From the earliest times rude vessela of burnt clay were used to hold foods and though the potter's wheel and ef- fective methods of glazing earthen: ware have produced china beautiful beyond description, the common clay crock and bowl are still precious po:- sessions in the collection of our every day utensils. The greatest maker of earthenware in Eng®ind was Josiah Wedgewoo:l who made “the Potteries,” a strip of clay barrens, six by eight miles long. produce wares famous throughout the civilized world. The quality of the clay used decides the kind of pottery. stone china, or fine china that will be produced. The red crockery, of which crocks, pans, casseroles, marmites and such work-a-day dishes are made, is common brick clay. It is often glazed with litharge of lead ground with the clay. This glaze is almost transpa:- ent and the rich colors of the clay show through handsomely. The lead, however, has been found to cause in: testinal poisoning when acid foods have been kept in these convenient containers so that salt glazed ware S more in demand. In some countries lead-glazed vessels may not be sold for household use. The salt glaze is producéd’ by ‘throwing coarse salt into the kiln during firing. LONG-LOST BELL TOLLS AGAIN Restored After Mysterious Disappear- ance of More Than a Quarter of a Century. Exactly a quarter of a century, to the day, after the old bell that rang in the church on Cheniere Caminada went down in the awful storm that wrecked the settlement, it rang again on Grand isle last October as the party that came to dedicate the new church on the island stepped ashore from the boat, says the New Orleans Picayune. . This bell has an interesting history. Father D’Espinosa brought to the beach the costly plate of his family. But on Caminada beach there was tittle use for costly silver, so it was sold and the proceeds used to purchase a bell for the church. After the storm the bell lay negtect- ed in. the barren sand. Chapelle ordered the bell returned to the Caminada people. Then came a mysterious event. One morning the bell disappeared and for all these years its location was un- known, except perhaps to those who had secreted it. / The tones of the bell now float over the ‘same waters and 1ands—Ilands and waters famous in the history of Pirate Lafitte. 4 Areb Prophecy Fulfilled. There is an Arab legend which I heard often out in the East, that not until the Nile flowed into Palestine would the Turk be driven from Jeru- salem—a picturesque way of intimat- ing that the Turk would stay there for- ever (as in Virgil's First Eclogue a like prophecy was made, two thousand years ago, of the impossibility of the Germans reaching the Tigris). But the Nile now flows into Pales- tine, not metaphorically, but literally. I have seen the plant at Kantara, where (under the direction of a Ca- nadian engineer) the sweet water of the Nile is filtered and started on its journey through a 12-inch pipe ncross the desert toward Gaza. The 1iound of sand that protects it is visible a few yards from the railroad all the way from the Suez to the edge of Palestine. And the Turk has been driven from Jerusalem by the same forces that caused the water of the Nile to flow. into Palestine.—John H. Finley in Scribner's Magazine. Not Sufficiently Cooked. A hunter, more boastful than suc- cessfut, once joined a bear-hunting ex- pedition. During the hunt, as this man was resting by the side of a rock and talking with another hunter, he ‘remarked : “If there's anything I dote on, it’s bear. A slice of bear steak nicely done is perfect!” “Well,” said his companion, looking up, “I'm hanged if there isn’t a bear now!" The man who “doted on bear” looked up, saw an immense grizzly standing on the top of the rock, gave a yell and leaped into the woods and ¢isappeared. His companion soon overtook him, and said to the fugitive as he came up: “f thought you liked bear?” “Well, T do,” said the runaway; that one ain't done enough!” “but Whalers in the Sky. ‘The shooting of a whale with a ma- chine gun from his airplane by an American aviator oft the Pacific coast, near San Diego, Cal, a few days ago, opens up a new field of possibility in ‘the whaling industry. It suggests whaling ships of the future cruising forth with an equipment of airplanes and a complement of aviators and skilled gunners to scout for and bag these monsters of the deep. If it seems fantastic, one has only to remember that other Industries have been more startlingly revolutionized in the last 40 or 50 years by the invention of new appliances or the discovery of new processes. Archbishop | DECIDED TO “JINE’ LAFAYETTE "REALLY BIG THINGS IN LIFE “Mad” ARUIEHEY W Wayne Reconsidered His Determination Not to Accede to Frenchman's Request. Writing on “Lafayette in America,” in Forum. Count de ia Fayette, great- great-grandson