THE UNTIRING HEART.
Let IL BE Kept Pure. and the soul VIII
BE Filled With Joy and Peace.

Rev. W. A. Major began an interesting
series OF sermons last night at the Second
Presbyterian church, on The Heart, the
Ear. the Eye. the Tongue, the Hands, the
Feet" His special subject last night was
The Heart" and among other things he
said:
Think OF the matches and untiring
work. as well as OF the construction OF the
human heart This natural heart never
ceases 10 do its work. and Z healthful never
misses beat. The body sleeps, the tongue
is silent. the brain quiet, the eye closed.
and the ear deaf 10 the loudest sounds, the
hands i!feless-ali the body but the heart
has ceased to act. II runs on. sending the
issues Of life through all the avenues. Con-

a day hundreds OF pounds of blood. il Is
matchless in its endurance. Out OF this or
gan are the issues OF life Stop the flow Of

CHEAP WARES FROM JAPAN.
Great Quantities OF snowy Pottery Pro-
duced for the American Market.

New York sun.
An aIctioneer sat II a great groGni-fioor
room surrounded by Caring pieces Of ia
panese pottery. great and small while pla-
cards outside advertised the hour of the
sale and the excellence OF the wares. II
was long past the time 10 begin, and oaly
half dozen men and boys, apparently
hired for the occasion. sat on the benches
reserved for bidders. A. the arrival OF each
newcomer the auetioneer announced tha:
the sale would soon begin.
A stranger who came in and joIIled the
saetioneer about the glsring quality OF the
goods, presently spied an aequainta who
Is an expert in pottery.
You are right about these things" said
the expert In tone intended not 10 dam
age the business OF the auctioneer. what
you see here Is Japanese work specially
made for the American market, and mostly
trash. II goes all over this country. and.
being snowy. sells against cheap undscor-
aztec ware of home or of European manu-
facturt. We at home can make medium
goods or most kinds In competition with
the world, al least SO far as the home mar
ket is concerned. but IN many lines we can
make neither the best nor the cheapest.
Twenty-Five years ago 30 such flmsy
things as these were produced in Japan.
When the social revolution overlook Japan
great quantities OF fine pottery and other
works Of native art came into the market
ana reached Europe and America Some
OF this was exquisite IN quality. for the
feudai families were often liberal patrons
Of art. and several artists would devote
their time for years TO the creation OF
beautiful objects for their patrons.
1T was not unusual for years after the
social revolution for experts in this coun-
try 70 be able 10 pick M beautiful Japanese
pottery a. auction When, however. the
japanese discovered the popularity OF their
goods here they began 10 manufacture
cheap things by wholesale for this market.
They initiate crudely the old-fashioned ar
tistic pottery Of their own country, they
initiate even European models, and.
strangest Of ALL French pottery is sent to
Japan in the white TO be decorated, because
China painting OF fairly good quality Is
cheaper in Japan than IN France. So now
one rarely finds treasures among
the aucticned Japanese wares, and
the cheap Japanese china is used
the country over. Here and there
you may pick UP a good bit or color
IN frank imitation OF old ware, but well
worth having at a moderate price. These
auctions are common about the holiday
times. when persons with little taste or
technical knowledge are looking about for
Christmas presents. AS likely as not, this
stock now offered at auction came from one
OF the wholesale houses hard by"
