The great reputation which old
English china gained for itself in
Europe and America in the late
Eighteenth and early Nineteenth
centuries is due largely to the
charm of its useful wares. BY USE
full wares we mean the services of
china made for table use, states
Alice r. Rollins in the Los Angeles
Times. Entire services, with all the
pieces decorated to match, were not
common until well after the middle
of the Eighteenth century. Many
of the factories producing them
have long since passed out of exist
ence.. Such examples as have sur
vived add pleasure or regret to the
collector, according to his ability to
classify or obtain them.
Other services were the produc-
tions of famous potters whose
names have been associated with
them by reason of some special
form of decoration which is unique.
This, together with an original linn
tied production, has made them
rare and desired by those collectors
who like something out Of the ordi-
nary. In this connection we men,
ton the unusual Mocha" ware,
first produced by the English pot
ter, William Adams of Tunstall.
One of the best-known names
among English potters is that Of
Adams. The family had long been
engaged in the potting industry and
had made many notable improve
ments in the manufacture of such
wares. William Adams (1745-1805)
was considered the most important
member of this talented family. He
was a close friend of Josiah Wedg-
wood and worked for him as pupil
and associate. He began potting for
himself about 1887 at Greengates,
in Tunstall.

The Garden of Eden

On the supposition that the Gar
den of Eden narrative in Genesis
describes a real country, any num-
ber Of efforts have been made to
establish its location, and many
books have been written on the SUBJ
ject, often widely disagreeing. Some
have located Eden near the town of
Kornah, in southern Babylonia, not
far from the Persian gulf. This is
at the junction of the Tigris and
Euphrates rivers, in what is now
the British mandatory kingdom of
Iraq. Others have placed the Gar
den in Armenia, near the sources
of these rivers. The region near
Damascus, in Syria, has also been
suggested; and some extremists
have argued that it was in Amer
lea, or Australia, or at the North
Pole. The general opinion is that
the description in the second chap
ter of Genesis refers to southern
Babylonia.

Priests as Firernen

In 1705, King Louis XIV Of France
founded the Paris fire brigade.
Forty firemen formed the first bri-
gade, and they were recruited from
workmen used to doing their jobs
high above the ground. A number
of years later, an auxiliary fire bri-
gade was formed for the guarding
of Paris. This was composed of
four companies of priests. The
great bell of the cathedral Of Notre
Dame was used as a fire warning.
On one occasion, when there was a
big fire at the famous hospital of the
Hotel Dieu (Which adjoins Notre
Dame), 20 of these firemen-priests
were burned to death in trying to
rescue the patients.

Baby Otter, Badger and
Other Animals Like Plav

Most playful of all wild creatures
are offers, for even when full grown
they cannot resist anything in the
shape of a ball that floats. Baby
badgers romp together, putting
out their fur until they look like
black and white balls, then bounc-
ing round and round on their short
stiffened legs. A favorite game is
for one to mount a fallen tree, and
its companions to try to pull it
down, relates Oliver G. Pike, F. z.
S., in London Tit-Bits Magazine.
Young polecats play similar
game, but are far more graceful.
AS they prance around, their slender
backs are arched, and they look
most attractive in their rich dark
brown glossy fur. Badgers, pole
cats, stoats, and weasels have very
little method in their play, unlike
the organized games of the otter.
doubt if anyone has ever detect
ed play among fish, or seen liz
ards or snakes indulging in games.
All these are cold blooded and are
only active when the temperature
is warm enough to give them an
interest in life.
The play Of foxes will often turn
to tragedy so far as the farmer is
concerned, for if they get among
fowls they will kill one for food
then, like. puppies, chase everything
that moves. If the birds had the
sense to keep still the fox might
pass them by, but he will slaughter
them by the dozen while they con-
tinue to run.

