HOW BEADS ARE MADE.
One of the Oldest and Most Interesting o
the Minor Arts.

One of the Oldest and Most Interesting Of
the Minor Arts.
Chinese are the oldest beadmakers in
tho world. They have made beads 50
long that even their historians do not
mention time when the industry was
not ancient And the Chinese today do
the work just as their forefathers did,
and the styles are exactly the same
After the Chinese no people are 50 ex-
pert as the Venetians At present there
are more than 1000 workmen In the Is
land of Murano alone who are engaged
In beadmaking. The few manufacturers
in other parts of the world have all
learned the secret Of the craft in Venice
For beadmaldng there must be o rope
walk connected with the glass factory.
A rope walk is q narrow, straight gal
lery 100 feet long and so situated that
the middle is not far from the furnaces
in which the glass is melted The first
process is the making of ordinary tubes
like those used in almost every drug
store. Two brawny workmen with bare,
brown arms seize huge wedge Of the
"metal, as the molten glass Is called,
between their blowpipes, and after 1t
has been blown hollow they gradually
stretch it out into long, swinging rope
When it has been reduced to the prop
or size for the beads about to be made,
| it Is laid away TO cool, after which a
workman comes along and In wonder
| fully deft manner chips 1t into frag
ments of uniform size Often for small

grain of wheat, but SO carefully is the
work done that tho little cylinders are
rarely cracked or spoiled.
The pieces are now picked up by boys
and placed in tub with sand and ashes
and stirred up carefully In this way
the holes in the embryo beads are stuffed
| full, thus preventing the danger of the
sides flattening together when heat is
| applied They are next placed in skill
| let-just such one as the housewife
uses in frying eggs-and stirred over
very hot fire until the ragged edges
where the pieces were broken from tho
| tube are rounded, giving the bead q
| globular form.
| AS soon as they are cool the ashes and
| sand arc shaken out of them in q sieve.
and then they are separated according
to size by other sleeves They arc taken
next to n long table around which a
whole flock Of boys and girls are sitting.

| piles of beads ON the table suggest q
rainbow, with every hue, from Jet black,
through red, green, yellow and blue. up
to white.
Each child has needle and thread,
and by long practice the beads are
placed ON strings with almost incon-
ceivable swiftness. And the children
keep an exact count, too, so that the
manufacturer knows just how many
beads he is sendtng out. The threads
are tied into bundles and shipped to al
most every port where vessel touches.

Mr.. Hamlin was true gentleman.

practice upon him those little exactions
and annoyances which he had been ac-
customed to impose upon others. After

In the works Of most old authors who
have written ON the subject Of agrioul-
ture, or astrology as it is supposed to
affect agriculture, frequent illusions are
made to the influence of the moon on
the growth of plants. In all these books
the husbandinan is especially cautioned
to SOW seed Of certain kind during tho
increase Of the moon, and those of an
other kind during its decrease Peas
and beans were accorded their share Of
this superstition, the careful gardener
being especially admonished never to
sow such crops during the period be-
tween new and full moon.
Sir Anthony Fitz Herbert says, "Tako
special care to SOW your pease in the
old Of the moon, cause then they will
codd better and be sooner ripe.
Thomas Tusser writes to the same
effect when he says:
Sow peas or beans in the wane OF the moon;
Who soweth Thorn sooner. he soweth too soon;
Tint they with the planet may rest and rise,
And flourish with bearing most plentiful WISE

uiu Notion Of Hospitality.

There is nothing like making people
feel at home. There is one man In our
street, says Washington writer. who
prides himself ON it. My friend Lucy
called at his house not long ago, and, as
everybody urged her to stay to dinner.
she staid. They had beefsteak for dinner
that night, and it was simply ideal beef
steak. The host urged Lucy to take q
second helping. and after politely de-
murring she accepted 1t. She was eating
it when tho young son Of the family
asked for more too.
Don't be pig, Jim" said his ia
Their, with the utmost cheerfumess.
"There isn't any more for You. You
see" turning to Lucy with smile Of
keenest hospitality, 1--WE weren't expect

A Disappointing Haul.

