It's Worth 1t.

Among the Korean wares most high
ly esteemed in Japan there was "A
variety 10 which Japanese virtuosi had
given the name of koma-gai. written
KumagaWa. according to Burkley's
Japan. This wasfaience having some
what coarse, brown pate, with l%ustrous.

cracked and of considerable merit.

tea clubs-the Koma-gai faience Of
ferrd a model which Prince Yoshihiro
tabout 1900 was naturally anxious to
soc copied at his factories. His wish
could not be complied with at first,
owing to lack of suitable materials.
Various essays were made by Boku
Hell. the most skilled of the Korean
experts, hut so little success was
achieved that in the year 1914 Prince
Yoshihirc found it necessary to have q
careful search made throughout his
fef for suitable materials. The task
was entrusted 10 Boku Hell. After an
examination conducted with the ut
most patience, He'll reported that the
following materials were suited for
manufacturing. a faience of the desired
nature.
4 species of white sand found at
Kaseda, a stone for manufacturing
glaze, found at Kionomine, in the same
district; three varieties Of white earth
found, respectively, at Uchiyama, in the
Ibusuki district, at Narukawa, and at
Nibura IN the same district, and the
ash obtained from the bark of the Nara
tree grown in Kagago district. The re-
suits Of this Investigation were salts

dueed at the Nawashiro, or Nawashiro-

brated Komagai ware. This was the

WAGNER MADE 1T HOT.
The Composers Trick When Money
and Eirewood Were Scarce.

The Composers Trick When Money
snd Firewood Were Scarce.
Here is an anecdote of Wagner's
early life as related by List: "Wag-
ner, Bulow and l were all quite young
when we lived together in Leipzig and
had good time-that is, enjoyed
myself, but Wagner was already fer
menting with his political and philo-
sophical ideas, and our prosaic cir
cumstances offered little ground for
the idealists of the future. We called
Bulow 'Kritilzus,' and we, especially l,
always feared his sharp tongue a lit
tie. OF course all of us had little mon
ey, but Wagner put our slender purse
to great strains. He could not bear
money worries, and we let him feel
them as little as possible.
"Once, after a long autumn, it be-
came cold suddenly, and Wagner
with his nerves suffered from the
sudden change in the temperature.
He demanded a heated room at once.
For two whole days the debate ragged
between him and Bulow as to the i'm
mediate purchase of wood with our
reduced purse.
81 was not asked, because Bulow
knew that I would yield. but he as
treasurer contended that it was ridicu-
lous to buy wood in the month of Sep
TENDER. But l am freezing, said
Wagner In a rage, to which the mex
orable Bulow suggested that he go out
and get warm by running or warm
himself by his muse. Laughing at his
cheap, spiteful advice, Bulow and
went out. but when we returned after
two hours we were thunderstruck to
find Wagner in the room heated to
suffocation. He sat at his writing ia
Bile deep in his work. His face was
red
where began Bulow, but the
words stuck in IS throat, for a glance
around the room showed him how
Wagner had helped himself. Several
chairs and our work tables lay on the
floor, permanently crippled. Wagner
had cut off their legs and made the
FIRE with them Bulow was speeches.
with rage, but l stood at the door and
laughed till the tears came at this in
genious way Of helping oneself. Bulow
lamented that we would have to re-
place the landlady's chairs and tables
and that he could not sit down or
work.
Wagner answered spitefully: 4
have what / needed! Fellows like you,
who do nothing but go walking, need
neither chairs nor tables. If you had
given me the money right off, your
valuable furniture would still be in ex-
istence. You wished it so! Firewood
would have been cheaperr"

every four years or so. They are very
fond of the roots and stems of peren-
NAL weeds, especially those of Quack
grass and morning glory, and they
will continue to root until the last
piece is brought to light and eaten.
Where all the fields are not fenced
hog tight a temporary pen may be
used. This can be moved about over
the patches of quack grass and morn
ing glory until they are destroyed.
The weed problem is not nearly SO
difficult as many people believe. The
remedy for weeds is good farming
and when good farming becomes the
rule weeds will largely disappear. In
q way weeds are more of a benefit
than an injury. If it were not for
them we would often be tempted to
let the cornfeld go few days longer
before cultivating and thus fail to get
as large a crop as we might otherwise
have done It is the cultivation that
the presence of the weeds forces upon
us that makes plant food available
and prevents the escape of capillary
moisture and so enables the plants to
put their best efforts into producing a
maximum yield.