STATEMENT FROM LICENSE
BOARD
Elkton, Md.
June %. 1889

June ZS, 1889
The Editor,
The Midland Journal -
Rising Sun, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
/ notice in your issue of June
23rd, in an article headed estate
License Board Holds Hearings, that
your last sentence is:
"The decision in regard to Mrs.
Jenness' license was withheld for
further conference with the Local
Board, which was not present at the
hearing.
/ wish to call your attention,
first of all, to the fact that this
statement is an error; that the State
License Bureau, which passes on ap-
peals from the Board of License
Commissioners of Cecil County, did
not and cannot confer with the Local
Board in making their decisions.
The reason for the with
holding of a decision by the
Bureau in the Jenness case was that
Mr.. McSherry, the legal member of
the Bureau, was not present at the
hearing, and there was a legal
question involved on which his
opinion was desired before a de-
cision was made
When an appeal goes from the
Local Board to the State License
Bureau, it is in similar nature to
an appeal from the Circuit Court
for Cecil County TO the Court of
Appeals of Maryland Under no cir
cumstances would it be proper or
necessary for a Judge of the Circuit
Court to be present when an appeal
from his decision was argued in An
napolis, before the Court of Appeals,
and, similarly, it is not at all neces-
sary for the Board of License Com
missioners of Cecil County, or its
representative, to be present when
an appeal from their decision is be-
ing argued. When the Local Board
decides a question, and an appeal is
taken from their decision, the Board
has no further action to take in the
matter, as it has passed completely
beyond the Boards jurisdiction. In
other words, the Local Board has
nothing whatever to do with an ap-
peal form it's decision.
/ will thank you to publish this
letter.
Very respectfully yours
G. Reynolds Ash
Attorney for the Board of License
Commissioners Of Cecil County.

Deem and shallow water

Provided there is sufficient water
to float the body, the depth Of wa
ter makes no difference to the SWIM
mer, its buoyancy being the same
in both cases. The popular belief
that swimming is easier in deep
water is incorrect, though perhaps
the mental effect has some infiu-
ence. A person swimming IN shall
low water knows that on the least
fatigue he may stop SWIMMING and
stand on the bottom; In deep water
he knows he cannot do this but must
exert himself to swim well and un-
der these circumstances 1t may
seem easier to him.

Ants May Be Controlled

Summer brings problems as well
as pleasures and not the least of
the problems is the ordinary black
and red ant which moves in upon
the average household at this sea-
son of the year. According to DR..
George S. Langford, specialist in In
sect Control for the University of
Maryland Extension Service, these
insects are chiefly attracted by
sweet foods and meats and may be
controlled in a number of ways.
If the nest can be located by fol-
lowing the trail of the workers to
the point of disappearance, the in
mates may be destroyed by injectin
little carbon bisulphide, Kerosene,
or gasoline into the nest by means
of an oil can or small syringe. Still
another method is to punch several
small holes in the nest or mound
with hoe handle, place about 2
tablespoonfuls of the liquid in each
hole and close the opening with
moist earth.
Ants in the garden, lawn or home
may be controlled with poison bats
or mixtures, although it takes long
er to effect control by this method.
One easily prepared and inexpensive
ant poison can be made with l quart
of water, 1 pound of sugar, 125
grains of arsenite of soda and rs
grains of tartaric acid. These ma
terials should be boiled together un-
til the arsenite of soda has dis
solved Honey added to the mixture
will make it more attractive.
The poison sirup should be plac-
ed in small container which has
had holes punched, in it; water
proofed pill boxes, clean tin salve
boxes, or even small mayonnaise
jars make good containers. The pill
boxes are waterproofed with hot
parafin on the inside. A sponge or
little excelsior placed in the con-
tainer will help the ants to reach
the sirup and escape with their load
of poison. This is weak poison and
will be taken by most house-fre-
Quenting ants.
Some times the little red ant will
not take the poison bait, in which
case mixture of l pint of water, l
pound of sugar, ounces of honey,
27 grains of Thallium sulfate and
Is grains of Tartaric acid will be
found effective This mixture
should be brought to boil while STIR
ring vigorously.
1t also happens that the large
black ant will not feed on the bait
and DR.. Langford suggests using
piece of ham rind, scored on the in
side and covered with poison sirup.
busting sodium douride around the
entrance places, base boards or
crevices is frequently effective in
preventing entry of these ants.
In all cases, it should be remem-
bered that these materials are pois-
onous to pets and human beings and
should be properly labeled and kept
under lock and key. 1t should be
remembered also that carbon BIZ
sulphide, kerosene or gasoline are
inflammable and are injurious to
the roots of plants. DR.. Langford
emphasizes that it is we'll to have
a druggist weigh out the exact
amount of the ingredients to be
used, but, if you compound the pois-
on yourself, make sure to clean all
utensils thoroughly.
