Miqht Come In Handy.

A charming Louisville girl, the daugh-
ter of a minister, has always been
famed for her habit Of saving things
because they may come in handy, and
last summer the family told a story
on her which she would give d good
deal to suppress. She had been away
at White Sulphur Springs and, being
especially popular, had become the re-
cipient of such a variety of souvenirs
that before coming home she sent one
trunk ahead in which she put many of
the various trinkets for her smaller
brothers and sisters and some summer
frocks which had become too faded for
a Her mother industriously I'M
packed the trunk and finally, when
reaching the bottom, was transfixed to
find several hundred poker chips and
about half a dozen decks of cards.
When her Mortified father later de-
handed an explanation the daughter
quite innocently and unconsciously
said:
"Why, father, they We're left in the
room | was occupying by some former
occupant, and l just took them because
l thought they might come in handy"
And even the minister smiled at her
explanation.-Louisville Times.

Take the garden rake and

that pile of ashes collected
during the winter and remove
it far hence so that your yard

living there. There is no
place like home, therefore
make it beautiful, delightful,

A Tart Answer.

The Rev. John Mcneil was holding
a revival service at Cardiff, Wales, and
announced that he would answer any
question about the Bible. At once a
note was sent up to him reading as
follows:
Dear Mr.. McNeill-If yoU are seek
ing to help young men, kindly tell me
who was Gains wife"
That seemed a poser, and the audi
ence waited with intense interest, tenn
pered with amusement, to see how the
good man would extricate himself.
After a pause he said:
Il love young men, especially young
inquirers for light, and | would give
this young man a word of advice. 1t
is this: Don't lose your souls salvation
looking after other peoples wives"

Satisfied.

One evening a very tall man went
to the theater and took a prominent
seat in the third or fourth row from
the stage. Before the curtain rose a
cry of down in 'front.'" became gen
eral from behind. The tall man, find
ing the eyes of the entire audience
turned toward him, felt obliged to do
something, and so he proceeded to
raise himself to a standing position
in such a manner, however, as to con
vey an impression that there was no
end to him. He was, in fact, nearly
seven feet high, and when at last he
had risen to his full height he slowly
glanced around at the astOnished au-
dience and very deliberately remarked:

followed, amidst which the manager.

BLOWING BOTTLES.
Processes Through Which Even the
Most Ordinary Must Go.


Although the oldest bottles
known were made of skins, glass
bottles containing wine are repre-
sented on Egyptian monuments
which are more than 1000 years
old, while as early as Pharaoh of
the Exodus there were bottles made
~onze, silver, gold, porcelain
..abaster, which from their SUI
Ier.or craftsmanship and elegant de-
sign go to prove that even at that
period the art of bottle making was
by no G in it's infancy. The
early history of the bottle is some
what meager, owing no doubt to the
fact that the true bottle has never
been a thing of much beauty, ex-
cept in a few rare instances, but
rather a humble vessel of no in
trinsic value.
Bottles are made today in stu
pendous quantities and + of all
sorts, sizes and descriptions. In the
manufacture of a common bottle
either sand, soap boilers waste,
brick clay or other materials, ac-
cording to locality, r used. Hav-
ing been run down into a molten
mass, the metal is SKINNED, and the
first operator, known as the "gath-
erer," takes a little of the glass on
the end of a heated pipe. When
this has cooled somewhat he again
dips his pipe into the glass, having
gathered" in the two dips sufficient
to make a bottle. This he hands on
to the GLOVER" who as he blows
through the tube rolls the metal on
a stone, thereby f%ashioning the bot
tie neck. The roughly shaped mass
is then placed in a mold and the
operator continues to blow until he
has brought it to the required
form. After this the bottle is hand
ed to the finisher, who by touching
the neck with a small bit of iron
dipped in water completely sewers
it from the pipe. He attaches the
pontee, an iron instrument tipped
with molten glass, to the bottom OF
the bottle and thus gives it the
usual rounded shape. This pontee
may be used for from twenty to
twentv-four dozen bottles. Then,
warming the bottle at the furnace,
the fnisher takes a small quantity
of the metal on what is known as a
ring iron and, turning it around the
mouth, forms the ring seen at the
top of the neck. Taking the
shears, he trims the neck. In the
center of one blade of the shears is
a piece of brass tapering like a
cork, which forms the inner mouth,
while the other blade has a piece of
brass fastened to it, for the purpose
Of shaping the ring. A boy lifts the
completed bottle on a fork, and it is
taken to the annealing arch, which
contains about ten or twelve gross
Of bottles placed in bins II above
the other. These are the processes
which ever the cheapest and most
ordinary bottle has to go through.
So ii can we'll be imagined what an
infnitude OF care and trouble is
needed to produce d bottle OF the
finest graIc.-London Globe.

