MAKING FLINT GLASS.
THE VERY INTERESTING PROCESS
VIVIDLY DESCRIBED.

Flint glaas is either blown, molded or
pressed, and frequently all three meth
ods may be seen together in the same
establishment.
A flint glass factory is a most enter
taining medley of marvels. As yoa
enter the great building that surrounds
the huge chimney the first impresskm is
that you are in a human ant hill rumbling
with inordinate activity. Or perhaps
the sensation is better described as a
plunge into a purgatorial chamber of in
dustrious demons. In the center the
openings in the gigantic fwnace.'eawzale
you like glaring eyes from Vsoul of fire;
but the glow comes really from molten
glass in the dozen "monkey pots" about
the blaze. Scores of workers, boys,
youths and men, throng in restless con
fusion. It looks as if every one were
running about on some impish deed of
his own fancy. But stand still and watch
closely, and you will see it is all a great
system of human clockwork, each move
ment fitting nicely into the whole effect.
LOOKS LIKE BE WAS PLAYING.
The men at the furnace, who seemed
at first to be devils thrusting pitchforks
into the blazing depths to toast then
victims, are only gathering metal"on
their pun ties. When a sufficiently large
lump has been collected the man wan
ders off with it. You think he will cer
tainly burn some one with that burning
ball of fire, they are all bustling about
him so incessantly. But follow him
carefully and yoa see him silently hand
the tube to an older man, who blows the
glass into a large globe and sits down to
tlay with it at a bench, which has a
lorizontal bar on each side of him to
roll the tube on. Back and forth he
rolls it like a toy, and the glass keeps
curiously changing its shape. He has
made a hole in tho globe and enlarged it
into a symmetrical opening, and now the
glass is cooled so that he can do nothing
more. Will anybody in nil that hurry
ing crowd help to help him? Instantly a
young man appears, and without a word
he holds np to the cool glass his long
tube with a disk of red hot glass on the
end, which fastens to it. The man at
the bench scratches the globe, jars it,
and it leaves his bar. Off the other man
runs with it to the "glory hole," where
the broken end is quickly heated again
into softness. Then he hurries back with
it to the bench man, who renews his
play. A couple of minutes more and
suddenly you perceive that he has made
a perfect lamp shade, which a stroke
detaches from the iron rod into a small
bed of sand. A small boy carries it off
on a stick to the annealing furnace, and
now the gatherer is on band again with
a fresh lump of metal to begin the pttv
cess again.
Turn to the next man sitting at Iris
work and yoa notice him finishing a
smaller charge into a lamp chimney,
shaping the top by a mold. Here is a
man amusing himself with a small bunch
of soft glass on hi rod. You are sure
he can have no serious purpose in turn
ing and bending it into those ridiculous
shapes. Quickly a boy seizes it from
him and you cannot trace him. It has
gone over to a fancy vase, where it was
needed to complete the ornament. So
each bench has its own little task of skill,
and keeps repeating it over and over,
and each boy of the multitude (there are
two or .more to every man) has his own
particular duties. He pops up always in
the moment and place where he is needed.
WORKDIQ IN TEAKS.
All the workers are busy as their wits
can make them, for they work by the
piece, and the number of things made
determine their wages. They are grouped
into sets or "6hopsn of three or four, who
work together and share profits together
on a well understood grade of division.
Generally four constitute a shop, the
most skilful workman (the blower) at
the head, the gatherer (a young fellow)
next, and two boys, one handling molds
or tools, and the other carrying the prod
ucts to the annealing oven. The only
way to learn the glass trade is through
long apprenticeship in these four stages.
And no apprentice is permitted to enter
the full privilege and wages of a master
workman without the consent of the or
der. By this severe means of apprentice
ship the glass workers keep the skill .of
their trade in their own control, much
like the old Venetian artisans, and prac
tically dictate their own prices to em
ployers. The best wages in the glass industry
are received by the window glass blow
ers, sometimes reaching 112 per day.
The master melters rank next, though
they seldom get more than half thai
amount. From these earnings the prices
slope down to the small tending boys,
who are paid thirty cents for ten hoars'
work. The blower's occupation is labor
ious, but not nnhealthfoT. He works
eight or ten hoars at a stretch, finishing
one melt of glass. There are four or five
melts every week, each requiring six
teen hours to fuse, ten hoars of blowing
and ten hours of flattening. The work
is always by the piece, and in teams or
in "shops," each composed of one mas
ter workman and several younger assist
ants. There are in operation about ltO fur
naces, at which there are employed
about four thousand blowers, gatherers,
flatteners and cntters. They are bound
together by a onion that dictates the
quantity each workman may make, the
number of apprentices that maybe taken
(generally not snore than two to a fur
nace), Oat prohibits any foreign werk-
man from gMtiii&aplacein the factories, J
or any glass from being made in the
months of July and August. The aver
age time they have worked in the last
(four years has been less than eight
months and a half. Much of the time
kfet has been spent in strikes or disputes
with the manufacturers about wages.

