Cannon Made OF Glass.

One Of the last things in the world,
sas a writer Of the March Strand
Magazine, which one would expect
+ the glass-worker to create would be
a cannon; yet Messrs. Thomas Webb
and Sons, of Strourbridge, England,
recently built two cannon out OF the
finest cut glass. The guns weigh, with
their timber, forty pounds each and
measure twenty-four inches in length.
They wheel easily and move on their
trunnions like ordinary cannon. The
axle-tree and bearings are Of orna-
mental brass. The creations may claim
to be of some historic interest in that
they are exact models OF the famous
ordinance with which Major-General
Baden-P Powell successfully defended
Mafeking. The old cannon was dug
up in that place during the siege, and
investigation has since shown that
this old cannon was cast in Stat
fordshire, at an iron works within ten
minutes walk Of the glass-maker's es-
tablishment During the siege the gun
was known as "The Lord Nelson"
and Skipping Eally," the officers u.s.
ing the former name and the men the
latter.

them to the public market. She went
home with loaded basket but before
leaving them she clasped their hands
in hers and repeated over and over:
II knew that dear Christ would
help me; [ knew that dear Christ
would help me; [ knew He would"
The next day the artist and the
little woman in brown had few stale
crusts of bread for their Christmas
dinner. They had no visitors to see
the Christ picture; everyone was too
busy celebrating His birth to look
upon His painting and the artist who
thought to give the world a clearer,
more exalted conception of that won
derful character, was forgotten in the
general rejoicing over His birth. And
the little woman in broWn-since the
visit of the Armenian, the fire would
burn. She covered it up, crushed it
down and tried to stamp it out. "I
knew that dear Christ would help
me. " She, too, had prayed. Why
should one woman's prayer be an
swered and another's not?
The winter was gone, their means
were exhausted. How many days had
those calm, sorroWful eyes Of the
Christ looked down upon her sitting
alone, waiting for some one to come
and by paying the small fee charged,
so feed them? She remembered how
one afternoon, she had prevailed upon
the artist to lie down. The weather
was bitter cold, she was thankful that
their rooms were warmed for them
and cold was not added to hunger for
they had eaten nothing since the
morning before. She thought no one
would brave the cold and storm but
while the artist slept a visitor en-

wait for the visitor to go. He stayed
for what seemed to her a century Of
time; examining, talking, asking ques-
tons then when at last he went, she
hurried out to purchase food for the
artist and herself. All, that was all
over now. The marvellous Christ pic
ture with the wonderful face which
had helped so many was rolled up and
put away. A great many had seen it,
some had paid, others had not. They
could not turn any who came away.
"Was it not His work they were do
ing?" said the artist "Did He ever
turn any away?" But it takes money
to travel from one city to another, to
hire rooms and show pictures and
they had none. So there they stayed,
the painting in its case, out Of sight,
the artist trying to find some one who
would give him an order for a smaller
picture and they, two, living won

them, she poured out such prayer
as made her nearer clutch her hands
together and shut her teeth hard.
The prayer was IN an unknown ton
que, but was not the heart speaking?
Did not her heart answer? The fire
IN her eyes and face began to glow,
the ashes were being raked aside,
God s free air was kissing it, flaming
it, soon it would blaze. Cover it up,
crush it out, stamp it down; fires
must not burn, eyes must be dry, lips
steady and hearts cold while one
works and waits and longs for that
which never comes.
The prayer was ended, the arms
were lowered and the head Of the wo-
man sank closer and closer to the
floor. She lay quiet for long time;
no one came in and the woman by
the table neither moved nor spoke.
She, too, was beggar, only in a diff
ferent way and for different thing
She, too, had knelt and prayed and
fallen PROSTATE but that was when
the fires had leaped up. Better keep
the lips together, the body upright,
the head erect and stamp out the fire
before one is consumed.
The woman rose, her boy with her,
and came forward Her cheeks were
still wet, her lips trembled. "Good-
bye,' she said and would have passed
out.
The other held out a OBTAINING
hand. ''No, do not 60 yet; I want to
talk to you. Tell me your name, your
story, where you live"
Rising, she moved little back from
the table where two chairs were
placed near together, bade the woman
seat herself in one while she took the
other and listened.
The story told in language so
broken as to be almost unintelligible
was this; they were Armenians,
driven from their own country by the
prosecutions there. They had been
told that they could pick up gold in
the streets of America. Instead Of
that, her husband, unused to hard
labor, had obtained employment dig
g1ng bitches; he had caught cold,
pneumonia set in, then consumption
he could live but little while, their
rent was due, they were to be evicted,
she thought she might beg enough to
pay their rent. 1t was the first time
she had ever begged, but what could
she do? She told where they lived, a
room in the worst quarter Of the city,
rising to go.
"I thank you," she said. IT go
happy. know that dear Christ will
help me. I have prayed to Him; He
will help me, know He will. I go
home now. Goodbye, lady, goodbye;
I thank you"
Later the artist came in and the
woman in brown told him of the Ar
menian and her prayer.
Tomorrow is Christmas" she
said. "Let us go tonight and see if
her story is true. If it is, let us buy
them something to eat"
