Satsuma, adored of all pottery-lov-I
ing women, has been manufactured
for many hundreds of years in Japan.
In old feudal days the Japanese princess
delighted in private potteries, in which
art craftsmen made all the pottery:
used in their lords establishment. The
ware made on the estate of the PrinceI
Of Satsuma acquired worldwide
fame. During the internal wars Of the
nineteenth century, however, which re-
suited in the new Japan, the secret Of
the ware would have been lost had it,
not been preserved by potter. Mr.
Meizan. of Osalsa, is said to be the
greatest living decorator of Satsuma.
He employs fifteen artists, all his own
pupils. The extreme minuteness OF
some Of Meizan's decorations is almost
incredible. On the interior Of a bowl
fifteen inches in circumference and
three in depth, he has painted 10000
butterflies, indishnguIshabIe to the

GOLD IN YOUR BACK YARD
You May Be Living Right Over a 3D.
nanza Without Suspectinq 1t

There may be a rich gold mine in
your back yard, if you happen to be
living on the site of an ancient lake
In scores of places scattered all over
the country there are pits and mounds
of black sand, out of which gold plat
mum and other precious minerals may
be extracted The national govern

latest mining sensation, which prom

kings as the discovery of Alaska it.
self.
1t had long been known that Plat
mum existed in marketable quantities
in what are known as the "black
sands" of the Pacific coast, but the
deposits were practically useless be-
cause of the lack of an efficient and
economical method of concentration
or treatment. 1t was to the solution
of this problem that the government
experts applied themselves. AS first
step a general invitation was extend
ed to Pacific coast property owners,
whose holdings included such depos-
it's, to send to the governments sam
pies of the wealth-bearing sand for
free tests.

From the very outset the results
were both gratifying and surprising.
The government investigators not only
found platinum in quantities that ex-
ceeded their expectations, but they
discovered that the bland sand sedi-
ment was rich in many other valuable
substances, notably gold. In some in
stances, it was evident that given
deposit was well worthy of treatment
merely for the extraction of one or
two minerals, as, for instance, large
shipment of sand from Humboldt
county, Cal which showed an assay
value of $1,000 per ton in gold and
platinum alone.
Dr. Day and his assistants have ac-
complished such wonders on the Pa

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
North Carolina Justice Would Alter
the Method

the Method
Our manner of electing president
readily lends itself to the choice Of a
minority candidate. 1t Is anomaly
that 100 votes-a in New York in
18S4-should swing seventy electoral
votes, thirty-five from one candidate
to another, and thus decide an cleo
ton.
By preserving the electoral vote
system as now, and giving the smaller
states still the advantage, it might yet
be possible to divide the electoral
vote of each state according to the
popular vote for each candidate, CIV
ing each his pro rata of the electoral
vote on that basis-the odd elector
being apportioned to the candidate
having the largest fraction; so that
In New York Mr. Blaine would have
had seventeen electoral votes and Mr..
Cleveland eighteen
Other states would also have been
more or less evenly divided, but the
result would be that the choice OF
president would no longer be restrict
ed to two or three states as in our
past history and is likely always to be
the case as long as the whole electo-
raj vote of two or three large pivotal
states must swing to one side or the
other and determine the result.
The change would avoid the present
evil of large sums of money being
spent to carry the solid electoral woe
of a large pivotal state, for there
would cease to be pivotal states At
the same time 1t would avoid the open
gulf into which a per capita ballot by
the whole union would lead us.
BY the convention of 1887 the term
of the president was originally fixed
at seven years and he was made in
eligible for reelection. This was re-
duced to four years by a compromise
that he could be reelected without
limitation.
Washington imposed limitation by
an example, but it will not always be
binding. An amendment making the
term six years and the president in
eligible to reelection has long been
desired by large portion of the pub
lie. Indeed when the constitutional
convention of the union shall assemble
as it must some day, to remodel our
constitution, it is more than probable
that the powers of the executive will
also be restricted.
His powers are now greater than
those of any sovereign of Europe, ex-
cept Russia, and the real restrictions
upon him at present are not constitu
tional, but the senate and the judi
ciary.-Walter Clark in tie New York

slip, then. it is tied loosely about
the plant so as not to bind and in
jure the stems as the plant iucreas-
es in size. When the plant has
grown a foot or more, it is again
tied and third trying is usually
necessary when the plant has
reached nearly to the top of the
top of the stake. The advantages
of stalking and tying tomatoes in
stead Of allowing them to spread
over the ground are that in a cool
season the fruits ripen more read
lily IN wet season they are less
subject to rot, and in dry season,
the plants can be kept thrifty and
productive BY continuous cultivation
long after unframed plants have
ceased to bear. In any season,
fruits which lie in contact with
the ground, as is the case with
many fruits on unframed plants,
are more or less blemished by
rough placeson the shin which
render them unfit for packing as
fruits. A test also showed a much
larger yield from staked then I'M
taxed plants. However, the stalk
ing and tying involved consider
able expense, and many growers
perfer the other method, even
though the crop is less certain in
an unfavorable season.
