Glass May he Cut With Scissors.

Glass May Do Gut with SclSsOFSs
With an ordinary pair of scissors you
may cut a sheet of glass, window
pane, for example, as easily as card
board. We have never known this
statement to be made without its pro-
voking an incredulous smile, for it
seems an impossible thing.
However, it is altogether possible;
more than that, it is very easy to do,
il you go about it in the right way.
The accompanying illustration shows
a man performing this apparently mar
velous feat. He is standing by a tub
of water, and is careful to keep the
scissors and the glass both entirely
under the water while he does the cut
ting. In this way he may cut the glass

Most Of us who have had anything to
do with weddings have had experiences
Of the direful effects Of the showers Of
rice which mark the departure Of the
bride and groom. says the London
Queen. There are few young couples
who have not entered upon their hon
eymoon with actual physical pain.
thanks to the stone grains which have
stung their eyes and ears and have
found their way into their clothes and
down their necks. Worse disasters
even than this have followed the use OF
rice as a sign of the goodwill Of their
friends, and serious accidents have not
infrequently occurred in consequence Of
the reckless showering Of these grains.
The horses have been scared, and this.
in some cases, has led to the overthrow
ing of the carriage and the severe In
jury of its occupants. Attempts have
occasionally been made to mend this
state of affairs, but until lately moth
ing has taken the place Of rice. Rose
petals and small flowers have been
tried, but they have many disadvant-
ages, notably that of becoming crushed
to pulp and leaving unsightly stains on
the carpets of the house. Shreds OF col
ored paper have occasionally been used,
but in these there is something too sug-
gestive of the schooboy's hare and
hounds" to excite much interest. At a
recent fashionable double wedding at
the west end considerable admiration
was caused among the guests by the dis
tribution of confetti as substitute for
the offending rice. They were such as
are used at Eastbourne and the Riviera
for the battle Of flowers and on similar
occasions. For the benefit Of such read
ers as are unacQuainted with confetti
I may describe them as tiny paper wa
fers, principally gold and silver. with a
few colored ones intermixed by way of
adding to the effect. The progress Of
each bride down the staircase to the
carriage on. this particular occasion
was made in a shower of gold and sill
ver-surely as good an omen for her
future prosperity as could possibly be
afforded by the prosaic grains Of rice.
The effect of the myriads of sparkling
confetti was absolutely charming and
fairylike as they fluttered to the ground
the sun catching them as they fell. Ger
'tainly they chung about the dresses Of
the newly married couples, but they
did no harm, and were soon shaken of.
In the house, as they fell on the floral
decorations and sparkled among the
roses and ferns. they produced result
that is we'll worthy Of note by those
whose business it is to provide novel;
ties for functions of this sort. AS for the
horses, they were sublimely uncon-
scious of the tiny gold and silver
pieces with which their backs had been
sprinkled by the time they started.

Mothers Letter.
Here is a bundle of mail from town.
A dozen miles away,
And that is a distance dear, you know,
We cannot go each day.
There are letters from many friends
That somehow don't forget,
For all that we're away "out West"
That we are living yet.
All, here is one from brother John,
And one from sister May;
l scarce can wait to read them all
wonder what they say.
But as I look the missives DER,
There's one do not find:
It always used to come so prompt
Can it be left behind?
The writing on the envelope
Old-fashioned and so small
Was always first to catch our eye,
And dearest Of them all.
Twas filed with tender, loving
thoughts,
That only mothers know,
For children who have left the nest,
Wherever they may 60.
But ali, the hand that used to write
So faithfully to me,
Is folded now on loving breast,
In silent mystery.
And through the years that come an
60;
My heart may long in vain:
For letters from that mother loved,
Will never come again.
And yet, know, in that fair land,
Where partings are no more,
She'll wait and watch to welcome me,
Upon the heavenly shore.

Coal Gas In Navigation.

The efficiency of coal gas in. practical
navigation has been demonstrated, ac-
cording to accounts of recent trials at
Havre, and French capitalists are re-
ported as having taken the matter in
hand with view to its thorough de-
velopment. In the late trials made by
the promoter an iron boat of some $50
tons was employed, a vertical gas motor
of 40 horsepower furnishing the power,
coal gas compressed to pressure of
1,400 pounds per square inch being
stored in steel tubes placed between
decks, and regulator, situated between
the gas reservoir and the motor, to re-
duce the pressure of the gas entering the
motor to the flow ordinarily required.
Public trials of the craft show that
the officer in charge has her in complete
control, changing with ease her course,
also slackening or increasing the rate of
speed and stopping or even going back
ward almost instantaneously by the use
Of the reversible screw. Though the cost
of power by this system will, as claim
ed, be more economical than any other,
the chief saving will be effected by the
comparatively small room required for
the motor, and the fact is noted as re-
narkable that pure coal gas, compressed
to a pressure as high as 1900 pounds
per square inch, does not show an APP
probable condensation.

delight, great respect for that busy
little animal is aroused. The splendid
way i'll which he fights Nag and Maya
ina, the big black cobra and his wife, is
thrilling.
There is such a thing, however, as too
much activity on the part of the mon
goose. The people III the island of ia
maica are realizing this. They imported
the mongoose i'll large numbers to kill
the rats, which We're so numerous there
that they did much damage to the sugar
cane. The mongoose promptly killed
the rats, but when they were all de-
stroycd it still went on killing and de-
stroyed all the snakes, toads and crabs
that are useful to eat up the singing
insects that live down there AS n re-
suit these have much increased. for tho
mongoose does not caro- for them. and
not only that, but the mongoose. having
about finished the rats. snakes and
toads, does not find enough to feed upon
and so steals eggs and kills young pigs,
lambs, calves. puppies, kittens and game
birds and destroys fruits and vegetables.
Pretty soon the islanders will have to
import something to kill the mongoose.