Mount Rainier, which rises to a height
of 14,444 feet from the shores of Paget
sound, is the most beautiful of the moon-
tains of the United States as it is the?
most difficult to ascend. A party of nine
men, including Mr. John Muir, the well
known student of the Cordilleran glaciers,
gained the summit and were fortunate
in obtaining a large number of photo
graphs of the mountain and of various
aspectsof vegetation encountered daring
the journey. One of the party writes:
"This partimlar meadow on which we
encamped lies between glaciers of the
Nisqually and Cowlits' rivers, on the
south- side of the mountain. It covers
probably four square mOes and ranges
inaltitade from 5,009 to 7,000 feet. The
meadow on the east side of the moan
tain, between the Cowlits andNatchess
glaciers, is about the same sins and dif
fers but little in vegetation. The other
meadows on the main mountain are much
smaller and, with one exception, difficult
of access. The meadows on thAanwmpM
of the surxoondmgjjpwer mountains are
quite extensive, however. The timber
on the meadows is confined aaainly to
the crests of the ridges running up the
mountain." Garden and Forest.

CATCHING CODFISH.
4 GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THEIR
CAPTURE AND CURE.
The Twtp Waa Better Sara
Six Mentha

Salted PUa.
On the right and left of the fisherman
as he stand at the rail are pegs driven
into and extending some two inches above
the rail. These are the "pull bobbles" for
the lines to run against. Astnallcleatis
attached to the bulwark, to which the
line is made fast, each man having two
lines, one at each hand. A small pen or
"kid" is built against the side of the
vessel near each man's fishing berth into
which the fish are thrown when taken
from the hook and a larger one catted the
"gurry kid" is built amidships for the re
ception of the offal Jront taw
down tables. Two large butts are
to the bulwarks amidships into which the
cod livers are thrown and left to "try
.out" of their own accord, the oil being
drawn off now and then as occasion re
quires from a spigot near the bottom of
the butt. Everything is now ready and
I commence fishing.
BETTER THAN MEDICIKE.
Two or three partly pickled clams are
placed on each hook and the leads are
then thrown over the side and soon I
feel them thump on the bottom. The
lines are then drawn in about three feet
and made fast to the cleats. Now I
stand with "nippers" on my liands and
arrayed in my barvil, or long oilcloth
apron, and grasping one line in each
hand "saw" them back and forth alter
nately against the pull bobbles, thus
striving to entice the finny beauties to
take my bait.
Soon a dispatch is sent from the bot
tom of the Atlantic up along my hempen
telegraph that some poor victim has par
taken of his last meal and, dropping the
other line, I quickly haul in band over
band and soon have my first fish over
the rail and into the kid.
Baiting my hook once more I throw
the lead overboard and while it is run
ning down, I grasp the other line and
find that this too has secured a prize.
Surely this is getting exciting, and as I
pulled in our second line, its dripping
coils formed graceful circles on the little
platform at my feet. I forgot that I was
ever an invalid and our whole thought
was centered on the one idea of dis
covering whether I have one or two cod
fish at the end of that line. It surely
draws more steadily and with lesslflurry
than did tho first one, and as the lead
shoots up through the sparkling water I
discover that both hooks are treasure
laden, and with a loud and joyful hurrah
1 lean over the rail.
Talk about pills and boluses to quick
en a sluggish circulation! That last haul
really did me nioro .good than all the
drugs I had taken for the past six
months.
LOCK A LARGE SLAUGHTER HOUSE.
The fish were all gathered from' the
several kids and thrown into the one
amidships which adjoins the "gurry
kid." The dressing table is then set up
against the side of the latter, and, tak
ing our several positions, we are ready
for action.
Our throater, Lowell by name, stands
facing the dressing kid and, reaching
down, seizes a fish with his left hand,
the thumb grasping the under jaw and
lifting him, places the back of the fish's
neck across the edge of the kid, and with
a quick slash of his two edged, dagget
shaped knife, cuts a deep and wide gash
across the throat. A deft movement of
the knife then removes the tongue, which
is thrown into a tub near by. He then
rips the fish down the belly far enough
to expose the entrails and quickly flipping
out the liver slides the fish across the
table to the "header," who stands ready
upon the opposite side. During the re
mainder of the voyage, I represented
that individual, and was indeed thankful
that our first catch was not a large one,
for I was certainly anything but an ex
pert when I tackled my first fish.
The operation of heading is after this
manner: The header is provided with
woolen mittens having a thumb and fore
finger. As the fish is slid across the table
by the throater, the header seizes it by
placing the forefinger of the left hand
firmly in the fish's eye and the thumb
under the lower jaw. Then with tb
forefinger of his right hand he grasps the
principal intestine where it is joined to
the body and with a quick jerk tears it
loose; then with a forward scooping mo
tion he removes the whole internal ma
chinery and slides it into the gurry kid.
He then, with the left hand still retain
ing imposition, draws the fish forward
untfl it lies upon its back, the back of the
neck resting over the edge of the table.
He now with his right band extended
grasps the fish by the throat and with a
quick push sgainst the napes with the
right hand and at the same instant a
sadden downward jerk of the fish's head
with the left, the head is broken off and
falls into a tub between his feet, while
the beheaded fish slides over to the
splitter, who stands at the front of the
table with the throater at his left and
the header at his right hand.
The splitter now seises the fish by the
(nape with the left hand and with a
quick slash with his long knife splits
him down to the root of the tail. He
then places the lip of the knife under
the lower end of the backbone and with
a sudden forward and at the same time
,Hftimgniotion,whirk the backbone into
tint air aad the fish to thrown down into
the hold to the salter.
The fish are laid up in tiers like stove
wood in a shed, the tiers running trans
versely across the vessel's hold, each
layer being thoroughly covered with salt.
When the "sounds" are to be saved
the backbones are allowed to drop into
a tub at the feet of the splitter until
tne fish are all dressed. Hethenemptks
them upon the table, and wit his knife
deftly removes the "sound" or air blad-
the inner aide of the backbone.

