works of art in ivory, jade and wood
Speaking of the matter to a reporter
says the Washington Post, the leading
dealer in such objects of this city said:
"The soldiers and officers returning
from China brought away very little
porcelain, chinaware and objects Of
bronze, and in consequence stuff OF
this sort is as rare and scarce as ever
The reason of this was that they could
not carry bronze and china vases, be.
cause they were too large and toe
easily broken. Consequently they
gathered up only such things as they
could carry on their person or that
packed in small trunks and grips
would not be broken on the journey
home. A vast amount of silk was
brought into this country by officers
and men who served in the Picking
campaign. In fact, they brought more
silk than anything else. At first
bought a good deal of it from off.

THE RESPECTABLE PIG.
Such the Animal May BecOme whezs
the Conditions which Govern 1t
Are Changed.

The American hog may yet become
a model of neatness and cleanliness
1t is simply a matter Of giving the
animal a chance TO live ia a decens
and sanitary manner, inasmuch as it's
natural inclination is not towar&
filth. On the contrary, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening POST
the pig in its wild state is decidedly
a clean beast.
The government bureau of animal
industry is of the opinion that the
whole system of keeping pigs coulG
be reformed to advantage. instead
of being confined in pens, they ought
to be allowed to range, whenever a
sufficient area is available for then
purpose, and they should have plenty
of fresh, pure water for drinking and
bathing. Hogs suffer greatly frenA
heat, and when there is no water a1
hand they resort to w%allowing as n
means of cooling themselves.
Not long ago Prof. John A. Craig
established on the grounds Of the
Iowa Agricultural college what hes
called a summer resort for swine
There was a double row of trees
with a ditch between, and a streansa
Of fresh water from the college mainA
was allowed to flow through the
ditch. A number of pigs were turncdi
loose on the premises, and greatly,
did they enjoy themselves, getting.
fat the while. They had the run Of.
40 acres of pasture, with suitable.
houses for their protection when it,
stormed.
The ordinary method of keeping pigs
is extremely cruel. No other animaM
could survive under such conditions.
but they manage to do so, and henceih
is taken for granted that they are rea
sonably satisfied and enjoy their
wretched surroundings. The shed pro-
vided for a shelter in one corner Of
the pen is usually not ra%in-proof, and
thus things are made additionally III
pleasant for the unfortunate crea-
lures. To add insult to injury, people
look over the edge of the sty and ex-
claim with disgust that the hog is wen
named.
There is no reason why pigs should
not have free range even in winter
with roomy sleeping-pens and clean
bedding. If the sleeping-sheds werg,
at one end Of the pasture and the ami
mails were fed at the other end, they
would go to and fro Of their own ae-
cord, getting useful exercise, and hv-
ing in a clearly fashion. OF pure waite

'.When Kniahthood Was in Flower"

Probably no other play in which Julia
Marlowe has appeared ever aroused so
much argument as has been created by
when Knighthood Was in Flower" which
she brings TO the New National Theater
this week for its second Washington en-
gagement during the current season.
The production has been bombarded
with steady cross-fre OF contradictory
opinions, relating mainly to its historical
atmosphere Some critics take the ground
that Il is simply straight forward little
comedy OF sixteenth century life, and that
it serves all the purposes for which it
was intended.
Others say that it defes the precedents
and facts of history in every act, and
that royal personages of no time or coun-
try ever conducted themselves as do the
kings, queens. princes and princesses in
Paul Kesters dramatization OF Charles
Majors romance of chivalry.
However, all that may be, the fact re-
mains that Mr.. Major, whose book has
been pretty faithfully followed by Mr.
Kester. was made a member Of the Royal
Society Of Antiquarians during recent

historical value Of his novel. That cer
