THEBEs GLnss WORKERS.
The High Art That Elourished Over
Forty Centuries Ago.


The glassblowers of ancient Thebes
are known to have been equally as pro-
ficient in that particular art as is the
most scientific craftsman of the same
trade of the present day, after lapse
Of over forty centuries of SO called
progress. They We're we'll acquaint-
ed with the art of staining glass and
are known to have produced that COM
modify in great profusion and perfec-
ton. Rossellini gives an illustration
Of piece of stained glass known to
be 1000 years old which displayed ar
tistic taste Of high order, both in tint
and design.
In this case the color is struck
through the vitrified structure, and he
mentions designs struck entirely in
pieces from half to three-quarters of
an inch thick, the color being perfectly
Incorporated with the structure Of the
piece and exactly the same on both the
diverse and reverse sides.
The priests Of P'tah ss Memphis
were adopts in the glassmaker's art,
and not only did they have factories
for manufacturing the common crystal
variety, but they had learned the vitri-
flying of the different colors and of I'M
itating precious stones to perfection.
Their limitations Of the amethyst and
Of the various other colored gems were
so true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
1000 to 1000 years, it takes an expert
to distinguish the genuine articles from
the spurious. 1t has been shown that,
besides being experts in glassmaking
and coloring, they also used the dia-
mond in cutting and engraving. In
the British museum there is beauti-
full piece of stained glass with an en-
graved emblazonment of the monarch
Thothmes Ill, who lived 3,40O years
ago.

KEEP UP YOUR ENERGY.
Stand Erect and Walk as Though
You Were Somebody.


You Were Somebody.
Never allow your physical standard
to drop. Keep up your energy. Walk
as If you We're somebody and We're 60
ing to do something worth while in the
world, SO that even u stranger will note
your bearing and mark your superior
ity. If you have fallen into habit Of
walking in listless, indolent way,
turn right about face at once and make
a change. You don't want to shuttle
along like the failures we often see sit
ting around on park benches or lolling
about the streets, with their hands in
their pockets, or haunting intelligence
offices and wondering why fate has
been so hard with them. You don't
want to give people the impression that
you are discouraged or that you are al
ready falling to the rear. Straighten
up, then! Stand erect! Be man!
You are a child Of the Infinite King.
You have royal blood in your veins.
Emphasize it by your bearing. A man
who is conscious Of his kinship with
God and Of his power and who believes
thoroughly in himself walks with a
firm, vigorous step, with his head erect.
his chin in, his shoulders thrown back
and down, and his chest well projected
In order to give large lung capacity.
He is the man who does things.
You cannot aspire or accomplish great
or noble things so long as you assume
the attitude and bearing Of a coward
or weakling. If you would be noble
and do noble things you must look up.
You were made to look upward and to
walk upright, not to look down or to
shamble along in semihorizonta1 posi-
tion. Put character, dignity, nobility,
into your walk.-Success.

THE LAW OF MOTION.
Effect Of Dropping a Weight ON and
On a Moving Car:

Effect Of Dropping a Weight ON ana
on Moving Car:
If a, person were to jump into the
moving train his feet would reach the
floor in a. direct line to the very spot
from which he jumped, In accordance
with the second law Of motion, which
says: If there be two or more causes of
motion taking place In two different
right lines; whether Inherent in the
body or external to it, their effects do
not interfere. nor does either diminish
or augment the effect Of the other. In
other Words when a force acts upon a
body in motion the change of motion
which it produces is in the direction
and proportional to the magnitude of
the force which acts Those who move
on railroad at the rate of thirty miles
an hour, or forty-tive feet in second,
do not find the relation in which they
stand to the objects in the car In any
degree changed: by the velocity. Take
q stone by way Of illustration-instea
Of the person iumping-and it, like the
passengers, has a common motion on
ward with and derived from the train.
and when let fall from the hand it re-
tains that motion during it's descent.
At the beginning Of it's fall 1T would
have the speed of the train in horizon
tai direction, and gravity would act
upon it in a vertical direction, and Il
would fall as if the car was without
motion. II the stone be dropped. out
side from the platform Of the car to
the lower step thereof instead Of to the
ground it will be found that In accord
ance with the laws stated it will fall In
q direct vertical line, the same as does
the stone let fall inside the car. The
stone. if dropped to the ground outside,
likewise falls in a direct vertical line,
but it has lost the onward motion Of
the train and is left behind.

a PHANTOM FARM.
Jan,es Russell Lowell Got a Glimpse
OF 1t, SO 1t II Said.

I
OF 1t, SO 1t Ii Said.
A curious story of James Russell
Lowell is told. It runs about as fol-
lows and deals with witch farm"
The place is forest near New York,
at some distance, but within walk
from the city. On the edge of the for
est farm will at. times appear which
no one remembers to have ever seen
unless he happens to be among the
few who have had the uncanny prtvt-
lege. There Is no one about the farm,
no sound is heard, yet there are signs
Of busy occupation. The door is open,
empty milk pals lean against the wall,
newly cleaned pans and dairy utensils
and butter churns are set out to dry;
clothes hang on the line In little dry
ing ground.
Whoever chances on the farm sell
dom stops long to look. He will pass
on, thinking to himself: II don't seem
to remember that farm. I must in
quire about it in town." In town not
soul knows anything about it, and
never will that persen see the farm
again, however often he may return to
look for it. Then others will go out to
seek the witch farm. Over and over
again will they pass and repass the
very spot where it had been seen, re-
tracing their steps and puzzling and
saying: ut must be there. We have
mistaken the way"
They are few indeed to whom the
epectraI farm has shown itself. Low
ell himself once saw it. On the verge
Of the wood he passed homestead
which appeared precisely as has been:
described. Lowell saw it all and pass
ed on without thinking, then suddenly
stopped short with feeling of some
thing strange, turned and sauntered
slowly back. But no house at all was
there, and he was unable to find again
the exact spot where it had been.

He insisted that the Cubans put sugar
into everything they cooked. At last

them," he declared. Sohe ordered them
next morning. But before he appeared
at the table another officer had filed

Aiding baltimore Fire Sufferers.

1t is perhaps proper for congress to
aid the sufferers from the Baltimore
fire by putting building materials to
be used in the burned district ON the
free list. Similar legislation was pass
ed to aid the sufferers from the Chica-
60 fire i'll 1871. Two or three inquiries,
however, are suggested by this legisla-
ton:
First.-If the tariff does not increase
the cost Of building materials, or, in
other words, "if the foreigner pays the
tariff tax" as the Republicans declare,
why remove these duties now?
Second.-1f the removal Of the tariff
duties on building materials will great
" relieve the Baltimore fire sufferers,
who for the most part are wealthy
men, why not take off these duties on
all building materials and thus greatly
relieve the rest Of the people Of the
country, who for the most part are poor
and are trying to build for themselves
as good homes as their meager incomes
will permit?
Is this government of, by and 70.
the rich and at the expense Of the
Door?
