Two little busy, pattcring feet
Have crossed the waters cold,
To walk with shining angels
On streets of purest gold.

India Rubber Glass.

Scarcely "a month passes without our
being informed of some new application
of glass in art or commerce, but there
to most people-namely. soft glass or
glass paste. Yet it is hundreds Of years
old.
The old Roman glass makers carried
to the grave their secret method Of pre-
pairing glass paste which they modelled
cold, just as we model clay. This MALE
able glass, upon which you could get
the impression of your finger exactly as
with dough, gave off a most pleasant
perfume.
Another variety made by the Romans
had qualities similar to rubber. If it
were thrown down forcibly it rebounded (:
if struck with "a hammer it yielded and
Immediately resumed its original shape.
1t is related that the Emperor Tiberius
ordered a workman's head to be cut off
so that he should not reveal the secret,
the reason given for this act being that
if the method Of preparation became
known people would think no more of
gold than of dirt.
The secret of the manufacture of
glass paste died with the Roman ar
tisans and has never been discovered.
Now we hear that an eminent sculptor,
who has well equipped chemical labor
atory, has succeeded in producing a
glass paste similar to that described in
ancient writings. You can drive nails
into it as you can into lead. Pearson $

A Proud. Sensitive Hen.

He was being interviewed On the
poultry business, when he said: 81 don {
want to boast, but 1 do think we have
got the knowingest hens in the world
in our end of the town. / have flock
of 200, all black. 1t is a theory of mine
that black hens lay better than those of
any other color. One day found hen
in my flock with n few white feathers
in her tail l called the hired man and
told him to catch and kill her. 'You
can't rely on the laying capabilities of
hen with white feathers, l said. The
hen gave me sorrowful look. but did
not say q word.
Next morning the hired man told
me that he could not find her. A month
or two later opened pile of potatoes
i had stored in the cellar and found a
big hollow space in the center of them.
There was bunch of black feathers in
the place, with three white ones stand
ing up in defiant sort of way. Behind
the feathers were 66 eggs. l recognized
at once that it was the work of the
missing hen. The proud, sensitive crea-
ture had slowed herself away and worn
herself out laying eggs to prove that the
theory was a mistaken one Wabash

Journalism.

William Black, the novelist, was once
leader writer for the London News.
When asked the other day what he
thought of journalism as a literary
training, he answered: II don't know
that it was of any particular value in
my case, but journalism is most useful
in the making of a novelist in that it
gives him experience of large sphere
of life, but to get the fullest amount of
such experience a man ought to be re-
porter. There is now quite remark
able group of novelists who have been
journalists. But Journalism itself has
undergone remarkable change since
worked at it, In the last 20 years the
newspaper has become magazine COM
pared with what it was. The daily
newspaper is now ready to take any
thing, ON any subject-literature, sci
ence, art--from anybody, providing
only il is interesting.

Waiting TiaaueR.

What is the next thing for our scien.
tific men to discover? OF course we un.
derstand that magnificent results would
follow the economical storage OF cleo
tricity, and we all admit that it would
be a great comfort to chase birds through
the air with wings as good as their own.
But there is another matter far more
important-namely, to find some way
in which the wasting tissues Of the body
can be restored. AS it is now we lose a
little more than we gain, and after
awhile the tide ceases to ebb and is SIM
ply "out." Now, if the poise could be
maintained and we could replace what
we lose we might live as long as we
pleased, but, better still. we might re.
new each defective function, and live
healthily What marvellous question
that isl And how easy it appears to be
to make the needed discovery! Perhaps
it will come by and by. Who knows?-

Early Mention of TOBACCO.

The first account in which the tobac-
co plant was infinitely described was
sent from Haiti to Peter Martyr in the
year 10000 years ago exactly-that
by Hernandez de Oviedo, the man who
introduced tobacco culture into Spain.
In 1861 Nicot, the man for whom nico-
tine, the active principle of tobacco, was
named, brought it under the notice Of
Catherine de- Medicb to whom he pre-
scented some plants grown in his own
garden from seed brought over from
Florida. Nicot appears to have been
the first European to use tobacco as a
medicine, proof Of which may be found
In Arber's reprint of the famous tract
issued by King James, and which bore
the title of "a Counterblaste to Tobac-
CO." The very earliest detailed account
Of the tobacco plant in the English Ian
guage is by Mr.. Arber mentioned

The Easter Egg.

It is far back enough to trace the
mystery of the egg to the egg and dart
pattern, but when we come to study the
history Of the Easter egg we engulf our
selves in the remoteness of time. In a
poached egg-what is the definition of
poach? Now, Easter and the Jewish
passover occur at quite the same dates,
and the pasch egg is the Passover egg.
and from that may come the potcb,
pooh, poche, potched or poached egg.
The old Aryan myth, so folklorists tell
us, finds its revival in early Christian
ity's adopting the egg as an emblem of
the resurrection. As to the pecking of
eggs, and the appropriation Of the bro
ken one by the lad possessing the hard
err egg, that began as soon as juvenile
greed was developed, and the small boy
