BAD SLEEPING HABITS.
Snoring. Grinding the Teeth and

Man is the victim of bad habits IL
his sleep as well as in his waking

these bad habits of sleep that they

separate rooms, even at times causing
divorce.
Snoring is of course the commonest

Snoring may be remedied. There are q

the mouth shut tight prevent the

LEAD GLASS.
The Processes by which 1t Is Cut
and Polished.

Designs to be followed by the cutter
are first drawn on the blank or plain
glass with whiting and water and then
traced with red lead and turpentine.
The first cutting is classed as rough
ing in the glass factory, when the
glass is cut or ground out wherever
there is red line. The first cutting
or rouChing is with soft steel disk on
which there flows a small stream of
water and very fine sand. The disk Is
IN a lathe, and the glass Is held by
the hands Of the cutter, and on his
ability TO firmly hold thS glass and

instead of shattering or breaking like

From the roughing or first cutting
the article being cut goes to the
smoothing process, the same lines or
cutting being followed on two stone
disks, one of Graigleigh or gas stone
imported from England and the other
of blue stone, the finest cutting being
done with the latter The polishing Is
done with wooden disks, from which
the glass goes to an acid bath and
thence back to the polisher, who uses
chemical compound like putty, and
finally to Il felt disk or wheel, then the
brush wheel and finally the wash with
