disposed of by INSCRIPTIONS dealers as
genuine Siegburg ware. .. 1 .
In the year 1914, it appears that the
Earl of Isenbourg, with commendable
sagacity, made grants of land and gave
exemptions from taxation, with other
tempting privileges, to one Bartrain
Knodtgen, a potter of Siegburg, by way
of inducing him and his fellow-workers
to transfer their art from it's old home
and to settle in this locality. The men
of Siegburg and of Raeren thus encour-
aged focked into the new country, and
found there the peace and the protec-
ton for which in their old homes they
had sighed in vain. Their art thus
transplanted has survived many vicis-
STUDIES, at times has been well-nigh
extinguished, but has happily revived,
and it fourishes to-day in greater
volume than ever. the name Of

Its own sufficient to make it easily dis

the Limbourg center from which it had
been imported. As general rule, it
may be said that one seldom finds
original figure subjects, or delicate
friezes of ornamentation, such as those
which are the glories Of the treasured
examples of old Siegburg and Raeren.
When subjects OF this kind are found
they are generally borrowed from the
older types. The relief ornamentation
was generally impressed by small metal
seals, and these rosettes were then con-

made In F1emish-land; but, as will pres
emily be seen, the scoffers are wrong:
The province of Limburg, however,
now divided between Germany and Bel
gium, which was 50 long one of the
principal seats of this manufacture, has
always been frontier State. and had
always been up to 1914 subject to the
counts and other rulers of Flanders. l.
The ware Is in truth essentially Ger
man in its history, and in the character
1stics Of it's diversified forms and: artis-
tic embellishments. The precise date
and place Of its origin remain unknown.
A well-authenticated fragment Of the
brown ware bears the date of 1889; but
examples of rude, unglazed, white
ware, and of coarse, earthen body of
dark gray, smeared with lead glaze,
have been found in excavations, and
may be supposed to have been the pro-
auctions of a very remote period. But
evidently, by the middle of the sixteenth
century the art had attained to some
thing like perfection. For two centur-
les Germany retained the monopoly, and
kept Europe supplied with drinking ves-
sells adapted very much to the tastes, to
the measures and to the usageso of differ
ent lands. It was toward the end of the
eighteenth century when a successful
attempt was made by one Dwight, of
Fulham, to produce the like articles in
England. This was, however, period
of remarka able activity among En-
glish potters. The picturesque, though
rude, puzzle-jugs and tygs had been the
product of much ingenuity; but they
were disappearing before the beautiful
salt-glaze ware, much of which has nev-
er been excelled in perfection of form
and sharpness of ornament, and which
had attained to the highest degree of
artistic quality before the advent of
Josiah Wedgwood.
The stoneware, however, properly so
called, was probably produced in num-
berless localities all over Germany and
the low countries, where suitable clay
and natural aptitude existed. But there
are few districts to which peculiar in
terest attaches; these were seats of
characteristic and often remarka BILE
original styles. Among the most notable
places was Siegburg, situated not far
from Bonn, on tributary of the Rhine.
There were produced the tall, cylindri-
cal cannettes in what was long known
as Cologne ware, and other articles of a
like kind in white body, often I'M
glazed, but richly embossed with elab-
crate figures and ornaments in relief.
biegburg suffered severely during the
seventeenth century wars, and the pot
ters, despairing of carrying on their in
dustry in peaceful security, emigrated
to other lands, All attempts to induce
them to return were unsuccessful; but
some fifty years ago an enterprising pot
ter undertook to revive the business.
With the aid of old molds, gathered
from different directions, and following
closely the old traditions, he began the
production of ware of the old type.
These pieces found ready sale, being

Mrs. Carrie Steele, of Georgia, has
founded a Colored orphan asylum,
where destitute children may be cared
for and taught trades. A cottage and
stable have been built, a larger building
is going up, and four acres of land be-
longing to the asylum are under full cul-
tivation. All the funds thus far have
been raised by Mrs. Steele's personal
exertions. She now appeals for State
aid, and will probably receive it, the At
lanta papers speaking in high terms of
this effort by Colored woman to- care
for and train "the hundreds of Colored
orphans VINO are growing up as material
or the chain-gang."

