said in a voice still tinged with the
brightness of her dream.

helped her to the ground.
Very happy ones,' she answered,
smiling.
They did not permit her to stay very
long. Barbara was lying still. very
faint and weak from the shock of the
accident and the pain of her leg. She
was worrying and anxious about her
young mistress, and Dorothy fastened
to reassure her.

She stayed to ask few questions of
the nurse, chiefly about what things
Barbara would need. then they drove
quietly back to kensington.
For little way Dorothy was silent.

PLIABLE GLASS PLATES.
Chinese Work Which Makes One of Ole


PIiny's Stories Probable.
From the Strand Magazine: 1t ap-
pears 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, although they are made
OF glass, one can bend them backward
and forward as if they were putty or
pliable clay. In hearing Of these
strange plates one is reminded Of q
story originally by Pliny in his Natural
History, and popular during the mid.
die ages AS narrated in the "Qest2
RomanorUm"-that strange repository
Of monkiSh lore-the tale runs thus:

it. 1t bent, however, beneath his eff
forts. and the artificer, applying a
hammer and working upon the glass
as upon copper, presently restored it
to its level. Tiberius inquired by what

tends to be nothing but collection of
amusing stories, and in it Pliny fact
and myth are so mingled that it is hard
to separate them. In this particular
case, however, it appears that the old
Roman naturalist might have been tell
ing the truth after all.

BLOOD POISONING.
A Nurses Experience.

There are thousands OF people suffering

beggared themselves in buying medicines

found perfect healing. One of these

death, had four large sores or ulcers,

long time, both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but, in
spite of all that could do. the sores would
not heal. They were obstinate, very pain
full, annoying, and only getting worse all
the time. At last, I purchased six bottles
