Vermont makes a very crcditablc show in
her different specimens of ware, which bi
fair to rival the porcelain and Paran nanHfoc-
tories Of Europe. The National Pottery
Company, Of Bennington, Vermont have on
exhibition porcelain, Parian, lava, and flint
ware, made wholly from American productions
These various materials are shown in their
crude s'atc, and compare iayorabiy with the
best found. The articles on exhibition are ur-
ranged upon tile floor, which covers a space
of seven square feet the tiles bcnr inlaid
with varicgatcd colors, in imitation of mosaic.
Upon this floor stands n monument ten feet
high the lower part Of it composed of lava
ware, or variegaed stone, the middle of 1t
composed of flint ware, and the upper portion
of It, bong circle of columns is made of
vancgatcd porcelain ware. Upon the summit
of this monument stands Paran stauctic
equal, as regards .lnenCSs Of material, TO any
Parlan slatuary in the exhibition. Around this
monument are distributed tables, CorinIhlan
capitals, statuarY, vases, urns, toilet sets. and
many specimens of domestic ware. from Yer
mont materials. This company are about to
enlarge their manutactory at Bennington and
when their contemplated improvements are
completed, the company expect to be able to
furnish porcelain and Paran equal to the
French or English, and at much lower prlcc,
from tie cheapness Of the materials and the
superior facilities for IT'S manufacture Those
wares are a new discovery in our country,
which may ultimately result in being source
of much wealth G, W. Fenton, who has de-
voted many years to the manufacture of earth
ern and stone ware, was the first to discover
an manufacture these articles of parian and
porcelain. In 1919 he obtained bis letters

Tru,iot,d fo,nth, Daishof Hans Chriyian 1ndc7sca.
Have you heard the shocking affair that has
taken place in a fowl-house?' asked hen
who lived in distant part Of the town. Hap
ply, we are SO many on the roost, or indeed
should be afraid of sleeping alone Tonight
And she related circumstance which caused
the feathers of the other hens to stand on end,
and the crest OF the cock to fall but it was
quite true!
Bat we will begin at the beginning: And
this took place in the fow-house IN another
quarter of the town. The sun went down, and
the fowls flew up. One Of thesc-slc had
short legs and white feathers, laid her egg
regularly every morning, and was altogether
respectable hcn-attcr having settled herself
on the roUSt, began pumlng herself with her
boak, and tiny feather dropped from her
coat.
There, now that's gone! said she. 'The
more trln my feathers, the more beautiful |
sha'l be- This she said in lghtness of heart
f1r she was the merriest soul in the poultry
vard, but otherwise, as have said, very wor-
thy hen. And hereupon she went to sleep.
Darkness reigned around. On the roost,
hen was closely pressed to hen, but the one
nearest to her who had Just spoken was not
asleep She heard, tn ugh she feigncd not to
herr as is the wisest way if we wolld yet
co tor,ably through the world; yet sh. could
not refrain from whispering to her neighbor on
the other side: Did you hear the words that
were spoken jus. now: | will not mention
names; but there is hen on the roost who
p cks her feathers to make herself look pretty
if were cock would despse her'
Opposite the fowl-house dwelt an owl, with
her owlIsh husband and young ones and these