of General Lafayette. told the following anecdote of his dis- tinguished ancestor, whose part in the revolution for American independence is well known: During the Virginia campaign Gen- eral Lafayette was once in need of re-enforcements and consequently sent his aid, Major Anderson, to General Wayne, the “Mad” Anthony. to ask him to join his command at a certain place and date. Major Anderson, on arriving at the headquarters of Gen: eral Wayne, explained to him the pur- pose of his mission. “Mad” Anthon} immediately went, as usual, into a great rage and, pacing to and fro in the room, started to curse “that d— Frenchman, that frog-eater,” ete. Ma- jor Anderson very quietly allowed the storm to pass and then sat down, took out his pencil and started to write. Seeing this, General Wayne asked him what he was doing. to which Major Anderson replied that he was taking some notes to make a faithful report to General Lafayette. That answer brought forth another outburst. but by and by General Wayne listened to the. explanation of Major Anderson and finally exclaimed: “Tell him I'll jine him. By G , I'll jine him!” And, in. deed, the next day he joined General Lafayette’s command. TROUBLE FOLLOWS WET FEET Frequently Unsuspected Cause of Trouble tc Which Many Are Ad- dicted—Keep Hair Dry. There is an Indirect relationship between the feet and the ear. There are persons immune, the majority coryza or feet become wet or They will sniffle. stuffy and a slight cold with ringing in the ears follows.

An amusing story is told of the ex- ploit of Lieutenant Cooper, Captain Swan in his book “My Com- pany.” Cooper was a moving-picture man. A regiment of infantry was to “hop off” early in the morning. going ver to take a certain town. ‘<< oop” was right out there working his movie on the boys going ahead. Suddenly, to his consternation, eight Boches came out of a shell hole right in front of him. He started to “kamerad.” but to his surprise all eight of the enemy threw up their hands and “kamerad- od.” He took heart, began to realize what the situation was, and turned the crank of the camera as fast as he could. Shrieks and more “kamerad- ing” from the Huns. They thought he had a machine gun on them! It was a laughable sight to see this moving- pictureman marching behing the eight Boches. all their “hardware” on him, and they carrying his moving-picture apparatus. Berlin Under * Indictment. Berlin has been known for many years as the most corrupt city in Burope. but few German newspapers have spoken so frankly about it as the Cologne Volkszeitung. Here is its latest indictment. “We should rejoice to see a fire descend from heaven and reduce to cinders the horrible Babel of Berlin. To hell with the Berliners. people without soul and without heart, implacable foes of all Kultur. In the great record book of humanity a mon- strous debt of blood is inscribed against Berlin. He who has not yet made himself acquainted with the re- volting sentiments which have pre vailed in the Prussian capital for cen- turies is wilfully blind. Berlin is an immense moral cesspool. We refuse to be any longer under its sway.” The Bottom Fact. It was related that a famous Amer- ican surgeon became famous because of the thoroughness of his methods. When a patient came to him he first ran down every symptom and every cause of the trouble until he got at the primary cause. It is a good idea to follow, whether a man be a surgeon, a lawyer, a4 me- chanic or a farmer. The thing to do i= to get at the fact at the bottom of all the other facts. The idea is well illustrated by the old saw about the horsesiioe nail. “For want of a nail the shoe was lost,” it says; “for want of a shoe the horse was lost; for want of a horse the rider was lost; for want of a rider the battle was lost: and sli for the want of a horseshoe nail.” we might say, | from ear complications, regardless of | any consistent care of their feet, but ! have ! if their | even dampened. | their head becomes | told by [3 | Not Riches, Power or Glory, but Con- tentment Is the Greatest of All Essentials. If you were to ask what is the big ' | thing in life, some one would tell you ; that it is riches, another would say | that it is power, still another would | say that it is glory, says Los Angeles Times.’ But they would all be mistaken. Those who regard any of these things, or all of them put together, as the big thing in life, lack both knowledge and dreams, which two things combined constitute philosophy. The big thing in life is contentment. | Saul of Tarsus, who afterward was { Paul the Apostle and a wiser and a | better man, went deep into everything of this nature. He had not only his own vivid and strenuous experiences to draw from, but he had also the wis- dom that comes out of that great light ! which halted him on the road to Da- | mascus.
