TOOLS AND I'llOCKSS.

cutter with nippers at the hide to break the
Klaus after making the Incision. This will
cost $5 , although cheaper oneu can be ob

well. Howovcr , the matt-rials themselves an >
very InexreiiElve , ns will bo seen from the
following romaik of my hostesH , who. In
glancing ut a pretty mosaic window In the
coursfl of our conversation , exclaimed : "That
one coat mo 25 cunts' "
Tim p ocesa In dutall Is carried out In the
following manner :
Thu window to bo filled In should first liavo
MOSAIC CU.ASS WINDOW ,
a pane of clear glass Inserted s a protecting
ban Is upon which to woik. Measure this
Accurately and cut a naper the exact slzo ; on
the paper draw a design in charcoal , either
utlglnal or bomo appropriate copy , Duplicate
this paper r.d cut out each [ > lion of the
design representing the bits nf glass. In a
mosaicvvludcvv thlf U only necessary for tbe
bow knot , or whatever figure forms the cen
tral motive around vvbl h HitIriegultr mosaic
pieces are grouped almost at h8ihniard ,
JUbbuns nro about the easiest thing * to lnit :
In ucra ! window , but whatever the design , It
ehould bo white , or stmio rather upattuc glass ,
no It wll | utand out In bold relief from tbo
varied colors and shacieu lurroundlng U.
[ W-liuu ( ue bits of paper corrcBpoudlug to th
arc cut lay them on the wrong kldo
of the gln s to bo cut and mark the pattern
with n piece of tsoap.
To cut the glass use the dlamor.d cutte-
Kcnerally , breaking off the pieces with the
nippers Attached to It , but nlicn the glass Is
rot very thick It Is quite easy to cut It In
oild Mia ( > es by using a pair or scissors , If
hands , glass and scissors are all well under
water.
nKAUTY AND DURABILITY.
A pretty design for tilts of mosaic may be
obtained by taking a rather largo piece of
glasi and giving It ono quick blow In the
center , thus causing cracks to radiate there
from , producing n sort of star-like forma
tion , Jewels may also bo mndo from thick
chunks of glass by hammering then. Into
Irregular shapes of the desired alzc , but the
ready-made jewels can bo bought at any
glass manufacturer's for different prices
from D cents each up to the most expensive
Blades. In sonic places samples of ghts
nro given away , and a collection of these
will add greatly to the beauty of the work
If they can be obtained. When the glass Is
uady to put In place lay the paper design
under the glass alrcidy In the window
frame , which , of course , has been removed
nnd laid Hat on a table. Then group the
pieces corresponding to the design over
the latter , hnd work In the background to
fit. This should bo In as large pieces BK pos-
nlble. In vertical lints , orbrlckliko divisions ,
In a design like the three llghtA lit the Il
lustration. Around each window should bo
a border ono Inch wldo and cut In lengths
of pcrl.aps four to live Inches , which gives
character to the cdgo and frames In the de
sign with better effect. This border should
also bo laid In place first.
Ilefoto any of this work Is begun , all the
glass should bo perfectly clean , having been
washed In ainmoNli and water , and each
pleco should 'hen bo handled only on the
cJges. ringer marks will surely show when
the light shines through the glasa and then
It Is too late to obliterate them.
When the pieces to bo fastened down arc
, laid In * place the leading commences. This
| is done with a mixture of putty and white
i lead , about the same consistency as the
' former when used for putting In window
j panes. In f.ict , the dryer It Is the better , as
great care must bo taken not to let the
i oil oozu out between the hits of glass and
i the foundation pane. Only the beat llnseeed
I oil , obtained from a painter , bhould bo used
1 In this work ; common oil will not do.
I Short lengths of putty' should be rolled
. out , atout the size of an earthworm , aud
pressed Into place between the bits of glass ,
then when -a certain portion has been ce-
' mente.1 it should bo allowed to diy for thrco
I or four davs before continuing the process ,
as the irlores sometimes slip it handled too
j soon Care should -be taken In cutting , to
j lit them as perfectly ns possible , but If there
be any variation lot the pieces be rather
i tmall than otherwise , as the putty will fill
| up the little spaces between the edges.
i When all Is complete It will be quite like
' the real leaded glass , but. If desired , the
, putty may lit ; painted a leaden hue. although
i this latter touch H hardly necessary , par
ticularly If the glass Is to bo raised above
! the level of ordlnar } beads. It will ho scon
! that this process Is really more tedious
I than Intricate , but It pa > s well for the
j effort put forth 'n reaching the end , for It
; Is really very durable. In one Instance a
I whole window was not only removed from
n house , but taken from the frame , pieced
, out to enlarge It somewhat' , refrained , and
put Into another house without breaking
apart , This t > cems almost incredible , but
. the putty had hardened so that the glass
' was as securely held an though by conven
tional leadm bamte.
Of course great care must be taken In the
manipulation of the pieces not to Injure
one's self as the edges are very sharp and
this danger lay ever present.

