One Is to have the cars curve right into Sands

This is objectionable. because OF the curve and
the likelihood OF interfering with carriages and

sup rinuendent Martin, is TO bring the tracks out

Glass Houses.

There were whole streets in Tyre en-
tirely occupied by glass works, and it is
stated that the first glass houses were
erected in Tyre. The glass houses of
Alexandria were highly celebrated for
the ingenuity and skill Of their work
men and the extent Of their manufac-
lures.
Layard, in writing about his discov-
cries among the ruins Of Nineveh and
Babylon, says: "In one chamber were
found two entire glass bowls, with frag-
ments of others. These bowls are prob
ably Of the same period as the small
bottle found in the ruins of the north
west palace during the previous excava-
tions, and now in the British museum.
On this highly interesting relic is the
name Of Sargon, with his title of king
of Assyria, in cuneiform characters, and
the figure of lion. We are, therefore,
able to fix its date to the latter part of
the seventh century B. G. 1t is conse-
quently the most ancient known speci-
men of transparent glass. Boston

IRISH MUD CABINS.
How tho Dingy Dwelling Places Are Con-
structed and Furnished.

now The Dingy Dwelling Places Are Con-
structed and Furnished.
The mud cabin i'll Ireland consists Of
two rooms and possibly small semide-
tached clubhouse which is used as % store
room for perishable articles. There is
not chink in the walls or thatch save "A
narrow chimney, which seldom if ever
answers its purpose. The doorway faces
the east and emits the smoke. What lit
tie light penetrates inside through the
tiny window discloses the deep choco-
late stain from the eternal turf reek
which pervades the atmosphere of the
interior, and literally paints walls, roof
and furniture uniform color. The fur
niture is rough and also scanty, few
stools atoning fer the occasional COM
plete absence Of chairs.
The mud floor is always more or less
wet from the patter of the children s
bare feet or from the animals which
have free access to the house. At night
there is a goodly company within the
walls of this spacious mansion. In the
inside room there are two or three box
beds or berths, where the children sleep,
according to their age and sex. From
8 to IL is not an uncommon number
in family. In the state berth in the
calliogh, or recess at the side of the
hearth, the father and mother repose un-
screened from the live stock of the farm
and breathe the same atmosphere as some
eight quadrupeds besides the poultry.
Pigs, cattle, dogs, cats, and probably a
horse or donkey, have their bed space re-
spectively, and jealousy resent any en-
croachment by bedfellow.
Astonishing as it may appear, there
are hardly any disagreeable odors. The
overpowering smell of the peat smoke
evidently acts as complete disinfectant,
and fortunately it is innoxious to the i'll
habitants Of the howell. Equally astonish-
ing is the fact that the whole commu-
nifty is in comparative harmony, and
even the babies rarely cry. There is
plenty of occupation for all the family
who are able and willing to work, the
mother doing little else but nurse the
youngest infant. -Cornhill Magazine.

What Is an Edition?

What is an edition? Does it consist Of
1000 volumes or Of 500 or 30 or 8?
The word is not technical term like
gross" or dozen" or any like express
sion bearing fixed numerical signifi-
canoe, and there is, of course, no reason
why it should not mean anything from
the lowest to the highest Of these num-
bers, according to the taste and fancy,
or it may be the tactics, of the particu-
lar publisher who employs it. Only now
that that enterprising person shows him
self so anxious to keep the public regu-
larly informed as to the sales OF the
works issuing from his house it might
be as we'll to come to some understand
ing ON this point. We know what is
meant when we read that Miss Ahenea
Daring's new novel is Gin its twentieth
thousand" whereas the statement that
it is Gin its forty fifth edition, conveys

A SINFUL WASTE.
B ,od Food Allowed to Decay Feature Of
American Households.

