ORIENTAL LACQUER.
Japan Got the Art From China, Then
Surpassed Her Tutor.

SufPdSSSO E7ST IUCOTs
Lacquer has furnished a most varied
material for one of the earliest indus
trial arts of China, and, though there
are no authentic records of its origin
nor of the steps of its early develop
ment, the process is already called an
ancient one in work published in
1887, in the first year of the Ming Pc
Rod, which proves that the art was
known in as remote an epoch as the
Sung dynasty. The eliminating years
of its development were reached in the
reign of the Emperor Chen Lung Q736
95), who greatly encouraged its manu-
facture and had large quantities Of
lacQuered objects made with which to
furnish and decorate his palace. After
his death the art seems to have de.
clined in merit. and since that time lit
tie or nothing of any high artistic value
in Chinese lacquer has been accom-
plished.
The japanese first learned the proc
ess from China, but have since brought
it to a point of perfection which sur
passes the finest productions of the
Chinese. In Japan, however, lacquer is
applied solely to objects of compare
lively small size, while in the Chinese
empire 1t served to decorate screens
and panels Of tremendous dimensions.
Lacquer is divided into two classes
painted and carved lacquer. Both kinds
are sometimes inlaid with mother-of-
pearl, ivory, jade and various semi
precious stones.
1t was in the early seventeenth CEN
fury, when Holland and Portugal be-
gan their trade with the remote east,
and particularly with China, that mar.
velous empire teeming with so many
extraordinary artistic manifestations,
that Europe first began to realize the
new and vast field of decorative ele-
ments which were contained in and re-
vealed to her artists by oriental art

AYR, N. D., MARRIED
MAN HAS TROUBLES
Accused Of Crime by Both State
and Federal Authorities.

Aye, N. D., May 7%.-Charged in the
state courts with a statutory offense
and by the Federal officials with a vio-
lation of the Mann act, Cecil Peterson,
a local elevator man, is having con-
siderable litigation.
Some weeks ago, on the charge of
Lillian Holmquist, II years old, he
was placed under bonds by the state
authorities, and following that charge
the Federal officials brought the 9TH
or. On the hearing of the latter case,
the girl testified to having accompan-
led Peterson to St. Paul Dec. 4, 1914,
and that they remained in the same
room in a hotel. Peterson apparently
proved an alibi that he was in Ayr on
that date and had checks and business
transactions of record in his hand
writing in addition TO the testimony
Of a number Of witnesses. His alibi
was so strong that a further hearing
was taken till May 13 to enable the
United States district attorney to con-
tinue his Investigations.
Peterson is a married mar and has
been an agent for an elevator COM
pany here for some time.

Cautiously enough, more boys
thought they were ill with some seri-
GUS organic defect, usually OF the
heart, and were found to be entirely
sound than boys who thought they
were we'll and had disease. In many
instances boys were worrying over
ailments that were purely fanciful.
but this worry vas having a consid-