WE MUS R O Old.
Problem That Has Tormented Men OF
Science Is Still unsolved.

Every living being of adult age
begins to grow old. In the case of
mar the weight of years makes
itself felt more or less heavily. 1t
is a matter of heredity and of good
hygiene. But, although certain per-
sons are old before their time, there
are none who, having reached a GER
tain age, are not old. Old age is a
physiologic state.
It would seem hat if we could
penetrate the mechanism of old age
we ought to be able to retard its
effects and to remain young for a
correspondingly longer time. The
alchemists sought long to solve this
problem, and it has always torment
ed scientific men. The ancients
thought that by infusing into an
old mans veins the blood of a youth
new vigor might be given to him.
They tried such TRANSMISSION of
blood, but without success, as it is
scarcely necessary to say. We find
in various authors a proof of the
antiquity of this process. In mod
ern times we have taken it up
again, but in a totally different
class of cases. The TRANSMISSION of
blood cannot postpone the effects
of old age on the organs.
The living being takes from his
environment the substances neces-
sary for the performance of his
functions. He transforms them,
assimilates them and excretes them
after he has finished with them. In
a culture of microbes the waste
substances accumulate and are one
of the causes Of the aging of the
microbes. Transport some of these
microbes into fresh bouillon and
they will take on new activity. They
will become young again.
In more complex organisms life
may be reduced essentially to the
same physicochemical changes, with
more complex machinery Of co-or-
dination and elimination. The
waste materials, more or less COM
pletely oxidized, are eliminated
through natural channels. When
the activity of the organs is such
that the elimination is not rapid
enough there is a sensation of ia
tigue, need of rest and sleep. Dur
ing rest and sleep the changes are
slower, the waste is eliminated, the
sensation Of fatigue is felt no
longer until new efforts bring it on
again. But there are insoluble sub
stances of the nature of tendon or
bone which are continually formed
during the working of the organism
and which are either not eliminated
at all or are eliminated Incomplete
ly during repose. They progressive
ly clog the organism and are the
cause of old age.
AS is remarked by LIE Dantec,
who is the author of this hypothe-
sis, the muscles of old animals are
much more cartilaginous because OF
this accumulation Of tendinous sub
stances, but it is not generally in
the muscles that this incrustment
becomes injurious to the organism.
The effect on the walls of the blood
vessels is more dangerous, because
these vessels, becoming fragile:
may break. every one," it is said:

REVERSED NEGATIVES BY AMMO.
MUM PERSULPHATE

"A lantern or other thinly coated slow
plate is placed in contact with the neg
ative in printing frame and full ex-
posure given such as would be thought
advisable in making a soft positive
transparency. The plate is developed
with a clean working developer &c. g.,
glycin) until the shadows appear quite
black on the glass side of the plate.
The time of development may be five
times as long as for an ordinary trans
parency. The latter is then washed and
placed in a per cent solution of am
monium persulphate until the silver
image is seen to be removed. The plate
is then thoroughly washed and de-
veloped in any clean developer contain
ing about half a grain of bromide an
ounce. 1t is then fixed and washed and
dried After the first development the
operations may be done in weak day
light or artificial light. The action of
the persulphate should be as compl t.
as possible, otherwise veil is left over
the negative. The above is a very rapil
and economical process. Direct posi-
tives, but reversed from right to left
from engravings, ETC., may be made in
the camera by substituting bromide
paper for the plate. The exposure
should be full and development as
above. The method has this advantag I,
that the lines are rendered In the same
degrees of black and gray as in the
original a point of some importan e
since the lines in an engraving are sell
dom, if ever, of uniform blackness.
