BLASTED OX GLASS.
SECRETS OF A PROCESS OF WHICH
LITTLE IS KNOWN.
An Art Manufacture In Which Chicago
Occupies a Prominent Place Cliat with
a Sand Blast Man Making a "Rub."
Another Process.
A costly folding bel stood in the froat
liall of n" mansion on Washington boule
vard. The furniture men had just left it
and had returned to the store to secure
the additional help required to handle it.
The lady of the house had callers in the
- parlor who roe to go before the furniture
handlers returned. It was an elegant
bed, and as the ladies passed to admire it
the mistress pulled the gilded liandle at
the side, and the couch magically unyoked
itself from the jwrjiendicular part and
slowly descended. The good lady had
intended to show her friends how easily
it worked, but had mi.-calculnted the dis
tance between the lied and the inner
lights of the vestibule door. Kesull, a
crash, half ti bushel of fragments of deco
rated glass, and a G0 job for the sand
blast man. The smashed doorlightr had
lxrne an original design, the central figure
being a monogram formed by the initials
of the name of the master of the house.
The glass had been set for three years,
" and when the sand bhist man ascertained
this he turned to his looksand found this
entry:

18S4, folio !. page l.V.V

Wintriiighain'.s iv.-iieiife in 1884, he made
a "rub" of them, and this is how it is
done:
Put a piece of paper on the glass you
wkh to get the pattern from, and rub the
paper with a piece of "heelball" such as
is commonly ti-scil by shoemakers. The
paper mu.-t be held firmly in its place, so

What is sand blasting'" asked the
writer of a Chicago man whose life has
been spent in decorating glas. 'The
grinding or decorating of glass with sand
a M-cret process, the in-idc facts of
which ue cannot disclo-e. Come up stairs
and h-c a .sand blast machine.' The ma
chine suggests a cMrr mill in shape or n.
cheese press. At any rale it's a novel
creation, which the artist faithfully rep
resent". The glass i laid on rubber belts
'at the side and is then fed into the ma
chine. As soon as it disappears from
view some rubber tlaps come down and
prevent the pressure in the interior from
escaping. This pressure is exerted by
wind and sand a twenty horse power
engine lieing required to raise the ''blow"
which drives the sand to the glass. Look
ing through the window in the center of
the machine a "gun'' is disclosed. It has
n large, mouth shaed opening, at which
it is loaded with twenty horse power am
munition of wind and sand. Before the
ammunition is allowed to leave the gun
the aperture narrows to about one-sixth
the width of the loading point. This con
denses the sand so that when it leaves the
gun it strikes the glass with such force
as to eat into the surface. When the glass
has been thus exposed it passes out of the
machine on nibln-r belts at the opposite
side. 1 Ins process is called grinding, and
one machine will grind about 1)00 square
feet in a day.
tiik nwon.vrivE pakt.
Now for the decorative part. Suppose
the sandblaster wishes to present on a
square of glass a certain design. Ho sim
ply covers the surface with beeswax and
a certain mixture laid on over the glass
in exact duplicate of the design desired.
The-glass passes into the machine. The
sand is fired from the gun, but this time
it grinds only the exiMsed parts. The
-portion covered with beeswax and the
secret mixture is not touched by the sand,
and when the plate emerges from the
machine and the wax, etc., are washed
off, behold the design standing out in
sharp contrast to the ground surface
which the sand has scarified.
This is the A H C of sand blasting. The
process is susceptible of much elaboration,
and one improvement, which was patented
last year by a Chicago gentleman, is called
the 'Ammograph." The pictures are first
drawn on the back of the glass by the
artist with a color which will resist the
action of the sand blast. It is then sub
jected to the stream of sand, which cuts
the ghuss in all parts which are not covered
more or less by the resistant. The resist
ant is then washed otf clean, leaving the
pictures cut into the glass. They are next
silvered over, if desired, to give greater
brilliancy. The effect is that of a multi
plicity of colors, but no paint or coloring
of any kind is used, the effect being ob
tained by the different shades of the glass

