HOW OLD Is GLASS.

THE oldest specimen Of pure glass bear
ins anything like date is little nodded
ions head, bearing che name Of an Egyp.
sian king Of the eleventh dynasty, in the
slade collection at the British Museum.
That is to say, at a period which may be
moderately placed az more than 1000 years
3. @, glass was not only made, but made
with skill which shows that the art was
nothing new. The invention of glazing
pottery with film of varnish or glass is SO
old that among the fragments which bear
inscriptions of the early Egyptian monar-
chy are beads possibly of the first dynasty.
OF later glass there are numerous examples,
such as bead found at Thebcs, which has
the name of Queen Hatssoo or Hashep, Of
the eighteenth dynasty. OF the same
period ore vases and goblets and many
fragments. 1t cannot be doubted that the
story prepared by Pliny, which assigns the
credit of the invention to the Phoenioians,
is so far true that these adventurous mer-
chants brought specimens to other ooun-
tries from Egypt. DR.. schliemann found
disks of glass in the excavations at Myce-
nae, though Homer does not mention it as
a substance known to him. That the mod
ern art Of the glass blower was known long
before is certain from representations
among the pictures on the walls Of tomb
at Btni Hassan, of the twelfth Egyptian
dynasty; but much older picture, which
probably represented the same manufac-
ture is among the half oblitarated scenes
in chamber of the tomb of Thy at SAX
kara, and dates from the time OF the fifth
dynasty, time SO remote that it is not
possible, in spite Of the assiduous re
searches of many Egyptologers, to give it
Q date in years. -4Aethodist.

Lost Dog Insurance.

A new kind of insurance is that OF
lost, strayed, stolen or impounded
dogs. The dog insurance company
registers the dog to be insured, with Its
full description, and provides tag OF
the insurance company bearing the
number by which 1t is registered, which
tag must be constantly worn, together
with It's city license tag.
The insurance company keeps a man
at each pound to release any dog bear
ing tag OF the company and return 1t
to its owner. This is great conven-
fence to the owners Of valuable pets.
and saves the dogs from contracting
the diseases which are so numerous
and contagious in such place. 1t also
saves both dog and owner much misery
and anxiety, to say nothing OF the ex-
pense and tiresome red tape which are
necessary to release dog from the
pound.
Detectives are regularly employed by
the company to trace any dog the mo-
ment 1t is reported missing.
Every person pledges himself to re-
port to the association any dog which
he finds wandering about apparently
lost and bearing q tag of the company.

"Well, if OATS de case, will de Fo'th o

The lawyer tried to explain, but Sam
was more mixed than before He scratched
his head and went slowly out, but in hall
an hour he returned with face longer

TWO KINDS OF SALTS.

"AH, this Il . sad life |" sd La Povera;
IL often think am like Ne Sorellaccia
Chad sister, and hope to be happier up
there" pointing heavenwardH
"Who was the Sorellaccia ?" asked.
"Have you never heardf It Il one OF
our Pistoiese legends, and I am often com.
forted to think OF it. There were onos two
sisters and O brother The brother became
a friar. one sister also took to the religious
life, and became nun but the other one
married, became mother Of q large family
and had a hard life, like me" sighs the
Povera, kissing the tiny baby on her lap.
"The others used to call her Sorellaccia,
because she made no religious profession"
Once tho brother came TO see her on
Sunday, and found her In her old gown,
doing Homework.
"What!" he cries, fare you not going
to church ?"
"To church 4" she says "Who's to
cook my husbands dinner, and feed the
baby, and mind all the children if 60
awayf"
"But," asked the frate, quite Mortified,
edo you never 60 to mass? ?"
"The last time l went was before the
baby was born, about month since"
"Well," said the frate, ego to day, and
will stay here and mind the house and
Children"
Away went the Sorellncca to mass, and
the frate was driven out of his mind with
the crying children and the troubles Of the
cooking, till, when she came home, he
said,-
THANK heaven, you are back again be-
fore go mad There, sister, if you have
patience to put up with this every day, you
certainly so long way toward earning your
rest in heaven"
Soon after this the frate died and went
to heaven, where st. Peter was so pleased
with him he made him doorkeeper under
himself One day St Peter called out
"Open the doors wide,-as wide as you
can,-for the great saint is coming"
SO the frate flung open the gates OF
heaven, expecting to see bishop or abbess
enter in state but what was his surprise
when his Sorellaccia came in, with beauti
full white robes, and happy smile on her
face, and St. Peter himself made her well
come like queen; for he said: She
mas done her duty in that state of life to
which she was called, in diligence and pa.
tience"
After while st. Peter said again.
"Open the gate"
"Must l open wide ?" asked the frate.
"No; little bit will do; this is not
much Of saint"
But when she came it was the holy sis.
ter, who had always led religious life in
a convent And this set the trate think.
ing that God does not Judge as men do,
and that outward re!g on is not much in
his eyes,

Safety Paper.

