The Antiquity of Glass.

Glass has been employed, we know,
both for decorative and domestic pur-
poses since the dawn Of civilization
The earliest remains date from Egypt
B064 B. @. and are preserved in the
British museum. 1t is an amulet, in the
form Of a lions head, of Opaque blue
color, with hieroglyphics that determine
It's date. On the rock cut tombs of the
hecropolis of Memphis glass blowers
were depicted as early as 5000 B. Q.
Stories are told by Pliny, Josephus and
Hther writer's TO account for its discov-
Fry, but these are very oubtful, so that
we have only to rely upon facts attested
by actual remains
The discovery was doubtless fortui-
tous. Such lucky finds are often the
work of chance. When il occurred we
cannot determine; but, so far as we
know, Egypt, as she was the germ of
all civilization, was also the mother of
this art, which she applied 30 2, multi
tude Of purposes, strangely excepting
that which we deem most necessary
namely, to admit light into buildings.
The dwellers by the Nile handed
down the art TO the Ph9nicians, who
in like manner bequeathed it to the As
syrians Then it was passed along to
the Persians and the Greeks, then to
the Romans and the Byzantines, who
in turn communicated it to the Vene-
tians. The monks Of the middle ages
appropriated it TO beautify their Gothic
temples, and so it came down the centu-
ries to modern times. Frank H. Vize-

THE RICH RUSSIAN.
He Has 2 Weakness For an Army CT Fam
lily Servants.

We were family Of S, occasionally
of 10 or u says Prince Kropotkin in
The Atlantic, but 80 servants at Mos
COW, and half as many more in the
country, were considered not one too
many. Four cOachmen TO attend dozen
horses, three cooks for the masters and
two more for the servants, a dozen men
TO wait upon Us at dinner time-one
man, plate in hand, standing behind
each person seated at the table-and
girls innumerable in the maidservants'
room, but how could any one do with
less than this?
Besides, the ambition Of every landed
proprietor was that everything required
for his household should be made at
home by his Gown" men,
'How nicely your piano is always
tuned. suppose Herr Schimmel must
be your tuner?" one of the visitors
would remark.
To be able to answer, 81 have my
own piano tuner, " was in those times
the correct thing.
"What beautiful pastryr' the guests
would exclaim when a work Of art.
composed Of ices and pastry, appeared
toward the end Of the dinner. Confess,
prince, that it comes from Tremble"
(the fashionable pastry cook.
''It is my own confectioner, a pupil
of Tremble, whom 1 have allowed to
show what he can do, was the reply
which elected general admiration.
To have embroideries, harnesses, fur
niture-in fact everything-made by
ones "Own" men was the ideal of the
rich and respected landed proprietor.

Butterflies Sit For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.

By means of a large number of OBJ
servations Mr. J. w Tut is able TO
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted TO drink.
In paper published in the proceed
fngs" Of the South London Entomolog-
ical and Natural History society Mr..
Tut says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than is required
BY their tissues under any possible con-
aitions. He has known Polyommatus
damon TO sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
Of sucking up and dischaEging the
moisture almost continuously.
What this internal bath may really
mean cannot be surmised. Another i'm
portant factor as TO this drinking habit
is strange one. the Thirsty souls, :"
as far as his observation goes, being al
most entirely males Possibly if exact
observations could be made il might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams
for drinking purposes, but as far as Mr.
Tut has been able to discover it is the
males alone who indulge il these copi-
Gus hbations, while the females are
aw2y laying eggs Moths and butter
flies of both sexes visit sugar, Overripe
fruit and similar dainties, but they do
so for food. The males alone seem to be
attracted by pure water, and Mr.. Tutt
suggests that, their extra activity hav-
ing originally given them greater need
In this direction, habit which was at
first a necessity has become so pleasur-
able that excessive drinking has literal
ly become a vice.

Both Eyes to Business.

He was typical street gamin, with
a blacking kit slung over his shoulder,
and as he walked boldly into the store
Of a Wabash avenue optician his head
scarcely reached the top of the counter
"Say," he asked of an elderly gen.
tleman at the desk, "are youse de guy
wot runs dis joint?"

ply. "What can do for you, my boy?"
"Den I've got one O. dem resserpros-

"Not exactly" replied the optician.

rive from such an arrangement.

Bismarck as DIR. JekylI.

No greater contrast could possibly be
imagined than that which existed be-
tween the Bismarck of private life and
the Bismarck of politics. "In the home
circle" writes a correspondent who
knew him we'll. she was perfectly
charming, easy going and good natured.
He was passionately fond of children,
and have seen him over and over again
have a game with the little ones of his
gardener, who were very familiar with
him and would not hesitate to climb
upon his knee.
"Once when his gardeners little girl
died the great statesman went to con-
dole with him. He was dreadfully up
set and while holding the poor father S
hand burst into tears, for he was very
fond of the child. He kissed the little
corpse and himself placed a bunch of
roses in its hand. He was always eager
to assist his poorer neighbors and en-
joyed chatting with them ON all sub
jects but politics. These he never men.

