But to our moulds! I have sat down
to Yorkshire dinners and heavy suppers

and brussels sprouts, ushers in process

and an occasional "mince." The British;

disguise the true nature OF anything

Ramadan is the month exalted by

month the Koran-according to Mos

Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month.
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are

New Process Of Stamina Glass.

The art of coloring glass has been
lost and rebound. jealously guarded
and maliciously stolen so many times
in the history of civilization that Il
seems almost impossible to say any
thing new on glass staining. Yet .
process has been discovered for ma
king the stained glass used in windows
which is a departure from anything
known at the present time What the
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
OF II we cannot tell.
The glass first receives its design In
mineral colors and the whole is then
fired In heat so intense that the cob
oring matter and the glass are indis-
solubly fused. The most attractive
feature of this method is that the sur
face acquires a peculiar pebbled char
acter in the heat. so that when the
glass is in place the lights are delight
fully soft and mellow.

The natural conclusion is that II Phosphate
