Satisfied His Curiosity.

The curiosity of the natives of wild
countries as to everything belonging -
the traveller often leads to amusing sit
uations. Mr. j. W. Wells tells in Three
Thousand Miles Through Brazil of his
visit to one settlement where the only
shopkeeper of the place proved very
inauisitive He was Il frequent visitor
aud would carefully examine the few
belongings of the traveller. His curios
;ty was finally punished in a very fun
ny manner.
On one of his visits, writes Mr. Wells,
he found my bottle of spirits OF ammo
mia on the table. and. SEEING it was
something he had not hitherto il ect-
ed, he naturally laid hold of it and
asked of me- What is this"
"Only a medicine" | replied. and
with perhaps unworthy satisfaction

After Dinner Oratory.

The fake humorous speaker has an
easier career than even the fake elo
1uent speaker. Yet at any given din
ner the orator who passes out mere elo-
cution to his hearers has a success al
most as instant and splendid as his
clowning brother. 1t is amazing what
things people will applaud when they
have the courage Of each others inepti-
tude. They will listen after dinner to
anything but reason. They prefer also
the old speaker to new ones; they like
the familiar taps of humor, Of elo-
quence. II they have tasted the brew
before. they know what they are going
TO get. The note Of their mood is toler
ance. but tolerance Of the accustomed.
the expected: not tolerance Of the
novel, the surprising. They wish to be
at rest. and what taxes their minds mo-
Tests their intellectual repose. They do
not wish TO climb any great heights to
reach the level of the orator.-W. D.
Howells in Harper's.

WHEN STARCH WAS NEW.
It Used to BE Made In ColOrs So a. to
Tint the Fabric.

II Used to BE Made In COlOrs So as To
Tint the Fabric.
"a package Of starch?' asked the In.
telligent and learned grocer, and as he
wrapped the package up he talked.
Starch originated he said, I'm
Flanders. 1t was introduced into Eng
land, with the big ruff, in the time of
Queen Elizabeth. 1t was like our starch
Of today, except that it was made in
eoiors-red. yellow, green, blue. The
effect of this was to tint delicately the
white linen to which the starch might
be applied.
Before Queen Elizabeth's time ruff
aes and rUffs were made of fine hol-
land, which required no stiffening.
Then the rufus of cambria came, and
these must of necessity be starched."
The grocer, consulting his aemoran-
dunn book, resumed:
1T is recorded that when the queen
had ruffS made of lawn and -ambric

none in England could tell how to
starch theDs; but the queen made spe-
cial means for some women that could

royal coacllman, was the first starch.

I'm 1864 a Flanders woman, Frau
Van der PiaSse, came to London and
established there a school for the
teaching Of starching. The school Sic

She charged Is lesson and an extra
20 shillings for recipe for the making
Of starch out of wheat -four. bran and
roots.
yellow was the most fashionable
color in starch among the nobility. The
Puritans used blue starch, though at
first they had been against the stuff al
together, clubbing it "a certaine kinde &c
liquide matter which they call starch,
wherein the devil hath willed them to
wash and dive their ruffes, which,
when they be dry, will then stand stiffe
and infieXible about their necks.'
Starch is made from wheat, corn
and potatoes, and starving men have
often subsisted on it, finding it nour-
ishing, though not tasty."-London

A Queer Relic,

In University college. London, is a
singular object. that is preserved care
fully in remote gallery inside a glass
case. which again is contained in
huge wooden cupboard. the doors Of
which are locked and the keys in safe
custody. The relic which is thus so
Eealously guarded is described in some
notes OH the history Of the college as
the skeleton" Of Jeremy Bentham.
"clad in the garments in which he
lived" while his head only is stated to
have been ''mummified." 1t has always
been understood that Bentham's body
was embalmed. and in that case it can
not be his mere skeleton which is re-
posing there under lock and key.

DRESDEN CHINA.

Pirst offered For Sale at the Fair
of Leipsic In 1871.
Dresden china began it's reign at the
fair Of Leipsic, 1921. where it was Of
fered for public sale for the first time.
1t has had three periods-King's, 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 (King's) being the
monogram A. Il. and the wand OF rs
culapius. The familiar crossed swords,
with the dot or circle between the ham
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
the following rough outline may salts
fy the lazily curious: The ingredients
of porcelain are kaolin feldspar, sand
and selenite. These are ground fine and
mixed in limewater. The paste is then

This second firing Is attended with
risk. for If the piece is allowed to re-

Valdez People Want Dis
 tTict Divided
l

The people Of Valdez are seeking to have the third judicial division of Alas ka divided and a fourth district judge appointed for Alaska.
 Alta recent meeting of the chamber Of commerce the following resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, The Third Judicial District of Alaska embraces such an immense area that in the nature of things it is impossible for one judge to cover a suf- fcient portion thereof each year to ad- minister the laws as the people are en- titled to have them administered; and
 Whereas, It is next 60 impossible under present conditions to hold more than one term of court a year in Val dez, and a failure 10 hold more than one term a year amounts practically to a denial of justice to many persons, and in criminal cases necessitates the hold ing of prisoners for nearly a year awaiting trial; and
 Whereas, The business of the court is rapidly increasing, both in the coun- try along the Yukon river and the southerly coast of Alaska, from Kayak and Valdez to Cook inlet, Kodiak, Unga and Unalaska points on the Alaska peninsula; now, therefore, be it
 Resolved by the chamber of com merce of Valdez, Alaska, that it is highly important and necessary that the Third judicial division of Alaska be divided into two judicial divisions, and that one judge be appointed to pre- side over the Yukon division and one judge to preside over the Valdez divi- sion.
