Nobody knows how old glass is,

1t that glass was accidentally d.scov-
cred by some old time Phoenicians,
returning In ship laden with natron
or soda. 1t would seem a storm came
up. and the Phoenicians were COM
PEELED to land on sandy tract. In
cooking they placed their utensils on
Jumps of natron, which, melted by
the fire, mixed with the sand and
formed glass. But. that's only one
story.
The best story about glass would
seem to me. II 1t were fully possible,

The postponed parade was carried
out Saturday morning to the delight
of all. TIE clowns were many and
their costumes were variagated and
amusing, the disguise in most cases
being complete. The "Merry Widow"
was the orowning feature of the
parade. She furnished merriment on
all sides the whole length of the
parade and after the clowns had their
picture taken and the chorus "How

"Merry Widow" performed produced
roars of side splitting laughter and
the yell of "What's the matter with

Next Week a Big One.

With the special rates offered by the
railroads on account of the G. A. r.
Encampment to be held here next
week Hot Springs should have the
biggest crowd of the SESSION, if not the
biggest ever. The veterans usually
turn out in large numbers and as they
want to come to the Hills from all over
the state, to see the sights and to visit
the state and National Homes, the at
tendance this year promises to out.do
all previous gatherings. They will
probably all spend about a week here
and many will remain much longer.
Many will also visit other PORTIONS Of
the Hills and enjoy the grandest
scenery to be found in all the west, not
excepting the famous Colorado aud
Montana grandeur.
The local committees have left
nothing undone and have everything
in readiness to properly care for all
who come, and entertain them right.

QUEER CEREMONIES
When the Gates Of Chinese Capital
City Are Closed.

To this day the great gates In the
walls OF Pekln are closed every even
ing with the queer ceremonies that
ave been observed for centuries past.
Says the Pekin and Tientsin Times:
The daily performance is marked
with due ceremony which is quaint
and full OF interest to the Intelligent
onlooker, as the closing by no means
signifies the mere bringing together
Of the heavy wooden doors and the
barring the emperor's highway against
all comers. At the appointed hour
preliminary signal is given by q
large gong or iron shield being struck
with a big iron bar fifty times in such
quick succession as almost TO defy cal
culation. and this is followed by 100
double strokes. commencing slowly
and dreamily for the first half and
gradually increasing to half hurricane
rapidly; and this set of 100 blows is
repeated in precisely the same fashion
three times. When the third and last
cycle OF gong strokes is entered on,
"a number OF old and. at this sason,
very much bewadded and muffled up
old Charles start series OF discord-
ant yells TO all and sundry to hasten
or they will be shut out, and this COM
blnation of signals is followed by
lostling stream OF people from both
directions.
Presently the rush slackens until
only solitary pedestrian, or possibly
man on donkey, full tilt, belatsd
ricksha, or heavily laden cart strag-
giles through. Then a movement is
made with the gates, yelling bursts
ont afresh and another rush ensues,
the gates being meanwhile half closed
and occasionally opened little way
again, until the outgoers having mean
while ceased, there Is a final scrim-
mage to get into the city, and the
process Of closing. which has taken
some half hour in ALL is concluded.
Then, the huge iron-plated doors
having changed to, q monster iron
pole is dragged up and placed across
Them on iron supports, being retained
In position by paddock OF enormous
proportions and OF the well-known
Chinese type. There are in all in the
city OF Pekln nineteen gates and the
same ceremony is observed at each.
but at such thoroughfares as the Hsta-
men there is naturally more traffic and
The process is probably proportionate-
ly longer"

six Sayings to Remember.

Out of large number of quotations
selected by its readers the Woman's
Home Companion prints the following
as the six most helpful notices for the
new year. They are worth remember
ing:
There is something better than
making a living; making life"
Our success in life depends upon
our will to do"
1T is never too late to be what you
might have been"
Great principles are IN small ac-
tions. If we fail in Our present cir
cumstances to live nobly, we need not
imagine We should have done better
on grander scale. Develop great
character in simple duties and in in
conspicuous trials"
ITO be of good cheer in case of dis
appointment; exercise greater charity
toward the erring, and make more al
lowance for the opinions of people
whose views differ from mine: 10
smile more and frown less"
ITO be honest; to be kind; to earn
a little and to spend a little less; to
make upon The whole a family happier
for his presence; to renounce, when
that shall be necessary, and not be en-
Filtered; to keep few friends, and
these without capitulatlon; above all,
on the same grim condition. to keep
friends with himself-here is task
for all that a man has of fortitude
AMI dellcdcy."

Passing Of a Famous saloon.

The passing of the "Silver Dollar
Saloon" OF New York city recalls 10
many the source from which II de-
rived its name. The saloon iecame ia
nous because of the fact the, the floor
was paved with silver dollars. In
the center OF each block OF marble
was inlaid a fiye-dollar gold piece
and at the four corners silver dollars
were embedded. II is estimated that
the wealth sunk in the floor amount
ed to $1,000. Silver Dollar Smith. the
original proprietor of the place. watch
the precious floor with the greatest
care, but when he died his widow had
the gold and silver removed. but be-
cause OF wear she got only about half
the original value.
