MAKING PORCELAIN.
The Most Exciting and Romantie
Trade In the World,
The maker of porcelain and pottery
has decidedly the most exciting and ro-
mantic trade in the world.
The great factories of Sevres and
Dresden were founded by Bernard
Palissy.
enamel, but it took him sixteen years
to make the invention—sixteen years of
hunger, misery and persecution, which
culminated in the episode, used in H.
A. Jones’ play of “The Middleman"
wherein Palissy maintained his furnace
fire by burning all the furniture in his
house and finally opened the furndee
door to find within the glaze which he
had sought throughout the best years
of his life.
Bottgher invented hard porcelan.
He was an alchemist, and one diy,
chancing to discover that his powdered
wig was unusually heavy, he inquired
the cause and found that the weight
was due to the kaolin with which the
wig was powdered. This kaolin wat
the substance for lack of which Bott:
gher's investigations had for years
failed.
When Elers opened a porcelain fac
tory at Burslem he employed none bu:
the most stupid and illiterate workmen,
so that his secret processes might no;
become known. But Samuel Astb
resolved to learn the Elers method, a
affecting ignorance and stupidity,
got a place in the factory, mastered a
of Elers' secrets and eventually open
a plant of his own, wherein he dupli
ed in every detail the work of Bless.

MANY, MANY DOCTORS. |
A Sixteenth Century Wager That
Might Be Won Today. i
The story is told in Joubert's “Pop
lar Errors Concerning Medicine,” pu
lished at Bordeaux, France, in 15
that one Gonelle, a jestegpt the cou
of the Duke of Ferrara, insisted on
upon a time that the trade which
the most followers was that of doct
To prove his assertion he left his ho
one morning to go to the palace wi
his nightcap on and his jaws wra
up. The first person he met stoppd
him with the question, “What is tie
matter with you, Gonelle?” “A terribé
toothache.” “Ob, is that all? I'll td
you what will cure it.” And every pes
son he met had some advice to gie
him. i
When the jester reached the dukes
chamber, the same question and ag
swer were repeated. “Ab,” sald
prince, “I know of something that w'
take the pain right away.” Gone
instantly threw up his kerchief, sayin;
“And you, too, monseigneur, are a d
tor? I have only passed through o
street in coming from my house to ya
and have counted more than 200
them. I believe I could find 10,000 3
the city.” Whether the story is true ¢
false, it could be told again in of
days, and Gonelle would win his wage
without dispute.
The Stars Were Once Human Eyes
The most remarkable belief or sipe-
stition concerning the human ey Is
one that is current in Austmlia.
Among the natives of that country it
is the general belief that the left eye
of every chief becomes a star the mo-
ment the chief in question is done vith
it. The sun, they say, Is the eye of the
“greater god” and the moon the ey: of
the “lesser god.” All the stars were
once the left optics of human beings of
high rank. Shungle, a celebrated clief,
once ate the eye of a valiant chef,
thinking thereby to increase the bri-
liancy of his own “eye star.” But the
eye burned through Shungle’'s bell
and killed him, whereupon his own leit
eye became joined to the one he lad
eaten, and the two may now be seen
as a beautiful double star lying just to
the east of the Southern Cross,
Liquid Corn,
An easterner was prospecting in the
north Georgia mountains when be
came on a native apparently clin,
to the side of a steep hill tilling corn.
The prospector stopped for a cha
and the mountaineer, nothing loath f.
a rest in the shade from his fatigu
toil, was agreeable.
“Say, friend, how in the world do yo1
get the corn down off that hillside aft
er it Is ready for harvest?” asked the
stranger,
“In jugs,” was the laconic and prok
ably truthful reply.—Atlanta Georgian.

