The German legend tells US that
ugcs ago an old man went one Sun
day morning into the forest TO cut
timber (hcw stick). He cut bundle
OF fagots and swung them over his
shoulder and began to trudge home.
On the way hc met remarkable
looking individual with a face as
bright us the sun. "Do YOU know,
old man. that il is Sunday on earth,
when all men rest from their la
borsY' asked the stranger. SUNDAY
ON earth or Monday in hell, il is all
the same to me" said the hardened
old wretch.
"rhcn bear your bundle forever"
said the stranger rs he vanished
from sight. \ moment later the old
sinner and his fagots were deposited
ON the moon, whore they stand TO
this day, a perpetual warning to all
Sabbath breakers.

CHINA AND GLASSWARE.
When Broken, Don't Be Too hasty In
Throwing II Away.

Throwing II Away.
Because glassware, china and bric-
a-brac get broken is no reason for
throwing them away, for unless some
Of the pieces are lost they can be
patched and glued together and
made TO look like new, il one is
careful to fit the edges closely to-
gether. They should be practical
for use, too, if water or liquid are
not left standing in them.
Clear glass is the most difficult OF
these to mend because it must be
done so expertly to prevent the
crack from showing.
The best kind Of glue for clear
glass is made from solution oil
two ounces Of isinglass and half a
pint of gin poured into an open
mouthed bottle and set in the sun
until il dissoyes. 1t should be
shaken well every day and before
being used should be strained
through a clean lawn cloth.
When ready for the gluing the
broken glass pieces should be well
washed in hot suds, especially on
the edges, dried, and then with
small camel's hair brush the cement
should be put on the edges Of both
pieces and when they are nicely fit
ted together rubber bands or clean
strips of cloth should be bandaged
tightly around them to hold the
edges well together until the glue
dries.
If the cement has been properly
made the break should really not be
visible when dry, for the reason
many cracks look jagged when
mendcd is because the edges have
not been well joined and, bubbles
Of air getting IN, reflect the light,
making the ragged, broken lines
glaringly apparent.
Bric-a-brac that is part metal and
glass should not be 80 difficult Ia
fix over, particularly where the two
materials meet, for often n paste OF
siftcd plastcr Of paris mixed with
the beaten white Of an egg will
make them a. strong and good as
new. This work must be- done quick
". for within five minutes after
putting it on the pieces il hardens
and holds the metal and glass or
china tightly together.
Two metal pieces should be
mcndcd with solder. TO do this the
edge. should first be carefully dust
cd, washed il they are very dirty
and rosin brushed over them. Then
when fitted well together and tied
in place stick of solder should be
laid above the break aud n hot iron
brought down lightly on il. When
the solder cools the melted rosin
may be removed with u cloth dipped
in alcohol,

The young pastor was examining

MEERSCHAUM PIPES.
Americans, Il Seems. Do Not Make or
Keep Them Right

"You don't see the best meer-
schaum pipes in this country" said
German pipe dealer who learned
his trade in Vienna.
"Why? Because the Americans
are in too big hurry-haven't time
to take care of a meerschaum
haven't even time to learn how.
When the American is through
smoking he knocks his pipe on the
heel Of his shoe to remove the
ashes, shoves it in the most handy
pocket and is on the run.
"Now, in the old country man
takes his pipe seriously, very seri-
ously. lie expects his meerschaum
to last him a lifetime and then be
in good repair to hand down to mis-
heir. The pipe is passed from gen.
Grafton to generation, and it is OIL
ways handled as carefully as new
born babe. The smoker never
touches the bowl while it is warm.
That would spoil the fine, glossy
color. When the German has com
pleted his serious and meditative
smoke his pipe is laid very carefully
away where II will cool properly and
without danger of scratching. lie
does not ram it into his pocket
with other miscellaneous articles,
as the rushing American does. lie
takes his time and gives IL his care
and attention.
"The best meerschaum pipes in
the old country are made Of soft
meerschaum and are hand carved
Then they are boiled in bceswax.
The soft meerschaum absorbs the
wax. The fine color is produced by
the wax and the nicotine combin.
ing. When the pipe is smoked the
wax softens from the heat. That Is
why the pipe should not be touched
while warm. Touching mars the
gloss.
"The American manufacturer
does not carve or polish them by
hand. The work is done by ma.
chimes. The soft meerschaum, II
treated that way, would break, SO
hard meerschaum, a low grade, Il
used. The hard clay will not alb
sorb beeswax, so il is boiled in
glycerin. The most beautiful colors
cannot be produced with glycerin.'

