John and" Ananias Conklin made bottles in There is no further record until after the revolu-, tion. Then, in July, 1787 a century a man named Hunnewell, having two associates, received from the Legislature a charter conferring exclusive monopoly of the manufacture for fifteen years. Tho fine for infringement was 500, the was exempt of taxation and the workmen of military duty.

This enterprise took the name of the Boston Crown Glass company of Essex street. 5 From the first it succeeded, making better windbw glass than the imported. The" neighboring colonies eariy woke to Isy, and many the workmen were enticed away by flattering oflers. All that came to succeed in New En gland was the outgrowth of the Essex street factoiy, workmen going to Berkshire in 1812, and to Keene, N. in 1814.

In New York two Dutchmen, Smedes and Bamber, are said to have made glass prior to 1756, but the first permanent manufacture Overcoats and Ladies' Cloaks at Cost. If you do not see them ask for them.

In Cuba a woman never loses her maiden name. After marriage she adds her husband's name to her own.

In being spoken of she is always called by her Christian and maiden names. To a stranger it is often quite a task to find out whose wife a woman is. Never aring the wife called by the hus band's name, one naturally does not issociate them together. The children take the names of both parents, but place the mother's name after the father's.

The fortress of Gibraltar is declar ed to be no longrer imprejniable. The armament of the famous stronghold consists almost entirely of old-time smooth-bore guns. There is not a shell-gun, or a machine-gun, or a quick-firing gun of any kind on the rock, and only two torpedo-boats of questionable value for water service. Any iron-clad could knock the whole face of the rock to pieces without receiving a shot in return, so far as the fortress is concerned. Chicaqo News.

The metal is found in sand contained in little hollows, which by their shape prevent its being washed away by the water. The weight of the gold grains varies from ten milligrammes to one gramme. Platinum is also found occasionally.

Philadelphia Press. MOSQUES IN PERSIA. They Appear Like Vast edifices of Blue and White Porcelain. The interior of a Turkish mosque is always the same. There is a court-yard; i.

maybe large.it may be small; it may be paved with stone, brick or tile; it is always surrounded by a wall, which may be high or low. Invariably there is a vessel for drinking water and a hauz or tank for performing the necessary ablutions. The drinking-water receptacle may be either a crock or stone vessel resembling a font, or a similar recepttiolo in "metal of brass, silver or even gold. The mosque itself may be a mere mud-hovel, but even in these cases there is usually some slight attempt at a domed roof. It may be of plain brick, of stone- which is.

however, very rarely employed in Persia in the building oi mosqnos m- it may be built of bricks covered inside and out Vtith liU- work, such as can not be imagined for elegance and beauty by the liiitravelcd European. A gooc Persian mosquo r.ppears like a vast edifice of blue and white porcelain Sometimes it is of a light-blue, sometimes a deep indigo. The taste ol these decorations are undeniable. In scriptions and texts, the letters of which are three, four and even six feet loug, and may be read for miles, are not uncommon. But a few vears mosques and shrines were frequently despoiled of their choicest treasures magnificent tiles covered with inscrip' tions in high relief, in blue, white and gold, the letters of which were fre quently decorated with that peculiat glaze (now a lost art in Persia) which made the inscriptions give forth a me tallic luster and caused them, when the sun's rays fell upon them, to resem ble masses of burnished gold.

If the exterior of these mosques is niagnifi- cent still more beautiful are the inter iors; the walls.the arches, the columns, tne uoors ana tne vast uomes are covered with exquisitelv executed tilo work. SL James1' Gazette. Tk.m Difference Between an Aristocratic Captain and a Common' Doctor. The following -screed, written by a naval officer for private circulation; and not intended for general publication, was found in the Navy Yard. It shows very plainly how badly doctors are treated in Uncle Sam's service, and explains why good medical men prefer to remain in civil life: When the first of the Roach cruisers arrived at the Navy Yard, it was found that by some strange oversight a comfortable place had been allowed for the sick.

The commanding officer oi the vessel discovering this fact immediately rectified it. The surgeon oi the ship, on, finding the change, went into the cabin to see about it. He Ixna'de some mild inquiries on thasub- jeetv" when the Captain, in tones of thunder, asked: "What do you mean, sir, by coming into my cabin, sir, and making sug sir gestions, sir, about my ship, sir," and incontinently bounced the terrified doctor, sir, out of his cabin, sir. The doctor was so terrified that his hair, with the exception of a slight forelock, turned white. It was only after the most abject and profuse apologies that the Captain allowed him to stay in the 1 beg pardon, in his service.

On one of the vessels during the war a young doctor, just caught, had the temerity to put a man on the sick list wnom the Captain did not want there. The man only had pneumonia or something like that. It couldn't have been a fever, because the First Lieutenant always kept the berth deck (where the men sleep) wet nicely with salt water. The Captain at once sent for the doctor and demanded to know how he dared to put that man on the sick list The frightened doctor attempted to mumble some feeble excuses, when the Captain roared out: "Silence, sir, when you speak to your commanding officer!" The poor doctor flew from the cabin and was next heard of at Omaha, on his wav West. It is believed he is still going.

