pay out enormous sums and it is
believed the order will result i'll
a great saving to the county.

DISCOVERY or DRESDEN CHINA
Valuable Secret Entirely the Result
Of an Accident.

Dresden china was discovered
through accident. John Frederick
Bottcher was q chemists assistant In
Berlin about 100. At that time all
potters were endeavoring to discover
Q means of making translucent china.
but In vain.
Bottcher. having fallen under sus-
picion of being an alchemist. was
obliged to leave Berlin and take refuge
In Saxony. Augustus II. was elector
Of Saxony. and In hope or finding the
secret of the philosophers stone he
placed young Bottcher In laboratory
with orders to carry on his expert
ments. While working along the lines
designated by the elector. Bottcher
surprised himself by discovering some
thing akin to Chinese porcelain. He
was at once hidden by the king to
pursue the quest Of making china. He
might have continued his endeavors
for many years, had not an accident
given him the key to the translucent
china.
A wealthy iron founder was riding
on horseback near Aue, in Saxony.
when he noticed that his horse lifted
its feet with difficulty. On examina.
ton he found that the animals h0ofs
were filed with q peculiar white ad.
hesiye clay. More out of curiosity
than anything else. he took some Of
this clay home with him, and succeed.

der. Through chance Bottcher OBJ
tanned some Of this powder and found
that It was the long.sought kaolin.
The secret Of the translucent china
was solved. and the king ordered q
china factory to be built, Of which
Bottcher was the head.-Sunday Mag.

LOVE FOR OLD FURNITURE.
Pride Of Ancestry az Common Weak
ness Of the Human.

We all know the woman who would
not own stick Of old furniture unless
It came from her ancestors, and
think most OF us have been wicked
enough to wonder II her opportunities
In this direction have been very ex'
tensive.
The woman has yet to be discovered
who would not own diamonds unless
they came to her by inheritance, and
It Is quite as unreasonable to deny
ourselves the possession Of beautiful
furniture simply because some one in
the past was not wise or thoughtful
enough to provide for our need. 1t Is
possible that some kinds of ancestor
worship" do take as violent form as
this, but 1t Is to be hoped they are not
very prevalent. Doubtless In cases
where ancestors are well and favor.
ably known to one, furniture inherited
from them is enhanced in value II the
furniture has Of itself any rightful
claims to appreciation, but no amount
of noble ancestry should even recon.
Gle us to some kinds Of furniture.
Few, too. are fortunate enough to
have possessed ancestors with the
proper amount of foresight. and In
many cases, where beautiful old furni-
ture was possessed in abundance, It
was carelessly passed along to the
washerwoman or exchanged for mod
ern pieces before the owners became
aware that 1t had any value.-Indoors

skllifuI European Horsemen.


Gen. Louis Berta. inspector of cal
vary in the Italian army. is one of
the finest horsemen In Europe. The
general has trained man and horse to
negotiate serious obstacles and to ar.
rive at such pitch Of perfection that
there Is hardly any obstacle which
cannot be overcome.
Chief among these conquered dim.
culties are the now famous "glis-
sades," or slides down steep slopes
made with such astonishing success
by the Cavalry School Of Tor dc
Quinto at Rome. After having excited
the wonder and applause Of all sports
men, civil and military, these glis.
sades have taken their place among
the regulation exercises Of foreign
cavalry schools.
Not only does the general himself
perform the glissades which he has
thus made so popular and important q
part Of his system but he has
daughter, Mile. Inez Berta, an accom-
plished horsewoman, who can do the
glissades as well rs her father OF
any cavalryman In the Italian army.
