In the days when what is called "old
Delft pottery" was fabrira ted three kinds
If clay were necessary. That of Tourney,
found on the banks OF the Scheidt. was very
fine, very light cream color and, when dry,
extremely hard. The second clay was
fnund on the banks of the River Rhur. in
Westphalia. This was not so fine as the
first mentioned, was much softer. and its
color was grayish yellow. The third was

These clays were mixed in the proportion

The mixture was made at Schiedam and
carried to Delft The clay used in the
manufacture of old Delft was thus of a
yellowish brown color, while that used
to-day is the ordinary white clay usually
found in England.
The work begins with the turner or. as
called in the factory, kunstwerker art
worker. 1t is he who evolves from a
handful of CLAY a plate. cup or other
object, and if he makes large pieces be is
called gr0ot-drarier, If vases rond-draaier,

some objects have form impossible to be
fabricated by the turner. and these are the
work OF molder. When the objects are
fashioned by the turner's and molders they
are carried 10 the drying-room, where they
take on light yellow color.
Then they are placed in the oven for the

Many of the older structures now and

course of his operations which were very
extensive for that period, Rathbone fell in
need of money. He was pushing, ener-
getic man. and the leading citizens of Buff
falo didn't want To see him go TO the wall.
Ten or dozen of them agreed to 20 on
note together for him. The amount was
TO be $4,000. or something like that.
Rathbone claimed that amount would
carry him over. and the citizens thought
they would risk that much as a matter
of public spirit. Instead of contentjng
himself with a single note. RathbOne Sc
cretly prepared about ten. He went TO
the indorsers singly and got each one to
sign a different note, on the superstition
that it was The only one. This gave him
one genuine signature on each Of the ten
notes, each bearing all of the ten or
twelve names. He raised by the notes
about 100000 instead of one-tenth of
that sum, and then the discovery came.
The forgery was so well done that some
of the signeIs couldn't tell which was
the genuine signature. They could testify
that they only signed their name once and
that was all. The testimony was very uu-
satisfactory and confusing, but Rathbone

The natives of oriental countries are
proverbially kind to the brute creation :;
beggars even can often be seen sharing
their scanty meals with any strange ami
mails that may happen to pass them while
eating.
The religion of both Buddhists and
Brahminists especially enjoins this care
for the good treatment of all dumb ami
mails; but one very peculiar religious
sect. called the jams, cherish this kindly
regard for all animal life more than any
other sect of India. Not content with
never harming any dumb creature. they
