were copied many times over by the
china decorators.
The painted and modelled butterflies,
which occur so frequently, were worn
as dress ornaments in the eighteenth
century. Madame la Marquise de Gre

Marquise de FrOulay as being attired
in velvet dress, fastened up in a spe-

often decorated with views of the roy
al palaces, are fairly common; so are,
also, the bookcases, which are often
eXquisitely painted.
Among the pieces which the collce-
tor is most likely to meet with are tea
pots decorated with flowers. chocolate
pots with floral ornamentation; and a
bird in high relief on the lid; trays
with sprays of flowers; jugs with Wat
teauesque groups; vases with figures
In formal gardens, the handles being
formed of Cupids; cups and saucers
(some painted with golden tulips; and
the like. After 1774 the styles and
forms of the preceding period were
abandoned, classical motifs and shapes
replacing them. The vases lost their
graceful flowing outlines and now be-
came severe, with square plinths,
wreaths of laurel being the favorite
decorative design. Both vases and
teacups have angular handles.
The Dresden candelabra and clock
cases are usually artistic both in their
modelling and IN the delicate coloring
of the ornamentation. A fine speci-
men of the former represents the god
dess Night seated upon a pli3th, and
supporting branches for five candles:
round the pedestal are armorial shields
and Cupids. A beautiful clock-case is
in the shape of temple surmounted
by dome, and topped by two female
figures. The sides are decorated with
tiny Chinese landscapes and groups. It
is dated 1927. Tea and coffee services
ornamented with figures, pastoral sub
jects and nymphs after Vatican are of
frequent occurrence.

much method. They consisted of MAX
ing various pastes, which, being baked
in the oven, failed to produce true
porcelain, but the secret was not dis
covered until ITO. The means by
which it came to light was. we think,
one of the most curious incidents in
the history of invention. We are told
that Botticher's valet purchased a new
hair powder in Dresden, and promptly
dressed his masters wig with it. The
chemist soon noticed that his peruke
was heavier than usual, and added a
sample of the powder to one of his
mixtures. Calling his valet, Botticher
was informed that the heavy hair pow
der was discovered by an ironmaster
named Schnorr, who observed a pecu-
liar clay adhering to his horses hoofs
when riding one day near Aue. A few
hours investigation led to the discov-
cry that the powder was made from
the one clay that is capable of produc-
ing hard paste porceiain-we refer to
what is known as "kaolin." The re-
suit was the production of true porce-
lain.
The elector mOnOpOliZed the diScOv-
cry, and attempted to keep it close
secret The mineral was placed in
sealed casks by dumb men, and con-
veyed to Meissen, where the king es-
tablished a great porcelain manufac-
tory. The works were carried on in
the strongly fortified castle of AL
brechtsburg. where the workmen were
practically prisoners. Everywhere on
the walls was posted the notice, Sc
crecy to the Grave This rule was en-
forced at Meissen down to 1872 Stone
walls and severe penalties, however,
could rot prevent the secret from be-
ing revealed; it is recorded that in
171S a Meissen china worker was bribed
to break his oath and divulge the
method of manufacture to the director
of the Vienna china works, whence
the art spread far and wide.
The king himself when he visited his

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble is caused by an unex-
pected thing, and can be corrected. if
taken in time and properly treated.
A man in Colorado writes:
Il was a great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware of
the injurious effects of tie habit till
/ became practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and a
nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
Il continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-health, till, on apply
ing for life insurance, / was rejected
on account of the trouble with my
heart. Then l became alarmed.
found that leaving off coffee helped me
quickly, so l quit it altogether, and
having been attracted by the advertise
ments of Postum Food Coffee, began
its use.
The change in my condition was
remarkable, and it was not long till

ments vanished. My digestion was
completely restored, my nervousness
disappeared, and, most important Of
all, my heart steadied down and be-

HISTORICAL BITS.

Cromwell is said to have originated
the board OF trade idea.
Wire drawing was invented r.
Rudolph of Nuremburg in the early
part of the fifteenth century. Wire
was first made in England in 1863.
Bombs, it is said, were first thrown
March "a, 1880, on the town of Wach-

torian Hone says the invention is
commonly attributed to Gaalen, bishop
OF Muenster."
In 1892, in England, butchers were
compelled by law to sell their beef for
a half penny pound and mutton for
three farthings. The butchers of
London sold penny pieces of beef for
the relief of the poor, every piece two
pounds and a half, sometimes three
pounds for a penny.

WHAT TODOIF cONSTIPATED
summer-Bowel and Stomach Trouble


@. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.
q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure Of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and poiscns the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel
trouble at the present time.
q. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call of
Nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Ex-
cessive brain work. Mental emotion and
improper diet
@. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheuma-
tism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kid
ney, lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t is
digestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss of
sleep and strength are its symptoms
piles, appendicitis, and fstula, are caused
by Constipation. Its consequences are
known to all physicians, but few suf-
terers realize their condition until it is
too late. Women become confirmed in
valds as a result of Constipation.
e. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is "are you constipated" That
is the secret.
@. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, in
Jectlons, etc, every one OF which is in
furious. They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own ex-
perience.
@. What then should be done to cure
it?
A. Use the free coupon below at oncc.
Mulls Grape Tonic will positively cure
Constipation and in the shortest space of
time. No other remedy has before been

A. lt is a Grape Compound that exerts
peculiar healing influence upon the in
testines, strengthening the muscles of the
alimentary canal SO that they can do their
work unaided. The process is gradual but
sure. 1t is not a physic. It is unlike any

trouble. Having rich, fruity grape flavor,

NOT CENSUS QUESTIONS.

Were you ever happy, and who was
to blame?
Are you black or white, and how do
you account for it?
Do you eat patented breakfast foods
or just plain sawdust?
Do you think that the high price of
eggs is due to the foul-strike?
Did you ever hear a theater Joke.
and what did you take to remove the
effects?
What is your age. and how many
years is it since you celebrated that
birthday?
Did you ever love your wife SO
much that you would like to eat her,
and are you sorry that you have not
done so?
