MAKING PORCELAIN.

The Most Exciting and Romantic
Trade In the World.
The maker Of porcelain and pottery
has decidedly the most exciting and ro-
mantle trade in the world.
The great factories of Sevres and
Dresden were founded by Bernard
Palsy. This man invented white
enamel, but it took him sixteen years
to make the invention-sixteen years of
hunger, misery and persecution, which
eliminated in the episode, used in II.
A. Jones' play Of 1.-THE Middleman,"
wherein Palsy maintained his furnace
fire by burning all the furniture in his
house and finally opened the furnace
door to find within the glaze which he
had sought throughout the best years
Of his life.
He, was an alchemist, and one day,
CHANGING to discover that his powdered
wig was unusually heavy, he inquired
the cause and found that the weight
was due to the kaolin with which the
wig was powdered. This kaoln was
the substance for lack of which Bott-
ghcrs Investigations had for years
failed.
When Elers opened Il porcelain fac
tory at Burslem he employed none but
the most stupid and illlterate workmen,
SO that his secret processes might not
become known. But Samuel Astbury
resolved to learn the Elers method, and,
affecting ignorance and stupidity, he
got place in the factory, mastered all
Of Elers' secrets and eventually opened
plant of his own, wherein he duplicat-

Exchange,

A distinguished senator from the
northwest strolled into the barber shop
in the senate wing one day for shave.
The chairs We're all. occupied. The
statesman, seeing this, started to so out,
with the idea of returning n little later,
but the head barber of the tonsorial
parlor sought to detain the senator. He
called after him in n rather strident
tone:
you're the next, senatorw
The northwestern senator wheeled
about, assuming a sad smile, placed q
hand over his fast pulsating heart as
though the throbbing there panied him
and said to the head barber.
''Be good enough not to remind mo
of that any oftener than you can help.

but permit me to enjoy what peace I
may until the blow falls.'
And the occupants Of the chairs
