Fame as n Potter,

Mrs. S. S. Frackelton of Chicago is
an artist In the production of pottery
whose wares and fame have reached
over into the old world as well as all
around her own country, Speaking of
her work, Mrs Frackelton said:
II started my pottery with the idea
of showing how one could take the
poorest stuff and bring out the best
in it. I went first to a factory where
they made stoneware-this was in Mil
waukee-and they let me work at jugs.
The first piece that sent to an exposi-
ton was so simple that l wondered if
the judges would accept it, but Mrs.
Candace Wheeler encouraged me to be-
lieve that they would see that l was
trying to make the most of plain COM

Richard Not Himself.

Tom Keene was once playing in a
theater in one of the larger cities,
and, as every one knew then, Keene
used a rubber bag inflated with air
to form hump when playing Rich
ard III. On the night in question
as he stepped forth from the wings
a supe plunged Il penknife into the
bag, and in an instant the air es-
capped. Keene went on the stage as
straight as an Indian. He screwed
his face up in every imaginable
grimace, but without avail, and the
audience gave him the laugh. Final
ly he was on to the trick, and after
substituting a peach basket for
hump he went on with the play, but
the supe did not get out of bed for
nearly a week.

In the hurry of spring work and the
campaign of yard and house cleaning
it is well not to forget the cellar. Be-
ing in u sense out of sight, it is likely
to be overlooked. yet it is safe to say
that next to the water supply the
health of the family in many cases de-
pends upol the degree of sanitation to
be found in the cellar. Numerous cases
of malignant diseases, such as typhoid
fever and diphtheria, are directly trace
able to piles of decaying vegetables to
be found in the cellar or to pools of
stagnant and filthy water In the lat
ter case the only remedy is the putting
in of tile drain. Under no circum-
stances should the cellar be neglected
because it does not occupy an exalted
position in the household economy.

Two Mistakes.

An Irish merchant who had more

low passenger was much annoyed at
Pats presence and, missing his
handkerchief, taxed him with hay

covering his handkerchief, which he
had put in his hat, he made lame
apology, but Pat stopped him with
this remark;
"Make yourself easy, darlint.
Don't bother about the matter. You
took me for thafe. took you for

mistaken, that's all, me honey"

THE HABIT
OF INDUSTRY.

',dtre Is probably no habit that can
be inculcated i'll the boy and girl that
will bring greater return or upon which
in after life they will look back with
greater feeling of thankfulness than
that of industry. 1t is admitted that
the fixing of the habit requires much
patience and thought on the part of the
parents, who often realize that they
can do this or that thing in much less
time than would be required in giving
necessary direction to the boy or girl,
but if pains are taken it will generally
prove effort we'll invested. 1t is sur
prising how early in life the children
can be taught to help in the little things
and even more surprising to note how
willing they usually are to render such
service as may be in their power. So
taught they soon come to realize that
the home circle Is little democracy
in which each one is the recipient of
certain services and faYors, in return
for which he should willingly give
an equivalent In kind so far as lies in
his power. An early placing of the
child on such basis will go far to-
ward eliminating some of the most
perplexing problems involved in his
rearing ard education.

New York, April 1S.-Anthracite op-

trate except the question whether
there shall be any arbitration. This
reply is made in response to President
MitchelPs recent amended proposition
of arbitration. The operators do not,
however, refuse point blank to accept
Mr.. Mitchell's latest plan They assert
that all the differences between the
miners and their employers have been
decided by the strike commission, and
that there is no reason why another
attempt should be made to arbitrata
them. Describing the previous steps
of the two sides and commenting on
the plans suggested by the miners, the
operators aver that the miners have
rejected all the propositions and that
they have nothing further to offer.
The fundamental principles regard
ing the conduct of this business have
all been established by the strike com
mission" the operators declare. No
reason is suggested why they should
be retired. We have no further sug-
gestions to make than those contained
in our former propositions, and we re-
gret that you have declined both of
them, We have nothing further to
Offer" The operators assert that the
miners offer to waive formal recogn:-
tion of the miners union Is not ma
terial, and declare that the miners
program would increase the cost of do
mestic sizes of coal $1.20 per ton.

GOING

Going TO law for the purpose or get

consider his legal rights seems to have

its effects i'll u moral as we'll as tinan-

lowed the shipment TO the stockyards
and recovered three head. He then
sued his neighbor for the other three,
valued at $40, his claim being tinally
allowed. Later lie brought suit against
the railroad over which the shipment
was made for $1,000. Although lie has
spent every cent of his fortune OF $2O

sirous of continuing the suit as pau

seen that the consumption would have
to be on very large scale to at all keep

The little turkey is more sensitive
and tender and requires greater care
than the chick up to six weeks of age,
but after this time the condition seems
TO be reversed. During this early pc

plenty of cooked food, which may be
of varied kinds. A close watch should
be Kept for lice and mites, which are
among their worst enemies during the

In pruning the orchard ii is better to
err on the side Of moderate rather than
excessive cutting. Limbs which rub or
extend diagonally across the general
direction OF the other limbs, as well as
root and trunk sprouts and shoots,
should be cut out. and this work should
be done from year TO year. as occasion
requires. Heavy pruning gives the tree
a shock from which il does not always
readily recover. Limbs larger than an
inch in diameter should bc painted or
covered with coating Of grating wax
to exclude moisture and air and pre-
vent the entrance of fungi. II Is a gen
eral rule worth remembering that prun-
iag when the tree Is dormant tends 10
stimulate growth. while pruning when
the leaves are out tends 10 check the
growth and iayoFs the development or
fruit buds.
