Gold DECORATED China.

If china is decorated with gold it
should never be washed with soap, as
1t has q dulling effect and after a time
causes the gilt to rub off. Hot water
does no harm. 1t is better soft, and,
If no rainwater be handy, it is an
easy matter to boil it well, then re-
duce it to the proper temperature. The
softer the drying cloth the better. Use
it the moment the articles are out of
the water, says an exchange. To rinse
In cold water Is to retard the drying.
Besides, many cracks in china are due
to the sudden plunge from hot to cold
water.

A FEAT OF MEMORY.
ZangwiI1's Knowledge of the Famous
Trials of History.

AS an indication of the quality of
Zangwil's mental processes l may re-
late an incident that occurred while
the Ghetto" Mr.. Zangwill was seated
In my office, and we were going over
some of the details of the play. 1t was
the day that Labori, intimately con-
nected with the Dreyfus case in Paris,
was assassinated. Knowing that Zang-
will had intimate knowledge of the
case, New York newspaper sent a
representative up to see him. The re-
porter entered and after conveying the
news said:
Mr.. Zangwill. we want from you a
history of all the famous trials you can
call to mind for our paper"
"IndeedY said Mr.. Zangwill. 81

to see me In three or four days, and
will have it ready"

newspaper man. eve want to print it
in our paper tomorrow morning."
"But you surely don't expect me to
quote you dates and facts out Of my
mind on the spur Of the moment, do
you" asked Mr.. Zangwill in astonish-
ment. "Such thing is out of reason"
''I'm sorry, but it's the only way we
can make use of it." replied the news
paper man firmly. Mr.. Zangwill thought
a moment and then asked if he could
have my stenographer for short time.
He was called in, and Zangwill die

1853, but the purchasers did not file it

the British museum are those for 1774

The bibliographies of almanacs are
ponderous tones, and the middle of
the eighteenth century was the golden
age of this kind of literature. In Paris
alone as many as seventy-three alma

including a royal almanac, an almanac
for merchants, an almanac for Free

manac of badinage, etc. The city of

FREEDOM.
BY Edwin Markham.

Here in the forest now.
AS on that old July.
When first our fathers took the vow,
The blubird, stained with earth and sky,
Shouts from a blowing bough
In green aerial freedom, wild and high
And now. as then, the Dobolink,
gut on the uncertain brink
Or the swaying maple. swings,
While over the wood his proclamation
A daring boast that would unkingdom
kings!
Even so the wild birds sang on Dough
and wall
That day the Bell of independence Hall
Thundered upon the world the Word of
The word God uttered when the world
began
That day when. Liberty began to be.
And mighty hopes were out on land and
sea.
But Freedom calls here conscripts now as
then:
It is an endless battle to be free.
AS the old dangers lessen from the skies
New dangers arise:
Down the long centuries eternally,
Again. again, will rise Thermopy lac
Again, again, new Leonidas
Must hold for God the imperiled Pass.
AS long as the ages run
New Lexington will rise on Lexington;
And many a yaiorous Warren fall
Upon the imperiled wall.
Man is the conscript of an endless quest,
A long divine adventure without rest
A holy war. a battle yet unwon S
When he shall climb beyond the burnt
out sum-
Each hard-earned freedom withers to q
bond;
Freedom Forever Is bsyond-beyondl

But that's the door. Pray walk In.

And ere the chirruping laugh had
ended Toms fight was over and he
was in the hands of two policemen,
who had securely pinned him by either
arm. Resistance was useless. But
