Among the many storos Lincoln used to
relate was the following: Trudging along
lonely road one morning on my way to
the county seat, Judge - overlook me
with his wagon and invited me to seat.
We had not gone far before the wagon
began to wobble. Said. /, Judge, think
your coachman has taken drop too much. !"
Putting his head out of the window, the
judge shouted: "Why, you internal scoun-
del, you are drunk !"
Turning round with great gravity, the
coachman said; "Be dad but that's the
frs rightful s'cision your Honor's givn N
twel' mont"
II people knew the facts they would be
surprised to learn how many people reel in
the streets who never "drink drop" They
are the victims of sleeplessness, OF drowsy
days, of apoplectic tendencies, whose blood
is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they
will reel no more-they will drop dead, just
because they haven't the moral courage to
defy uselessprofessiona attendance, and by
use If the wonderful Warmers safe cure
neuJralize the uric acid in the system and
thus get rid of the drunkenness in the
blood. 1.-THE american R'tr0l Home.

CERAMICS.
How Fashionable Chicago Girls Spend
Their Leisure Hours.


Their Leisure Hours.
So popular have ceramics become in
Chicago that pottery he's been estab-
lished here which turns out great deal
of very creditable ware. Underglazed
faence ware and decorations in paste
are done at this pottery, although a
good deal of Limoges brought from
Ohio is used in the work. 1t arrives, of
course, in crude state, and it takes
some time to reduce it to proper form.
1t is first washed in plunger until it
is dissolved. Then it is run through a
fine silk lawn, which catches all the i'm
purities, in the shape of pebbles and
grit, and leaves the pure clay. This is
allowed to settle in vat until the water
rises to the top. This is then skinned
off, leaving the clay about the consist
ency of putty. A fire is kindled under
it, which evaporates any remaining
moisture, and the clay is ready for use.
The potter then chats OUT the clay,
which he uses like sheet of pie-crust,
and by means of a plaster of paris mold
forms into any desired shape. The
plaster absorbs the moisture in the clay,
and the form is thereby simply ''shrunk
out" of the mold. The shape is yet
soft, and in this condition it passes into
the hands of the decorator.
1t may be decorated in several ways.
1t may be painted with mineral color,
which is mixed with soft clay, or 'slip, y
to give it body which will neutralize
with the clay while burning, or flowers
may be modelled in relief upon it, or il
may be carved. There are three kinds
of carving-relief, intaglio, and what is
called tracing" on a picked back.
ground.
After passing through the decorative
process the form is carefully dipped into
a vat of glaze-a chemical composition
the combination of which is secret
This gives the finish or surface.
The piece must then be allowed tt
dry thoroughly, for, should it contain
any moisture when put into the kiln
steam would be generated and the form
broken. When dry, the form is sub
jected to a fierce heat for eighteen
hours in a bricked-up kiln, and when i
comes out of the furnace it is under
glazed faience

One of the chief factors contributing
more largely than any other to the
rapid settlement in this region was
the, building of the Northern Pacific
Railroad through these important
States and Territories. Its construc-
ton was made possible by the liberal
grant Of lands made for that purpose
by the general Government. The line
was opened for through traffic about
two years ago, and considering the
progress already made in develop
ing the rich agricultural, grazing,
