mercantile character to his relations

are simply the paid employees of their

change is that the Law association Is

through the egg. You may find full

to decorate them with initials. A man
likes an umbrella that he can pick out

uNBREAkABLE GLASS.

Louis Kauffeld, a Bavarian
glassworker, says Tit Bits, makes
extraordinary claims for a new
kind of glass he has just discov-
cred. 1t is a glass of such ma
ture that it will not break, that
can be moulded INTO any desired
form, that can be hammered
without catastrophe--in short, a
glass that will be as malleable as,
lead or any other metal. With AM
ordinary goblet made of this new
material you can hammer a nail
into tough board. You can bore
hole in a glass pane and then
patch it with another piece of the
same kind of glass. Coffee pots
and tea kettles, it is claimed, can
be made of the new substance,
aud viii no more'crack, even un.
der the most intense heat, than
would steel.
