ABOUT CUT GLASS.
Tile Kind .That la In Vueus stud How to
Take I'are of It.
lmartcd cut glass is now rivaled by
the American production at a price
which, though high, is considerably less
than the foreign. Owing to the great
amount of work ri'nuired in cut tiny,
and polishing and the large percentage
of breakage while in the hands of the
workmen cut glass must always be val
uable. Once, while watching the
pnx?ess at an American factory which
turns out some of the linest in thii
world, I saw a salad bowl break just as
t was receiving its final touches, and
this without any fault of the artisan.
I n the piece had already been expended
enough work to bring the value of thu
article up to forty-five dollars. Of
course, the laltor was totally lost.
The two linest kinds of glass. It
heniian and Venetian, are named from
the countries in which their manufac
ture lias reacheij a high degree of per
fection. In the Venetian the beauty
consists in the delicacy of the material
and form. Its production requires laith
technical and artistic skill in glass
blow ing, while, the Hohemiau is dis
tinguished by richness of ornamenta
tion through polishing ami engraving.
After the rivalry of Kngland in add
ing a mixture of lead to flint glass,
by means of which was produced
a substance superior in brilliance
and transparency tn the Kohciuians,
the continental workers set tti
work to regain their supremacy,
This they 1 by discovering how to
make colored pluss, ur rather by redis
covering the old iirocess and itopular
i.ing it. As a result we have to-day
the I!, ilieiiiiaii and Carlsbad glass,
which is beautiful, though sometimes
made gaudy by ornamentation of so
styled "jcwels"'-r-that is. imitation of
jM-arls. rubies, emeralds and garnets in
colored glass. The result is often a
brilliant medley that will hardly bear
inspection. ''

To this letter t,he father of the bride
replied that he AVould "attend to t he

EARTHQUAKE INCIDENTS.
I'oarairttous Conduct and M srraloai Esa
npi of Turks.
A Constantinople correspondent of
the Xew York Tribune says that it will
probably never Ik- known how many
persons were killed in that city by the
earthquake of last summer. The Turk
ish government has a chronic hatred of
facts, and the newspapers were forbid
den to publish statistics of the earth
quake. What are believed to be mod
crate estimates place the number of
deaths at about one hundred and fifty,
und the number of the wounded at
about six hundred.
The correspondent cannot help prais
ing the courage of the tireiueu stationed
on watch at the top of a tower more
than two hundred feet high. They
stuck to their jiost. although the tower
swayed like a flagstaff, and when the
fires broke out after the overthrow of
dwellings, they gave the signals as
usual.
Another case of a similar sort was
that of a minaret builder who had gone
up to the top of a minaret to remove &
conical cap whick the first shocks had
thrown askew. While he was there an
other shock iK'Ctirred, and there was
another panic in the streets.
His assistants, who were in one of
the galleries of the minaret, began to
run downstairs, and the mosque serv
ants below shouted to him to come
down, but he stayed where he was.
"If this is going to fall." he said, "it
will fall I m-f..re I can get out of it," and
he proceeded with his work.
Many wonderful escapes occurred.
Two men were walking together. A
Turk met them, and, as is not unusual
when a Turk meets foreigners, he
pushed in between them, instead of
turning to one side. At that instant a
stone fell from the building alMtvet hem,
and hit the Turk, who fell dead between
the two horrified foreigners.
15ut the most marvelous escape was
that of a ltoy three years old. He was
running along the street at the base of
the city wall just as one of the ancient
towers was overthrown. When the
dust cleared away he was discovered
pinned to the ground by great stones
lying 011 his skirts on each side of him,
but himself quite unhurt.
MIXED MARRIAGES.
IM lu t bU b Matrimony ltroutrht
About t ouipllcat lona.
The two following cases would be dif
ficult to surpass. One was in Kuglatid,
the other in Australia. Some time ago
a marriage took place in ISirminghaui,
which brougut altoiit a very compli
cated state of family relations. The
woman had been married three times
before, and each time had taken for her
husband a widower with children,
Her fourth husband was a widower,
an. I, as he had children by his first
w ife, w ho was herself a widow with
children w hen he married her, the new
ly married couple started their matri
monial companionship with a family
composed of the progeny of eight
previous marriages.
Another curious case was that of Ir.
King, of Adelaide, a widower, who
married a Miss Xorris. Shortly after
the doctor's honeymoon the doctor "ssoii
married a sister of the din-tor's wife.
Then a brother of the doctor's w fv
married the dock's daughter. In oth
er words, the d.-ictor's. son became his
stepmother's tunther-illdaw, and the
doctor's daughter became her step
mother's sister-in-law. The doctor, by
the marriage of his son to the sister of
the doctor's wife, became father-in-law
to his sister-in-law, and the doctor's
wife, by the marriage of her sister
her stepson, became s.epinothcr-lu-.

of the brother of the doctor's wife to
the doctor's daughter, the din-tor le

parties are to each other.
A PIE-EATING MORSE.

