GLASS Cutting.

The layman who is introduced to the
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
time is amazed at the amount of work
that the workman does entirely by his
eye. The first stage of the bowl which
is to be cut finds it in perfectly plain
condition, not scratch upon it and
only half dozen OF more marks in red
chalk, which mean absolutely nothing
to the Impractical eye. But to the
workman they mean the whole pattern.
Perhapr the dish is a salad bowl. The
marks in chalk will run from the edge,
five intervals apart, down to the center
of the bowl at the bottom. In one Of
the divisions of the bowl thus marked
there may be little further marking
in the shape perhaps of diamond.
This indicates the pattern into which
the bowl is to be cut, and it will be re-
peated in each of the five divisions. All
the intricacies OF the design the work
man has in his head, and they develop
on the glass in a way which seems to
the locker on absolutely marvellous
New York Times.

John Churton Collins, the distin-

Shakespeare time. The typical theater
then was Of wood, circular or hexago-
nal in form, being modelled externally on
the general structure of the old amphi-
theaters for bull and bear batting. The
interior was fashioned after the manner
of an inn yard. The pit was scorched
by the sun, while the actors were pro-
tected by matched penthouse The
scenery was supplied by the imagina-
tion Of the audience, but what was
lacking in scenery was made up in noise
and hustle, things being kept very live
ly in that direction. The most numer-
ous class among the audience were roist-
ering prentices.
On the stage and in other parts were
fashionable dandies, swashbucklers,
writers and actors. These, il is inter-
esting to know, always had free pass

smells which accompanied the perform
ance, one was, Mr. Collins presumed,
not sorry when "the actors dropped on
their knees to pray for the queen.
