A Boy on Clergy en-.

Bishop Potter, at an ecclesiastical
dinner in New York, read a COOpers-
town school boys essay on Clergymen.
The essay, which created much amuse-
ment, was as follows:
There are kinds of clergymen bish-
ups rectors and curats. the bishups tell
the recters to work and the curats have
to do it. A curate is a thin married
man but when he is a recter he gets
fuller and can preach longer sermons
and becums a good man"

some fifty-odd suits. He says that is

In. Porcelain Secret.

The porcelain industry of Germany is comparatively young, says the Berlin Morgen Post, and it's development was rapid. Although 1t is generally believed that the Chinese kept their processes of manufacture secret, Julian's transla- tions of their voluminous encyclopedia show that this is not true. All who could have read the work might have known also the porcelain secret. But evidently no German fathomed the me- chanical mystery until the apothecary's apprentice Boettgar. 200 years ago, made the first German porcelain at Dresden Some years before he had attracted attention by proclaiming the discovery of method of changing base metal into gold. King Frederick l. gave him orders for the precious metal, which the sixteen n-year-old in ventor could not execute. and in fear he fled to Dresden and became a sub ject of King August the Strong. While endeavoring to make gold he discover ed the porcelain secret and inscribed his door thus: Into potter was changed by Almighty God man who thought he could make gold"

 "The fool actions of a woman that saw downtown today. She followed a man ten blocks just to get to read a placard that was fastened to his back. She spotted him at Thirty-fourth street. That was really the end of her trip-I made that out from something she said to another woman who was too fat to join in the chase-but when she caught sight of that flaming red poster tied to the mans back her cu- riosity got the better of her and she set out after him. He led her quite a chase across town and downtown and back again. but she never weakened. She tagged faithfully along in his wake, and finally she got close enough to read that notice."
 Mrs. Fletcher reflected moment.
 "What did 1t say?" she asked.
 'It advised her to get her teeth pull ed somewhere on Sixth avenue"
 Mrs. Fletcher thought again.
 "Where were you all the time she was trying to find that out?"

 When toward midnight the fever ebbed, Sanderson had fallen into a deep sleep of exhaustion, from which he opened his eyes next morning upon the figure of Prendergast sitting, pipe in mouth, in the sunny doorway.
 He lifted himself on his elbow. That crafty face had been ineXplicably wov- en with the delirious fantasies of his fever. Where and when had he known it? Then in great tide welled over him the memory of his last conscious | hours-the scene in the saloon, the fight, the music, the sudden appalling discovery. of his name and repute. He remembered the sickening wave of self disgust, the fierce agony of resentment that had beat in his every vein as he walked up the darkening street. He remembered the thrown quartz. No doubt another missile had struck home or he had been set upon, kicked and pommeled into insensibility. This old mana miner probably. for there were picks and shovels in the corner-had succored him. He had been i'll, there was lassitude in every limb. and shad- owy recollections tantalized him.

 He lifted himself upright, dropping his feet to the floor. At the movement the man on the doorstep rose quickly and came forward. You're better. Hugh he said. "Take it easy though.
