TESTING FIRE CLAY.

Fire clay has been in use for cen, turies, and yet believe the industry s one which lacks definite laws more than any other, including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence.

A CHINESE BANQUET.
Culinary Mysteries That Bewidsred
 an EuuIiShwoman

One moment we were eating ducks whites indicated that their age was unimpeachable; the next we were grap- bling with sea weeds, macaroni and tine slippery sharks fins that eluded our clumsily manipulated sticks. Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked In sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- aXeons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us. and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice tillerS and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where in every dish had an accompaniment of smaller ones. containing gravies. etc., in which to dip the morSel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt, roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom. of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish, which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only, for the Chinese remembers his servant. And, finally. at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, With feel Ing of thankfulness that all was over, pipes. cigarettes and tea were served, and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had been growing on us for all things Chinese Mary Moore in London Express
