PeachhIow PORCELAIN

The peachblow porcelain Is Of Chi
nese manufacture and is about 300
years old. 1t is not, as sometimes sup
posed, the designation of particular
shade Of color, but rare and peculiar
glaze, which not merely covers the
surface Of the vessel, but penetrates
the entire texture of the article, so
that if the same be broken the internal
structure is identical with that of the
surface. The method by which this re-
suit is reached is unknown, and much
money has been expended in vain to
discover it. The ware is in a sense.
therefore, the result of happy acci-
dent.
Specimens of 1t are rare in China to-
day, where it is priced as highly as
anywhere else. Most of that of which
there is definite knowledge was taken
from China by the Dutch in the days
when they monopolized the trade with
that country and from Holland has
made its way over Europe. The speci-
mems in this country have almost all
of them come either from Holland d.
rect or by way of France, whittier
pieces of it were early carried by the
Dutch, arousing unusual interest
among the French potters.

The One Man Rirht.

Copernicus was at one time alone in
his belief that the earth and planets
revolved round the sun. Galilei was
right when he asserted that the moon
revolves round the earth, and so was
Columbus when he asserted the posi-
bility of sailing round the world. But
in all these cases it is possible that 9th
ers, unknown to fame, may have
shared their beliefs.
There are two instances in which one
man was absolutely right and, so far as
we know, all the rest of mankind
wrong. One was that of Newton, the
discoverer of the principle of universal
gravitat1On, and the other was that Of
John Harvey, who was absolutely
alone in his conviction that the blood
circulates through the veins and arte-
ries of living animals. In this instance
so universal was the disbelief that his
fellow doctors nicknamed him "the
quack," or 'circulator," and the word
survives to this day as the name of one
who makes a profession of medical
knowledge which he does not possess.

HE WANTED TO GO HOME.
Georgia Boys Unique Excuse For
Getting Out of His Work.

Georgia Boys Unique Excuse For
Getting Out of His Work.
One Saturday in July, says ]. a.
Hale in the Worlds Work, came
upon boy Of fifteen or sixteen crying
as though his heart would break. In
reply to my inquiry was told, Mother
is dead, and I want to go homer OF
course, l said to him, "Well, go and
see the superintendent, and he will give
you an order on the Office" The boy
moaned, 81 dun see him, and he won't
let me off till bell time"
This seemed hard when one boys
work would count for so little among
several hundred, SO l took him in the
buggy and hurried back to the office,
giving an order that he be paid off
and let go at once; but I was politely
told that ''the superintendent's orders
are that no one is to be paid till night"
After I had insisted in rather strong
language that I might possibly be a
bigger man than even the superintend-
ent the lady assistant began a series
of sharp questions, finally bringing out
the date of mothers" death as "de
26th ob last Feb'ryr' 1 sneaked off,
realizing that there were some phases
of the peach business I had better not
meddle with.

Justice Greater Than Charity

The one divine work, the one ordered
sacrifice, is to do justice, and it is the
last we are ever inclined to do. Any
thing rather than that. As much chari-
ty as you choose, but no justice. Nay"
you will say, charity is greater than
justice" Yes, it is greater; it is the
summit of justice; it is the temple of
which justice is the foundation. But
you can't have the top without the bot
tom; you cannot build upon charity.
You must build upon justice for this
main reason, that you have not at first
charity to build with. 1t is the last re-
ward Of good work. Do justice to your
brother (you can do that whether you
love him or noD and you will come to
love him.. 1t is all very fine to think
you can build upon charity to begin
with, but you will find all you have to
begin with begins at home and is es-
sentially love of yourself.-Ruskin.

What BOrax Is.

One of the most desirable articles in
the laundry or the washroom and val
liable in many purposes connected with
the household economy as well as in
scientific use is the simple salt known
to every one under the name of borax,
but probably not much known as TO its
constituent elements or its nature by
most of those who use it more or less
frequently. Biborate Of sodium, to use
its chemical name, first comes as nat
ural product from Tibet by way of
India under the name Of tincal, the
salt being covered with a green crust
of a soapy nature which requires re-
moval before the borax is available
for use

Lightning and Watches.

