Possibilities of Glass.

Glass Is n material whose astonish-
ing possibilities we are only beginning
to understand. Incredible progress
has been made in its manufacture the
last ten or twelve years. We, who
saw the glass gown spun for the Prin-
cess Eulalia at. the Chicago EXPOSE
ton, will forget the wonder with which
that dainty creation impressed us
should we be lucky enough to see the
exposition in Paris In 1900. when M.
Henrivaux, an enthusiastic French
manufacturer, promises to show us
house entirely made of glass and
with furniture and even tapestries
made of the same material. This very
novel mansion is to have an original
scheme of being rendered always
warm in winter and cool in summer
nj. Henrivaux proposes to erect an iron
skeleton on which will be placed slabs
OF glass in such fashion as to form
a double wall. in the interior of which
hot air can be circulated In winter
and compressed air-which will cool
the walls-in summer. The roof will
be of glass on a network Of iron, and
the partition and staircases Of the
same Observation-Disclosures American.

A Fruit Seller Tells Why She Some
times Sets Exorbitant Prices.
while waiting for a cross-town car
TO the ferry yesterday" said a lady,
Il saw Il well-dressed woman stop at
fruit stand on the corner and ask the
woman in charge the price of ounces.
did not hear the response, but heard
the inquirer's exclamation as she
fiounced away.
".Oh. you are exorbitantv
Two Italian laborers stopped to price
the tempting-looking fruit.
"'Fifty cents apiece for ounces
said the fruit seller, and the astonished
men passed on almost at run, talk
ing excitedly together in their native
tongue and evidently feeling thit they
had barely escaped serious financial
peril
Curious to learn the reason for her
high valuations, / timidly advanced
In my turn and inquired the price Of
ounces. Her terms, courteously given,
were moderate, which emboldened me
to ask why she had named SO high a
price to the people who had come be-
fore me.
81 have been selling fruit at this
stand for ten years. she said, and
smiled wisely and l ought to be some
thing of a judge of people by this time.
The lady you saw did not mean TO
buy; she's one Of the kind that cannot
get past sales stand or counter with
out stopping to price everything on IL,
and l was pleased to have her think
me eXorbitant on the first question.
AS for the Italians, they thought the
ounces new kind of fruit that they
might buy and eat like an apple so 1t
was useless to waste time with them,
and / gave them figure that nearly
caused them to fall down. Now, with
you the case is different. You came
to me fairly for information about
something that interested you, and

Apropos OF the theatcr, saw some
thing one other night within the last
seven that filed me with n totally I'M
holy glee. says writer in the Wash
iIsgton Post. A woman sat in front
of me. She was decidedly plump-in
fact, she was what Illinois people call
corn-fed. She was barcheaded, too, by
the way, and before the play began
and after every act she had to stand up
out. 1t was a tight squeeze every
time, and as the man did not say "Par-
don me-" BEG your leave" or any
thing else to show the faith that was
in him, / could see the tide Of that
fat woman's wrath rise till its crimson
edge made the struggling fringe below
her back hair bristle Indignantly. At
last the play was over, and the man
wanted to rush out to join two women
iends-undoubtedly he'd have called
them '.lady friends"-whom he had
noticed near. But he did rush? Well,
if he did his rush wasn't visible to
the naked eye. That fat woman sat
down and put on her rubbers. Then
she replaced her gloves, which she had
taken off. Then she stood up, block
ing the passage, while she put on her
hat, adjusted her veil, and buttoned
her cloak. And all the while the man
was dancing with Impotence, unable
to get out, and the two LADY friends"
were passing out the door At last the
fat woman moved, and the MAXWELL,
inasmuch as nothing so much Anglers
man as n punishment he knows he
deserves, You can imagine how he
looked. For my part, 1 thought it was
delightful, and If ever meet that fat
woman I mean to tell her so.