LACE BARK TREES.
The Beautiful and Serviceable Dress
Materials They Yield,
There are iz all about half a dozen
lace bark trees in the world, so called
because the inner bark yields a natural
lace in ready made sheet form, which
can be made up in serviceable articles
of apparel. Only four of these curious
species of trees are of much practical
value. Tourists who have stopped at
Hawail or Samoa may recall the lace
bark clothing of the natives—clothing
of a neat brown color when new, of re-,
markable strength and of a fragrant
odor, like freshly cured tobacco leaf.
The native tapa cloth, as it is called,
is made from the bark of the Bruso-
netia papirifera, but it is not usually
included among the real lace bark
trees. In its natural state the real lace
bark is of a delicate cream: white tint.
It is probably a kind of fibrous pith.
When the outer bark is removed it can
be unfolded and unwound in one seam-
less piece, having a surface of a little
more than a square yard. Washing
and sun bleaching give it a dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is airily
light. It is used in the West Indies for
mantillas, cravats, collars, window cur-
tains—in a word, for every purpose
that ordinary lace is used. In making
up shawls, veils and the like it is cus-
tomary to piece two sheets of lace
bark together. Delicate and apparently
weak as it is in single mesh, a bit of
lace bark if rolled into a thin string
will all but resist human strength to
break it.—New York World.
UNCONGENIAL FLOWERS.
Mignonette and Roses, For Instance,
Will Not Mix.
The florist frowned as he took up an
order for a table decoration. “That
will never do,” he muttered. After
calling up the customer and suggest-
ing a change, he told his new clerk a
few things.
“You must never take an order that
calls for a mixture of mignonette and
roses,” he said. “A centerpiece of
those two flowers wouldn't last half
through the luncheon. They simply
wilt one another. I don't know why,
but they can't get along together.
“It is true of many flowers. Pansies,
for instance, last twice as long if they
are not combined with any other flow-
er, and the same may be said of vio-
lets. Jonquils and daffodils, on the
other hand, seem to get a new lease
of life if you combine considerable
green with them. Carnations will go
all to pieces if you combine them with
roses, although the roses do not seem
to be affeéted.
“It is more striking in combinations
of green with flowers. If you try to
use an entirely different type of fo-
liage from what the flower is used to,
it won't last so long. So I never put
feathery foliage with lilies of the val-
ley, for you know its natural foliage
Is a thick leaf. I never use thick leaves
with carnations, for their foliage is of
the feathery type. It isn't as though
the flowers fought, but they seem to
grieve at being misunderstood.”—New
York Press.
A Lure For Cock Robin,
Two coins clinked together give so
good an imitation of the robin’s metal-
lic note that this device has long been
employed in England to attract the
welcome “harbinger of spring.” For-
merly male rebins were snared by the
clinking of two copper pennies near a
dummy bird. The dummy was perched
on a twig smeared with bird lime, and
cock robin, attracted by the sound and
suspecting a rival, flew at him with
blood in his eye. This is in violation of
the bird laws in the United States, and
no one who lives where robins make
their home in confidence is likely to
give the odd trick so unpleasant a
finale. The clinking coppers serve a
much more agreeable purpose as a
means of rendering cock robin socia-
ble.
The Iuns of Old England.
Efforts were coatinually being made
in England to keep down the number
of iuns. In the reign of Edward I.
there were only three in the whole of
London. Even in 13532 no more than
forty were legally permitted in the me-
tropolis, now spreading out its bound-
aries on every side. York might have
eight, Norwich, Exeter and Cambridge
four, Bristol six and Oxford three.
These regulations must have been set
at naught in a very wholesale manner,
for half a century later there were 400
“houses of call” in that part of London
known as the City and no fewer than
twenty-four clustered round Covent
Garden. In mediaeval Oxford it was
ruled that no “victualer” was eligible
for the office of mayor, and this term
included an innkeeper,

Ignorance may not be biiss, but it is

Queer Drummers.
“There's a story,” sald a drummer,
“about a commercial traveler whose
line was tunnels and post holes for
fences. Him I never met. I did meet
once, though, a drummer selling iron
churches and suspension bridges. An-
other time I met a drummer who sald
his line was pupils. What did he mean
by pupils? He meant, I found, glass
eyes for stuffed animals, for dolls and
for human beings. One of this man's
favorite amusements was to open his
sample case and ask the people present
to pick out the eye that best matched
their own. The people made awful
mistakes in this, for nobody, it seems,
knows the color of his own eyes.”—
Cincinnati Enquirer.
What Father Does,
Mothers may talk, work, struggle to
make their sons models by which to
shape a new heaven and a new earth.
But the boy's world is In the man
who is his father, and the boy believes
that whatever may be right on Sun-
days or at prayer times the things that
are really good, that really count in
life, are what father does. Moreover,
it is what father does which defines
the means with which the boy shall
work, the sphere wherein his efforts
shall be shaped. In a word, what fa-
ther does is the beginning as it Is the
end of the boy's achievements.—Har-
per’'s Bazar.
Precocious Fox,
Charles James Fox is probably the
only man who ever made a maiden
speech In the commons while still a
youth in his teens. He was nineteen
when he took his seat for Midhurst,
and within a few months he had made
three excellent speeches. And yet
even at this early age Fox used fre-
quently to sit up all night drinking and
gambling.

“1'd like to know.” began the thought-
