How Glass Is SoIdered.

Margot, in some interesting investi-
cations in soldering glass, has estab-
lished the fact that an alloy composed
of 95 parts of tin and five parts of zinc
will melt at about 392 degrees Fahren-
heit. Becoming firmly adhered TO the
glass, it is unalterable and exhibits an
attractive luster. An alloy containing
90 parts of tin and ten parts of alumni
ium, will melt at 500 degrees Fahren-
heit and also forms a strong and bril-
liant soldier for glass. With these two
alloys always ready to hand, glass may
be soldered as easily as two pieces of
metal. When the glass is heated in a
furnace the soldering can be accom-
plished by rubbing the surface with a
rod of either of the compositions
named. The alloy as it flows can be
evenly distributed with a soldering
iron

GERMS IN STORE DUST.
Chicago MicroscOpist Points Ont the
Danger of Throwing SwcePings
Into the Streets.

Recently an analysis of a common
sample of street sweepings was made
by DR.. b. L. Riese, the microscopic,
with results of terrifying sort. DR..
Riese says he was coming down to his
Office in the morning, and as he passed
u State street store where man was
sweeping the dirt from the store into
the street the dust raised by the broom
and the wind flew in his face. A news
paper he was carrying in his hand
caught some of it. He carried the dust
to his Office and placed 1t under the
microscope to see if it contained dis
ease germs.
''To my horror and disgust 1 discov-
cred the germs of tuberculosis in this
sample of the dust that was swept into
my face" said DR.. Riese. Not only
was the bacillus of tuberculosis, the
consumption microbe, present, but 1
found there also pus germs, These
latter microbes are the ones that pro-
duce blood poisoning.
"The tubercle bacilli will live for
weeks on the floor of store or other
place where the sun does not shine di-
rectly on it. When it is swept into the
air of the street, to be breathed by per-
sons passing, it produces infection.
Even the strongest man, when infected
in this way, day after day, will become
inoculated with tuberculosis. The per-
son who walks the streets of Chicago to-
day is wantonly exposed to that most
terrible scourge of the human race, tu-
berculosis, and all through the care
lessness of the storekeepers.
"An eminent authority says that
every year 900 persons in the Unit
cd States die of tuberculosis. The sta
tistics of 1890 showed that in that year
100000 died of the dread disease. One
person in every 60 In the United
States is infected by it. In Berlin store
keepers are not allowed to sweep the
dust from their stores into the street,
and all other outdoor sweeping is done
at an early hour of the morning. In
Chicago the merchants not only sweep
this poison into the street, but do it
at time when many persons are pass
ing to be infected. Dust is the worst
and most dangerous of the easily avoid
able sources of infection in Chicago to-
day."-Chicago Tribune.

Queer English M,yons.

A story is told of former mayor OF
birmingham, England, that he gave Or
ders to have his robes of office lined
with ''vermin." When the late Alder
man Surge was mayor he received a
royal command to dine and sleep at
Windsor. This, of course, meant court
dress and sword. The court dress was
reluctantly submitted to, but as mem
ber of the Society of Friends, and,
moreover, one who had greatly dis
tinguished himself in the cause of
peace, for he had formed one of the
peace deputation to the ear before the
outbreak of the Crimean war, Mr..
Surge would not consent to wear a
lethal weapon. a compromise was
happily effected. A scabbard and hilt
of the usual kind were at his worship's
side when the presentation to royalty
took place, but the sword was a mere
lath of wood. Fortunately, the worthy
Quaker was not called upon to draw in
defense of his sovereign.-Cleveland

his ONE AMBITION.
The Foremost Positions in Life Had
No Attractions for His
Jimlets.