was owarrelsoaie, imperious and
lent, and always ready to meet any re
sentment which his conduct excited with
a challenge to a duel. In the disturb
ances of ial he took sides with the
tyrant Rosas against the rebellious Gen.
Dqurfla.
Under the protection of his chief he
committed all sorts of saisdeed. His
most atrocious crime was the murder of
Maj. Casus. In tan shadow of this crime
. he passed the last years of his life, and
, in consequence of it he met n violent
.death. Cams was the prefect of the city
' of Palmas, in the province of EntreRios.
Be was a landed proprietor and a cattle
nun of great wealth. In 1873 he made
strip through the province forthepur
psseof seUtogl.tOO sheep and n large
strips of woodland. In returning home
with the proceeds of the sales in his
s he psawn tvouch the resion
pMtd by Jordanstroops. Jordan heard
of his presence, and ordered that he
should be arrested. It was done. Jor
dan received Cases in his tent, questioned
him as to his possessions, and then, with
out a word of accusation, complaint or
explanation, commanded that he should
be executed. Cases was tied to a tree
and slaughtered like a sheep. Jordan
seized all the money found on the dead
man's body, and afterward Uripped bis
victim's family of all their property.
Justice is pretty leaden footed in the
Argentine Republic especially when she
is after generals; nevertheless, she be
gan to overhaul Jordan almost immedi
ately after the despoliation of theCa
sases. One by one his crimes were
turned against him until in 1878 he waa
imprisoned in Parana on the charge of
murdering Cases and Gen. Urquiza. By
bribing the guards he made his escape
from jail and left Parana in the disguise
of a beggar on the arm of his daughter.
He concealed himself over the border for
ten years. After the amnesty of 1888 be
returned to Buenos Ayres.
In the meantime the young son of
Maj. Cases had become a man. He had
seen many black days since the despolia
tion of his family. His mother bad died
of a broken heart, in extreme poverty.
On her deathbed she made him swear to
avenge his father's murder. A keen
struggle with the world to obtain food
and clothes for his sister and himself
kept this oath fresh in young Casss'
memory. He knew that Jordan would
come back to Buenos Ayres some day,
and he watched carefully for news of
his return. A few weeks ago news of
Jordan's reappearance came to Monte
video, where young Casus, as a reporter,
was making a fair living for his sister
and himself. Casas went at once to
Buenos Ayres.
One Saturday noon Gen. Lopez Jordan
stepped from his house into the most
crowded street of Buenos Ayres for his
midday stroll Some hundred steps
from his door a young man sprang be
fore him and asked:
"Are you Gen. Lopez Jordan?"
- "Yes."
"I am Aurelio Casas, son of Maj.
Casas, whom you murdered sixteen
years ago. I am come to shoot you."
Gen. Jordan stood quite still and spoke
a few words of apology. Aurelio Casas
did not heed them. He motioned back
the gathering crowd, drew a revolver
and shot Gen. Jordan in the throat. Gen.
Jordan did not move. Casas fired a sec
ond 8ltot. It passed into Gen. Jordan's
heart, and let fell dead to the ground.
Some one shouted "Murder!"
"I am no murderer!" shouted back
Casas, who remained beside his victim's
body. "I have merely killed the man
who killed my father." Then he threw
down his revolver and walked away.
Subsequently he surrendered himself to
the police. The body of Gen. Lopez Jor
dan was carried to his palace, which had
been built and furnished with the pro
ceeds of the crime just avenged. New

