GLASS TABLE WARE.
Competition Among Manufacturers to
Get the Best Designers.
tbo u Doc
From the Pittsburg i

In spite Of the assurances among the
tableware glass manufacturers that an
agreement has been secured to prevent a
price war after January ], a good many Of
the independent concerns are looking for
ward to a lively season in 1902. The meet
ing of the jobbers during the present week
in this city and the partial exhibit of new
designs of glassware by number of the
manufacturers resulted in the placing of
some large orders. 1t is claimed they were
placed at prices below what has been con-
sdered the standard. There is nut tering
of discomfort and a threat of breaking away
from the rules in force.
The chief point gained by the Independent
concerns thus far, according to some of the
jobbers, has been their designing effects.
The trade seems to have drifted away from
the standard of greatest economy in pro-
duction, to the best designing for its strong
hold. New designing departments have
been established in nearly all the plants,
and special efforts have been made to Guido
each competitor.
One of the manufacturers said the race
among the trade for fine designers and art
decorators has been so keen that the best
of these had been stolen from one factory
by another until scarcely one old hand re-
taiHs his position for any length of time.
Owing to this condition of affairs, it IS
said that the larger companies have been
forced to reorganize their departments con-
siderably. The National Class COMPANY
which inaugurated the competitive design
contest and offered prizes last year for the
best art shown by. designers, laid the
foundation for the present struggle for su-
premacy, and all of the other concerns have
followed the big concern with enthusiasm
The result Of the designers work is to be
exhibited at the general display OF all
manufacturers, which takes pace here in
January.

Freight Traffic EXPANSION.


The enormous concentration of iron and
steel production in the Pittsburg district,
as a result of vast industrial combinations,
has created new problems in transportation
of more than local Importance. An output
Of heavy freight, every ton of which must
be handled by railway companies or river
steamship lines, has increased within six
years past from 10000 COO tons annually
to over 66,G0o,00o tons in 1900, with an estl-
mated total for 1901 of 10 25O,O tons. OF
this the railroad companies must carry all
but about 100000 tons. The latter figure
Is nearly the. full annual carrying capacity
OF the Ohio river outlet to gulf ports so
that any increased traffic must be provided
for by existing railway transportation COM
panies. Instead of declining, as was antici-
pated last year. the outward movement of
freight from the iron and steel center keeps
even pace in advance, and would clog the
channels of transportation but for extraor-
binary efforts by railway managers to re-
lieEe the situation.

The Nations City,

1T seems to me that the present condition
of the water supply of the city" said one
of the winter residents, will convince Con-
gress that the present is not the time to
economic in appropriations for completing
a filter system. All the members of the ma
tional legislature, as they are obliged to
live here during the sessions of Congress
are, of course, affected by local conditions
as is demonstrated just now in regard to
the water, and this only furnishes an
other Illustration of the fact that is rec
ognized by all who have given the subject
any thought, that this is a national city in
the sense that 1t is the home of the ma
tional government and under it's control At
the same time there are people who make
their homes here and whose interests are
here, constituting a community that is
yearly growing in numbers and Importance
These people pay taxes, as do the resi-
dents of other places. 1t is therefore ap-
parent as l work it out in my thought
that here in Washington there are two
elements of what is known as civic feeling
One comprises the members of the national
legislature and the other the residents here
What is needed, in my opinion, in the pres
ent financial emergency, is united and har-
monfous action on the part of both, and in
that event the best interests of the entire
District will be subserved."

Baden-POweIl's Idea for Cavalry,
from the London F-DreSs

Baden-Powelrs brain Is never still HIS
versatile nature is ever .improvising and
improving The stern needs of war have
shown him many plans to help cavalrymen
in action and one of the most important is
method to hold horses in action against
stampeding. He has just been asked to
submit his plan to the war office The idea
Is simplicity itself, and, seeing that it al
lows every man to go into action, has been
favorably received by the war office Of
fcsals. The system is that of leaving the
reins simply undone the offside of the
horses bit, the nearside being left fastened
The rein is then fastened to the nearside
stirrup, so as to give just sufficient pulling
power on the horses mouth to keep it
moving in n small circle, if it is inclined to
move at all. In this way, it will be seen
that all possibility of stampede is done
away with, the horse cannot move in a
straight direction.

GODDESS OF SMALLPOX.
In Her Honor Thugs Kill 10000 Per-
sons Year i'm India.
From the Boston Post.

