AMERICAN POTTERY.
The sOuwelsa Is Almost as Lovely as
ROOkwOOd-COsts About Half
as Much.

American pottery has few peers in
these days of Souwelsa and Rookwood
and the pale, pearly, exquisitely-tinted
glaze ware shown In such graceful de-
signs, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. The Souwelsa is first cousin
to Rookwood, but poor relation, as it
costs about half as much as do the
symphonies in polished greens and
browns. 1t has the same finish, the
same designs and tones, but seems to
lack the richness of Rookwood, al
though the difference would not be per-
ceptble to the person perfectly sane
on the question of bric-a-brac. The en-
thusiast 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-panc. \
-shouldered jar of this ware is
softly shaded from palest blue at the
top, where it forms n background for n
graceful rose-hued iris, the long, pale
green stems Of which stand out deli
cately against the misty gray below.

From Laboring Man to Millionaire.

Scranton has been all agog for
the past few days over the an
nouncement on Saturday that Chas.
w. Westley, a lowly citizen, had
become a millionaire. His aunt,
Mrs. J. F., Ayres, eighty-three
years old, at Andover, N. j., noti-
fed him by letter that she had set
tied upon him as her sole heir and
she desired that he change his
abode from Scranton to Andover
and look after her in her declining
days. The aged lady is worth a
great deal over million, and has
among other property a Ioo-acre
peach orchard and town site. 1t
is needless to say that he has
moved.

THE IDEAL NEWSPAPER.
How One Was Tried and What the Result
Was.

Mrs. Byron Sherry defended the
newspapers at the tenth May meet
ing of the Illinois Universalist
church, Prairie Avenue and Thir-
tieth street. She said the modern
newspaper reflected the moral con-
dition of the people, and if they
wanted better papers they would
have to be better themselves.
" hear a great deal about the
ideal newspaper in the clubs and
literary societies l VISIT Mrs.
Sherry said, but i'll the face of
this theorizing and knowing l will
be thought heretical if l must say
the newspapers are just what you
make them"
" Continuing, she said: The
ideal newspaper would, of course,
have only matter pertaining to pur-
ity and temperance and kindred
things. Well, I've seen one, and
I took pains to find out what people
thought of it, and the verdict WASH t
encouraging. The paper 1 am
speaking of was woman's S edition
of a big daily, and it was filled
with columns about suffrage and
the w. c. T. U. and the white
ribbon movement and homes for
cripples and half.orphans and lot
Of other things that interested the
laar The
started out to talk to the men, for
knew the women would voice a
chorus of praise. l asked my hus-
band how he liked it. He reads
the paper before he eats his break
fast, usually, but that day he said
he guessed he'd let me and the
children read it.. l talked to q
merchant, and he said he hat
looked it all over and hadn''
found any news, and another friend
said /: It's long on essays but &
little short on news
asked another if he didn'
feel better inside for having seen al
ideal paper, and he answered
No; it made me swear this morn
ing. I had little money invested
in wheat and l wanted to see how
the market was, and there isn't
line of markets in the paper Ant
that was the way this ideal pape
\ was received. It's much easier t.
criticise than to perform. News
papers were established to meet ;
popular demand. They have thei
vices and their virtues just as tn
people do. AS humanity gets bet
ter they will get better. T.ey re
fleet your moral condition perfectly
If you want a good newspape
be good yourselves. - CHieas

SUNSET AND SUNRISE.
1t Is Much Like the beauty of a
Woman and Thnt of n
Young Girl.

