observed a man with a stubhv beard

Had some local celebrity chosen this
time and place to hold a reception?
1t might appear so but for the small
number of guests.
The true significance OF the little
scene, however, was understood only
oy those who were earlier on the
spot.
There had been a fierce alteration
between the man and one of the boys,
and the companions of the latter,
coming from all directions, fell upon
the man with so vigorous au onslaught
that an old Irishman said afterward
that he thought they'd murder him
from head to foot" But just as this
outcome of the affair seemed probable
a ragged little fellow appeared on the
scene and ruled the proceedings out

wouldn't "a been no scrap If Joe
hadn't cheated" and he followed
with an argument that was evidently
convincing, for when he finished his
burst of elOquence with what proba-
bly, was a borrowed phrase, "Yer

They Were First Imported IN hhs Sir
teenth Century.
In the sixteenth century the sys.
tenn of slavery was fast disappearing
from Western Europe, as being in
consistent with theif duty fer Chris
tians to hold Christians as slaves,
says Jane De Forest Shelton In Har-
per's Magazine. But this charity
did not extend to heathens and inf
delsI In the latter part Of the seven
teenth century the African slave
trade was considered the most profit
able part OF the British commerce.
New England naturally followed the
head OF older countries, and her ex-
change for humanity Of rum, mo-
lasses, and other commodities ac-
ceptable on the Guinea and Gold
coasts began. In 1888 Samuel Nav
crack OF Massachusetts bought Afri-
can slaves and in 1850 "a nedger

or even seven or eight, In family.
The slaves imported were in various
colors, tribes and phYsiognomies.
Some were jet black, with features
approaching those Of the European,
some wee OF tawny yellow, with
fiat noses and projecting jaws. These
latter, coming from the Delta or the
Niger, were noted for an indomita-
BILE capacity for endurance, and there
fore esteemed the best slaves. A
few were MohammedanS among
were occasionally found persons OF
some education, who knew Arabic
and could read the Koran. But the
great mass were pagans in a condi-
tion OF gross barbarism.

Venetian Mirrors.

The beauty and almost absolute per-
duced in the manufactures of Venice
are mainly due, it is said, to the pecul-
lar solution applied to the surface. Pre-
liminary to this application the glass is
thoroughly cleaned with wet whiting,
then washed with distilled water and
prepared for the silver with a sensitiz-
ing solution of tin, which is well rinsed
off Immediately before it's removal to
the silvering table, and the latter be-
ing raised to the proper temperature
the glass is laid and the silvering solu-
ton at once poured over it before the
heat Of the table has time to dry any
part of the surface of the glass. The So
luton used is prepared as follows: In
one-half liter Of distilled water 100
grains of nitrate Of silver are dissolved,
to this being added 81 grains Of liquid
ammonia Of 0. So specific gravity. The
mixture is filtered and made up to eight
liters with distilled water, and $40
grams Of tartario acid dissolved in 80
grams Of water are mixed with the So
luton. About $40 liters are poured
over the glass meter to be silyered, the
metal Immediately commencing to de-
post on the glass, which is maintained
at about 1O4 degrees F., and in a little
more than half hour acontinuous coat
ing of silver is formed After careful
wiping with chamois the surface is
treated a second time with a solution
like the first, but containing double
quantity Of tartaric acid.-New York
