And what other city is so conveniently

rounding territory the fullest proofs of
the advancement and vast strides which
have been made in agriculture.
To the north are the rich sheep and
cattle interests of Ohio. The valley of
the beautiful river is rich with it's cereal
crops; the blue grass regions of Kentucky
extend to the east and west, and the
grain growing areas of Indiana and Hi

truth, may be considered as the natural

RooKwooD JUGS AND JARS.

Everything is made at lockwood from
pepper-boxes and after-dinner coffee cups
to claret jugs and rose jars. In fact, the
controlling idea in the enterprise has
been to apply art to simple things and to
common materials. In order to form O
style as distinctive as possible no direct
imitation of other wares has been at
tempted. Clay has been chosen only
from the Ohio valley, first-class artists in
Europe, America and Japan have been
secured, originality has been encouraged
and quality has never been sacrificed to
quantity. A steady adherence to these
ideas, without regard to immediate COM
mercial interest, has placed Rookwood
faience in the front rank of ceramic art.
In America it is unequalled and in Europe
it's artistic success is cordially ac-
knowledged.
During the Centennial Exposition
lockwood ware, aside from its own
merit, will have an especial interest, for
Rookwood pottery was founded by a
daughter of the Longworths, Mrs. Maria
Longworth Storer. The history of the
Longworths in Ohio is the history of Gin
vinnati itself, especially in it's artistic de-
velopments The Art Museum, the Art
School and Rookwood pottery, these three
bear witness to their iberality and en-
couragement, but the greatest of these,
in practical results, is the pottery.
Visitors are welcomed there with charm
ing cordiality, and pleasant morning
may be spent in making a tour of the
rooms and watching the artists at their
work. The big wheel, patiently turned
by womans hand, the potter bending
iatently over the wet clay that seems
,live under his fingers, and beyond the
low window, with a tracery of leaves
across the pane, might be a picture Of
medieval days, recalling Longfellow's
Keiramos with its famous song of the
potter,
''Turn, turn, my wheel; turn round and
round,
Without pause, without a sound:
So spins the flying world away.
This clay well mixed with mart and sand,
Follows the heSmotisn of my hand,
For some must follow and some command,
Though all are made OF clay Z"
In another room man is busy filling
molds with liquid clay, and in still an

made after original designs by Rookwood
artists. ID

gray, as rare as it is beautiful. Another
jar, tall and slender, in color, per-
feet bit of mahogany, has glaze so
brilliant that it might have been polished
for hundred years. About the slender
throat few angry clouds seem drifting
and underneath huge serpent lifts its
hideous head and seems to undulate
about the body of the jar The effect is
superbly decorative and thoroughly artis'
tic. Another vase of the same type is in
delicious tint-a little more than green
and little less than blue-the handles
exquisitely shaped and carrying out the
idea Of the decoration-a mass of strug-
Cling serpents falling into space
In all it's styles the characteristic feat
ure of Rookwood ware is that the color
grounds are decorative in themselves,
and that their combinations are used to
reinforce the applied decoration. For the
latter not only Japanesque dragons, but
natural flowers and conventional forms
are used. AS the decoration is all free
hand, done by trained artists, there is no
limit to the variety and freedom of its
treatment. The result is that no two
pieces are exactly alike, except as to
shape. Here is picture of some of the
prettiest models.

TT LIVED A MONTH.
Amusing Wiud-up of the Business
Venture of German and
Frenchman.

The tailoring establishment of
Schubert & Lamey, on the South
Side, has ceased to exist. Scarce
a month has passed since the firm
began business and now the death
of the concern is recorded in the
business annals of the city. Its
demise brings out an amusing tale
of the partnership of a German
and a Frenchman, neither ofwhom
can present a good sentence in the
English language. The French
man, Mr.. Lamey, invested $500
and his experience IN the business,
while Mr.. Schubert put in just s3S,
his experience and a superior
knowledge of the American tongue.
To what extent he knew more
about our language than Mr.. Lamey
is not known, but at any rate a
verbal contract, consisting Of
an endless chatter of French, Ger
man and English was entered into.
The firm existed scarce two
weeks when the partners disagreed.
Mr.. Schubert said he had express
ed himself clearly as expecting
half of the profits, with none of the
expenses to bear. Mr.. Lamey in
sisted that the proposition had not
reached his French ears in that
way and would listen to nothing
but a pro rata division of both in
ceme and expense. A war of
words followed, in which no less
than three languages were murder
ed. The result was the withdrawal
of Mr.. Schubert, who demanded
that his $39 be returned. The
money was forthcoming and the
gentleman from over the Rhine re-
tired, leaving his Partisan partner
to battle with the English language
and reduced prices on pants alone.
Mr.. Lamey tried it awhile, but he
had to give up in a few days. He
was all right or the bench, but
when it come to showing a piece Of
goods to a customer and explaining
how it would look, the ~intricacies
of our vernacular paralyzed him.
He succeeded very well in telling
a gentleman that a certain piece of
cloth would make ''nobby" pair
of trousers and growing confident,
ventured beyond his depth with
the astonishing remark:
