MEXICAN POTTERY.
Primitive Methods of the Skilled
Workmen of Durango.
Practically all the |K>ttery used in
the Durango section of Mexico, from
the tiniest teacup to the largest flower
pot. Is fashioned by hand from Durau- i
go clay. There are about twenty such
factories iu the city, employing from
live to fifty meu each. The clay used
in this ludustry is obtained from tbe
base of Durango's famous iron Moun
tain. one mile north of the city.
The vessels are all fashioned by hand
sud foot power. Tbe only Instrument
used is a large wooden wheel, through
tbe axis ot which passes a pole about
three feet In length, terminating at
the other extremity in a small wooden
wheel set parallel to the big wheel.
The operator sits so that he may turn
the large wheel (set horizontally near
the floor so that it will move freely)
with bis foot, which in turn causes
the little wheel above, on a level with.
his chest, to revolve very rapidly. A
convenient sized lump of the clay
dough is placed upon this little wheel,
and as the mass revolves by the Im
pulse of the laborer's foot, he hollows
out and fashions the vessel.
The skill and dexterity of these work
men Is little short of remarknble.
With only the eye to guide, he fash
ions with astonishing rapidity vessels
which do not differ one from the other
in either size or shape. A single la
borer is able to complete about thirty
six dozen Jars of nearly a quart ca
pacity in a dny.—Argonaut.
LIGHT AND THE EYES.
Glaring or Dazzling Effects May Re
sult In Permanent Injury.
In a paper read before the Interna
tiouul Exposition of Safety and Sanita
tion in New York city G. II. Stickney
called attention to tbe fact that tha
most common defect in lighting is ex
cessive glare and absence of diffusion.
Glare may emanate directly from the
light source or be reflected to the eye
by a glossy surface; it can also be
caused wherever excessive contrast of
Intensity appears in adjacent fields of
visiou. The dazzling effect is unpleas
ant and interferes with seeing. Under
continued exposure eye strain and
even permuueut injury to the eye may
result.
An unshielded light bung over a ma
chine is a common source of eye fa
tigue. The glare may not be so evi
dent on first glance, but when the
workman's eyes have been subjected
to such light for a long time discom
fort Slid inability to see result.
Glare from glazed paper, desk tops
or polished metal often induces eye
trouble, headache nnd other indisposi
tion. though the sufferers may not be
aware of the cause. The remedy is to
change the relative positions so that
the reflected light is kept out of the
eyes as much as possible and to en
targe the dimensions of the light source ;

ONE VIEW OF SLEEP.
Llkantd to tha Freezing of Water In a
Pond or Bowl.
The approach of sleep is much like
the freezing of water in poud or bowl.
Faint spieuhie dart from the sides;
motes iiud dots, barely perceptible,
swim in the midst. One might imagine
the process not less grateful to the long
unsheltered mere than to the merely
longing liraiu. for as the one desires
for the time being to be defended from
that thought which is its own com- '
poueut essence, so might the other
seek a coat proof against the plunge
of an ieicle, formed of a like element
Slight agitation, applied with judg
ment will help tile matter on. The In- |
troductlou of a finger will sometimes i
change a bowl of congealing water to
a solid mass. A bit of ice slid in at
the proper moment will help on the
water's freezing, and so will thinking
on your latest dream help to induce
slumber. -
Transparent nnd cold as are ice and
sleep nothing will keep brain nnd
water safer nnd warmer. All glances
from them nnd naught stirs up mud
or mood. The parallel holds to the
last, for nothing can more resemble
the rude nwakeulng of a slumber than
the suddcu breaking of ice. and noth
lug is more like a gradual and pleasant
wakening than the melting thaw
where beginning nnd end are alike in
discernible.—C. E. D. Thelps in “A
Farmer’s Notebook.”
BALANCING BOWLDERS.
Two of These Natural Curiosities
Sway In the Berkshires.
For many years otjji of the greatest
natural curiosities in Berkshire county
and which In earlier and later years
has been visited by armies of the cu
rious is Balauce rock, four miles north
of Pittsfield and near the south line of
Lanesboro.
This great marble bowlder is now
of a deep brown color and is scarred
and riven by the storms of centuries
It is thirty feet high, fifteen feet wide
and is so wonderfully poised on a few
feet at its base as to tremble at the
slightest touch.
It weighs many hundreds of tons and
resembles from several points of view
a huge egg, a blacksmith's forge and
the back of an elephant It resembles
no rock to be found on the Taconic
mountain range or its foothills, near
which latter It stands in spbinxlike
grandeur and silence.
It is not generally known that there
is another balance rock in Berkshire
about of equal interest with that in
Lanesboro. It is on the highest point
of the Monument mountain, where it
slopes toward the east, and is 700 feet
above the river at the village of Housa
tonic. Its estimated weight is over 100
tons.—Pittsfield (Mass.) Cor. New York

