Glass Blowing by Machinery.

For more than a year past some of
the best machinists in the country have
been working in secret to perfect a ma
chine that will blow glass in a way
that would be profitable to fruit jar
manufacturers. The machinists have
been at work in private, and it is now
announced on good authority that the
patent has been so perfectly con-
structed that the work can be done
with it even better than with the blow
pipe in the hands of a skilful blower,
and one machine will do the work of
three blowers, each of whom earns
from 81 to Sc per day, and the ex-
pense of operating it will be less than
half. The machine was made perfect
some time ago. The company is now
building machines for use next sea-
son, and the indications are that when
the hundreds of blowers return for
work September l in Muncie they will
find many places filled by machines

Prince Wore a Necklace of Pearls.

visitors now in England, proved an es'

of well-dressed guests lined the stair.
case and filled the large entrance hall,
overshadowed by palms, to witness the
arrival of the Queens Indian guard,
many of the Hyderabad contingent and
other finely built native soldiers with
a profusion of orders on their breasts.
They were quickly followed by several
of the Princes. Pertab Singh was
clad in a red and gold striped habit,
with a light blue and silver turban, on
which figured a medallion portrait.
His tid-de-camp,, was in red and gold,
divided as a short skirt and long
jacket, with a black and gold turban.
With him was another Indian visitor
in o long white satin coat cut as they
wear them IN the East. Another
Prince was arrayed in white satin with
rows of pearls about his neck; a long
bar of diamonds clasping, notthe lobe,
but the entire ear, and magnificent,
diamond ornaments glittered on his
soft silky yellow turban. A grand old
nawab's coat vas entirely composed Of
cloth of gold, and, with his gray
viii ,kers c~uriously tied and large tur-
ban, he lowered above all the rest.

Draw Patience From Christ.

remember once when 1 felt the need Of 8
great stock Of patience to meet an emergency
that was coming upon me and thought !
would be obliged to pray for a long time in
order to lay up enough. 1 think 1 expected
to have something after the nature of o
package of patience, done up and labeled
Patience and deposited in my heart. It
was one night, and 1 was preparing myself
to pray all night long in order to lay in a
good supply, when suddenly this
verse flashed into my mind: who
Of God is made unto us wisdom and right
eousness, and specification, and re-
demption." Yes" 1 added with a sudden
illumination, land patience too" l do not
need to lay up a stock Of patience all the
patience I need is stored up for me in
Christ, and 1 have only to draw my supplies
momeDtarily from Him." I rose from my
knees at once. and thanked the Lord before
hand for the unlimited supply Of patience
that was mine in Christ. And I need not
say that 1 found grace Tin the form Of patti
ence)to help in every time ofneed. Hannah

Turning the Weeds to Good Use.

Summer heat, when it comes, starts
a numerous and enterprising crop OF
weeds into active life. These may
be easily controlled by frequent use of
the iron rake, which stiles them at
birth. But if, through inattention,
they get the start of the gardener and
need to be reduced by the hoe, they
should be attacked vigorously at the
first chance, and not allowed to per-
feet and drop their seed into the soil.
Pull up and shake the larger onesw when
not so neal as to endanger valuable
plants thereby, and hoe up all others,
not merely scraping the ground over,
but breaking it up and pulverizing it
while roofing out the weeds. These
may then, while still green and sue
culent, be raked together and put into
the compost heap, where they will be
obliged to return to the gardener all
that they have ~purloined from the soil
This compost heat may, by a little
care, be made quite an important fac
tor in the fertility of the garden. Not
only all weeds, but, as crops mature,
all the garden refuse not used for
m~ulching other plants, may be put in
to it wet thoroughly and covered with
a little earth, and thus rotted down
and retained for use as so much home
made fertilizer. It should be estab-
lished in some out-of-the-way corner;
a hole dug a few feet deep to
accommodate it will be found con-
venient, and the contents drenched
with the hose from time to time to
promote decomposition, after which a
few shovelfuls of earth will delay eva
poration and help retain the gases.
When used the addition of wood ashes
and bone dust of course makes it by
so much the richer. Boston Evening
