Saxony himself assumed the direction
of the fabric, which ha controlled per-
sonally until his decease in 1873.
Count B1anl was appointed to succeed
to this Office by the new elector, Au-
gustus III.
During the Seven Years war (1756-
63), Frederick the Great took Dresden,
selling huge quantities Of fine porce-
lain which he found stored in the roy
al warehouses at Dresden and Meisgen.
The Prussian king, with the keen eye
to business which has ever distin-
guished the Hohenzollerns, carried
away all the best workmen. the mod
els and molds, and all the Aue clay he
could Icy hands on, to Berlin. From
the period of this robbery the Berlin
china factory dates the origin Of its
success. Peace beifg restored (1764),
the mandatory was reestablished un-
der the direction Of Countess Bruhl
and a special commission.
1t is recorded that when Frederick
the Great approached Dresden IN 1745
the so-called porcelain king (Augus-
tus) fed with his best china and pic
lures, leaving the restsof his valuables
and the archives to The tender mercies
Of the Prussians. An interesting con-
temporary side-light on the history OF
this factory is contained IN lestsE

with reference to the celebrated Japan
palace at Dresden, where an almost
complete series OF Meissen china Is
preserved This collection is extreme
ly interesting, as showing the art
from its first infancy to its ultimate
perfection. In the room called Bot
ticher's room there are specimens of
the ancient porcelain executed pre-
viously to 1853, made of the clay found
at Meissen, red without glaze; the red
polished by lapidaries; the red glaseda

with an immense collection of white
porcelain figures of saints and apos-
ties This concise resume will give
the reader an excellent idea of tha
varied nature of the china produced al

Hats of black and white few years
the milliners will repeat those sue
cesses the coming season.
Last year broadcloth was the ma
terial Of the winter; henrietta may
take its place this yei--, and very ac-
commodating material this is; drapes
so easily. 1t will be especially good in
the black and white combination.
The pleated skirt has been done to
death, and we are glad the circular
skirt is pushing it to the wall The
latter is graceful and, when well made,
hangs very prettily. Two styles OF
circular skirt are shown; the two-piece
one with a seam in the back and an.
other in the middle of the front, and
the skirt circular on the sides with a
front gore. We notice a few good
summer dresses made with the triple
flounce, but these are becoming only
to tall women.
Sleeves for fall will be, for tailored
suits, on the leg-of-mutton or the coat
sleeve order. For afternoons we are
rierS are to display before so very long
deep fur cuffs to wear with the short
sleeve when cold days are upon us. a
return to the wristlets worn by our
grandmothers. For evening wear, ball
room occasions, the sleeve may be but
a mere strap. We doubt if there is
much change from the sleeve fashions
obtaining last year.
For wear with thin dresses the un-
derslip is necessity, and now batiste
is. the material preferred to silk for
these garments on which depend much
of the set of the outer dress. An eff
fective costume for woman with gray
hair is black swiss dotted with white
and worn over a slip of violet batiste.
And, by the way, black swiss dotted
with white makes up very charmingly,
and is not so commonly used as to be
over-popular. With such dress vel
vet ribbon, either white or black,
would be pretty to use for belt and
with the stock Velvet ribbons will be
much seen the coming season. We are
glad to chronicle the return OF this
pretty trimming.

pretty and summary, and come in a
variety Of shapes, one surely can find
a becoming style. They add to the de-
sired simplicity, perhaps, more than
the lingerie hat. For afternoon wear,
the latter is very attractive, and one
can buy pattern and at home easily
copy those sold at the milliners at a
fancy price. They are trimmed with a
little ribbon, are never fussy
A plain bolero can be transformed
into a. dressy affair by edging sleeves,
collar and bottom of coat with narrow
double frills of lace. These come ready
made, and though not very fine, they are
effective and not cost much. OF course
the frills can be made by oneself of fine
material at less than the stores charge;
but it takes time, and time seems the
most precious thing in these days Of
strenuous living, of days surely not so
long as they used to be. The little linen
boleros need not be trimmed at all, un-
less with fiat white braid or straps Of

Woman Takes Pleasure in a

Kansas City.-While hundreds OF
travellers were moving around in the
Union depot suffering from the heat
the other day, there was one woman,
SO years old, who seemed to enjoy her
stay.
She was Mrs. Nancy bubble, whose
home is near Bentonville, Ark. She
moved over near north side window,
produced tobacco pouch, and filed
an old clay pipe. Lighting 1t, she leaned
back comfortably In her seat in the
women's waiting room and seemed to
forget her surroundings. A passenga
director made her go to the smoking

The smart coat of the day is the
white French serge that reaches to the
hem of the gown. It may be in dead
white or in cream. Serge is the thing.
1t is not bad economy to indulge in
one of these wraps, for they are most
charming for summer, and really could
be made to do good service for the
evening wrap in winter, changed bit
by the addition of heavy cord and lace.
They clean beautifully.
They are made semi-fitting and 'dou-
ble-breasted, lined with China silk,
and some have big pockets, some a
strap or two at the back They look
suitable for outing wear; they may
be worn any time Of the day or
evening.

