COSTLY SORT OF MATTRESS.

Kind Used on q Plate Glass Wagon
Ways OF Handling Plates.
Probably about as costly a sort Of
mattress as any Is one that is made
not to sleep on but to spread on the
long, broad table or platform Of the
wagons built for carrying plate glass.
These mattresses, which are made of
curled hair, are very thin, scarcely
thicker than comfortable, and must
be made with the greatest care to In
sure perfect uniformity of thickness.
A lump anywhere would be likely to
break the plate of glass resting upon
1t, and there would be still greater
danger If the weight of two plates of
glass was rested on the lump at once.
A mattress for a plate-glass wagon
costs according to size from $50 to $75.
In use the corners Of small plates car
ried on it cut into the ticking cover
ing, and sooner or later it has to be
made over. Simply to make over such
a mattress costs from 500 to $25.
On the table topped and mattress
, covered glass wagons the biggest plates
are carried with confidence and safety.
The table Is built to remain absolutely
rigid, and the thin but uniform mat
tress protects the plate from jar.
Before plate-glass store fronts had
come into common use, when the han
ding of a big plate was counted as
good deal more Of job than it is now
they used to carry a great pane Of
glass In q sort of frame, which was
put on the wagon with the glass, in it.
At it's destination this frame or sup
port was worked carefully across the
sidewalk to the store front, where the
glass was dislodged from it to be set !;
and altogether the setting of great
plate OF glass was then quite an under
| taking
Now, with the setting Of such plates
a common daily occurrence, and with
men skilled In the handling Of them,
they simply carry big plate out, lay
it on their mattress-covered, tabletop
ped wagon and carry it to where it is
to go, and there slide it off, to rest 1t
for a moment on blocks on the side
walk, and then they pick it up and
carry it to the window front
Then they run under the lower edge
of the glass lifting straps, by which
men standing inside the window as
well as men standing outside can lift
on it when the glass is put into place
| in the window frame There again 1t
| is raised on blocks until the straps
can be withdrawn, and then the blocks
are taken out and the glass secured in
place; all this being done with great
care, but still with comparative ease
and quickness, and with certainty, and
in these times great panes of glass are
thus moved and set on all but the win
diest days.-NeW York Sun.

quent rides out In the fresh air and
sunlight.
Ira looked at the cart, as If he
doubted Its strength, which expression
Edward at once understood.
"Come, Frank" he said, gently, "let
me help you into the cart, and show
Ira that it's to be trusted"
Carefully Edward ldaced bis crippled
brother In the cart; then, grasping the
pole, which served as a tongue, he
started away from the cabin.
Frank, although his pale face be-
trayed how much of the news Of the
Indian raid had frightened him, looked
back at the cowboy, as his brother
drew him away, and said:
THANK you, Ira, for warning us
about the Indians. Go on and try to
save others"
And his words had the ring Of an
heroic spirit.
He had perfect faith in Edwards
ability to take him safe to Bill
Skaggs', through whose kindness the
boys hoped to escape the Cheyennes.
Ira looked after them a second, then
called to Edward:
''Say. Ed, hadn't yer best take yer
pap's gun from Their cabin fore We
leave it fur klndlin' wood fur them
thievin' copperhides?"
Father took 1t with him to shoot
prairie chickens on the way to town, "
Edward replied.
well, Skaggs kin fit yer out, eff yer
need any shootin' irons"
So saying, he rode away on his noble
but perilous mission.
Edward started on a brisk trot,
making the cart spin along after him
over the rolling prairie. At any other
time the brothers would have enjoyed
the exercise. but now all pleasure was
swallowed up In the fears which they
could not help entertaining with re
gard to their approaching foes.
Often the boys would look ever their
shoulders toward the column of smoke
in the southwest. and both could tell
that every minute 1t was drawing
nearer to thnm-

in 1t toward uS?"
You're right, Ira," said Mr.. Bassett
In a choked voice. Its my boys
Thank God! They found refuge in the
old dug-out."
Almost wild with Joy, the father rode
toward the signal which Edward had
used to attract them.
In a few moments Edward and
Frank, weak and pale from their great
fright and long fasting, but safe, were
pressed to the heart Of the grateful
settler.-Montreal Star.

Edward jumped up and ran to the
corner OF the cabin, where he could
see In the direction to which Ira
pointed.
"All along the southwestern horizon
he could see great columns Of dense
smoke ascending, and rendering the
sunlight more hszy than was natural.
"Come, Ed" Ira called, Eyer must
git away frum hyar."
''Yes," answered the boy, evidently
sorely perplexed, 'Fbut how? Father
has the horses. 1 might run, but Frank
never could"
And his face was intensely troubled

an I'll ride back ter Skaggses with

THAT would delay you, Ira," said
Edward, thinking Of the unwarned
settlers. ''It's a mile to Bill Skaggs'
and you would have to ride all the
way back, and you might be too late tC
warn the people on Wolf Creek"
"But yer never kin manage ter gil

OBSERVANCE OF EASTER.
Discrepancy in Computing the Date

Discrepancy in Computing the Date
Not Corrected Until 1852.
The observance of Easter dates back
to about the year 6S, at which time
there was much contention among the
eastern and western churches as to
what day the festival should be OBJ
served. It was finally ordained at the
council of Nice in the year 325 that it
must be observed throughout the Chris
tian world on the same day. This de-
cision settled that Easter should be
kept upon the Sunday first after the
fourteenth day of the first Jewish
month, but no general conclusion was
arrived at as to the cycle by which
the festival was to be regulated, and
some churches adopted one rule and
some another This diversity of usage
was put an end to, and the Roman
rule making Easter the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day Of the calen-
dar moon was established in England
in $50. After nine centuries a dis
crepancy in the keeping Of Easter was
caused by the authorities of the Eng
Iish church declining to adopt the ref
ornation Of the Gregorian calendar in
1882. The difference was settled In
1852 by the adoption of the rule which
makes Easter day always the first Sun
day after the full moon which appears
on or next after the twenty-frst day
Of March. If the full moon happens
upon a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday

HOW TO Keen Eggs.

I have used the following recipe for
putting up eggs for winter use for
many years with perfect success: To
one pint of salt and one pint of fresh
lime add four gallons Of boiling water.
When cold put in wide-mouthed stone
jars. With a dish let your fresh eggs
into the jars, tipping the dish after it
fills with the fluid so the eggs will
roll out without cracking the shells.
Keep covered in cool place and they
will stay fresh for a year.-Planchette.

Fish Cakes.

Boil several good-sized potatoes and

potatoes are done put the fish in a

toes in a bowl, mash well and add q
good-sized lump Of butter. Cut good
salt pork to dice, fry it brown in a
