From an average price of about

per box for double-strength in 1893,
the value of glass has quite doubled, if
not more than doubled.
''Since the existence of the American
Glass company. the greatest advance
in price has taken place. This company
has managed its affairs without change
practically since its formation, and has

A remarkable engineering feat is
soon to be attempted in Boston-the
moving of a six-story brick building
and stone hotel building from one
site to another without taking it
apart. The ground upon which the
building now stands is of swampy
character and $50 piles will have to
be driven around the foundation of the
structure to support the 1000 jacks
upon which it will be raised from its
foundation prior to its removal. It
will be transported to it's new loca-

The city of Artena, in Italy, claims
the undisputed record of having no
man among it's inhabitants who has
neither committed murder or tried to
do so. For two centuries the Italian
authorities have ignored it's existence
and when any criminal succeeds in
escaping to Artena he is left alone.
AS such wayfarers reach the town
they are asked what crime they have
committed, and should they not be
able TO give very clear proof that they
have really committed some offense
in the eyes of the law they are not
allowed to enter.

The discovery that local anaesthesia
may be successfully applied in cases
of major surgical operations may
well mark the commencement of a
new epoch in medicine. Heretofore
chloroform and ether have been the
only agents used in serious operations,
and the fact that they sometimes
have n serious effect on the vital or
gans has led an additional terror
10 the dread with which such emer-
eencies are faced. Now it is possible
TO apply local anaesthesia so that
while the patient remains conscious
the operation is painless.

A MEMORABLE NIGHT.
Made So for n Drummer by a Fire
Drill in "A Country
Hotel.

''It happened last winter" said the
drummer, according to the Detroit
Free Press, ''but have only just calmed
down sufficiently to speak about it. All
my life l have had a horror of being
caught in a hotel fire. One of the first
things 1 did when 1 took to the road
was to buy knotted rope and put it
in my grip to guard against any dan
ger of my being caught in my room
and burned to death.
''Well, one cold night last winter
found me at country hotel in the in
terror of the state. 1t was a three
story wooden affair, and regular fire
and turned in that night with the fear
of fire uppermost in my mind.
''Along about early morning l was
awakened by heavy tramping through
the hall, and upon going to the door L
saw party dragging a hose along.
That settled it. The expected had hap
pened! Grabbing my rope, 1 tied one
end of it to the bedstead and threw the
other end out of the window. Then l
threw my grip out and followed it my
self. 1 was only half dressed, and the
only warm part about me on that cele-
brated slide were my hands, which
were badly burned by the rope. Hand
ed in a snowdrift and thanked my
lucky stars for my escape. When l got
the snow out of my eyes l noticed
with good deal of surprise that there
seemed to be no excitement below.
Rushing into the Office, / shouted to
the landlord, who was calmly chewing
a blotter: See here, don't you know
the house is afire?'
"''Tain't no fire. he answered, calm
ly. We're jes' havin' fire drill, that's
all. We don't take no chances in this
yere hotel!'

alton called for a few choice remarks,
but | was too cold to do the subject
justice, so went to my room withouta

He only permitted the treatment to
cease when a large and very painful
boil appeared on Mrs. Jobson's neck.
NOW that the medicines had its eff
feet" said Mr.. Jobson, with triumph
ant expression, when she told him
about the boil, you can drop the treat
ment. It's just as 1 told you. The APP
pearance of the boil clearly indicates
that you needed sulphur and molasses
the worst way, and if you were able
to view the matter from a proper stand
point YOU wouldn't take a new, crisp
ten-dollar bill for that boil, or twice
the amount, for that matter"
The boil caused Mrs. Jobson great
misery, and she had finally to call in a
physician to attend to it.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Jobson began to
complain to Mrs. Jobson of feeling
"dopy" and "all gone" and dog tired"
and as having that weary, not-fit-to-
live" feeling.
Il know what you want" said Mrs.
Jobson, with twinkle in her eye. Its
sulphur and molasses."
"Who, me?" said Mr.. Jobson, for the
moment forgetting his advocacy of
that sovereign remedy last year. Not
much do l. l wouldn't take dose of
that derned stuff-er-well, it's all
right, of course"-Mr. Jobson had sud-
denly remembered the stand he had
taken for sulphur and molasses the pre-
ceding spring-"but it isn't what /
need. My blood's all right. I'm over
worked, that's all, shaving and toiling
to keep this establishment together.
Anyhow, sulphur and molasses is not
adapted to the needs of men. It's a
woman's remedy. Nope, l guess I'll
drop by the doctor this evening on the
way up and have him look me over.
Mr.. Jobson did call upon his doctor,
who told him that he was all right, and
only suffering from a mild attack of
laziness, due to the balmy spring
zephyrs.
Last Sunday morning Mr.. Jobson be-
gan to feel of red lump on the back
of his neck. He didn't say anything
about it, but he kept feeling of it all
day. He got home from the office early
On Monday afternoon, and he couldn't
move his head a quarter of an inch to
one side or the other.
"Why, what on earth is the matter p
said Mrs. Jobson, alarmed, when he en-
tered the house with long face and a
heavy tread.
"Oh, nothing" said Mr.. Jobson, Sex
cept that I've got a triplescrew, quad

