, bern about 1850. To set all doubts Gt rest and save time and expense to treasure seArchers, it may be said that it is not at all likely there is any treasure buried anywhere along the New Eng land coast. Kidd landed goods at vari- ous places, but these were undoubtedly taken possession of when he was arrested, if not before.
 He was not pirate, to begin, and in the light of later evidence it does not seem that he ever was one at all. He himself strenuously denied to the very day of his execution in 1701 that he had ever practiced piracy on the high seas. When he was seized at Gardiner's is land, near the Long Island coast, and taken to Boston, the authorities found NESN Haul sAu ilIlsaIlt bAl ILAClA hAl4hSs in the words of writer ill the Portland Transcript. They could not prove any charges of piracy against him, and they would not pronounce him innocent. It is on record that while ill Boston he had every opportunity to escape, and Lord away from Kidd his treasure chest and commission papers as privateer officer under the British government, would have been glad to see him go. If he had been a real pirate, he would not have waited for a second chance.
 He had been sent out ill command of a privateer to prey on French merchant vessels and pirates. One-tentn of his booty was to go to the king. lie went first for a long voyage to the East In dies, then came by way of the West h. dies to Gardiner's island. He reported at once to Belmont at Boston that he had with him on his ship $l0,0 900 worth of goods and that he had run the East h. dian trader ship Quedah Merchant into a creek on the coast of Hispaniola. In his defense when arrested for piracy he declared thrt the Quedah Merchant was sailing under q French pass when he captured her. He offered if guaranteed liberty and protection afterward to guide party to the Quedah Merchant in the creek ou the coast of Hispaniola. Per mission was refused him, and to this day no man knows where the Quedah Mer- chant lies
