are liurs" is true, though there may bo
a few exceptions among tho bachelors.
My wifo Is an optimist; she always

Tho layman who is introduced to the
mysteries of cutting glass for the first
timo is amazed at tbo amount of work
thut tbe workman dues entirely by bis
eye. The first stnge of tbo bowl which
is to be out finds it in a perfectly plain
condition, not a scratch upon it and
only a half dozen or more murks in red
chulk, which mean absolutely nothing
to the uupmctioed eye. itut to the
workman they mean the whole pattern.
Peihapf Ilia dih is a sulud bowl. Tbe
marks in chulk will run from the edge,
five intervals apart, down to tho center
of tho bowl ut the bottom. In one of
tbo divisions of tbo bowl thus marked
there may bo a little further marking
iu the shape porhups of a diamond.
Tub iudieutos the pattern into which
tbo bowl is to bo cut, and it will bo re
peated iu fuuh of tho live divisions. All

The fttnirr In NlinUespenre'a Time.
John Churton Collins, 'he distin
guished essayist and (Quarterly Review
er, has been lecturing on tbo theater of
Sbukesptare's time. The typical theater
then was of wood, circular or hexago
nal in form, being modeled externally on
tbe general strncture of tbe old amphi
theaters for bnll and bear baiting. Tbe
interior whs fashioned after the manner
of an Inn yard. The pit was scorched
by the sun, while tbe actors wefe pro
tected by a thatched penthouse. I he
scenery was supplied by the imagina
tion of the audience, bnt what waa
InckiiiR in scenery was made up in noise
and bustle, things being kept very live
ly in that direction. The most numer
ous class among the audience were roist
ering prentices.
On the stuge nnd in other parts were
fashionable dandies, swashbucklers,
writers and actors. These, it is inter
esting to know, always had a free pass.
Tbe play lasted two hours on an aver
age, and, considering the noise and tho
smells which accompanied tho perform
ance, one was, Mr. Collins presnmed,
not sorry when "tbe actors dropped on
their knees to pray for tbe queen."
The Cheetnl.
The axis, or eheetul, deer of the Indi
an jungle can claim to be the most or
namental of all the SO races of doer to
be seen gathered together at Wnbnrn.
In tbe early summer, when all the oth
er deer except the wapiti are either
sheddiug their horns or"iu the velvet,"
the axis aro in perfection, both of color
and untlers. The large herd of this spe
cies looks as if carved out of ivory and
red gold in the sunshine and verdnre of
English scenery. Their horns are almost
white, their eyes and muzzles of jet
black, their throats white and their
backs and sides a brilliant golden tan,
spotted with round dots of purest white.
It is worth a pilgrimage to Woburn to
see these deer alone. They breed con
stantly sometimes producing two fawns
in tbo twelvemonth. Spectator.
Welcoming Fresh Cares,
"As far as fresh cures ure concerned,"
said a man of mature years, "as I grow
older I rather welcome them. They blot
out the old cures completely nud so
show bow unsubstantial they wero, uud
I know that in duo course these new
carps will be supplanted by others and
will ns completely give way to them.
Tiius I am constantly reminded that
our cures really dun't amount to much,
except as wo imagino them groat, und
I expect to tea the day when I shall
give hut scanty room to them and not
bo disturbed by them at all." New
