A Prima-Donna's Bric-a- Brac.

Three vases, a centre and two side pieces,
made by Miss Mclaughlin of Cincinnati to fill
an order from Miss Annie Louise Cary, are on
exhibition at the Decorative Art salesrooms in
Cincinnati. These vases are of enamelled
faience, rich and brilliant in the changeful
glow of color. The centre piece is fiat Pill
grim jar of rich, iridescent, mottled green,
against which the sunlight breaks into pris-
matte hues and shining CLEANS. On one side
is a spray of flowers, swaying grasses and mar
guerites, which are in quite perceptible relief.
On the other side is butterfly soaring alone
in space.
This vase seems to be identical with that one
so exquisitely pictured in the new novel, ''Two
of U.s." where Theodore speaks of "a vase
with flowers melting through-modelled flow
ers, heavy with color and bloom. You looked
at them with the ends of your fingers they ap-
pealed so to your sense of touch. Who wouldn't
be passionate pilgrim to drink from such a
jar as that? It's the Simoyso glaze,
which has just been re-discovered by lady
artist. 1t is exquisite. That is the way Cana
the Beautiful defed the ages"
The two side vases are Of the most liquid,
VI
brings the roses out on such June mornings
The brilliancy of the enamel is like sunshine
on crystal and as changeful as the crest OF
foam ON the waves. On these side vases a
spray of roses is breaking its heart of passionate
bloom against that background of reposeful
softly-shaded blue; roses that have story to
tell you of ''roses and butterflies shared on q
FAM" if you will linger to listen; roses that
seem flung down to breathe their life away in
perfume.
The vases are all of the common red clay an6
made in the Cincinnati pottery. The wonder
full beauty of their decoration is unsurpassed by
anything done previously by this artist, Mis-
Mclaughlin.
These vases will be on exhibition for a few
| days in Cincinnati, when they will be sent tt
| Miss Cary, at her home in this city.

GINGER AS A ToNIC.-The agreeable warm
ing properties of JAMAICA GINGER render it
especially desirable to those who are troubled
with fatulency and the frequent stomachic
difficulties which attend ON dyspepsia; and its
use not only relieves the immediate difficulty
but prevents more serious troubles from OBJ
tanning the mastery. To have this genial and
invigorating remedy at hand, in time OF inter
nal distress, should be the duty of ALL especial
ly Of those having young children whose La
bility to COLES and childish disarrangements
gives parents the greatest anxiety. The best
preparation for family purposes is undoubtedly

extant for the relief of cramps and pains and
ailments peculiar to change of season, climate