Sometimes one sees sunrise. Cen
orally it is on sleeping car or else
where when one cannot claim credit
for the seeing, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. Poets are lazy
creatures, else they would write more
about sunrises than sunsets. Sunrises
really suit them better; at least such
of them as are "of the air, airy" A few
are sunset men, but most of them, in
spite of the babble about passion, are
rather shimmery creatures and the
shimmery colors are the sunrise col
ors-delicate pinks and yellows, such
as the sunset never equals, though its
colors are richer and more satisfying
in way.
The evening colors are like the
beauty of a woman. 1t seems as II the
long experience of the day had given
them the depth and richness that the
experience Of life gives to the woman.
The morning colors are like the young
girl, beautiful in her promise more
than in her present self. The sunset
is what we need at the end of the firing
day. We steep our souls in it's glorious
soloring and in its strength, and lose
the dust and WEAKNESS of the day. The
sunrise comes to us as we awaken. It's
purity appeals to us not to let our souls
be dragged down by the sordid day TO
come. The sunrise is the conservation
preceding the action.

You May Bend the sapliug. But Not the
Tree"

When disease has become chronic
and deep seated it is often difficult
to cure it. That is the reason why
it is best to take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla when disease first shows itself
in pimples, headaches, indiges-
ton, or other troubles which tell of
poor blood, weak stomach or dis
ordered liver or kidneys. This
great medicine regulates the Whole
system. 1t never disappoints.
Hoods Pills are the favorite FAM
lily cathartic.

The Blatherskite.

The PunXsutawney Spirit of last
week says, and we are of the same
opinion, that one of the gravest Of
tenders against human society and
against whom we have no protec-
ton is the blatherskite. We find
him everywhere-always eager to
express an emphatic opinion upon
all subjects. He is blatherskite
because he is by nature and educa-
ton rattlebrain. No amount OF
snubs and rebuffs will cause him to
realize that his wisdom is not ap-
preciated. He is a heartrending
notice and yet we dare not kill him
because the naturalist classes him
in the genius home.

St0NE GREEK AT HIS BIRTH.
story Cold of Arthur Tyyining Had
aty, the New President of
Yale University.

Arthur Twining Hadley, who has re-
Gently been elected TO succeed lin
othy Dwight as president of Yale
university, is the son of the late
Prof. James Hadley, of Yale, whose
name is more or less pleasantly as
sociated in the minds of students of
the ancient Greek language and litera-
ture for tho last 80 years as the author
of n grammar of that wonderful
tongue. The younger nadIcy was q
student from the cradle, always stand
ing at the head of his class. lie was the
valedictorinn of the class of '76 at
Yale. He might have said of himself,
as did John Stuart Mill, that he could
not remember the time when he did not
know Greek.
In his undergraduate days, says the
Chicago Chronicle, this story was cur
rent as showing his precocity: When
he was born the infant gasped almost
instantly the Greek word, "Erchomai,"
which is usually translated 81 come"
sometimes 81 have come" although 1t
is of the present tense. Prof Hadley
smiled with pride at this evidence of
heredity, patted the infant on the back
and mildly corrected him by saying:
"Elthon," another tense of the same
verb, known as the second aorist," and
expressing to the ancient Athenian the
idea of indefinite past time.
1t is common report that at an age
when most boys are in the kindergar-
ten the distinguished scholar would not
have been able to trip up his son in even
so trifling an error.

The premier baron of England, Lord
de Ros, has just celebrated his birth
day, having completed his seventy-sec7
and year. There are older peerages still
ia existence, but the barony of De Ros
is the oldest peerage of that grade, it
having been created in 1864 by Henry
ILL.,, and the present peer is the twenty
fourth holder of the title. That gives
an average life to each holder of over
&c years. but many of them did not sue
ceed to the title very early in life. The
present peer was Al when he succeeded
his father. The present Lord de Ros
served as equerry and lord in waiting
to the queen and prince consort.

No More Fakirs.

Mayor Schaadt, of Allentown,
has issued instructions and an order
to the police department not to is
sue any more licenses to fakirs and
street merchants. The first day af-
ter the order was issued the streets
was cleared and the business men
are elated at the action of the
Mayor. The city, they say, can
we'll afford to lose the small sum of
one dollar a night, instead of hav-
ing the crowds gather about the
hawkers and lose their dollar and
fifty-cent pieces without any sub
stantial returns.