THREE SORTS OF WOMEN
To be Seen Almost Any Day on the Mala
Street of the Metropolis.
There are three distinct sorts of women
to be seen on Broadway, which divides
itself into three distinct streams of females,
streams which How within definite limits
and rarely encroach on each other's terri
tory. Women begin to be seen in num
bers on Broadway at about Forty-fifth
street. These women are New Yorkers
pur et simple. On them are to be seen
what are ilistinctly New York styles. This
is the ground that fashion writers liaunt
for hints as to the styles of the coming
reason. They are slim, clean limbed, with
hair as smooth as satin and cut in little
pointed bangs that are never curled and
never have a hair out of place. They wear
very rich and very simple clothes, with a
fit and a finish that speaks of Paris, In
don and the very best dressmakers and
tailors of this city. They never admit any
eccentricities of dress, and are so severely
costumed that they cousiderablv resemble
each other and would scarcely be called
beau if ul so much as chic. This stream
flows down to Sixteenth street and there
it stops, absolutely and at once, and one
never sees a single woman of itbelowthat
part of town.
At Fourteenth begins a crowd of stran
gers. All along that thoroughfare the
strangers are mostly from the small towns
about New York, and provincialism has
marked ihem for its own. Their clothes
are echoes of past fiishions, their bangs
are flamboyant, they carrv little hand
sachels and cluster nlxmt the shop win
dows. At home against their own back
ground they are verv attractive looking,
but against the radiant freshness and line
grooming of the New York girl thev look
not quite well kept.
After turning the Fourteenth street
corner one begins to see the western and
southern girls, who wear expensive mate
rials that are well made but lack in style.
This autumn one recognizes these women
by the heliotrope gowns that New York
abandoned last spring. They are, as a
rule, extremely pretty in a picturesque,
individual fashion. Particularly is this
true of the middle aged women, who re
tain tiie beauty or their figures wonder
fally, and who have, many of them, big,
soft dark eyes and thick gray curls around
their brows. They are neither so fair nor
so rosy as New York women.
Below Eighth street the crowd changes
for a third time and are native New
Yorkers again. These are the women
who work for their living, and may bo
Been in groups, of two and three going
home anywhere between 4 and 7 o'clock.
These women have a good looking sprink
ling of elderly, meager females in dingy
black, with anxious faces and little black
bags in which they carry their lunch to
the-offices where they work. Many of
them are pretty and many young. Their
clothes are evidently selected with an eye
to wear, the purchases evidently being
had in mind whether the material would
show spots and dnst and whether it was
the same on both sides, so that it would
"turn." Their general appearance shows
that they have been hard at work all day
and have had meager toilet appliances to
repair damages before coming ont on the
street: Many of them walk arm in arm,
with a little independent halt masculine
air that they have insensibly picked tip
from their employers, and jostle through
the harrying throngs of men without no
ticing them.r They are pretty and lady
like, as a rule. "Sew York World.
A Javanese Dreamer.
To transform men into all sorts of be
ings, both vegetable and animal, from
sweet scented flowers to pigs and preda
tory animals, yea even into rocks of salt,
was a favorite pastime with all the di
vinities and magicians of old. But the
transformation of a happy couple into a
pair of cannon is something incompara
ble reserved to the reigning divinity of
the island of Java, in the East Indian
Archipelago. Setama was the wisest of
the wise men of Java, and prime minister
and governor at the same time, and his
wife, Satomi, the most beautiful and most
adorable of women and an invaluable
helpmate in all her husband's onerous
duties of government.
Some night King Sari had a dream that
the Javanese god had made him a present
of a pair of the most beautiful cannons in
the world. He called on tyis prime minis
ter and sent him otf to find the cannon.
The minister took his faithful wife with
him, and they wandered tor years without
finding the cannon. At last they went
into a temple and prayed fervently to their
god to let them find the promised cannon,
as they could not return to the king with
out them. That same night Setama's sou
has a dream that he could find the cannon
in the same temple where his parents hail
taken refage. ile goes there, but sees no
trace of either his parents or the cannon.
At last he goes to the couch where his
parents had been sleeping and lo and be
hold! there are the two caution, wrapped
np in counterpanes like sleeping lieauties.
After that the cannon were set up as
miracle workers in the temple the he