Another instance occurred where the doctor of a ship had the audacity to complain because all the breathing-places and all the bathrooms, closets, were appropriated by the Captain, while the other officers and the crew were confined to the lower decks. This was none of the doctor's business, as this state of things had always obtained and does still obtain. The at once had the doctor court-marshaled and condemned to death. But the doctor had a pull, and his friends had the sentence mitigated to imprisonment for life. He is now serving out his term on the Wet Tor-tugas.

Notwithstanding all these privileges, it is impossible to get medical men to enter the navy. They have other advantages. Whether married or single, when a doctor enters the service he is allowed to eat, sleep, dress and undress in a real sociab! manner, in a nice little room in the steerage, about six by eight, with a dozen midshipmen. Still they won't come. I can't imagine what they want.

It must "be the earth. Thank goodness there is no aristocracy in the lower ranks of our navy. Brooklyn Eagle. From Friday Evening's Journal. Capt.

If Mr. Henry is succeeded by anyone but himself as postmaster of Lindsborg, it will be because Mr, Henry is a staunch republi can. Mr.

Henrv has been a kind and oblig ing official and has given excellent satisfac tion to the citizens of Lindsborg and to the public in general, The Swedish Colonization Company that met here Tuesday and Wednesday, has suc ceeded in its enterprise beyond expectation having sold to Swedish colonists, since July, nearly 50,000 acres of land. A large amount of government land has also been secured by members of these colonies. If everything works well, hereafter Logan, Wallace Greely, Sherman and Thomas counties will have as large and prosperous a Swedish population as McPherson, Saline, day and Republic counties. So far, the Colonization Company has only paid expenses, but it may do some better financially in the future Another Swedish colonization company is "booming" Trego county with considerable success. Vega, Vasa, Birka and Altona will be names as well known by and by in Kansas a3 Lindsborg.

We hope that the colonization companies will both prosper as never before. For school books and school supplies, at lowest prices, go to C. W. Engborg Co. OS.

was near Albany, thirty years after. Mr. Hunnewell, of the Boston factory, "had no favor-look toward Albany or Vermont," but having turned his attention and some of his capital to Suncock, N. he was almost simultaneously attracted to Connecticut. This was in 1787, the year when he secured the Bay State monopoly, and he seems to have coveted more monopolies.

In New York such things were not encouraged, but in Connecticut there had been at different times jn forty years "special grantes of exclusive privileges," all however, becoming void from the patentees failing to fulfil the stated conditions. Hunnewell, "attracted of the good sand that way," set his mind on addressing the Legislature of Connecticut, but the enterprising people recognizing that if there was money in their sand-beds for the Bostonian, there was equally as much for them, blocked Master Hunnewell' schemes by entering upon the manufacture themselves. It is altogether probable that jealousy of the Bostonian incited the opening up of the industry, and at any rate in 1787-88 one glass-house was put in operation in Hartford, and another in New Haven. It is not improbable that among the men enticed away from the Boston factory were those who went to Connecticut to start this industry. Success followed, and in 1789 Washington alludes in his diary to "The Connecticut Glass." Dr.

W. M. Morse, in Hartford Times. THE TIMBER WOLF. A Northern Arizona Species of Darin; and Vicious Slieep-Stealers.

"We have in Northern Arizona an anomalous, vicious animal, known as the timber wolf. It is different from the gray timber wolf of the East a. sort of cross between that animal and the buff-colored coyote of the plains. But it is as large as any wolf I evi heard of, and a good deal wickeder in general make-up. The ears come to an abrupt point, and elements of mean ness are combined that set him off, in some particulars, scarcely less favor- ably than the hyena.

"This, in a general way, said the speaker, who was W. Collins, of Marble Canyon. "There are many of them in the woods and alon? the CJ streams reaching from Flagstaff nearly to the Colorado river, but more of them are found north of the Atlantic Pacific road than anywhere else. "Toward the Moqui Indian reserva tion, you may know," continued he to the Examiner reporter, "are our best sheep grazing grounds. Away from the streams, upon which are groves of timber in which the wolves hide, are broad acres of good grazing lands.

I suppose, scattered Up and down in that region, are fifty thousand sheep. But they are usually in lots of from a couple of hundred to a thousand or so. "Well, the destruction of these sheep in the past six months by the wolves has been very heavy. In some in stances I have known of a loss of thirteen per and I have heard of even greater. The wolves not only come forth nights, necessitating the strongest stockade, but they come out to the hillsides from the gullies in the day time and attack them.

Sometimes a wolf will come alone, sometimes they go in bands of three, four or half a dozen. No meat to these wolves is so tender and sweet as mutton, and it does not matter whether men, or even dogs, are around or not. They are better runners tlan the dogs and better fighters." San Francisco Examiner. Tall Men as Hat Buyers. "I would rather have one tall man as a customer than two short ones," said a dealer in headgear for geutle-men.

"Whjr that is singular," remarked the one addressed, "I thought that in your business especially 'two heads were better than "Well," continued the hatter, "that may be true in regard to the transient buyers, but for a ready, regular customer give me a tall man. He requires more hats in a year than three average small men. The tall individual can't keep a hat in any decent shape; one or two rides in a street car knocks the firmness out of the body of the hat and that ends it. The tali man is always running into the lamps in cars; low doorwhys scrape his crowns and altogethemhis height ea-eoiffages the trade ofhe hatter ini-tnpjyely." Philadelphia Bulleliih COR.
