A novel and remarkable exhibition
was given at the Westminster musee tho
other day, when Harry F1axman, tine
clever pottery worker, undertook thefeat
of making an entire tea set of forty-four
one-half minutes. When it was an
nounced that such an attempt would be
made, those who were ~unacquainted with
the young man from Wedgwood's great
pottery establishment, England, offered
wagers that it could not be accomplished.
Much interest was manifested by the
large number present when Manager
Bingham gave the word and Flaxman
began his task, while several watches
licked of the minutes. The pliable clay
was manipulated with deft and skillful
fingers and twelve cups and saucers
adorned the board in short order. Then
twelve plates were piled upon each other,
and then four large plates, n teapot,
sugar bowl and two other vessels sprang
up as if by magic, all shapely md al
most perfectly formed. When the last
piece was finished the hands on the ma
jority of the watches indicated the lapse
of eight minutes from the time of start
ing, and the remarkably quick work
man rested, beaten by n half minute.
But he can make the set in seven and
one-half minutes under more favorable
circumstances. The whole work, in
Guiding molding, is accomplished by the
fingers, and the only tools used are a
thin brass wire for cutting the clay and
n small revolving wheel.-Providence

"a assure you no one learns dressmak
Ing for fun. Sometimes ladies learn it in
order to understand better the fitting q
their own gowns, but one usually learns
because she expects to make n living by
the trade
The speaker was a fashionable uptown
molistc, and she was telling a reporter
some of the secrets of her profession.
About the room were seated n number of
quiet, neat looking girls, all sewing.
Arc there any schools where dress
making is taughtsn was asked.
II never heard of any. When a girl
desires TO learn the business, she usually
COS as an apprentice, as Mt any other
trade"
How long does it AXE to learn the
tradeg''
THAT greatly depends upon the stu
dent. Usually n girl should master the
tridc in one season. a good drcssmaker
should have n quick eye for form and
color. She should be something of All
artist in addition to having mere mechan-
ical skill. Most women know something
about sewing, and nave little difficulty,
but when it comes to fitting, trimming
and finishing dresses, where real taste
and Judgment are required, the novice is
almost helpless"
What can n dressmaker earn after she
has learned the trade,'
at all depends upon her skill and
ability. If she is smart she can get $3.50
n day, but she may not get more than
$3.50. That is after she has taken les
sens for one season. Forewomcn who SUI
perintend the work earn about $25 II
week. They are women of long eXpe
licnce in the trade. So far MS dressmak-
ins ut home is concerned, the paper pat
terms have simplihed matters n great deal.

An intelligent Chinaman in Oakland,
Cal, says: ''Chinamen hate to have the
bodies of their friends go to the morgue.
They will do almost anything rather than
have a body laid on the morgue slab and
left in charge of the coroner. Ere
quently their actions lead to suspicion
where there is really no ground for it.
This fact Is accounted for by n peculiar
belief current among the less intelligent
Chinese. / have been assured many
times solemnly that tho coroner, when
he had taken tho body to the morguc,
poured over it some sort of magic lotion
that had the result of causing all tho

and sold to American doctors, who use it
in medicines and magic charms, In sup

The catacombs, then. were excavated
by the early Christians for the express
and sole purpose of burying their dead.
The hope of the resurrection of the body
made them averse to the custom of Gre
nation then prevailing among the Greeks
and the Romans. They adhered to the
older Jewish custom of buryiHg the dead
in rock hown tombs and galleries. Hence
the close resemblance of Jewish and
Christian cemeteries in Rome. After
Constantine, when the Christians could
afford to buy and hold land and could
bury their dead without fear of distur-
bance, they located theii cemeteries above

Mother SWANS Telegraph.

''The very earliest telegraph in Amer.
lea, said great-grandpa, seating himself
in his story spinning chair and taking
Bright Eyes on his knee, "was in active
operation in Vermont while the first set
tiers were doing their best to become
actually settled. Mother Swan lived there,
in the center of what is now q flourishing
town, but which was then a painless
forest; and, being a widow, was obliged
to look out herself for her little garden
and live stock.
every morning the COWS were let out
to feed, and went straying away through
the woods, and sometimes, by 3 o'clock,
lot a tinkle of their bells could be heard.
Then Mother Swans telegraph came into
play.
"She had eight children, and these she,
sent to find the wandering animals; but
she did not dispatch them together, for
then they might easily have become lost
in the woods. The youngest child was
stationed just far enough from the house
for her mother to hear if she should call;
the next in size went only far enough to
DC able to communicate with the first,
and 50 the line stretched out.
''When the one at the farther end of
the line changed his position, in looking
for the cows, he shouted directions back
to the next station, and SO the line moved
to left or right, as the case might be,
perhaps ending before the cows were
found, in describing a circle about the
house, exactly as that might be done by
the minute hand of a clock, the log
cabin, with the anxious mother, being at
the center of the dial.
"At the first tinkle of the COW bells,
'Foundr cried Number Eight, and
'Found!' repeated Number Seven; and
SO the news ran along the line, until
Mother Swan herself received it. And
the little sentinels kept their places until
the COWS had been collected and driven
home, as nearly as might be in the line
