The Bishop Won the Marbles.

from the washington Herald.
MANY interesting stories are told of the
late Bishop Wilmer of Alabama, who was
noted for his wit and sharp repartee,"
said Robert w. Kennedy of Birmingham,
Ala, at the National. 'One which is
considered characteristic of the man was
told by a Virginia minister at private
dinner In Richmond not so very long ago.
When Bishop Wilmer was rector of
the little Protestant Episcopal church at
Upperville Va said he, he was much
worried by the non-attendance at service
ON Sundays of the majority of the young
men of the community On inquiry he
found that instead of going to church
they were in the habit of playing marbles
for stakes-marbles in those days. it must
be remembered, was a mucn more serious
game than 1t Is now, occupying much the
same position in the realm of sports as do
billiards and pool in these days.
bishop Wilmer, then a parson not
we'll known, determined to break up this
practice. He himself had been an expert
marble player in his boyhood. According
ly one Saturday he came across a number
Of the young men engaged in game.
The good bishop asked several questions
and finally challenged the lot to play him
for keeps" They readily consented
T" Much to their establishment the young
minister won steadily, and soon they had
to so to the stores and replenish their
stock. Toward the close of the afternoon
Mr.. Wilmer had won every marble in the
town of Upperville. Putting his winnings
in a bag he remarked as he walked away,
Now, gentlemen. since you can't play
marbles tomorrow, hope to see you all
at church" And he DID,"

From Tit Bits.
81, This is the age of prodigies. In the
world of art, on the stage and con-
Acert platform, and even in the pulpit,
children have been astonishing the
world with their genius and earning
& incomes calculated to arouse the envy
esof the most successful business man.
z 1T is only a few weeks ago since it
4 was announced that among the eX-
hibitors at the French salon this year
Is a 12-year-old artist named Marcel
I.avallard, the son of haberdasher,
who commenced to paint pictures when
he was 6.
This Is the first time in the history
of the French salon that so young
an artist has exhibited although a few
when he was nearly 1S. Lavallard's
success recalls that of Tada Styka, a
boy painter of IS, who had two can
Vases accepted by the salon five years
*ngo and the work of Viscount De
Scissors whose water-co1ors and oil
paintings were exhibited at the Dore
Gallery in 1904. The young viscount
was then 16, and in addition to at
tracing much attention on account of
his skill as an artist he has gained
q big reputation as an author, having
written several serial stories.
English painters appear to be some
what less precocious than their French
comrades. Edwin Landseer, it is true,
was admitted to the Academy at the
age of 13, but Mr.. Walter Crane was
already Is and Mr.. Marcus Stone, Mil
lais and Watts II before they secured
the coveted honor.
1t is to the stage and concert platform,
however, to which one must turn to find
the most remarkable examples of pre-
cocious genius. Whether the numberless
child actors and musicians who have
made their debut lately will fulfill the
promise of their early years remains, of
course. to be seen; but the present and
past history of acting and music contains
some remarkable instances of clever chill
dren who have continued to win fame year
after year throughout life.
There was Jenny Lind for instance,
who at or years of age, astounded
everybody with the purity of her voice
and her wonderful skill in it's manage

The Piano a
Home Necessity

NDER the modern system OF edu-
cation and conditions of society
- knowledge of music is today
as much a part of education for both
boys and girls as a knowledge of
grammar, mathematics or any ordi-
nary study, and with it comes the de-
mand for a piano.
As to household economy, while the
piano represents more money than
many single articles, it gives more in
return for the outlay. Under the
hands OF even an ordinary player it
provides entertainment for family and
friends, makes home more attractive
for the children, and develops a re-
fnement and culture that cannot be
obtained from books alone.
With improved systems Of manufac-
ture the piano has been greatly I'M
proved in quality and reduced inNprice,
and 1t is possible for families of most
limited means to own one. Good peo-
pie will economic to provide their
children with education, and that GER
tainly includes the knowledge of
music.
The piano has passed from luxury
to household necessity. No home
Is furnished without one

MACHINE THAT BLOWS GLASS
American Engineer Said to Have In
vented Really Practical Labor
Saving Device.

Common, ordinary window glass is
one of the few industrial products of
which the method of making has prac-
tically remained stationary.
From time to time attempts have
been made to use mechanical appara-
tus for blowing the glass, but the re-
suits have been unsatisfactory and the
old method has persisted.
The workman blows cylinder of
glass, which is then split open length
wise and carried to furnace, where
it opens out under the influence of the
heat. A slow process, consequently
expensive, and above all injurious to
the health of the blowers.
Now an American engineer has just
invented simple machine for which,
when certain difficulties are overcome,
great success is hoped. The glass is
made like paper, then sheet of the
paste is drawn vertically from the tub,
and this a horizontal cylinder carries
over an endless table, then into an an
healing furnace, from which comes
forth an uninterrupted band of glass,
that can be cut off in desired lengths.
One of the greatest difficulties in
this method is to prevent the glass
paste from growing thinner by its own
weight as it is drawn from the tub.
This problem has been solved by plac-
ing in the tub two balls that rotate
rapidly from the bottom to the top,
which has the effect of continually
drawing masses of glass towards the
top, thus counteracting the tendency
to string down and contract.
With this new method single fur
mace can produce II tons of glass
every "a hours, and all it's service re-
quires is Waterman, cutter and two
boys to take away the panes.
By the present method of blowing,
it would take "A men to produce the
same result.
