In old times the Dutch, by Importing
English clay, made good proht out Oh

presently the Dutch product became

But the Dutchman was no more Sc

been his predecessor, the Chinamah.
The English potters took to copying
the Dutch patterns, and sold their pot
terry much cheaper, and the north OF
England became headquarters for the
Delft china.
Again, however, the spoller has been
spoiled. OF late the Japanese have
made themselves masters OF the art OF
reproducing the patterns best liked IN
England, and have begun to encroach
on the domain long monopolized by
the English potter. The japanese prod

raised by popular subscription In Ath-

stantine, the crown prince of Greece
and Duke of Sparta, in April, last year.
The ceremonies were impressive, and
were attended by great crowds of the

the Crown Prince sent him letter of

fortune was made with his uncle, who
was a Russian merchant. The young
Greek inherited 100000, and increased

The Grand Banks.

Gustave Kobbe writes an article en-
titled "On the Grand Banks and
Elsewhere" for St. Nicholas. Mr..
Kobbe says:
The Grand Banks of Newfoundland
are the great fishing ground on this
side of the Atlantic. Other fishing
grounds near these are Western Bank
and Quiro; but all the year round you
will see vessels on the Grand Banks.
If you have ever crossed the ocean on
swift liner, you will have noticed
that when about two days out you ran
into chilly fog. You were off Cape
Race, Newfoundland, crossing the
Banks. 1t is usually cold and foggy
there, and in winter frequent gales
and now-storms add to the dreariness
and danger.
Western Bank is near Sable Island,
a long sand-bar off the coast of Nova
Scotia, and an ocean graveyard, liter
ally strewn with wrecks. The Eng
fish Government placed flock OF
sheep there because there had been
instances of sailors wrecked on the is
land starving to death; but the sheep
died. The island was too barren even
for them. A herd of ponies was tried,
and these hardy creatures fourished,
but became in time so wild as to be
unapproachable; and a shipwrecked
sailor hardly has the strength to
scamper after a wild pony. Now,
however, there are several lighthouses
and life-saving stations on the island,
and in the spring innumerable gulls
nest in the sand and lay their eggs.
In May it is not unusual for dories be-
longing to the Western Bank fleet to
get lost-at least for while; for the
gulls' eggs are good eating during that
month. 1 once asked an old fisher
man if he had ever been on Sable Is
land. He told me he had landed
there once when he'd been lost in a
dory.
''How did you get lost ?" I asked.
"On purpose, l guess" he an
swered.
Needless to say it had been in May.

FIERCE AmAzoNs Of AfRlcA.
They Are Fast Disappearing from the
Dark Continent,

DARK COntlncnf1
One of the most picturesque of the
African institutions, which are disap-
pearing as England, Germany and
other European nations take posses
sion of the continent, is the Amazon
army of the Guinea coast. 1t is pos
sible that the stories told of these
Amazons have been much exaggerated.
but the accounts of them given by en-
tirely reliable authorities are too in
teresting to need establishment OF
any kind.
When Captain Burton visited Cana,
in West Africa, the Amazon army,
which he first encountered near that
place, consisted of $500 women, who
we're served by other women, held as
slaves for them.
The Amazon soldiers consisted of
women of two kinds-those who were
originally spinsters, selected by the
king for the service, and those who
had been separated from their hus-
bands. Although enlistment among
the Amazons was looked on as an
honor. it was also used as q punish
ment for any wife whose temper was
so domineering that her husband
found her insupportable.
About one-third of the army had
been married women. The rest were
maidens, watched with the greatest
care to prevent them from indulging
the human weakness of falling in love.
A fetish, placed over the gate of the
camp, was supposed to have the power
of detecting them, but if in spite of it
they broke their laws of military con
duct they and their accomplices were
put to death.
Their uniform consisted of blue
and white tunic without sleeves and a
petticoat, under which they wore a
pair of short trousers, much like the
bicycle boomers of the United States.
Over the whole was strapped the am
munition belt The muskets carried
by the women were antigua. ed, and,
as they rammed the ball down on the
powder without wadding, they were
never likely to hit anything they
aimed at.
The Amazon army was divided into
battalions, one of the most curious OF
which was the ''razor brigade, " armed
with razors two feet long, used in cut
ting off the heads of enemies killed by
the others or of criminals condemned
| to death.

Austria's imperial Pawn Shop,

Austria has an imperial pawn shop.
1t was established in Vienna in 1907,
when there was great distress among
the poor in the southern part of the
empire. 1t was designed as way to
secure to the starving some means of
immediate relief, and by putting the
rate of interest as low as possible and
the valuations as high as possible, and
embodying in the system every adj
vantage that could be given to those
who sought to make loans, it was found
to be so effective that it soon gained
the imperial sanction, and it was not
long until its managers were made
public officials under the direction of
the minister of the interior. This is
substantially the status of the institu
ton at this time. The rates are so
low that the business done on the
cheap goods and chattels of the poor
could not possibly make the establish
ment self-sustaining; but people who
have been suddenly reduced in cir
cumstances, or who are temporarily
embarrassed, keep the margins on the
right side and enable the institution
to keep open without the aid of sub
sidy. In the year 1853 total of S66,
0l5 articles were pledged, and of these
S4S, 562 were redeemed, remarkable
redemption as compared with the pro-
portions of the average pawn shop.
The unredeemed pledges were sold by
pnblic auction, and whenever they
brought more than the face of tie
pledge the balance was sent to the ac-
count of the pledger, to be refunded
any time within three years. Londcn