"An electrical storm seems to have
a peculiar effect on some timepieces, -
remarked the junior partner Of a big
downtown jewelry firm. Every time
lightning and thunder get active in
this vicinity one of the results is that
our watch repairing department is
overworked for several days there
after. The damage wrought chiefly
consists of broken mainsprings.
when business gets dull with u.s."
added the jeweler Jokingly, I'VE re-
quire all our employees to pray for a
thunderstorm. Failure to comply with
this order is considered sufficient cause
for discharge. / am unable to make
clear the why's and wherefores, but it
is an established fact that after the
lightning has frolicked awhile in come
the watches with mainsprings wreck
d."@Washington Star.

A "LOt" of Land.

A Hartford lawyer is of the opinion
that the term "lot" as applied to a par
eel of land is an American product, not
derived from any other uses of the
word. He says: 'I have been reading
up some of the old histories of my.
state. of Long Island and other colo
nial sections recently, and find that
the term "a lot of land was originated
in the colonies; that it is today consid-
cred an Americanism and stands apart
from other uses of the word. 1t origi-
mated from the custom of dividing
grants for townships, etc, into parcels
of land and then numbering each par
eel, putting the numbers into hat OF
whatever was used and then having
them drawn out by those who were to
occupy the land. Each man took the
parcel corresponding to his number, SO
his land came by lot literally. and
hence the use of the term. This, pre-
sumo, is ancient history, but perhaps
ancient enough to have been forgotten
by most real estate dealers and other
people who deal in land and not Ian
guage."

FOURIER THE PROPHET.
How He Spoiled Els Predictions by
Going Into Details.

Going Into Details.
1t is said of Fourier, the socialist,
that he had all the qualities of a proph-
ct except vagueness. His craze for pre-
cision spoiled his predictions for us.
The Speaker quotes Charles eide, the
economist, as cleverly showing what
Fourier lost by this:
Thus If writing before the advent of
railways he had confined himself to
stating that man would in a single
day be able to start from Marseilles,
breakfast in Lyons and dine in Paris
his provision would have been consid-
cred most remarkable, but since he
adds that the journey will be accom-
plished upon the back Of supple and
elastic porter, who will be the anti
Hon. we roar with laughter.
"Or again If he had said simply that
people would some day be able to COM
municate instantaneously with each
o.! :. ON one end of the world to the
other Fourier would have been credit
ed with rare degree of intellectual
foresight. but as he thought best to de-
scend to the particular, "A certain yes
sci leaving London arrives in China to.
day; tomorrow the planet Mars, having
been advised of the arrivals and move
ments of ships by the astronomers of
Asia, will transmit the list to the as
ronomers of London we again roar
with laughter and forget that he has
arrived by the fantastic machinery Of
the imagination at the same results as
the telegraph and the telephone"

Lightning and Tbunderc1oud.

In a lecture on "Rainclouds and
Lightning scientist explained the ex-
treme blackness and grotesque shape
of thunderclouds as being caused by
electrification and said that occasional
ly lightning goes upward from ground
to cloud Lightning continues until the
thundercloud has risen too high above
the subjacent ground for the tension
requisite. AS the cloud lifts the light
ning's path becomes more vertical
Thunderheads may be seen 200 miles.
Window glass has been broken by
heavy thunder. The cumun rise to a
height of some six miles, then slop over
and form a haze Ghunder haze). Light
ming will fall vertically from the ex-
treme limit of the haze cloud some
times, though no rain is falling. Light
ming causes the clouds to partially fall
to the earth in showers, and so itself
causes rain.

A FIsHERMAN's LUNCH.
How the True Angler BroiIs Trout
For His MONDAY Meal.