A Daring Skater.
Shortly after the tight at Jena in
1S06 Napoleon dispatched an officer to
Marshal Mortier requiring him to seize
certain important towns without de
lay. When the officer arrived at the
mouth of the Elbe, where the river is
seven and one-half miles wide, he was
threatened with serious loss of time.
The river was just covered with ice.
therefore to row over was out of the
question. He could not cross by the
nearest bridge without going twenty
miles out of bis way on roads heavy
with snow. So be resolved to skate
across the thin, freshly formed Ice.
Had be tried walking he would have
sunk at once, but by skimming along
on his skates at the top of his speed he
got over the river both dry and un
harmed. By this daring deed he saved
six hours, did what Napoleon bade him
do and won great credit for his bold
and clever exploit

To Illustrate tile bullet resisting pow

papers and a Bible, each of which on

in the letter he had expressed the

GOOD ROADS AND THRIFT.
France Sets an Example the Rest of
the World Might Follow.
Good fhrnis nud good roads go to
gether. Good roads mean cheaper haul
ing prices, better profits—therefore
more money. The wealth of a nation
is the wealth of its population. Tim
population of the country of France is
known to be the most thrifty, tile least
poverty stricken and the best provided
for of any country in the world. And
France has a better road system and
more good roads in proportion to its
area than any other country of tlio
same or greater size. Has France ru
ral wealth because of its good roads or
has it good roads because of its thrifty
peasantry?
it is, therefore, for us In tills country
to look upon France not only us a good
example, but as the example of the
fulfillment of dreams. We cannot
solve our problem in any other way
than as France lias solved tiers with
any surety of success. She builds her ’
national highways first, owns them,
controls them, repairs them. She lias
her departments—ber divisions corre
sponding to our states—build their own
roads as feeders of this system, con
necting with it. joining national road
to national road. Finally her parishes
or communes—similar political divi
sions to our counties—build their own
roads, interlacing, connecting and bind
ing together the whole into oue vast
network of bard surfaced roads.—Sub

Microscopic Handwriting.
It is possible to possess a certain ele
gance of penmanship and yet be al
most undecipherable as a writer. A
distinguished literary man. whoso
name I mercifully withhold, writes a
microscopically small band, almost
fairylike in its outlines and possess-*
ing a quite elfin elusiveness—almost
every word can be read as some other
word. Waggish friends who received
from him letters on commonplace mat
ters would sometimes affect to regard
them as descriptions of bis exciting
adventures In the Alps, the burning
down of bis bouse or something simi
larly sensational and reply according
ly. After being long the subject of
such merry jests be decided to silence
the scoffers by using a typewriter.—

An Embarrassing Moment.
Sir Edward Chandos I.eigli tells this
anecdote in “Bar. But and Hit.” it
was told to him by the Dowager Lady
Cowper apropos of the days when all
the joints were carved on the table:
She was a debutante, very shy, and
her old host, who was about to carve
a sirloin of beef, turned to her and
said, “Lady Anne, will you have upper
or under?" Lady Cowper said to mo
that she hud not the least idea what
he meant, so In a weak moment she
hazarded "upper." Whereupon the
host turned to the butler and said in
a loud voice, "Take it away and turn
It. Young ladies give u great deal of
trouble nowadays."
