AMERICAN POTTERY.

The Souwelsa Is Almost as Lovely au
 Rook,voOd.
 American pottery has few peers in these days of Souwelsa and Redwood and the pale, pearly, exquisitely tinted glaze ware shown in such graceful de- signs, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first eou- sin to Redwood, but a poor relation, Rs it costs about half as much as do the symphonies in polished greens and browns. It has the same finish, the same designs and tones, but seems to lack the richness of Redwood, al- though the difference would not be per- ceptible to the person perfectly sane on the question of bric-a-brac. The enthusiast can tell the difference in the dark. she says. The pale-tinted American pottery is highly polished and the flowers of the decoration seem to bloom mistily through the glaze, like flowers seen through frosty window pane. A high-shouldered jar of this ware is softly shaded from palest blue at the top, where it forms back ground for a graceful rose-hued iris, the long. pale green stems of which stand out delicately against the misty gray below.

Interests a Remarkable old Ohio Man
 A letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer from John A. Tinsley, most remark able old gentleman living at Ports mouth, Ohio, expresses his belief that in the article in last Sundays Enquirer on the present Lord Fairfax, living in Virginia, there were some errors. and he relates many interesting anecdotes of the early days in Maryland. Lord Fairfax" !" he says, did not have sin gle child, and this present Lord Fair fax must be descended from brother of the great Lord Fairfax who came here in the last century" MT. Tinsley has in his possession old deeds exc cuted by the first Lord Fairfax to Isaac Van Meter. It seems that Hr. Tins leys father had known the first Lord Fairfax when that gentleman was alive and he relates to him the story of how the county of Hampshire came to be named Fairfax was sitting in front of his hotel one day when drove of hogs passed by, and he inquired where they came from. Prom the land along the south part of the Poto- mac, your grace" replied the man. .'Very well, l shall call that county Hampshire, because those hogs look like the hogs in Hampshire, England, !" and for many years the land which now comprises several counties of the state was known as HamFsbir8

SPANISH aARnorE.
Relic of Modern Barbarism Unearshsa
 from an Old Havana Prison.


 from an Old Havana Prison.
 Among the many relics of the Span ish war taken to the governors palacs for eataloguing, none is attracting more attention in Havana just now than the old official garrote. The ma chine has been in active service Tov more than a century, the last execu- tioner, an aged negro convict, having presided at 70 ceremonies. The gaF- rote itself is a shabby enough old trap consisting mainly of rusty iron and an unplaned board or two. The dous are awfully punctilious in regard to form. but scandalously careless of 3D. pearance. A judge who might have seven kinds of fits if he should omit one syllable of the interminably long harangue delivered at the scene of the judicial murder, would calmly otficiata at the same in a condition which to the untrained olfactories of the ignor- ant Yankees might savor of the hum- ble animal the dons have declared we resemble. Thus it is that the garrote is simple to excess. It is about 10 feet high all told The platform, which is four feet from the ground. is some six feet square Attached to the iron column which runs through and sup ports this is an iron chair. Two feet above this is the fatal screw The cai- prit @ is seated in this chair with his hands and feet firmly tied, and his eyes b1indfolded. At the proper mo- ment, a twirl is given the screw which penetrates his neck and breaks his spinal column. The operation may or may not be very painful. If it were not for the peculiarly flendish manner in which the affairs were conducted there is reason to believe that the gar- rote is less inhuman than either the rope or the chair 1t is the Spanish who have thrown the method into odium.

FED TO ANIMALS.

In the corn districts of the United States the English sparrows have abandoned insects for gram.
 Though horses train best on hay and eats in many stables they are now be- ing fed hay, bran, vegetables and corn, mixed, steamed and then served after this cooking. Dogs have been induced 10 fe5d on vegetables in order that they may be milder tempered and the dog biscuits fed them have taken the place of table scraps.
 Animals that live on one single food are growing more scarce among the highly organized creatures. There is evidence that the swan once fed on aquatic grasses. Once when ice de- atroyed the grass growing at the bot tom of the lagoon at Abbotsbury the half-Wild swans starved in hundreds because they would touch no other food. Nowadays they eat grain and bread.
 Instances of carniyorous animals turning to vegetable diet are rare. One noted instance is a Scotch deer hound, which is So fond of peaches that it will stand on it's hind legs to reach them on the trees. In New zea- land a parrot took to sheep-killing and eating, and some pigs evinced a prefer ence for a diet of young lamb, while some Australian sheep became not only carniVorous but esnnikal.

riltby Drinking Utensils.

Dr. Woods says; The drinking water is a fruitful source of disease. I'm pure water should not be allowed within reach of fowls. It is n0 utn- common sight on poultry farms, otifHri- wise well kept, to find the water yes-- sels in filthy condition. Putting clean water into foul receptacles IS labor wasted; yet we not infreauenfly see on poultry farms dirty woodeIb tubs or unclean metal vessels contain Ing uninviting drinking water. On a. farm which l visited recently the fowls are supplied with running water l1T a. metal trough. Judging from the con- dition or the trough, and the accum- ulated filth and slime, it had not been cleaned since the plant was bui1t--sev-> eral years; yet the proprietor was snas able to account for bowel troubles anG other ailments to which his fowls were subject We cannot be too careful about the drinking water. It shoui3 be such as we would be willing Sgs drink ourselves, since 1t plays an inf- portant part in the makeup of the 1OWi anu OI tue 6SS. Meldi WdASA dishes. if kept clean, are all right; but glazed earthenware ones are better They should be so made that they can be easily and thoroughly cleaned should be well rinsed each time re- filled, say twice or three times daily. Once week they should be washed and scalGed.

