carneoie,s Hardest Bargain.

Andrew Carnegie, in his autobieg'
raphy, which Houghton Mifiiin com
pany is publishing, tells of his hrst
financial bargain. One Of his CHIEF en-
joyments was the keeping OF rabDits'
and the pets naturally attracted the
small boys of the neighborhood. MY
first business venture was securing
nv companions services for season
as an employer, the compensation pe-
ing that the young rabbits. when such
came. should be named after them.
The Saturday holiday was generaily
spent by my flock in gathering FOOD
for the rabbits. My conscience re-
proves me today, looking back, when
I think Of the hard bargain 1 drove
with my young playmates, many OF
whom were content to gather dande'
lions and clover for whole season
with me, conditioned upon this unique
reward-the poorest return ever made
to labor"

Old American Glass.

The Pennsylvania museum announces
a find of old American glass. One
thousand specimens have been dug up
near Alloway, N. ]. The field where
the specimens were found was once
the site of the old Wistar Glass works,
founded nearly two hundred years ago
by Caspar Wistar. who was OF Aus
trian extraction and titled.
The specimens found were for the
most part fragments Of bottle and
window glass, of which there have not
been many specimens until now. The
museum is now making study OF the
types Of glass that were produced IN
the early days Of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The first glass to be man
ufactured in this country was that OF
a Virginia company located at James
town. but the first produced success
fully was that of Alloway, then know
as Wistarburg.