Prom the Boston fost.
The divinity worshiped by the Thugs Of
India is appropriately enough the goddess
of smallpox. Thagi Tor Thuggee), the only
religion that breaches murder is not yet
extinct 1t appears, in fact, OF late years
to have been actually on the increase. In
ders by Thugs as late as 1896, while in Gen.
trail India the increase in the last three or
four years is startling.
About seventy years have passed since
two young English officials agreed that the
day of retribution was come for the follow
ers of the goddess Kali. There were at that
time at least 10000 Thugs wandering I'M
molested over the surface of India who
earned a livelihood by numbering their fell
low-men. They lived in this way partly be-
cause it was their religion and partly be-
cause they preferred numbering to either
working or begging
AS each Thug killed, on an average, three
men year, some 10000 people, mostly TN
DER British rule or protection vanished into
the earth every year. Such figures seem
incredible, and yet officials of the time say
that they are probably under the mark.
The Thug would set out on his business
with the quiet earnestness Of one who Is
merely doing his duty and would brutality
murder twenty thirty victims not only
with an easy conscience, but with the calm
self-approval Of a successful practitioner.
Nor was he at all grasping in his dealings.

that IS annas "a shilling) Is a very good re-

TEETH IN WARFARE.
England's Experience In Africa Shows
Need of Military Dentistry.

England's Experience In Africa Shows
Need of Military Dentistry.
From the London Pail Mall Gazette,
After twenty-one months fighting four
dental surgeons have been sent to South
Africa to attend to the teeth of the army.
Thus does the war office put forth stupen-
dous efforts to atone for past ineptitude.
In an army of a quarter of million men
these four surgeons should be kept tolera-
bly, busy. No soldier who has campaigned
six months in Africa will, If he be wise,
neglect chance of having his teeth exam
ined. Each surgeon therefore will have a
clientele Of G., 800 officers and men. As
sumng that every day of the week in
Guiding Sundays thirty men are treated by
each dentist, the teeth of the army will
have been oVerhauled and the work of fill
ing, eXcavating and filling completed in
something over siXty-nine months. 1t
should console man on active service suf-
fering today from toothache in a precious
molar which he can iil-afford to lose, to
know that he will not be troubled with the
agonizing pain later than April, 1907.
In the unequal struggle between trek OK
and biscuit on the one hand and mere hu-
man teeth on the other, not ) per cent of
the men of my company came through
scatheless. In many cases the damage was
slight; in others, where the teeth We're nat
urally weak and brittle, the mischief done
was irreparable. Even with an average
set, strafning on an average biscuit you
never felt quite certain which would be the
first to go-your teeth or your biscuit.

DETECTING BAD MONEY.
Bank Clerks Identify 1t, often With
out COmprehendinE Just Why.

From the Kansas City Star.
Is seems wonderful to the casual observer
that cashiers, bank tellers and others who
handle large amounts of paper money are
able, at a glance, to detect bad note.
Exactly what it is that does expose the
counterfeit the best experts find it difficult
to tell. They say they know 1t instinctively.
They judge not only by the looks of the
note, but by the feel Of it. 1t is obvious
that counterfeit note must be widely cir
culated to make it profitable. No sooner
does a counterfeit appear than its descrip-
ton is widely published. Those who are
likely-to suffer by taking counterfeit notes
make it their business to be on the lookout
for new Ones which are soon distinguish
able by some easily discovered mark.
A teller knows of just what denomina-
tons are the counterfeits, and just where
to look for the tell tale marks. He detects
the spurious notes as easily as the reader
does a misspelled word 1t is no particular
effort. 1t is habit. The principal reason
why counterfeits are so easily detected is
because in some feature they are almost
uniformly of inferior quality. This is, in
deed, the main protection of the public.
Genuine notes are engraved and printed
almost regardless of cost, and the very best
materials are used In the engraving and
printing. 1t is done in large establishments
with costly materials. and by the best
workmen. 1t is practically impossible for
counterfeiters to do as well. They must
work ip secret and at a disadvantage, and
of necessity cannot have the experience to
produce such perfect work. If they get
the engravings done nicely they fail in the
printing, or IL they get the engraving and
printing done well they fail in securing
the proper paper. OF late years there has
been great deal of care taken to get paper
manufactured expressly for the notes is
sued by the government. The national

Boiled Fowl.
When fowls and turkeys are old and
tough the better way is to boil them until
nearly done. then put them in the oven to
brown. This will make them tender. juicy
and almost as fine-fiavored as the roasted
young chicken turkey. But many con-
slider boiled fowl rather insipid when not

Danger in Too Much Study,

From LesIie's Weekly.
A writer in the Medical Record sounds a
wise and timely note of warning in regard
to dangers of rushing young children too
rapidly through their studies He declares
that our modern educational system is
greatly at fault in laying too much stress
upon examinations, and in developing the
minds of children too often at the expense
of their vitality and health The stress Of
modern education. he says, has enormously
taxed the brains of children by the multi
plicity of studies. Children cannot assimi-
late the IDEAS in widely differing depart
ments of knowledge at one and the same
time The effort to do SO deranges in many
instances the entire nervous system of tho
child. The so-called nervous child is not
only not normal, but may be the victim of
the education methods of the present day.