There are few households in the land
but have a periodical recrudescence Of
economy in the matter of food supply.
A big grocer's or butchers bill imme-
diately suggests that there should be
some economy practiced somewhere. ="
The present activity in the field Of
dietetics should spread valuable knowl-
edge into every kitchen. IL is already
showing benefits in the matter of nutri
tious food versus medicine.
Housewives do not always realize that
they have prominent part to play i'll
this grave question Of the day, the "dis-
posal of garbage That responsibility
lies within the domestic threshold, and
to consign the collection of waste to the
scavenger is not the limit Of her power
nor a self satisfying conclusion. What she
consigns does not concern her, and this
"bete noir" found in every part Of the
land, subject fraught with almost in
surmountable difficulties to those whose
business it is TO find a healthful and
quick disposal of garbage, is far more
the business of the housekeeper than she
is willing to acknowledge. We must go
back of the garbage can TO find the cause.
American extravaganza is proverbial the
world over We provide with lavish
hand Unskilled and Indifferent help
waste accordingly. Expenditure for food
in large percentage of the middle and
lower classes is estimated to take very
often fully three-fourths of the income.
Actual consumption and benefit derived
from quantity supplied is notably small
in the wealthier families.
Convincing proof is found in the over
flowing garbage can. Lack of robustness
among a certain class and the amount
Of debility affecting majority OF peo-
pie prove to investigators want of
proper nutriment to build up the over
wrought body, which must endure some
how the strain and stress of American
life and climate.
The unintellgent methods of poor
servants, unskilled in handling food, is
one cause of the effect 1t is considered
their prerogati 70 to waste what does not
suit their fancy. "Leavings" which may
be the best portions from the mistresses'
table are not palatable to their taste, and

WONDERFUL GOLD LEAF.
Tow 1t Is Manufactured and Some OF Its
Peculiarities.


The process by which gold is made
into thin leaves is called gold beating
AS yet the use Of machinery for this
purpose is very limited, nearly all gold
leaf being beaten 10y hand.
First the gold is cast into oblong in
gots about thrce-fourths of an inch in
width and weighing two ounces each.
These ingots Ggc passed between pol
ished steel rollers and 6attened out into
ribbons Of Gbout an eight-hundredth Of
an inch in thickness The ribbons are
softopcd 10y heat and cut into pieces an
inch square
One hundred and fifty of these pieces
are placed between vellum leaves, one
piece above another, and the entire pile
is inc,osed in Il double parchment case
and beaten with l6 pound hammer
until the inch pieces are extended to
inch squares They are then taken from
the case, and each square is cut into
four pieces. The pieces thus obtained
are then placed between gold beater's
slin-a delicate membrane prepared
from the large intestine of the oX-made
into piles, inclosed in parchment case
and again beaten, but with hammer Of
lighter weight.
Still the leaves are not thin enough,
and once more each leaf is cut into four
pieces and again beaten. This last quar-
tering and beating produces 2, 400 leaves,
and the thickness Of each leaf is about
one two-hundred- thousandths of an inch.
Gold is so malleable that it is possible
to obtain still greater degree of thin
ness, but not profitably.
These thin leaves are taken up with
wood pinchers, placed on cushion,
blown out flat and carefully cut into
squares 3 inches in size. The squares
are placed between the leaves of paper
books, which have previously been rub
bed with red chalk to prevent adhesions
of the gold, each paper book containing
% squares or leaves of gold, and in this
form the leaf is sold, not by weight, but
by superficial measure philadelphia

He KEPT LIE CHECK.
THURMAN Green Morris Was Too Cunning
For the Banks.

With so many bank robberies all
around us it is not surprising that there
should be some uneasiness among deposi-
tors. In general, however, the New
Yorker has clear head He has faith in
the Clearing House association, because
he really does not quite understand the
mystery of it, and he believes in his
bank through thick and thin because he
has seen the banks of the city stand to-
gether in support of a weakened institu
ton. l am reminded of what happened
to Green Morris, the turfman, who lived
in Brooklyn and raced horses on all the
tracks of the metropolitan circuit. He
had big year of winnings at Monmouth
park, and received at the end of the sea-
son check from the association for
$67, 900. Eighteen months later he
showed that check to me, considerably
worn.
"Why, Green" said reproachfully,
this check is Is months old. What do
you mean by keeping it so long? 1t is
nearly worn out. Don't you know that
O check should be deposited at once or
cashed? Suppose the bank was to fail?''
Green chuckled knowingly and wink
ed as he folded it up and put it back III
his pocketbook.

no faith in no banks. They's too much

A hit Of BLACK.

Nothing is complete without its bit OF

have taught us and is most valuable,

have strived for. No matter what the
color or material if not pointelle or strip

bands of ribbon or pipings of satin are
used. There are no end of means of deco
ration, and all most effective too. So
universal has this fashion become that
