ABOUT GLASS BATHTUBs.


Bathtubs of glass may be expected
to replace enamel and metal one.
soon. They are being made in Ger
many now and are said to have many
advantages over metal and enamel
the principal one being that they are
much cheaper, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. Besides bathtubs, tanks
and watts such as are used by brew
ers, distillers and sugar refiners are
being made of glass, and the manu-
facturer is confident that he can re-
place those for which clay, wood,
cement and metal are now commonly
used, with superior articles construct
ed at lower cost. Glass bathtubs are
not fragile. Those being made now
are five and six feet long, about two
feet wide and about two and one-half
inches thick. They are made in .
solid piece, and one can be made COM
plete in about i've minutes.
This is owing to new process of
blowing glassware by means of COM
pressed air. The process was invented
in Pittsburg about 20 years ago, but
was limited to making bottles and
similar small-sized articles. Paul
Stevert, of Dresden, has improved it,
and under his process there need be
10 limit, within reason, to the size OF
the article made. The method is sim
plicity itself. The molten glass is
taken from the furnace and placed in
mold, which can readily be swung
to any desired position. Compressed
air is thus admitted through fexi-
Bile tube which connects with the bot
tom of the mold. The air pressure is
regulated by valves. As soon as the
article is finished it is switched into
an annealing chamber, where it is
again heated and then allowed to
cool. This toughens it, and after the
process it is ready for use.
Plates OF large size are being made
Of glass by an adaptation of the same
process In this case an ornamental
design is first made on a sheet of ne
culiar composition, which remains
moist for some time. Colored glass
is spread over this to work out the
design. Then the sheet is placed ON
the glass plate and the whole is heat
ed in the oven. The heat consumes the
sheet on which the design was made.
leaving only the layer of colored glass,
welded into the plate. Some remark |
able and very picturesque effects are
made in this way.

After the lapse of some years .
fresh effort is now being made in
Berlin to stamp out the system Of
tipping walters at hotels and res.
taurants. An "Anti-Tips league
has been formed, the members Of
which bind themselves on joining
never to give any tips whatever to
walters in cafes, restaurants. or
hotels, nor to the conductors Of
tramcars and omnibuses. In ease
any remonstrsnce should be made by
those accustomed to receive eratui-
ties of this kind, they are to be adj
vised to lodge complaint with their
employers, and to demand an in.
crease of wages from them.-Londou

HER HEART INvINcIBLE


There Is in San Francisco a typical
bachelor girl of the modern sort who
prefers her independence to any kind
of husband.
She has had all sorts offered her, and
she has demonstrated that her senti-
ments on the question are something
more than idle words by refusing every
one of them. And instead of keeping
house for man she is keeping house
for salary, having charge Of one Of
the fashionable family hotels in San
Francisco. reports an exchange of that
city.
She hasn't always worked for liv-
ing. Her father was wealthy. But he
lost his money and he took a second
wife, both of which events she deemed
good and sufficient reason why she
should leave the paternal roof and set
out on her own career.
Brought up amid surroundings OF
luxury and refinement. this girl, Miss
Frances Richie, had every advantage.
She was beautiful and accomplished
and by the time she was out of short
skirts men began laying their hearts
and their fortunes at her feet. She
has been kept busy ever since refusing
them. She hasn't been disappointed
in love. and the marriage question
certainly with her isn't in the "sour
grapes" class. She simply hasn't want
ed husband, and she has had to be
very insistent in the matter to convince
the men of her acquaintance that she
wouldn't on any account have one.
She has refused more offers-ex-
tremely eligible offers, too--than most
women have the good luck to get In
lifetime. Noblemen and millionaires,
and mine owners. and cattle kings. and
bankers and capitalists, and army Of
ficers are numbered among her reject
ed suitors.
There was a SEC, 1000, 900 mine owner
OF San Francisco to whom she said

him not the least attention.
1t piqued him, prince, not to be mo-

got back the reply that 1t was not con-
Ven1ent for them to see him, az the
young lady was having her hair

TRAINING A RIDING HORSE.

The mister Made Good His Asaer-
tion as 10 What He Could Do.
Yes" said the riding master. 81
have TO be a horse trainer as well as a
riding master In fact, l couldn't very
well be the second without being the
first. | always have horses in my
school stables here that are sent TO me
to train for my pupils. One came this
morning, and IL you have the time to
spare | will show you how l give the
FIRST lesson in obedience"
The master then ordered one of his
men to bring the horse out into the
school," great oblong space. coy
cred with sawdust and inclosed and
rooted. The horse was a fine, spirited
animal. with an intelligent and kindly
eye. and the master said at once that
he would be a tractable and teachable
subject, explaining that he had not
yet had a chance to make his &C
quaintance."
Now" said he, "you must remem-
Der that this horse has never seen me
before and that | am, therefore, per-
feet stranger to him, and yet think
can establish between him and myself
so good a feeling that in five minutes
time he will follow me all about the
school at word of command-perhaps
without q command Let us see.'
He then approached the horse, and
the man stepped away. Speaking a
few words gently, he patted the ami
mails neck and rubbed his hand over
his head. Telling the man to give him
a small riding whip, long and straight,
with keen lash. he placed himself
with his right shoulder close to the
horses head. holding the bride rein
near the bit with his right hand and in
his left hand the whip extended back
horizontally so that the lash was oppo-
site to the horses flank.
"Now," said he, "for our lesson"
And he began leading the horse around
the school, keeping his shoulder close
to the animals head. Presently he
took his hand off the bride, and the
horse at once began to move away
from his shoulder. but sharp turn of
the masters wrist brought the lash of
the whip against his flank just hard
enough to make little sting, and at
the same time the master caught hold
Of the bride and gently pulled the re-
fractory head close to his shoulder
again.
This was repeated half dozen
times, and then the horse evidently
reasoned out the situation somewhat
in this way:
GAS long as keep my head close to
this mans shoulder it's all right, but
the minute | take it away something
back there jumps up and sticks me.
Therefore I'll not take it away any
more"
That must have been the way he
reasoned, for within the five minutes
time allotted by the riding master the
horse was following him all around the
school like big dog, nor did the mas
ter have to touch the bride once
