Sheets of glass that are covered with a shell-like raised pattern are in use for screems, partitions, electric light fixtures and other purposes. This chipped glass, for the pattern is otien really chipped out of the surface, in- volves a process that is interestin The sheet of glass to be treated is placed under a sand blast in order to give it a grain. This ground surface 1s next treated with a solution of good glue, and the glass is placed in a dry- ing room on a rack, where it remains for some hours. Next the sheets of glass are removed to the chipping room, where they are placed on edge back to back, with the coated surfaces outward. This room i3 heated by steam coils, and when the heat is turn- ed on the glue reaches its utmost de- gree of desiccation and curls off the glass in pieces from the size of a dime to that of a silver dollar, but it ad- heres so closely to the glass that in | its effort to get free it tears a piece off the surface, the result being a beautiful pattern.—Harper’s Weekly. The Logical Name. “What a queer name for a child,” sald the woman who had just moved next door. ‘“Are you sure they named it Breeze?” “Yes, indeed, and it is a most nat- ural name for the child,” was the re- ply. “I suppose it's the outcome of a eheap joke on the father’s part,” sigh- ed the new neighbor. *“When the child is naughty he is likely to suggest a spanking Breeze.” “Not at all, though I'll mention that to him,” said the other. “You see, the family name is Storm. Before she was married the mother’s name was ‘Wind—Augusta Wind. Upon marriage her name became Storm, of course. making it Wind-Storm. Now, when the little girl was born they were puz- zled about selecting a name. They could not agree until some one said a little Wind-Storm- might be called a Breeze. The little one is just like her mother, and a little Gusta Wind is"— But the new neighbor wouldn't stay to hear the rest of it.—New York Press. Getting the Pank’s Help. ° Financial abllity is not alone the power of getting moneyed men’s ears and interesting ‘‘big capital.” The bank is the bulwark of small business. Given an enterprise that has a legiti- mate excuse for being and available assets, if it is backed by men of integ- rity, it can always command the sup- port of its bank for working capital. Yet it is astounding how many small businesses start without even confer- ring with a bank or banker. This is a mistaka The man who wants to finance a small concern successfully should get acquainted with his bank- ers, keep them in touch with the busi- ness and afford them every opportunity to analyze its condition. There is no finer security than the confidence of your bank, and the cost of getting cap- ital in this way is very small indeed compared with the cost of underwrit- ing more or less inflated issues of stock.—Business. Never. “Never” is a word which is wrongly defined in the dictionary. In that book -we gather the under- standing that *“never” means not at all, forevermore. But— Each day in our broad land young women vow that they will never for- glve young men. Men lift their right hands to high heaven and swear that they will never take another drink. Husbands promise never to forget to ‘write every day. ‘Wives promise never to make anoth- er extravagant and foolish purchase. Candidates aver that they will never run for effice again. ‘Women say they will never speak to some one any more. In all these cases “never” means any length of time from one hour to four days.—Life. Broke Three Legs. - “Yes,” said the small bay boy to the reporter, who was looking for some news to put in his paper™‘mother fell downstairs and broke three legs.” “Pshaw! What are you giving me, youngster?” cried the reporter. “Don’t be too funny. Your mother hasn’t got three legs.” “I didn't say she had,” retorted the wicked boy. “The legs belonged to a table which mother fell against. She ‘wasn’t hurt at all.” The Silent Moon. Dead silence reigns on the moon. A thousand cannons might be fired and a thousand drums beaten upon that airless world, but no sound could come from them. Lips might quiver and tongues essay to speak, but no action . Multiplying by Machinery. The clerical staffs of many of the big insurance companies have of late years been considerably reduced by the employment of mechanical ealcu- lators. One of these. the invention of a German, is a compact little affair re- sembling a music hox. It may be made to perform almost instantaneous- ly the most portentous sums in addi- tion, subtraction, multiplication by one or two factors, division, squaring and cubing. It is required, for in- stance, to multiply 531,975 by 924. The first factor is set by touching the little knobs representing 531,975. To multi- ply by the other factor you turn a handle four'times, push along a slide one place and turn the handle twice, then push the slide another place-on- ward and push the handle nine times. The long multiplication is now done without a possibility of error sc far as the machine is concerned, and the dial shows 491,544,900. In the same mechanical way may be done all the other arithmetical processes.—London Globe. Strange Timekeepers. To ascertain the time at night the Apache Indians employed a gourd on which the stars of the heavens were marked. As the constellations rose in the sky the Indian referred to his gourd and found out the hour. By turning the gourd around he could tell the order in which the constellations might be expected to appear. The hill people of Assam reckon time and distance by the number of quids of betel nuts chewed. It will be remembered how, according to Wash- ington Irving, the Dutch colonial as- sembly was invariably dismissed at | the last puff of the third pipe of to- bacco of Governor Bwiller. A Montagnis Indian of Canada will set up a tall stick in the snow when traveling ahead of friends who are to follow. He marks with his foot the line of shadow cast, and by the change in the angle of the shadow the on- coming party can tell on arriving at the spot about how far ahead the leader is. Fighter of the Family. The tough little boy with the red air and freckled face pushed up against the neat little boy and said impudently: “My sister can lick your sister.” The neat little boy did not argue the matter. “And my big brother can lick your big brother.” The good little lad winced. “And my ma can lick your ma.” The quiet lad shifted from one foot to the other. - “And my pa can lick your pa.” There was a flash of pink shirt waist, the sound of some hard object coming In contact with a spongy sub- stance, and the quiet little lad stood triumphantly over his adversary, quietly waiting for him to push his nose back into the center of his face where it belonged. “But just remember this,” he ob- served quietly, “you can't lick me.”