The Alpine Good Night.

Among the lofty mountains and ele-
waited valleys of Switzerland the Alpine
horn has another use besides that of
sounding the far famed 'Ranz des
vaches,'' or COW song, and this is of a
very solemn and impressive nature.
When the sun has set in the valley
and the snowy SUBMITS of the noun
tains CLEAN with golden light the
herdsman who dwells upon the highest
habitable spot takes his horn and pro-
nounces clearly and loudly through it,
as through speaking trumpet, "Praise
the Lord God" AS soon as the sound
is heard by the neighboring herdsmen
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same
words. This frequently lasts quarter
of an hour, and the call resounds from
all the mountains and rocky cliffs
around. When silence again reigns
the herdsmen kneel and pray with I'M
covered heads. Meantime it has be-
come quite dark. Good nightw at last
calls the highest herdsman through his
horn. The words resound from all the
mountains, the horns of the herdsmen
and the cliffs, and the mountaineers
then retire to their dwellings.

A Story Showing How Foolish It Is TO

A young lawyer moved into a town

A close listed old farmer thought
there was good chance to get some
legal advice from the young man
gratis, so he dropped into his office,
told hinf how glad he was that he had
come into town, because the old judge
was getting superannuated, and con-
trived in the course of his talk to get
the legal Information he wanted, and
then bidding him good morning he was
about to leave when the young man
asked for his fee. what for?" said
the old man. For legal advice" re-
piled the young lawyer. "How much
is it?" "Five dollars" The farmer
declared he would never pay 1t, and
the young lawyer told him If he didn't
he would sue him. So the farmer
trotted down to see the old judge,
whom he found hoeing in his gar
den, and said, Judge, went this

Charlie Remembered Her Well.

A young woman of social promi-
nence and responsibility was to unite
with the church in her home town and
desired the ordinance of baptism by
immersion in the river. Among the
number that gathered to witness the
baptism was a little boy friend,
Charlie, about four years old. The pro-
ceedings were entirely new to the
child, and he looked on with strange
curiosity as the candidate was led into
the river. The spring freshets had
made the river somewhat turbulent,
and it was with difficulty that the min
lister maintained his footing. During
the following week the young woman
called at the home of his family and
after the usual greetings said to the
little boy as she extended her hand:
"Come here, Charlie, and see me.
You do not know who l am, do your
she continued.
''Yes, indeed, do" said the boy.
''You is that woman that went in
swimmin' with the minister on Sun
day."-Judge's Library.

VENETIAN GLASS.
The Different Varieties and the Proc
ess of Manufacture.

SSS VI
Venetian glass owes it's extreme
thinness and lightness to the want Of
lead in its composition. All the orna-
mental shapes were blown and owed
their beauty to the skillful manipula-
ton of the worker, whose delicacy Of
touch and artistic taste were often a
heritage from generations Of glass
blowing ancestors.
The most priced of the Venetian pro-
ductions was the beautiful "vitro-di-
trina" or lace glass, generally known
as filigree. OF this there are two kinds,
the ''ritorto'' and the "reticelli."
The former was the less elaborate
and consisted of single tube twisted
and given a spiral, direction, the
ground of the vessel being of a differ
ent color The "reticelli' designs were
varied. Sometimes the twisted tubes
were powdered with gold and made
vertical, horizontal, diagonal or curved.
Indeed, every variation was given that
ingenuity could suggest or fancy de-
vise
Aventurine glass was invented by
the Venetians, it's secret being discov-
cred by the accidental dropping Of
brass or copper filings into pot of
melted glass, which resulted in the diff
fusion of gold specks or threads
throughout the mass. Its name is said
to signify adventure, or resulting from
chance, a word half Italian, but coined
probably for the occasion to denote the
peculiar variety.
Marbled or variegated glass was
made to resemble chalcedony, jasper,
lapis lazuli and tortoise shell. There
was a kind of green and purple which
became red by transmission of light.
A frosty glass which showed an icy
coating was made by dipping the YES
sci when half blown in pounded glass,
the particles of which readily adhered
to the warm mass, which was reheated
and wrought into shape.
Sometimes pounded glass of differ
ent colors was used with fine effect up
on the same object These. with deli
cately gilded glass and some ornament
ed with jewel patterns like those Of
Damascus, formed the principal kinds
of Venetian glass, which was too thin
for engravings and could rarely bear

FIRST CHAIN CABLES.
They SuppIanted the Use of Hempen
Rope on Warshps.

Rope on Warships.
The first man who succeeded in max
ing a useful chain cable was Robert
Tlinn, and he experimental with it in
1908 in a small ship named the Anne
and Isabella, of 300 tons burden. His
cable was made of very short links,
with no stay pins or studs, says the
London Globe, but it served it's pur-
pose and was, moreover, favorably re-
ported upon by some of the progressive
saamen of the time.
At about the same period a lieuten-
ant in the navy named Samuel Brown
was also experimenting with chain ca
bles made of twisted links, and this
when it was duly patented he brought
to the attention of the navy board.
After much discussion 1t was decided
to give Lieutenant Brown the COM
mand of a sailing vessel, the Penelope,
and send him. on voyage to Marti-
nique and Guadeloupe. At his own ex-
pense he was to supply chain cables
for the ship, and they were to be ex-
ing the four months the ship was away
the new cables were given thorough
trial and proved quite satisfactory.
When Brown made his report q COM
mittee was appointed to advise as to
the adoption of the chain cable in place
Of the hempen, and as a result the new
tackle was gradually introduced into
men-of-war. Between 1910 and 1911
the first chain cables were served out
to the ships, but the full complement
of hempen ropes was still retained
This system remained in force until
1914. when the number of hempen ca
bles was reduced to three, and in 1S47
a further change was ordered, two
hempen cables only being retained as
principal mooring tackle.
During the Russian war the superior
ity of chain cables was amply demon
strated on many occasions. The YES
sells were exposed to the gales and hur'
ricanes of the Baltic and the Black sea,
but whereas the men-ofwar with these
chains were able to keep their moor
ings in the toughest weather many OF
the merchantmen transports, fitted on
ly with hempen ropes, broke away and
met with disaster. And so an ancient
industry, one which in early days was
almost monopoly in Dorsetshire, was
placed infinitely in secondary rank.
No act of parliament such as that of
Henry VIII. ordaining that mo person
but the inhabitants only shall make
cables could bring back the prosper
ity to Bridport which that town had
enjoyed in the earliest days of Eng
lands naval glory. A modern battle
ship carries four main cables and an
chors, each costing about f1,200. This
gives her total of 450 fathoms Of
chain cable.-London Globe.
