Though it is difficult to say where the
decorative value Of pottery and of
china began to be appreciated, there
is little doubt that it originated in the
east. Ancient Chinese drawings still
in existence show that the process of
manufacture has varied but little in the
course of the years and that many con-
trivances claimed as modern European
inventions have been known for cen
turtles in the east
In Chinese official annals. which are
said to be perfectly authentic, the in
vention of porcelain is dated at about
200 years before the Christian era,
although Father Entrecolles, resid-
ing in China at the commencement of
the seventeenth century, dates it long
before this, and tells us in a most inter
esting manner of the great porcelain
works of King re Ching, one of the
most ancient and celebrated Of the Chi
neSe factories. He says that in his
time there were no fewer than 5000
ovens at work, which gave to the town
at night the appearance of one vast fur
mace with innumerable chimneys.

Some Missouri Names.

The people have given singular and
amusing names to many neighborhoods
in Missouri, says the Kansas City Star.
In Caldwell county are Zion, Lick fork
and Polo. Echo Dell, Gabtown and
Dawson City are in Worth county. In
Nodaway county are Toad Hollow
Sunrise and Postum Walk, and in
Henry county is Coal. Pigeon Creek
and Centennial are in Atchison county;
River Dots, Splawn Ridge and Civil
Bend in Daviess county; Sleepy Hollow
and Ivy Hill in Sullivan county, and
Esrom Echoes in Butler county. These
are just few names picked at random
from the country correspondence of the
county seat press. Sometimes pretty
or suggestive name is given neighbor-
hood, but generally the aim of the
christener seems to have been to confer
the harshest or most amusing appella-
ton he could think of. - -

The cobra of the Cape fascinates
birds by coiling itself on a branch,
erecting it's head and swinging to and
fro. Sundowner states that. the snake
will go on Fascinating and keeping
the bird twittering and unable to leave
the tree in which it is "for hours" and
that if the bird is driven away it comes
back. This may be yarn but from
the curious fascination which nOnter-
rifying objects, such as lark glitters,"
have for some birds and their apparent
inability to resist lowering around the
lure the far greater mesmerizing power
of the serpent may be conjectured.
Movement more or less regular, is al
ways part of the means of fascination
employed by snakes. Their fondness
for music of any kind is not extended
to the sound of the human voice sing

ciate at ALL They only care for Gin

concertina, tomtom and Jews harp.
But from experiments made in this
country it was evident that they like
the bagpipes best.-Spectator
