Visions on the Window Pane.


There arr towers and minaretn. cupolas far
-. That sparkle and CLEAN in the frosty air;
There are crystal palaces good to see
In thai beautiful world on the window name.
There are fairy palms with delica,e SPRAYS
There are shrubs and blooms on the crisDy WAYS
There are myriaas of boughs and ferny fronds
In the beautiful world on the window pane.
There streams and cascades so limpld and cold.
The rivers flow there, over beds of gold;
There are slvery fountains of lucid sheen
In that beautiful world on the window pane.
But The sun peeps out and the rain. drops play
and my visions of beauty-where are they:
Dispersed and scattered and leaving no trace
OF that beautiful world on the window pane
May the fabric we build rs the yeals pass by
Point minaret.ke TO the azure sky;
May our lives be pure as the fountains foam
In that beautiful world on the window pane.
May our aims for good be real-not dreams
So adversely g rains or enlth's bright beams

Like those drops and rayson the window.pane
And unlike those phantom forms on the glass,
May the inlprins we make not easily pass:
Let our deeds be solid not transient and 1rail

Grape Culture.

The town of Portland on Lake Erie
is six miles square, and according to
Grape Belt, published at Dunkirk on
Lake Eric. more grapes are grown
in it's northern part than in any equal
area Of land il the world. Not merely
vineyards are here to be seen, butt
entire farms planted with vines, and
now loaded with their luscious fruit.
Messrs. Dean have model vineyard,
embracing 100 acres all producing
grapes. The town last year shipped
1000 cars of grapes. The private res
licences OF these grape-growing farm
ers show that the business is paying
one though prices the last year or two
have been too low to give the profits
that werc formerly obtained. A great
many % the grapes grown are Con-
cords. though where the Worden,
which is on earlier ard better grape is
substituted it Is often sold as Concord.

young student in the Quarter Latin
Paris. he came to the end of the slight
resources left by his parents and was
almost on me verge Of starving. In
a momen, of hilarity he stole a kiss
from a pretty pair of lips he met in
the street and was quickly called to
account by the offended girl. When he
made his appearance in court the pre-
siding Judge asked him If he was rel

advocate of the COS.

After inf1icting a small fine the judge
asked the young man to call on him in

Young artists father had been the
Judges dearest friend and ADVISER
many years earlier, and the Judge,
who was a bachelor, was delighted to
be in a position to assist his son. He
bought many OF the artists pictures
and introduced him to several wealthy
art patrons, so that fame and fortune
came quickly.

Either plain glass or bevelled glass

For one use and another glass in

The number of moulds required Tor
current use in a glass bending estab-
lishment is large. and the accumulat-
ed moulds number thousands.
Glass is bent in kiln. Glass melts
at 2,3O0 de-; the heat employed In
bending is 1,S00de. No pyrometer
would stand long in that heat; II might
last an hour, but 1t would not last
day. and so the heat Of the kiln Is
Judged from the color Of the fame and
other indications. BY long experience
and observation the expert glass bend
err is enabled to estimate the heat IN
this manner with accuracy. Smaller
pieces OF glass are put into the moulds
in the kilns with forks made for the
purpose The great moulds used for
bending large sheets of glass are
mounted on cars, so that they can be
rolled In and out Of the kilns. The
glass is laid upon the top Of the mould
over the cavity and it is bent by Its
own weight. AS it is softened by the
heat it sinks into the mould and so lie
bent into forms. 1t may take an hour
or two to bend the glass, which is then
left in the kiln from twenty-four to-
thirty-six hours 10 anneal and cool
Glass to be bent, or whatever kind or
size II may be, is put into the kilns in
it's finished state: the great heat &c
which It is subjected does not disturb
the polished surface. Despite the eXer-
else of every precaution more or less
glass is broken in bending it. Bent
glass costs about so per cent. more
than fiat.
While the use of bent glass has in
creased very greatly in recent years
and is still increasing, and the amount
used is in the aggregate considerable
vet as compared with the enormous
amount of glass used in ordinary forms
the amount of bent glass used is o
course, very small. There are four o.
