.r When the late General Macdonald visited his relatives in Scotland he wore very curious watch. The curiosity did not lie in the watch itself, which was of large size. but in the glass, which was rough and thick, but served its purpose as well as another. Mac donald was very proud of this glass and told it's story with much circumstance. One day during the Sudan campaign he had broken the original glass, and was puzzled to find a substitute for it in the desert. At last, however, he smashed tumbler. The bottom he ground on a stone until it was fine enough, and the size he shaped until it fitted tightly into the setting. And so good was the hand iwork that it lasted until he returned home. He never had it removed.

There are now 51,53s divorced people in the United States, of whom 32,205 are women and 1884, 1884 men. The reason for such an excess of women is explained on the theory that divorced men are more apt to remarry than divorced women. There are very few cities in which the number of divorced men is greater or even equal to the number of women.

A new kind of glass that resists great heat as we'll as sudden changes of temperature is made from Brazilian n quartz pebbles. The pebbles are heated red-hot and then thrown into distilled water. The purest pieces are next selected and welded with the oxy- hydrogen blow pipe into long stems like knitting needles, from which glass vessels of any shape, can be made. At present the quartz glass is chiefly em- ployed for making laboratory appara- tus. Into a test-tube made in this way a white-hot coal can be dropped with out breaking it. Vessels of other forms can be heated white-hot and then plunged into cold water without crack ing.-Youth's Companion. I

 of Hartford Young Man.
 Hartford, May 2s.-The body of the man found floating in the Connecticut river at Rocky HIll Tuesday night proved to be that of Frank A. Lane Jr, of No 776 Windsor avenue. The young man had been missing since April 9 and when his parents read that a body had been found they came to the conclusion that 1t was that of their son. During the molsling the body was identified by Frank A. Lane, the father, a--d Charles M. Lane, brother
 Young Lane was 24 years old on April 9. During the winter he suf- fered with severe attack of the grip and he studied hard to qualify himself for the civil service examination for the position of letter carrier at the Hartford postottice. He passed sue cessfully and stood among the leaders in list of forty applicants. He re- ceived an appointment in the post
  to his. ability to i'll the position. His family think that because of his weak ened condition from the grip and hard study and the subsequent worry, he became mentally upset and took his life. His parents and brothers and sis ters were much disturbed at his con tdnued absence and his father visited towns where he knew the boy was ac- quainted, in the hope of locating him. On Saturday MT Lane went to Boston and hired a private detective and 'le searched for his son in that city. The young man could not be located and Mr Lane returned to Hartford at about II o'clock Tuesday night. When mem bers of the family read the paper yesterday morning they were con vinced that the body found in the river was Franks,
 MT Lane said yesterday that there was no reason why his son should end his life. He had good home and was supplied with all things he needed and he believed that his sons act was due to his mental condition. He left home on the morning of April and went to the postoffice. He told F. c. Jackson, the superintendent of carriers, that he had a bad headache and he asked that he be excused from going out on the route. He said that he wanted to go home to sleep and he promised to re port for duty at o'clock that after noon. He did not report. When he did not return home that night his father went to the postoffice and asked NTr Jackson about him, and the family became worried. He was q young man Of good habits He measured six feet. was well proportioned and was de- scribed as handsome looking fellow. Besides his parents he leaves a sister and three brothers.

 The article in yesterdays paper re- garding the introduction into this city Df branch of the Daughters of the Holy Ghost was quite surprise to almost everybody and much specula- shon was indulged in as to when the sisters will come here and where they will have their headquarters.

s'You have your own ideas as to the needs of the country ?" they said to the man who wanted to run for office.
 "You bet have" he replied. "The country needs me-"
 "And your political principles ?"
 "Oh, I'm loaded up with political principles, but the greatest principle of all is to get office"
 "How about a platform?"
 That's where am especially strong. My platform is to give the public any kind of Q platform that 1t seems to want, and then, if am elected, to live up to just as much or as little of it as suits me-"
 Thereupon they knew that they had a practical politician to deal with, and, following precedent, they gave him the nomination.-Brooklyn Eagle.
