The Italian Glass Industry.

NC ieaildH GidSS INDUSTRY.
venetian glass, commonly so called
does not in reality come directly from
the queenly city from which it derives
its name. The principal home of this
beautiful art work is in the little CITY
OF Murano, an island town not more
than mile from Venice.
Centuries ago some glass workers
from Venice established themselves
here with the jealousy guarded Sc.
crets of their art. Indeed so zeal
ously were these guarded that MANY
OF them were lost entirely, and dur-
ing the fifteenth and sixteenth cen.
turtles Venetian glass refrigerated so
much that with the exception of glass
beads very little else was ATTEMPTED
In either Murano or Venice.
But about 1860 an Italian named An
tonic Salviati rediscovered the process
that made it possible for Murano To
engage once more in the industry
that made it famous so many cen
turtles before.
Perhaps the chief beauty in the
Murano glass is that every workman
is an artist and takes enormous pride
In creating new and still more beauti-
ful designs.

last century, and the pom vitae, or the
apple of life" still perpetuates their
memory in the sheltered and pictur-

shires of Devon, Dorset and Somerset,
where from time immemorial cider
has been almost the exclusive drink of
successive generations Of stalwart
yeomen and sturdy peasants, renown-
ed for their strength, activity and
longevity, and an enviable freedom
from govt, rheumatism and other kin

AS might be reasonably expected,
cider has had its poets as well as it's
historians. In Queen Anne's time,
some thirty years after, the appear

The buying up by wealthy city resi-
dents of Long Island farms containing
appleorchards, the damages caused by
the San Jose scale, the gradual dying
out of the old orchards and the in
creasing price of sound apples has
nearly wound up the cider business
on Long Island that for years, was
a profitable industry, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger. The picturesque old
hand press that in hard cider days of
"Tippecanoe and Tyler too" could be
found on nearly every Long Island
farm is thing of the past.
They were replaced gradually by
the larger and more powerful mills,
when the apples were ground and
pressed by horse power, and still
later by the power furnished by the
steam engines. The farmer, finding
he could take his wagon load of heap
ed up apples to the mill-say forty or
fifty bushels-and in an hour or two
bring back his three or four barrels
of cider at the cost of cent or two
per gallon, gave up his tedious and
exhausting hand press and resorted
to the general neighborhood mill.
owners of fine orchards of New
town pippins and golden russets and
other choice varieties of cider making
apples took especial care of the cure
OF their vintage, and after finally
drawing OFF the finished product in
bottles, put it away in storage cellars,
where it was kept from one to five
years before marketing. The very
best apples were selected for the vim
tage. None but sound fruit, free from
all signs of decay, was used. Long
Island apples have always had a
unique flavor, owing to their proximity
to the sea, and with their passing

from their tables.

War Lasted One Day.


A one days war! There is a pleas
ant sound about it when one recalls
wars which have fingered on for
years, says the Hour Glass, an Eng
fish periodical Yet this almost rec
ord short war embraced two battles.
1t was in 1S4S that the Mahrattas i'm
periled the peace of our great Eastern
possessions, and more especially the
Punjab, by maintaining, despite all
protest, standing army of $4,000,
backed up by numerous cannon which
had been equipped in their own foun-
dries and arsenals. When hostilities
did open, however, it was scarcely an
ticipated that the Mahrattas would
face our troops in battle, but right
gallantly did they confront the two
British divisions converging on them,
and the two battles may be said to
have lasted between the rising and set
g of the sun, the Mahrattas in the
end being routed with great loss. A
curious feature of one of these fights,
which had opened Unexpectedly, was
the presence of ladies mounted on ele-
plants, and they had to be hurried to
the rear amid the whistling of bull
lets.