Leonard Jacobs, a pie tcddler of An
snnia. Conn., has oni; of the most re

towns have Itoasted of horses that chew
tobacco, chew gum or drink Itecr. but
Jacobs" horse wH ea pie, says a local
exchange. The. h1'!'-"1 Is twenty-three
years old. Jacobs' pies come froinNew
llaveu. packed pi cases, and in trans
portation some yf them generally get
broken and caiipvt tip .sold. One day
Jacobs threw a broken pie on the
ground near the horse's head. The ani
mal smelled of t, touched it with his
tongue, lapped it, up, nnd ate it with
relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies
to the horse. The horse soon got to
like them, and would, even refuse oats
when pie was to Ue had. The habit
has grown on him, until now, when
Jacobs says "pie" to him, the horse will
turn his head and. wiuK expectantly.
He has a decided preference for ininee
pic, and the more raisins and currants
and cider there Tc- the- better he is
.leased. Apple pie is a great favorite
with him. Most bakers put grated nut
meg into the apple pic, and this d. K'sn't
seem to agree with" the equine taste.
I'umpkin pie he, Kcs and cranberry

TO IMPROVE YOUR LOOKS.
Dovtcve for Making the 1'onaplrxlon Itet
ler and Addluic to Physical Beauty.
Vanity furnishes the inspiration for
many of the inventions of the patent
office. One of these is a mask of very
thin rubber, designed to be worn on
the face at night. It causes profuse
perspiration, which washes impurities
out of the skin aud makes the complex
ion clearer. Sun tan is quickly re
moved, so It is claimed.
Another device for pnwlucing dim
ples, according to the Cincinnati Com
mercial Oazette. is a woman's idea. It
is a wire mask, likewise to put 011 when
going to bed. Hy an arrangement of
screws, pencils of wood, very blunt, are
made to press upon the cheeks aud
chin at the points where dimples are
desired. Uncomfortable? Why, of
course. ISut. as the French say, it is
worth while to suffer for Iteauty's sake.
False busts, hips aud calves are made
of rubber, to be blown out like bal
loons, and in many other styles, w hile
the young lady of build hopelessly
skcletoiiesque may procure a complete
stuffed jacket which tills out her form
at every point to the extent requisite
for counterfeiting desirable embon
point. If one is so unfortunate as to lack a
nose he can obtain a false one of papier
mache. artfully enameled to imitate
the skin. One kind of imitation pro
boscis is attached to a spectaVIe frame,
so that the ow ner puts on his counter
feit nasal organ in adjusting his
glasses.
Masculine vanity Is concerned in the
genesis of attout eighty patents for
various kinds of mustache guards. ne
such is a gold plate with a spring,
w hich may Ik- fastened to any drink
ing vessel at a moment's notive.
Another is especially designed for
tteer glasses. A tulie connecting with
it goes down deep into the beer, so that
the inustached drinker is able to avoid
the foam.
Other guards are destined to le worn
like spectacles somewhat, with wires
to pass to the back of the ears of the
wearer, and hold them on. The shield
for the mustache is of gold or silver, or
of fine gold wire net.
HE DID NOT LIKE PERFUMES.
But the Keuilnlacent Odor of s t l(ar U u
Another Matter.
It was at a lecture; the room was hot
and crowded, and Mrs. ISitterswcct
noticed that her husbaud was suffering
under a sense of injury, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
"What is it, dear?" she whispered,
under cover of one of the speaker's
rounded periods,
Mr. Hitterswect's sniffs became more
audible. "It's the a'toiliinable odor of
perfumery in the room." he puffed.
'I'm almost asphyxiated by it. Why.
I can count fourteen distinct
scents