The pinkest checked and prettiest
girl in the Pine mountain school was
Mandy Martin, and the biggest and
awkwardest boy was James X. Polk
Garvin. Jim, as he was popularly
known, was II years old, and came OF
a somewhat more ambitious family
than were the families of most of his
schoolmates, as his father was con
stable, and had at one time been as.
SCISSOR and road supervisor. For some
reason the boy had fallen into the sulks
and for a month the teacher had been
able to do so little with him that, as a
last resort, she had sent him down
to the lumber company's store for me
to talk to him.
"Well, James," I said, in my kindli-
est manner, after giving him chew OF
fine-cut tobacco, which he greatly ad.
;mired, 81 am sorry to see boy OF
your ability acting as you have been
doing lately, neglecting your studies
and proving burden to your teacher
instead of help. You've got the max
ing of a good man in you, and some
day you may be constable, as your IA
,ther is"
81 don't wanter be no constable" he
answered, keeping his eyes on knot
hole in the floor that he was trying to
jab his toe into.
was rather glad to find he was more
hopefully.
Possibly you may be sheriff. who
knows?" 1 suggested.
81 don't wanter be no sheriff,
neither"
"No? Well. there's no reason, if you
will study hard and be a good boy, why
you shouldn't be the county judge some
day"
Il don't wanter be no judge" he said,
as if judgeship were very common
thing.
"Who knows, James," I went on,
encouragingly. "but that some day you
will be our congressman and go to
Washington"
81 don't wanter be no congressman,
neither"
'That isn't your only chance, my
boy" continued, thinking he was
even more ambitious than 1 had sus-
pected; you may be governor of the
state"
II don't wanter be no gov'ner," he
said, quite as sull1y as ever.
There weren't many more rises that
could offer, but l concluded to try the
best had.
"Then look to the presidency,
James" ventured. "Men have become
presidents who have had no better
start than you have. You may be presi-
dent, but you will have to study and
do better than you are doing now"
II don't wanter be no president" he
replied even more doggedly than be-
fore, if that were possible.
1 was at the end of my string and be-
gan to think that possibly we had an
embryo Napoleon in our midst.
"Well," said, somewhat annoyed
and perplexed, 'if you don't want to be
president, what do you want?"
He jabbed his toe at the knot hole
more desperately than ever and hung
his head lower.
IL" he hesitated, 81 wanter be
Mandy Martins best feller, er 1 don't
wanter be nothin'."
That put the case out of my jurisdic-
ton and sent James back to the teach
er and made my report later.-Wash-
ington Star.

Laughter us n Cnre-AII.

1t is an Italian doctor who specially
recommends laughter as a cure for
modern ills. The diseases influenced
by hearty laugh are numerous, and
range from bronchitis to anaemia. 1t
will be interesting to see how the treat
ment is effected. Our medical contem-
porary suggests that there is a
great opening for professional gelo-
totherapeutists - the very name
makes one smile-who should study
various ways of inducing laughter. a
course of tickling is prescribed for
bronchitis, for example; course of
farcical comedies might suit an amaze
mic patient; while puns, fired at in
tervals, would be found efficacious in
cases of pleurisy.

AT THE STiLE.

Adown the grG ssy lane she came
And loitered at the stile-
Her grandmamma did just the same
There many years erstwhile)-
The sole stile hereabout, | wis,
For now are walls to climb;
Yet such goodly style as this,
Why did it change with time?
No satin slippers then she wore.,
No green calash, no shawl,
No fichu primly crossed before,
No powdered wig at all;
Yet still she dimpled on the stile
As grandma did, they say;
Tho styles may change, maiden's smile
Is just as sweet to-day.
Then Marjorie looked up at me,
And looked down at her,
The while upon the stile sat we
AS once her grandfolks were.
And then l spoke their old, old phrase
And named a sweet, fond name
Tho stiles have changed since ancient
days,
One style remains the same!

AT HAMPTON COURT.
Some of the Numerous Curious Dis
cOveries That Have Been Re.
Gently Made There.

Hampton Court palace is continually
yielding up hidden treasures of artistic
and antiquarian interest, and consider
ing the wonderful intricacies of VOL
sey's huge chateau it is not surprising
that every now and again finds" of
great historical value are brought to
light. Some time ago the great cardi-
nails private room was disclosed to
public view, and now comes the an
nouncement of an extraordinary dis
covery of what may prove to be an ar
tistic treasure. A large number of the
pictures there are in course of removal,
in order to adorn the walls of Kensing-
ton palace, which is to be opened to the
public about May. Underneath the
canvas and paper with which the walls
were covered was what appeared to be
painting.
Subsequent careful examination
showed that three sides of a room,
which measure Al feet by "a feet, were
adorned with very fine paintings, in a
very fair state of preservation, but dis
figured by hundreds of holes, caused by
the nails which had been driven into
the walls to hang the pictures. The
ceiling of this apartment is painted by
Verrio, and represents Queen Anne in
the character of justice. Whether the
paintings on the walls are by the same
artist has not transpired, but it is prob
able that they are. 1t has been decided
to fill up the holes with suitable ma
terial and to engage the services OF a
well-known artist to repair the paint
ings and as far as possible to restore
them to their original condition. This
work will not be completed for many
months, and in the meantime the pub
lie will be excluded from this depart
ment-London News.

And frames and handle bars and laughed
At stupid cycle jokes
used to pump her tires up
And clean her chain, and she
Would render ample payment in
Sweet smiles bestowed on me.
