THURINGEN POTTERY.

Story of the Beginnings of an 1mpor-
 tant German Industry.
 Last years interesting exhibition of old Thuringen porcelain, which, as all lovers of ceramic treasures will remem- tber, was held in Leipsic, has had the eff feet of stimulating the collectors &C., quisitiveness with respect to this par. ticular kind of china, which, of course, has a very different value from the bulk of the modern ware upon the pro- duction of which the Thuringen facto- ries now largely depend. It is local industry that from tentative beginnings has now biossomed into one of great mercantile importance, both as to the home trade and that done over seas, for, indeed, the bulk of modern Thurin gen is now specially manufactured for export, enormous quantities being an- nually destined for America.
 A certain romance attaches to the first factory set up amid this inland forest range. A kind of semi-porcelain appears to have been made about 1750 at Gera in this district, and it was not until ten years later that one George Heinrich Macheleid discovered the right kind of earth for the manufacture of true orcelain. Macheieid was a stu dent of theology. His father, however, was an herbalist and dealer in sim ples' circumstance which very prob- ably gave the son leaning toward ex- perimental work. Little, in fact, is known to the mans earlier life, but he is reported to have tired of theology" by the time he had preached his nine- ty-ninth sermon," and without even troubling to ''round off the century, young Macheleid went back to the work that had so absorbing fascination for him-the mixing of various earths and substances in the hopes of ultimately producing a clay which should, when ! baked, prove to be porcelain.
 His home was at Sitzendorf, near Rudlostadt, in the lovely Schwarzburg district, and here he ersevered dogged- | ly in his work, without, however, the slightest result, until one day when A. countrywoman happened to bring him a small quantity of fine sand such as
 
 writing to dry. the ink. This young Macheleid made use of for his favorite experiment. and found to his joy that the right ingredient had at last been come by but the quantity was so small as to be quite insufficient for any prac- tical purpose, while the woman had been a total stranger to that country- side, and he had omitted to inquire where the precious find had come from ! In desperation Macheleid tramped the hills and valleys far and wide coming. when starved and faint, with hope well nigh deserting him, upon a cleft in a hillside, not far from the romantic Konigsee. where this sand-the one thing wanting to crown his efforts with ! success-was revealed in abundance. I Such is the little history, still told in 1 the district. of how Macheleid, the erstwhile theologian, turned manufac- | turer, for the concession to erect work shops in the neigaboring village of

Volkstedt was granted him by the then reigning Prince, while a second factory was later erected by Prince Friedrich Wilhelm at Hildberghausen. Gotthelf Greiner followed suit with the Wallen- dorf factory. and may likewise be reck- Oned one of the earliest porcelain man. ufacturers in the Thuringlan district a boldly scrawled "W'' being the mark by which to recognize this old ware.
 Among the places now famous for the brisk trade done in ''half-china" are Blankenhain. Limbach. Rauen- stein, Possneck, Gotha, Eisenberg, and a few of minor importance in addition to the first three already mentioned and the idyllic surroundings of the for est factories should make it well worth the tourists while to step aside from the better known pleasure resorts to take cognizance of these busy hives, as full of interest for the amateur as for the business man. There are indeed no less than one hundred and twelve china factories now extant amid the pine woods of Thuringla, many of which have sprung up and become flourishing concerns within the last fifty years only, while the value of their annual product is now estimated at s1,257.137 marks, of whichquite 33,634 900 marks, worth represents the export trade, des- tined for Denmark, Holland, switzer- land. the States and this country.
 For many years these hardy Thurin- gians were a thorn in the flesh to the manufacturers of Melssen in neighbor- ing Saxony, the latter complaining and with some reason, too-of the use made of their trademarks upon inferior ware, and this matter was, we believe, finally adjusted by the Leipsic author- ities toward the end of the eighteenth century, and with rather high hand, too, for the Thuringen ware was "con- f1scated'' without more ado at the great annual fair. This lesson, however, had salutary effect, nd in future Thur ingen', was no longer palmed off as real Meissener." Not but what much good work is done in the woodland fac tories, such as may we'll enable it to stand onfts own merits. the hand made porcelain Caught at special school of art, where the artists are prepared for the Wallendorf and Lichte factories is often of great excellence, modelling be- ing also a branch of study to which close attention is given. Holy images and copies of the antique are here largely dealt with. So much for the work done nowadays, but the "Old Thuringen," beloved of the connoisseur, possesses 8 quainter individuality of its own.-Pall Mall Gazette.

