Buyers for large houses are some times deceived when buying cut glass and find they bave bought what Is commercially known us p lass instead of the genuine article Yet there are a few simple rules that will safeguard the ordinary buyer at retail. The chief one is to pick our | only what the mapufacturer vases, jugs, pitchers, bottles and the like. These cannot be duplicated In press ed glassware, which is first molded patterns and the edges ground. This | process gives it so close a resemblance | to real cut glass that even experis | may be deceived. But in the “closed In” articles some way is yet to be devised by which the pressed lines can be followed through the opposite side when put cn ihe wheel to be cut, as the pressed pur: interferes with the workman seein through the glass, which he has to dao in order to follow the lines of the de sign on the cutter. The kind of cut glass that is coun terfeited is called open work, such as plates, nappies or any flat article through which the workman can read fly see when finishing it. Another help in selecting cut glass is its weight. The genulpe is made from pure lead glass, made chiefly in America, especially for cutting This lead glass is very beavy. The first step toward cutting Is to mark on the “blank” —that is, the dish in the clear glass—in red or other pain: the design that has heen selected for it. The most common designs are din ‘mond shapes, stars of varjous poiuis crosses and squares and other geo! rical patterns. The desig» must be marked on the glass exactly to stand the test of com pass and rule. When all lines are un perfect accordance with the pattern and also fit the blank the “roughing” begins. This is cutting the heavy work. such as the necks of vases and bottles and the heavy lines ou the stars. This is done on a machine called the “mill,” a big wooden framed affair. on top of which is n hopper holding about half a ton of Berkshire hills =an« This sand is the only kind in this country that bas proved satisfactory for this work. The sand runs down through the hopper, is moistened with water and comes out of a large steel disk, the edge of which is sharp. This disk i= turned by power at a very high speed. The wet sand of the disk gives it =n “tooth,” which when the glass is held against the edge of the disk cuts very rapidly. All the coarse and heavy cutting is - done on this “mill.” The cutting iv of the finer work be- gins on a mill with a stone disk re sembling an old fashioned grindstone but much narrower and with a beveled edge. These stones come chiefly from Italy or Scotland. They are very hard and carry a keen edge a long time They are used for the tine cutting a! together. There is # stone found in Nova Sco tia much softer that cuts quicker and is used for fluting ou water bottles and compotes where heavy cuts are desired. Very often as many as fifteen or twenty different stones of varying degrees of hardness are used for the cutting of one article. After the design has been all cut comes one of the most difficult parts of the work, the polishing. eitlls | closed in articles.

The Artistic Japanese. Artistic impulses govern even the ordinary artisan In Japan. This, from an article in the Craftsman by Mr. L. Wakeman Curtis, illustrates the fact: “In so commercial and ovonartisic a porcelain district as Nagoya | saw a big room full of men working in clay, hastily copying in quantities pleces that were to go. In a shipload, to fill an order in England. 1 paused be- side a man who was finishing soap dishes. On each cover, before it went to be baked. he was adding the knob by which it could be lifted. That on the European model before him was utterly without sentiment, less gra- clous of shape than a freshly digged onion or potato. With a few slight, quick touches, seemingly as unthink- ing as a machine, he was yet doing more than was required—he was caus- ing each knob as it passed under his Lands to take the look of a half open- ed bud, a faint hint of a leaf being also quickly modeled in the ‘biscuit’ beneath it.” Paris’ Worst Flood. In the year 12006 rose the greatest flood of which history makes any rec- ord in Paris. “Men went in boats over the wall of the king's garden.” All the island was covered, and from the foot of the hill of the university to out of a lake a mile wide. In that flood was swept away the old stone bridge that Charles the Bald had built centuries earlier, before even the Nor- mans besieged the town, and in that flood the Petit Chatelet was destroyed. The Petit Pont fell into the river also, but that was nothing wonderful, for it was the most unfortunate of bridges and never stood firmly for fifty years at a streteh, but was-forever being de- stroyed and regularly rebuilt. The waste of this flood was the signal for Philippe le Bel's rebuilding.—Hilaire Belloe's “Paris.” Points About a Good Horse. There are some points which are val- uable in horses of every description. The head should be proportionately large and well set on. The lower jaw- bones should he sufficiently far apart to enable the head to form an angle with the neck, which gives it free mo- tion and a graceful carriage and pre- vents it bearing too heavily on the hand. The eye should be large, a lit- tle prominent, and the eyelids fine and thin. The ear should be small and erect and quick in motion. ear indicates dullness and stubborn- ness.

The never opening flower, or, as bot- anists call it, cleistogamy, is well illus- trated by the case of the common sweet violet. ‘The familiar purple, sweet scented blossom, which to most people is the violet ower, hardly ever produces any seed. But altogether un- seen by most people it produces a number of minute, scentless and col- orless flowers which never open. These are self fertilized and produce abundant seed. The word cleistog- amous expresses the fact that the fertilization takes place without the opening of the flower and hence with- out the agency of insects. Such never opening flowers occur ip a large num- ber of plants, sometimes along with blossoms of the ordinary sort and sometimes without them. It is a dis puted point. however. whether there is any plant which in all circumstances will produce nothing but cleistogamous flowers. There are nevertheless a oumber which normally produce nothing else. As regards fertility, the seeds pro- duced by the cleistogamous flowers are never inferior to those of the ordinary blossoms. In some cases they are su- perior and in others they are the only seed produced by the plant. it has been found that the amount of cleistogamy varies with the height of the plants. The shortest bear cleis- togamic flowers only, and those a Iit- tle taller hove a few small open flow- ers in addit'on to the closed ones. The tallest plants have larger open flow- ers. with only a few cleistogamic.— Botanical Gazette. a — ———— — Only Chance. “Do you believe,” queried the fair widow, “that universal peace will ever be established” “Not unless people quit getting mar- ried.” growled the old bachelor.—Chi- cago News, The Settiement.

The hand of the glass cutting expert must be steady, strong and accurate, for the least mistake spoils a whole pattern. In the case of a fourteen inch punch bowl! this means the loss of $30. Another kind of gluss cutting fis known as stone engraving. It is done with little stone wheels and copper tools entirety by hand. The designs are chiefly vines and flowers. They are not cut deep and are often mis- taken for pressed glass. In reality they are the most expensive kind of cut glass, the price for a single piece of large size and ornate decoration reaching four figures. Glass cutting is not only a trade, but an art, and any one after seeing the method employed will readily under- stand why genuine cut glass com- mands high prices.— Boston Globe. Men In Petticoats. An Odd Gypsy Custom. In Hungary, when the question of the baby’s future comes up for dis- cussion among the gypsies, there is no time wasted in argument. A blanket is held by the four corners, and the baby is thrown into the air. If it comes down on its little stomach it is a sign that it is going to be a mu- sician; if it falls on its back it is to be a thief, and the education of the child is begun as soon as possible in one of these two time honored profes- sions.
