In spite of the differences In their

The truth came home to Kgla that

then all who had hitherto held back

glaii.l bis'inise servants and tradesmen
did It a great deal, and it came to sound
like the talk of servants and trades
men. The example set by social Kn
glaiul was s. ili followed III America:
nevertheless, according to the Listener.
"Yes, sir," and "No, sir," may be said to
belong to the logic of good manners.
The French have not discarded the
words "monsieur" and "imidamc" In
similar .situations because servants use
them, and our abrupt "yes" and "no"
seem to them unmannerly nml surly.
Certainly "yes" and "no" from chil
dren have an unmannerly sound, and
the substitute system of "Yes, Mr.
Blank," and "No, Aunt Mary," Is com
plicated and siibjis'i to a great many
dilliculties such, for Instance, as those
which occur when the child is not sure
of the name of the person he Is ad
dressing. No doubt there is such a
thing as being too slavish in our fol
lowing of Knglish manners, and this
may be one of the matters In w hich it
might have Ims-ii well to declare our
Independence. The practice of using
"sir" aud "ma'am" In the way deslg-
111! ted still survives among cnple of
umpiesilotieil breeding In this country.
Their adherence to (he older form of
courtesy call but be respected, nud one
may say "No. sir," without positively
convicting one's self of belonging to
the "lower classes."
New Process for (lias Making.
A number of prominent glass manu
facturers met at (he .Monongahehi
House recently and decided lo build an
independent plate glass factory at
Kli.abeth, n few miles south of Pitts
burg, lu Moiiotigahela vallev, at a cost
of J-.MHI.miil. The prospective coiniuinv
will tight the Pittsburg Plate Class
Company and the plate glass hio1. ami
will develop tin invention patented by
tieorge Marsh, of Sandusky, Ohio. The
Invention. It Is said, will lvvoliui.mi-..
the manufacture of plate glass. Hv
means of It the company, It is chilnnsi,
will be able lo make plate glass equal
to the best French product, and at a
cost less than that of ordinary Ameri
can plate glass. The device holds the
sheet of glass In Its frame by means
of suction while the sheet Is Wing pol
ished. The glass may then be easllv
reversed and the other side polished.
At present expensive plaster of purls
casts are used In the polishing process,
and even then many sheets crack be
fore completion. It is said the Marsh
patent reduced the loss during the pol
ishing process almost to nothing. The
new manufactory will give employ,
nient to several hundred men. Mr.
Marsh's patent Is known by the Pitts
burg Plate Class Company. This cor
lioratlon offered the Inventor jS'jr.O.lHHI
for Hie device, but he refused it.-Pitt.
