because there were not more diamonds.”

Glass t6 Keep Out Beat.

Glass of a peculiar quality—that is,
non-conductive for heat rays-has been
invented by Richard Szigmondy of
Vienna, the statement being that glass
a quarter of an inch thick absorbs 87
to 100.per cent of the heat striking it,
in contrast to plate glass, which ab-
sorbs only about 5 per cent.

This glass is designed to insure win-
;‘lows which will keep dwellings warm
in winter and cool in summer, es-
pecially adapted too, for skylights,
etc., and also for blue-glass spectacles
to be used by furnace mien.

Rem-arking upon the invention in
question, the Scientific American calls
attention to the peculiar conducting
power of ordinary glass, which would
seem to render Szigmondy’s glass an
impossibility, in ' some respects at
ieast.

Thus, standing by a window on
which the sun shines, the warmth. of
the sun is felt, but, on touching the
window, it is found to be cold; then,
if a light of glass be placed between
the person and an ordinary open fire,
It will screen from the heat, but be-
comes rapidly heated itself—that is, in
the first case it transmitted most of
the heat, and in the latter it absorbed.

 

Milton's Wives and Daughters.

Of Milton’s three wives and his rc-
lation-s with them, enough has been
written. It was a hard thing to be
Milton’s wife or Milton’s daughter. He
was stern, he was. austere, he was
self-centered; his impeccable strength
was purchased by a sublime and mo-
notonous egotism—Which is the name
they give to selfishness in poets. Very
chill must have been the life of his
girls in that Puritan house, reading to
the inwrapped Puritan father from
languages they did not understand,
and, and taking down from his lips
poetry they understood still less. Mil-
ton found them undutiful. Poor little
"undutiful” daughters! Fathers had
terrible conceptions of duty in those
days—From the Academy.

An Isl-vious Observer.

He is a real estate man, and his mind
is always on his business. He hap-
pened to be passing the XVhite House
and stopped to gaze at it pensively.

"I wish,” he said, “that I could han-
dle a piece of property like that.
Every time a tenant leaves there is
scumbody ready and waiting to move
in.’Y—Washington Star.

The Orient.
The following was recited at the

Business Men’s Carnival in Music Hall

by Miss Addie .Eason, who represented
Col. H. A. Saunders’ Orient wheels:

Good evening I Glad to see you I
Did I take you by surprise 1’

You see I ride an " Orient,”
And on it there’s no .flies.

I started out to take a spin:
Not knowing where to call,
I thought I’d just drop in
To see your Music Hall.

Attend your “Business Carnival,” _
And note what the dealers show;
For the rider of an “ Orient”
Is always on the go.

Poor “ Hod ” (the boys all call him,)
His substitute did send,

For with rheumatics he’s laid up:
They say he can’t attend.

S0 friends if you’ll but listen.
Of my favorite wheel I’ll speak;
It’s talking points are all 0. K.
And the tires—they never leak.

The local agent is well known,
For Saunders is his name:

You’ve noticed his projecting sign
At number 12 North Main.

His line of wheels will satisfy,
The rich and poor alike; _
The prices ranging so that all

May surely own a bike.-

The “Orient,” his leading wheel,
Is too well known to mention;

Its records made do yet remain,
And still command attention.

At coasting it is termed the king,
For it always stands the test:

And where’er a match is given,
It out coasts all the rest.

To those who can’t alford to pay
One hundred for this wheel;
the “Saracen” at sixty,
Should unto such appeal.

It’s workmanshi ) is up to date,
’Twill stand t’ 'e hardest whack; -

Those who have tried it all agree
Not ONE thing does it lack.

Each part in stock he carries,
No waiting or delay:

In case of loss or accident.
He’ll repair it right away.

His treatme at unto all is square:
\Vhat’s wrong will be made right,
To this all wheelmen testify;
He‘s always used them white.

So if you‘re undecided
XVhat wheel to ride this year:
Remember it‘s the only one
That has the “pitch-line gear."
Printers’ ink don’t make them good,
It simply tells the tale;
For they advertise themselves
Each time they make a sale.
May the unfurled banner that I hold,
On its mission wide be sent;
Proclaiining to all Cyclidom
Of the far-famed “Orient.”

‘ Gaztlwmm: . It was my misfortune to have been knocked down by one of the Broadway Trac-

The injury was of such a character as to develop Severe kidney trouble,

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY-I

The “Orient ” and “ Saracen ’
Are THE wheels of to-day.
‘At Saunders,’ N0. 12 North Main
Is where they hold full sway.
He carries every part in stock
And treats you all alike,
No trouble if of him you buy
Your Ninety-Seven Bike.
At coasting or at racing
They’ve always stood the peer,
The reason is, they’re fitted with
The famous “Pitch line gear.”
The crack-a-jacks all ride them,
' You know the reason why,
They’re just the class of riders
Who know what wheel to buy.
Prize winners are these wheels:
And ahead they’ll always be,
Just watch them in the races,
And for yourself you’ll see.
_ And when the victory’s over,
r? When time prize has been won,
They’ll quietly speak for themselves
And simply say, well done.
