Some Virtue in ColOrcd Glass.

1t is not many years ago since the
blue glass craze was general, and every
one was fixing blue glass in his house
windows in order to prolong his days
and increase his happiness. Like every
other craze that is overdone, blue glass
soon became drug in the market, but
it is more than probable that there was
just a grain of common sense in the
idiocy. Recent experiments show that
in certain diseases tinted light has
great effect. We all know how rapidly
sore eyes will mend under the influence
of natural green, and it is now stated
that any kind of rash disease is bene-
fitted by a red tint produced by glass of
that color being placed in the windows.
Every one knows that q good deal of
comfort can be obtained from a sub
dued light, and after n while people
generally will appreciate the value of
colored glass, even If it does not prove
to have any actual remedial influence

THE GIRL AND HER DOG.
She Knew just what to Do When
the Time Game.


She came swinging down Connecticut
avenue with the fin de steele stride,
garb and air, says the Washington
Post. Ambling sedately by her side
was huge tawny mastiff. Her
cheeks were aglow from the kiss of the
bracing air and the vigor of her move
ments. She looked well-bred from
crown to heel; she looked happy and
bright and we'll groomed and healthy
and was Il daughter of wealth, for her
plain gray suit was tailor-madc and, to
the initiated. a costly raiment
Suddenly Il fair-siZed bulldog dartcd
out through Il gate and Sprang upon her
maStiif. There was an angry growl rs
the maStiff was seized by the foreleS,
and the girl sprang back, turned and
made two steps as if to run. Then she
faced about and walked back within Il
few feet of the fighting animals. The
bulldog had secured a firm hold on the
fOreleg of the mastitf, who flOnDdered
about unable to break the hold of the
fierce little beast. They rolled over and
over and the bulldog hung on like
death.
A burly negro happened along about
this time and thinking to release the
big pet raised spade he was carrying
and approached that dog. He was about
to bring it down upon the bulldogs
head when the girl shouted:
Let those dogs alone. bort You
strike either one of them. If that big
dog of mine can't whip that little bit
of thing / won't own him.
Probably encouraged by the sound Of
his mistress voice the mastiff managed
TO seize the bulldog by the throat. The
latter gasped and released his hold. and
the now thoroughly enraged mastiff
would doubtless have soon killed his
smaller foe. The girl, satisfied rs to
her champions prOwesS, now did an I'M
usual thing. She walked up and seized
the mastiff by the collar and attempted
to pull him away. Failing in this she
did Il much more unusual thing. She
got two matches from the cOlored man.
She struck one of them on the side
walk and then deliberately thrust it
under the nose OF her pet.
The effect was instantaneous. The
mastiff quit fighting and sprang off.
The darby ran up and seized the almost
dead bulldog and lifted him over Il
fence, the fin de steele girl patted the
victor for minute and then the pair
went swinging down the avenue again,
