wide open space, and the flames danced
and cracked in way that would
have made any one but an enthusiast

house that had not been treated was

the unprotected cottage fell in. Then
the prince essayed to enter the build

The treatment of timber to make it
fire proof consists of removing the air
ard natural juices from the pores and
cells and impregnating these with
solution Of fire-resisting salts and
other chemicals The operation is
carried out under great pressure,
steam being first used to open the
cells. BY means of this new process

the wood thus specially prepared has
been offered to the public in the United

Tor exclusive use in all its ships of |

in the past few weeks that any

MAKING PLATE GLASS.
An Operation That Requires a Deal OF
Skill and Care.

An Operation That Requires a Deal of
Skill and Care.
A visit to plate glass works reveals
nothing perhaps more interesting than
the casting tables on which the heavy
plate glass used in most store windows
is cast. "The casting tables" said the
superintendent of large factory, "are
the most important pieces of apparatus
in this esta blishment.
each table is about 30 feet long, Is
feet wide and from to inches thick.
The heavy strips of iron on either side
of the tables afford a bearing for the
rollers and determine the thickness or
diameter of the glass to be cast
"The rough plate is commonly nine
sixteenths of an inch thick, but after
polishing it is reduced to six or seven
sixteenths. Ali casting tables are mount
ed on wheels which run on a track made
to reach every furnace and annealing
oven in the factory. The table having
been wheeled as near as possible to the
melting furnace, a pot of molten glass
is lifted by means of crane and it's
contents poured quickly on the table.
ga heavy iron roller then passes from
end to end, spreading the glass to uni
form thickness This rolling operation
has to be done by expert hands quickly,
as the boiling glass, when it comes in
contact with the cold metal of the table,
cools very rapidly. When the rolling
process has been completed, the door Of
the annealing oven is opened and the
plate of glass is introduced.
"The floor of the annealing oven is on
the same level as the wheels of the cast
ing table, so that the transfer can be
made by rail quickly. When the glass
is ready to be taken out of the oven, it's
surface is very rough. In this condition
it is used for skylights and other pur-
poses where strength is desired rather
than transparency. but when intended
for windows it is ground, smoothed and
polished and is then ready for the mar
ket. "-Boston Globe.

MAY HAVE MEANT WELL.
But Her Efforts Did Not Meet With Much
Success,

Success.
Last season Washington woman,
possessing both social and charitable
ambitions, elected to give reception.
The affair was to be very exclusive.
Judge of the surprise when bundle OF
invitations was left at the door OF a
hospital in town upon whose board OF
managers Mrs q. serves The invita-
tons were found to be addressed to the
trained nurses of the institution, and
great was the wonder that the profess
sional ranks had been invaded for So
ciety recruits.
A few days elapsed, and Mrs. 2. paid
visit to the hospital. Making herself
extremely agreeable, she remarked to
the nurses:
"Well, girls, I hope you received
cards to my receptions"
Smiles and acknowledgements answer
ed in the affirmative, and Mrs. q. went
on complacently:
"Indeed, 1 was only too glad to re-
member you all. Appreciate how much
work and how little play you girls
have, and thought you would enjoy a
little glimpse of society fun. "
"No doubt of it, Mrs. H." one of
the nurses spoke up, ''but none of US
are likely to have gowns suitable to
wear at such a function.
"Oh, that need not trouble you in
the least" returned the smiling Mrs.
2. "Now, my idea is this. Of course |
understand you have no evening gowns
and that you know very few society
people, but these facts must not inter-
fere with your getting peep at my
guests and eating some of my supper. l
thought the whole thing would be sim
plified if you all came in your pretty
uniforms and caps and took up your
stations in the dressing rooms. You
would only have to assist the ladies
with their wraps, and you could see the
gowns to such good advantage, and''-
But such a chorus of indignant ex-
clamation rent the air at that juncture
that Mrs. q. s sentence was never COM
pleted.
The social veneering must be thickly
coated on Mrs. T., for to this day she
does not seem to understand why the
nurses meet her advances with frigid
indifference and why her visits to the
hospital are no longer pleasant Wash

A Titled Costermonger.

An aristocratic costermonger is what
one would hardly expect to find in
Shoreditch, yet some years ago this was
favorite character of Lord Lonsdale.
1t was no unusual thing for this eccen-
trio nobleman to lay aside his dinner
dress and robe himself in the corduroys
and colored handkerchief of the coster,
and capital coster he made, having a
pair of lungs like couple of foghorns
and genius for acting the part which
was irresistible. London Answers.

