Empires, Frederick Le.xs. Paris.

It had been feared that when the
Empress Frederick loft Paris there would
DO demonstration made against her, but
such was not tho case whom she departed
on tho eth. Tho gravity of the situation,
however, can DO Judged from the fact that
acting under advice from high quarters,
tho empress changed tho line Of her route
from fear Of being insulted by portion Of
tho populace, which had gradually worked
itself into fever Of heat and rage over
tho presence Of the imperial visitor In
Paris. 1t was publicly announced that
the Empress Frederick intended to leave
Paris for Calais ut Ii $50 q. m, but upon
tho suggestions referred to she left the
German embassy two hours earlier, and
entering carriage was driven rapidly to
the Care du Nord, where she entered tho
train which left the depot for Boulogno.
The empress, however, did not embark
for England at that port but proceeded
from there to Calais, where royal yacht
awaited hor arrival. In spite Of the pro-
cautions taken to avoid IN unpleasant
demonstration by keeping the exact
hour Of tho empress departure o
secret several hundred people gathered
abo ut tho Care Du Nord andwatched the
movements Of the empress with consider
ablo interest. The crowd, contrary TO
general expectation, was civil and quiet,

no insulting cries Of any description, The

into two lines, thus enabling the empress
carriage to drive up to the station without
having any portion Of the crowd near

A reception in honor Of Empress Fred

half Of number of French artists Nj.
Gervex expressed regret that they were
not able TO send specimens Of their art
work to the Berlin exposition, and stated
that the reason for their abstaining from
so doing was that they could not place
themselves at variance with their col
leagues.
The empress listened attentively to the
explanation given and, in reply, said, In
substance, that she appreciated the Justice
Of the French artists motives and no.

will, though she regretted tho artists Of
France were not represented at Berlin.

THE time has come for reforming
our educational work in the direction
Of simplicity. 1t is as much to be de-
sired for the good OF the pupil as 1t is
for the relief OF the public treasury.
There are few things which, though
valuable in themselves to those who
wnnt them and are willing to pay for
them, could be better spared from our
system OF public school education than
the instruction now given in foreign
language.

LIKE EARTHQUAKE
Rome Shaken TO Its Foundations BY
GunpOwder Explosion.
THE FAMOUS VATICAN DAMAGED.
Many Buildings Completely Demolished
With Loss Of Life.
FRANTIC PEOPLE PRAY IN TIE STREET

ROME, April 23.-This city was shaken to
ITS foundations about o'clock this morn
Ing by terrific explosion.
The people rushed from their homes into
1he streets, houses rocked, pictures fell from
the walls, thousands of psnes of glass were
broken, crockery was shattered, furniture
overturned, chimneys crashed down on the
ikoofs, and in some instances toppled over
into the streets. The cupols of the House
bf Parliament Immediately after the explo-
sion, shook violently and then
collapsed with a crash, which added still
further to the feeling of horror.
All the thoroughfares were strewn with
bricks, stones, timbers and other debris
hurled there by the force of the powerful
conclusion. In the houses doors, windows
and cupboards were burst open. Rents and
cracks appeared in the walls, plaster fell
from the ceilings and general desolation
prevailed.
Mistaken for an Earthquake.
The general opinion that prevailed was
that Rome had been visited by an earth
quake shock, and that second shock might
reduce the city to ruins. MANY fell upon
their knees and prayed aloud. Finally it
was discovered that the immense powder
magazine at Pozze Pantaleo, tour kilometers
from here, haG exploded, and that it had
caused enormous damage to the neighboring
fort, which was filed with soldiers. The
reports of the affair which have reached here
add that, happily. the officer in command of
the fort heard a rumbling sound previous to
The final explosion, and, hastily ordering the
soldiers to leave the fort, he succeeded in
Rverting a terrible disaster. As it was, five
peasants, who were in the vicinity of the scene
of the explosion, were killed outright and
number of others were more or less injured.
King Humbert and his military staff accom-
panied by the Marquis III Rudini and all the
members of the Italian Cabinet have left the
city for the scene of the disaster.
Many Buildings Damaged and Demolished.
All the houses within a radius Of kilometer
of the scene of the explosion are seriously
damaged. Two officers we're dangerously in
3ured and fully 100 civilians have been taken
TO the different hospitals, suffering from in
juries caused by the explosion. King Hum
bert who was heartily cheered whenever his
presence became known to the popuIace and
soldiery, gave his own carriage to convey
wounded people to the hospital.
The shock did not spare the atican. That
Venerated pile shook with the rest of the build
ings when the force of the explosion was felt
and several of the famous historical stained
glass windows Of the old buildings were shat
Tered. The windows of the ancient Raphael
chambers. and the stained glass in the royal
staircase, presented to Pope Plus TX. by the
King of Bavaria were also seriously injured
The full amount of damage is not known.
Forty small houses have been reduced to heaps
Of ruins by the shock. The magazine con-
tained go tons Of powder. The cause of the e1-
plOSIon Is unknown.

