Japanese porcelain nepair..

In the manner of repairs those Won
derful followers of principle and truth
in art, the japanese, have lesson to
teach us. When japanese connois-
seur breaks some precious piece of pot
terry or porcelain, he does not throw 1t
away with disdain, neither does he try
to deceive the casual observer into the
belief that it is unbroken. Instead, he
has 1t joined together, generally with
gold lacquer, in such fashion that the
fracture is boldly shown and comment
ed on, as 1t were, by the frank exposi-
tion of the method by which 1t is made
good. Curious enough, distinctly new
and charmingly decorative effect is in
most cases added by these irregular
gold lines, while the sense of crafts
manship is tickled by the marvellous
skill exhibited by the repairer in thus
welding together the two dissimilar
. materials. Truth is preserved at no
loss of artistic beauty. Indeed, once
more 1t is made clear that the two may
always walk hand in hand.-Connois-
Seur.

Artist md plo,rman.

Artists have many amusing and some
unpleasant experiences when trespass-
Ing Ia pursuit of subjects for their art.
When Mr.. Boughton once saw a man
plowing in u field, he climbed the di-
viding wall and began to sketch him.
This was too much for the involuntary
model, who strode up to the artist and
said, do you know what | could do
with your II haven't the slightest
idea," Mr.. Boughton answered, with a
smile
We'll" the burly plowman said, 81
could chuck you into the road" You'd
better not do that" Mr.. Boughton re.
torted. why not go back to your
plow, and I'll whistle for you in half
an hour?'
To Mr.. Boughton's surprise the man
obeyed and half an hour later was duly
summoned to inspect the finished pic
ture. "How much will they give you
for that| he asked after critically
surveying the sketch. ooh, about
f10i" the artist answered. "Well,
I'm hanged1' the astonished plownlan
said, scratching his head in perplexity.

Common sense In Law.

When we are told that every law
must be enforced to the letter though
the heavens fall, it has brave sound,
but wise regard for the public good
demands that the laws be so executed
that the heavens may not fall The
maxim that 1.-The extreme of the law
may be the extreme of Injustice
"summum JUS, summa injuria"-is Of
venerable age and has had the approx
al of the best jurisprudence as well
as the best craftsmanship of many
centuries. 1t is not mere ''sophistry' =
as somewhat hastily, | suppose, it has
been called-but it may well be quoted
in support of the application of simple
common sense to complicated and per-
picking exigencies. think there IS not
q government In the world, not even
the most conscientious, that does not
refrain from rigidly enforcing to the
letter some laws standing on its statute
books, either because they are ant
quated or because such enforcement rs
practically impossible or, If beneficial,
would result In evils greater than those
which those laws are to prevent or re-
press.-Carl Schurz.

An interesting experiment showing
the cream capacity of cows is to fill a
tumbler with milk from each COW.
Let these glasses stand in a proper
temperature until the cream is all
raised. One will be surprised to note
the difference in volume of cream
from COWS of the same breed, fed and
treated in the same manner. A still
greater difference will be observed in
milk from different breeds giving a
large quantity and from those noted
for rich product. An experiment of
this kind was recently made with ten
animals, five Ayrshires and FIVE Jer-
seys. A gallon of each cows milk
was set by itself and after standing
twenty four hours the cream from
each was churned separately. The
quantity Of butter ranged from to
IL ounces. This demonstrated that
while the milk from some COWS yields
a pound of butter from twelve pounds
of milk, in others it requires over
twenty. The food and management
of these cows was the same in each
cacn -Ev

Intelligence of insanity.

Insane people frequently make state
ments which give evidence of keen in
telligence. An instance of this kind
occurred a day or two ago In Judge
Ronham's court A Scandinavian wo-
man from one of the range towns was
undergoing examination as to her men
tai condition. Her husband. a weazen-
ed, inferior looking little fellow, had
told the story of his wife's condition,
and she took in every word he said.
She was then interrogated and an
swered all the questions about herself
and her children in a vague, rambling
manner. Finally she protested that
there was nothing the matter with
her
do you think that your husband is
out of his mind" asked the doctor.
"Ay don't tank so. Ay tank he never
hav mind to ben out Of" replied the
/ woman. Despite her seeming sanity
on this point she was committed.-Du-
luth News-Tribune.

The health, growth and development
