Instead of curtailing State expenses the
present Legislature seems more disposed
to add to the burdens of the State Trea 8.
ury. Already measures have been passed
and others introduced whose chief pur-
pose is this end, while others, though
they may have some features of merit,
could be disposed with, because the
results will not be commensurate with
the expense entailed. The Senate this
week has passed at least two bills for the
sole purpose of increasing salaries. One
raises the pay of the members of the
State Board OF Taxation from $4,000 to
$2500. and the other increases the salary
from $40O to $500. The plea was made
that the former salary was not commeu-
surate with the work to be done. Perhaps,
but if the gentlemen who are at present
serving in any Of these capacities think
they are underpaid We will guarantee
that if they will resign their places can

as capable, for the old salary. The
! Senate has also passed Senator Voorhees,
bill for commission or commissions to
codify and revise the laws. Evidently
another fat job for the lawyers. The
former commission for this purpose cost
the State $27, 1000, and if another is ap-
pointed, the cost will not stop at that
sum. Such work is largely for the
benefit of the lawyers, and certainly
there is no pressing demand for such
commission just now. 1t is time note
of warning was sounded that shall be
heard at Trenton, for the people have
their eyes on the present Legislature,
and if the Republicans expect to main
tain their ascendency in that body, and
elect Republican successor to United
States Senator Smith and Gov. Griggs as
well, it will be necessary to trim the
sails very carefully to the popular senti-
| ment along the line Of economy in State

bill, which was passed by vote of II to
8. was that the mem bers were entitled to
an increase because of their onerous
duties The opposition declared that the
proven by the members not resigning. If
they did resign, members equally as
competent could be found. Senator
Skirm contended that while he was not
in favor of the bill of Mr.. Wildes to re-
duce salaries, yet the demand for
it showed that it would not
lie wise now to increase sa,a-
ries. The members who voted against
the bill were Senators Barber, Engle,
Herbert, Gould, Parry, Kuhl, Reed,
Skirm aud Stanger.
Senator Voorhees, bill authorizing the
appointment of a commission to revise
and codify the laws, was passed after
considerable opposition. The last revision
cost the State $27, 900 and Senator Skirm
held that another would cost as much or
more. Senator Voorhees, defended the
bill and dwelt at length on the necessity
for its passage.
The members were greatly interested
this afternoon in a rumor to the effect
| that Lewis A. Thompson, Clerk of the
Court of Chancery, would be requested
to resign for the purpose of acc pting the
Office of Secretary of State. The Iuuor
said that Mr.. Wurts, the present Com.
missioner of Banking and Insurance, had
expressed desire to remain in his present
office rather than be elevated to that of
Secretary of State, and that the Governor
contemplated suggesting to Mr.. Thomp-
| son that he resign and accept the higher
| office. To lend color to the rumor, the
gossips spoke of long conference which
Mr.. Thompson had with the Governor
yesterday. The rumor mongers had the
story nicely studied ont, with details and
reasons to prove It's truth, but when Mr..
Thompson was seen he declared that it
was all news to him.
Both Houses adjourned for the week
for the want of something to do.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. 8, 1897.

THiLADELFHlA, MondaY, FeD D, 1897.
Prehistoric races produced pot
terry. The Egyptians even learned
the use of tin in making an opaque
enamel, two centuries before the
Assyrians had learned the use of
lead in the manufacture. Almost
forty feet of alluvial deposit along
the Nile covered bits of pottery that
an English engineer secured and
presented to the British Museum.
The Persians practiced the art.
So did the Arabs and Saracens.
Then Europe got the secret-and
lost it. In the Fifteenth century
Luca della Robbia rediscovered it.
Bernard Palissy, born in the pro-
vince of Perigord, France, 1910,
was the father of enameled pottery
in France-not the applier of other
mems wit, but the laborious evolver
of a science. Sixteen years labor
was spent in the evolution-years
of privation and sacrifice. h-e,
more, for the spirit of the inventor
quenched the spirit of the man. His
children died from lack of comforts;
his wife pleaded in vain.
The man was mad.
The kilns needed fuel fuel,
fuel. Empty purse, the upbraid-
ings of his wife, the contempt of
neighborS, were all unheeded. He
would succeed. Furniture was
broken and burned, and the story
teller paints his climax by the glow
from the last stick. The fire dies, the
kiln cools. Palissy, with trembling
hands, withdraws the few pieces.
JOY! The enamel had fused! Sue
cess was his-vessels of intermixed
colorS after the manner of Jasper
were the fruits of his labor-and
the art of making them was his.
Not madman now. Success veiled
the past Catharine de Medici pat
ronized him. His defamers were
now his champions. The world had
gained, as it often has gained,
through sacrifice. There was
row of tiny graves.
E Palissy espoused the cause of the
Reformation, and in 1888, for the
second time, suffered for the faith he
would not recant, and went to the
Bastile. Death saved him from the
execution to which he was SEN
fenced.
This is not the story of ceramics,
but merely anincident to show how,
in the centuries past, as now, the
human family has counted pottery
as worthy of something akin to
love.
Pottery making-and now we
narrow the word to cover merely
the CHINA AND PORCELAIN of
daily use-has benefited by the ap-
plication of improved mechanical
aids, and the one-time tedious pro-
cess of producing tableware has
been simplified until the capacity of
a single factory in Limoges, France,
is eleven thousand plates in day.
| Another Limoges factory has in
creased its daily capacity by half
even since 1892.
All this means something to the
user of china-that something a
material saving in costs dat has not
until now been shared to the full
with you.
| The evolution of the WANA-
| MAKER CHINA STORE brings you the
advantage of fair commercial prices
for tableware of all degrees of dain-
tiness and beauty. These prices are
low by comparison with those asked
in other stores. They are possible
| because we gather the goods direct
from the worlds standard makers
gather without useless expense
and we depend on the volume ot
business for the outcome.
| The stocks are great ; varied
| yes, best.

To get a little idea Of what the same
amount of money would do If spent in
some other direction, We will suppose
that the thirty dollars was spent for
broad, six loaves for twenty five cents,
we fud it would buy 740 loaves. or make
One continuous loaf 720 feet long. The
amount spent in five years, if it was
invested in bread, would buy 4. 225 loaves,
or make one nearly a mile long. Think
OF a man smoking or chewing up loaf
of bread mile long, and possibly, at the
same time his wifs is taking in washing
to get bread for their children.
The amount speut iu ten years invested
in the same way would buy 9 891 loaves,
or make one loaf almost two miles long;
G"enty years, %. $50, or one almost five
miles long; thirty years, 81 2S9, or make
one loaf over eleven miles long; fifty
years. 217 900, or one loaf over forty
miles long
