Served Without Delay.

Served Without Delay.
At the springs, which are at the bot
tom of a granite pit, the patrons are
served by q row of neat-looking girls.
The first one grabs his glass. which Ia
passed on from one to another until it
Is filled. Then 1t goes up on the other
side in the same way, being handled so
deftly that 1t meets him promptly and
there is not a moments delay in the pro-
cession.
On crowded mornings 1t takes twenty
minutes in line to reach the spring: there
fore people usually grab their glasses
from the hands of the maid. hurry over
to the ether side to take their places at
the tail of the procession, and sip the
water as they go along.
After they have been around three
times the glasses are taken back to the
old woman who keeps them, and then
the visitor goes to his favorite bakery
and there picks out his favorite bread.
A dozen varieties of rolls are displayed
in baskets on the counter, and when he
selects those he prefers and pays few
pennies for them they are handed him
from his hand while he strolls alone or
with a group of his friends through
faultless walks along the shaded banks
of the river Tepl which lead to Sans
Souci." Freundschaftsaal" the Post

that fill the canyon.

there he will sit and sip his coffee and
chat with his friends and read the morn
ing papers for an hour or so. Then he
will stroll back to town by another route
or go to the tennis courts or the golf
links, or to one of the parks, listening
to the music. These cafes are from one
to three miles distant, and by the time
he gets back to the hotel he has taken
the physical exercise that is part of
his cure.
Bohemian Glass Industry.
A dinner of boiled beef. spinach and
s.ewed fruit is followed by a siesta or
game of bridge. and by o'clock he is
ready to go out again for a drive or for
another walk. He can go in any direc-
ton through the woods or along the val
ley, over the hills or out of the mouth Of
the canyon into the great broad plains
which are intensely cultivated. and can
visit one Of the many glass and porcelain
factories which have made Bohemia
famous. These factories are attracted by
the fine raw material found along the
banks of the Tepl. The principal of these
Is kaolin, white. plastic. infusible clay;
the others are feldspar, a white mineral,
fusible only at very high temperature,
and quartz, or flint. which by itself Is
neither plastic nor fusible. but when per-
fectly compounded produces a brilliant
vitrified glaze. so hard that diamond
will scarcely make scratch. The famous
Bohemian glass is made of peculiar sand
that is found IN the natural state, mixed
with powders made from pitchblende, the
ore in which radium Is found.

very light, and generally consists OF q
slice of cold boiled ham and slice OF
one of the many cafes and restaurants
that are scattered through the woods
and along the roadside to tempt the way
