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

Japan Got the Art From China Then
 Surpassed Her Tutor.
 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 a work published In 1887, in the first year of the Ming pe- riod, 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 ChIen Lung arse 95), who greatly encouraged It's manu- facture and had large quantities of .Iac0uered 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 It. 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 nave slnCe DrOuSAt 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 comPara- 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 inlald with mother-of- pearl, ivory, jade and various semi precious stones
 It was in the early seventeenth cen tury, when Holland and Portugal be- gan their trade with the remote east aud 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 Henry Coleman May in Scribners.

SHORT COURSES IN MINING
 AND FORESTRY OPEN JAN. 3

Short courses in forestry and min i~g will open at the University of Washington January 9, immediate ly alter the holidays. Both will be of an intensely practical na- turc, and are expected to attract, as usual. men who are engaged in ac- tuaI work in forest and mine.
 Dean lIuuor Roberts of the col Iega of mines anticipates an enroll mert ot about 50, an increase of a dozen over the attendance of last year. Dean Hugo Wiukeenwerder, of the college of forestry, expects about 30 students in the 12-weeks' scrm. Twenty enrolled in 1915.
 Special efforts have been made by both colleges to provide the maxi mum amount Of us&ble equipment, and the faculties will be at the pains to load" the shOrt-session students with needed information.
 A feature of the forestry in structigu will be a class in lumber and its uses, a new feature of the short session. This study is not offered by correspondence, at pres eat ;
 The separation of ores by the fl0taticu process is one of the new tricks of the mining craft that will be taught.

portunities exist for them at home.
The following is the story of his
work by Harvey Woodcock of Sand
gate, the 14-year-old winner of the
first prize in the potato contest:
"How Grew My Crop Of Potatoes,
When Mr. Whittier asked me 10
enter the contest and grow an
eighth acre of potatoes or one hair
acre OF corn, thought it would be
fun so course said | would, but papa
says you won't find it so much fun
before you are through with it.
And the first thing we did was TO
pace off what we thought would DO
one-eighth of an acre, but il was big
ger than ] thought il ought to be So
we got chain and measured off 20
square rods, and it still was more than
| thought could tend to, but as long
as | said | would try, ] would try.
Well the grass was green, and Well
started by this time as this was June
1, and grandfather said the hay
would bring more than the potatoes
that would get off the plot and | did
not know but it would, not having
done anything of the kind before.
Well, we drew two loads of manure
and spread it well over the ground
and plowed it under. the sods were
thick not having been plowed in n
% drau -
over twice, once each way to break
the sod, then marked it out one way.
We had the seed ready but it was the
leavings as we had planted all the
rest of our potatoes, in fact were all.
through planting when | concluded to
plant this piece; we planted the hills
quite close together, about IL inches
apart and it was very dry about this
time and ! thought they were never
going to come up. went to LOOK
about every day to see If they were
up. After they came through the
ground they grew fine, and when we
hoed them the tops were rank and a
while afterward they were five feet
high as they were to the top of my
head Then | would go to them real
often TO see il | could find any bugs
on them. They did not bother them
any to speak of as all got could
hold in one hand. And | did not
have to spray or bug them.
The tops stayed green until the
first frost, then we thought We had
better harvest the crop as they would
not ripen any more.
So on the sixth of October we be-
gun to dig them. and some OF our
neighbors were by the field as it was
by the road, and said you will have so
bushels on that piece if they turn out
like that Well. in the afternoon we
began to sort them and measure them
and were surprised to find we had so
bushels of market potatoes and only
three bushels of culls and most of
these were all right for table use ana
there not being any sale for them we
stored them in the cellar and they are
there yet.

French Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles The French
have for generations used a simple mix
ture of vegetable oils that relieve stom-
ach and intestinal ailments and keep the
bowels free from foul, poisonous mat
ter. The stomach is left to perform its
functions normally. Indigestion and
gastritis vanish.
Mr.. Geo. H. Mayr. leading druggist
Of Chicago, cured himself with this
remedy in a short time. The demand
is so great that he imports these oils
from France and compounds them under
the name of Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy. People everywhere write and tes-
tify TO the marvellous relief they have
received using this remedy-one dose
will rid the body of poisonous accretions
that have accumulated for years and
convince the most chronic sufferer from
stomach. liver or intestinal troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is sold by
leading druggists everywhere with the
positive understanding that your money
will be refunded without question or
bubble if ONE bottle fails to give you
absolute satisfaction.