NOW the true Angler Broilg Trout
For His MONDAY Meal.
In the deep shade of the tree the bas-
kets are laid, and now a fire is started
nearby, one of Van Dykes little
friendship fires" which shall also
cook few trout. "Get two fat stones,
friend-and they'll be hard to find in
this bowlder country, but they are
sometimes worn quite f1at-while 1
gather some sufficient wood" Into the
fire the stones go, and the wood is
heaped about them. Soon the intense
glow Of live wood embers indicates
that the time has come.
The trout, a silver of bacon in each,
are placed on one stone, first well dust
ed Of its ashes, and the other stone is
laid upon them. Now the hot embers
are raked about and over the stones,
and the lunch is spread on the big
rock near the spring.

good unless served by Delmonico or

ADVISING AN ARTIST.
ohe Novel Suggestion That weR
Contributed by Uncle si1as.

Uncle Silas Eastman and his wife
took summer boarders. One year they
had number of artists, who were at
tracted by the picturesque loneliness
of the Eastman farm, and Uncle Silas
never hesitated to say afterward that
artists were beyond him.
''They make no trouble about their
eating" he said to a friend when at
last the boarders had taken their way
to fresh fields. you couldn't call 'em
prompt, but then they never minded
whether things were hot or cool. Least
ways they never found any fault.
But they've got curious notions and
mighty little faculty and common
sense. One of 'em was to work on a

how he was getting on, and he says:
"'Oh, Uncle Silas, the light changes
so fast, and the effect is so hard to get,
and there's only one hight more
"He was a nice little fellow, and /
felt sorry for him. so says: We'll, why

Not Buried In n Coffin.

Of the many thousands Of bodies of
soldiers who are buried in Arlington
cemetery there is but one, and that an
officer, whose remains were not inclos-
ed in a coffin. The late General NJ. @.
Meigs during the civil war and for
many years subsequently was quarter
master general of the United States
army. Some years before his death he
had erected at Arlington a large gran
ite tomb. By his direction the sculptor
cut place in the center Of the big
stone exactly the size of the formers
body. The sculptor was pledged to
secrecy, nor did the general inform any
one of the fact.
When General Meigs died, his body
was incased in handsome casket and
conveyed to the cemetery. When, how
ever, an attempt was made to put the
casket in the sarcophagus, it was
found to be impossible. and the under
taker had to remove the body from the
casket and put it in the sarcophagus
with no other covering than the gener-
ais uniform.-Washington Post.

THE RAINBOW.
aasting superstitions That Hang
About the Arch of Promise.

Rainbow gold" used to be the warn
and woof of many a childish dream.
The pot of treasure buried where the
end of the bow touches the ground
has been searched for by trusting chill.
dren again and again The present
generation of childhood is so blase,
however, that such gentle fantasies are
apt to be received with scorn.
There are many lasting superstitions
connected with the arch of promise,
however. In many countries the rain
bow is spoken of as being a great bent
pump or siphon tube, drawing water
from the sea by mechanical means.
In parts of Russia, in the Don coun-
try and also in Moscow and vicinity.
the rainbow is known by a word which
is equivalent to ''the bent water pipe"
In nearly all Slavonic dialects it is
known by terms signifying "the cloud
siphon," and in Hungary it is ''the
pump" ''Noahs pump" or Gods
pump"
In the province of Charkov, Russia,
the rainbow is said to drain the wells,
anu " pICNSnl are
with heavy, tight fitting stone plat
FORMS In the province of Saratov the
bow is said to be under the control of
three angels, one of whom pumps the
water, the second feeds" the clouds,
and the third sends the rain.
The Malayan natives call it by the
same name that they do the banded
water cobra, only that they add 'boba,' ~
meaning double headed, the equivalent
in English being "the double headed
water snake"
The Turkish children are told that
if they can touch the rainbow they will
at once have silver heads, eyes of ruby
and teeth of gold. In Greece they say
that the person so unfortunate as to
stumble over the end of the rainbow
will have his or her sex changed in
stantly.
