Cst.inq Off Easy,

A sergeant in one of the Irish in
fantry regiments has small but ac-
tive wife, of whom he stands in con-
siderable awe. One day he lost his
temper. The object of his wrath
was dog belonging to the wife of
one of his superior officers. The
lady overheard some Of the state
ments and took him severely to
task.
You ought to be ashamed to say
such things and to lose your temper
with an ANIMAL" she said, while the
big sergeant looked shamefaced and
anxious. 81 shall report your Ian
guage."
'"To-to her, ma'am? ?" faltered
the penitent soldier.
'"To my husband" said the lady
haughtily.
''Do so, ma'am," said the culprit
cheerfully. 81 we'll deserve it.

JASPER WARE.
The Famous Pottery Produced by
Josiah Wedcwcod. eat-.ss>, ..sse.


Josiah Wedcwcod. ~ae.,s~, .see
Wedgwood 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 1775 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
sulphate of baryta, carbonate of
baryta, clay and flint. In the ear
ier pieces the entire body was stain
ed with the metallic oxide used for
coloring. This is known as ''solid
jasper" In 1777 in order to secure
uniformity and evenness in the col
oring of the fields the later forms
received merely a wash of the me-
tallic oxide and are distinguished
by the term casper dip"
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 best
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 "undercutting"
which is so beautiful a feature Of
all of the jasper ware of Josiah
Wedgwood's period. The pieces
were then fired.
1t 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
ner's.

The Crab as a Fi5i. c-r-aa.

The crab sometimes catches fs''i.
and it catches it without hook and
line. 1t lies in wait, perhaps in
some creek, with its claws extended
in front and open. Perhaps school
of killies comes along, and it may
be that 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.

At the beginning of a glad
New Year it is we'll to remem-
Der that some of the best
things in life can be stored
up only by the generosity
which gives, asking for moth
ing again. Such are warm
affections, kind feelings,
benevolent dispositions.
Every service willingly rem
dered, every help gladly
given, every effort to en-
courage the disheartened, to
teach the ignorant, to lift the
fallen, not only perform their
intended work but even more
surely react upon the doer;
they may or may not bring
him the love, respect and
gratitude of those he be-
friends, but they will infalliby
bring brightness and sweet
ness into his own heart, in
creasing his desire and
strengthening his power to
do good, and storing up with
in him those dispositions
cannot fail to bless him
while enabling him to bless
others.

New Year Revepies.

Inc days, weeks anu years
slip away like water in a run
ming stream. Times great
clock never loses IL moment.
Relentlessly, surely the mo-
ments pass, and our eager
hands are not able to detain
them. We cannot keep back
the flying years, but we can
and should keep the blessings
they bring. Hold fast to the
lessons they have taught.
Keep the memory of their
joys. Enrich every day of
life with the garnered wealth
of the days behind. The
years pass, but they leave
their treasure with us, If our
hands and heart are open to
receive them, so as with one
hand we shake farewell to
1907 let us stretch out the
other hand to warmly greet
and welcome 1908.
Renewed feelings of am
bition are synonymous with
the opening of the New Year.
More resolutions are made
than at any other time, and
as often are they alas! broken.
But with some the resolutions
made with the dawn of a new
year have been carried
through to it's close. Numer-
Gus lives of honor and
achievement can be traced to
some determination of pur-
pose made upon an occasion
such as the first day of the
year affords for a fresh start
in the journey of life. We
all desire success; the prob
lem of life is it's winning.
Every person carries in his
or her own hand the key that
unlocks either the door of
success or failure. The true
key Of success is lacor, and
it requires a strong, resolute
will to turn it. It is hard,
earnest work, step by step,
that insures success, and
never was this truth more
potent than at the present
time. Positions of trust and
eminence are no longer
secured at a single leap.
Man and woman have ceased
to succeed in a hurry. The
secret Of many successful
careers is the thorough per-
Torrance of whatever has
been undertaken.

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.


Between the holiday season
and "LaGrippe'. the political
world in Washington has been
so occupied as to leave little time
for aught else. There are no
new developments but the prob
lem is growing more pulling, if
anything, and one hears many
queries on every side which
even the most as tute seem un-
able to answer satisfactorily.
The New York situation com
mands the most interest and is
the subject of most speculation
in Washington, naturally. For
instance, why should the friends
of Governor Hughes of New York
resist the efforts of loyal Repub-
Trans to endorse the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt in
the same resolution in which
they declare for Hughes for the
Presidency? What possible
harm could an endorsement of
the Preside Mt have done Govern
nor Hughes. if he stands for the
same thin gs as President Roose-
welt? On the other hand, if
Hughes does not stand for the
Roosevelt policies, but is the re-
presentativ e of the anti-Roose-
welt, pro-corporation4 faction of
the party-as most of the friends
of the President believe-how
can he hope to be the Presiden-
tial nominee, or hope to be
elected if nominated? Again.
why does Mr.. Hughes resist the
efforts of his frien DIS to have him
make a public declaration on ma
tional policies, so that the mem
bers of. the party throughout the
country may determine for
themselves to which faction of
party he is loyal?

Governor Hughes does not, by
any means, constitute the whole
of the Republican catechism.
Senator Foraker has managed
t. contribute some interesting
chapters and the answers are
not as yet forthcoming. Why
did not Senator Foraker make
the race merely for reelection
to the Senate and leave the Pre-
sidency alone? He must know
that be stands absolutely no
chance of securing the Presi-
DENTAL nomination, say the wise
acres, and why should he seek
to prevent another of Ohio's
favorite sons from being Presi-
dent? A dog-in- the manager
policy is the answer suggested
to this last query by many Of
the most prominent Republicans
in Washington, and under such
circums tances will not the peo-
pie of Ohio repudiate Mr.. Forak-
er? they ask. And again, it is
not at all apparent to politicians
in this city why Mr.. Foraker
persists in making war on the
policies of President Roosevelt.
Theae are a few of. the conun-
drums heard every where in
political circles, and correct an
swers would be most gratefully
received.

gard and friendly feeling.
The world fairly beams with
good cheer.
In starting out upon the
journey of a new year an ex-
cellant maxim is that which
counsels us never to put our
hands to any thing into which
we cannot throw our whole
energies harnessed with the
very best Of our endeavors.
Perseverance is essential to
success. since it is often
achieved only through a sue
cession of failures. In spite
of our best efforts, failures
are in store for the majority
of the race. It remains,
then, for us all to do the best
we can under all circum-
stances, bearing in mind that
races are not always won by
the swiftest feet nor triumph
in battle secured by the
strongest arms. It is not so
much the possession of swift
ness or strength as it is the
right application of them by
which success is insured. =
The youth who starts out
in life with an earnest deter
mination to be honest, up
right, faithful to all trusts,
punctual, attentive, and
above all, God-fearing. has
a promise of abundant sue
cess. Though he be without
money, or wealthy friends,
he will be sure to gain all.
that he most desires and make
a success of life. Start to-,
day. ...ss
