Selecting Glassware.

To select glass with discretion 1t Is
necessary to understand somewhat Of
its manufacture and to recall the prop
critics of the chemicals Of which 1t Is
composed. These materials are chiefly
soda, potash, lime, alumina and oxide
of lead. The quality Of the glass to be
manufactured depends upon the
amount of the basic material united
with the silica or sand. The best glass
Is made with lead, which gives to 1t
luster, fusibility and high refractory
powers. 1t is often called flint glass to
distinguish 1t from lime glass, which Is
much cheaper and of a decidedly green
ish tint
Flint glass is that which Is most gen.
orally used for cutting and polishing.
1t may be picked out by the clear, bell
like tone which 1t sends forth when
struck. This test may be made without
any danger of breaking the glass II II
be held firmly in one hand while the
upper part or edge is sharply struck
with pencil or other instrument, the
only care requisite being to see that the
glass does not touch any object wher
1t is struck, since If there be room fol
1t to vibrate glass will never break

A Clever Canary.

A lady who had lost canary hap
pened to be attracted by bird that
was hopping about in its cage in the
front window Of house in New York.
Thinking that it looked very like her
own, she knocked at the house door
and asked few questions about 1t.
She was told that 1t had been found
one cold morning sitting on the win
dow sill and was taken in and cared
for The lady said her bird could per-
form the pretty feat Of picking up a
pin and sticking it in the carpet. Be-
ing allowed to test this bird, the cage
door was opened and pin thrown on
the floor. The canary at once few

VIII Raise the Wreck OF the Maine.

Commander Lucien Young, who
has charge of the work of removing
the wreck of the Maine from Havana
harbor has issued circular asking
bids for the work, to be opened at
Havana at IL o'clock noon on Dec.
l5. 1900. The use of explosives will
be prohibited, and all material per-
tanning to the wreck and all access
cries for the removal of the same
must be removed from the harbor
by April 1901. Specifications and
all available information will be
furnished upon application to Com
mander Young. A certified check
for 81 900 will he required to accom-
pany each proposal as guarantee
of good faith, to be returned to the
unsuccessful bidders upon the award
of the contract. The successful bid
der must give bond for $4,000 fol
faithful compliance with the terms
of the contract. 1t Is Captain Sigs'
bees idea that coffer-dam mig hi
be constructed around the wreck
thus affording easy means of re-
moving it without much work or
the part of the divers and without
employing explosives. The remova
of the wreck is awaited with the
keenest interest for the promise i
affords of settling beyond dispute
the cause of the disaster.

A Case of Highway Robbery With I
Peculiar Ending.

A Case of Highway Robbery With q
Peculiar Ending.
What the hero of this story kicks
about Is the fact that his wife forgot
her sacred word never to say anything
regarding it. His business keeps him
out late, and he frequently carries con-
siderable money. When footpads are
reported In evidence, he gets MS near
home as he can by street car and then
takes the best lighted route to his
house.
One night he lad reached the front Of
his own place and had just drawn o
long sigh Of relief when the order
Glands up!" startled him into compli-
ance. One man held gun In the I'M
mediate neighborhood Of his ear and
another systematically robbed him Of
everything worth carrying off. The or
der then was that he walk around the
block so as to defer the use of his tele-
phone, and 1t was clearly stated that
any attempt to turn back. run or call
for help would result in his being
assassinated.
Before he reached the corner 1t
struck him that the voice or one OF the
men sounded familiar and then that its
owner was near neighbor greatly
given to practical joking. Back he
went on tiptoes, his revolver in his
right hand, and surprised the footpads
as they were dividing the spoils. He
made them lay everything on the walk,
and when they Strengthened up await
ing the next order he discovered that
both were total strangers. His hand
dropped from sheer terror, and then
the robbers ran one way, while he
sprinted the other. Half an hour later
he, his wife and lantern, revolver
and the MED girl went out and found
his money, watch, papers and diamond
pin. His wife simply ruined the story
| by telling 1t first.-Detroit Free Press.

THEY SLEEP HANGING UP.
BIoths and Bats Suspend Themselves
without ExertiOn.

There Is one animal which lives en-
tirely In trees, but is able to maintain
It's position during slumber without the
least exercise of muscular force. This
Is the sloth, common in the forests OF
tropical America. Its long claws are so
bent that they hook over the branches
and allow the creature to hang upside
down like an animated hammock. Gu
riously enough, the hammock appears
to be South American invention and
Is universally employed by all the In
dian tribes of the Amazons. Perhaps
the primitive human dwellers In this
region took to sleeping In hammocks
after observing the habits of the sloth.
The great ant eater, which Is both a
kinsman and fellow cOuntryman of the
sloth, has an enormous tail, which 1t
uses in a very remarkable manner. l
recently saw two Of these strange ami
mails lying together asleep, and they
| had arranged their tails SO cleverly
that their whole bodies were hidden
from view. Moreover 1t was evident
that this caudal covering would afford
excellent protection from the weather,
for the central solid part Of the tails
acted as kind of ridge pole over the
highest part of the sleepers' bodies, 80
that, the long fringes of hair sloped
downward ON each side like the thatch
upon roof.
Like the sloths, many kinds Of bats
sleep suspended by their hooked claws
without any muscular exertion what
ever. Some of the large fruit eating
bats Of the tropics, which do not sleep
In holes like the species common In
southern latitudes, but which hang sus
pended to the branches of trees In the
open air, adopt position which II
would be difficult to beat for economy
and comfort. Gould's fruit eating bat
common In the warmer parts Of Aus
tralia, suspends itself upside down by
one hind foot and wraps Its body In the
tentlike folds of its wing membranes
which extend right down to the an
kles. Its shoulders, to which the mem
brane Is attached, are bumped up 30 al
to act MS caves to shoot off the rain
and when asleep 1t draws its head un
der their shelter and nestles its nos,
among the warm fur Of its chest.