Some folks say" said fisherman,
THAT if fish once gets into a pound
net it never gets out until it is taken
out, but as matter Of fact fish often
got out Of pound nets. 1t is common for
sheepshead, bluefsh, Spanish maokerel
and shad to got ont of them. I've been
to pound net on Sunday and counted
1856 blueflsh, and when the net was
hauled on Monday found only four or
five. The fish get in, and if they find
the opening and get started right they
can get out They follow one another
like flock of sheep. New York Sun.

THE FlsH's BALLOON.
A Mystery That Scientists Have Not Ye
Been Able to Solve.

Mystery That Scientists Have Not Yet
Been Able to Solve.
Naturalists long ago studied the com
position of the gas contained in the
swimming bladder of fishes and discov-
constituents of the air--namely, oxygen,
nitrogen and carbonic acid. But these
constituents are not mingled in the fish s
balloon In the same proportions as they
are In the atmosphere, and besides their
proportions do not remain always the
same in tho fish. Sometimes the bladder
contains hardly any oxygen; at others
oxygen constitutes nine-tenths of the
whole contents.
The variation IN the quantity of oxy-
gen is somewhat mysterious, and nat
uralists have offered several different
suggestions as to the cause of it. Some
think the fish may be able to control tho
quantity of oxygen in its bladder by its
own will. Blot, distinguished French
naturalist, thought he had solved the
problem by discovering that the proper
ton of oxygen was larger in fish that
lived at great depths and smaller in
those that lived near the surface OF the
sea-
But quito recently now observations
made from the Prince of Monaco's yacht,
Princess Alice. seem to prove that Blot
was mistaken and that the deep dwell
ing fish carry no more oxygen in proper
ton than do those living in shallow wa
ter. Some of the fish whose swimming
bladders We're examined by the natural
lists ON tho Princess Alice came from a
depth Of no less than a mile.
They were compared with fish which
seldom descend below 200 feet in depth
and with others which prefer depth of
about 500 or 600 feet, and all had near
ly the same proportion of oxygen to aid
them In swimming.
The variations mentioned above seem
therefore TO depend upon some other
cause than the depth of the fish's dwell
ing place.
1t Is these unsettled questions that Of
fer to young naturalists some OF their
most brilliant opportunities for distinc-
tion. 1t is great mistake to suppose
that there does not remain plenty of
room for discovery in science. Youth Is

A Woman Of Nerve.

Mrs. Louis Kirshoffcr Of Orange. N.
j., is woman Of nerve. Tho other day
a hound belonging to her husband went
mad, broke his chain and made dash
at one of Mrs Kirshoffer's sons. He tore
the boy clothes, but fortunately did not
bite hard enough to break the skin.
Mrs. Kirshoffer rushed to her sons aid,
and tho dog turned on her and bit her,
but her clothes were too thick for him
to break tho skin. She then picked tho
dog up by the collar, carried him to the
cellarway, threw him down tho steps
and closed the door Mr.. Kirshoffer
came homo later and shot him.

He took Of tho midnoon's cloudless skies
And fashion d therefrom her two blue eyes.
He washed her white with the sinless SHOWS
And painted her checks with tho dawn's faint

He dimpled her tiny hands and feet,

Ho nodded her round white limbs with art,
He got her from heaven pure child heart.
Then he kissd her lips and her brow and eyea
And brought her, sleeping from paradise.

Bring rest and comfort and endless grace.

B. B. Herrick, and the farm OF Frank
Clifford, breeder of Berkshire and York
shire pigs and Dorset and Shropshire
sheep. Owing to the bad condition OF
the roads O. P. Chapman's premises in
Rochester could not be reached in time
to take the 3 O clock train for Cleveland.
Messrs. C. W. Horr, 0. P. Chapman, and
Frank Clifford were on hand to accom-
pany them. On their return they
visited the cheese warehouses and
cold storage rooms in the village. The
party expressed themselves as being high
ly pleased with their visit. At 8 O'Clock
they left for Cleveland, en- route FOL
