ANTIQUE GLASS.
Priceless Bits That Have Survived All
Other Art Forms.

Priceless Bits That Have Survived All
Other Art Forms.
The world of the Mediterranean sea,
eighteen centuries ago, was rich in
works of art and decoration beyond our
experience, and beyond our flights of
Imagination. 1t is an effort which few
of US can make with success to picture
the wealth in beautiful art of great
city of the empire. The marbles have
been burned To lime, the bronzes have
been melted into gros sous or their
equivalent, the stuccoes have crumbled
from the walls, the paintings have gone
down with their walls to ruin, the
shattered pottery has been used in fill
ing and grading and building, and its
remaining fragments are of no value
except for an inscription or an inn
pressed name-mere postherds, with
now and then a scrap of antiquarian
interest. The shattered glass alone
contains in its very substance such
beauty, and such completeness even in
ruin, that its fragments are treasured
up and studied. These broken bits
point to a general use of vessels of dec
orative glass, used as we use porcelain
for the finer vessels of table and toilet,
and also a great abundance of objects
Of pure ornament, of wall-linings and
foor-coverings, made Of the same splen-
did material No other substance is
like that-beautiful in itself, in its
every essence. Fragments of glass
have often the value that fragments of
pottery sometimes have-the partial
figure, the incomplete pattern on the
surface; and they have also what no
pottery and no other artificial sub
stance has-the beauty we generally
think of as peculiar to natural stones,
to agates and to jaspers. As collector
fills his cabinet with pieces of precious
and semi-precious stones. with here
and there piece which has, as it hap
pens. head or piece of head carved
upon it. so the enthusiastic vitreologist
collects glass as glass, loving its sub
stance and its surface, its color and its
texture, its translucency AID its op2c-
ity, its set patterns and its vague
cloudings: here and there stamped or
a Underground pattern adds its own
attractiveness, but the glass itself is
the thing! Precious and beautiful is
glass. even in fragments.--Rgsseu

LoNG-LWeO RUSSIANS.
Some of Them Reach the Age ofesIx
Score cad Five.


II has long been a well-estabIished
fact that abnormal longevity Is more
common among the Russians than
among any other of the European na-
tions, says the London News. From
an official report colated from we'll
authenticated local registers, 1t now
appears that the government Of KiefF
takes the first place Of all Russian
provinces in this respect During last
year. Il Is officially stated, there were
fourteen centenarian deaths registered
In that government. In the city Of
KiefT one man died aged 10 years,
while within the suburban circle two
women died aged respectively Ice and
I04 years
IN Berditcheff two men reached the
respective ages of IO1 and ia years IN

Here are fourteen persons, dying

Many reunions were held during the

wovs LACE AND ROMANCE
Hew al Invalid Won Wealthy bride
Through a Note Strangely Placed.

HcW Invalid Won q Wealthy IsTtde
Through a Note Strangely Placed.
Romance has paved the way for .
golden future for invalid Oscar Pier
son. the son of Daniel Pierson. Of
North Port Morris, who was welded
while propped up in his bed to \
wealthy widow, whom the Philadel-
phia Record credits with owning a
handsome residence on Beacon bay,
Boston. The family OF the lucky
groom positively refused TO reveal the
identity Of the bride, and this secrecy
adds to the romance of this strange
affair, which has eliminated so hap
PLY. That they are perfectly satisfied
with the match, however, is apparent
to the gossips from a number OF hints
dropped about the income possessed by
the new Mrs. Pierson. The fact that
the groom is but twenty-five years old
md the bride has seen forty-four sum-
mers and winters does not seem TO de-
tract from their satisfaction in the
least and In reality it is Of no couse-
Quence in these latter-dav romaaces.
Disparity in age nowadays is no oh
lection to weGloclz. For the past three
years Oscar Pierson has been confined
to his bed. One arm was helpless TO
the elbow, but after great patience
and perseverance the youth learned
TO knit lace of 4 beautiful texture,
that found ready sale. His knitting,
however, was naturally slow and la

NEWSPAPER ENGLISH.
1t is Plain and Orators Use 1t to Great
Advantage.

Advantage.
"No statesman who IS worth his salt
will be hampered by tradition" said
Lord Rosebery in a recent speech And
the saying is a good one IN itself.
Traditions are useful only when they
help. They are good deal worse than
worthless when they hamper.
But Lord Rosebery's saying is chiefly
re-narka bic as an illustration of the
fact that he is not hampered by the
traditions of stilted English oratorv.
Worth is salt" is breezy colloquial-
ism which expresses in three words
which could not have been so well ex-
pressed in three sentences OF the finest
oratorical English.
The fine oratorical English in which
our grandfathers delighted seems in
suffera bly, stilted to us of this genera
ton. We demand plain English, and
the man who wishes to reach the
largest number of people will use the
plainest of plain English.
The newspapers, which have hand
!n nearly everything. have done this.
They lave shown the advantage OF
speaking in ineligible language.
They are condemned by college profess
sors for using colloquialisms, vulgar
isms if you please, such as this with
which Lord Rosebery enforces his
meaning. But what the newspaper
tries to do is make itself Ineligible tc
the largest number Of people IN the
shortest time and smallest space. Very
often fine English is effective, but
oftener still colloquialism will ring
the bell where the English of Addison
would not strike the outer rim of tar
get.
The orators are finding this out and
conforming 20 it. Something is lost,
perhaps, but more is gained, for it
means another step away from the ex-
clusiveness of an intellectual aris-
tocracy; another concession to the in.
tellectual needs of the masses, the de-
spised Toms, Dicks and Harrys, over
whose heads the orators of our class.

their heavy artillery.-N. Y. World.
