Colonial Glassware is
Rich and inexpensive.

~OLONIAL Glassware. as
Il its name implies, belongs
~ to colonial times. That l..
its patterns, its pure. sim
pie and graceful lines were in
herited from the glassware used
bv our forefathcrs. Colonial glass
ware, then, is a worthy revival,
but by modern manufacturing
skill it possesses a daintiness in
keeping with the rich table wares
of today.
Because of its endurance. CO
lonial glassware is highly desir-
able for daily use, but it need not
be limited to this alone, as its de-
signs are dignitied and pretentious
enough for the most particular oc-
casions.
Pieces for all table uses
and for any service. We
emphasize the fact that it is
not expensive.

BROUGHT Close to Death.

An Irish climber, Mr.. James Logan,
F. r. g. s. of Dublin, accompanied by
Mr.. Joseph Armstrong of London, and
local guide, set out from Grindel-
valid. Switzerland, lately, to climb the
giant Wetterhorn (12,240 feet). In
the clearest air and the most brilliant
sunshine the ascent was made without
the slightest hitch. and in record
time. On the return journey, how.

rock, entangled itself in the rope.

frantic efforts to escape merely bound
itself tighter Finally, being fettered,
1t fell, and acting as a lightweight.
dragged the climbers toward the edge
Of frightful crevasse. When
danger was at its highest, however,
the guide, with a tremendous effort,
cut the rope, and each man, digging
into the snow, held a death-like grip
until the animal had dropped into the
chasm. Then, by inches, they re-
gained their former path in safety.

motherless boys have never felt so

Of moral suasion are effective. Every.

that the youngest Cassidy boy. five
years old, needed dose Of castor oil.

Are There Any savases Left9


wonder If there exists in the world
such being as a savage" in the
sense understood by our parents
that is to say, man without social
instincts or moral sense and devoid Of
judgment and discretion. This ques.
ton has occurred to me in conse-
quence Of visit to the Igorroto vii
lage at Magic City. The Igorrotos,
II we are to believe the speech Of the
Snowman at the entrance. are among
the widest of the uncivilized tribes in
the backwoods of the Philippine ISL
ands. They 60 half-naked, it is true,
and still use spears to hunt big game;
their dwellings are primitive, but not
more SO than certain log cabins in the
Alps, and they neither read nor write.
But their manners are getter than
that Of certain rustics or degenerate
townsmen of the old world. I paid
them visit a few weeks ago and
found that not man or woman among
them could speak a word of English,
Spanish or French. Returning to see
them, was surprised and pleased to
notice that they are picking up French

Their Holiday Season.

The mills at Oldham, England, shut
down the other night for "wakes"l
week. Every industrial town I'M
lancaster and the West Riding has
its wakes week; but the Oldham
wakes are the greatest of all. There
are more cotton spindles in Oldham
than in the whole of the United
States and of the 100000 population,
to whom they give employment, two
thirds are now at the seaside or on
their way to the continent. Nowadays
the continental contingent is a big
one, and the Lancashire dialect isI
heard as far away as Geneva and on
the shores Of Lake Como. Seven
thousand is no outside figure for those
who choose Paris as their objective.
A custom incident to the wakes week
is that Of arranging weddings for
Wake Saturday. the first day of the
holiday and this year no fewer than
300 weddings were celebrated.

Purchasing Power Of Gold.


Many people find it difficult to un.
derstand how the value Of the dollar
can vary when one standard weight
OF gold is fixed by law as constituting
q dollar. The answer given in
treatises on economics, Of course, 10
that gold is commodity and, like
any other commodity, its value varies
according to supply and demand. The
most satisfactory explanation, how.
ever, is the practical one that the
value of the dollar is always measured
by what it will buy, and that If prices
rise so that dollar will buy only
three-quarters as much at one time
as 1t did at some former time, the
value Of the dollar has been actually
reduced by Is per cent. A bulletin
Just issued by the department of COM
merce and labor, showing relative
average wholesale prices of commodi-
ties for the years from 1890 to 1910,
gives an interesting tabular exhibit
of the great variation in prices and
Y the purchasing power of dollars
worth of wages that has taken place
during those years. The average is
based upon the wholesale price Of 257
different commodities.

Madness Might Have Been Fatal.
A strange story Of a surgeon going
mad while performing an operation
comes from Chita, Siberia. The pa
tient was chloroformed apd two as
sistants had placed everything ready
for use by the doctor when the latter.
much to their surprise. began making
irrelevant remarks. He made the re-
quired incision, however, with his Gus
tomary skill, and the assistants were
treasured. But suddenly he burst into
q weird laugh, and with flourish Of
the knife remarked: 1T would be bet
ter II We finished him with ona
stroke" In a flash the assistants real
lied that their chief had gone mad
and one Of them placed himself be-
tween the patient and the doctor,
while the other attempted to wrest
the knife from the madman's grasp.
With maniacal rage the doctor strug-
gled to get free, but with ready re.
source another assistant continued the
operation, and after the mailman had
been overpowered, successfully COM
pleted 1t.

Weed Makes Food for Wonder.

Interesting operations have recent
ly taken place on the Haining Loeb in
Scotland. For we'll nigh a century
now this loch has been frequented by
a microscopic floating water weed
which in the summer time causes great
discoloration of the water, turning it
into muddy brownish color. In win
ter the loch regains it's natural color;
the weed sinking to the bottom. Thd
plant belongs to the great division of
freshwater algae. Recently there
was dissolved in the loch over half a
ton Of sulphate of copper, and accord.
ing to all appearance, the weed has
been killed. 1t is interesting to note
that in no other loch in the British
Isles is this plant to be found.
