THE SAND BLAST.
Something About the Working of This
wonderful Process.

General BENJAMIN G. Tilghman of Phil
adelphia invented the sand blast process
1t is used for cutting, boring, pulvcrizing
and engraving stone, glass, wood and 9th
er hard or solid substances.
The well known abrading power OF
sand when driven by mir or water against
hard substances suggested the sand Dlast 10
General Tilghman and led him TO make
his first experiment. He fitted up IA very
simple air blast, producing but few
ounces of pressure, and by means OF IA con-
centric Jet of glass this air was made TO
drive the sand against the object to be cut.
He found that holes could be bored through
common window glass in few seconds.
Further experimenting, he discovered that
he had only to improve the apparatus to
get increased efficiency.
The sand blast performs both heavy and
light work For heavy work high pres
sure and great velocity are necessary. The
heavy sand blast is used chiefly for orna-
menting and dressing stone after IL mas
been quarred. For light work the pres
sure is light and the velocity low.
Letters may be cut in marble by means
of the sand blast in the following manner
The stone or marble Is first covered with
a thin sheet of wax, and the letters are cut
in the WAX, leaving the marble exposed
Next the marble is passed under the blast
and the sand cuts the letters deep into the
stone without injuring the wax in the
least In like manner any ornamental de
sign may be cut into the stone.
Glass, too, may be ornamented by means
of the sand blast. If piece of glass b'
| covered with fine lace and placed under
the blast, not thread of the lace will b
injured, but the pattern will be beautiful
| ly cut into the glass.
The sand does not affect soft, yielding
/ substances, but quickly cuts away iron
steel, stone, glass or any other resisting
] substance. The workmen can hold thei
J hands under the blast and receive no III
! jury by simply wrapping their finger nail
in little pieces of soft cloth.-Philadelphi

GOOD APPLE SAUCE.
Suggestions For Making II and How to
Prepare the Fruit

And we had the best apple sauce said
young girl when telling of visit to
dear old aunt
wherein did it differ from all other APP
pie saucesS'' tho mother queried quizzical
ly, for the mother thought she knew all
there was To know about apple sauce.
We'll, | don't know, said the young
person, "but it was the best, and she put
the sugar in IL before she cooked it, and it
was so different from any other.
1t SO happened that the mother had oo-
cSsioD To make some apple sauce for tea,
and not to be outdone by any auntie, how
ever worthy she might he, the mother also
put the sugar in before she cooked the APP
pie, but the young person said 1t wasn't a
bit like aunties.
Now, | happened to know just how this
auntie really did make her apple sauce,
and will tell you, besides giving you an
other way too.
Peel tart apples and quarter them. III
very large, cut the quarters once in two.
Have 2 quarts when peeled, and put them
into granite kettle; pour over them
cups Of sugar and set on the back part OF
the range, when there is a fire in 1t. Let
them cook slowly until perfectly clear.
Cover them closely
l didn't say anything about the waters
No, and that is just where the difference
comes in. The apples are cooked in Their
| own Juice, and this combined with the sug
ar, makes rich and delicious siruI
which will almost jell when cold.
Don't be afraid of their burning to the
kettle, though they will if put over hot
fire at first 1t will not take long fol
| enough Juice to exude TO cook them, ant
they may be left whole. They must b'
cooked until they look clear and translu
| cent.
For the other recipe use red apples
you can. Cut up couple OF quarts o
apples, or have couple of quarts whel
they are cut. Do not pare them Pu
them into small stone jar. Put owe
them two big cups of sugar and cove
closely. Place in the oven and let ther
remain four hours at least. The owe
should not be very hot. The apples wi
come out looking as red as rubies clea
through, and tasting so delicious the
would tempt even a non apple sauce love
to try them. Household.

