earths were more abundant in this country
than in Europe. Already more than half
the china in common use is home made,
and a vast improvement we find, this semi
opaque porcelain on the old fashioned
stone-china and queensware. All the
varieties OF ornamental ware are made
here, such as decorating tiles, majOlica.
and imitation wedgewood. 1t ought to be
the pride Of a good American to hunt out,
and do justice to the productions of home
art, just rs they come up to the desirable
standard, and which they are fast doing.
THE PRICE OF BEING ILLUSTRATED.
Would yon like 10 know the price of
fame at last quotations Young readers
who envy the fortunate musician or literary
man who is brought SO far into notice that
the public demand to know how he looks,
and where he dimes. when he was born,
and what he has done since he was OF age
to speak, listen. Whatever pious or useful
work you 90 for the world. short of taking
a gun-boat fleet, or reaching Wachtel's
high Z as tenor, do not expect to find an
artist at your bedroom door, beseeching
your picture for the Illustrated papers.
Such was once the case. but the pictorial
newspapers have changed all that. Ii you
choose to furnish your imperial photograph,
and pay $3.50 in addition. you may have
the pleasure Of seeing your face in q full
page portrait. with the privilege f writing
your own history TO be added thereto.
The managers of public singers and ac-
tresses pay for the publication of their
pictures as part OF necessary advertising.
1t is a special vanity with manufacturers
10 have pictures of their factories and p0r-
traits printed side BY side. though what
good print Of long blank looking build
ings. coupled with that of snub-nused
man, with hair brushed into perpendieu-
agony. as the genuine crystalline, salt
works and proprietor, can do the business
is one of the insCrutable mysteries known
only To the advertising clerk, who pockets
$50 for the operation. Such is life.
CRUETY TO CHILDREN.
a society has been inaugurated in New
York for the prevention of cruelty to chill
dren, under the patronage of many proni-
nent and excellent persons. 1t will protect
the child against brutal father. and try
to save il from a life of SIN and shame Il
will also shield tho illused wife, and look
into cases where the officers of the law have
cruelty maltreated a child. 1t is an excel
lent and humane idea, and deserves every
encouragement, for this .um- ridden city
there more cruelty to women and children
than there is to animals. And the abused
wife or child is just as helpless as the abus-
ed horse. The child cannot Complain. and
the wife will not, for she knows that when
the law has withdrawn its protection the
brute who beats her will beat her again for
complaining. The so :iety ough, to have
ample powers and ample funds.

You who take the morning refresher, the
MONDAY sustainer, or the evening sOother,