An Italian prince had strictly for
hidden one of his daughters to
smoke, but so great hold had the
habit obtained over her that she
secretly engaged in the practice at
every opportunity. One day she
was indulging in cigarette as she
reclined on a balcony attired in a
dress of the lightest muslin. Sud
denly her father appeared on the
scene. In the hurry to hide the
evidence of her disobedience the
princess placed her hand with the
burning cigarette behind her back.
The result was startling and tragic.
Her frock was Immediately in .
blaze. and she was fearfully burned
from head TO foot, dying after suS-

A NATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Dramatic Scene At The Degradation Of
Captain Dreyfus.

Captain Dreyfus.
Nine o'clock; General Darras
draws his sword; orders ring out;
the infantrymen shoulder arms;
the sabers of the cavalry CLEAN; at
the far edge of the field little
group appears. 1t is made up of
four artillerymen in somber dol
mans. In the center is Dreyfus,
the light flashing on his sword, on
the three gold galloons that mark
his rank. Beside him strides the
adjutant of the guard, the execu-
toner Of the military decree, a
giant Of q man, cloaked, plumed,
glorious. The little group comes
obliquely across the naked field.
The traitors" step is firm, his head
is high, his left hand grasps the hilt
Of his sword. Without the mob
lifts its dull clamor, the sulky growl
Of 5000 alcoholic throats. Where
the general sits on his horse the
little group halts. The cannonecrs
fall back, and Dreyfus stands alone.
Very small he seems; motionless,
cut in steel. And the general
speaks:
"Dreyfus, YOU are unworthy 70
bear arms. In the name of the
French republic | degrade you"
Then the desolate man raises
suddenly his arms to heaven and
cries with loud voice, 81 nm inno-
cent?
As sudden is the roar that comes
from the Latin mob, surging
against the iron fence, "Deathp'
and "Judasw and "rraitorw A si-
lence more terrible than the roar
Of the mob falls as the executioner
steps forward, strips of the epau-
lets, the gold braid, the gold but
tons-cnsigns Of mans honor
and breaks across his knee the sol.
dier's sword. And Dreyfus stands
immobile, beaten upon by all the
winds of fate. Only when the sword
snaps in twain a great cry comes
from him--a male cry, sonorous and
stern:
"On the heads Of my wife and
children swear | am innocent! |
swear II! Viye la Francc!"
And the mob, in the streets, at
the gates, on the roof tops, howls;
"Deathl Deathp IL Is the an
swer Of France. The parade begins.
The little group is led now by two
officers OF the Republican guard.
Slowly il passes the long files Of the
soldiery. just beyond sword reach
lest an impulsive saber should reach
the "traitor's" heart. The little
man Is dressed in black rags now.
But he marches steadily, his head
erect. There is not n quivcr in him,
so firm is his drilled courage of Il
soldier. When he passes the fence,
behind which the mob seethcs, ho
cries once more his innocence and
"Vive In France" What he says
they cannot hear, but they answer
him with erucifying elamor, TO
the journalists he says, "roll
France ! am innocent And they
call him "Judas" and traitor" Not
once does he lower his head in this
grim parade Of agony. Not once
does he give way to fear or anger.
As though he had made himself
iron, he passes, proclaiming his
guiltless honor and his love for
France.-Vance Thompson in Sue
cess Magazine.

ANOTHER rRUSN.

Only few days ago the great
furniture trust of the Northwest
was exposed and broken up, and
Judge Wolverton was not done
passing sentence on the violators
of the law when the Portland Jour
nal laid bare the acts and extortions
of another combinC-the plumbers
of Portland one of the most vii
lainous schemes ever devised to rob
all unsuspecting people. The Jour
nal estimates that this infamous
combination has robbed the builders
of blocks and dwelling houses OF
S8t 600 during the last five months.
For some time past people began to
suspect that there was something
wrong when they called for bids
from these gentlemen. They knew
that their prices were enormous
about double what they used to be
but they were put off by the
statement that the price of iron had
so advanced that il was impossible
To sell their wares at the old prices
and not only that, but that all the
material used in plumbing had also
advanced, and the poor victim
would call on another establishment
only to get precisely the same fig
urcs again. When any new firm
refused TO join the combine he was
forced into It by the others. The
wholesalers refused TO furnish him
goods, and he had TO either throw
in his lot with the others OF go out
of business.
Now what is to be doncp Will
this combine be allowed to go on
robbing the people in defiance OF
the lawp We hope not There is
no good reason why this trust can
not be- busted" rs well as the fur
niturc trust. Let il be done.
