In the royal manufactory of pottery at Meissen, Snxouy. the work was for merly carried ou wltti the utmost se crecy to prevent :he processes from becoming kuuwo elsewhere. The es tablishment was a complete fortress, the portcullis of wblcu was not rulsed day or iilyht. uo stranger belnj; per mitted to enter fur any purine what ever. Every worUnuin, even the chief Inspector, was sworn to silence. This injunction wns formally repented every mouth to the superior otlleers employ ed, while the workmen had constantly before their eyes In lnrne letters tho warning motto, '"Be Secret Unto Death." It was well known that any person divulging the process would be imprisoned for life in the castle of Koenlgstelu. Even the king himself when be took strangers of distinction to visit the works wns enjoined to se crecy. One of the foremen, however, escaped and assisted In establishing a manufactory In Vienna, from whlcb the secrets spread all over Germany. Htr Diamond Nacklaea. Brown is a very careful man.

Some three years before the Franco German war broke out Count Secken dorCf accompanied King William I. on his visit to Napoleon III. and wns present at the celebrated dejeuner giv en In the Pavilion de Piano at Fon talneblenu. King William, who was sitting next the empress, was asked by her to pass the salt, and In comply ing with this request he threw a little salt over bis shoulder. Upon the em press exclaiming, "Wby do you do that?" the king explained that in his country it was the custom to do so when passing the salt to ward off bnd luck and any chance of a quarrel. The empress in a prettily turned speech at once replied. "But surely there Is no danger of anything interfering with our friendship." In less than three years the Germans bad crossed the Rhine. London Spectator. Why Not Pats tha Plata? They ought to piss the plate at church weddings. It comes natural to do it In church, and to do so would add a pretty and useful employment to the duties of the ushers, who always have a little spare time before the bride arrives. And, really, getting married is more expensive than ever, and, though wedding presents are ex cellent in their way, what the young people usually need the most is cash. Instead of the list of gifts which the newspapers sometimes print we should rend. "The collection yielded $4,000, 000." That would be nice. It Is much easier to store and care for money than plate and glass! And money al ways tits and there is no such thing as an embarrassing duplication of dollars. -Life. H Saved tha Patent Office. When in the war of 1812 the British, who had taken Washington, trained their guns upon the patent otuee, Dr. Thornton, throwing himself directly before the guns, cried: "Are you Englishmen or Goths and Vandals? This Is the patent oQlcea depository of the Ingenuity and inven tions of the American nation, in which the wbolo civilized world is Interested. Would you destroy It? Then let the charge pass through my body." And the building wns spared. Twenty-four years afterward, however, It was destroyed by fire, together with everything In It. The Harm of Damp Houses. It is dangerous, to health hud even to life in a damp, moldy house or one built over a moldy cellar. Many years ngo the London Lnncet in on article on diphtheria traced the disease" in certain eases to tho presence of cer tain molds mid fungoid growths which seemed to be breathed into the throat. Remember, one of the best disinfec tants Is lime. Moldy cloths, such as shoes and other articles that are unfit for use, should be destroyed at once. Why Ha Applauded. "Are you foud of music?" asked a stranger of the young man nt the con cert who was applauding vigorously after a pretty girl had sung a song In a very painful way. "Not particularly," replied the young man frankly, "but I am extremely fond of the nnislplnn." Out of Her Reach. "Does your heart ever reach out for the unattainable?"

