of manufacture, however, is highly in teresting and not unpicturesque.
 The glass used for the purpose is contained in a white-hot liquid state, in enormous brick-coyered circular tanks, beneath which are the furnaces. All round the sides, at regular inter- yals through small arched openings. glimpses may be caught of the molten glass within Beside each of these openings stands a man armed with a long iron pipe.
 When about to start to make a bot tie, the workman thsusts the end of his blow-pipe into the glass, at the same time twisting it round and round This causes small blob of liquid to adhere to the end Quickly drawing this out into the open air, the bottle maker applies the other end to his mouth and blows in a small quantity of air. As contact with the open air rapidly cools the glass and renders it too tough to be susceptible to the in- fuence of air pressure, it is again thrust into the heat of the furnace. the operator rotating the blow-pipe during eAAAS cPSA0NiOh III OIucT IO pEtfSul lIle re-melting glass from dropping of. Upon withdrawing it a second time a still larger bubble of air is injected, and after another visit to the heat of the furnace the glowing bubble of glass is placed in the bottle mould.
 The bottle moulds are made in two,i halves which spring apart at the neck to allow of the insertion of the glass, and are closed by means of a foot pedal which the glass blower operates at the same time that he blows sufi- cient air down the blow-pipe to force out the superhuous glass and shape the bottle.
 The red-hot bottle, still adhering to the end of the blow-pipe, is then with drawn, each worker marking the bot ties made by himself with his own par dcular mark with piece of chalk for subsequent identification, z
 The neck is then severed with a steel instrument, the bottle falling into the basket below.
 The glass-blower. who works on piece-work, and is paid by the number of bottles he produces, has now noth- ing further to do with the bottle. which. however, has to undergo a fur ther process known as annealing. For this purpose the bottles, while still of i a dull red heat, are placed on racks in

MY PEI h9NGOOSE
TRUE LIFE ROMANCE FROM THE
 LAND OF INDIA.
An Experience with Deadly Cobra Which Was Horrible While it Lasted, Bat Which Ended
 Happily.

The incident about to be relatedl cells of sudden appearance of death and of strange deliverance. It hap pened in India, and was told the writer by one who knew the hero of it. First must be introduced the one whom the story mainly concerns. He was at the time employed in an official capacity connected with the railway, and was living in an out-of-the-way station, in part well known to be in- fested with snakes
 One night the official, half.waking from his sleep, became conscious that he had been the victim of nightmare. In his dreams 1t seemed to him that a great weight had beea laid on his body. Every time he breathed he felt 1t pressing on his chest, until bit by bit he awakened to discover that hea was lying on his back.
 The conviction that he had suffered from a nightmare was still on his mind, and he idly turned his eyes around his room, now faintly illumi- mated in the early morning light. Then his thoughts turned to the thing that had oppressed hin in his dreams. Con. sciousness had not removed it. Al every breath he felt tlsat he was rais- ing some mysterious and heavy object.
 He stretched out his hand and en- countered an icy coldness; at the same time an angry hiss fell on his ears, and be drew his hand back quick ly. Scarcely two feet from his eyes he saw the hooded, brown and yellow striped head of cobra. He felt the bead-like eyes pierce him through and
