Old Wedgwood Cream Ware.

From the IAdy's Pictorial.
Josiah WedgwoOd was ecIipsed by his
own greatness. His world renowned Jas
per ware Is his greatest triumph and has
overshadowed all his other work. His
Egyptian black ware, or basalt, in itself
would have won renown for any other
English potter. His maTbled wares are
distinctive enough 20 have placed him
high on the list Of ceramic inventors.
So it has come to pass that his earth
enware, the very English cream ware. or
queens ware, as no termed it after 1855,
when Queen Charlotte gave him her pat
ronage and commanded him to call him
self Potter to Her Majesty" has suf-
fered by being regarded as the poorer re-
latiOn OF his other work.
1t cannot be too strongly urged upon
collectors to pay particular attention to
three classes of cream ware. First, the
undecorated or plain. representing the
most perfect symmetry and rivaIing the
work Of the silversmith. There are de-
lightful teapots of bold design and ex-
quisite dishes OF pierced work without

days, when the cream ware was sent TO

MAY KEEP SILVER BRIGHT.

From the Philadelphia Star.
Only by careful attention TO table sill
verware can housewife keep # in condi-
ton. unless she has competent servants.
And these the average young housekeep-
era brlde-cannot usually afford 20 en-
ploy.
Therefore, when teaching an inexpen-
sive and new maid her duties in the
household. the mistress should specially
stipulate that the silver must DO clean
ed at least once a week, and that list
OF all the pieces should be kept on a
hook in the pantry. And that after the
cleansing, all spoons, dishes. &C. OF sill
yer must be counted, TO be sure none
is missing.
If the head Of the house has conf
dence in her maid. she need not be pres
ent during the counting. but II the SER
want is careless, or IL sny way unre-
liable the employee should attend the
weekly count, and herself check of the
articles.
Such action is not a reflection upon the
employees honesty, although candor COM
pels one TO admit that It is a slur upon
| her reliability. The object Of a count
| once a week Is that should any article
/ be mislaid there is more chance Of its
being brought to light If missed immedi-
lately when lost than If many weeks
elapse in the interval before its loss is
| discovered.
| Under no conditions should any silver
| be allowed to remain out in the pantry
at night unless there is a special place
! for IT, For not only does this mean IN
tidiness, but even in an apartment a
| pantry is generally nearest the outside
kitchen door, and, If any one wishes TO
carry of the valuables the theft is thus
made easier
In the country this putting away OF
the silver Is more important matter
than in town. for in the former place
the cupboards might be rifed at night
without any one upstairs knowing an
| intruder was on the premises.
The old custom, uEfailingly followed
| by our grandmothers Of having all the
silver carried upstairs at night is going
owned by individuals increases, making
/ It too much labor to take them back
and forth. Safes are an expensive COM
modify. so that It requires some thought
| to decide what is best for recurity. One
| solution of this problem has been effected
| in a house in the country. where a cup
/ board under the pantry shelves has been
fitted with a special lock and compart-
ments made for different pieces. A shelf
the length of the cupboard Is placed a
little higher than the center. thus leaving
the lower portion for big pieces. Both
shelf and bottom are covered with thick
red flannel. and that dust may not gather
there IS a separate flooring, as It were,
under the flannel. which permits of its
being taken out and thoroughly brushed.

FASHION NOTES

Sweaters have increased in length until
now some models shown reach almost 20
the bottom OF the dress SKIRT, but the
shorter models remain the more practical
and popular.
Green is being pressed as a color for
autumn, the olive and soft shades for
street wear and the pale green for even
ing gowns. The green beaver hat of a
remarkable velvet softness is heralded IN
ar alpine shape. trimmed with one huge
caboshon OF wide ribbon velvet In the
same green.
The fuller sleeve gains ground slowly
but surely, though the fullness in very
many instances appears at the elbow or
below rather than at the top of the arm.
Draped and pulled oversleeves have
gained ground. and it win be interesting
TO see into what form sleeve modes crys-
tallize when the winter season arrives.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

