Character From Tongue.

"Put out your tongue" is a phrase
associated in most peoples minds
with doctors, and is usually remlnls-
cent of minor ailments and nasty
medicines; spoken by glossoman-
cist. however, the curt command
takes ON an altogether different sig
nificance.
A glossomancist, it may be as we'll
to explain, is professor of CLOS
somancy, a new science which con-
sists in reading peoples characters
by the shape and size OF their
tongues.
Thus, according to it's votaries, the
possessor of short and broad tongue
is apt to be untruthful as to words,
and unreliable as to deeds. A long
tongue moderately pointed, denotes
frankness, and loving, trustful, al
fectionate disposition. When the
tongue is long and broad, however
it is a sign that the owner is shall
low and superficial and also great
talker. The typical woman gossip
say glossomancists, almost always
shows this shape of tongue.
The small round tongue, PLUMP
and in shape like an oyster, denotes
mediocre abilities, and a nature tha
is commonplace and colorless. 4
short narrow tongue goes with ma
ture that is at once quick-temperet
and yet affectionate, strong an(
sudden in hate as in love.
The worst type of tongue is thu
long, narrow, sinuous kind, wha
| glossomancists call the 'snak'
tongue" It's possessors are likely tt
be cruel, sly, vindictive and very de
ceitful-Tid Bits.

Silk From SaWdust.

Making artificial silk from sawdust
and other lumber waste is the latest
experiment of the United States for
est products laboratory at Madison,
Wis. The use of artificial silk made
directly from wood is increasing by
leaps and bounds. Originally it's
principal use was in the manufacture
of braids and trimmings, but recent
ly the manufacture of hose from ar
tificial silk has become an industry
of vast Importance. Other uses for
artificial silk are woven goods of all
kinds, Innings, tapestries, etc., neck
ties, ribbons, sweater coats, etc.
About 100000 pounds of artificial
silk are used annually in the United
States. There are several methods
of manufacture, but that from wood
pulp is usually made by treating the
| wood pulp with caustic lye, after
which it is dissolved in carbon BIZ
sulphide. This is then diluted with
more caustic lye to form a viscose
which is allowed to age for some
time. 1t is then forced through dies
to form threads, which are hardened
by a treatment with sulphuric acid
| ammonia sulphate, and sodium bo.
rate, of former acid. After washing
and drying the silk is ready for use
The laboratory is Investigating the
artificial problem as possibility fol
utilizing wood waste, and has or
hand a variety of articles made from
this material.-Boston Transcript.

Best Hostelry Could Afford.

A stranded traveller reluctantly
took a room at a somewhat shabby
village inn in England recently. He
retired to rest, but ten minutes later
came downstairs again, with anger
in his face.

room, sir" he informed the innkeep-
er sternly.
"What's the matter with the one
you've got?" asked the latter
"Matter!" snapped the angry man.
"Why, there are couple of mice

ner Of it,"
"Well, sir" replied the host cold
ly, "and what dye expect for two
shillings a night-a bull fight?"

MEASLES IN YOUNG AND OLD.
The Disease Often Goes Hard With
an Elderly Person.

