MONUMENTS OF GLAss.-A company
of glass workers have recently discov-
cred that ordinary plate glass will
make a more durable monument than
the hardest marble or granite, for glass
is practically indestructible. Wind,
rain, heat or cold will eventually crum-
BILE the hardest rock, and one can
seldom read the inscription on a grave
stone so years old, but a glass monu-
ment will look as fresh after the elapse
of centuries as on the day of its erec-

used to glaze the port holes of steamers
will resist the stormiest sea and is

CHEAP WHEELs.-A cycling author
ity says that one of the greatest factors
in the continued growth of the num-
ber of devotees to the sport is the low
priced wheel. The makers of strictly
high grade wheels, who value their
products at anywhere from $50 to
$125, with 800 as the almost univer-
sal price, are doing more business than
ever, and do not appear to be affected
by the competition of cheaper machines
which can be bought at almost any
price from the recognized standard all
the way down to s17, which is about
as low point as has yet been reached.
These cheaper machines, particularly
those of medium grade, which are the
most salable, have made it possible for
thousands to ride who because of the
cost or lack of interest would not have
started had it been necessary to buy at
the long established price.

WHY HE WAS DEFEATED.

Hannibal Hamlin, the "war" vice
president, possessed keen wit and a
merry, fun-loving nature. The fol-
lowing anecdote, found in the "Lives
of Twelve Illustrious Men," is one
which Mr.. Hamlin took great pleas
ure in narrating. 1t generally hap,
pens, as in this case, that when man
amuses himself at the expense Of an
other, the punishment follows closely
upon the offence.
When Hamlin was speaker of the
Maine house of representatives-aWay
back in the "forties"- There was in
that body certain gentleman of fault.
less attire, pleasing manners, good
address and some reputation. But
he had one foible: his hair was very
thin, and he was highly sensitive in re-
gard to it.
To hide his approaching badness he
had habit of carefully stroking with
bandoline or other preparation each
particular hair in its place. One day
while in the chair as speaker, Mr.
Hamlin, in the innocence of good
and joke-loving nature, sent for this
gentleman, and looking fxedly at his
smooth and polished pate, said with 8
chuckle:
"Blank, old fellow, just wanted to
tell you that you've got one of the
hairs of YOUR head crossed over the
other"
"You insult me, sir you insult
me-" replied the member, with un'
expected and altogether unnecessary
indignation and then refusing to lis
ten either to reason or explanation, ne
left the speakers desk and returned
to his seat.
When Mr.. Hamlin became candi'
date for United States senate this gen
tlemen was q member of the upper
house of the Maine legislature. AL
though a member of the same party
and only one more vote was needed to
secure Mr.. Hamlin's election, he posi-
lively refused to vote for the man by
whom he believed he had been insult
ed.
He was defeated for a seat in the
senate-by hair. But when the nex'
vacancy occurred he was elected.
