THE METHODIST ORPHANAGE

The Methodist church is maintain
ing an orphanage at Enterprise, on
Lake Monroe. They have Is acres
of land and beautiful place. We
now have 45 orphans in the home,
being well cared for and educated.
The orphanage is supported by an
assessment raised upon each church
in the conference, which is barely suf-
fcient to pay the matrons and feed
the children and pay running ex-
penses. Most of the orphans fare
clothed by individual gifts from Sun
day school classes. We have had to
borrow money to erect building and
we are in need of gifts in money or
clothing, or groceries. Yesterday
was orphanage gift day in our church
and Sunday school. It was such a
rainy day that our superintendent,
Mr.. L. w. Duval and others, decided
to postpone the day for gifts until
next Sunday, and at Sunday school
and church next Sunday you are
asked to make a donation for this
noble institution that takes children
regardless of denomination. Will you
not remember the orphanage in your
prayers and gifts this Christmas?

The merchants of our city have
been pretty good sports this year.
They started in to giving the summer
half-holiday earlier than usual. and
have beside closed their stores on
several extra occasions-on armistice
day and Thanksgiving they closed all
day, and they also gave half-holidays
on various occasions and closed their
stores time or two when distin-
guished speakers were in town. Sons
of them are going to keep their
stores shut all day Christmas, and
we hope they will all do so. The town
gains by every exhibition of public
spirit and neighborly sentiment, and
the individual never loses anything
when the community all acts to-
gether. The people like the merch-
ant who is good sport and kind to
his clerks and they always see to it
that he loses no money when the
years returns are in. Let all our
merchants close for Christmas and
send the Star word Iearly tomorrow
that they intend doing so.

FOsTERED BY FRENCH KING
Famous Sevres Ware Had its Begin
ming When II FzvoYabIy Attracted
Attention Of Louis.

Early In the eighteenth century the
manufacture of rather artificiallook-
ing porcelain was begun at Rouen,
France. At ChGntil1y, about the year
1725. porcelain was made which imi-
tated the Imari ware Of Japan. Some
15 years later another factory was es-
tablished at Vincennes, and now comes
the beginning Of. the famous Sevres.
1t was In the year 1853, so historiane
interested in this subject tell us, that
the king, Louis XIV, who for the past
five years had been making donations
for the carrying on o. the work, al-
lowed the adjective royal to be add
ed to the name Of the work, and grant
ed the use Of two interlaced LIS as
q trademark. In order to keep q
record Of the porcelain made in diff
ferent years, scheme Of lettering
was arranged which, to the initiated,
would tell the tale. For example, an
A in the space between the two LIS
signifled that the piece Of porcelain
thus marked was made In that year in
which the king began to take an active
interest in the work, 1853. Three
years later the factory was removed
from Vincennes to Sevres, and 1t 3
there that one may visit 1t today, over
in one corner of the beautiful park
Of st. Cloud, not far from the Seine.
And. In 1850, the king took 1t over
as state industry. to be managed
henceforth as such.
Now, 1t happened that the making
of porcelain appealed to Madame de
Pompadour, and she did everything In
her power to bring the Sevres prod
uct up to the highest possible artistic
standard, to popularize the ware at
court and throughout the country. and
even throughout the whole Of Europe.
Among the beautiful colors which were
employed in this ware, one Of the love-
Hest was named for her, the rose
Pompadour."

DEFINITION OF DOG DAYS
May Not Be Strictly Orthodox, But IL
Surely Covers the Ground
Most Thoroughly.

We don't know whether there are
dog days, according to the almanac.

Several years have passed since we

or something. Life is serious enough
without delving into astronomy for
useless information.
Dog star or no dog star, dog days
are days when one does nothing more
worth while all afternoon than write

he has been in dogs age, to sleep like

tired.

labor one would, did happy opportun-

Ocala has an opportunity to secure
something that will be of consider
able advantage to the community.
The state government intends to
build a new hospital for the white in
sane, and wishes to locate it some
where in East or South Florida We
are reliably informed that the COM
mittee appointed to select a site is
inclined toward Ocala and
if our people would make an effort
they could very likely have it located
here. We are aware that a good
many people are prejudiced toward
an insane asylum and would rather
not have it in their town. There is
no reason for this. Milledgeville in
Georgia and Tuscaloosa in Alabama
are two of the incest towns in the
South, of the "old South" at that,
yet each has its state asylum near it.
The location of the asylum near
Ocala would be of great material adj
vantage to the town. The present
asylum near Chattahoochee spends
from twenty to twenty-five thousand
dollars a month for supplies. If the
white asylum was located near our
town, it would mean in the first
place the largest sum of money spent
yet for any one building operation,
then steady trade of ten or fifteen
thousand dollars for our people every
month. There are a number of good
sites for an asylum near the city, and
our people could very well afford to
buy one and make present of it to
the state in order to have the institu-
ton established near here.
