y few years ago the New York Sun
was accepted as the model American
newspaper. II confined itself to four
closely printed pages, and the general
noRs OF the day was presented with
astonishing oompactncss. Editorially it
was a model of pure and rigorous English.
Throughout it was picturesquelY written,
while the leading topic of the day was
given without circumlocution but with
the greatest attention to detail.
About this time the great Chicago
dailirs began to make their impress felt
il the Journalism Of the day. Expansion
and not condensation was their motto.
The chief delight Of their publishers
seemed to lie to print papers in
winch absolutely all the news of the day
was given with a circumstaltiality that
was almost appalling to their poor
overworkcd readers. In the course
Of this time they began TO gradually
usurp the functions Of the maya
zines and cover the fields OF liter
allure. art, science and letters as
well as the field of news. With this dis.

An outfit of five pounds of clay, a
sharp jack knife and one tool will do
many wonders. This tool is made out
of a piece Of maple eight inches long;
one end made Hat about one-half inch
wide, from the center gradually be-
coming thinner until il is as thin as a
knife blade. From the middle slope
down To the other end; hollow out the
center, then sand paper until per-
fcctly smooth.
If the clay is not used Immediately
after purchasing, put it in any sort Of
a dish and cover with a wet wooden
rag, keeping the rag wet,
Now for the work. It is better to
buy a plaster slab, which costs only
ten or fifteen cents at any pottery, al
though this is not necessary. us n com
mon board or marble slab will do.
In the first place make n tile six by
four inches. and about one inch thick
by kncading the clay until all Jumps
are worked out, then throw it on the
slab to make tho clay more compact
With n rolling pin roll until n little
thicker than required.
If there should happen to DO bubbles
in the clay. prick them with n pin.
Fill up the holes and make the tile
smooth by rubbing it with moistened
fingers. Turn il over and repeat the
operation. If it is now thicker than
required smooth il down and with the
jack knife cut it to the proper length
and width.
Take II leaf for n model, for il is
better TO work right from nature;
mako an exact drawing of it, outline
and veins, with the curved end of the
tool. If the drawing cannot be done,
n tracing may be substituted. Take
tho other end of tho tool and cut this
outline one-half inch deep and then
with n jack knife cut away the clay
outside the leaf, smoothing down the
new surface.
Make tho d~epressions in the clay
leaf IS in the real one. Sometimes
the finger will be sufficient, sometimes
the curved end of the tool will be nee
essary. There will always be some
finishing touches To add which the
worker must see for himself.
When it is nearly dry put in n back
ground by simply rubbing the curved
end of the tool over it in strokes. If
the leaf proves n success take il TO u
pottery, where for n few cents it al
be fired. Otherwise il will crack and
crumblc away. If the leaf is unsuc-
cessful the clay can be worked over
and used again.
After n leaf or two have been made
satisfactorily you can model flowers
or make something useful MS well as
ornamental, such as match boxes, ash
receivers and Thermometer holders,
and, perhaps, after practice you will be
able 10 model figures. -Thyrza @. Will
