ANTIQUE GLASS.
Some Priceless Bits That Have SUR
vived All Other ART Forms.

In the Century Russell Sturgis de-
scribes the famous Coleman collection OF
antique glass. a collection made by an
American artist in Rome and one OF the
richest OF its kind in the world. Mr..
SturgiS says:
The world of the Mediterranean Sea.
eighteen centuries ago, was rich in work s
OF art and decoration beyond our expert
ence and beyond our flight of imagina-
ton. 1t Is ali effort which few Of US can
make with success TO picture the wealth
in beautiful art of a great city OF the en-
pire. The marbles have been burned to
lime, the bronZes have been melted into
gros sous or their equivalent the stuccoes
have crumb bIed from the walls, the paint
lngs have gone down with their walls to
ruin, the shattered pottery has been used
in filling and grading and building, and
It's remaining fragments are Of no value
except Tor an inscription or an impressed
name-mere potsnerds, with now and
then scrap OF antiquarian interest.
The shattered glass alone contains in
its very substance such beauty, and sIIch
completeness even IN ruin, that It's frag-
rnents are treasured up and studied
These broken bits point to q general use
OF vessels OF decorative glass, used as wa
use porcelain for the finer vessels of table
and toilet, and also a great abundance of
objects Of pure ornament, OF wall lininps
and floor coverings made OF the same
splendid material. No other substance
is like that, beautiful in itself, in it's every
essence.
Fragments ofglass have often the value
that fragments of pottery sometimes
have-the partial figure, the incomDlete
pattern on the surface-and they have
also what no pottery and no other artiti-
cial substance has-the beauty we gem
orally think of as peculiar to natural
stones, to agates and TO jaspers. AS a
collector fills his cabinet with pieces OF
precious and seml-precious stones. with
here and there piece which has, as it
happens, head or a piece Of head
carved upon it, so the enthusiastic yitre-
ologist collects glass as glass, loving its
substance, lis surface, its colors, its text-
ure, its translucency and its opacity. It's
set patterns aud its vague cloudings
Here and there a stamped or a wheel
ground pattern adds its own attractive-
ness, but the glass itself is the thing.
Precious and beautiful is glass, even in
fragments.

The Bishops One Experiment.

This story of a well-known Bishop,
which reached me the other day, seems
good enough for publication:
The Bishop was one day examining q
batch of deacOns for priests orders.
After the theoretical part of the examina-
ton, he said to them: Gentlemen. you
have passed most excellent examina-
ton IL theory; l should now like to see
you do something practical. ! shall go
into the next room aud personate a sick
man. You will come in one by one, ad-
dress me as a sick parishioner and say
something comforting" When his lord
ship had retired, the candidates were in
some confusion, and nobody cared to be-
gin; but at last a mad Irishman vOlun-
teered to be first. lie entered the study,
and approaching theSBishop. who was ly-
ing with woe-begone air on a sofa thus
addressed him: ''Oh, Anthony, An
thony! The dhrink againI Shure it will
be the death OF ye! Turn from your evil
ways before it's too late, and be man ~
This is said to have been the last time
that the Bishop held practical examina-
tion.-London Truth.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The second
days debate on the Administration bill,
authorizing the issue of $500. 900 gold
bonds for the retirement of legal tenders
and treasury notes. was not productive
OF mark ed incident of any kind. A good
deal of confusion existed after 2 O'Clock.

amendments to the bill. Most of the
amendments were defeated as rapidly as
offered.
The Committee on Banking and Cur

amendments proposed by that COM

amendment proposing to strike out the
section providing for the payment of Gus

stand amended so as to make them pay
able in gold and silver. and that compell-

in gold and silver coin.

LOVE AND LIFE.

Sweet, we were happy, you and ],
Ere words of warfare came between;
Ere storms Of passion swept our sky,
That all so blue and bright had been.
But like a mad stream dashing,
Its vernal banks o'orsplashing,
Our swordlike speech came flashing
And sundered all between
Love, il was as the heavens are
Upon a clear and cloudless night,
When every golden, cleaning star
That earthward smiles Is shining bright
But peace affair was driven,
By jealous doubtings driven,
Till loves serenest heaven
Was turned to darkest night.
Life, it was sweet, and free from caro-,
For love and faith in you were life,
And both in you seemed doubly fair,
Who were with double fairness rife.
But from the wSrdy shower
Oh doubt and angrr'S hour
Spfang forth a bitter flower
To poison love and life.

HOW BEADS ARE MADE.
One Of the oldest and Most Interesting of
the Minor Arts.

k"C hho
Chinese are the oldest beadmakers in
the world. They have made beads so
long that even their historians do not
mention Il 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 so ex-
pert rs the Nenctians. At present there
are more than 1000 workmen i'll 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 II Venice.
For beadmaking there must be a rope
walk connected with the glass factory.
A rope walk is a narrow, straight gal
lery $50 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 "a huge wedge OF the
''mctal,' as the molten glass is called,
between their blowpipes, and after it
