Baked Men.

Workers in porcelain factories are
literally baked, but By some miracle Of
use and wont they remain sufficiently
underdone to live. At least II they are
not quite baked they endure a stronger
heat than that which browns the Sun
day sIrloin. The furnaces wherein
porcelain is finished are kept at the
fercest heat used In any industry. A
chain Of workmen, their heads and
bodies swathed In f1reproof garments,
take the finished pieces from the fire
one at a time and pass them to the
cooling room. The man at the head
Of this chain-he who stands nearest
the furDace-can work in only five
minute shifts. In his interims OF rest
he lies on a mattress drinking glass
after glass Of ice water from the hands
of a small boy. At lunchtime all about

On the road from Clifton downs to
Avonmouth the traveller Will pass, in
the Avon gorge, q curious structure to
which a singular tradition is attached,
relates the London Tatler. The story
is that a person named Cook about
century ago was told by a gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he reach
ed the age OF twsuty-one. To avert
this he built high tower and shut bis
son In the topmost room with the in
tention Of secluding him there until the
fatal age was passed. However, by ac-
cident q viper was taken up In & fagot
TO the room to light the fire, and 1t
crept from the fagot and bit the boy

was called Cooks Folly, and that is It's
