The liuge for Blue Glawt.
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.

is hard to learn by listening to the pop

thirty vessels, many with their entire
crews, were lost in the gale on the coast
of England on the night of Feb. 19th.
The British bark Marie, Captain
Grayson, was wrecked in a gale recent
ly, in mid ocean, with a crew of 14
men, all of whom jerished but two
who were rescued by the schooner, F.
E. McDonald. 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. Life is short, if it merits that nam
only when it is agreeable; since, if we
reckoned together all our happy yawa,
we should with difficulty make a life of
