Curious Pottery.

The Peruvians certainly show great
ingenuity In the manufacture of pot
terry. A favorlte form Of vessel has q
iong, slender neck and rather stout,
chunky body. The vessels for the most
Fart are made to represent living crea-
lures, and have openings for the eyes,
rlostrils and mouth. When these ves-
fels are filled with any liquid, the air
rushes from these openings with char
acteristic sounds. A vase representing
d mountain cat gives forth sounds like
The new Of the living creature. 4
bird design sings or whistles; dish
with coiled serpents Kisses. Other fis-
ures squeak or screech, according TO
the animals they represent. An anus
ing object Is the figure Of 8 very old
woman. When water was turned into
this lar there were sounds of sobbins
and grief, and tears trickled from the
eyes and rolled down the cheeks. y
peculiar design was vessel shaped
like a double headed bird. This jaf
must be filed from the bottom, and
yet not drop would flow out when 1t
was turned over, although IL 1t were
slightly inclined the water ran out
readily. These people appear to have
reduced atmospheric pressure to
science. Their knowledge Of this Is
only equaAed by their ability in por-
trasture. Some of the faces are won
derfuNy lifellke and expressive, anu
show a very keen sense of form and
an excellent understanding of facial
expression.

A Curious Wooden Watch.

The most curious timekeeper, per-
haps, that has ever been made IN this
country was the work of one Victor
Doriot, who lived ct Bristol, Tenn,
about twenty years ago. This oddity
was nothing more or less than wooden
watch. The case was made of brier
root. and the inside works, all except
three of the main wheels and the
springs (which are of metal) were
made from a piece of an old boxwood
rule. The face, which was polished
until it looked like slab OF finest
ivory, was made from the shoulder
blade of an old COW that had been
killed by the cars. '.Doriot's queer
w.tch," as it was called, was an open
faced affair, with glass crystal, q nd
was pronounced a fine piece OF work
by all the watchmakers in East Tenn

toilettes and is to use ones richest
ieweled pins to fasten the collars be-
hind. to hold them down firmly, or to
pretend to, in order to give excuse for
wearing the precions stones where
they can be seen, for if used in the
usual way, only the two persons who
sit next to you can view them, all the
others having their backs to you.
Speaking of trimming on the back OF
the collar reminds me of something /
once read that "The reason the bows
on the backs of the women's necks
Are as large as they can be,
'And I'll tell you why said u maiden fair,
As she giGgled sweet tie he
'We like to feel, rs we walk, dye mind,
That big beau's following close behind"
Another smart gown that did service
as q matinee suit was made of Yale
blue faced cloth in Norfolk jacket
style. The exquisitely fitting bodice
was fastened with unique buttons and
the wearer's waist was encireled with
belt OF Russian enamel set with @
wealth of amethysts and pearls.
A becoming jacket that won many
compliments from the friends of its
fair wearer was made of rich green
broadcloth lined throughout with a
pink brocaded silk and trimmed with
en edging of braid and large military
ornaments down the front and on the
collar.
This little coat was exquisite in cut
and fit and was worn by young soci-
ETY. bud, who, I understand. is soon
to be welded to an English nobleman.
1t was easily to be seen that our fair
young miss was we'll satisfied with the
world in general and with herself in
particular; and why shouldn't she be
when she was the prospective mistress
of one of Old England's stateliest cas-.
ties and the wife to be of the scion Of
family which traces its ancestry
back very nearly, if not quite to Will
lam the Conqueror.

Ancient Geographical Data.

The first geographical data, says the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is found in
the Pentatcuch. Homer describes
the shield of Achilles as representing
the earth surrounded by the sea, with
Greece and Troy in the centre. The
priests OF Apollo, at Delphi, taught
that their temple was the exact geo.
graphical centre of the earth. About
Sos b. g. Anazimander made maps of
Greece and the surrounding territory
and seas. Map.making, and descrip-
lions of countries were improved by
Strabo and Ptolemy. The Moors about
1910 made maps OF Spain aud Africa.

An Operators Device.

Telegraph operators in crowded
room often have trouble in hearing
their instruments, especially if tick
er adds ito the confusion.
TO get the instrument nearer his ear,
an inventive telegraph operator set an
empty cigar box on standard little
over foot high, in which he placed his
instrument. The connecting wires were
joined to the instrument through TWO
small holes in the side Of the box.
The result Of this device was salts
factory, as the instrument was brought
near the ear of the operator, and also
acted as Il sounding board.-New York

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
Some Golden Rules for People Handling
Firearms.


Firearms.
Genial "Cap" Conlin, the instructor
Mt the Knickerbocker Clubs shooting
gallery, is prepared to demonstrate that
four+ffths of all the accidents from
guns, ,revolvers, etc., are due to careless
ness, says the New York Journal. He
has drawn up "Conlin's Forty Golden
Rules for Those Who Handle Fire
arms" Here are a few Of the most
timely admonitions:
Don't point gun or pistol at any
body unless you mean to kill.
Don't look down the muzzle of o
weapon. It's dangerous practice.
Don't imagine that the gun is not
loaded. That is the kind that general
ly goes off when you don't want it to-
Don't discourage your boy if he wants
to go off for days shooting. Manly
boys like such sport. Go with him and
give him all the points" you can.
Don't blow down the muzz.e of your
loaded pistol. 1t might be cooked ..nd
you'll regret 1t.
Don't overload your gun; you may
damage it and yourself as we'll.
Don't touch the trigger until you are
ready to shoot.
Don't pull gun over fence, out of a
boat or off a wagon with the muzzle
toward you.
Don't carry your gun so that the muz-
z,e points in the direction of anyone.
There are always chances for the acci-
dental discharge Of your weapon.
Don't get within range of an mex
perienced person when he is handling
a loaded weapon.
Don't say II didn't know 1t was
loaded' after you have hit some Que;
examine the gun first.
Don't walk around the range with a
loaded gun on pistol. There are no
wild animals prowling about, and, be-
sides, It's dangerous.
Don't blame the gun or ammunition
when you shoot badly. The chances nrc
that the fault is with yourself.
Don't think an old gun won't so Off
rs easily as new one.
Don't forget that caution IL the
parent Of safety.
Don't believe all You hear about
shooting records-seelng is believing.
