Th* Making of Chipped Glass.
* Sheets of glass that are covered with
a »helllike raised pattern are in use
for screens, purtltious. electric light
fixtures and other purposes. This
chipped glass, for the pattern Is often
really chipped out of the surface, in­
volves a process that is interesting.
The sheet of glass to be treated Is
placed under a sand blast In order to
give it a grain. This ground surface
ia next treated with a solution of good
glue, aud the glass Is placed In a dry­
ing room on a rack, where It remains
fur some hours. Next the sheets of
glass are removed to the chipping
too., where they are placed on edge
I ki k to back, with the coated surfaces

()
■ 1 .11 oil*, and when the heat Is turn-
<d ou the glue reaches Its utmost de­
gree of desiccation and curls off the
glass in pieces from the size of a dime
to that of a sliver dollar, but it ad­
heres so closely to the glass that in
its effort to get free it tears a piece
off the surface, the result being a
beautiful puItem.—Harper's Weekly.

Old Fite’s Abasrtreindsdns»*.
Of FitzGerald's absent minded uses
and preoccupation a good story is
told. He was going to London from
Woodbridge to visit some friends, tak
Ing with him his handy man When
Woodbridge was left the sky was
clear and cloudless, but when Ixindon
was reached It was raining in tor­
rents. FitzGerald paced restlessly up
and down the platform, expressing re­
gret at having failed to bring his urn
brella and occasionally sending hi*
man out to see if the rain had ceased
Suddenly FitzGerald stopped in front
of a time table. A brilliant inspiration
had come to him. His long, artistic
Angers followed the dotted lines, and
then, taking out his watch from his
fob. be said to bls man. "John, go and
fetch my umbrella and catch the ----
train back again.” And away went
faithful John to Woodbridge on a
journey costing twice bb much as an
umbrella could have been purchased
for just outside the station, while
FitzGerald stayed in the waiting room.

Schoolroom Training.
Our schools are not traluiug Individ­
uals. They treat the unfortunate pu­
pils tn the mass, as a dyer treats bis
cambric by the vatfui. Society needs
the power of the child, and there are
almost as many kinds of power as
there are children. But these power?
' are latent and need to be aroused by
the magic of personality. We now
leave their discovery to haphazard
after the child has left the general
schoolroom. An earnest start has been
made by sincere citizens to compel ed
ucators to use the great possibilities
of the public schools for the training
of useful individuals. A few vocational
and special schools have been opened.
Some of the states, a few of the cities,
have studied the problem of individ­
ualized education. By and by the state
will awaken to the possibilities of
training Its children into diversified
and honorable usefulness. Then a per­
ennial supply of socialized useful indi­
viduals will be coming from the recre­
ated public schools —Samuel P. Ortb in
North American Beview.
His Future.

Little Wimpleton had worked his
courage up to boiling point. And he
told the old. old story to the fair one
of bis heart. To his delight the maid
reciprocated his affections. There was
only one stumbling block, the girl's
prim, proper and precise mamma, of
whom little Wimpleton stood In great
awe.
"I love you." said the maiden, "but
you must ask mamma."
So little Wimpleton did.
“Abem! Mrs Doddles." he said,
flushing like a beet. "1 have come to
inquire—I have come tn ask—cr—
ahem!—er—what would you say to me
as a son-in-law?"
i
“Why. Mr. Wimpleton." said the
lady. “I really don’t know, If you be-
baved yourself as you ought to 1
probably shouldn’t say anything at
all. but If you didn't—well, my dear
boy. you bad better tnarry Jane and
find out by experience.”—New York
Journal.

who had aided the British In the Itev I

their wigwams at this point about
1780-82, and the village was known as
one of the “Chickamauga towns." The
meaning of the name Is now lost,
though It was probably of Cherokee
origin, as it occurs in the annals of the
tribe as a man’s name This name
Is also given to a creek and to a very
