GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

The little tug Powhatan is hauled out on
the marine railway at Benefits boatyard
for cleaning caulking and painting of hull
and for general overhauling of her boiler
and engine. A new rudder is to be made
for the boat and will be put on her before
she Is launched. The Powhatan, when the
work on her is completed, will be used in
the work of demolishing the old Long bridge
and will be employed on that charter the
greater part of the summer. The little tug
was in service all the winter, except for a
few days when the ice would not let her
run, as tender to the plant employed in
laying the big sewer pipe in the bed of the
river at the trunk sewer outlet between this
city and Alexandria. She damaged her
rudder in working in the shallow water Of
the flats at the sewer outlet site.

Sheets in Scotland.

The custom Of sleeping in one
large sheet, doubled at the foot,
seems to have been peculiar to Scot
land and to have made special i'm
preston on more than one English
traveller. Fynes Moryson, writing in
1898, says, 'They used but one
sheet, open at the sides and top, but
closed at the feet and so doubled"
and John Ray, the naturalist, who
visited Scotland about 1862, re-
marked that at is the manner in
some places there to lay on but one
sheet as large as two, turned up
from the feet upward" The prac-
tice, 1 imagine, was continued until
recent times, and 1 have when boy
slept in a sheet of the kind. Such
pieces of linen were termed

Didn't Expset Him.

1t seems to be the ambition of all
young wives to look well when any
one calls. A young bride heard a
ring at the front door. The maid
was out, and she rushed upstairs to
arrange her toilet little before ad-
hitting the caller. There was a
moment of lightning work before
the dressing table. Quicker than
it takes to tell it ribbon was fas-
tened to her throat, flower stabbed
into her hair, a flash of powder on
her face and she was at the door
all smiles and bushes. The "gen-
tleman" said he had the cheapest
clotheslines that could be bought
for the money!

This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim
Made for DOan's Kidnsy..PiIIs in
Brownsville.

Relief from the pains and aches
of bad back is always welcome
to every backache sufferer; but tc
cure lame. weak or aching back
is what's wanted. Cure it so il
will stay cured. 1t can be done.
Here's the strongest evidence tc
prove it:
c. H. Hoencke, of 2319 Nc
Kinney Ave. Houston, Tex,
manufacturer and dealer in barrels
since 1872. says: For about a
year I had more or less trouble
with my kidneys. 1t was caused
by cold or by straining my back.
I had much lumbage, and when
ever 1 made a sudden movement
1 felt a sharp darting pain through
my kidneys. Ny back was often
so lame and sore that I could not
stoop without suffering severely.
The kidney secretions scalded and
were very scant in quantity. 1
used remedy after remedy but
found little benefit until 1 got
Doan's Kidney Pills on the advise
of friend who had been cured.
By the time 1 had taken half the
box the backache had disappeared
and the secretions were clear and
natural. 1 have advised many
others to use this remedy and al
ways keep a supply in the house. "

STAINED GLASS.
The Art of Making 1t Originated
With the Chinese.

VIII AAtC OHitiSSCs
Glass is of very ancient origin,
having probably been discovered by
the ancient Egyptians about the
year 5000 B. c. But it is to the
Chinese that we owe the discovery
Of the beautiful stained glass Of
early times.
The first glass staining was done
by this race about 2OOOFB. c., ac-
cording to some authorities, and not
until after the Christian era, ac-
cording to others. At any rate, how
ever, the art was original with the
Chinese.
The Egyptians made sham jewels
of glass at least 5000 or 5000 B. c..
In some of the most ancient tombs
scarabs of glass have been found
initiating rubies, emeralds, sap
phires and other precious stones,
and the glass beads found broadcast
in three parts of the globe were
quite possibly passed off by Phoeni-
clan traders upon the confding bar
barian as jewels of great price.
Of the use of glass in windows
there is not very ancient mention.
The climate of Greece and Egypt and
the way of life there gave little oc-
casion for it. But at Herculaneum
and Pompei there have been found
fair sized slabs of window glass, not
of very perfect manufacture and
probably at no time very translu-
cent.
Remains also of what was pre-
sumably window glass have been
found among the ruins of Roman
villas in England. In the basilicas
of Christian Rome the arched win
dow openings were sometimes fill
ed with slabs of marble, in which
were piercings to receive glass
(which may or may not have been
colored), foreshadowing, so to speak,
the plate tracery of early Gothic
windows.
Stained and painted glass, exist
ing as we find it in medieval win
dows, probably dates back to Charlie
magne, 800 A. D., but it may safely
be said not to occur earlier than the
holy Roman empire.
At the date of the Norman con-
quest stained glass windows can no
longer have been uncommon, but
psychologists appear to be agreed
that no complete window of the
ninth or tenth century has been
preserved and that even of the
eleventh there is nothing that can
be quite certainly identified.
The great mass of early Gothic
glass belongs to the thirteenth CEN
fury, and when one speaks of early
glass it is usually thirteenth century
glass which is meant.-Scrap Book.