"Clyde Fitch was an Indefatigable worker," said an actor who has played In many of the Fitch comedies. "NY lieu he bad a play on the stocks he would labor over It day and night, often scarcely pausing for bis meals and getting very little sleep: consequent ly bis health suffered, lie would work until on the verge of a nervous break down, and then his physician would 6tep in and force him to kuock oil. "During one of these periods of en forced idleness he was lounging in the Players club one day when Harry 11. Smith, the prolific comic opera libret tist, strolled in. '"What nre you doing now?' asked Smith. " '1 am In my doctor's hands.' replied Fitch. 'He tells me I'm In a bad way and has absolutely forbidden me to do any brain work.' "'That's tough,' said Smith. 'How do you manage to put In the time?' "Oh, I'm writing the libretto of a musical comedyT replied Fitch, with one of his cynical smiles." New Vork Times. Hair Monstrosities. French theater managers in the eighteenth century bad worse evils than picture bats to contend against. Marie Antoinette, who was short even according to French standards, set the fashion of high coiffures, and ultra fashionable women prided themselves on measuring four feet from their chins to the tops of their heads. These structures took about six hours to erect, the hairdresser mounting a ladder In the process. Some coiffures were almost as broad as they were long, with wings sticking out about eight inches on each side of the bead. For the "frigate" coiffure the hair was rippled in n huge pile to represent tho waves of an angry sea and surmount ed by a fully rigged ship. As a con sequence of these monstrosities dis turbances in theaters occurred almost daily until an ordinance wns issued against the admlssiou of women with high coiffures to the floor of the house. Chicago News. Yet He Meant Well. Just as the train was leaving the Fifty-eighth street elevated station a man who had got off there hurried along the platform and spoke to a pas senger sitting by an open window In the smoking car. "Quick!" he cried. 'Tlease hand me that package. I left it on the seat when I got out Just now." "Sure," snld the passenger, picking up the bundle and tossing it out of the window. "Thanks!" "riey. there! What are you doing that for?" demanded tho wrathful, red faced man sitting next to him. "Why. be"- "You double dyed idiot, that package belonged to me! It was $15 worth of laces and ribbons I was taking home to my wife!" Over the scene that followed let us draw a veil. Chicago Tribune. "All Things Coma." The magnate looked up impatiently from his work. "Well, my good man," he snnpped at the diffident rural person who stood twirling his rusty hat, "what can 1 do for you ?" "I guess ye don't remember me. Uank," faltered the caller. "But you an' me use ter go swimmln' together In th" ol" town. Then you got a Job In th' bank, an' I got a Job In th' gro cery store." "This Is all very interesting, and 1 seem to remember your face. But c6mo to the point my time Is valu able." "Yes. Ilnnk. You got a better offer and left the old village. I stayed plug ging along In th' grocery store." "Well, well?" "Well. Uank, when you left you owed $73.02 on a grocery bill. Here's where you pay up!" Cleveland Leader. Perfumee In Ancient Days. Old as the history of the world Itseli is that of the queen of flowers. The auclent Greeks and Romans reveled In roses. They were used lavishly at their feasts. In the time of the republic the people bad their cups of Faleruian wine swimming with blooms, and the Spartan soldiers after the battle of Clrrha refused to drink any wine that wns not perfumed with roses, while at the regatta of Baiae the whole surface of the Lucrine lake was strewn with flowers. Making a Lawn, On his Eugllsh tour un American was admiring the velvety smoothness of a certain sward, and. being pos sessed of land and an overpowering confidence that with money all things are possible, be asked the bead gar dener how to produce such a lawn. And the gardener said: "It's easy enough, sir. All you need do is to remove nil the stones, plow up the ground, plant it with grass seed and roll it for aoo years." Our Friends.

An English olllcer who some years ago was wounded lu n battle In India and left lying nil uight among the na tive dead and wounded tells this story: Next morning we spied a man and an old woman, who came to us with a bnsket and u pot of water, and to every wounded man she gave a piece of Joaree bread from the basket nnd n drink from her water pot. To us she gave tne same, and I thanked heaven nnd her. But the Soobnhdnr was a high caste Kajnut. nui. as this worn an was a Chuiuar. or of the lowest enste. he would receive neither v.atei nor bread from her. I tried to per sunde him tn take it that he might live, but he said that In our state, with but a few hours more to linger, what was n little more or less suffering t' us why should he give up bis fate for such an object? No; be preferred to die unpolluted." The Origin of Oxygen. That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin maintained that, all the oxygen In the atmosphere probably originated from the action of sunlight upon plants When our earth was a globe of hot liquid It contained no vegetable fuel and probably no free oxygen. But as it cooled off plants appeared on Its surface, and these began to evolve oxygen through the medium of the sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus de rived we depend for the maintenance of life by breathing. When we burn coal or other vegetable fuel we use up oxygen, and it Is to plants again that we owe the restoration of the oxygen thus lost to the air. If they failed to keep up u sufficient supply the atmos phere would gradually part with Its oxygen, and the inhabitants of the earth would disappear in consequence of asphyxiation. In Westminster Abbey. Fox's tomb Is perhaps the most ridic ulous in the abbey, but others run It hard the naked figure of General Wolfe supported by one of his staff In full regimentals and receiving a :rown from Victory; William Wilber force apparently listening to Sheridan telling a comic tak and contorting his features in the endeavor not to laugh; the Sir Cloudesiey Shovel, In periwig and Roman toga, which excited the mirth even of contemporaries, and all the monuments erected by the East India company, with palm trees and other tropical exuberances, to tho memory of great soldiers, like Sir Eyre Coote. From the point of view of good taste a dictator would be Justified in dismissing these and many more to the stonemason's yard. Cornhlll Mag azine. How Pausanius Died. Fausanlus. the Greek general, died by self administered poison. When hotly pursued by those sent to appre-. hend him on a charge of treason and sacrilege he took refuge In the sanc tuary of a temple. Unable to remove him by force and also unwilling to violate the sanctuary, tho officers wall ed up tho entrance and began to un roof the building. When he could be seen they noticed that he wa9 chewing something which proved to be a quill filled with poison. By the time tho work had sufficiently advanced to ad mit of their entrance he was in a dy ing condition. Secret For Secret. In the days of Louis XIV. even war riors bandied epigrams with one an other. The Marechal de Grammont bad tak en a fortress by siege. "I will tell you a secret." said Its military governor after surrendering. "The reason of my capitulation was Ihut I bod no more powder." "And, secret for secret." returned the marechal suavely, "the reason of my accepting it on such easy terms was that I had no more balls." Not So Absurd. "How absurd!" "What's absurd?"
