Glass iiOGScS.

One of the promised novelties of tho
next great Exposition will be a glass
house. The building will have a
skeleton frame OF iron, on which will
be fastened glass posts, making dou-
BILE wall. The roof will be of tinted
glass, and cornices, foundation, door
step and stairways will be OF thick
slabs of glass. limitations of all sorts
of building material will be possible
in the new house, and the tops of pill
lars and mouldings will be stamped
in arabesques and flowers. By i'm
proved methods, glass tubing and
pipes are made that have resistance
equal to cast-iron. When these pipes
can be used for conveying water, we
will be sure of much better quality
of this article than at present, as no
peculiarities of soil can corrode them,
and the water will acquire no unusual
taste. New York Ledger.

HOW SHALL LOVE your

How shall love you? dream all day,
Dear of tenderer, sweeter way;
Songs that l sing to you-words that I say
Prayers that are voiceless on lips that would
pray
These cannot tell OF the love of my life;
How shall l love you-my sweetheart, my
wife?
How shall 1 love you? Love is the bread
OF life to a woman-the white and the red
OF all the worlds roses the light that is
shed
On all the worlds pathways till light shall
be dead
The star in the storm and the strength in
the strife;
How shall l love you-my sweetheart, my
wife?
Is there burden your heart must bear?
l shall kneel lowly and lit it, dear!
Is there thorn in the crown that YOU wear
Let it hide in my heart till rose blossoms
there!
For grief or for glory-for death or for life,
So shall love you-my sweetheart my wife

There are so, 900 more women than
men in the State of New York. The
universal lew governing such matters
makes the female population of long
settled country or district higher
than that of one newly settled or
partly developed, and so in the New
England States the number of women
is in excess of the number of men,
while in the Western and Pacific
States this is reversed.

TO PREVENT DRUMsr1cK BURNING.

An ingenious woman has discovered
a method to prevent the drumsticks of
turkeys from burning to crisp.
When the bird is well started in the
oven, she mixes q dough with -four
and water, rolls it out on the board
and covers the turkey with it, blanket
fashion. This cover remains until the
bird is nearly done, when it is care
fully lifted out, the outside of the
turkey thoroughly basted with butter
and dripping and allowed to become
slightly brown. If the blanket re-
mains on until the roast is cooked, the
skin Of the bird and much of the meat
may come off with it. tbs, therefore,
necessary to remove it somewhat
earlier. According to this unidenti-
fed authority, the caterer for small
family, who must buy a very small
roast of beef, will find this most ad-
mirable plan in cooking the meats.
AS rule, small roast is likely to be
overdone. By this means the cook
can, with a little experience, gauge
the process with the utmost nicety.
In the broiling of steaks, also, the
same plan may be adopted. New
York Observer.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

zEEPINe HOUSE PLANTS FROM FREEZING.
On very cold nights it is sometimes
difficult to keep the house plants from
freezing. A few of the tenderer kinds
may be removed from the colder
window to the middle of the room,
and the others covered with news
papers. Pinning newspapers against
the window sash will prevent much of
the heat of the room from escaping.
When there are many plants, useful
plan is to place couple of lamps, or
a small oil stove between the flowers
and the window, and light them just
before retiring. The coldest time will
occur in the early morning when the
house fires are the lowest, and the
lamps will then be at work. American
Agriculturist.

About fourteen per cent. of the en-.
tire number of medical graduates
drop out of the profession within a
few years, AYERS the Chicago Herald.
Some few never practice; others are
tempted by better Inducements into
other fields of work; some are driven
to suicide on account of failure; 9TH
ers succumb to contagious diseases !;
still more lose their health on account
of exposure to inclement weather and
accident, or on account of mental
anxiety. Among these we must in
clude those who become insane or
who contract the alcohol, morphine
or cocaine habit. Worse than all
else, few are driven into quackery.
Any one may make a mistake in the
choice of life work, and it is no dis.
credit to abandon practice. There are
plenty OF honorable employments fol
unsuccessful physicians; there are
schools to teach, merchandise to sell,
drugs to dispense, news to gather; al
any rate there is coal to shovel and
wood to saw. 1t doubtless seems o
pity to sacrifice the investment oi
three or four years hard work in the
study of medicine, but it is cheaper
than to sacrifice honor and prostitute
medical science to duackery.

The Atlanta Constitution remarks: ::
When we read that the late Count de
Lesseps was ten years old when the
battle of Waterloo was fought, and
that he saw both Napoleon and We'll
lington after that event, the great
Corsican seems to be brought within
sight of the men of our own times.
The fact is, many persons now living
might have seen him. Dozens of peo-
pie in Atlanta were half-grown at the

seeing Napoleon when she was a little
child.

A JUMP THAT COST A LIFE
From Poughkeepsie's Bridge to the

I'm pact With the Water After a Drop of

Fatal Injury

POUG GHKEEPSIE, n. Y. Oct. 81
Patrick King Callahan. 26 years old, who
lived in New York, jumped from the top
of the Poug ghkeepsie bridge into the river
today. The distance is 212 feet. At least
thirty people saw Callahan's exhibition
of nerve. The bridge jumper was seri-
ously injured and paid for the daredevil
experiment with his life.
Callahan and his back rs, John Peck
hard and William Lloyd OF New York,
accom- panied by dozen sporting men
ana reporters. arrived at Highland on the
6 :0S train this morning. Callahan, ac-
com panied by four of his party, elm oeu
up the mountain side to the entrance of
the bridge, wnere they euded the watch
man by telling him they belonged to
party of painters who were engaged in
painting the bridge. They passed out to
u point within 175 feet of the west shore.
where Callahan prepared TO jump. He
wore q pair of black trousers and navy
blue wooden shirt over suit of ordinary
underclothing and wore heavy leather
SHOES. His associates strapped cork
Jacket, or lite preserevr, around his waist
AID attached an inflated beet bladder to
each of his shoulders. These were calcu-
lated to keep him erecs while falling.
Without sign OF fear Callahan clim bed
over the railing and held rrom the edge
of the foot path by his hands. His friends
were waiting under the bridge in two
row boats to pick him up. and as soon as
he saw them he ed goodbye TO
those on the bridge and let 90. AS he
nesred the water mis- legs separated and
he struck with a noise that sounded like
the report of a gun. He came TO the
surface quickly. and, moaning as ii in
great pain, struck out for one Of the
boats the occupants of which picked
him up and took him ashore. Then he
was carried TO Ned Deans hotel and a
country doctor said he was not seriously
injured. This afternoon other doctors