"You hear of men being shot by other mqn
In the same army , " said n veteran with long
chin whiskers to the Iluffalo Kxorcrs , "but
the niOFt rcmarltablo cage of the kind that I
ever know of happened dining the slcgo of
Yorktown , where a captain named Wood as
Killed by oae of his own men , and by hla
own orders at that.
"Captain Wood was the oillcpr of the day
and he had posted the last rilcket at night.
Ho had given strict orders to all of the
pickets to shoot the first man they saw ap-
' proarhlng from the direction of the confeder
ate lliii-s. without waiting to ask them for
, the countersign , for wo vvoro In close and
, dangerous quarters then and It might cn-
I danger Iho- whole army If a picket stopped
' to < : arloy with would-be yisltots.
"After giving these Instructions to the last
picket Captain Wood lull him and Htarted , as
ho supposed , to return to the camp. It was
very dark , however , and ho lost his way , and
Instead of going Inside thn lines he went
outsldo. He soon discovered his mistake and
turned back. Ills road took him past I ho
picket to whom ho had just given the decisive
order. In Iho darkness the quick-sighted
, soldier taw a dark figure stealing along the
. road , raised lilt- piece and fired ,
"Tho bullet struck Captain Wood In the
| tide , Indicting a mortal wuund , The mistake
. wan soon discovered , but Captain Wood rc-
| ir.ulned conscious , long enough to exonerate
i Ihe picket from all blame and died In the
consciousness that he had ordered his own
execution. "

The last BUrvlvor of the revolutionary war
was Daniel P. llnkcmnn of.Nc\vl'ork , who

John Gray of Ohio , the last but o d , prcteded
him to the grave In August , 1J 8. Ho was
ifputcd to bo 111 years old , but there was
some doubt on that point.
There arc now fifteen names upon the
revolutionary pension rolls , nil widows and
daughtcis of soldiers , says the Chicago Rec

the close of thear. . The oldest Is Hannah
Newell Barrett , ngcd 9S , daughter of Noah