The "Machete" or Central America.
I was iu Nicaragua with Walker, and
in other Central American countries, and
can explain what the instrument or
weapon (for it is both) really is. The
machete is the most prized and the most
used of any implement. The native al
ways carries it with him wherever, when
ever and for whatever he goes. It is his
weapon for defen.e againt man and
U-ast. It cuts his way through the dense
jungles. It cuts the grasj and chop of the
green corn for his horse or mule. With
it he kills and cuts up his hoys and beef,
and with it he slices his meat and bread.
It is his best and most reliable farming
implement. It is a knife varying in
length from eighteen to twenty four
inches, and alout two inches wide, tHjier
iuC to a point. He uses a primitive plow
sometimes, but the machete always.
Willi it he clears the briers, the brush and
the long grass, and with a sharp stick or
this same machete he punches hole in the
grouud at irregular distances, drops in his
corn, covers It with his hael, and retires to
the shade for kind nature to do the rest,
or rather for nature to do the work and
himself to rest. As a weapon it is most
formidable, and was much dreaded by our
soldiers during the invasion of Mexico.
There is a class of mounted scouts, armed
with machetes and known as Machateros.
who are much dreaded in war. Col.
Lewis A. Clark iu Globe-Democrat.
Highland Vehicle.
Every vehicle iu Scot laud, especially in
the highlands, is provided with a brake.
No pony chaise or village cart is without
one, and to go down the smallest declivity
without using the brake is regarded as
the height. If recklessness as to the dri
ver, and cruelty as to the horses. Its use
on a four horse coach is plain enough, but
why the pony chaise should have it is not
so plain. The horses are trotted up the
hill and walked down, and the American
fashion of walking them up the hill and
trotting them down is esteemed heterodox
iu the highest degree.
The Scotch horses and ponies are strong
and wiry, but like the English horses,
they lack get up and go. They never
seem to be in a hurry to be off, and indeed
carry so much more flesh than American
horses that it is no wonder they lack
spirit. The oats on which the horses in
Scotland are so abundantly fed make
them tough. A Scotch pony is probably
the toughest thing there is upon the face
of the earth. A pony does not necessarily
mean a miniature horse, for ponies are of
all sizes, and some are really imposing,
they are so tall. Mules, there are none,
and donkeys are rare. Cor. New York

Fata as Tonics.
Fats, especially those which are of easy
digestion, like cod liver oil and sweet
cream, are also essential to the well being
of the nervous system. The peculiar
substance neuriue found in all nervous
structures contains fat as an essential con
stituent. It is remarkable that mast
"nervous" individuals have a stiong aver
sion to fats as articles of diet. This is ex
tremely unfortunate, for the omission of
fats and oils from the diet tends to cot
only continne the nervousness, but to in
crease the irritability and weakness. Cod
liver oil is a most valuable medicine in
such cases, because it U already partly
digested by admixture with the bile se
creted by the liver of the fish, ami thus
rendered still more easy of absorption.
The labor of digestion Ls thus partly taken
away from the tasks to be performed by
the invalid. Of course, the fishy odor is
objectionable at first, but this Is generally
easily overcome by continuing its use for
a short time. There are a few prepara
tions on the market in which oil of some
kind has been partially digested by admix
ture with pancreatine. Emulsions thus
made are palatable, but much more ex
pensive than the cru'ie oil.--Olobe-Deni-ocrat.
The Dressing of Store Windows.
I know of nothing that shows n greater
diversity of taste than the dressing of
store windows on Main street. Some
seem possessed with the ida that it Is ab
solutely necessary to get a sample of
every article in the store and crowd everr
thiug into the window. Others throw
two or three articles into a case, push it
into a window and leave it there till it
gets hidden from iew by accumulations
of dnst. Others again dress their win
dows skillfully and then pile up and hang
goods outside until no person can see
what is inside. Some place a few things
effectively arranged in the window and
change them frequently, thereby giving
passers by something new to see every
time they pass. A well dressed window
is the next best thing to a good newspaper
advertisement, and its importance is rec
ognized by successful business men.

