"A woman who is new to the Office OF

DRESDEN CHINA.

First offered For snle Mt the Fair
of Leipsic In 1921.
Dresden china began its reign at the
fair of Leipsic, 1921, where 1T was Of
fered for public sale for the first time.
1t has had three periods Kings, Mar
coline and modern-and for all around
use it continues to be the most popular
ware of this day.
The factory marks traced on the bot
tom of each piece vary according to the
period-the oldest Qing's) being the
monogram A. r. and the wand Of Ks-
culapius. The familiar crossed swords,
with the dot or circle between the han
dies, were first used in 1921, and the
star took the place Of the dot in the
Marcoline period. The modern mark is
the simple crossed swords, sometimes
accompanied by letters and numbers.
Although the methods of work are
still jealousy guarded in all factories,
the essentials are an open secret, and

Starch originated" he said, Gin

land, with the big ruff, in the time Of
Queen elizabeth. 1t was like our starch

colors-red. yellow, green, blue. The
effect of this was to tint delicately the
white linen to which the starch might
be applied.

land, which required no stiffening.
Then the rufus of cambria came, and
these must of necessity be starched''
The grocer, consulting his nemoran-

1T is recorded that when the queen
had rufus made of lawn and cambria

a MARVELLOUS STRUCTURE.
The Grandeur OF the Great Natural
Bridge In Virginia.

Virginia is a state which abounds
with springs which have medicinal
properties. 1t Is also state in which
nearly every foot Of ground has histor-
ic associations, and this fact, together
with its glorious landscapes, makes it,
an unusually interesting state to visit.
There are thousands of resorts, each Of
which has it's own special attractions,
but none has attracted more visitors
than the resorts in the vicinity Of the
Great Natural Bridge. which is one Of
the natural wonders of the United
States.
This marvellous structure overlooks
the James river valley, being on the
western slope Of the Blue mountains.
1t is just about the center of the state.
1t approaches Niagara in grandeur and
exceeds it in height and awful mystery.
1t is single block Of limestone, with
many shades Of color. The walls are
smooth, as If cut with chisels, and there
is no sign Of displacement.
The visitor follows tumbling cas-
cade down a deep fissure in the noun
tain under some of the largest arbor
vitae trees in the world and, turning
down line of steps cut into the preci-
pice, suddenly finds himself by swift
stream in dark canyon and the great
bridge far above him. Birds high in
mir pass under the blue arch. The place
is full Of echoes, and the winds and
waters moan eternally.
Washington when surveyor for
Lord Fairfax visited the natural bridge
and carved his name, where it may
still be seen. The original bridge tract
was granted by King George III. to
Thomas Jefferson in 1774 After he
was president Jefferson visited the
place, surveyed 1t and made the map
with his own hands. Jefferson spoke
of the place as "a famous place that
| will draw the attention Of the world"

bridge as Goods greatest miracle in
stone."s Henry Clay wrote of 1.-THE

The Cancels Bite.

The camel alone of all ruminants has
incisor teeth in the upper jaw, which.
with the peculiar structure Of his other
teeth, make his bite, the animals first
and main defense, most formidable.
The skeleton of the camel is full OF
proofs Of design. Notice, for example,
the arched backbone, constructed in
such a way as to sustain the greatest
weightin proportion to the span of the
supports. A strong camel can bear a

Little Girl Assaulted.

Charles Day was arrested in Prescott
Saturday evening about five o'clock
ON charge of attempting to assault
little six year old girl. CD. Ryner-
SOD, who has room at the Brink
meyer hotel, was lying on his bed
looking out of the window when he
saw the man with the little girl on
his lap sitting on pile of lumber in
the alley at the rear of j. W. Wilson's
clothing store. He watched his per-
formances for a few moments and saw
that the man was acting in an incrim-
mating manner and called Mr.. Rench-
ard, who was in the hotel waiting
room, and they watched the man two
or three minutes until they thought
il best to go and put a stop to such
actions, but before they reached the
place the child's mother bad called
her and she had gone into the house
and the man was gone. The father of
the little girl was notified and ne
notified the sheriff who sent bis depu-
ties out to arrest the villain. He was
soon found near the depot and placed
behind the bars. He is a stranger
here and is man apparently about %
years old, with greyish red beard, and
having the general appearances of a
tramp. 1t is thought by those who
have seen him that he is mentally
unbalanced. He had his preliminary
examination this afternoon before

Iron King Wins Game.

Granite Dells was the scene of gay
crowd yesterday, it being only ex-
ceeded in number this season by the
crowd on July 4th. 1t was estimated
that thers we're between 500 and zoo
people on the ground. The special
attraction of the day was the great
game of ball between the famous
Wbipple team and the yet unvan-
quished Iron King nine. So far this
season the Whipple boys had been too
much for anything they got up
against, and the Iron King boys had
won every game they had played and
when it was announced that these
two mines we're to cross bats at the
Dells the crowd rushed out there by
the hundreds. A special train was
also run in from the Big Bug section
and about 2U0 hundred came in from
the Iron King mine and that vicinity.
The day was ideal and the players
all in fine shape and the best game of
ball played in northern Arizona was
the result. At the end of the first
half of the ninth inning the score
stood seven to five in favor of the
Iron King nine with the pick and
drill boys at the bat, and as the,game
was already theirs they did not play
the last half.
The following is the line up of the
game:
Iron King-Cole, c.; Demary, p.:

THE VISITORS
NOT WELCOME
A Surprise Party to
Turkish Officials.
Thought MOnastir Incident Closed
Until Apprised of Sailing of
Russian Fleet.

Constantinople, Aug. 1S.-The Rus
sian squadron is expected TO arrive
off the Turkish coast this afternoon
to support the demands made on Tur.
key in connection with the assassina.
tion of the Russian consul at Monas-
tir. The fact that Russia is about to
make naval demonstration has been
kept a profound secret here.
The notification received of the
sailing of the squadron was an unwel-
come surprise to the Turkish govern
ment, which preferred to ibelieve that
the Roskoyaski incident was closed
with the punishment of the guilty
parties. The most recent advices from
Monastir is that fighting between the
Turkish troops and the insurgents
continues near Krushevo. According
to some advices no less than eight
hundred Musselmans have been mas
sacred by the insurgents, whose move
ments are gaining ground. The Turk
ish troops are hampered by the in
efficiency of the commissariat and the
tactics of the government.