It seems odd that so many women should
still tt'Ctilvc the bounty "t a government
which tliolr husbands founded , but the Ilrst
congress under the constitution provided tint
they should be thus protected from want ,
ai/l the supreme court of the UnlluJ States
pulsed upon all the claims that were pre
sented lor several years. It was over this
duty that ihe judiciary and the legislative
branches of the government fiist came Into
collision. When congress passed the law
granting pcnsl us to Ihe disabled eoldlers
of the revolution and the widows and or
phans of those who had been killed In bat
tle It provided that their applications should
be referred to the supreme court for adjudi
cation. This was due. first , to a desire for
exact Justice , and , second , to the fact that
the court had little or nothing to do. The
justices. howoM'r , declined to obey the law
on the ground that the constitution which
defined their duties did not include pensions
, \lthln their Jurisdiction : but live of the sK
Justices agree 1 to servo unofllclally as-n bu
reau of pensions for reasons of benevolence
but not us an obligation The sixth Justice
was i strict constructionlst from South Car
olina , and icfused to loc' < at a pension claim
because of the reason above cited
GROWTH OF TIIC PENSION LIST.
In 1792 , after the court had completed Its
examinations of all the claims submitted ,
the pension loll amounted to $110,000. To
day It Is nearly $1 10,000,000 , and theie are
971 930 names upon the list.
It v.aa In Hut year that congress laid
down the pension rr.licy that has since pre
vailed In the United States and hns cost
the taxpayers of this country $2,034,817,709
dming the last thirty years. The law was
approved on the Mh of May , 1792. and It
provided ( hat "If any person , whether olllccr
or soldier , belonging to the mllltla of any
state , and called IntJ the service of the
United States , 'bo wounded or disabled when
In actual duty , ho should be taken care 01 !
and provided forat the ptAlIc expense. "
The continental congi ess , " a few days after
the declaration of independence was adopted ,
passed a resolution pledging the faith of
the colonies In a similar manner , nnd later
specified In a law that every officer an.l
Eoldler who was so disabled as to prevent
him from earning a living should continue
to receive half-pay for the remainder of his
life. In 1778 another law was passed pledg
ing all survivors of the war half-pay for
seven years , and at the close of the v.ar
special pensions were voted by congrcei.
Lafa\ctte , for example , received the pay
of a maj r general for five jc-ars after he
icturncd.to Trance , and while he was con
fined In an Austrian prison congress \oted
him the sum of $200,000 cash and a township
of land In Pennsylvania.
The first women whoso names appear upon
our pension rolls wera the four daughters
of the Count tie Grassc. They were voted
$400 a year each for five years.
Anna Mai la Young of Masachtisetts mor-
ried a veteran of Ihe revolution In 1SIG. Ho
died six months later , but she continue 1 to
diaw a pension for seventy-seven years.
Samuel Downing was the senior pensioner
for many jcars , and surpassed even Mrs.
Young for the Ions-distance record. He was
born at Haverhlll , Alafs. . In 1761 , served as
jin aitlllcer or mechanic. In thi > revolu
tion , wa % wounded twice and diew a pension
frnm 1786 to li 7 , a period of more thin
eighty years.
OHIGIN OF Tlin PCNSION IJUKHAU.
The federal courts continued to grant pen
sions until after the war of 1.S12 , when the
business became so active that It WES In
trusted to a bureau of the War department
Then It was very much cosier to hccure
the bounty of the government tnan when
'every ' claim was adjudicated by men who
were in the habit of weighing evidence with
out prefeienco or prejudice. For years the
usy of political Influence In securing pen-
Elcns was scandalous and was the subject
of frequent debates In congress. In 1820
the first lift of pensioners was published by
order of John C. Calhoun , then secretary of
war , to silence these scanduls. It shows
the names of 10,1(53 ( persons , drawing M total
of J3.20S.37C 3 > par the highest $45 and the
lowest $2 a month.
In ISOO the pension roll was smaller than
for , any tlmo since 1812 , and the disburse
ments for that jcar were only $1,100802. In
18ii ! : It touched high-water mark , when the
disbursements reached $101.77-1,282.
There nre 4.002 pensioners of the United
States living In foreign countries , and the
total amount paid them lost year was Jfil'J-
913. Canada hns nearly one-half of them
1,981 who draw nearly one-half of the total

"squeaky ' shoes , anJ the first thought of
remedies most often make the matter worse.
To remedy the squeak stand the bhous In a
di plate covered with Just enough turpen
tine to reach the line of the Inner solo with
out touching the "upper" leather. Let It
Eoak for a day and then drv for two days
before wearing , when It will be found that
the soles are not only noiseless , but water
proof , and will wear almost twice ai long.
The turpentine seems to harden the leather
without stiffening It.

Ono of the most Intercntlng of the clever
women wow In btiilncss llfo In New York Is
Mrs. Agnes K. Mutllc.tn.
She Is a real csUte broker In tipper Now
York , nntl has achieved a brilliant BUCCMS
In the unusual line she has chosen.
Although Mrs. Mulllcan Is only 32. she Is a
land appraiser of acknowleilRCtl reliability ,
antl her opinion Is sotiRht at all the street
opening or public bulhllns mcctliiRs , uherc
the question of land value Is nt Issue.
Among her clients nro some of the Inrsest
corporations nnd land on tiers of the metrop
olis , and the oltlcst real estate men fcol
proud , to rank her ns a business equal. Mrs
MItS. AGNUS MUI.UHAN.
Mulllr-nn Is 'he onlv woman member of the
Now York Heal ICstaie cxcruns . The story
of her imc"iislous hlil for th s honor Is a i us-
IliRlj' characteristic.
A certain wealthy sjiullcato announced Its
intention cf illspo&lni ; of RDIIIU valuable prop ,
city , ami nil the real eciato world wj on
the "titil vlve. " Several prominent b-oksrs
stood expectant , each with a wealthy cus
tomer , hut nothing could bo donu until ono
of the partners icturneJ from n trip to
Uuropciml slRtied certain papers.
Amrng the waiting brokers was Mrs. Mill-
ilcan , llien scarcely mo-e than a girl , jot
\\hllo the men Interested as her competitors
walled patiently nt the landing for the arrl-
\al of the steamship , she chartered a tug
and put out to sea , hailing the ship while
bhu wns still two hourn out.
Mrs Miilllcan then laid her cnso before
the man whoso slgintuie was of such Im
portance , obtained It , and sailed Into pirt
by his side to triumphantly greet the disap
pointed brokers.
The deals one of the 'firmest ' ever madp
In the annals of real estate history , and the
next day a special meeting was called bj
the olllccis of the. "New York Real Kstate
exchange " As its result , .Mrs. Mulllcan
wns elected Its Ilrst and only woman mem
ber.
ber.Mrs.
Mrs. Slulllcan Is a thorough New Yoiker ,
and familiar with e\ery foot of ground in
the Twenty-second and Twenty-third warJs.
Her Rrcat-gr mlfalher , George W , Wurncr ,
was mayor of Now York In 1S03 ,
Her father was * real estate broker , nnd
It was In Ms office during his last lllnc i

