The term "old blue" as applied to
chinas is made to cover Il multitude Of
blues, all of which are effective in any

Whistler showed it's possibilities III his
famous blue and yellow breakfast room,
the modern old blue, even in the cheapest
makes Of China and Japan, has found a
new valuation i'll the eyes of appreciariye

inexpensive Chinese blue that Whistler
used OH table, nlantel and walls against

Civilization in France, n. ID. 1917.

Marshall D'Ancrc was assassinatcd in
the streets of Vitry, April ~, 1917. That
was just $50 years ago. The people of
France have always been looked upon as
fairly well civilized at that time. Yet
this is what these civilized Frenchmen
did. They dug up the corpse of D'Ancrc,
dragged it through the streets to the
Pont Neuf, where they hung it up by tic
feet. Then it was dragged through the
streets again to the Place de Grove.
DAncre, or what was left of him. was
dismemberetl and chopped to pieces, the
crowds fighting for morscls Of the "cx

his ears were sold to the best burger,
and what was left burned in front Of thu,

Babies for Revenue Only.

The wholesale giving away of babies
in New York calls attention to one of the
tricks of beggars in Philadelphia. A
few women have been accustomed here
for some time to hire babies and stand
with them in prominent places soliciting
aims. The baby is often changed. Dur
ing the winter, for instance. one woman
used up half dozen babies. The same
woman has had several babies this sum

both of the bak wheels OF the wagon
came o0 and dimped one-half the par
~ IN the street piling them one on top
the Other. Everybody was dumbfound-
ed. They could not realize what had
happened. AS fast as possible they
picked themselves up and began to
stare at one another in amazement. An
examination OF the wagon was made
and it was found that the coiorcd man
had taken the wheels of 10 grease
them, and had failed to screw the nuts
back, but put them on loosely, and in
moving the wagon they came of. For
tunately no one was hurs. but they were
badly shaken up. The nuts were fast
ened on and everything was made Sc
cure, but il took some little time be-
fore some OF the ladies were willing to
venture in IL again, bu, by persuasion
they got in and another start was
made. and it is quite likely they reach
ed their destination without further ac-
ciuent.
