FOSTERED BY FRENCH KING
Famous Sevres Wars Had Iti Begin.
. i nlna When It Favorably Attracted
Attention of Louis.
. . Early In tlio elRhteonth century the
manufacture of a rather artlflclnl-look-
,ine porcelain u na begun at notion,
France. At Chantllly, about the yo-ir
1T25, a porcelain was made which Imi
tated the Imart wnre of Japan. Some
15 years later another factory wan es
tablished at Vlncenncs, nnd now comes
, the beginning of the famous Sevres.
It was n the year .1753, so hlstorlnnr
Interested In this subject tell us, that
the king, Louis XV, who for the past
five years had been' making donations
for the carrying on of the work, al
lowed the adjective "royal" to bo add-'
. ed to the name of the work, and grant
ed the use of two Interlaced L's as
a trademark. In order to keep a
record of the "porcelain made In dif
ferent years, a scheme of lettering
.was arranged which, to the Initiated,
would tell the tale. . For example, nn
A In the space between the two L's
signified that the piece of porcelain
thus marked was mndo In that year In
; which the king began to take an active
Interest In', the work, 1753. ' Three
years later the factory was removed
from Vlncennes to Sevres, and it :
there that one may visit It today, over
In one corner ot the beautiful park
of St. Cloud, not fnr from the Seine.
And, In 1759, the king took It over
as a state Industry, to be managed
henceforth as such.
Now, it happened that the making
of porcelain appealed to Madame, do
Pompadour, and she did everything fn
her power to bring the Sevres prod
uct up to the highest possible artistic
standard, to popularize the ware at
court and throughout tho country, and
even throughout the whole of Europe.
Among the beautiful colors which were
employed In this wnre, one of the love
liest was named for her, the "rose
Pompadour."

DEFINITION OF DOG DAYS
May Not Be Strictly Orthodox, But It
. , 8urely Covers the Ground
i Most Thoroughly. ' . -
We don't know whether there are
'dog days, according to the almanac,
that Is, or not.
Several years havo passed Blupo wo
had In the house one of those little
books with a disemboweled gentleman
on the front cover, so here Is no
means of finding' out . .
A hot and muggy day Is not a dog
day, technically, unless the dog star,
Sirlus, the original Skye terrier presumably,-is
In evidence, or opposition,
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 aU afternoon than write
doggerel and goes home wearier than
he has been In a dog's age, to sleep like
a dog and get up In the morning dog
tired.
Dogged around by the necessity to
labor one would, did happy opportunr
lty beckon, start oft on a dog trot for
the nearest beach or sylvan lnke, there
to camp out In a dog tent until au
tumn's crisp days, occasionally swim
ming around dog fashion in the clear
nnd cooling waters, offering fervent
praise In dog Latin..
In the city dog days, are Just one

Secret of Book of Revelatloti.
i The number 060 used in tho Bible
as symbolizing the beast Is a constant
source of speculation ns to what per
sonage the mystic- numeral indicates.
According to Prof. S. E. Slocuin of the
University of Cincinnati, the key to
the riddle lies In the fact that in tho
case of the Greek form of the name
of Nero, written in Hebrew characters,
the letters of the name have each u
numerical significance according to
the number notation of the Hebrews,
ItllU LUC CUUl Ul iud iniiuuviii ...
The apostle In excoriating the em
peror .would have iound It unsafe to
menflon him outright, or In sortie bbr
vlous symbolism, such ns In Latin or
characters would be fair concealment
to Roman eyes. The other imagery
of the Book of Bevelatlon works out
strikingly in accordance with the as
sumption that John was writing dis
creetly about tho persecuting Itoman
emperor.
i"" Women and the Movies.
i I believe tho next generation of
women will bo more Interesting In
every way, because of tho stimulus
given to their lives by the motion
pictures. I notice so much difference
In the women I meet since the pic
tures have become popular. The en
tire world h09 been vlsuullzed for
them ; It has been like a universal edu
cation. Not merely for the women who
have lacked advantages, mind you. but
more especially for the type of women
whose outlook ha been limited by
their Intellectual concepts who could
not be mode to believe that there was
anything worth while outside of their
special circle of culture. Margarita
Fischer, In Film Fun.
f He Was Out
Snm had been very sick, and tho
white "doctah" for whom he worked ot
odd Jobs had been attending him. One
evening the doctor called nnd found
Snm talking almost Incessantly. The
doctor turned to Mrs. Sam and asked
soberly, "Has he any lurid Intervals?
"No. sah, doctah; you only -left
three, you know, and I done give him
the last one at fouah o'clock."

he has his finger on the pulse of

for the farmers, big business for the

i "To what do you atrribute this
excellence?" asked a business man
pound for a month's recuperation at
Banff, in the Canadian Kockies.
"To irrigation!" was the prompt,
emphatic response. . . '
i "What about the dry fnrming
theory that has had so much ex
ploitation ?" queried a Dutch planter
from Sumatra.
"Dry farming is all right in nor
mal times," came the .answer.- "We

there must be plenty of moisture. If

water must be brought to -the land.

' "It certainly does," replied the

T.;arter million bushels of wheat will

will-yield from 30 to 40 bushels per

for ordinary years, but this is not an
ordinary year; it has been an, excep
tionally hot nnd dry year. Crops on
non-irrigated lands Jjcreabouts are in
many cases total failures. Here, I'll
give you a concrete instance, Powell,
a chap I know, came out here last
fall, bought land,: broke 200- acres
and put in wheat.. Some of this
acreage was irrigated in the fall and
twice m the spring and summer, re
sult, will be about 40 bushels per
acre; the land that got no fall irriga
tion but got water twice this spring
and summer will yield about 35
bushels; some of the land was water
ed but once this y rur and will bear a
scantier crop, but the average is go
ing to run close to 35 bushels per
acre. , Pretty gocil for th first year,
especially When you Consider pre
vailing prices.
"Other grains respond to ' tho
stimulus of water accordingly and
the way in which: alfalfa and other
fodder crops increase, make the pos-
sibilities of live stock raising urt
limited. - - : . - - ' i -

These sharp crystals tear and scratch
the delicate urinary channels causing

One of the first warnings of slug