MAJoR=GENERAL cosTETTI,

It is not often that romance and work are so intimately blended as in he long professional career of this eminent army surgeon. Born in Bo- logna in 1S19, he had, with his family, to migrate to Florence in 1S31-the year in which many of the Bolognesi, the Costettis included, were compromised in the abortive revolution. At Flor ence he began his medical studies and took his degree, summa cum laude, at Pisa. In 184S, another year of revohl- tion-he served in the Guard Mobile of Tuscany under the Marchese Niccolino Antinori and saw some sharp fighting at Montanara. We next find him an army surgeon in the Tuscan forces, espousing the Liberal cause and at tending the meetings of the party in Florentine Casa Bartolommel. It was he, on the the historical 25 tn of April, gave Clandestine shelter in his quart CTS in the fortress Belvedere to the Marchese Ferdinando Bartolommel, who wanted to know how far he could count upon the cooperation of the off, ficers in the pacific revolution, two days afterward successfully consun1- mated. On the eventful morning the Tuscan arehduke proceeded from the Pitia Palace to the fortezza, thence to give orders to Lombard the city, but only to receive from the officers the re- ply that while ready to protect the lives of their princes, they could not serve the antinational cause. While the purparlers were in progress young Costetti ordered some green curtains to be taken down from the windows of the hospital in the fortezza and adding to them the Tuscan colors, red and white, he hoisted the improvised "tri- color," on the terrace of the fortezza before the eyes of the grand duchess who, needless panic, had taken refuge in the stronghold. It was that bannar which announced to the people, as sen1bled not many yards oc in the Plaz- ga delP Independence, that the Tuscan revolution, peaceful and bloodless, was a fait aceompn.
 Dr. Costetti, continuing his career as an army surgeon, with the rank of captain, took part in the campaign against Austria in 1S59 Promoted again for distinguished services in 1862, he rose to be major-general and was appointed director -in-chief of the great military hospitals of now united Kingdom. Of late years advancing age has constrained him to give up professional work, but he still placed his powers and energies at the disposal \ of his fellow citizens of Bologna,- London Lancet. A.

WHY WE ARE THIRSTY.
The sensation of thirst is caused

The sensation of thirst is caused by a lack of fluids in the system. In a state of health it indicates that the body wants moisture. We should dis tinguish natural thirst from that caused by stimulating food and bever- ages, which produce q fever in the or gans of digestion, Thirst is caused by a failure of the saliyary and other glands to secrete a proper amount of fluid for use in the stomach. It is pos sible to quench thirst not only by the ordinary means, but through the blood vessels and the skin. Much of the water is drunk out through the skin by means of the blood vessels and is known as unconscious precipitation. It lis a well known fact that the loss of blood is always followed by intense thirst. This. thirst is one of the most narrowing features of . battlefield, as every old soldier knows. The reason for it is that the blood vessels being drained of. their moisture, the skin be- comes pafched and every pore is changed into a thirsty mouth Thirst accompanies levers, but it's causes
 
 are local, being due to dryness in the throat and mouth, the result of a high temperature.
 A QUAINT OLD CEREMONY, This is one of many quaint cere- monies that take place at the Church of St. GiIdas, in Brittany, on the feast day of the patron saint. Two or three thousand peasants Oh horseback ride in procession three times round the church and then proceed to draw water from the sacred well close by and pour it over their animals in the belief that it will act as a sure preventive of ac- cidents and disease.
 Meanwhile the women inside the church are engaged in standing in a stone sarcophagus supposed to have contained the body of the saint. This is looked uon as q certain cure for toothache. But the most important of all the ceremonies is the throwing of a fowl from the tower of the church to the people below. It is torn to pieces in an instant, and the man who is for tunate enough to secure the head is looked upon as a champion, while his parish is regarded as sure to secure the best harvest. %,

 CAPER AND INTELLIGENCE OF
 THE CROW. By this title to an article in a re- cent issue by Charles Hallock, I am reminded of many of the doings of tome crows that I have known. I wonder how many know that by getting young crow, before 1t is able to fly, and by patience and persever- ance for few days, or perhaps weeks, it can be taught to talk, and after the first few words that it learns to pro- nounce 1t learns much faster than any child that I ever knew or heard of. Among wild crows I never have seen one that talked. so cannot say wheth- CT talking would frighten crows or not, but I presume it would. I wish that a pair of talking crows could be mated, and raise brood to see whether they would teach their young to use human speech.
 I have seen things that astonished me as that would. I have seen a pet duck raise brood of chickens, and be- fore they were two weeks old she had them we'll versed in duck language, and had taught them to swim. The reason that I have for believing that they

NEW YORK, June 10.-The sudden

affairs of the society were accepted as
a promise that the violent phases at
least of the trouble have passed and
that the uneasy attention which mas
been attracted throughout the financial
world will now lose its absorption and
its effect. on sentiment. The encourage
! ment felt was substantially manifested
in the large buying orders at the open
ing of the market. Some blocks OF i'm
portant stocks were taken at sub
stantial advance in price over last
night. There was some profit taking,
but the advance was strongly resumed
after the appearance of the bank state
ment. The large loan contraction was
attributed to the preparation for the re-
distribution of the Japanese loan de-
posits. Operators were inclined also to
anticipate a favorable Government crop
report, to be given out later in the day,
and which might help the market on
Monday. The market closed strong and
active, with prices up from one to over
three points on the day.

These defenses are Fort Monroe at
Old Point Comfort. which with its range
of searchlights and shells sweeps the en-
trance to the Chesapeake from Cape
Charles to Cape Henry; Forts Washing
ton and Hunt, guarding the Potomac
River and the immediate approaches to
the national capital, and Forts McHenry
and Howard. defending Baltimore. All
of them are manned and equipped to
their full capacity. In all fifty-one COM
.panies of coast artillery, nearly half OF
this branch Of the army, are on guard.
Lieutenant General Wade, u. 8. A.
commanding the Department Of the At
lantic, commands the defense. He ar
rived at Fort Monroe to-day from Gov

are artillery practice in daylight. the
ships constituting the targets Of the
forts; practice with the searchlights at
night and the operation Of the nina
fields, in which the navy will endeavor to
locate and destroy the mines. When the