ter of antiquity-is largely practice6
here though many of the objects are
pressed from plaster molds. Women
are employed to attach the handles and
spouts and to finish the ware after it has
left the thrower. Upon the women too
devolves the delicate work of scratching
in the clay such patterns of flowers and
arabesques as form rough decoration
on the surface. Models or patterns are
rarely used. The women trace their
design with great freedom of hand.
These devices in scratching" are sub
sequently relieved by broad touches of
color, the cobalt used being mixed with
water and clay, with further admix-
ture OF salt to make the pigment rur
fuidly under the brush.
The apprentices serve term of from
\ three to four years, and the work people
are paid upon a system of piece work
called "Tagenwerken," under which a
given number of differing articles are
Slopted as the unit for calculating the
work per day. For example, a man is
understood to make in one day two hun
dred and forty mineral water bottles or
one hundred and sixty mugs Of one liter
size .s'- - -. 's.''
The process of firing differs material
~ from that commonly pursued in the
ordinary manufacture of pottery. There
the oven is vertical, inclosed within a
bottle-shaped ''hovel," which protects
it and the fires from the external wealth
er. At Hohr-Grenzhausen the oven is
OF long horizontal form, with apert-
ures at intervals along each side of the
arched roof, covered with earthenware
slabs which are removable at particular
stages of the firing. This is for the
purpose OF throwing in the salt, the
fusing OF which at the proper heat gives
to the ware it's glazed surface.

Under the heading "A Southern Elec-
ton Law" the Globe Democrat has an
editorial intended to show that the recent
State election IN South Carolina was
''fairly and justly conducted" "but that
the Colored man though having" every
assurance of protection, did not vote.
Hence, the CD. argues that the "Ne-
groes" are indifferent to the duties and
interests of citizenship" do not care
much for the franchise, and certainly are
not asking for any Federal election law;
and, finally that there is no need for
any such legislation at all. Just at what
time and place and by whom it was con-
coded that the election twas fairly and
justly conducted" the CD. does not
state. It is not true that such was the
case; the campaign was SO VIGOROUSLY
the reverse, as to shock the country and
to lead many to actually suspect that
Tllman was mailman, or fool. His
open threats of bloodshed were novelty
even in the South, and they were backed
by direct agency, whose strength and
resources no one could estimate, because
it was new thing. Its very slogan was
the cry of "Negro domination must be
put down by bloodshed." To this gang
OF avowed cut-throats was opposed
'straight-out Democratic" ticket, which
sought the aid of the Colored voters to
enable them to retain the offices, and
which like the Tillman faction had no
Colored men on their ticket. Now what
were the Colored voters to gain by vot-
ing for either ticket? They, very SEN
sibly and intelligently, concluded that it
did not make grain of difference to
them which gang Of ruffians gained~the
victory. On one side was "ole massa,"
on the other the ''poor white trash'' and
the Colored man didn't care a cuss which
whipped. His simple and comprehen-
sive philosophy was: cts a Demo-
cratic fight, let them fight it out" The
Colored man builded wiser than he
knew. A single term of Office will 80
disgust South Carolina with Tillman and
his Kuklux that she will long for the
days Of reconstruction and the Colored
man will vote when he has anything to
vote for. He has heard the old saving
"Of two evils choose the lesser;" but for
mercy's sake, which was the lesser, Till
man or Haskell? He likes to be on the
Lords side, but, in the South Carolina
election, which was the Lords side?
But why does not the CD. turn it's bat
teries on the 10000 non-voters of New
York, the white men who allowed
Tammany to elect Grant, and the other
white men who cost the Democracy to
carry nearly all they were worth? Are
they not a little indifferent to the duties
and interest of citizenship" And why
does it ignore the fact that the Colored
Alliance strongly endorsed the Federal
Election Bill? And why does it allow it's
news columns to disproye it's editorial by
mentioning how rapidly the Colored men
of Mississippi are paying their poll-tax in
order to have the right to vote? Such
atrocious falsehoods ss the editorial con
tains are simply idiotlc.

Ear Trumpets as Cupid's Arrows.

With the marriage at Steelville, Mo-,
of William ]. d. Kelly to Miss Anna Nc
Donald, of OakviIle, Canada, is con-
nected quite romance. The groom is a
well known young man, living on farm
with his widowed mother, well-to-do,
though deaf and dumb. A year or two
ago he noticed in the papers a recon-
mendation of some kind of ear trumpet
by the above named young lady who is
also deaf mute. A correspondence en-
sued, the tender chords of sympathy and
emotion were aroused and an engagement
followed. The heroic young bride left
her far off Canadian home to meet her
distant affianced. For six days and alone
she travelled, but came safely through.
This was three weeks before the mar
riage, and the intervening time was
spent in forming each others acquain-
tance at the groom's home, with the re-
suit that the nuptials were celebrated
amidst the congratulations of host of
friends.-lSt. Louis Republic.
