soon to be sold to an English syndi.
cate. The sale is said to be intended
to occur in June next. While the
place can not be strictly called the
property of an English syndicate, it is
virtually SO. The owners were re-
quested by the prospective buyers to
wait on them until June. when they
will close the transaction, and as a
guarantee of good faith the syndicate
has made deposit of $500, which
amount will be forfeited if the syndi-
cate does not carry out its promises.
The plantation has for long time
been the property of the Heine broth
ers, for whom Mr.. IL. Gally is agent.
When seen, Mr.. Gally said that he
was not in a position to make public
any of the details of the transaction,
but did not deny that proposals had
been received for the purchase of the
property.

Dean Hole, in his recent book, ''More Memories" tells on anu ing story of how an old woman got the better of her clergyman in an argument The vil- lage ehurchyard was overcrowded, ex- cept on its sunless northern side, in which the suicide was buried. One day the vicar, while visiting Q poor old won- an who was nigh unto death thought he would try to get her consent to be buried in the roomy northern plot. He began by ssJuring her that the com mon aversion to burial in any particu- lar portion of consecrated ground was q silly prejudice and foolish supersti- tion. Then he bcsought her, as a per sonsl favor to himself, and as an exam pie to others, to permit her body to be buried in the northern plot of the churchyard. The old woman thought it all over for few minutes, and then answered: Well, sir, as you seem to think one part of the churchyard is as good as another, and that it makes no difference where we be put, perhaps you'll gie US lead.n The vicar did not grasp the argument--but he changed the subject

 Imported cut glass is now rivaled by the American production nj price which, though high, is considerably less than thc foreign. Owing to the great amount of work required in cutting and polishing and the large percentage of brcalagc while in tho hands of the workmen cut glass must always he val- uable Once, while watching the process at an American factory which turns out some of the finest in the world, l saw a salad bowl break just as it was receiving It's final touches, and this without any fault of the artisan. On tho piece had already been expended enough work to bring the value of the article up to forty-dve dollara. Of course, the labor was totally lost.
 The two finest kinds of glass, Bo- hcmian and Venetian, arc named from the countries in which their manufae- ture has reached high degree of per lection. In the Venetian the beauty consists in thc delicoov of the material and form. It's production requires both technical and artistic skill in glass blowing while the Bohemian is dis tinguishcd by richness of ornanenta- tion through polishing end engraving.

As result we have to-day the Bohemian and Carlsbad glass which is beautiful, though sometimes made gaudy by ornamcntation of so- styled "jowcls'-that is, imitation of pearls, rubias, emoralds and garnets in colorcd rlaSs The result is often a brilliant medley that will hardly bear inspcption

DAMAGE eY LIGHTNING.
Is Increasing at Startling Eato Doth at
 Home and Abroad.


 Home and Abroad
 Statistics prove beyond question that damage by lightning is increasing at startling rate both in America and abroad. Scientists arc divided in opin- ion as to the cause of this phenomenon, some holding with much plausibility that it is duo to the vast quantity of artincially produced electricity cm- ployed for lighting and other purposes, which establishes Q connection with tho reservoirs of the fluid iE the atnos- phere. Others hold that tho cutting down of forests and altering the natural balance of air currents is to blame Others, again, assert that the trouble lies in the immense amount of coal aah and other finely divided solid matter suspended in the air from burning coal, which, saturated with aJmoapncrlc moisture, serves as good conductor The number of fires actually known to have been caused by lightning has been quadrupied in twenty years, while deaths from this source have Increased in alarming propori ion during single decade. The attention of savants and electrical. engineers has been called to the subject. and various propositions looking to some means of avcrting the danger to life and property have been made, but thus far none appear to be of practical value.
