Glass Plates That Bend.

It appears that the Chinese have
the art of making pliable glass plates.
They are not solid, but plated from
spun glass and made gorgeous by
brilliant Oriental coloring. The
strangest thing about them is that al
though they are made of glass, one can
bend them backward and forward as
if they We're putty OF pliable clay.
In hearing of these strange plates
one is reminded of story told origi-
nally by Pliny in his Natural History,
and popular during the middle ages!
AS narrated in the "Gesta Romance
rum"-that strange repository of
monkish lore-the tale runs thus:
cit happened that certain artificer
fabricated plate which, being ex.
hibited before the emperor (Tiberius),
he attempted. but Intellectually, to
break it. 1t bent, however,
beneath his efforts, and the
artificer, applying hammer
and working upon the glass as upon
copper, presently restored it to its
level. Tiberius inquired by what arts
this was affected, and theother replied
that it was asecret not to be disclosed.
Immediately he was ordered to the
block, the emperor alleging that if
such an art should be practiced gold
and silver would be reckoned as moth
ing"
The "Gesta Romanorum' pretends
to be nothing but collection of anus.
ing stories and in it Pliny mingled
fact and myths, so that it is hard to
separate them. In this particular
cese, however, it appears that the old
Roman naturalist might have been
telling the truth sitter all. Chicago

A Serviceable Basque.

Marine blue granite cloth is used for
this serviceable basque, the trimming
of wide and narrow braid relieving the
severity of the outline. Three hand.
somely carved pearl buttons placed on
the extension of the right front add
much to the decoration. The mode is
one that is very generally becoming,
and is especially adapted to tailor
made effects. A gore joined to the
right front extends it in double breast
ed fashion, while the seam in the cen
tire insures perfectly fitting adjust
ment. With this gore omitted sin
gle-breasted effect results, and the
basque is simply closed in centre front
with buttons and button holes, as
shown in small outline sketch. A per-
fectly fitting adjustment is rendered
by double bust darts, underarm and
sideback cores, with centre back
seam that ends in q regular coat lap
below the waist line. Coat pleats give
becoming fulness at the lower end of
the side-back seams. The close fitting
collar may close at the front OF at the
shoulder, as desired. the pattern pro-
viding for both styles. The two
scanned sleeves are in latest coat style,
the slight fullness being collected in
gathers at the top, and the wrists are
finished with trimming to correspond

Ideal Costume For Wheeling.

Black cheviot of heavy weight is
the material chosen for the stylish

smoothly in the back by under arm
cores and shoulder seams, the fronts
that lap in double breasted fashion
having slight fullness disposed of in
plaits at the waist line. The added
basque fits smoothly over the hips,
dividing in center front and back. The
fronts are underfaced widely and roll
back in lapels above the bust or from
the waist as desired, meeting the roll
ing collar at the neck by notches.
The skirt is one of the most practi.

A Lutheran University.

The proposed Lutheran University
probably will be built in Chicago, or.
at least, very near that city. The
purpose of the church is to found
an institution on the model of the
foremost foreign universities and to
endow it with at least 50, 200, 900.
The fund will be raised according to
systematic plans already devised. Ac-
cording to recent discussion of the
project, Chicago was selected as the
site of the institution on account of it's
central location. The strongest
Lutheran cities in the country are New
York and Philadelphia, neither of
which was selected, for fear the
Lutheran spirit in the other would be
blighted with jealousy. The univer-
sity is intended to unite all the
Lutherans of the land and, as the
Northwest is largely peopled by
foreigners who are members of the
sect, Chicago was deemed an admir-
able location for the institution. The
honor of originating the idea of
Lutheran university belongs to the
Rev. G. A. Bierdemann, of Utica.

SOMEWHERE.

Somewhere the wind is blowing,
thought as toiled along
In the burning heat Of the noontide,
And the fancy taade me strong;
Yes, somewhere the wind Is blowing,
Though here where gasp and sigh
Not a breath of air is stirring,
Not cloud In the burning sky.
Somewhere the thing we long for
Exists on earth's wide bound,
Somewhere the sun is shining
When Winter nips the ground.
Somewhere the flowers are springing,
Somewhere the corn is brown,
Ard ready unto harvest
70 feed the hungry town.
Somewhere the twilight gathers,
ArNk weary men lay by
The burden of the daytime,
And wrapped in slumber lie.
Somewhere the day is breaking,
The gloom ani darkness flee;
Though storms our bark are tossing,
There's somewhere placid sea.
And thus, thought, It's always,
In this mysterious life.
There's always gladness somewhere
In spite of its pain and strife:
And somewhere the sin and sorrow
OF earth are known no more,
Somewhere our weary spirits
Shall find peaceful shore.
Somewhere the things that try US
Shall all have passed away,
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.
o brother, though the darkness
Around thy soul be cast,
The earth is rolling sunward
And light shall come at last.

latch OF the easement must surely give
way very soon.
In order to stop No. 252 red lam
tern would have to be hung outside
the station, and no time should be lost
in putting it there.
Perhaps the burglar has pals
guarding the building, and if I open
the door shall be overpowered and
the office will be in their hands. That
would never do. They must not know
that any one is here.
Thus argued nervcusly to myself.
Then happy thought struck me. 1
remembered that one of the lantern
brackets wasn't more than two feet
from the front window, which was
close beside me and overlooked the
platform. By lowering the window
at the top I could probably reach it.
Taking advantage of every rush and
sweep of the wind / managed to raise
the shade and open the window with
out making noise likely to alarm my
lawless visitor. Nobody was to be
seen on that side of the place and the
signal was quickly made fast to the
bracket.
In few minutes the freight will
stop opposite the Office and the con-
ductor and engineer will bang on the
door for their orders. I can tell them
my predicament in iiffy and the ras-
cal won't dare to tackle three of us. -
Quite satisfied with this reasoning
I shut the window softly and fixed the
shade so that the lantern might not
be hidden entirely from my view, lest
any one should disturb it.
That done, L returned to the key
and took the order from the des-
patcher. The lamp was too low for
me to see plainly, but it seemed un-
wise to increase the light. AS it was,
things looked much better for me than
they had short time before, and if
all went we'll there was good pros
pect of the county jail having another
inmate.
At any rate, took courage.

Cablegram From Dewey Affects the
Peace Proposition.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l9.-News of a
mixed character came to the navy de-
partment from Admiral Dewey, touch
ing the situation in the Philippines.
The admiral sent two of his warships,
the Charleston and the Concord, some
time ago to the southwark from
Manila to ascertain whether there was
truth in reports that the insurgents
had extended their activity in that
direction. Admiral Dewey cabled as
follows: "Charleston and Concord
arrived to-day from Iloilo. Glass re-
ports that the entire island of Panay
is in possession of insurgents except
Iloilo, which is defended by 900 Span
ish troops. All foreign citizens there
beg for American protection. The
island of Negros has declared indie
pendence and desires American pro-
tectorate." In view of the fact that
under the terms of the protocol the
United States forces cannot advance
to protect the foreign citizens, it is
believed the effect of the situation
will be to hasten action at Paris.

dead. The others were arrested.

It is that there will be change of
