GLASS IMITATION OF WOOD.
The Process by Which the Deception Is
Accomplished.

The Process by Which the Deception Is
Accomplished.
A patent has been taken out for
singular butingenious process for max
ing glass veneers. The invention re-
lates primarily to the production of or
namental glass, which may be either
semi-transparent or Opaque, and is
made to represent highly polished wood
of any description. When used for
veneering, it is particularly adapted for
vestibule and other doors, the exterior
of the glass having the appearance of
polished wood, while in the interior of
the house it shows semi-transparent.
The process by which the material is
produced is to cloud sheet of ground
or plain glass on one side with liquid
dye of the proper color to represent any
desired wood. The dye is applied by
means of sponge, which is so manipu-
lated as to bring out the semblance of
the grain of the wood upon the surface
of the glass. A badger brush is used
to soften the shading. The glass is
then covered with photographers var
nish. This leaves the grain clear and
fast, without the necessity of using any
gelatinous substance, which would rem
der it liable to crack and spoil the eff
feet. To complete the operation, the
glass is slightly heated, and the various
shades required for the particular wood
to be initiated are caused to flow over
it by means of syringe. The merging
of the standings into each other is pre-
vented by the heating of the glass.
The whole is made semi-transparent by
the application of another coat of
photographers varnish, which pre-
serves and protects the dyes. The ex-
terror surface then presents the APP
pearance of a fnely-polished, solid wood
finish

James Corbett is rapidly exem-
plifying the inevitable tendencies
of a life in the ring. His repudia-
ton of his wife is only a little
longer step in the downward direc-
ton, for she was the great obstacle
in the way Of his continuing his
pugilistic career. 1t was a little
too tough for her, but his present
companion seems to take to that
kind OF life much more naturally.

its popularity for hundred years or SO,

If it ceases to be sport in itself and
comes to be so intimately connected
with the problem of existence that the
man who rides wheel stands better
chance of getting living than the
man who doesn't it is easy to see that
the human figure will be modified.
The handsome man or handsome wom-

adapted to doing his or her duty in the
station of life unto which it shall please
God to call him or her. In such a case,
then, he will be an Apollo who has a
crimp in his backbone just above the
hips, a graceful forward bend along the
spine, an upward kink at the neck and
shoulders thrown well forward.
He will have calves like Indian clubs

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS
OF MOUNT LEBANON.

We may not accept their peculiar re-
ligious views. We cannot enter into the
spirit of their sacrifices, and therefore we
do not study their habits Of life.
II is not necessary to believe as they do,
but we can and do respect their sincerity
OF purpose and the honor and uprightness
which mark all their business dealings.
In one particular the Shakers excel all
other men or classes of men This Is in
the cultivation of medicinal herbs and
plants. They have made 1t study for
more than one hundred years. They are
also expert In extracting from them their
characteristic essences and medicinal vlr-
tues: This is their peculiar industry.
Their lives have been devoted to it. BY
II they are supported. They excel in this
branch as do the monks of the order Of
st; Benedict with their famous liquor
called "Benedictine."
Now, this lifelong study on the part of
the Shakers has not been in vain. They
have accomplished much good. Their
medicinal extracts and cordials are known
throughout the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is prob
ably the most useful medicine ever given
to the public. 1t Is not cure for all dis
eases; it doesn't pretend to be: but one
disease 1t will cure, and that is indiges-
ton. 1t Is not pretended that it will cure
anything else, and a sufferer has not TO
mediate. Almost the first dose viii! give
relief, and, II continued, a permanent cure
will follow.

of our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books,

Canada is not going to make a
success OF her Australian ca BILE,
via Honolulu. The British gov.
eminent is not taking any stock in
the new cable, preferring to con-
centrate all its efforts to improv-
ing the line by way Of the Suez
canal. Great Britain sees that she
must force trade and news in that
channel or the route once so popu-
lar will fall into disuse, as other
more direct ones for communica-
ton between the western Ameri-
can shores and the Australiss and
India are established.

The principal fun at the cotton
exchanges just now seems to be
guessing at what the next govern
ment report will be. The reports
sent out are considered absurd
and as conveying no accurate in
telligence as to the situation. The
cotton brokers are better posted
than the government bureau.

There is nothing definite about
Cuban affairs known, save that not
even the Cuban's themselves are
certain of what they would prefer.
What they want is not indepen-

the wing Of Spain or the United
States. Independence would hand
them over to the Negroes.
