The Emperor Francis Joseph has a

ages who are honored with invita-

it very difficult to muster an appetite
for dinner at tea time. They suffer
in silence for the most part. but it
is said that a certain great lady re-
solved to act.
She was invited to dine with the
emperor, but she sat at table and ate
nothing The kindly sovereign feared
she was indisposed. No, she was quite
well. Then why did she send every
dish away? Sire, she answered, Il
never eat between meals. The repair
tee has had a success at Vienna. But
the emperor still dimes at halfpast 5.

The ItaIIan eIass 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 jeal
ously were these guarded that many
Of them were lost entirely, and dur
ing the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turies Venetian glass retrograded 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.