DYING JUGGERNAUT.
THE
ONCE
HAS
FAMOUS
HAD HIS
INDIAN
DAY.
GOD
No More Fanatic Anxious for Death
Beneath the Cruel Wheels Coolies
Hired to Drag the Car Once Drawn Sy
Devotees.
The announcement that the once tamous
festival of Juggernaut has so declined in
popularity as to render it necessary for the
priests to hire coolies to drag the car, is a
measure of the extent to which the destruc
tive solvent of western thought is being
applied to eastern creeds. The car" of the
great god of Pooree was one of the most
sacred of Brahminie "proprieties," and
the Hath Jattra a festival which, in im
portance, yielded to that of no other deity
in the Hindoo Pantheon. From every
part of the vast empire of Hindostan pil
grims flocked to share in it, and when the
car of Juggernaut was dragged once a
year from the temple in order to bathe
the gods in the cool water of the tank,
a mile and a half distant, the wildest en
thusiasm seized the vast multitude of de
votees. Thousands rushed to seize the
cables, and so eager were the volunteers
for this holy service that the best and
greatest men of Orissa struggled with each
other to obtain a hold upon the ropes. To
use the language of an old writer who
witnessed the Rath Jattra in its palmy
days, "they are so greedy and eager to
draw it that whosoever, by shouldering,
crowding, shoving, heaving, thrusting, or
in any insolent way, can but lay u baud
uihju the rope they think themselves
blessed and happy. And when it is going
along the city there are many that will
offer themselves as a sacrifice to the idol,
and desperately lie down on the grouud
that the chariot wheels ma' ruu over
them, whereby they are killed outright.
Some gel broken aruis, Mime broken legs,
bo that many are destroyed, and think to
merit heaven."
IX 1IOXOR OF THE GOV.
At even a later date martyrs to Jugger
naut, or Jaggaunu'th, as he is more cor
rectly termed, were not infrequent. When
Francis Buchanan was in Pooiee early in
this ceu'.nt y. lie describes the harsh grat
iug of the gigantic car as it moved along,
the obscene songs ot the priests in honor
of th? gxl, and the iicice glances which
the lunatics bestowed on the leef eating
Englishmen, as a pilgrim announced him
self reaily to become a sacrifice to the
idol. No one ilanng or caring to prevent
tiie self-immolutiou, the man prostrated
hiniselt in the toad before the tower as it
moved along, lying on his face with his
anus stretched forward. The multitude
pressed mound him, leaving the space
clear, until he was crushed to death by
the wheels of the ponderous structure.
Then a wild cry of praise was raised, and
as the god was seen to "smile" at the
libation of spouting blood the devotees
threw cowries and pieces of money on the
body of the victim iu approbation of the
holy deed by which he hail won immor
tality iu the Hindoo Walhalla.
It is, therefore, suggestive of a strange
revolution in Hindoo opinion to hear that
not only are victims lacking, but that, in
stead of thousands struggling for the
honor of a place at the drag ropes, labor
ing men, at so many annas per diem, have
to be hired to perform the sacred func
tion. The awe of the Indian people foi
"the lord of the world' has been declin
ing. For many years past the fame of
the great god of Orissa has been on the
wane, and the time when a human sacri
fice was deliberately offered up to the
hideous idol is fast getting beyond the
power of the very oldest of the old Indians
o recall.
NUMBER OK DEVOTEES.
Admitting that the number of devotees
this year is smaller owing to the loss of two
pilgrim ships and the prophecy that a
third will be wrecked before the year is out
it is undeniable that Jagganua'th is
doomed, and the wealth which it
brought to the priest and the towns
people of Pooree is likely to vanish befor.
man years elapse. Sometimes a poor de
crepit wretch, weary of life or drugged by
the priests with Indian hemp or opium,
will wildly throw himself in front of the
wheels, though he is usually dragged out
by the police, who have orders to prevent
any attempts at suicide. Saddest abase
ment of all, from the standpoint of Brah
minism, it happened a few years ago, for
the first time In history, that, to the hor
ror and chagrin of the priests, the car of
Jagganna'th stood still iu the streets of
Pooree, while the pilgrims looked on in
impious apathy. Yet no harm lefell them,
although a subsequent famine has been
attributed to their sacrilegious careless
ness. However, the result has been that,
though worshipers still come to Pooree,
they just as frequently prefer to save
themselves the trouble of hauling the
gods, and as has happened on the present
occasion, the priests, afraid of the idols
never reaching the tank, have contracted
with irreverential coolies to perform the
job for u stipulated number of rupees.
Mortality there is, of course, still. The
poor die for want of food, of disease, and
of lack of proper accommodation. But
there is no longer any need for interfer
ing, for the wrong will soon right itself
by Jagganna'th ceasing to "draw." The
east, we fear, is already grown lax in its
religious observances. The pilgrim takes
a third class circular ticket to the holy
place. Infidel shipowners issue passes to
O'jeddah, and a tourist contractor escorts
the faithful over the forty miles between
Mecca and the sea. The Egyptian der
vishes are becoming extremely chary
about making a pavement of their persons
for the Sandeeyeh Shcyk to ride over, and
now that the Indian exchequer is bemoan
ing the reduced returns from the "Jag
ganna'th trade," and coolies have to be
hired to drag the car, we seem a long way
from the time when Job Charnock, factor
at Fort William, was converted to Hin
dooism, or when Gen. Stewart engaged a
Brahmin to perform daily worship among
the idols in his bungalow. Loot jii Stan