— Youngstown Telegram. The Famous “Green Man of Brighton.” In October, 1806, an individual was to be observed at Brighton; England. who walked out every day dressed in green from head to foot—green shoes, green gloves, green handkerchief and other articles to match. This eccen- tric person lived alone, knew nobedy, and in his house the curtains. the wall paper, the furniture, even the plates and dishes and the smallest toilet ar- ticles, offered an uninterrupted se- quence of green. Having started on his career, there was obviously no rea- son to stop, and with full consistency he carried this scruples so far as to eat nothing but fruit and vegetables of the same green color. The conse- quences were extremely disastrous. One fine day the green man jumped from his window into the street, rush- ed forward and performed a second somersault from the top of the nearest cliff. Climate and Food. In the arctic regions human food is almost exclusively animal, because that is the only sort which is available in quantity. Inthe tropics, where vege- table food is abundant and animal foods readily decay, plant products are and always have been of very great importance in the diet. In temperate regions all kinds of food may be se- cured, and it seems reasonable to sup- pose that all kinds have always been eaten as they are today. Awaiting the Test. Pligrim—If I come in will that dorg bite me? Mrs. Hawkins—We ain't no ways sure, mister. But the feller that let us take him on trial said he'd chaw up a tramp in less'n two minutes; but, land sakes, we ain’t goin’ to believe it till we see it done.—Chicago News. He Got the Limit. “Do you believe there is anything prophetic in dreams?” “Believe it! 1 know it. Only the other night I dreamed that I was at a church fair and awoke to find that my wife had been through my pockets and taken my last sou.”—Exchange. He Knew. “It's the first $1,000 that’s hard to get,” explained the eminent million- aire. “I know that,” responded the mere man. “I've been trying to accumulate it for the past forty years.”—Louisville Courier-Tournal. Light itself is a great corrective. A thousand wrongs and abuses that are grown in darkness disappear like owls and bats before the light of day. Spoiling the Game.

Nevertheless it is allegorical and misleading. The real angel of | death in the case of the thin faced sculptor was not a sad visaged maiden of classleal profile. In all probability it was a minute, rodlike organism float- ing amid ‘motes of dust and known to scientists as the “bacillus tuberculo- sis.” The writer does not want to be a shatterer of ideals, but the sooner such poetic notions of death are done away with and the mass of the people educated in a common sense way to the dangers of dust and bacteria the better it will be for humanity in gen- eral—J. G. Ogden in Popular Mechan- ies. o - A Wonderful Machine. The machine by which railway tick- ets are printed gives an exhibition of intelligence or what looks very like it. Railway tickets are not, as might™be supposed, printed in large sheets and afterward cut up. The cardboard is cut into tickets first and printed.one by one afterward. The little blank cards are put in a pile in a kind of perpendicular spout, and the machine slips a bit of metal underneath the bottom of ‘he spout and pushes out the lowest ticket in the pile to be printed and consecutively numbered. It is of mo use trying to print a bad ticket. The machine finds out an im- perfect blank in an instant and flatly refuses to have anything to do with it. Tear off the corner of one of the bits of card and put it into the spout with the others in order to see what wil! happen and it refuses to budge again until somebody comes and removes the impostor. Pull out the damaged ticket and the mechanism will set briskly to work again.—Philadelphia Record. When Women Carved. In George L's reign it was the bound- en duty of the mistress of a country house to ccrve for her guests. Eti- quette demanded it of her, and no one might relieve her of her arduous task. not even the master. To.the latter was only assigned the easy labor of passing the bottle and looking on while each joint was placed in turn before his wife or daughter, as the case might be, and by her rapidly manipulated. Carv- ing became one of the branches of a good feminine education, and there were professional carving masters who taught the young ladies. Lady Mary ‘Wortley Moatagu took lessons in the art three times a week and on her father’s public days made a .practice of having her own dinner an hour or two beforehand. A guest who did not receive his portion from his hostess own fair hands would have consider- ed himself much aggrieved.—London Spectator. Strict German Discipline. “German discipline in the army is the strictest of any nation in the world,” said a man who has expe- rlenced it. “Every German boy must serve a definite period in the army. He can buy his way out in six months if he has money, but the richest must serve that period. The first thing told 4 recruit when he enters the barracks is that he does not know how to walk. That information startles him, because naturally he believes he had learned to walk years before. A drilimaster gets him in a courtyard, and for a week, often a month, the poor recruit is drilled in walking alone. Then he gets another course, and the longest practice magches of a regiment are al- most equal to the stress of actual war. It makes thorough soldiers of the boys.”—New York Tribune. Suspicious. Small Nina was two years older than the baby and had come to re- alize that the little creeper was likely to be in some mischief when quiet. One day she called to her mother: “Mamma, you'd better see about ba- by. ‘Fhear him keeping still)”—Chics: £0 News. o b T The whole creation is marvelously | FOR SALE—Round Oax Heater. Mrs. Geo.
