Ever since the year 1896, all the
fine porcelain used in Chinas royal
palaces has come from the King Teh
Cheng factory. The factory was part
ly destroyed and many of its choice
designs were divided among certain
revolutionists. Recently, the ancient
factory has received a grant OF $2U'-
600 and will again produce the rare
and beautiful porcelain for which II IL

Board OF Mediation and Cancellation

ees President Wilson will be asked
to use his personal influence to avert
q general strike. This statement was
made by O representative OF the rail-
road managers who have been nego-
tiating with the men since June for
q peaceful settlement.
The appeal to the President would
be the last resort and would be taken
only TO save the nation from the trade
paralysis that would follow q strike
OF the magnitude planned by the rail
road men.
Six hours after the railroad men
had served notice ON the men that
they would not withdraw their former
rejection OF the workers demands and
had proposed Federal mediation, the
mediators. and the managers were
closeted In secret session. Mediation
was suggested In lieu OF arbitration
under the Newlands act pr by the
Interstate Commerce Commission pro
posals which had been rejected by the
brotherhoods.
What was discussed ut the confer
ence could not be divulged by any Of
those attending II, under mediation
rules, but 1t was understood that the
railroad representatives outlined their
position In full and indicated how far
they were willing to GO In meeting the
demands Of the men. It was report
ed that the railroads stood steadfast-
~ for the main feature Of their 'con-
tingent proposition" made at the June
which conceded the short.
or day, but eliminated double com.
pensation for different classes OF ser.
vice during the same work day.
It was the failure Of the represen.
tatives OF the railroads and the unions
to agree on the double compensation
clause that brought the June confer
ence to q sudden end and resulted In
the strike vote.

Christmas
Cribs Of the
Tyrol

"HE Christmas cribs, showing the
first resting place Of the infant
Christ, which one sees occa-
sionally in the churches Of this
country are not to be compared with
those Of Europe, especially the remark
able ones made by the peasants of It
ally and of the Tyrol. In the latter
country there has been of recent years
decided revival of interest in these
groups representing the nativity of
Christ
1t is not unusual to see one with sew
eral hundred figures. Not alone the
birth Of the Saviour, but the alteration
of the shepherds, the arrival of the
kings with their soldiers and courtiers.
the flight into Egypt, Jesus in the tenn
pie, and even the marriage at Cana
are represented.
The TyroIs cribs have been famous
for centuries, and the people were just
ly proud of them until the spirit of
modern enlightenment" invaded the
land and crib building was denounced
as child's play. Enterprising antigua
rians and art sellers eagerly bought up
all the old cribs and then sold them at
good profit to tourists.
Many fine specimens have disappear
ed from the land, but fortunately a
few of the best were acquired by ma
tional museums. The best two Tyrol is
known to have had, the "Ursulinen-
krippe" of Innsbruck and the Moser
crib Of Bozen, are now in the Bavarian
National museum at Munich. A third,
the Jaufenthaler crib, is In the Vienna
museum.
Originally it belonged to a family in
Wilten, now a part of Innsbruck. It
contained 154 animal figures, "a build
ings and 256 human figures. It in
cluded solid woodcarvings, figures the
heads of which were wax and others
whose heads and limbs were movable.
Some Of these date back as far as the
year 100. Seven scenes were repre-
| scented.
The Moser crib of Bozen was much
more extensive. Moser's 'city'' was in
itself a masterpiece and included pal
aces, gushing fountains, monuments

city clocks striking the hours of the
| hight. 1t was valued at more than
$1,000 during Moser's lifetime.
The Ursulines' crib was particularly
| famous on account of the gorgeous
| dressing of the figures. The angels
were clad as courtiers Of heaven in
the rich court costumes of the seven
teenth century.
These masterpieces are now lost to
Tyrol. It can hardly cause surprise,
i then, that serious minded men began
to entertain grave fears for their re-

Everyone Cared for but the Children

Some day we expect to write a
book about Orleans. One chapter
will set forth how admirably the Ma
sons are taken care of; how well the
K. P.'s are provided for; what the
Orleans club does for it's members by
way of reading room, pool, billiards,
cards and music; how the churches
look out for their membership and
worshippers; how the woman's club,
the Canadian Circle and everybody,
except the ones who need care the
most, are taken care of. Then we
will write a chapter about the band
room in the opera house, closed sew
en- days a week, which ought to be
fitted up at public expense, SO that
the kids from eight to Is years of age
might have some place for amuse-
ment and manual training. We here
by suggest the idea to the Village
Improvement society and the Moth
ers' club, and we nominate Corporal
Clarence Cole and Mrs. Lillian Wood
bury to look after the amusements of
the boys and girls respectively.

How to Make These Delicious Sweet
meats In Your Kitchen.
If you wish pure, delicious marsh
mallows soak two tablespoonfuls of
graduated gelatin in ten tablespoon
fuls Of cold water until soft Pour ten
tablespoonfuls of boiling water over
two cupfuls Of sugar and boil until it
makes a strip which will form a thread
when dropped from a spoon. Remove
the strip from the fire and stir into it
the softened gelatin. Let stand until
cool, then add salt and f1avoring and
beat until it becomes stiff enough to
hold its own shape. Pour the candy
into granite pans busted with powder
ed sugar and let stand In a cool place
until set. Cut in cubes and roll in
powdered sugar.
Chocolate marshmallows are made
either by coating the plain marshmal-
lows with melted, unsweetened choco-
late or by adding melted chocolate to
the marshmallOW mixture before cook
ing. Chopped nuts or candied fruits
may be stirred into the mixture after
it has been removed from the fire. In
stead Of vanilla favoring fruit juice
may be used in place of part of the
water. Marshmallows are dainty and
attractive if rolled in grated cocoanut
before being coated with sugar.

naming works Of art. This fear had q
practical result in the formation Of
society whose object was to prevent in
future the reckless expectation and
selling of old cribs and to revive the
spirit that produced them.
Tyrolese cribs may be divided into
two general classes, the oriental type
and the Tyrolese. In the latter class
the crib owner takes it for granted
that Christ was born in Tyrol, hence
scenery, people and dress are purely
Tyrolese. In all the cribs the stable
Of Bethlehem is either the ruin of
castle according to legend, Christ first
saw the light Of day in the ruins, Of the
tower Of DAVID or a part of temple
to show that the stable of Bethlehem
was the first Christian temple, or else
it is a simple cave on the mountain
side.
The stable of Bethlehem and it's in
mates always remain the center Of the
great scene, the rest is merely the set
ting The crib means much to the
family After weeks of careful, pain
stalking labor everything is ready, but
the holy family is not there. After
supper on Christmas eve the parents,
domestics and children gather about
the crib, the gospel scene is read aloud,
and the little ones, quick to detect the
absence of the "Christkind," are told
that the holy family are still seeking a
shelter and finding none. The sadness
that at first expresses itself On their
innocent faces soon gives way to joy
as they recall that perhaps there is
room in their own home-at least they
emn church bells call all to mass, and
when the family returns, 10! there lies
the infant in the manger, while Mary
and Joseph kneel in humble alteration
at its side.
