JASPER WARE.
The Famous Pottery Produced b
Josiah Wsdawood.

Josiah Wedswood.
Wcdgwood achieved his great
fame as the inventor and producer
Of jasper ware. This invention was
the result Of his great love. for the
classic art and Classic history. to
which he was introduced by, Bent
ley.
Wedgwood was intent ON widen
ing the field OF ceramic art and
longed to initiate the canoes of
Greece and Rome. After years Of
patient and secret experimenting
he produced in 1875 the jasper ware
SO inseparably connected with his
name and through which much of
his fortune was acquired.
This ware is of an extremely del
icate texture. Its ingredients are
sulphatc Of baryta, carbonate of
baryta, clay and tint. In the ear
lier pieces the entire body was stain
ed with the metallic oxide used for
cclor;as, y" i is known as solid
Jasper In l7T7 in order. to secure
uniformity and evenness in, the COL
oring of the fields the later forms
received merely wash of the me-
tal]ic oxide and are distinguished
by the term Casper dip" :, q
Every stage of the process needed
the most careful attention: Much
depended upon the grinding and
mixing Of the materials, still more
on the firing Of the nodded objects.
The process was apparently simple
when it was mastered The hest
modelers. were employed to make
the original wax models, many from
life, others from paintings, prints
and medals. Clay molds were taken
from the wax model and fired.
Into these the plastic clay was
pressed. The reliefs obtained there
from were placed in their colored
bases and while still soft were gone
over by a modeler, who retouched
them when necessary and did GER
tain amount of the Underwriting
which is SO beautiful feature Of
all of the jasper ware of Josiah
Wedgwood's period. The pieces
we're then fired. =,
It was not until 1777 that Wedg-
wood perfected his process and be-
came absolutely sure of his results.
Danger in firing was obliterated
and great height in reliefs made
possible.-R. T. H. Halsey in Serb
ners.

Safeguarding the Prisoners.

After the battle Of Families had
been won by the great Duke OF
Marlborough, Lord JOHN Hay, VINO
commanded a regiment Of Scotch
dragons when the regiment of
foot called the kings, consisting
Of 200 men, submitted to him and
surrendered their arms and colors,
ordered, to prevent their running
away and the necessity OF setting a
strong guard over them, that every
man should cut a piece out of the
waistband- of his breaches, which
obliged them to hold them up with
one hand, and in that posture they
marched with guard of only TWEEN
ty-fve dragons and a sergeant.

THE FOOD QUESTION.
Never Eat Quite as Much as You Think
You Want.

The Romans said. "Eat, drink
and be merry, for tomorrow yoa
die" And their banquet> quite
equaled those Of the American mil
ionairc of this twentieth century.
They ate, and the 4toman empire
died. But we Of America choose to
live and to live long and to live
we'll, And so the maxim of today
is, "Eat less and be merry anyhow 81
Why cat less? Simply because
as a nation We cat too much. Thir
ty years ago so per cent of the diet
was meat. Today it has diminished
to one-third.
s'Never eat quite as much as you
think you WANT is the continual
advice of a learned physician to the
young man who would gladly be a
Roman if he could.
More and more among leaders in
life is the question of nutrition re-.
ceiving attention. Rheumatic PEG.
pie learn to do away with meat
diet absolutely. So great is the re.
lief that sweets and other question.
able but much liked articles of diet
soon follow. And, while the prohi.
bition and restrictions sound hard
Of practice, persons do it daily and
always say that they don't care.
Oddly, it is the women who are the
more likely to complain in the be-
ginning.
1t may seem a long stretch to say
the food question can affect interna-
tional politics. Yet because the Ia
boring classes of other nations eat
less their living is cheaper and they
work without sacrifice for a lower
wage than our republican born men.
The American laborer is fond of
things fried and of pies. He eats
heavily during the noon hour, not
stopping to realize that he has fed
his furnace with noncombustible
stuff that brings unnecessary effort
upon the digestive system. The
foreigner at his side eats more sen.
sibly-somehow the older nations
have learned and not taught-and
the foreigner is more "it," more
contented. He is teachable, and his
work is good. He costs less money,
and therefore the international
problem. - Philadelphia North

the bcggar>' kitchen for hours at a
stretch and night after night. This
is continued until the patient can
bear a sudden and unexpected prick
with a needle or even the touch of
redhot iron without relapsing into
his normal attitude.
Not many years ago one of these
mock paralytics, who was accustom-
ed to throw off his seeming infirmi-
ty and play the burglar by way of
change, was caught in the very act
of breaking into IA house and COM
mitted for trial. Here he got up
such a scmblance of hopeless paraly-
sis as deceived, everybody. When
the trial came on he was carried
into the court on q stretcher and
laid at full length in the dock.
Everybody, including the Judge and
jury, commiserated the case, and
he escaped with one years i1nprison-
ment instead of long term of
penal servitude.
The doctor of the prison to
which the convict was next trans
ferred felt sure that the whole thing
was a sham and tried all the or
binary methods of detection, in
GLIDING a liberal use of the galvanic
battery, but without effect. At
length great heap of damp straw
was collected in the Jail yard, and
the scoundrel, still stretched on his
pallet, which he never quilted, was
placed thereon. The straw was
fred on all sides, throwing out a
little flame. and dense volumes of
choking smoke. This did the bust

minute the paralytic astohished

The Crab a. a Fisherman.

The crab sometimes catches fish,
and it catches it without hook and
line. 1t lies in wait, perhaps in
some creek, with its.cIaws extended
in front and open. Perhaps school
OF killies comes along, and it may
be that a killie on the outskirts of
the school may swim unsuspecting-
ly along through the clear water be-
tween the upper and lower parts of
one of the motionless open claws of
the crab. When it is well within
them the claw suddenly snaps to-
gether, and that particular little
killie goes no farther.
