Paper Bax. For Travellers.

Comfort in travelling is an important consideration, and the newest idea for journey is one worth regarding Dodg- ing railroad cinders and dust is some. thing not to be thought of. When e thoroughly clean railroad trip is possi- ble. the millennium will have arrived, and this period is still. according to all beliefs, long distance of. But, owing to simple thought of practical man, the traveller can now protect his or her hat, which was out of the question be- fore.
 A humble paper bag, obtained from the nearest grocer, is the god of the ma chine. This is folded compactly and slowed away in the pocket Gin the hand bag or purse if the traveller is a woman and is pocketless). Before the cars start the bag is. opened, the hat placed there in, the bag pinned across its mouth and the whole laid in the rack. Thereafter, until the destination is all but reached, the traveller need have no thought of his headgear, for no dust or cinders can reach it. It will be found in the best oi condition upon opening. So simple is this device that it is a wonder it was never thought of before.-New York Herald.

The Antiquity of GIAss.

,d-s has been employed, we know, }nlh for decorative and domestic pur- u,es since the dawn of civilization. ILe earliest remains date from Egypt aCGl B. c. and are preserved in the British museum. It is au amulet, in the form of a liun's head, of opaque blue color. with hieroglyphics that determine its date. On the rock cut tombs of the metropolis of Memphis glass blowers were depicted as early as 3900 B. c. Stories are told by Pliny Josephus and other writers to acconnt for its discov- cry, but these are very doubtful, 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 it 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 to a 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 Phenicians, 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- telly in Womau's Home Companion.

from the New York, Brooklyn and

this morning and examined the bat
teries, the wrecks of the Marrimac

in the harbor and prize crew was
placed upon the latter.
This afternoon the torpedoes were
taken up or exploded, after which the
Red Cross steamer State of Texas en-
tered to give assistance to the sick and
wounded in the city. The warships

transporting the Spanish prisoners to
Spain. Nearly all the American men
of-war are now in Guantanamo Bay.
Commodore Watson's squadron is pre-
