THEY ARE RRorHrRs NOW.

Although the horrors of war are
the more conspicuous where the con-
aict is between brothers and the
struggle is long and desperate one
the evidences are numerous that, I'M
derneath the passion and bitterness
of our civil war, there were counter
currents of kindly feeling, spirit of
genuine friendliness pervading the
opposing camps. This frendliness
was something deeper than the ex-
preston of mere human instinct; the
combatants felt that they were in
deed brothers. Acts of kindness to
wounded enemies began to be noted
at Bull Run, while in every campaign
useless picket firing was almost uni
formly discountenanced and the men
shook hands at the outposts and talk
ed and confdingly oftheir private af-
fairs and their trials and hardships in
the army. This feeling, confined per-
haps, to men on the very front line
eliminated at Appomattox, where the
victors shared rations with their late
antagonists and generously offered
them help in repairing the wastes of
battle.
When the Union veterans returned
to the north he did not disguise his
faith in the good intentions of the
southern fighting man.
The spirit that moved Lincoln to
say in his lastinaugural, With mall
ice toward none" has continued its
holy influence. That which must APP
pear to the world at large startling
anomaly, is in truth the simple prin-
ciple of goodwill, unfolding itself
under favorable conditions. The war,
that is, the actual encounter on the
field, taught the participants the dig
nifty of American character.

BRICKS MADE OF GLASS.

The use of glass bricks for building
purposes is growing in popularity in
European citys. As a means of ad-
hitting light to dark hallway and
easements, these transparent blocks
have been no loss in stability of con-
struction when they have been sub
stituted for the ordinary clay bricks.
They are especially adapted tor. any
building where cleanliness light and
uniform temperature are desired.
Hot houses, hospitals, ice factories,
railroads stations and partitions in
the interior of houses are few ex-
amples in which the efficiency of the
glass brick has been thoroughly test
ed. In the city of Hamburg in a
number ofinStances they have been
utilized in place of windows, thus ad-
hitting light in walls which police
and fire regulations would otherwise
have required to be blank. For FIRE
proof walls the bricks are made with
a wire coating to prevent the shat
tering of the glass when subjected to
extreme heat-Harper'S Weekly.