the back of my neck-that's ALL"
LET me see," said Mrs. Jobson, and
she looked at the back of his neck.
"Why, it's only a little, ordinary
boil she said.
"Is, hey!" crowded Mr.. Jobson.

perhaps it isn't big enough to suit
you? Perhaps you'd like to have it as
big as coffee cup!
But" said Mrs. Jobson, unable to
keep the twinkle out of her eye, ''boils
are such good things, you know!
Aren't they better out thanin?' Now,
if you were able to view the matter
from a proper standpoint, you wouldn't
take a new, crisp ten-dollar note for
that boil, and"
Mr.. Jobson turned his whole body
around so that he could gaze at Mrs.
Jobson sternly.
''Now, [ know was right in my sur
mise" said he, hoarsely. Il hesitated
before permitting myself to believe it,
but the manifect delight with which
you view my suffering compels me to
the belief that you are responsible for
my misery. 1t is difficult to conceive,
Mrs. Jobson, that you could be guilty of
so mean revenge, but l haven't par
ticle of doubt in life that you've been

Perhaps the TYPO Meant 1t.

THE most appropriate error that l
ever saw" remarked Will Ziegler
few days ago, was one that came I'M
der my observation when 1 was out
in Colorado. 1t happened at Colorado
Springs when the mining excitement
there was at its height. Every man,
woman and child in the town owned
stock in some mine, and only about
one-half of one per cent. realized any
thing on their investments. One day
the news was circulated about town
that man high up in mining circles
"a stock manipulation and mine
owner-had died suddenly of heart
disease. A local paper held the press
to get in an account of the death, and
the editor wrote double column head
line which began: Death Loves a
Shining Mark The paper came out
in about half an hour, but the horror
stricken readers were treated to a
headline like this: Death Loves a
Mining Shark 1t was a simple case
of transposition in the composing
room of that paper, but it liked to
wreck the plant. And it never was
altogether clear that the compositor
who set it up hadn't made the mis-
take on purpose. He had been dab
bling in mining stock little himself"

CRUEL RAILWAYS IN RUSSIA.
They Kill Ten Times More People
Than Those of Any other
Country.

1t appears from railway statistics,
recently given to the public in Russia,
that the Russian railways kill ten
times more persons each year than
do those of any other country. By
similar statistics printed some years
back the United States led the other
countries in this respect, but since
1898 Russia has had the bad preemin-
ence of leading the world as respects
the numbers killed yearly in proper
ton to the numbers carried on its
railways. Out of 500,0O0,OO0 passen-
gers on the American railways the
fatalities are $500, including en-
ployes; while out of 100000 passen-
gers on the Russian railways the ia
talities are 6,107. Including the ST.
berian railway Russia's mileage is
about $4,000 miles, while that of the
United States is about $4,000 miles.
The United States commercial agent
in Vladivostock reports to the state
department that experiments have
been made on the St. Petersburg and
Warsaw road with an invention de-
signed to give warning and lessen the
deadly effects of railroad collisions.
Two wrecking railroads were provided,
on the first the sleepers were dis
placed, on the second the rails were
displaced. In both cases the stoppage
was immediate by the aid of this de-
vice, without outside help and with
out injury to the moving trains. The
essential feature of the invention is
an iron tube, of usual construction,
connected with the general system
of brakes and placed in front of the
wheels. At the least irregularity in
the movement of the train the tube.
in consequence of certain cuts made
on it at intervals, breaks, and thus
produces the immediate stoppage of
the train, locomotive as well.
