Secret Of Unbeatable Glass.

unbreakable glass, for which there
might be a demand just now, was in,
vented nearly 1000 years ago, accord,

though Pliny casts doubts on the
story. An artist appeared before III.
berius with a cup Of glass which he
dashed violently on the ground. 1t was
neither broken nor cracked, but mere.
ly denied, like piece Of metal. Then
the man produced a mallet and ham.
mered the cup back into it's proper
shape.
Tiberius, however, asked whether
anybody else knew the secret, and
when the artist proudly answered
NO" had him instantly beheaded.
The emperor feared that such glass
would terribly depreciate the value OF
the precious metal.-London Chron

HOW TO WORK THE COOKS.

Though town patriotism" exists all
over the world, nowhere, perhaps, is it
fiercer than in the little Grand Duchy
OF Luxembourg. The tourist can turn
It to excellent advantage. When he
arrives at the inn of any little town he
should get into conversation with hte
master, or better still, with the mis-
tress, of the house, and mention that
at the last town at which he stayed
the best and cheapest meals he ever
had in his life were served.
Madame will depart to the kitchen
determined to demonstrate to the
tourist that he has never in his life
before really had decently cooked
meal. And by the time for coffee and
cigars he will come near to believing

THE METHODIST
CONFERENCE
J.

The general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church has re.
Gently been held in Minneapolis and
many matters-some encouraging,
some otherwise-have come before It,
Among the startling facts brought out
was that OF loss of 100000 members
during the last six years.
This lamentable state OF things
was disclosed In the report known as
the Episcopal Address" and was sign
ed by eighteen bishops in this coun
try and by six bishops in foreign
lands. The report is regarded as the
most important document to come be
fore the conference as 1t contains the
bishops recommendation for the flu
ture guidance Of the church.
The report was read by Bishop Ear
Cronston of Washington, d. c.
Such statement cannot fail to be
OF interest to every christian for as
the worthy Bishop so aptly says
Where is the evidence that science
has ever regenerated one soul OF
that culture has redeemed one liber

OLDEST TREE is ON cos
u Measures 80 Feet In circumference
and 10 More Than 1000
Years Old.

The tallest. trees in the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude Of 4So feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees of California,
some Of which are 276 to 373 feet in
height, and 10S feet in circumference
at the base. From measurements OF
the rings It IL believed that certain
OF these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The Oldest tree In the
world is said to exist on the island of
Cos or the coast of Asia Minor. It IL
several thousand years old, but Just
how many no one has dared to say.
The tree Is carefully preserved BY .
wall of masonry around It, and the
trunk is thirty feet In circumference.
But there are parts Of trees in the
form Of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump. Beams In old buildings are
preserved today, which are known To
be over thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are perfectly sound to-
day, and It is known that they have
been immersed in water for upward Of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur
ible properties when immersed in wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump.
many rotting in from Ave to ten
years, but when immersed in water
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov.
srnment to preserve woods indefinite

products. Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from Eve to ten years

Good!
Then play like men till the ship goes
down!
Flay for the husbands who part from
wives,
Play for the brave who give up theiI
lives!
'Tis the strong for the weak.
Make the instruments speak!
Now play like men till the ship goes
down!
Play for the fleet of drifting boats,
Play for the widows in distress,
Play for the children fatherless!
oh, bark! Did you hear
That ghost of a cheer?
How far away the music floats!
Play on, brave lads, till the ship goes
down.
Give them waltz, now, a rollickins
rag!
Play for the pride Of the English flag

Play on, good boys, play on!

brown,
So fair to look upon)! p.
Play on, my men, till the ship goei

Christ" What the world needs is
not more unbehevers, more luke
warm, inspired, spiritless members,
but men and women revealing in their
lives the true image Of deity.
Among the more encouraging fea-
lures of the conference is the marked
attention paid to the practical vital
questions so urgently pressing upon
the Nation today. Not the least
among these Is the need of adequate

to the conferences:
I'm their greed for gain, employers
in this country have put about 1900
900 children under 16 years Of age in
mills, mines, factories and messenger
service" said Mr.. Coker. "Of the So,
600 children in the textile mills,

in those mills yearly about 100 baby

tary on modern civilization Who is
it we hear crying on the street
corners, suffer little children to

vitality important topics being brought
so forcefully before the attention of
the conference. and with, the great
Methodist church, through the medi.