I never could understand the hue and
cry made over the attention given to ami
mails. OF course, know that a few silly
women go 20 extremes, but on the whole
humanity is justified in finding an outlet
for affection and the desire to coddle and
care for something. All women do not
shirk the burden OF motherhood. 1t is
denied to a great many who get no credit
for 1t. and If they prefer an animal which
can be put away when they desire to
adopt strange children. for whom they
must care under any circumstances after
they have assumed the responsibility. it
IS nobody's business.
I know OF dozens OF women who are
willing 10 contribute 10 the support of
homes for orphans. but who have per
sistently refused to take any one Of them
into the family. They regard motherhood
as a blessed state. but not being mothers.
they feel no yearning toward strange
children. One of the number told me that
she stands ready TO take one child If any
thing happens TO its parents; that she
would be a mother TO any or all Of the
brood Of small nieces and nephews who
call her aunt IL circumstances made it
necessary. But she does not want strange
babies, and she does feel much affection
for dog which is her constant COM
panlon.
There are censorioUs persons who have
objected TO the care she bestows upon an
animal I have heard women declare that
she should adopt a child. or more than
one, because she is well off in this
worlds goods. I know her TO be q gener-
Gus woman in the matter OF charity. 7
know that she gives enough to support
one child at least, but shrinks from the
hnds her husband and home quite enough
to I'll her thoughts and time-and she
loves her dog, yes; dispite criticism, she
does that.
I do not imagine that all adopted chill
dTen bring grief and regret to the homes
which shelter them. but enough OF them
have proved failures TO mako one do a
bit Of thinking. When ones own children
turn out badly the shock has TO be borne
because Of the tie of blood. but It IS a
poor reward for generosity and self-sacri-
flee TO find misery in the possession OF a
child bound by no blood tie. It requires
real courage to face a possibility like
that. and no woman can be blamed for
avoiding H. We are not all heroines, you
know. BETTY BRADEEN.

THE auto ON EXHIBITION.

S1H HAT the motor car has become one of the greatest of the
III worlds institutions is a fact impressed upon the minds of
all who visit the automobile exhibit in the Essex Troop
Armory, the third, and best, that has been given in Newark. A
great show like this invites reflections. The origin of the motor
car is so recent that the novelty has not yet worn off in an age
accustomed to marves. 1t was "only the other day" that the
sight of an automobile on the street attracted attention and caused
comment The vehicle then was crude in design and poor in opera
lion compared with the perfect machines turned out today. The
best machines were imported at prices prohibitory for the ordinary
citizen. But American inventiveness and enterprise were already
at work, and it was not long before the American designer and
artisan began to turn out automobiles that competed with the
foreign make and soon supplanted it. We are now exporting large
numbers of Americanmade machines and they find a preference.
abroad to the best foreign makes. How the cost of production and
the prices have come down, too, The automobile is no longer the
exclusive possession of the rich; it is in common use; it has fairly
driven out the carriage horse and relegated the buggy to the lumber
room of the past. There is art and beauty in the automobile, such
as is exhibited in the Essex Troop Armory. Strength and power
are united with grace and swiftness. 1t seems a far cry now back
to the time when the auto was the object of popular execration on
the highways, and yet it was "only the other day

THE MEAT TRUST TO THE BAR.

6a HE indictment of the beef trust by the Hudson grand jury
is for conspiracy. There is evidence before the grand jury
of other crimes against the public, and it is probable other
indictments will follow. The storage of food unfit for human con-
sumption, the "doctoring" of this food for the market, the storage
of articles for many months and until they have become dangerous
aus food, these acts constitute a crime against the public and come
within the purgew of the criminal law of this State. The owners
of the cold storage plants in Hudson county are jointly responsible
for these acts. 1t will be found that the meat trust and the cold
storage concerns have corporate relations as intimate as those of
The Slamese twins, that the latter are subsidiary concerns.
Naturally, the meat trust indictment has aroused an extraordinary
interest throughout the country, as it is the first decided action
taken against the trust by the criminal law. Prosecutor Garvens
Investigation at first attracted little attention. Even the meat
trust barons apprehended nothing from it. But the doughty
Prosecutor, having struck the trail, followed it up with the scent
Of a bloodhound, and he has developed a case that means the
alJalgnment of the beef barons for trial before a court and jury
i6qNew JERSEY. But will not some echoes of this case be heard
in the legislative halls at Trenton? Are all the cold storage houses
iHNew Jersey located in Hudson county?

THE TRIALS OF A MISGOvERNED CITY.

cma HE deplorable scenes of violence in Philadelphia in the strike
by the employees of the local traction company can be fairly
attributed to the abominably bad political government of
the city as the primary cause. The corrupt regime that rules the
city, with the consent of the voters, as shown in the recent cleo
ton, dominates every local interest and makes it a contributory
factor in politics. The traction interests could be bankrupted by
the hostility of the ring. As it is, they are made to pay dear for
the privilege of doing business, and, as a result, the stockholders
get little for their investment. The thousands of employees have
been used i'll the political game and fed with hopes that could not
be realized. The police force is packed with political heelers, most
of them incompetent, and it was shown yesterday that it was
utterly unable to cope with a trouble that in its inception the New
York police would have considered a picnic" There had been
plenty of warning of the strike, and when it came the police de
partmentp proved a failure. But the people of Philadelphia, who
are the real victims, may reflect that, as the makers of their local
government, they are really responsible for present conditions.
They elected as Mayor a man entirely unworthy, they committed
to two other men an autocratic power in the city government, they
ousted from Office every magistrate who had q conscience, they
condoned, and even indorsed, acts of government that no other city
wod1d tolerate. All the miseries Philadelphia has endured and
still is enduring are of the peoples making. II the city. was a
private corporation there would every reason to put it into the
hands of q receiver.