," w his-
every time the women alM.ut

"O, well, try not to notice it
pered his wife, with that cheerfulness
always displayed by the friends of the
sufferer in such, oases. "Ilo listen to. the
lecture; it is just splendid.'1
"Humph; 1 auppose- you like the
odor; women a.yays do like whatever
costs money, Iu you hapttcu to know
what is speut annually on perfumery in
America alone?"
"No, dear. I don't. What is it?"
"L'm well, I don't remember the
exact figures just now, but 1 assure you
it is something enormous. For my part
I think that tle, carrying of TK-rfumcs
into public places should le prohibited
by law, and the amount of money
which would otherwise have Wen
wasted upon them might then go to
wards endow ing au asylum for those
idiots who don't k nuw that others have
rights in publio--4'
"Sh sh! You; are disturbing teople.
The lady in the yiolet bonnet is looking
daggers at you."
"Humph, the tyy -hose handkerchief
is poisoned with patchouli; I don't care
if she isn't pleased- Say, 1 think I'll
step out for a cigar."
"Io," said his -ife, ith a smile, "I
thought something Wside the perfume
was troubling yo,u."
He came back before long with smil
ing face and settled himself contented
ly in his place-. As he did so the lady
in the- violet Wuinet, who sat next to
hlin, began to wave her handkerchief
before her face,
"Isn't it awful. she whispered to her
companion, "wherever one goes it is
just the samei some horrid man poi
sons the air with th odor of stale to
bacco; positively I couldn't endure it
if I hadn't some- strong jterfume about
me as an autidute."
QUEEN VICTORIA'S WIT.
Whvu si Child Her Majesty Wsta ull of
Heaouroee.
When but a lucre child, writes Alfred
T. Story lu the Windsor Magazine, her
majesty used to delight lieorge IV. by
her quick wit.
One day when staying at the royal
lodge the ' king entered the drawing
room leading bis little niece by the
hand. The Vywd was stationed as
usual in. the aVjoining conservatory.
"Now, Victoria." said his majesty," the
band is in the next room and shall play
any tune you p.vse; what shall it lie?"
"Oh, uncle," rejdled the princess w ith
great reaiilne.ss, "I should like "Ood
Save the King better than anything
else."
A similar Instance of childish quick
ness Is related lu, regard to the queen's
early studies in music:
Heing one day required to practice at
fhe pianoforte, she objected, desiring
io know- why it was necessary to spend
, much time "(n, the drudgery of run
ning up aud dQt. scales. She was told
that there was royal road to music,
and that she uvst practice like other
children. The little autocrat did not
agree with this, and quietly locked the
piano aud pu the key in her pocket,
saying: "Thertv, you see! There is no
must in the matter.' Having made her
point, however, she was soon prevailed
upon to reopen the instrument, aud so
proceed with her lesson.
Slow Worst.
The late Prof. Hyrtl was very foud
of animals. Some years ago one of his
fellow professors undertook some ex
periments to ascertain the loss of
weight in cases of starvation, using for
the purpose a lot of rabbits. The sub
jects of the experiment w ere weighed
ever- day, but to the professor's aston
ishment they gained, flesh instead of
losing it. It was some, time before he
found out that Irof. Hyrtl had Iteen
keeping them well supplied with food.
THE DOG'S BARK.
It la an I voluion of t.i- I ncultuml Vrlt
I111C of Ol I.
The most curious imitation which we
find in dogs is as to the measure of ex
pression to which they have attained.
Among the savage forefathers of the
modern dog the characteristic of all
their utterance was. to a great extent,
involuntary, and. once lwguu. the out
cry was continued in a mechanical
manlier, says Scribner's Magazine.
The effect of advancing culture on
the dog. however, has Im-,-h gradually
to decrease this ancient mid i fferetit i
at.'il mode of expression by howling
and yelping, and to replace it by the
much more s-'ch liUc bark. There is
some doubt w hether dogs p isscssed by
savages have the jx.wcr of uttering the
the sharp. sK'ciali'l note which is so
characterist ic of t he civilized form of
their species.
It is clear, however, t hat if they have
the power of thus expressing them
selves, they used it but rarely. On t he
other hand, our high-bred dogs have,
to a great extent, lost the power to ex
press themselves ill the ancient way.
Many of our breeds appear to have lc
eome incapable of ululating. There is
no doubt but the change in tin- mod.-of
expression greatly increases the capac
ity of our dogs to set forth their states
of mind.
If we watch a high-bred d..Lr one
with a wide ran ire of sensibilities,
which we may find in brccils which
have long 1h--ii clos.-ly associated with
man we may readily note tire or six
variet ies of s. u nd in t he Lark, each of
which is clearly related to a certain
state of mind. That of wcli-oine. of
fear, of rage, of doubt, and of pure
fun. are almost alw ays perfect ly dis
t'uicttothe educated ear. and t his. al
though tin- oLscrvcr may not I e ac
quainted with the creature. If lie
knows him well he mav be able 1.. dis
tinguish various other intonations -those
which express impatience, and
even au element of sorrow . This last
note verges toward a howl.
GRECIAN ENTERPRISE.

It is the way of travelers to complain
of the food they are ol.lig. d to .-at in
foreign countries. Whether it is an
American in Kurojic. or a LimoH-au in
America, the result is much the same.
We like the tilings t 1 which we are ac
customed. When Kdmoiid Al'iitwas
in Orcccc. he carried matters so far as
lo object to eating green peaches. I c
was in the bazaar at Athens, says the
Voiit li s 0111 pa 11 ion.
"Wouldn't it be jissibc to get some
riM peaches?" he aMo-d tic- Vender.
"1 think not ."aiisw ered t he Athenian.
"Kut pray tell me why".'"
"We have 110 g.l mads. If t lie
farmers should try to brimr ripe fruit
to. market on tunic back.it would arrive
in the sliajM- of marmalade.""
"I'.ut at Corfu, also, the peaches were
green, and they have good mads, and
bring the fruit to. tow n in wagons."
"Ah. well," said the maii. "There is
another reason. The farmers haven.,
money, and they have creditors. They
can't wait for fruit to get riic.""

"What do you do with kleptomani

the proprietor of a large shop.
"We send them bills for what they

"The girl was seen slipping a roll

ONE HUNDRED MILLION STARS.

square minute. A ;mir of stars half a

form a very wide double star, and with
stars placed at even thus distance the
