THE COFFEE CUP.
Something OF the History Of This Com
mon Utensil.


Historically speaking the cup-in the
sense of tea or coffee cup-is .he young
est member of the European ceramic
family, and its form cannot be traced
back to classic antiquity, says Home
and Country. A well-known writer
refers To the ancient Greek kyathos as
the probable ancestor of our present
cup.
Although the kyathos had a single
handle it was used as a pitcher and
not to drink directly from. Even after
the introduction of tea into Europe
had become general-that is, during
the latter half of the seventeenth cen
tury-tea cups were scarce. Almost
simultaneously coffee gained a foot
hold in Europe, having probably been
introduced from Abyssinia, Asia Minor
and Arabia. Still, apart from Con-
stantinople, the first coffee cups in
Europe date only as far back as 1645
in Venice, 1889 IN Paris, 1852 in London
and 1894 in Leipsic. From the very
first, however, the conventional ORR
entail coffee cup, without stand or
handle, was but little used, and in
Germany not at all. On the other
hand, the Chinese tea cup was used not
only for coffee and tea, but for choco-
late as well.
Undoubtedly specimens of porcelain
were introduced into Europe during
the middle ages. Yet these were not
imported in very great quantity from
China until after 1918. Even then
they came first as articles of vertu,
and it was not until later that they
were used to drink from. The most
prominent of these were cups. Many
of the specimens, however, found their
way back to the middle kingdom again.
The penchant for collecting old
porcelain is far more universal in China
than with us, and a better price is paid
for il.
The collection of Chinese porcelains,
if it is intended to be only of the gen.
uine kind requires an immense amount
of study and experience, for the Chi
nese are admirable imitators, and there
are falsifcations innumerable in the
market.

EDiSON'S ADVENTURE.

How the Great Inventor Saved the Life
of q Child.
The authors Of 1.-THE Life and Inven-
tions of Edison" tell good story of the
manner in which their hero once saved
the life of child at the risk of his own.
He was then the newsboy of train
running between Port Huron and De-
troit. The station agent at Mount
Clemens had boy a year and a-half
old, with whom Edison-"Al." as he
was called-was fond of playing during
the half hour or Eiore that the train
stopped at that station.
On summer forenoon, while the train
was being taken apart and made up
anew, a car was uncoupled and sent
down the track with no brakeman to
control it. Edison, who had been look
ing at the fowls in the poultry yard,
turned just in time to see little Jimmie
on the main track, throwing pebbles
over his head, utterly unconscious of
danger
al dropped his papers upon the plat
form, seized the child in his arms, and
threw himself off the track, face down
ward, in sharp, fresh gravel ballast,
without a second to spare. AS it was,
the wheel of the car struck the heel of
his boot.
Il was in the ticket office" says the
child's father, land, hearing a shrek,
ran out in time to see the train hands
bringing the two boys to the plat
form"
Having no other way of showing his
gratitude, the agent said:
"Al, if you will stop off here four
days in the week, and keep Jimmie out
of harms way until the mixed train re-
turns from Detroit, l will teach you
telegraphing."
"Will you?" said Edison.
II will"
He extended his hand and said: "It's
a bargain" and SO Edison became a
telegrapher.

USE OF FACE PAINTS.
Harmless Anttdotes Against Facial Evi.
dence OF Fatigue.

dence OF Fatigue.
AS severe as the verdict is against the
use of concoctions that give artificial
coloring to the face it remains fact,
says an exchange, that tired women
do resort to few harmless anti
dotes against the facial evidences
of fatigue. Touching up the lips faint
ly with rosaline is one method indulged
in. This ointment does not color them
materially but it softens, lending a
richness and fexibility that contact
with the wind has driven away. It's
use also prevents chapping, if one is
going again into the air.
Some women saturate the lips with
cologne to bring the blood, but the
trick is unadvisable. Alcohol scorches
the tender skin.
Color in the cheeks is provided for by
the hot water, but the eye is an aggra-
waiting feature when tired. Its dullness
throws damper" on the face, no mat
ter how cleverly the latter has been re-
vived. Rubbing the eyelids in a bath
of cologne and water sometimes bright
ems them, but the South American
women squeeze orange juice into the
eve TO obtain brilliancy of their orbs.
If the undiluted juice stings too severe.
ly IL can be weakened, and still a good
result is promised.

gorical female figure, presumably in
tended for the Angel of Death. 1t is
said that an aged couple from the rural

tablet, the old lady remarked to her
'husband: That's a good likeness OF
