FeHtarm (r tin- iJruiand for the lately UUcmerea Aiil to M faith A little sign made of the appropriate material has just been displayed in Park place on which are the appropriate words, "Blue Glass." "We are selling 1,000 per cent, more of this glass than we used to," said a gentleman inside the store. "verylody wants it and we have been obliged to retail it as an ac commodation. Presidents of Colleges send for it, the managers of charitable institutions send for it, and ladies send and get it. Sometimes they come them selves. They tell us how large the panes in their windows are and we sell them the glass cut to the proper size. Some have their whole windows re glazed with it and others buy one or two panes and tack them in over the other glass." "Are you a convert, sir?" "Oh, yes, we have great confidence in the curative powers of this glass. It's made only in France. The cobalt is put in the melt and gives the mazarine blue, but it will be imitated here if this demand for it continues. W hardly know how much to import, be cause if this proves to be a mere fancy for a day we should be left with a. stock of unsalable ware on our hands." An old gentleman came into the store in a hesitating manner and with a weak smile all over his face. "Have you any of this We blue glass?'' he asked. "We have, sir," replied u salesman. "Yes; well I want to get some for some other people, I don't suppu.se it's good for anything, is it?" He was acsured that the very best physicians and presidents of colleges weie sending in their orders. "Well," he said, reassured in his man ner, "my brother's wife wanted to try it, and I thought I'd put some in m bed-room window. " Here he broke again into his apologetic smile. He carried away two ten by twelve panes. "One of the finest ladies in the city," continued the salesman, after the cus tomer had retired, "who lives in asplen i did brown-stone front on Fifty-seventh street, is going to have one of her par lor windows entiiely glazed with blue glass, for the benefit of her birds, plants and fishes, in which she takes special delight." "What kind of ailments do people usually say the' have when they come e hi tn buy blue glass?" "Neuralgia, headache, rheumatism, and other similar complaints. It cures all kinds of nervous diseases; it quiets the nerves." "Suppose a man should wear blue glass in the crown of his hat?" "Then he would never have delirium tremens." "Thank vou." "1 meant no offense (with a blush)." "Where does Gen. Pleasonton buy glass?" "I don't know. He doesn't buy it here; but it's all the same in kind. The fact is, the effect apiears to be wrought by the coloi. however produced. Blue curtains have a very quieting effect om the nerves of excitable persons. Sup pose the sky were all scarlet!" Inquiries made at other glass stores confirmed the story of this enoimous increase in the sale of blue glass. A remedy for all manner of painful dis eases, which ts cheap and not bad to 4 take, is pretty sure to obtain a strong hold on the popular heart. It is akin to magic in the manner of it3 working. 1 But what it is that produces the effect is hard to learn by listening to the pop ular discussions on the subject Since the parts to be relieved from rheumatic and other painB have to be txposed to ' the light, it has been suggested that the benefit is derived wholly from what " Dr. Franklin willed air-bathing. Sin gularly enough, this invention appears, unlike that of the steam engine and the ocean telegraph, never to have been an ticipated by the poets. Tennyson came very near it. He says, in "Mariana in the Moated Grange." "The blue-fly sang i, the pane." If only the exigen cies of meter had led the Poet Laureate to write: "The fly sang i, the blue pane," it would have been a marvel of poetic prohecy, and ne could still have retained the "i' the.

A grod old colored man named Uncle Jim Hill set himself up the other day as a phrenologist, and a barber was bis first subject He placed the barber on a chair, felt of his head for a long time, and then remarked: "William, you is too sanguine. When you lend money you expect it back. Tou are bilious. You want to be honest but you hasn't the necessary character; you isn't hope ful ; you is bowed down with grief most of the time; you has an ear for music; you has de worst feet on Kentucky street: yon is de right sort of a man to wheel coal down hill for big wages." William rose up, pitched Uncle Jim over the cook-stove and under the bed. and split a panel of the door as he went out The aged phrenologist was at the City Hall the next morning to get ad vice from the police, and when advised to go out of the trade, replied: "Seems like I shall have to, for 1'ze getting too aged to be bumped over stoves.

One of them died with in four hours. The survivor, James McLaughlin, tells a horrible story of the sufferings of the crew. The bark sprung a leak in the gale and was filled with water, so that it was impossible to save any provisions or fresh water The lumber with which the vessel was laden prevented her sinking, but the weight of the masts turned the vessel on her beam ends until the masts broke away, when she righted and the men regained deck. Having no food or wa ter, they soon began to die of starva tion, and as one died the rest subsisted on the dead body, and so on until only two were left No one was killed, but the moment one died, the survivors cut the throat of the deceased, drank the blood, and then divided the heart and brains. It was 32 days from the .time of the disaster until the wreck was sighted, and during all that time the crew had not a drop of water or other food than the bodies of their dead ship mates.
