ABOUT Cur GLASS.
The Kind That Ia Ia vogue and How to
Take Care OF IL.


Take Care OF IL.
Imported cut glass IS now rivaled by
the American production at price
which, though high, u considerably less
than the foreign. Owing TO the great
amount OF work required in cutting
and polishing and the large percentage
OF brealSage while in the hands OF the
workmen cut glass must always be val
liable. Once, while watching the
process at an American factory which
turns out some Of the finest in the
world, saw n salad bowl break just as
il was receiving it's final touches, and
this without any fault Of the artisan.
On the piece had already been expended
enough work 10 bring the value Of the
article up 20 forty.five dollars OF
course, the labor was totally lost.
The two finest kinds OF glass, Bo-
hemian and Venetian, are named from
the countries in which their manufac-
turo has reached high degree of per-
lection. In tho Venetian the beauty
consists in the delicacy 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 ornamental
tion through polishing and engraving.
After the rivalry Of England in add
ing mixture of lead 10 flint glass,
by means Of which was produced
a substance superior in brilliance
and transparency TO the Bohemians,
the continental workers set TO
work TO regain their supremacy.
This they did by discovering how TO
make colored glass, or rather by redis-
covering the old process and popular
ling &C. As result we have to-day
the Bohemian and Carlsbad glass,
which Is beautiful, though sometimes
made gaudy by ornamcntation of so
styled Jewels Is, imitation of
pearls, rubics, emeralds and garnets in
colorcd glass. The result Is often a
brilliant medley that will hardly bear
inSDcctiOn.

How a Certain Little Human Weakness
Affects tho Furnitnre Trade.

-
Affects tho Furniture Trade.
"Johr, said furniture salesman, the
other day, 90 the mover whom he had
summoned, "this bedroom set Is sold
but 10 Is not 20 be delivered just yet,
Move II out Of the salesroom az once
and store IL somewhere until want IL. !"
whats the use of moving IL until you
send Il up TO me?" asked the purchaser,
idly. "Why don't you leave it where II
is?"
The salesman, says New York ex-
change, uttered queer little laugh
and said
1T Is evident that you were never in
the furniture business, or you would
not ask that question. II l should
mark that set sold and leave 1t here
in the salesroom in plain sight II would
probably lose us several good sales"
'How SOP" asked the purchaser, with
an unbclieving look.
at illustrates universal weakness OF
human nature, +" laughed the salesman.
Everybody wants what he can't get,
and there Is nothing quite so attractive
20 the average buyer rs piece OF fur
nilhFc tudl boulcDOuy tl5c hdo poub ~
before he came around. II / left that
bedroom set out marked sold half n
dozen persons would say before night
that IL was exactly the set they wanted,
and when they heard there were no
duplicates they would fuss around en-
viously and nothing else in the estab-
lishmcnt would satisfy them.
Eventually they would go off dis
contentedly and buy elsewhere, though
the chances are that IL there were no
sold tag on the set none of them
would give II more than passing
glance, while fair proportion of them
would purchase other sets. IL is "A lit
tie human weakness, that is ALL"
So arises one OF the tricks Of the
trade. When dealer sells n piece OF
furniture of which he has no duplicates
nc hustles IL out OF the salesroom as
quickly as he can, lest IL lose him other
trade. But when he sells piece of
furniture Of which he has duplicates
he puts n big "sold" tag on IL and
leaves IL in open sight as long ms posi-
BILE for a bait TO others.

One OF the old fogies who spend their
days compiling disagrceable statistics
says that mustachcs are more common
among women now than formerly, and
that fully eight per cent. OF the women
arc thus adorned. This Is nonsense.
Probably this curmudgeon's eyebrows
nrc so thick and ovcrhanging that every
thing he sees appears to.kavc whiskers.
In tho countries of the Latin race
Italy, France and Spoin-womcn with
mustnchcs arc plentiful enough. There
is the queen OF Spain, for one. She
docs not mind II, for women with
downy lips arc admired In those parts
Of the world. Among nations OF the
Tcutonic race, on the contrary, there
Is q squcamish distastc for them,
probably because they are SO rare.
Women In England are not usurping
mustachcs along with other institutions
which man has surrendered 20 OF d.
yided with them.

A CLUB For TILTED MEN.

20 dine with friend at club that he
assured me was unlike, In some re-
spects, any other club in the world,

Cincinnati Enquirer. We went TO

him TO apply elsewhere for wife. Con-
siderably stunned, he could only cx-
claim: "Jiltcdl jilted" He bought this
house at first simply with the idea OF
living In IL, but one day he CHANGED
across friend who had had similar
experience with the fair sex, and, after
comparing notes, they decided TO live

campaign in society; that Is, TO
make themselves as interesting as
possible TO women, but never on any
provocation 20 marry. Before long
they heard OF another acquaintance

little by little, the affair has grown TO

Curious Racial characteristics Noted Ia
New York Restaurants.


The philosopher who Is to discover
the pondcrabllity of mans gray mat
ter" by the way In which he eats boiled
eggs IN not yet risen among rs, but IL
only requires the ordinary powers of
observation and moderate acquaint-
lance with the restaurants of New
York, says the Sun of that city, 20 dis
cover that there are some very curious
and clear indications of mans nation
atty 20 be gathered from watching
the way In which he performs this func-
tion.
To an Englishman, 1t will be seen,
there Is but one way in which 10 eat
boiled eggs, and oil other ways are
heathenish and an abomination. IL Is
necessary, in the first place. that his
eggs be medium boilcd--threc and a
half minutes Is the standard, tower
marked time-and then brought 20
table in a napkin, with bread and but
ter, spoon, pepper and salt, and AN egg
cup. Not one of those heavy, parti-
toned things, OF thick iron stonewarc,
with goblet-lilSc arrangement at one
end and smaller depression at the
other, but delicate little article of
white china, with plain gold band
around the edge, a narrow band II
should be, or, perhaps, little spray of
light tinted flowers painted on the
sides. Into this cup OF comfort the egg
slides deeply, just leaving sufficient
,sRount OF shell above the rim TO be re-
Smsved, and 90 remove this shell there
Is but one true method OF procedure.
Tho shell must be dainty Clipped with
the spoon, and the fragments must be
removed with the same utcnsil. There
are some people who brutally cut off
the top OF the egg with knife and
plunge the spoon at once in medias res,
but these are generally persons" and
are by no meass representative of the
true and insular art of egg eating. IL
Is allowable, under certain conditions,
Co use the fingers to remove the broken
fragments Of the Clipped shell, but the
use cannot be commended as good form.