Swenson Obeyed Instructions.

1t was in an aristocratic Hyde Park
home. The we'll trained English butler
had left, and the newly engaged man, a
Swede, was in process of breaking in.
Callers came, and he took the cards to
his mistress in his ungloved hands,
leaving the silver card tray resting
quietly in the hall.
"When you bring things in here,
Swenson, said she, "use the tray. 1t
is not proper to bring them in your
hands.
"Yaas," he replied.
Mrs. H. Park had new toy terrier.
The guests wished TO see it, and she sent
for Swenson to fetch it.
Soon there was a succession Of STAG
cato yelps and whines. The door open
ed, a very red faced Swenson appeared
with the silver tray in his left hand and
a tiny dog terrier held firmly down on
it with the other-London Globe.

The Anvil Bird.

At dusk in the wiIds Of the gloomy
Brazilian forest you will think it
strange to hear the clink of hammer
on an anvil You would imagine that
you were approaching some settlement,
and the picture of the ruddy glow of
the forge would come up before your
eyes.
But if your guide were a native, he
would tell you that the sound was made
by a campanero, as they call it, al
though to foreigners it is known as the
anvil bird.
This bird is a little larger than a
thrush. The plumage is perfectly white,
the eyes are pale gray color, and the
naked throat and skin around the eyes
are of a fine bright green, while its
more nOrtherly relative is orange and
black. very much like our oriole.
1t is generally in the early part of the
day that the campanero sends forth the
wonderful note that can be heard at a
distance Of three miles. Marvelous in
deed must be the mechanism of the vO-
cal organs of so small bird to produce
so farreaching a note, but there is nc
doubt Of the fact, for many travellers
have heard the strange sound uttered
by the bird when perched on the top
most branch Of some withered tree.

The Professors Wisdom.

The stern professor of the feminine
preparatory school sat at his desk try
ing to unravel a knotty problem when
a fluffy haired miss of Is approached.
"Please, SIR" she began in a tremu-
lous voice, will you grant me permits
sion to 60 out riding with my brother
this afternoon?'
Now, the old man had not forgotten
the days of his youth, neither was he a
fool, and looking over his spectacles he
slowly said:
$50 you want to go riding with your
brother, do you? By the way, is this
brother of yours any relation to you?"

MUSIC FROM HEAVEN.
Charming German Method of Summoning
Church WOrshipers.

Church Worshipers.
While religious music will doubtless
live as long as religion itself there is
one branch of tiff music it can be
called-which is luckily becoming OBJ
solete. | refer to bells and chimes |
shall never forget the look of distress
with which famous organist once said
to me that whenever he heard a set of
chimes he wished he could put his ears
in his pocket.
In these days of 81 nickel watches
bells are no longer needed to inform
people when the service begins. They
are, moreover, a decided nuisance, and
often dangerous one, for they have
killed many invalids whose life depend
ed upon a few hours sleep, which the
bells murdered. In New York bell ring
ing has been frequently stopped on &C
count of complaints to the board of
health.
If it seems desirable to have a means
of summoning worshipers to church,
why not adopt the delightful old custom
that is still observed in some south Ger
man villages and in the city of Stutt-
CART? There four trombone players as
cend a church tower three times a day
and play a solemn chorale.
In all my musical experience 1 have
never heard anything more thrilling
than those majestic harmonies in the
air, which seemed to come straight
from heaven. If our churches would
adopt this custom and these celestial
sounds became associated with religious
experiences, they might arouse the dor
mant devotion of many one who other
wise would pass the church door BY

A Scotsman Who Ruled Russia.

Although not generally known, it is
matter of history that an alien, a
Scotsman, once held the reins of gov
ernment III Russia, and to him that
country owes her civilization, govern
ment and present position among the
nations. Patrick Gordon was born in
Auchleuchries, Aberdeenshire, March
81, 1886. His father was of the Haddo
branch of the Gordons, and his mother
was an Ogilvie. He went to seek his
fortune in Russia and became a soldier
of great bravery in the Russian army
in the time of Alexis / and had now
attained the rank of colonel By his
bravery and success he gained the love
of the army and the esteem of the whole
nation and had under his control IL, 900
newly formed soldiery, who were un-
der foreign officers in the town of Mos
COW. Gordon himself had the czar's g
command not to leave the capital, but
his authority extended over all provinces
except those IN which the southern army
were engaged under General Shein, yet
the latter had express orders from the
czar not to undertake anything of mo-
ment with General Gordon's advice

The Editors Protest.

The editor of The Clarion was a very
patient man. A startling crash from
the direction of the composing room
caused him to push his spectacles upon
his brow and cease writing. When he
found that the boy had let the first page
form fall on the floor, where it lay in
an incoherent mass, he shook his head
reproachfully and exclaimed:
"Lemuel, do wish that you could
manage to break the news more gently"
