Howseh, Andrew Wheeler, " Directors, Ihe coffee for. the retvpuon or ronr rlage feast Is made from the. legacy, and. according to precedent, this must lie the Hint time the suck Is opened. After the coffee Is made for the wed dlnu feast the sack Is carefully closed timl sent to the new home of the young people ii nil should keep them In this staple for a year at least. When both bride and bridegroom hnve the birth gift of coffee they hnve started lift tinder very hopeful conditions, so far as one necessity Is concerned. Few people know that the older the tin parched grain of coffee Is the better the flavor. Like wine. It grows with age, and that which Is over twenty years mellowing under proper condi tions will bring from $1.50 to 3 n pound from connoisseurs. The giving of pounds of green coffee Is a common practice In the coffee belt Friends ex change these gifts and compare re sults. When one cannot afford to glvo a sack of coffee. It frequently Is the case that ten pounds of the best green grain are packed In a fancy case and bestowed on a newly born child, with directions that It must not be opened until the wedding day." THE JUDGE AND THE VIRAGO FIRST AMERICAN GLASS. Mad at a Factory Built by a Boston Man In New Hampshire. The first American glass factory was erected In the town of Temple, N. H. Washington In his diary speaks of glass being made In New Haven, Conn.. In the year 1789. One would suppose by the language he uses that he considers It a new and quite extraordinary affair. It was nine years previous to this and during the very war whose Issue first enabled the country to commence its own manufac turing that Robert Hewes of Boston began to carry out the project which he bad long conceived, but had hith erto found Impracticable If not impos sible under English rule, that of mak ing glass In America for America. , In 1780 Mr. Hewes selected a site for his factory secure from the British forces (his glossblowers were Hessians and Waldeckers, soldiers' who had de serted from the British army), and he must have had an eye for the beauti ful In nature. He chose a spot on the north elope of Kidder mountain, near Its base. To the northwest Mount Mo nadnock rears Its granite crown, stand ing like a giant sentinel; to the north and running east are the Temple moun tains, bold and precipitous; to the east a beautiful valley holds In Its embrace the towns of Wilton, Mllford and Nashua, while to the northeast Joe English hill and the Uncancrmicks mountains conceal the city of Man chester. The place Is now reached by a two mile walk over an old road, long a stranger to travel other than by graz ing cows and nature loving tourists. The stonework about the ovens and the foundations of the building are all that now remain to remind us that here was another example of the Amer? lean people's struggle for Independ ence. Crockery and Glass Journal. An Ancient Jok of Which Thar Are Many Modem Versions. The following tale was translated from a very old Chinese book for Col lier's Weekly; ' A certain magistrate upon opening his court observed one of his lie tors whose face was covered with wounds and asked Dim what was the matter. , Replied the lictor, "Yesterday evening I was reclining and enjoying the fresh air under my grape arbor, which was suddenly upset by a gust of wind antt I fell on me and caused these Injuries." But the Judge was skeptical and said: "That Is too thin. It Is easy to see that the marks on your face are from scratches from nails. It must lie that you have bad a row with your ' wife and got n clawing from her. Is this not so?" I The lictor crimsoned all over and re plied, "Your honor has truly, guessed It" . Then said the Judge: "Why Is your wife so fierce as this? Walt till I sum mon her and give her a beating and you your revenge." While he waa yet speaking the Judge's own wife suddenly came out from the house and fiercely said, "Who is this you are going to beat?" The magistrate hastily announced to the lictors and t'lng ch'al tl's: "This court stands adjourned. Disperse In stantly. It seems as though the court's grape nrbor is also about to collapse!" THE QUEST OF BEAUTY. "Making Up" It a Very Ancient Femi nine Art. "Making up," as applied to the ap pearance, Is by no means as modern an art as many people Imagine. In the days of Roman supremacy the women tinted their eyebrows with black in emulation of "ox eyed Venus." They painted their' faces, sprinkled themselves with perfume and even wore false hair or tinted their own locks in accordance with the prevail ing fashion. The Greek ladles of the same period employed maids who rubbed out their mistress' wrinkles, "decorated" ber face with red and wblte paint and darkened her eyebrows. It was then also the fashion to coat the ace with white of egg and goose grease to pro tect it from the sun and wind. It is eren said that they bad a recipe for turning blue eyes to black. .These fashions all bad their origin In Italy, where in later years the no torious Lucrezla Borgia is said to have dyed ber hair different colors, accord ing to her fancy of the moment In England In the eighteenth .cen tury many women, among them Lady Coventry, died from the effects of rouge. So in all ages "beauty at all costs" was the motto of "smart" la dles. Pearson's Weekly. It Is not the strength but the dura tion of great sentiments that makes great men. Friedrlch Nietzsche.

It Is a curse to the possessor, those who are obliged to live in the same, house with the possessor of the complaining temper as martyrs It is often said that we should not let the bad temper of others Influence us, but it would be as unreasonable to spread a blister of Spanish flies on the skin 'and not expect it to draw, as to think of a family cot suffering on account of the bad temper of one of its members. It is like the sting of the scorpion, or of several scorpions, a perpetual source of irritation, des troylng your peace and rendering life a burden. To bear one everlasting complaint and growl proceeding from what Is aptly called a 'chronic kicker," to have every agreeable thought chased away by this evil of dlsputatlousness, Is more than flesh and blood can stand This would be a better world if the people who lose their tempers would never find them again.

There are many stories of Tennyson in the Duke of Argyll's book, ' "Pas sages From the Past," and one of the most characteristic relates to the time when the marriage of his grace, then the Marquis of Lome, and Princess Louise was in the air. One day Tenny son had a number of guests at lunch eon, among whom was the Marquis of Lorne. In the course of talk the mar quis told Tennyson, then poet laureate, that the queen liked bis new volume. "I nm glad to hear It," Tennyson said in his sonorous, slow, musical bass voice. "I have given a good ac count of ber in that volume, but the newspapers don't like my rhymes sny they are bnd. I live In terror." he con tinued, "of any of the queen's family marrying and of hearing from her thnt she hopes I will write something. I have no news of that kind yet, but I live In terror of It" This with a solemnly sly wink.