The HLt Cabin.
On Aug. 4, 1866, Charles E. Burnes
and Nathan Fubbard left Linkville, Ore.,
on a prospecting tour to find the "Lost
Cabin" in the mountains. For years the
Lost Cabin has been one of the tradi
tions of that section, and many a search
has been made for it and the gold that is
supposed to be waiting for the finder.
Nothing was again heard of the two ;
men until a few weeks ago, when a cat
tle herder found their camp and their
skeletons in a dense wilderness near Dia
mond lake, fifty miles from Fort Kla
math. The skeletons were found near
together, wrapped in their blankets and
clothed. Their guns stood against a tree
near by. A small sum of money was in
one of the men's pockets, and a watch,
so that it seemed certain that they had
not been murdered and robbed. A diary
and a postal card addressed to Barnes'
mother served to identify them. The
diary was carried to Aug. 21, 1888, so
the men had been dead nearly three
years. But how they died will probably
be one of the mysteries of the Diamond

ORIGIN OF SOME SLANG.
INFORMATION ABOUT SOME CWwOOt
WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS.
This may be culled in on sense the age
of slang. But after all what is called
slang to frequently the giving of anew
meaning to old words or the wvention
of new words from old roots. The slang
of today becomes the elegant language
of tomorrow, it to iaterestiaur to
bow many of the
even phrases which
as slangy and inelegant heeusne part of
the potite language of the tintes. Words.,
like lives, have a biography. Many
words, indeed; have histories which are
histories of important
events aa the affairs of the
makes the history of a word efts aa in
teresting andas ysJaabto u that of iacu-,
viduala,
"Dun" to a word now whose aaeaning
to known to every one who understands
the English language. Too many wish
they did not know it. Yet at the begin
ning of this century it was unknown as
a verb. About that time a constable hi
England named John Dun became cele
brated as a first class collector of bad ac
counta. When others would fail to col
lect a bad debt Dun would be sure to get
it out of the debtor. So well known did
this become that people from the sur
rounding country sent him their ac
counts when they could not collect them.
It soon passed into a current phrase that
when a person owed money and did not
pay when asked, he would have to be
"Dunned." Hence it soon became com
mon in such cases to say ."You will have
to Dun So-and-so if you with to collect
your money."
"BOOM" IS A SEW OWE.
Until the nomination of Franklin
Pierce for the presidency the word "out
sider" wss unknown. The committee
on credentials came in to make its re
port and could not get into the hall be
cause of the crowd of .people who were
not members of the convention. The
chairman of the convention asked if the
committee was ready to report, and the
chairman of the committee answered:
"Yes, Mr. Chairman, but the committee
is unable to get inside on account of the
crowd and pressure of the outsiders."
The newspaper reporters took up the
word and used it.
"Boom," in its new sense of meaning
a popular clamor foe a man, or for any
question or movement, is a recent word
being first used as such hi 1880. Grant
was being run for a third term. This
brought a bitter opposition. One paper
said the movement was like a boom
across a swollen stream, taking in all
that was worth having. A St. Louis
paper took it up, and said the third
term movement was properly called a
boom, as it raked in everything on the
top of the muddy stream of politics,
mostly trash and scum. This gave a
new meaning to the word.
"Chestnuts," in reference to repeating
stories which are old, is new and not
much can be said in its favor except
that, being a word that is not inelegant
either in sound or origin' and expressing
so much in two syllables, it has prob
ably come to stay with us. Its origin to
not positively known and only two prob
able sources are given. One to that
some shrewd wit, seeing an analogy be
tween the propensity of n joke to be
come stale and flat quickly and the
chestnut to become wormy in a few
days, applied the word "chestnut" to a
joke when repeated too often and
palmed off as new on a company which
had heard it so frequently as to become
bored.
This may be its origin, bat many are
inclined to attribute it to the other al
leged source, to wit: That a theatrical
