Mirrors That Arc Transparent.

A great many devices are known fol-
the purpose of enabling people in
house to see what is going on in the
street without opening their windows
A new invention of this nature is re.
ported from Halberstadt, Germany, be.
ing plan for so silvering glass that ii
reflects the image when looked at from
one side, but when looked at from the
other is as transparent as ordinary
window glass. If this is glazed in a
dwelling-room window anyone inside
can see all the life Of the street, while
any passer-by looking in at the win
dow will see but mirror and nothing
more. This avoids, therefore, the
ANNOYANCE sometimes encountered in
glazing either clear window glass or
ground glass, in combining the special
advantages Of both. One object would
be that many people might stop to ad-
Just their personal appearance at such
mirrors. An innovation on reverse
lines is that recently made in one of the
Vanderbilt ball rooms, where the win
dows by day become large mirrors by
night through mechanical arrange
ments, and thus add simply but won
dsrfully to the brilliance of the scene.

Point Argued by Louisville Second Hand
Dealer Who Has Observed.
81 don't believe there is man living
who is without his pet superstition,
remarked secondhand furniture deal
er, says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
"We constantly have people who sell
us articles of household use, and come
in after few weeks-sometimes only
days--and try to buy them back again,
with the explanation that they had
had bad luck ever since the sale was
made and never would have good luck
again until the bargain was undone.
One woman who had sold us her grand
mothers clock fairly wept because it
was gone before she could buy it again.
"The idea is not confined to unedu-
Gated or ignorant people, by any means;
At this very time l know Louisville
business man of great culture and re-
finement who is vigorously pursuing an
old wooden desk which he owned many
years ago-a desk on which he made an
enormous amount of money by few
lucky strokes of his pen. The desk
passed from hand to hand and out OF
his possessions; he is now earnestly en-
deavoring to trace it and purchase it,
believing that recent business reverses
and hard times will flee away If he can
only stretch his legs once more under
that same old desk"

OBITUARY.
Mrs. AgelIne Tollingham Kendrick.

Mrs. Ageline Nottingham Kendrick.
It win crafty many friends OF Mrs
Kendrick td have some sketch OF her life
beyond mere dates and names OF places.
Early Injured to habits Of industry and
economy, she was a woman Of simple
tastes and unpretentious spirit
Win limited advantages, she obtained q
| good education and very early began the
work OF teaching, in which she was for
several years engaged, always proving q
successful teacher.
| Dec. 20, 1842, she married Asahel Ken
drick, MD. AT that time both were resi-
dents of Warren, vt.
Soon they removed to West Randolph,
for few years. Then for about three
years they lived in Bethel. Returning to
W. Randolph, they made that their home
till the death OF the doctor in 1890.
MIS-. Kendrick was a model as phvsi-
clans wife, taking warm interest in her
husbands patients and showing tender
sympathy with the sick and sorrowful.
She was gifted with unusual social
qualities and was an admirable entertain
er. Her kindly spirit and generous hos.
pltallty made her home pleasant resort
Tor large circle Of friends. 1t would be
dll1cult to find more devoted wife and
the relations OF life.
Her religion was eminently practical,
after the model of st. James.
Not neglectful OF church duties or OF
charities more remote, it was in the great
sphere OF home and neighborhood chiefly
that her piety "Found room for growth
and scope for exercise"
In writing of her death, a relative says:
"Har memory ought to make US more un-
selfish" And an acquaintance said: 81
feel that | have lost one of my best
friends"
Such will be the testimonials accumu-
lating on every hand when mention is
made OF her life and death.
"For blessed is the memory of the just;
II Is not prisoned by the gates of death;
1t comes with influence calm as evenings
breeze,
But strong as ocean tides that cannot be
depressed,
To keep us true to every sacred trust
And bring us safe where our beloved wait
To greet us in the realms OF endless rest"

ADVENTURES OF A BOTTLE.
Cast Upon the Waters 1t Returned After
Many Days.

Cast Upon the Waters 1t Returned After
Many Days.
In June, 1893, Lieut.. H. T. Mayo, o.
the United States navy, in charge Of
the photographic office at Port Towns
end, WASH, gave the captain of the
Northern Pacific steamer Victoria q
bottle which he asked him to drop into
the sea when his ship was about half
way across the Pacific on it's voyage to
China, SO as to test the currents The
bottle, saws the Chicago Record, was
securely corked and sealed and con.
tanned a request printed in seven diff.
ferent languages, including Russian,
Chinese and Japanese, that whoever
found it should send it to the nearest
custom house in the United States,
with the date and the location when
and where it was first seen. On july
4, 1898, when the vessel was in latitude
forty-nine degrees thirty-two minutes
north and longitude one hundred and
seventy-fve degrees and forty-two
minutes west, Second Officer Dobson,
NJ the Victoria, took the bottle ant
with swing of his long arm cast ii
Into the water One morning a few
weeks ago when Lieut.. Mayo came
down to his Office he found on his desk
package wrapped in an ancient and
much soiled German newspaper, which,
to his surprise, was found to contain the
very bottle he sent on that queer
errand about sixteen months before.
The janitor said the package had been
left there by two rough-looking sailors.
Upon drawing the cork the lieutenant
found a rude inscription upon the back
OF his carefully printed instructions
which read.
Here's your bottle. Found Ton such
and such date, III such and such lati-
tude and longitude). The next time
you cast a bottle adrift please put
something else in it besides piece OF
paper"

GRECIAN ENTERPRISE.
Why the Fruit of Athens Is Always To
Green to Eat.

| why the Fruit OF Athens Is Always Toe
Green to Eat.
| 1t is the way of travellers to complain
OF the food they are obliged to eat in
! foreign countries. Whether it is an
American in Europe, or European in
America, the result is much the same.
We like the things to which we are &C.
customed. When Edmond About was
in Greece, he carried matters so far as
to object to eating green peaches. He
was in the bazaar at Athens, says the
Youths Companion.
Wouldn't it be possible to get some
ripe peaches?" he asked the vender.
II think not, answered the Athenian.
But pray tell me why?"
'We have no good roads. If the
farmers should try to bring ripe fruit
to market on mule-bacl, it would arrive
in the shape of marmalade."
''But at Corfu, Also the peaches were
green, and they have good roads, and
bring the fruit to town in wagons"
"Ah, well" said the man, there is
another reason. The farmers have no
money, and they have creditors They
can't wait for fruit to get ripe"
There, says About, you have fair
example of the state of Grecian agricul-
ture.
A French gardener, being at Smyrna
noticed that the Greeks had almost no
vegetables in their gardens-tomatoes
everywhere, and scarcely anything else.
"Why don't you raise other things?"
he asked. Asparagus, now. Your soil
is just right. You would make fine
thing of it. ! will furnish you With
seeds"
"How soon should we get crops?"
SIN four years at the longest"
"Four years! Are you crazy? Do you
suppose we would spend money to get
something back in four years? We
should be bankrupt twenty times over