be all white or have touch of color
in cuffs and collar. Colored velvet
collars and cuffs are pretty on the
serge coats, fashioned on the box or
der, and we have in mind pretty one,
creamy in tone, with green velvet to
set it off. This will be exceptionally
pretty in the early days of fall, when
green, for some reason or other is apt
to be SO pleasing.
Black silk coats, OF supple faille and

coat that can be worn with SO many
skirts, and there is strong tendency
towards the purchase of the separate
skirt nowadays. The black wrap looks
well with black and white check
skirt with one of black silk, with sum-
merry dresses. Some colored silk wraps
are seen, one of very good style was
noticed, faille coat worn with a Hen
rietta skirt of electric blue, the latter
a shade darker than the coat.
Black and white promises to be a
fashion this year affected by those who
hold themselves exclusive, and in one
costume will be seen the different de-
grees of black given by wool, silk and
velvet. The white touch employed
will be the sparing use of rare lace.

Successful Lion-Breeding in Dublin

Successful Lion Breeding in Dublin.
Few, if any, menageries in the world
can show more remarkable record of
lion-rearing than that of the Dublin
zoo. From the old lion-house, which
was recently replaced by a magnifi-
cent building to which Lord Roberts
has given his name, lions bred within
its walls have been consigned to al
most every quarter of the globe. Up
wards of 200 cubs saw the light in
the old lion-house. and sum of near
ly $4,000 resulted from their sale to
other menageries, both at home and
abroad. One lioness, whose career in
the gardens extended over a period OF
rs years. gave birth in her time to
no fewer than SIS cubs, which realized
the sum of G1,400.

A number one peach to follow the
Beers Smock in ripening has long been
sought by the peach growers in general,
but especially so in this section.
A. u. Craven has the peach. 1t is
Seeding of Crawford type; at least 1t re-
sembes the Crawford family in so many
respects we are led to class it in that
family.
Ii is vigorous grower The character
of the wood indicates it will be hardy
The foliage is luxuriant. The leaves are
dark green. and are from five TO eight
inches long and handsomely curved; they
are regularly, though not deeply, cerated.
The glands are semiform and OF medium
size. The buds are medium in size, with
a single bud at leaf as the general rule,
rather than double and triple buds so
common with the Crawford and Elberta.
The peach has many good qualities be-
side the time of ripening, which IS OF
great importance, as it Immediately fol-
lows the Beers Smock or from October
/ to 10.
1t may well be classed among the large
peaches. From one limb six peaches
gave the following circumferences. 90,
go, 81, 90, 919 and l01a inches. The
smallest peach on the tree measured six
inches.
The peach externally is slightly lighter
yellow than the early Crawford, but bet
ter checked and better tinted with red
throughout than the Crawford.
It's pit is comparatively small; is firm,
perfectly free and has pink tint. The
flesh of this peach is light orange yellow,
thick, firm, and ripens on both sides
evenly. Its texture is medium to coarse,
fairly juicy and of good favor. No va
riety can make a handsomer package.
Its owner expects TO propagate it further.

Dear Sir: 1t costs as much to put.on
poor paint as GOOD "a common saying
and true costs much more to put-on
poor paint more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes or paint
aud sand or paint and lime or paint and
chalk or paint and benzine or paint and
water these are the usual cheats;
there are others.
II takes more gallons of paint-and a
cheat than of honest paint; and the cost
of the labor of painting is so much as
another, for labor.
This is the way to reckon your costs
for this year; but how about next year?
Paint Devoe, and next year costs moth
thing; year after next the same; the
same for several years.
Paint anything else, and your costs
recur according to what you paint with.
Some of the mixtures wear one year;
some two; some three.
1t costs twice, three times. four times
five times, as much to paint with cheat
as TO paint with Devoe.

CIDER P0mace JeHy.

AT a cider mill in my neighborhood,
after the days work of cider making was
over, my boy and took charge OF the
mill and worked over the pomace made
during the day We shoveled enough
for one pressing into a vat of suitable di-
mansions near the press and poured II to
10 pals OF warm water over it. After
soaking for half an hour we shoveled it
into the press and pressed it in the usual
way. The juice derived from the press
ing ran into vat fitted with coil of
steam pipe. Into this we turned the
steam, which boiled the juice to jelly.
We made from 40 70 30 gallons a night.
This jelly, which we sold to grocers,
bakers and private families at 70 cents a
gallon, may be used for anything that
boiled cider is used for, such as mince
pies and apple butter. After sweeten-
ing, it makes good apple Jelly for table
use and, by adding flavor, a good sub
titute for currant or other jellies.

and extracted lily enough to pay for the
