Nine M%iIlIon. for Fake sevre..

French authorities have figured out
that every year more than 100000
worth of fake Sevres porcelains are
manufactured, principally In Germany,
at Leipzig, Berlin and Ruhm, and that
there is no way of stopping this falsifi-
cation Of a special kind of manufac-
ture of which the French government
has long had the moncI,ciy.
The trade mark of the Sevres porce-
lains has changed with The successive
reigns and empires, that Of the present
bearing the republican insignia. For
this reason the German manufacturers
produce the fake Sevres porcelains and
place on each piece a mark of the old
en- time, which is no longer a trade
mark and thus cannot be prosecuted by
the French government.
It is said that most of the German
product is sold in America, and that
while you can buy a plate of German
made Sevres in Paris for 60 cents, you
have to pay as much as S34 in London
and New York for the same stuff.

A STRANGE ROMANCE.
George Ross md HIS Private Ma
laysinn Colony. .. 30 .

Gcorge Ross md HIS Private NH
aysinn Colony. .
Dur fayorite story is the one which
Mr.. Clifford calls The Romance of a
Scots Family" George Ross, the son
of a poor tenant farmer in the Ork-
neyS, went out in 4 Whaler to the
E! China seas, entered the East India
company's navy, and ultimately took
to shipbuilding. When fortune came
to him he went back to Scotland and
carried off his whole family to the
own. The tale of the colony which he
founded there is scarcely inferior in
interest to the history of Sarawak.
His son was a dreamer, but his grand
son was a mighty man of his hands,
who turned the settlement Of the Co
cos Malays into a model common
wealth.
''They have developed much of the
Scotsman's love of order. regularity,
n~eatness and cleanliness-all virtues
foreign to the race from which they
spring. Their ~womanfolk, who tyran-
nize shamefully over the men since
George Ross has set his face like a
flint against the time-honored practice
of wife-beating. indulge every Satur-
day in a wholesale 'redding up of
their houses. the like of which is not
to be seen in all Asia. Their
sole lapse from virtues way appears
to be that they are apt to construct
and conceal from the sight of their
own rulers certain Illicit stills-things
not unknown in the records Of Scot
land, but startlingly inappropriate to
a Mohammetan people-wherein to
brew cocoanut toddy Of an exceeding
vileness." +
1t is said to think that the old iso-
lation is likely to disappear, since. a
cable station is to be erected on the
atoll, and strange men and ideas will
soon break in upon the island calm.
Every one must regret with Mr.. Cliff
ford the "loss Of the simplicity and the
seclusion, which have been the tools
In the hands of an obscure Scots fam
lily wherewith to fashion something so
near in likeness to the perfect state"
London Spectator.

SHOT a. bunny 1rit : n..r.

When John Potter of Sullivan Coun.

ae put three shells charged win buck
shot into his belt in anticipation OF
meeting a fox. says the Port Jeryis
IN. Y.), correspondent OF the New

that he owed his life. AT the edge Of
\ swamp the hunter sighted a RABBIT.
Bunny was brought down with a load
Df birdshot, but the fine shot scattered
and the rabbit fell. Potter heard a
terrific roar from a clump OF bushes
Several OF the small shot had struck
a huge bear in the nose and he plunged
from the underground the maddest
animal that ever pokcd his head out of
a swamp. Potter was SO completely
taken by surprise that he had no time
to run when the bear charged. He
sprnng to one side and escaped a blow
from the beasts paw, but a second
blow struck him in the leg, ripping his
felt boot from top to sole and tearing
the flesh.
Unmindful OF the pain, Potter bolted
for open country with the bear at his
heels. He encountered a rail fence
and vaulted over It, but In doing so
he dislocated his left wrist and fell
In desperation he showed n of the
buckshot cartridges into his gun, and
as h bear was clambering over the
fence after him he fired the full charge
into the bears head. The bear fell
dead within two feet of Potter. The
hunter walked five miles to have his
injuries dressed by a physician.
