FACTS ABOUT GLASS.

Attention vas recently called to the
proposed use of glass brick in building.
The most ancient glass has necessari-
~ the same component parts as that
of to-day and the processes used seem
to have been similar in all times.
From England comes the suggestion
that glass would be better and more
lasting material than stone for making
monuments which are exposed to the
wearing action of the weather.
II is now said that the government of
Switzerland has approved the use of
glass for making weights to be en-
ployed with balance scales. A pecul-
iarly tough kind Of glass is to be Sc
lected for that purpose.
4 change from old methods is that
of fashioning glass by machine pressure
instead of molding by blowing. In the
pressed glass the articles are either
made by hand or machine pressure, and
this innovation has done much toward
making glass articles much cheaper
than formerly.
No industry except that of cloth
manufacture has contributed so much
to the comfort and advancement Of
man as that Of glassmaking, which is
one of the oldest of technical industries.
its earliest home was Egypt. The Brit
ish museum has a lions head of glass
bearing hieroglyphies fixing the date
at 2,400 years before Christ.

TO STOP THE GROWTH OF HORNS.


For stopping the growth of horns
on calves this mixture has been sue
cessfully used in experiments con-
Quoted by the United States depart
ment of agriculture bureau of animal
industry, says the Jersey Hustler:
Take 80 parts OF caustic soda, 25 parts
Of kerosene oil and % parts of water.
An emulsion is made of the oil and
soda by heating and vigorously stir
ring, and this is then dissolved In
water. The mixture should be placed
in a bottle with IA solid rubber cork.
The calves should not be over three
weeks old, from five to twenty days
being the proper age. A horn will
sometimes be killed that is even from
four to six weeks old, but 1t cannot
be depended upon with certainty. In
applying the solution the following
directions should be observed: With
a pair of scissors clip the hair around
the embryo horn so as TO expose a
spot about the size of a nickel. While
an assistant holds the calf securely,
drop two or three drops of the mix
ture on the horn and with the end of
the rubber cork rub it thoroughly
over the bare spot. Apply the fluid
first to one horn, then the other, I'M
til each has received three or four APP
plications. The rubbing should be

FOR MY LADY.

Several shades of one color are to be
worn on evening dresses.
A curious novelty originating in
Paris is a striped cloth gown with
checked sleeves.
Velvet or cloth applique upon cloth
are to be the idols of the coming sea-
son and il is rumored that ~lounces
upon the skirts and capes are to go.
There are two shades recognized by
authorities for coats. One will be
three-quarter length with the basque
fitting tightly on the hips; the other
will reach just three inches below the
waist.
Jewels are to be more popular than
ever this autumn. We are to have
rings on our fingers and chains on our
toes in the greatest p~rofusion. while
pearls are to be essential TO the winter
costume. The enthusiasts will wear
two rows of these fastened in front of
their hair, with a Louis Seize bow of
black ribbon velvet.
The really wise woman VIII supply
herself at once with a black dress
trimmed with many lines of silken
hraiding; the skirt Of this might be
crossed on the left hip and outlined
with scallops down one side and on the
edge of the shaped founce. With a
short coat this should have a scalloped
basque and collar, and the shoulder
pieces should be cut in one with small
epaulets.

PATRIOTISM VS.. DtMAGOGtRY.


Portland, Ore, April 14.-A special
to the. Oregonian from Salem. Ore,
says that Gov. L. T. Geer, when asked
today to express an opinion regard
ing the demand being made by
governors OF several states for the
immediate discharge of volunteers
now serving in the Philippines, said:
"There is quite a general wish
among the people OF Oregon that the
volunteer soldiers of the state may
soon be returned from Manila, but
not for the reason indicated by the
governors OF the states of South
Dakota and Nebraska, to wit: That
the present conflict in the Philippines
is in opposition to liberty and in the
interest of capitalism
"There is some justice in asking for
the return of the volunteers, now
that the wal with Spain, for which
they enlisted. has been honorably
concluded and that the spasmodic
dificulty yet lingering in the Philip
pines should be suppressed by the
regular army of the United States,
which is amply prepared. 1t is
believed, however, that this wish Is
confined to those of us who are at
home, as the Oregon boys at the
front quite generally express a desire
to remain there until the difficulty is
settled. Our people take no stock in
the declaration that the conflict in
the Philippines is 'waged in opposi-
ton to liberty and in the interest OF
capitalism The very men who
make this charge now are the ones
who little more than a year ago
were loudly accusing President Nc
Kinley of 'cowardice,' and of delay
ing the war withSpaini in the interest
of capitalism as represented by
Spanish bondholders.
1.-THE seizing of the Philippines was
an incident of that war wholly unfor.
seen by anybody, applaudedbye every
patriotic citizen at that time and
they could not be relinquished with

and confession ofnatiOnal weakness

PLANT TREES AND SHRUBS.


Gov. Smith has issued the annual
Arbor Day proclamation as follows:
"As winter disappears and the
earth puts on its summer robes OF
grass and flowers, the season reminds
us that it is our duty to ourselves
and to posterity that we shall, as
far as in our power lies, assist nature
to make more beautiful homes, public
grounds and ways. The cultivation
of trees, vines and shrubs tends to
enrich our soil and keep 1t moist, and
at the same time 1t relieves the land
scape from the glare OF the summers
sun. In addition to the advantages
thus given to the physical aspect of
the state, a higher sense OF the artistic
and beautiful Is thus begotten In our
people and the proper spirit OF pride
in our homes and cities and our state
is encouraged and fostered. The
legislative assembly, recognizing
these blessings and benefits, set aside
a day to be known az Arbor day and
directed the executive to make pro-
clamation of the same. Now, there
fore, l, Robert B. Smith, governor of
the state of Montana, by virtue OF
the law in me vested, do hereby pro-
claim Tuesday, the 9th day Of May,
A. ID. 1899, Arbor day, and request
that all persons in the state devote a
part Of that day to the planting OF
trees, vines. or shrubs upon their
lands, public grounds and ways, for
the purpose of beautifyin them and
serving the interests of our state and
people,"
