China Lore For Amateurs.

OnIn8 kORe OF Anatcukbs
 The amateur china collector is often confused by the terms hard paste" and soft paste" The Ladies' World explains them thus: The paste is the clay of which the article is made.
 Hard paste is made of natural clays. and when broken shows bright and sparkling. In hard paste articles the rim on which they rest is left without a glaze. which Is an easy method of distinguishing them. These hard paste porcelains were made at Plymouth. Bristol and Liverpool. Oriental china is also hard paste.
 Soft paste is more porous and dull, very often creamy in tint. Soft paste wares were made in many places in England, such as Bow, Chelsea, Worces- ter. Derby, Staffordshire, etc.
 The glaze must be distinguished from the paste. It is the giassy cover ing of the paste. It may be hard or soft. the hard paste feeling cold and glassy to the touch, the soft paste rather soft and gummy.

 JOKE.
Watch Stolen Sunday Night From Vail Residence Was Hung on Meth odist Church poor-knob Early Yes terday Mornins-Owner Glad That Article Was Returned.

One of the strangest things that has taken place in Bisbee for many a day occurred early yesterday morning. The incident has a connection with the rcb- bery committed on Sunday night at the Vail residence. which is locate: near the Methodist church. The ac- count of the depreciation was publish ed in full anG exclusively by the Re view on Tuesday, and related how Mrs. Vail's watch, a six-shooter. about s25 in money and a number of other valuables disappeared from the home.
 The strange part of the story is the fact that yesterday morning Mrs. Smith, wife of Rev. Smith, pastor of the NJ. E. church, discovered the watch 6aintily wrapped is a neat paper at tached to the front door of the edi- fee Evidently the thief, who had entered the Vail home on Sunday ev- ening, is either superstitious or is in tent on playing a rather high-handed and dangerous joke. If the latter sup position is correct it is probable that one of these mornings the stolen mon ey will be found on some other church door-knob, while it is not impossible tha. the thief, or joker. will fasten the big six-shooter to the entrance CT the police station.
 At any rate Mrs. Vail is quite hap py on account of having recovered her time-pice. which she felt very sorry to part with, and does not feel nearly SD bitterly toward the fellow or fel- lows. thief or thieves. who entered her home uninvited. as she did on Monday morning when :he discovery Of the theft was first made.

CHRISTMAS TRADE
GENERALLY GOOD
Business Done Far Exceeded
the Expectations of Many
Dealers
PURCHASES WERE MADE At HOME

The business done by local merchants
during the Christmas holidays far ex-
ceeded all expectations. This was the
general expression Of merchants inter
viewed today by a reporter of The
Evening Journal. A number of prom
inent business men We're seen and in
every instance they expressed them
selves as being we'll pleased with this
years returns.
One department store manager said
that the present years trade exceeded
the firms expectations. He thought
this was due to the inciement weather,
which kept the people Of Wilmington
at home to do their shopping instead OF
going to Philadelphia. Another mer-
chant said that he did the most busi-
ness In the early part of the week, but
complained of trade during the few
days just before Christmas. I'm the
aggregate. however" said this mer-
chant, 1--WE did considerably better than
last year."
There was a story current among up
town merchants that business below
Fourth street was bad and that the
dealers In that section of Market
street were complaining. There appears
to have been no truth in the rumOr as
downtown merchants Were as enthus-
iastic as those further up Market street
with respect to the business done by
them. Everybody seemed to have
money and spent Il at home instead OF
going out of the city to make their
purchases.

DEATH LEAP OF
A YOUNG WOMAN
Jumped From Third Story of
a Lodging House in
New York
SHE CAME FROM LANCASTER, PA,

New YORK, Dec. 2s.--A suit case,
bearing the stenciled mark "Lancas
ler, Pa" led to the identity of
the young woman who jumped to death
from a third-story window of a lodg-
ing house in West 46th street. She had
been at the house only a few hours
before her death, and nothing was
known about her beyond the fact that
she said her name was Cecil Hall.
When the police searched her room
after they had taken possession Of the
house on suspicion that some of the oc-
cupants might be able TO explain the
girls act, they found the marked suit
case.
A pawn ticket found among the ar
ticles in the suit case was for valu-
able gold watch, which had been
pledged with a pawnbroken near 125th
street. The watch, which was valued
at about $3.50, had a diamond crescent
on one side and on the other the ini-
tials &C. S. NJ" Il was pawned by a
stylishly dressed young woman, who
gave the name of Miss Hall, the pawn
broker said.
II has been learned that the suicide
had lived some time at a hotel at
Eighth avenue and 126th street. She
went there with young man, and the
couple registered under the name of
Mr. and Mrs. Hall.