A new kind OF safety paper for
banks, &C., is announced. though the
inventors name does not appear. II
Is q foreign idea, one feature of the
invention consisting in printing or
otherwise impressing on the paper en-
ployed a plurality Of sets of lines or
marks, one or more Of which sets are
indelible and the remaining sets DEL
ible; these lines or marks are made so
fine and so closely alternating or rela,
lively disposed that, in ordinary OBJ
servation with the naked eye. no sin-
gle line or mark is distinguishable.
Again, the indelible lines or marks are
made Of color differing from though
Complementary to that Of the delible
lines or marks, so that, owing to their
close juxtaposition. they will convey
the impression of a color differing from
those Of either of the sets Of lines or
marks. Thus, any chemical action
or srasure on such paper would, 1t ia
claimed, be at once discernible, and the
shade made by the two color combi-
nations would be hard to duplicate.

New Uses of Alumni u m.

aluminium has lately found Its way
extensively into vibrating and recipro-
eating machines, both large and small
says the Engineering and Mining
Journal Here the advantageous use
of the metal is entirely matter OF re-
ducing the weight. Probably the best
illustration of the use Of aluminium In
revolving machinery is in using an oil
cup on the driving-wheel OF loco
motive in connection with driving
rod. With the increased speeds that
the roads are now aiming to attain, It
is necessary to increase the diameter
Of the driving-wheels. and consequent.
ly the tendency to break the shank OF
the oil cups materially increases. and
with some of the large engines which
have been built, cups made OF COM
position are frequently broken. These
cups are now, and have been for some
time, successfully cast In aluminium.

OCEAN MYSTERIES.
SECRETS WELL GUARDED BY OLD
FATHER NEPTUNE.

Vessels Which Have Sailed and Never Been
Heard of-The Marie Celeste-An Ameri-
can Brig That Was lowed Into Port But
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When a well-found ship leaves port
and is never afterwards heard from, 1t
Is put down as a mystery of the sea.
When q dead body encased in an un-
identified life-jacket is lifted up by the
sleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that, too, is recorded as
mystery of the deep. The waterlogged
raft with the stump of distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; the
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
cling from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams and
planks floating silently on the white
crests, and in the dark hollows of the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks Of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries OF the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to fanthom them, hopelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun
tains and valleys echo their Secrets
but the cruel old ocean never does.
There are greater secrets in Old
Neptunes care than those Of the miss
ing ship. The Naronic went away and
never came back. So did the City OF
Boston, City of Glasgow, Erin, Alvo,
City Of London, City Of Limerick, Pres
ident, Pacific and a score OF others
Yet the disappearance of these craft
are ordinary mysteries of the sea. A
greater mystery still is when crew
abandons its ship and is never again
heard from, while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
out giving the least trace of those who
had been in charge Of her.
Such a case was that of the Marie
Celeste, and it Is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner"
or the Flying Dutchman" aspired to
DC. u6 uiodpPOoA oASS Va
the Celeste's crew was made the sub
ject of an extensive investigation by
the State Department in Washington,
and 1t Is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was an American
brig of over 400 tons, and early in the
seventies left this port for Villefranche,
in the Mediterranean, Several months
after her departure she was towed into
port as sound as new coin, but her
people, numbering thirteen, including
the wife and child of the skipper, have
not been heard of from that day to this.
The name of the captain of the Marie
Celeste was Benjamin Briggs, and he
hailed from New England. In addition
to the little six-year-old daughter who
shared the fate of the crew, whatever
It was, the captain had boy ten years
old. It had been his habit to take this
boy to sea with him, but on the event.
full trip in which he disappeared from
the face OF the globe, he left his son
behind. The latter has spent a small
fortune in trying to ascertain what
happened to his parents and the other
people of the brig after that vessel was
deserted; he knows as much now OF the
mystery as he did twenty years ago,

CR' osoTE or an overdose OF carbolic
acid is to be met by white OF eggs, milk,
and wheat flour paste.
For poisons of the narcotic kind-such
as opium, aconite beladonna henbane,
digitalis, and tobacco there is not at hand
any antidots. Stimulating emetics, stimu-
lants to the surface, and, if need be, arti-
fetal respiration are indicated. Heavy
draughts of strong coffee help to postpone
the narcotism of opium. Lemonade or
other mild acids are deemed of some SER
vice.
Overdoses of camphor or chloroform are
an indication for alcoholic stimulants. We

Tho Strange But Cir I'd Inhabitants Of New

OF all the islands Of the south seas
New Guinea is in some respects the

have been steadily dying out since tho
advent Of the white man, 1t is an in
tensely interesting bit Of the world.
The natives are gifted with such re-
markable powers that they can see into
distances far beyond the vision Of the
white man; they can track the wild
beast by signs that the white man can
not learn; they can find food and drink
in deserts where white men would per-
