The Secret a Glaze That Permeate * the Ware. The peachblow porcelain is of Chinese manufacture , and is about 300 years old. It is not , as is some times supposed , the designation of a particular shade of color , but a rare and peculiar glaze , which not merely coTers the surface of the vessel , but penetrates the entire texture of the article , so that if the same be broken the internal structure is identical with that of the surface. The method by which this result is reached is un known , and much money has been ex pended in vain to discover it The ware is , in a sense , therefore , the re sult of a happy accident. Specimens of it are rare in China to-day , where it is prized as highty as anywhere else. Most of that of which there is definite knowledge was taken from China by the Dutch in the days when they monopolized the trade with that country , and from Holland has made its way over Europe. The specimens in this country have al most all of them come either from Holland direct , or by way of France , whither pieces > of it were-early carried by the Dutch , arousing unusual inter est among the French potters. . $50,000,000 IN MATCHES. Value of the Yearly Output of European factories. The oldest and it is said the largest match manufactory in the world is in Sweden. Matches were made there long before the old , roughly trimmed splinter of wood tipped with sulphur was discarded with the tinder boxes , for which they were used. In twenty- five years the export trade 'of Sweden in modern matches increased 1,000- 000,000 boxes a year. Some of the machines for making matches which we use in these days make 200 revolutions a minute each and turn out about 2,500,000 matches daily. Rather more than five matches per head for the whole population are used daily in the United States. Strange to say , the quality of these Swedish matches , in many cases , is so bad that the state intends to resume the manufacture , and computes that the profits will produce a revenue of $1,000,000. Altogether there are in Europe about 50,000 factories , and they yearly pro duce matches valued at $30,0000,000. Binding Religious Persons. The practice of binding religious persons still exists in India , as is evi denced by the following from the Alllahabad , India , Pioneer. The inci dent occurred recently at Meerut : ' 'A fakir , wearing nearly five maunds (400 ( pounds ) of iron chains and bands on him , recently left the cantonment sta tion. The railway authorities de clined to allow him to travel as a pas senger , but sent him as goods by weight , in spite of his argument that native women were never charged for their anklets and bangles. The iron absorbed the heat so much that the man had to be incessantly sprinkled with water. He is an old man and nearly died at the station. " An Appropriate Prayer. A reverend gentleman tells this story of a little boy : The boy was tired from a hard day's play , and when he retired he was too sleepy to say his goodnight prayer. His mother bried in vain to have him say it , and anally sent the father in. He found * the boy just sinking into a tired sleep , and demanded that he should get up and say his prayer. The little fellow arose wearily , sank down upon his mees by the bedside and began : " 0 , dear Lord ! please make papa say his prayers when he's as tired as I am. Amen. " Utilizing Slag. The quantity of heat wasted by slag las suggested projects for utilizing it n raising steam , but nothing practical has been obtained until recently. At a mine in New South Wales the molten slag is run into the bottoms of iron chambers that can withstand internal steam pressure , and jets of water are 'orced on the slag. In a short time ihe chambers are filled with steam that can be utilized in other parts of the works. A Now York Dog Official. The New Vork gas works board of directors recently appointed a dog as assistant supcriituu-t- of its works and a truly ei'i.- > it . i-er he is.

When a marriage takes place in Italy in a princely family the bride and groom , after the religious cere- mbny , present themselves to the pope to receive his benediction. Then the young couple , in wedding costume proceed to St. Peter's alone , and , cneeling on the bare flags before the statue of the "Prince of the Apostles , " pray. A Gift of Slaves. A short time ago the Moorish Kaidj gave the sultan of Morocco and hi * son a present of 200 male and f emata slaves to celebrate the event of th marriage of the heir to the Moorish throne.