Mice That Manufacture Thread.

A Scottish artisan has conceived the ingenious and economic idea of em- ploying mice in the manufacture of thread. The small quadrupeds are made to turn a wheel with their feet, and in this manner, and by means of R simple mechanical contrivanee, they are able to make about 2,800 reels of 197 yards each daily. To produce this quantity it is estimated that they cover . course of 1s.000 yards.

PLANTS SEEN IN QUEER PLACES
Ten story Factory Blooming All Over
 xyitt Flowers


 Flower pots exposed along the win dow lodges prove that spring is here. There is no better sign. All winter the faint blooms have shone behind the glass of the panes, but now they take the open air like inyalids confined for long, but eon4aleseing. They are curious things, flower pots, and evil dence the love Of nature born in us all and staying with Us to our latest breath. They are seen, too, in the most curious places. There is a huge smoke grimed factory on the west side, ten stories high. The air about it is thick with coal dust and soot. Yet all summer its lodges bloom like gardens. One knows that many girls work in that factory. The flowers are watered from tin cups that are carried full and dripping the long length of the halls jn the luncheon half hour. Men would not take the trouble, but the woman who does not love buds and blooms is as rare as the woman who does not love babies. In either case her think, ing machinery has slipped a cog or was built wrongly to begin with. Flower rots and little seamstresses working high up above the ctty's roar go to- gether as naturally as turkey and cranberry sauce.

LETTER BOXES.
Which Deliver Messages and Cards tO
 Upper Floors.

Upper Floors.
 In several of the new apartment houses In Paris an ingenious invention has been placed, which is of such prae- tical. common sense value that it might be introduced with profit in this country; where any saving Of time and labor appeals so strongly to modern American ideas. The patent in ques- ton is an automatically moving letter box for the reception of letters ad- dressed to tenant. In the gestibule of the house are placed just as many of these letter boxes as there are ten ants in the building In general ap- pearance there is little difference be tween the group of boxes and those to be seen in the Vestibule of any fiat house in this country. Instead, how ever, Of retaining the letters, cards, etc, until a servant descends to get them, or the tenant opens the box on entering or leaving his house, the Paris invention performs it's work promptly by delivering it's contents to The person for whom they are intend ed. Thus, when the postman on his rounds has a letter for MT. So-and-So, he deposits it in the box bearing that gentleman's name. The missive opens q lever at the bottom of the box, which thereupon moves upward until it comes to MT. So-and-So's apartment. Then, by co-relative mechanism, the contents of the box are emptied into 8 receptacle in the hall of the apart ment and a bell is rung automatically to notify the servants that letter has come. Its duty done, the box de- scends again to take it's place with those of the other tenants in the ves- tibule. And not only letter alone, but even a visiting card dropped into the box will speed 1t on Its upward erTand, so light is the weight required to operate this practical mechanism.

STEEL BEAMS

Neatly and Quickly Cut by the Use of
 Electricity.
 During the reconstruction of an of fee building recently in Chicago an interesting use was made of the elec- tric current in cutting in two elus- ter of half a dozen heavy steel beams which it was necessary to remove. These beams were of the ordinary ] shape and 15 inches deep. Owing to the difficulty of getting at the beams at the places where they were to be cut, special saws would have been re- Quired had the beams been cut in the ordinary way, and it was estimated that the work would take two men about twelve days time and cost about $100. Instead of doing the work with hack saws, method was adopted such as scientific burglars invented for get ting into safe and vault doors of steel. A current of electricity was brought In from the electric lighting wires in the street to do the work. The posi- tive terminal wire was attached to the steel framework of the building, to which the beams were riveted. and the negative wire was attached to carbon point one and half inches .h diameter. which was provided with wooden handle to enable the operator to direct it along the beams at the places where they were to be cut. An asbestos shield protected the operators body from the heat and black specta- cles protected his eyes. In twelve hours the beams were severed. with an expenditure of only about fiye-horse power in electric current, and the work was done by an ordinary work man.

Backing Up,

Not all of the drivers skill is de.
voted to driving ahead; it takes a
good driver to be able to back up in
good shape. Not every driver, by
any means, can halt and then back
up to a curbstone and hit it square
and true with both wheels the first
clip. That is something that requires
more skill than might be imagined by
one who had never tried it.
But in backing up on the level. IL
man fails to hit the curb exactly the
hrst time, he can manoeuvre until he
does. There are places where skill
must be exercised and where a level
head is called for, too For instance
IN backing up, or rather, backing
down, into an excavation, on the In.
clined causeway left for that purpose
The excavation is begun at the rear
OF the lot, and the earth forming the
causeway, running up to the level OF
the street at the front, is left until the
last. In the later stages of the ex
cavating the causeway is left Just
wide enough at the top for the carts
or wagons to move on, and it's sides
slope down precipitously. The driver
who backs down on one of these mar
row cellar causeways, simply must hit
it right.