The New Jersey Vote.

The amendment to confer school suf-
frage on the women of New Jersey was
defeated by majority of over $4,000.
The antigambling amendment was de-
feated by over 5000, and another
amendment was lost by only S43. This
vote shows two things-first, that the
suffrage amendment was defeated by
opposition and not by Indifference mere
ly; second, that it could not carry even
the vote of the moral element Of the
state. New Jersey needs good deal Of
education. Woman's Tribune.

TO CJRE DYSPEPSIA.
A New Remedy Which VIII Do 1t.

Chronic dyspepsia is considered by
many people to be nearly if not quite
incurable. No good reason can be
given why they think so except that
perhaps they have tried various rem
edies without much, If any benefit.
But the progress In every branch of
medicine has been such that among
other things lasting cure for midi
gestion in Its chronic form as we'll as
temporary has been discovered and is
now placed before the public strictly
on its merits as permanent cure for
all stomach troubles or difficulties
will. the digestive organs.
This new treatment is called Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, beng put up in
tablet form SO as to be easily taken
and also to preserve Its good qualities
for an indefinite length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms of indlges-
ton, and in many cases where ordi-
nary remedies failed to give even re-
lief, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
fully cured.
The splendid results from using
this preparation are owing to the fact
that it is prepared and intended for
dyspepsia and stomach troubles only.
1t is not cure all like so many adver-
tised remedies. claimi ng to cure every
thing under the sun, but it is claimed
that it is a certain cure for dyspepsia
and any one suffering from any form
of Indigestion cannot fail to get per-
manent relief and care from its use.
1t is so prepared and the ingredients
are of such nature that when the
tablets are taken into the stomach
they digest the food, no matter wheth-
err the stomach is in working order or
not. You get sustenance and strength
to mind and body by reason of the
food being properly digested and at
the same time the much abused stom-
ach is allowed to rest and recuperate.
Notwithstanding the great benefits
to be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the price is but 80 cents for
full sized package and all druggists
sell them.

THE PRESENT STRIKE.

The strike of the steamship hands
at the end of its first week, has as
sumed a serious aspect. The three
tramp steamers now in port have been
delayed nearly a week in getting their
cargoes aboard. The Mallory steam
ship has been delayed three days.
Extra police service has been neces-
sary and there has been no end of in
convenience to the shipping men.
All of this means loss to the port,
loss to the city's trade, no benefit to
anybody.
If the knights of Labor cannot see
their way clear to working for 10 to
20 cents an hour-the rates that are in
force at nearly every southern port
let them quietly step aside and hold
their peace. If they choose idleness,
1t is their privilege to enjoy it or to
suffer in it, as the case may be. They
cannot be foolish enough to suppose
that the big shipping concerns which
they seek to cripple are going out of
business because they do not care to
work for them. They cannot expect,
therefore, to safely interfere when
these shipping firms bring new men to
take their places.
The laborer has rights, but not to
the total exclusion OF the employer.
1t is the privilege of the latter to EN-
ploy whom he pleases, as it is that
of the former to work for whom he
pleases. When either party conflicts
with the other in the enjoyment of
these rights, it is the duty of the law
to step in and check the usurper.
II, as promised, the Mallory line
and the Johnston line import laborers
on Monday, those negroes who have
refused the employment which was
first offered them, cannot expect to
interfere with these new men and es-
cape the punishment of the law. They
will be clearly oversteppinG their
rights if they attempt any violence,
and they should be made to UNDER
stand so, once and for all.
THE TIMES does not know that there
is any intention of offering violence
to imported laborers; but it says these

The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes
cannot help feeling great qualification
at the thought that his children have
inherited from him no weakness nor
tendency to disease. The healthy old
man is the man who has throughout
his life kept his digestion good and
his blood pure. Not onein thousand
does do 1t. Germs go through the
healthy body without effect. Let
them once find Judgment or let the
find weak spot, they will develop by
giving strength to the tissues, it will
force upon them lnnutritiOus matter,
and the man will lose flesh and the
more susceptible he is to disease. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the only medicine that absolutely and
infallibly cures all blood diseases, and
almost all diseases are blood diseases.
1t isn't medicine for some one par
ticular sO-called disease. 1t is med
icine for the whole body. 1t forces
out all the germs of disease, and re-
places impurities with rich, red blood.
