DRESDEN CHINA.

First offered For Sale at the Fair
of Leipsic In 1921.
Dresden china began its reign at the
fair of Leipsic, 1921, where it 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 (Ging'sl being the
monogram A. r. and the wand of 1,s
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.

still jealousy guarded in all factories.

mixed in iimewater. The paste is then
nodded into forms and fired in an oven
of moderate heat. When taken out, il
is in an Opaque state and is then dipped
in the glaze, which is feldspar ground
fine, with a little alkali. 1t is now sub
jected to a firing of great heat, which
results in the beautiful polished sur
face so familiar the world over.
This second firing is attended with
risk, for if the piece is allowed to re-
main beyond the exact proper moment
the whole melts together and is ruined.

A Rats Teeth.

The rat is remarkably we'll equipped
for the peculiar life he is ordained to
lead. He has strong weapons in the
shape of four long and very sharp
teeth-twO in the upper jaw and two
in the lower. These teeth are wedge
shaped and by wonderful provision
Of nature have always a fine, sharp
cutting edge. On examining them care
fully the inner part is found to be of
soft, ivOrylike composition, which can
easily be worn away, and the outside
is composed of a glasslike enamel
which is exceedingly hard
The upper teeth work into the under
so that the centers of the opposed teeth
meet perfectly in the act of gnawing;
hence the soft part is being continually
worn away, while the hard part keeps
hard, chisel-like edge all the time, and
at the same time the teeth are con-
stantly growing up from the bottom. so
that as they wear away a fresh supply
is ready. Should one of these teeth be
removed by accident or otherwise. the
opposing tooth will continue. to grow.
and there being nothing to wear it
away it will project from the mouth
and be turned upon itself. and if it be
an under tooth it will often grow so
long as to penetrate the skull.

WHEN STARCH WAS NEW.
1t Used to Be Made In COIOrs 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, "in
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
cOlOrs-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
ties and ruffs were made of fine hol-
land, which required no stiffening.
Then the ruffs of cambric came, and
these must of necessity be starched"
The grocer, consulting his memoran-
dunn book, resumed:
1T is recorded that when the queen
had ruffs made of lawn and cambric
for her own princely wearing there was
none in England could tell how to
starch them; but the queen made spe-
cial means for some women that could
starch, and Mrs. Gullham, wife of the
royal cOachman, was the first starch
err
In 1864 Flanders woman, Frau
Van der Plasse, came to London and
established there a school for the
teaching Of starching. The school sue
ceeded. The Flanders frau got rich.
She charged f5 a lesson and an extra
20 shillings for a recipe for the making
of starch out of wheat -four, bran and
roots
yellow was the most fashionable
color in staDch among the nobility. The
Puritans used blue starch, though at
first they had been against the stuff al
together, clubbing it "a certaine kinde of
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 intlexible 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 sty."-LOndon

Notable Paintings.

Probably the smallest painting ever
made was the work of the wife of
Flemish artist. 1t depicted Il mill with
the sails bent, the miller mounting the
stairs with a sack of grain on his back.
Upon the terrace where the mill stood
was cart and horse, and on the road
leading to it several peasants were
shown. The picture was beautifully
finished, and every object was very dis
tinct, yet it was so amazingly small
that its surface, so the story goes,
could be covered with grain of corn.
In contradistinction to this the lar
gest painting, exclusive of freScOes and
panOramas, is TintOretto's Paradise"
1t is hung in the grand saloon of the
dOges' palace at Venice and is 81 feet
wide and 81 feet high.
Michael Angeles fresco in the Sistine
chapel of the Vatican completely Gov
ers the vaulted roof. which measures
133 feet in length and 43 feet in width.
This painting delineates the creation of
man, his fall and the early history of
the world, with reference to mans
final redemption and salvation.

How a Glass Eye Acts.

A glass eye has never so free a range
Of movement as the real one, and when
the owner turns his eyes strongly in
any direction the glass eye lags behind
the other, so producing a squint Then
the pupil Of the glass eye is of course
of a fixed size. while the natural pupil
dilates and contracts not only with
varying amounts of light, but with
varying emotions. Then again the
white Of the eye varies in tint greatly
from day to day, being slightly blood
shot during headaches and yellow dur
ing bilious attacks. The differences in
color between the two eyes caused by
these changes are even more easily no.
ticed than the differences in the pupils.

CHINESE FESTIVALS.
9ix Curious Feast Days That Usher
In the New Year.


The first day of the Chinese New
Years feasts is called Birds day CKay-
YaO and is supposed to bring to mind
the utility of the feathcred tribes as
food. On this day all orthodox Chinese
abstain from eating flesh, and they
sometimes observe it as a day of fast
ing. The second day is Dogs day (Ku-
Yab. This day is especially held sa-
cred to the canine hosts of the FlOwery
Kingdom. The Chinese, nOtwithStand-
ing the fact that they eat the flesh of
the dog and esteem it 4 great delicacy,
honor their dogs more highly and take
better care of them than any other race
of people. In every large Chinese city
there is workman whose sole trade is
that of making coffins for departed
CANNES.
The third day, Hogs day (Chen-Ya0,
is celebrated in honor of a hog that
once drew valuable manuscript out
of a bonfire of trash. The fourth feast,
Sleeps day YaOng-Yat, is hOnOrcd i'll
memory of Pun KoOn Venga a shep-
herd who clothed himself in leaves,
grass and bark of trees, refusing to
make use of any part of the sheep, eli
ther for food or clothing. The fifth day
is Cows day (New-Ya0. This day is
consecrated to the COW that sucked the
orphan who afterward became rich and
built the celebrated Temple of Cows.
The sixth day is Ma-Yat, or Horse day,
and is set apart to call to mind the use
fulness of that noble animal.

INGENIOUS TORTURES.
CrucIties of Punishment Inflicted on
Offenders IN NIor0ccO.

Offenders IN Morocco.
In Morocco the torture OF offenders,
real and suspected, has been and is
still much practiccd. Much ingenuity
is shown in the infiction of pain-such
devices as the rubbing of red pepper in
to the eyeballs, tying up the wrists at
a height from the ground, etc.
At the death of the late sultan pre-
tender proclaimed himself the rightful
heir to the throne and had a certain
success. When presently overcome by
the legitimate authorities, he was
seized, thrown down, when chillies
were applied to the inside of his mouth
till it swellcd with pain, and he was
desired to shout out his titles and quail
tiles as much as he pleased, being Of
course unable to utter Il word. After
that he was thrown into Jail to rot there
till he died.
A refinement of cruelty is the torture
of the Iron glove as it is called. A
lump of quicklime is placed in a mans
hand, which is closed up into a fist
Then the fist is tightly bound with
