Instructive Items For the Hunter of Old

the one who approaches the subject with
utmost delicacy, fares much alike, al
though the commercial collector usual

Dishes bearing Lafayette designs are
much sought by collectors and students
of history, the print known as the s'La-
fayette landing" design being the most
valuable In the foreground there are
guards mounted upon galloping horses,
while the middle distance consists Of

the high lights of this china picture are

smoke from the cannon in front. At the
base, in dark blue letters are the

Glowing blue is, next to willow
ware, - the most commonly found of all
old china. 1t has no especial value ex-
cept for it's rich dark coloring, although
every collector likes to have at least one

printed in the center and Davenport"
just under it, and each piece bears the
anchor MARKHAM anchor with ''Daven-
port" in half circle above it. This
mark is impressed in the china. A few
years later a fair imitation Of this china
was made. The coloring, however, is
not nearly as good, and the design OF
the Chinese garden scene with the man
darins and umbrella is blurred.
Light blue 'Longport" ware is fine
and attractive in shape. The washbowl
and pitcher of this ware are especially
refined-a thin, light stone china of
graceful form. Parts of dinner sets are
now and then found, although they are
apt to be discolored.
A dinner set of Davenport ware, 2
sprigged china tea set and full set of
''Longport'' ware formed the outfit of
bride of 70 years ago. There were also
water and cream pitchers of copper
1uster.
Among the cupboard treasures cider
mug and tray of brown pottery are now

quart and was set upon the Goals to
heat. When it was piping hot and
sprinkled with red pepper, it was placed
upon the tray, which served not only to
keep great-grandfather's knees from
burning, but held the overflow of cider.

AS a rule farmers economic enough

AS rule farmers economic enough
but not always in the right direction.
There is no true economy in doing
anything that can be hired done
cheaper; neither is there any reason
why some things should be hired done
that the farmer can do equally as well
himself and perhaps save trip to
town. One of the most convenient
ways of doing this is to have supply of
carpenter and blacksmith tools and
a room set apart for their use. 1t will
prove one of the most interesting
features of farm work as well as an
economical feature. A writer in RAJ
ral World says:
''Think Of the many trips to town
some farmers annually make to have
horses shod Or some break about
machine repaired; and these repairs
generally have to be made during the
busy time of haying or harvesting. If
the wagon or mower tongue breaks,
braces, bits, bolts, etc., should be at
hand upon the farm and fifteen min
utes of labor repairs them fully as
we'll as the town workman. Surely
this is true economy; and it counts up
amazingly in the course of season.

THE WAY TO TEACH.

Any method which is productive of
lasting and beneficial results is
good method. Reasoning, says
Locke, is the faculty of deducing un-
known truths from principles already
familiar
The principal difficulty with teach
ers today is the same that Horace
Mann pointed out years ago. We do
too much telling and too little teach
ing. Professor Dewey says of pres
ent day methods. They succeed in
crushing out all spontaneous interest
in the subject itself even if they do
not all but destroy a capacity for it.
1t is this spontaneous interest that
must be awakened and kept alive.
Such a teacher never uses a text
book during recitation, is ready and
apt in his illustrations, pleasing in
manner of presentation, able to pre-
sent the same thing in different ways,
never resorts to sarcasm as a means
of correction or to cover up his own
lack OF information, gets his class
where the members are not afraid to
try, sits little during recitation, poss-
IDLY not at all, censures sparingly,
praises much. But this kind of
teaching takes time for careful prep
aration, and much hard work is re-
qnired.

A Modern Idea In Furniture.

Daintily built secretaries not meant
to be placed against the wall like an or
binary desk, but rather to stand out in
the room, are among the modern ideas
in furniture. A writer in The Puritan
tells that these escritoires are made for
the most part of mahogany, set upon
light but sturdy legs. The back is fitted
with little cabinets for bric-a- brac, pam
eled in plush, with pockets in which to
put photographs, or treated in some
equally effective manner.

country to the United States.
The proposed increase in duties advocat-
ed by President Urbuyeau will amount to

special conventions can be negotiated with
the United States and other countries,
providing for greater nberality to Argen-
tina products before it will be necessary TO
enforce the increased duties if they should
become law.

soUTHERNPACIFIC BENEFITED
British Ships Bringing Goods From Other
Than British Territories Will Be Large
Suiierers-csnsds's Advantage.

New York, Sept. "A special 10 the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley and the entire mem.
bership Of the cabinet will probably be
consulted before Attorney General SIC
Kenna announces his opinion as to the
construction to be placed on section 2 OF
the Dingley law. imposing discriminating
duties. The encouragement expected to
announce his report this week, but now
the understanding is that it is to be held
back until next week. and In the meantime
the president will cut short his outing AHA
return to Washington. II is probable that
the question will be a subject Of a general
exchange OF views at a meeting Of the cab
inet before the opinion is written. The
questions involved are so important that
al the light possible is to be thrown upon
them before the administration is com
mitted to a construction which might
demoralize the entire commerce OF the
country and which involves a matter of
about poao.OU per year in customs,
revenues. according to the calculations of
the officials OF the treasury department.
This calculation Is made on the basis Of
last years imports and on the assump-
tion that the imports under the discrimin-
ating duty would be practically the same
in value and would come in ships of the
same nationalitles. British ships bringing
goods from other countries than British
territories would be the heaviest sufferers,
and 1t is expected that one result of the
imposition OF this duty would be the trans
fer OF many British ships TO the flags OF
nations having more favorable treaties
with the United States. The more gen.
eral assumption is that on accout of the
imposition OF these duties on goods COM
ing into the United States through a con-
tiguous country the transcontinental
roads OF the United States would be ben
etitted al the expense OF the Canadian Pa
cido road. but when 1t is taken into con-
sidera,ion that the steamship connections
OF most OF the roads would be unfavorably
affected 1t appears that the only read
which would gain much advantage is the
southern Pacific, which having connec-
tions with the American line steamships
would have the advantage of dlscrimina-
tion in favor Of its steamships as well as
against its Canadian rival.
About the only cities that would gain any
decided advantages would be Halifax and
st. Johns, as the effect of the discrimina-
ting duties on goods brought into the
United States over the Canadian Pacific
would tend to break up the transit OF such
goods through New England to the sea-
hoard and divert this traffic to those ports
IN British territory.