PUTTING ON A FINISHING TOUCH.

away pre-Wedgwood days. There
is the same absence of architectural de-
sign, the same look Of haphazardness,
the familiar maze without the smallest
suggestion of plan. All the world
over, indeed, there is family likeness
between the workshops, wherein the
potter's simple craft was pursued until
the very modern edifices of the great
houses of to-day came to be con-
structed. 1t is not i'm possible that
under the influences thus fore
Swallowed the handicraft may disap-
pear, and with it the imagery that is as
true to-day as it was thousands of years
ago, OF clay in the potter's hands, and of
the power which he possessed, of his SIM
pie volition, of the same lump, to make
one vessel unto honor and another unto
dishonor.
1t is, however, noticeable that the
ancient art of the "thrower'-the pot.
ter of antiquity-is largely practiced
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 run
fluidly under the brush.
The apprentices serve term of from
three to four years, and the work people
are paid upon system of piece work
called "Tagenwerken," under which
given number of differing articles are
adopted 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.
The process of firing differs material
ly from that commonly pursued in the
ordinary manufacture of pottery. There
the oven is vertical, inclosed within
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 its glazed surface.

In the earlier days Of which we have

In the earlier days Of which we have
spoken the stonewear Of the Kannen-
bacherland had no special character Of
its own sufficient to make it easily dis
tinguishable from the productions Of
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 gl0ies 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
nected by steams and branches incised
in the clay. Often enough medallion
portrait or heraldic panel occupies the
center of the piece, but such always has
the appearance Of being mere access
sorry rather than an essential detail in
the general and harmonious design.
The effect thus obtained was heightened
by the employment of bright colored
enamels, in Difference to the rather
gaudy taste of the age; harmonious
blendings Of puppies and blues are the
principal characteristics of the ware.
The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of to-day COM
prises nine busy villages, of which the
two most populous, Hohr and Grenz-
hansen, give a common title to the
whole district. Hohr has between two
and three thousand population, and
signs of the craft obtrude on every hand.
The process of manufacture is often car
ried on under the public gaze. There
are about fifty ovens in which ware is
fixed, and these belong to fully as many
master employers. AtGrenzhausen chem
ical utensils and drain pipes are among
the special goods manufactured. Grenz-
ausen's greatest fame, however, rests
on the making of certain Jug and mug
that are the joy of every beer-drinker in
Germany. In general appearance the
town is much like Hohr, as are also
Brounbach, Rousbach, Hilgert, Mayen-
dorf, Wirges, Hillscheid and Arzbach.
The last place chiefly produces mineral
water bottles, of which millions are dis
posed of annually. At the Staffordshire
potteries, where the Wedgwood ware is
produced, the whole or nearly all the
material is brought from distance, the
clay and marls found at hand century
and over ago having been exhausted.
In the Hohr-Grenzhausen country, to
the contrary, raw material is contiguous
and abundant. In general appearance
the factories or Hohr-Grenzhansen sug-
gest a comparison with the small pot
teries that might have been
built in Staffordshire in the far