party, traveling on n train and trying to
beguile the weary hours by reading and
telling stories, bought a lot of chestnuts
at a station to help pass the time. A
member of the company proposed that
they tell stories and that whoever told a
story that had been told recently should
be pelted with chestnuts. A little bell
in the party was to be rung whenever n
stale joke was perpetrated as a signal
that all were to fling a chestnut at the
offender.
FBOM DICKENS.
"You are a daisy" is considered very
slangy by those who use it indiscrimi
nately, and oftentimes it is. But if
used in the sense in which it inventor,
Charles Dickens, intended it it to good
and forcible. In "David Copperfldd" it J
is nrst used w the sense of calling a per
son a daisy in a way to express admira
tion, and, at' the same time, to laugh at
one'scredulity. Steerforth says to young
Copperfleld: "David, my daisy, you are
so innocent of the world. Let me call
you my daisy, as it to so refreshing to
find one in these corrupt days so inno
cent and unsophisticated. MydearCop
perfield,the daisies of the field are not
fresher than you."
"Too thnr to a two worded phrase
lieard in all classes of society. By some
it is used in a vulgar sense, and it is ob-
jectionable slang; by others it is used in
the manner which gave it tons as a good
word. To my, when speaking of an ac
tion, "O, that is too thin," is vulgar
slang, because enaction cannot be thin.
But to say, when a person makes astate
ment which to calculated to mislead,
"O. that to too thin," is not slang. It
was given currency by the Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens, of Georgia, in the
United States congress in 1870.
Some niemher had made a reply to
Mr. Stepliens and the latter had his chair
wlieeled out in the aisle and said in that
shrill, piping voice which always com
manded silence: "Mr. Speaker, the gen
tleman's arguments are gratuitous as
sertions made up of whole cloth. And

Wide publicity has been given lately
to the reported discovery by the United
States fish commissioner steamer Alba
tross of the extensive cod Ashing banks
off San Diego. The journals of the
southern coast towns have been much
impressed with the importance of the
discovery, and have had much to my
about it. Old fishermen, who know well
the habits of the cod, have been loth to
believe that the fish could be found in
any great numbers in such wvm water
and such an exposed position as desig
nated, in the region of St. Nicholas Isl
and. Evidently there is something wrong
about the announcement. As far as the
banks and shoals are concerned, these
"discoveries" have been marked on
coast survey charts for the past thirty
five years. The coast survey vessels
have often sounded in the locality men
tioned, and there has been more or less
fishing done by them, but never has
there been any cod found. Tbe currents
there are very strong, and any vessel of
size can remain near the banks only
with much difficulty. That the reported
cod banks near Cape Lookout, on the
upper coast, will prove of value to con
sidered very likely, for there are many
of the surroundings that fishermen con
sider most favorable to the cod. San

Pont of tho Grand Caayeaw
I went to the bottom of the Grand
canyon of the Colorado last winter and
am one of the few men who ever at
tempted tbe descent. I went there to
examine a mine said to exist in the bot
tom of the canyon. I have been all
through the Rockies from Montana to
Central America and know what a
chasm to. but the sight of that abyss
took my breath away. . From the top to
tbe bottom it fa full 8.000 feet. Over a
mile below you can see the river tearing
through the gorge, but not a sound can
be heard, it fa so far away. From one
bank to the other it to apparently not
over a quarter of a mile, but as a matter
of fact it to fully nineteen miles. My
guide told me I would never be able to
reach the bottom, but I was determined
to go and I went. It was a terrible
climb aad it took us eight hours to reach
tbe bottom. It to certainly tbe most
desolate place in the world. There is no
living thing down there no insects, rep
tiles nor animals of any kind. Every
thing to absolutely dead. The mining
prospect was worthkfea. Before the sun
was up the next morning we were on
our way out, and it took us until 10
o'clock that night to climb the wall of
the canyon. St. Louis Globe-Democrat
