She Was Bothered,

A pretty girl newly come to town
from the Pacific coast went out to dine
in Massachusetts avenue. Dinner began
with oysters on the half shell, and the
oysters were extremely large. The Pa
cific coast girls eyes opened wide when
the oysters were set before her. She
took up her fork, and then she laid it
down. Her plate of oysters was taken
away untouched.
Don't you like our eastern oysters?"
asked the woman whom she is visiting
as they were going home.
II didn't taste them," answered the
girl. "To tell the truth-well, to tell
the truth, didn t know what to do with
them. l was afraid it wasn't good form
to cut them up, and l was afraid I'd
choke if tried to swallow them whole,
SO had to let them go away. Wash

The Bad Lands.

In it's widest scope the arid region
Of the United States comprises half the
territory of the entire country, for to
so great an extent must irrigation be
employed either as primary or sec
ondary factor in the cultivation of crops,
From about the ninety-sixth to the
ninety meridian there is strip
of about $50 miles in breadth which
Major j. W. Powell calls the "subhu
mid" tract. Within it there is an an
nual precipitation sufficient to insure
crops, but the precipitation is SO dis
proportionately bestowed and at such
irregular intervals throughout the year
that the seasons of successful farming
are interspersed with long and disas-
trous droughts. Reliance, therefore, up
on moisture directly falling from the
clouds is extremely hazardous, and, I'M
supplemented by waters from stream
distribution, it is not generally reposed.
But west of the ninety-ninth and east
of the one hundred and twenty first
meridian, throughout the whole breadth
of the country, from Canada to Mexico
there is district in which nothing
needing moisture greater than that re-
quired by the artemisia or the cactus
can be planted and grown. 1t is a re-
gion aggregating about 1870, 900 square
miles, a territory larger than Arabia,
as large as and not more arid than the
combined areas of Persia and India,
with their united populations of
$50, 900, 900 souls. -Lippincott's Mag

Six Henry DoultOD.

Sir Henry Doulton, who was born IN
vauxhall Walk in 1920, practically
spent his life in Lambeth, where his
father established his pottery in the
year of Waterloo, and he took an active
part in the business from the old days
of "chimney pots, drain pipes, ink and
backing bottles" until the firm became
world famous for it's art productions,
in which, above all else, may be men,
toned it's admirable ware based upon
the old Girls de Flandres and other
types of old Flemish and German stone
ware, whose soft, tender colorings are
so restful and refined. 1t was always
pleasure to Sir Henry to chat with any
one who was interested i'll old London
the London when Nauxhall was vir-
tually in the country; when Vauxhall
gardens, with their 1000 extra
lights, were the resort of the Joe Sed-
leys and the bucks of a generation
later; when the now densely populated
suburb of Battersea was given up to
market gardens and meadows and was
considered remote enough from London
to be the scene of duel between the
Duke of Wellington and the Earl OF
Winchelsea in 1929.
Sir Henry Doulton first made name
in 1851, when he practically revolution
lied sanitary matters by introducing
stoneware drain pipes, and he went on
accommodating honors and medals and
in 1870 turned his attention to art pot
terry with equal success. AS man he
was cultured, kindly, devoted to litera-
ture and art, and most charitable and
sympathetic, and he will be immensely
missed and mourned in the great facto-
ry and the larger world outside, in
which he was SO widely known and uni
yersally liked.

Marriage Ceremonies Among the Caingua.

Marriage Ceremonies Among the Cainguas.
The only formality which the swain
has to go through to get the hand of his
promised one is to kill a tapir, an act
by which he proves that he will be Ca
pable of supporting his prospective fam
lily. The death of tapir under such
conditions is quite an event. The whole
tribe assemblies at the carcass. and a
scene of gluttony begins that does not
cease till nothing is left but the skin
and bones of the "great beast" That is
the only ceremony of marriage. The
Caingua is usually homogeneous, but
polygamy is allowed. Marriages of rel
atives are carefully avoided. After con-
finement the young mother has rest
of few days before resuming her serv-
lie task. She carries the newborn in
FAINT in scarf or sort of little hammock
slung over her shoulders. She does not
think of weaving it for year and a
half or two years. while the child has
already been exercised in arms with
miniature bows. Ideas of cleanliness
seem foreign to the women as we'll as
to the men, and it is a lucky chance
that will induce them to comb their
magnificent heads of hair-Dr. Machon

Splendid Crystals In California,

Some time ago John E. Burton Of
Lake Geneva, Wis, leased the right to
prospect for crystals in the old Green
Mountain mine, near Mokelumne hill,
in Calaveras county, Cal. He found a
number of fine specimens, and one of
them is claimed to be the largest group
or mass of crystals ever found. AS taken
out from the drift where it was uncov-
cred it was II feet inches in circum-
ference. 1t was feet inches long, 3
feet inches wide and 3 feet 3 inches
high. 1t weighed a.so0 pounds. The
mass included one large central crystal
and surrounding group OF smaller
ones. From the central one it was esti-
mated that a perfect sphere ID inches
in diameter could be cut, while several
others from three to eight inches in
diameter could be obtained from the
mass Mr. Burton has found in all
about ~ tons of crystals. -Engineering
