Countrihed.

Do they call you "countrified"?
Let 1t be your joy and pride,
You. who love the birds and bees.
And the whispers of the trees!
Trust me, friend of flowers and grass,
Little brown faced lad and lass.
Naught in all the world beside
Equals being ''countrihed."
Up OF mornings when the light
Reddens on the mountain height:
Hearing how the bird threats swell
With the joy they cannot tell:
Conscious that the morning sings
Like a harp with unseen strings,
Over which the breezes glide;
This is being "countrified"
Roaming far, on summer days,
Or when the a. tumn woodlands blaze,
Learning how TO catch and tell
Natures precious secrets well;
Filled with sunshine, heart and face
Or where branches interlace
Dappled like the shy trout's side:
This is being "countrified"
What though little fit to pose
In the citys ways and clothes?
There Is vastly more to love
In the brown Of natures glove.
Health and happiness and tan
Are best fashions for a man.
All who near to God abide
Are. in some way "countrihed"

NOVEL BITS OF CHINA.
Fad Has Brought Out a Great Number
of Novelties.

The fad for quaint and curious CHI
navarro has brought out any number
OF novelties along this line. Each of
the large shops features in its display
this fall exclusive importations in odd
or antique design. The majority of
these pieces are intended for decor
atlve purposes only, but some, includ.
ing fascinating tea services, are suited
for occasional use upon the table.
In Royal Doulton are seen pitchers
and vases in extremely weird effects
These are tall and slender in shape
and are colored deep, highly glazed
brown. On one side of each is a mys-
terious figure done in dull reds, yell
lows and black. A lean Pied Piper
stalks on one, rats scamper about his
heels and stormy sky Is suggested
In the background. On another
witch in pointed hat crosses over
tiny black cauldron set in the fore
ground. From the pot thin line of
steam arises to curl in halo form
about her head. A third design shows
gypsy figure.
ANOStl led sets IN hOyal DOultOl are
circled with galloping huntsmen, done
in gay colors. Others are decorated
with men and women dressed in the
picturesque costumes of the days of
George w.
From Finland comes a most strik-
ing ware patterned after the Arabian
potteries. The pieces are cream color.
IN odd geometric shapes, with orna-
mental bands of geometric design,
done in vivid reds, yellows, blues and
green's.
Old English Trentham ware is an
effective revival of the year. Pieces
of all sizes, from candlesticks to UNI
brella stands, may be had in this.
Gayly colored fruits and flowers form
the decorations on some pieces, while
others show bees swarming to a hive
or very black cocks with very red
combs.
In Dresden china the old-fashioned
fruit baskets, in openwork ornament
ed with large floral and fruit designs,
have been revived this fall
