The Contradictional Instinct.

There was a look of great disappoint-
ment on the face of the boy who was
coming out of the front gate. His broth
er, slightly younger, but with very
aggressive and tenacious disposition,
was conspicuously tattered. His gar.
ments bore the marks Of a conflict, but
his face showed no signs of remorse.
"Come on in the house, said the
older boy.
"What for? I'm waiting for that 9TH
er Spanish boy to come out. "
"Well, it's no use. We've made
mistake, and we've got to apologize.
ITO those two Spaniards?'
They're not Spaniards. They only
look like Spaniards. They're Portu-
guese. "
"Portu-what?"
Portuguese.
"No they're not. I'll take your word
for it about their not being Spaniards, .
he added reluctantly, "but they're toe
little for Portuguese, and, what's more
they never will be Portuguese. They re
nothing but Portugoslings now, anc
when they grow up they'll be Portu

naked as they were born, shrieking in
drunken frenzy. On the Oquendo and

death as for a wedding, putting on
their finest clothing. The Oquendo's
captain ordered all the oil that could be
obtained to be brought on deck. He
flooded his cabin with 1t. He had 1t
poured over the decks, which were run

he shot himself rather than to become

Davies said that mines were being

TRANSFERRING PICTURES.
II You Wish to Reprint Them on Glass
Here's the Recipe.


Prints or Autographs may be trans
ferred to glass by very simple process.
The glass is cleaned with alcohol and
polisher then coated with fine dam
mar varnish, laid on very evenly.
1t is then put away in place where
there is no dust, where it is to remain
until it is so sticky that when touched
with the finger the glass, if a small
plate. may be lifted by the adhesion.
The picture to be transferred must be
soaked in rainwater until it is complete
ly saturated then placed between sheets
of blotting paper and gently pressed.
This removes all superfuous water.
Now put the picture face down upon
the sticky side of the glass.
The utmost care is necessary in plac-
ing it, as once it touches it cannot be
moved without danger of tearing out
pieces of the print.
When it is adjusted, begin at one
corner and press the picture closely
upon the adhesive surface, watching 1t
continually to see that no air bubbles
appear between the picture and the var
nished surface.
When this is finished, put the picture
away again, let it remain until quite
dry, then lay wet towel over the back
Of the picture until the paper is thor
oughly soaked.
Now begin at one corner, and with
the fingers, frequently dipped in water
so that they will remain wet, rub of
the white paper.
Continue this until all of the white
portion is removed This will leave only
the color of the picture upon the glass.
At the finish give the back rather
heavy coat of transparent varnish.
| Let it dry thoroughly and add yer,
thin second coat.
When this is perfectly dry, frame tn
picture with very thin glass over tn
vanished side Hang in the window a
transparency.
A few attempts may be necessary be
fore expert handling is acquired, bu
perseverance will bring success, an
with care and little ingenuity YER
many beautiful pictures may be prepaI
ed at the most trifling expense. -Phila
delphia Press.