The earlier cases of measles are
caught and isolated the fewer others
they will infect 1t has been found,
for instance, that in children's hos
pitals, where a child, brought in for
some other disease, has suddenly
broken out with the measles, if all
the children exposed to him are care
fully watched for feverishness, or
sneezing, or itching eyes, and also for
the little spots on the inside of the
lip, they can be isolated soon enough
to prevent any new or secondary
cases developing.
Scarlet fever will also in some
cases infect before any clear symp-
toms of the disease have shown
themselves, and the more we know
of these two diseases the more i'm
portant becomes the general rule al
ready laid down in every case of
feverish disturbance of health in
childhood, to isolate first and decide
what the disease is afterward. You
will double the little patients chance
of safe recovery without mark or
scar, and cut at least in two, if not
in four, the risk of spreading the dis
ease to others.
Although measles is essentially
and chiefly a disease of childhood, it
is by no means to be treated with
disrespect by adults. If one is not
quite certain of having had it in
childhood, it is best to run no risks
in the way of coming in contact with
it. For, although the risk of catch
ing it in adult life is much less, if it
is caught, the attack produced may
be very severe, indeed, and it seems
to have a greater tendency to be fol-
lowed by weakness of the eyes or in
flammation of the ears, or bronchitis.
One of the most utter pictures of
woe seen by the writer on trip
through the Tennessee mountains
was a strapping young mountaineer,
with blear eyes and tottering gait,
and head and neck sWathed in band
ages. He had been sent down to the
penitentiary at Atlanta for six
months as "moonshiner,' and there
had caught the measles, which had
burst his ear drums and inflamed all
his glands and settled in his joints
and made temporary wreck of him.
Ludicrous as it sounds, small but
very troublesome epidemics of
measles often break out among young
recruits in training camps, especially
if they have been brought in from
the mountains or remote, country
districts. So annoying, in fact, did
this ridiculous little disease become
among the new levies in Europe last
year that the army doctors mad a.

cal health authorities in the rneign.

THE STORY OF GLASS
How Glass is Made and What it Is
Used for in the Electrical Industry.


canic glass was in use in the stone
age. The Cave Men made from it ar
row points, spears, knives, etc., be-
cause it could be Clipped to razor
cutting edge. Obsdian, or volcanic
glass, was extensively used by the
Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of
Peru for the same purpose. Many a
doughty Spaniard fell beneath the
great two-handed. wooden sword
with seriated teeth of volcanic glass,
in the hands of Montezuma's war
riors. 1t is to be inferred that the
eirlier civilization would act on this
suggestion from nature and endeavor
to make glass by the fusion of certain
rocks and sands. Glass is very old.
It's manufacture was common in an
cient times.
Chemically, any vitreous COM
pound is called glass. Commercially,
glass is fused mixture of two or
more silicates and is often named
from the predominant base, as "soda
glass;" potash glass; ''lime glass,
and lead glass;" 1t is usually trans
parent, or least translucent, and is
brittle at ordinary temperatures.
Sand is now generally used for OBJ
tanning the silicates which form the
base Of glass. The sand for the finer
qualities of glass is quarried. The
principal deposits of sand for glass
making in the United States are in
Massachusetts, Illinois, Ohio,. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Indiana, Missouri, and New York.
Good sand, however, is available in
almost every part of the country.
There are innumerable kinds of
glass. Some are named for their
uses, as bottle glass, mirror glass, op-
tical glass, window glass. Others,
according to the process of manu-
facture, as blown glass, pressed glass,
cast glass, cut glass, ground glass.
Others are named according to the
localities from which they are OBJ
tanned, as Biar, Bohemian, Murano,
Venetian or Venice and Saint Gobain
glass;. Still other names are given to
glass according to finish and form, as
kinked, corrugated, fluted, and spun
glass. Then there is agate, marble
lied, rose argentine, aventurine,
favrile, bronzed, silvered and platln-
lied glass. The commonest kind OF
glass, however, is flint glass, and this
includes all the myriad forms OF glass
with the possible exception of Win
dow and bottle glass. Besides all
these, there are stained, painted, COL
ored and mosaic glass. .....
The principal bases used for MAX
ing all glasses are sodium, potassium.
calcium and lead. A host of other
INGREDIENTS are used in making glass,
for coloring, etc., but these vary
greatly with the many different glass
companies and no definite informa-
ton can be given as to their use.
Very often colored glass is made or
dinarily like any other glass, the COL
oring being accomplished by the ad-
dition of dyes (generally metal
oxides) to the molten charge. The
same metal produces several differ
ent colors at various temperatures.
More often, however, colored glass is
stained, painted, or enameled, and
when ioined by strips of lead to form
a pattern, is called mosaic.
