Wood Finished Glass.

The various attempts which have been made to obtain an accurate imita. tion of wood in glass have now been successful. The process by which the effect is produced is quite simple, says The Upholsterer, and consists in cloud ing sheet of plain or ground glass on the reverse side with liquid dye of 8 proper color to represent any desired wood. The dye is applied by means of a sponge so manipulated as to bring out the semblance of the grain of the wood on the glass surface. A badger brush Is used to soften the shading, and the glass is then covered with varnish. This leaves the grain clear, distinct and fast without the necessity of using any gela- tinous substance, which would render 1t liable to shrink into crinkles, thus spoil ing the effect. To complete the opera ton the glass is heated slightly, and the various shades required for the particu- lar wood are caused to spread over 1t by means of a syringe, the merging of the shadings into each other being prevent ed by slightly heating the glass. The whole is made of semitransparent as- s,ect by means of another coat of var nish. which also preserves and protects the dyes, and with this final dealing the exterior surface is made to present the appearance of a highly polished wood finish.

Phyllis of the Weymouth boureeois;e was chosen by such a gentlemanly fel- low 1t was as if she were going to he taken to heaven, though perlaps tho un1ntormed would have seen no great difference in the respective positions of the pair, the said Gould being as Dooy as crow.
 This pecuniary condition was his ex. cuse-probably a true one-for post. poning their union, and as the winter drew nearer. and the king departed for the season, MT. Humphrey Gould set out for Bath, promising to return to Phyllis in few weeks. The winter ar rived, the date of his promise passed. yet Gould postponed his coming, on the ground that he could not very easily leave his father in the city of their so- Journ, the elder having no other relative near him Phyllis, though lonely in the extreme, was content. The man who had asked he1 in marriage was a desir- able husband for her in many ways. Her father highly approved of his suit. but this neglect of her was awkward. if not painful, for Phyllis. Love him in the true sense of the word she assured me she never did, but she had a genuine regard for him, admired a certain methodica1 and dogged way in which he sometimes took his pleasure, valued his knowledge of what the court was doing, had done or was about to do. and she was not without a feeling of pride that he had chosen her when he might have exercised a more ambitious choice.
 But he did not come, and the spring developed. His letters were regular though formal, and it is not to be wor- dered that the uncertainty of her posi- tion, linked with the fact that there was not much passion in her thoughts of Humphrey, bred an indescribable dreari- ness in the heart of Phyllis Grove. The spring was soon summer, and the sum- mer brought the king, but still no Hum phrey Gould All this while the engage ment by letter was maintained intact.
 At this point of time a golden radi- anee flashed in upon the lives of people here and charged all youthful thought with emotional interest This radiance was the York hussars

 diately from the outside of the garden wall the grass spread away to great distance. and it was crossed by a path which came close to the wall Ever since her childhood it had been Phyllis pleasure to chamber up this fence and sit on the top-a feat not so difficult as it may seem, the walls ill this district being built of rubble, without mortar, so that there were plenty of creyices for small toes.
 She was sitting up here one day, list lessly surveying the pasture without when her attention was arrested by a solitary figure walking along the path. It was one of the renowned German hussars. and he moved onward with his eyes on the ground, and with the manner of one who wished to escape company. His head would probably have been bent like his eyes but for hls stiff neckgear On nearer view she nerceiyed that his face was marked with deep sadness. Without observing her he advanced by the footpath till It brought him almost immediately under the wall.
 Phyllis was much surprised to see a fine. tall soldier in such mood as thls. Her theory of the military, and of the York hussars in particular (derlved en- tirely from hearsay, for she had never known a soldier i'll her lise), was that their hearts were as gay as thelr ac- couterments.
 At this moment the hussar lifted ms eyes and noticed her on her perch' the white muslin neckerchief which covered her shoulders and neck where left bare by her low gown and her white ralment in general showing conspicuously Ill the bright sunlight of this summer day, lie blushed a little at the suddenness or the encounter. and without halting mo- ment from his pace passed on.
 All that day the foreigner face haunted Phyllis. Its aspect was so striking. so handsome, and his eyes were so blue and sad and abstracted. It was perhaps only natural that on some following day at the same hour sne ehould look oyer that wall again and wait till he had passed second tune On this occasion he was reading iet- fer. and at the sight of her his manner svas that of one who had half expected

Hard Iron.
boundary

Space to considerable extent is given III The Railway Review to the process of producing iron discovered by s. R. Dawson of Des Moines It consists sim ply in placing wrought iron of good quality in crucibles and heating it to pasty state. A tempering and huxing element, the composition of which is net made known, is then added, and the Earther application of heat results in melting the mass, which is ready to be poured into molds after standing about 15 minutes. A square ingot of this metal measuring about two inches on side was forged into heavy lathe tool, this being heated, tempered and put in 8 double driving lathe to turn off Midvale steel tire upon which heavy tool of Mushet steel had been at work. The tempering was done at heat high enough totally to destroy steel, and ths process was a simple one, as no drawing of the temper was necessary. The piece was then heated very hot and plunged immediately into cold water, thus re. maining until cool and on being ground and put into the head of the lathe the tool apparently did as good work as the Mushet tool it replaced. A severe test was given it, owing to the presence of several hard spots in the tire, and cold chisel was afterward forged from the same ingot, which stood we'll in chip ping cast iron The advantage claimed for such metal is the capacity for being cast into so nearly the shape in which it is to be used as greatly to reduce tha cost of forging.

CHAPTER. IL

The present generation has probably but very dim notion of the celebrated York hussars of 90 years ago. They were one of the regiments of the King German legion, and though they some what degenerated later on, their bril- liant uniform, their splendid horses and, above all, their foreign air and mus tachios-rare appendages then-drew crowds of admirers of both sexes wher- ever they went. These, with other regi- ments had come to encamp on the downs and pastures because of the presence of the king ill the neighboring town
 Phyllis, though not precisely a girl of the village, was as interested as any of them in this military investment Her fathers home stood somewhat apart. and on the highest point of ground to which the lane aseended, so that it was almost level with the top of the church tower in the lower part of the parish.

ments are completed the house will have