WINDOW GLASS STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Factions in the Union Give the Manufact-

Anderson, Ind, June 15.-The window
glass workers strike in the Anderson
Glass company's four factories was de-
clared off Saturday and work began

able to run until the end of the present
wags scale term, June 80. The blowers
and gatherers are to have a national
meeting at Cleveland July 6. The end
Oh the strike was not reached until the
company posted notices that the fres
would be drawn at once and settlements
made with employees. The company's ac-
uon was fastened by the violation of the
wage scale on the part of the strikers go

management.
The origin of the trouble is the dis
pute between the two classes Of work.

When Walter Forward-then 16-was
working on his fathers clearing in Ohio,
an odd volume of Blackstone fell In his
way He pored over IL at night, and re-
solved at whatever cost to become a law

He knew the name of but one lawyer In
the world, certain Henry Baldwin, who
lived in the village of Pittsburg, 800 miles
distant.
He started on foot TO find him with 81
in his pocket and his volume of Blackstone
in bundle hung on stick over his shout

clothes on his back. On his way he found
an old horseshoe, which he put in the
bundle for good luck.
Before he reached Pittsburg his money
was gone. He could not pay for crossing
the ferry to the town. The ferryman at
last agreed to take the horseshoe as fare.
Forward on reaching the village walked
up the street, reading the signs. man
who was mounting a horse asked him
what he was looking for.
"A lawyer named Henry Baldwin" he
answered
II am he. What can do for you, my
| lad?'' Baldwin said kindly.
The boy told his story. Baldwin looked
at him and then handed him the key of his
office and told him to take possession of 1t

foremost jurists in the country. He was
secretary of the treasury under Tyler, and,
later, minister TO Denmark.
Such stories as this illustrate the hard
daily struggles of most of the men of that

A FISHING RECTOR.
He Delayed Sunday Services That He
Might Catch a Fish.

The Rev. John Snakering was rector of
a small parish on the left bank of the riv-
err Trent. Indeed he was rector of the
whole village as well as being the landed
proprietor. But for the fact of his being
a humane and generous landlord, with
strong spice of sport, in which he joined
the villagers ut times whether with rod
or gun or occasionally sharing in the
tallyho, he was as much the ruler or
bodies and souls of his neighbors as was
formerly the veritable plantation and slave
owner in the southern states of south
America. All the farms in the neighbor-
hood were his freehold property, and all
the farmers, their sisters, cousins and
aunts owed and paid him allegiance.
Hence his congregation at the church COM
prised his tenants and their families and
occasionally included devout pedestrian,
who would step aside from the fiowcry
mead to share in the Sunday services.
The rector was u broad minded man
who had not discovered the sinfulness of
angling on the day usually devoted to rest.
One Sunday morning, with rod in hand
and jack boots incasing his sturdy neither
limbs, he had reeled n handsome grayling,
and as an experienced angler he knew that
this tribe of fish run in pairs rs mates.
The parish clerk put in an appearance and
thus addressed his reverend master: Sir,
it's quarter past IL, and the congrega
ton is getting uneasy. I'm afraid they II
| all go home if you don't come at once. y
LET them go and be-happy If they like.
I'll not stir peg till I've caught that 9th
| er grayling, F" was the parsons reply. For
| tunately the contamination so devoutly to
be wished quickly followed, and the rector
| clinked with his fishing boots up the aisle
| of the adjacent church. The service was
none the less appreciated by the congre

Her Handbook.

In neat little volume published by the
Lincoln National bank the customer is in
formed that "the passbook, while kept by
the customer, is really the property OF the
bank and nothing should be written in
it by the depositor. The custom of some
persons using their bank passbooks as per-
sonal memorandum books causes endless
annoyance and labor to the bookkeeper,
who has to handle large numbers of these
books in short space of time" The ne
cessity for positive instructions of this kind
was demonstrated recently when woman
handed her book to the receiving teller to
have the deposit recorded. 1t was found
that a line had been drawn under the last
figures made by the bank and the amount
figured up, and then came the following
memoranda:
Cook AZ w
Theater tickets. ..s''.'..'''.'''''' w
Cab. ..'.......'..'..''' w
When the bank clerk told the woman
that the book should not DO used for such
purposes, he was informed Indignantly that
it was her book and that she knew how to
keep tally on the bank.-New York Trib'
