CHINA HUNTING IN NEW eNeLANl


what One Devotee Of Rare Porcelain
Learned Seeking In Country Homes.
Were the possession of old or valua-
BILE specimens Of porcelain and pottery
the only good thing which came from
the long days of country ranging and
farmhouse searching spent In china
quests. Philistines might perhaps scof
at the waste of time and energy, but
much else that is good have found.
Insight into human nature, love of my
native country knowledge of her nat
ural beauties, acquaintance with heT
old landmarks and historical localities,
familiarity with her history, admiration
Of her noble military and naval heroes,
and study of the ancient manners, GUS
toms and traditions Of her early inhab-
itants, have all been fostered, strength
ened and indeed almost brought into
existence by the search after and study
of old china
How vague were my scloolday his
tory lesson memories of Perry, of Law
renee and of Decatur, until saw their
likenesses on some hideous Liverpool
pitchers in an old sailors hut. Then
read eagerly every word of history,
every old song and ballad about them.
How small was my knowledge of old
table manners and table furnishings
until / discovered, through my china
studies, how our ancestors ate and
served their daily meals.
How entirely powerless was | to dis
cover the story of human nature as
told in the countenance until my in
quiries In country towns after old china
made me second Lavater in reading |
the possibilities of successful purchase
In case the questioned one CHANGED to
own any old porcelain heirlooms. How |
few of our noble wood and valley roads
had / seen until drove through them
searching for old farmhouses that
might contain some salvage Of teacups
or teapots
And not only do we learn of Amer !
lea through our china hunts, but Of
England as well, for nearly all OF our
old tableware was English, and the
of the production of English
china can be traced as easily in New
England rs in old England. Few of
the more costly pieces came across the
ocean to us, but humber specimens
perhaps show equally well the general
of the manufacture. Alice
Morse Earle in Scribner's.

A Hindoo poem endmerates 500 pur-
poses to which the Palmyra palm alone
is put Among other things it supplies
paper for writing upon, an Intoxicating
drink called "toddy," large quantities
of sugar fruit and vegetable for the
table when the plants are young.
Palm wine is also obtained from the
juice of the sago palm, which yields
excellent sugar candy when boiled.
The pith of the trunk forms a large
part of the food of the natives in many
parts of India Ropes, brushes and
brooms are manufactured from the
fiber of the leaf stalks. Interview in

"Silver thaw" is name applied to
winter phenomenon of frequent oecur-
renee at Ben Nevis observatory. It
consists of rain falling when the air Is
below freeEing point and congealing
whenever II reaches the ground. OF
course this points TO an inversion of the
temperature, which is lower on the
mountain top than at greater heights
and, being largely associated with a
eyelonic distribution of pressure, it is
Of considerable "torecasting" value. -

HOW TO DELAY BADNESS.
A Prominent Physician Gives Son
Rules That VIII Preserve the Hair.

Prominent Physician Gives Some
Rules That viii Preserve the Hair
A far more common cause of the
plentiful lack" of hair now so preva-
lent is bowel apd nervous disorders.
Dyspepsia and weak and falling hair
60 hand In hand; and who will say
that we are not a dyspeptic nationf :
Now, dyspepsia is due to our modern
mode of living; ergo, one Of the great
primal causes of premature badness is
civilization. Indeed. we can have no
doubt on this point when we remem-
Der that civilization has also intro
duced the chimney pot, " probably to
aid and abet.
Very many of the "bleak and barren
brows" we see around us are also due
to dyspepsia The moral therefore is;
Look after your general health. AT
the same time, loss of hair is not al
ways caused by loss Of health. 1t
frequently proceeds from purely locaa
causes, and, as these causes can be
guarded against, perhaps you will al
low me to tell what to do and what not
to do in order, under ordinary circum-
stances, ito keep their hair on"
Avoid tight fitting hats and collars,
also close fitting wraps, unless these be
Of some porous material. The two
former prevent a due supply of blood
to the parts, hence the hair papille are
put, as it were, on short commons
all the time the hats and collars are
worn. The caps engender caloric,
which sets up irritation, and ultimate

druff, namely, pityriasis ii. e., branny
powder). Note that all headgear which
is not porous should be ventilated at
top and sides. to allow a free current
of air.
Never sit or stand with the top of the
head near a gaslight or lalnplight.
The heat thrown out is apt to paralyze
the scalp tissues and dries up the hair
itself
Don't wash the head oftener than
once a fortnight, when first rub in the
yolk of an egg and thoroughly rinse
out with warm water, into which has
been thrown a pinch of borax. Dry
carefully and apply little pure olive
oil.
Beware of that common practice, |
dipping the comb in water when ar
ranging the hair. 1t promotes decom-
position and rancidity of the natural
oil, and so leads to ''rotting"
If the hair be naturally dry apply
little olive oil occasionally. If natural

cess of sebaceous secretion by means of
a lather of tepid water and soap bark.
Salt water is most injurious to the
hair, for which reason when sea bath

Always treat the scalp as if you

1ictum that Every touch affecting so
delicate texture as the scalp should be
'oft and soothing; every application
bland and mild" Don't use stiff bris-
led or wire brushes, and in all cases
brush gently. Also, always brush out
the hair before attempting to comb it,
and use the comb as little as possible.
Have the ends of the hair clipped
once month, if only to prevent them
from splitting; but don't close crop.

I look upon her, ycarnirg,

tralian ballot system originated, never was
penal colony, and it has been nearly half
century since any part Of the country was
used for any such purpose. The discov-
cry of gold peopled the island with Eng

Piled California with Americans. After the
Chronicle has satisfied itself of the truth of
these statements. which it may by consult
ing any work on Australia. we hope it will
read over the paragraph in which this nation

"c0lony of criminals" and see If it is not

prejudice against theiAustralian system by

What Representative Thayer's motive was
In introducing the envelope scheme as a SUBJ
stitute for the Clason Australian bill we do
not undertake to say, He belongs to a party
which has been processing great enthusiasm
for the Australian system, but then Demo-
cratic profession and Democratic perform
ance are often very different. But whatever
the motive the effect Of his measure will be to
give the people the shadow of a secret ballot
without its substance. The "heeler'' can see
what ballot the voter takes and In the great
majority of cases he will be safe in assuming
that this ballot will be put in the envelope.
This movement Of Mr.. Thayer's is the most
dangerous one the Ciason bill has to contend
because 1t cen be argued with some plausi-
bp....y 20 those who do not give close atten-
tiun to the matter that this plan will ensure
secret ballot at less cost and with less ma
chiuery than the Clason bill. Thus a good
many sincere friends of the secret
ballot may be caught by it
while the "boss" and the 'heeler" see-
ing the hole in it may be trusted to support
1t enthusiastically, The friends Of the Aus
tralian system should beware of this plan.
1t Is a sham.