was a novelty worth traveling miles to
see an ostrich race. Two little carts,

forth and four very large ostriches trained
to the business and harnessed abreast
were attached to each one. The race
course was a flat piece of country about
four miles and a quarter in length; the dis
tance to lie traveled was four miles straight
away and return. Two of the smallest
specimens of African humanity ever seen,

ing about seventy-two pounds apiece,

best saddle horses of Cape Town, and was
quarter way toward the turn of the
course, pushing my fresh steed to do his
best, when the feathered bipeds started,
and before I reached the turn the ostrich
chariots had passed me, going and return
ing like a flash of lightning. I did see
them, and yet so quickly did they vanish
into distance that a pen picture, valuable
for its accuracy, cannot be given. The
time taken at the starting point by several
of the spectators was, for the four miles
and return, nearly nineteen minutes, not
very fast for ostriches, so they said, but
too rapid for English hunters, I know.

Colored People la England.
Colored people who are ambitions for
association with white people and to escape
the social inferiority of their position in
the United States, should emigrate to
England. In this country there does not
appear to beany prejudice against the
colored brother. In fact, there appears to
be a prejudice in his favor. There are not
many negroes in England in proportion to
the whites, but those who are here appear
to be specially delighted with their situa
tion. The negroes in England have free
intercourse and companionship with the
whites of a corresponding and even supe
rior grade of intelligence and education.
I have seeu any number of negro men out
walking or riding with white women, well
dressed, respectable and intelligent look
ing. It is also OBUBea enough to see negro
women attended by clean cnt. good look
ing Englishmen. If the negro woman
does not have a white attendant it is be
cause she prefers one of her own' race. I
have seen a number of negro men and
women in England, but I have invariably
seen them in company with whites. I do
not remember having seen negro men or
women in company. Having nearly the
entire white population of England to pick
and choose from, they 'have naturally
shown a discrimination against their own
color. The only noticeable prejudice,
therefore, in England against the negro
comes from the negroes themselves. T.

When Death lias No Terror-.
A correspondent writing from Mexico
censure the people of that country for a
singular cause. "To the average Mexi
can," he says, "the idea of death has no
terrors, and he dies as indifferently as he
has lived. In many villages the custom
is still extant of decorating dead children
with the wings of geese and turkeys,
paper crowns, ribbons aad flowers, then
marching them about the streets seated
in a chair, and burying them amid the
noise of firecrackers and minstrels play
ing polkas and fandangoes.'" Looking at
the matter philosophically, ought not the
average American be praised instead of
blamed for having no constant terror of
death We do not admire the introduc
tion of opera bouffc music at a burial, of
course; but apart from that exhibition of
peculiar taste, are the Mexicans not wiser
and more consistent than we. who weep
and wail because our friends have gone to

fear need be felt of breathing damp or cool
air, either waking or sleeping. Mrs. E.
