It luw been found that the rich color effects in glass in the middle ages are largely due to the imperfections in the material Its lack cf homogeneousneas, iut unequal thick nesa, and uneven surfaces contribute kirgelr to its beauty. The modem pro duct is too uniform to 1 brilliant: it transmits the light w ith too great regu larity. Intentional iniierfections are, therefore, introduced Into the process; and the products, in consequence, are much more satisfactory to the artist. Thia work of individualizing the product has now been so far systematized that several special brands of art glass are recognized in the markets. Tho so called antiuue glass, in both white and colors, is made precisely like me ordinary sheet window glass, except that the surface of the glass is made full of minute blow holes, which produce almost an aventiirine effect, and add greatly to its brilliancy. In the cathe dral glass the surface ia rendered wavy and uneven, so that the transmtasion of light shall be correspondingly irregular. In the flash glass ordinary sheets are covered with a thin plating of colored glass, a process which permits a very delicate color tone, and materially do crs the expense, where a costly glass, euch aa ruby, is needed to give the color, ttut in mosaic work it i now generally preterm! tliat the glass shall not bo at .all transparent, since the effect u much richer.

Mary Jane waited no longer. Mr. llosklnson was a man of his word. She went over and took her seat between the two boys, who submitted Ho the visitation with that patient -endurance that boys will sometimes maulfest when circumstances over which they have no control place by their side the prettiest girl in school.

The rank and pay of a lirst lieutenant are not an enor mous remuneration for the length and value of the service which some of these ollieers have rendered. The retired list shows also thirty-eight lirst lieutenants who have seen war service, and while the causes of retirement have been various, yet they include some compulsory retire ments for age. Oniy a year or two ago occurred the retirement of a lirst lieuten ant at the age of tti Of course these ex ceptional eases result from tho fact that some volunteer officers received commis sions in the regular army after the war when already considerably advanced in years, and also .non-commissioned ofIic aveiagiiigdder than the Military acad emy '.graduate have been made second lieutenants.

I took a piece of white meat, when my Chinese host remarked: "Why you no go down in side? That more better." I supposed that there must lie some delicacy "down iwlow," and, after a blind flsh with my chop sticks, got a grip on something which proved, on bringing to the surface, to bo the alimentary canal of the fowl 1 then uncondition ally paieu mis ttisn. no 11 was quite good, and I managed to do something with that No. 12 looked suspicious.

But scorched turtle was first class and received a fair share of our attention. Eighteen was fairly good, but slight ly tough. Probably an old drako was tho victim. I now made fair progress till 1 got to 21, when I remembered my experience with the entire cltickon, and. therefore, did not investigate the dish.

In the center of each is a small piece ol strong pepper, and an unsuspecting foreigner generally manages to get the full benefit of this morsel.
