VENETIAN GLASS.
It's Fragile Beauty and Exquisite Col bring Is Unsurpassed by Mod
 ern Art and Workmanship.

Venetian glass owes its extreme thinness and lightness to the want of lead in its composition. All the orna- mental shapes were blown, and owed their beauty to the skillful manipula- tion of the worker, whose delicacy of touch and artistic taste were often a heritage from generations of glass blowing ancestors. The most prized of the Venetian productions was the beautiful ''vitro-di- trina" or lace glass, generally known as filigree. Of this there are two kinds the ''ritorto" and the "reticelli" The former was the less elaborate, and consisted of single tube twisted and given spiral direction, the ground of the vessel be- irg of different color. The 'reticelli' designs were more varied. Some times the twisted tubes were powdered with gold and made vertical horizontal, diagonal or curved; indeed, every variation was given that ingenuity could suggest or fancy devise.
 Aventurine glass was invented by the Venetians, its secret being discov- cred by the accidental dropping of brass or copper filings into a pot of melted glass, which resulted in the diffusion of gold specks or threads throughout the mass. It's name is said to signify adventure, or resulting from chance-a word half Italian, but coined probably for the occasion, to denote the peculiar variety. Marbled or variegated glass was made to re- semble chalcedony, jasper, lapis lazuli and tortise-sheH. There was kind of green and purple which became red by the transmission of light. A frost ed glass which showed an icy coating was made by dipping the vessel when half blown in pounded glass, the par ticles of which readily adhered to the warm mass, which was relocated and wrought into shape. Sometimes pounded glass of different colors was used with fine effect upon the same ob- ject. These, with delicately gilded glass and some ornamented with jewel patterns like those of Damascus, formed the principal kinds of Venetian glass, which was too thin for engrav- ing and could rarely bear enameling = Orlena L. Shackleford, in Woman's Companion.

apon valuable time in order to replen- ssh it.
 Now, where one has basement barn, all this annoyance can largely be avoid ed by simply constructing, as pictured in the cut, large bin CD on the second floor and connecting it with the small feeding one (3) on the basement floor, where the horses and cattle are sup posed to be, by means of the slender spout or chute (2). Not only does this arrangement insure plenty of feed at all times, but by having such a small bin on the feeding floor of the basement, as is shown, more room is afforded, and that, too, where it is most desired h. deed, by possessing two or three of these bins one can have things exceed ingly convenient and up to date, for then all that is required is to drive on to the barn floor with the grain and feed and unload it from the wagon into their respective bins. In this way also a vast amount of hard lifting and val uable time, speaking for the year, can be averted, and surely this is something worthy anyone's consideration.-Fred- erick o. Sibley, in N. '. Tribune.

IS one to answer a question like that? It must be referred to the light of fu- ture events"
 But the expenses of the country must be greater in the future than in the past?"
 T admit" replied Mr. Gage, ''that it looks that way. We are to have greatly enlarged army, and an in- creased navy. Fighting establishments cost money in proportion to their size. The colonial system which we are in- augurating will call for expenditure. It costs more, obviously, to run a large machine than to keep a small one go- ing. These are all undeniabe truths. But you must not ask me to come down to definite figures at this time; I am not ready to give them."
 Apropos of the remarks made by See retary Gage, it is very interesting to note the amounts obtained monthly by the treasury from the various sources of war-tax revenue. Bankers, it seems, contribute about &, 2,900000 every 30 days. Keepers of billiard-rooms, who pay five dollars year for each table, give up $94, 800. Brokers in stock and bonds reHnquish $8o,ooO. Commercial brokers turn into Uncle Sam's coffers $46,0oo custom-house brokers. $1,600, and pawnbrokers. $18,30o Keepers of bowling alleys sacrifice $18,250; cir cuses yield $4,500 for the governments; theaters, museums and concert halls add $9,600 to the revenue, and exhibi- tions otherwise unclassifed are mulcted in 3,650. To these items must be added s2, 300 for the tax on mixed flour and, last but not least, about $6,o00 GOO for documentary and pro- prietary stamps.
 This makes total of $9,178, TOO in monthly gain to the government by the war revenue law, or about $110, ,oOoG00 for year.

Just the Thing for Farmers Who Wish to Save Vnst Amount of
 Hard Lifting.

Economizing of time and labor is not infrequently one of the great secrets of success. This being the case, a feeding bin, such as is represented in the accom- panying illustration, is highly suggest i've for basement barn. There are periods of the year when the farmer is so rushed with work that he can ill af- ford to bestow any attention elsewhere. md yet, generally speaking, it is during these very same periods that the grain supply in the ordinary feeding bins gives out, compelling him to encroaeh