ot her btifllnco.
At that time xhe wns Miss Murphy , and
her father's death left her the brcadwlnncf
for the family , although she wns only a
} oung girl of IS.
The buslncfs nt thit time was \cry much
run down , but under her able management
It soon outgrew her father1 * most sanguine
expectations ,
She sns appointed notary public by Divld
II. 11111. She Is also a law > er and Insurance
agent. Her htislntes In all Its branches de-
minds tbo close attention of eight clerks ,
and only the grt-atcr matters are submitted
for her personal consideration.
She was the first woman to graduate from
the t'nlverslty l > nw school. She studied law
that she might butter conduct her reil estnti'
buslnesn , and It was while at college she
met her lawjer husbintl. Mrs. Mulllcaii re-

sway over the domestic circle may be She

very carefully reared , for Mrs Mulllcan Is a
doxotod mother , as womanly and free from
masculinity as > ou can possibly Imagine
Her face Is Intelligent rather tlmn beiutl
ful , although a hamliiome pair of large blue
eyes have a decided charm of their own

HlliiilliiUy AliNOt-liN Ton Much of n
( ( toil 'I'll I nil.
The use of salt as n condiment Is so gen
eral nnd so universally believed In .ID neces
sary that we rarely henr n word against Us
excessive use , sa > s tlio Journal of Hygiene ,
but there nre a multitude of pcrr\ms who
cat fnr too much silt ent It on everything ,
on meat , ( Ish , potatoes , melons , in butter
on tomatoes turnips ( urnl squash , In bread
a-d rn n ho l ofvlpotIS too" numerous to
mention To so gro.itvliu extent Is It used
that no food Is rellshcTl which has not a
salty tavto , and this hldcu more or lisx the
real tnsto , which Is often very delicate.
Now , the amount of salt require I In tht-
sja'cin Is comparatively sin-ill , nnd If the
diet hr.s been lightly compounded vcrj little
la necessary. Some go FO far ns to discard
Us use altogether , but whether this I' wise
or not we will not hero consider. What arc
borne of the cvl s of the excessive listof
fait ? They are to paialyzo the nerves of
taste , or to pervert them so they cat not
enjoy anything wh'eh has not a salty llavnr
and In addition there Id n diiect tax on loth
the skin and the kldnejs In removing It
from the blood. Whether the skin is harmed
by tlito tawe do not know Possibly It Is
not gicatly Injured , yet we know tint few
people possess a healthy tk'ri ; but It Is now
pietty well settled that an excessive use of
salt docs overtax the kidneys in its re
moval , and that the gr nt number of casca
of derangement nnd disease of these organs
lo due to this URC It tnkes only n little
tlmo to learn to ei'J.u many klncs of food
without salt , nntl we ad\i e our readers
and others to look Into this matter and to
try and diminish the use of thlb ( M-idlinent
so far ns possible. We blle\c > they will be
better for It.
Fact that

I luve suffered death a thousand
times. Language cannot express what
I have suffered during the past ten
years from female weakness. My
husband bought me a bottle of McGI-

has brought me I cannot express. It
is Woman's Relief , and I cannot help
but tell you how very grateful I feel.
