Bat here Is ocular evidence lust the Spanish "guns and ammunition are all right. Ties picture show the hole which a chance shot made in tbe bow plates of the Texas. The battleship was shelling the shore batteries to the west of. Santiago, making one ot those aeries of feints under cover of which Shafter landed his troop at Baiquiii. Theahall was a big one, and it tore through the steel walla just forward of the armor belt as if it had been piercing cardboard instead of harveyized metal. In its course, yon will remember, it killed one man and wounded several other not a very deadly or damaging missile in com pari eon with some which Amerioaaa gunners have thrown into Spanish war-: ship. The photograph from which this pioture wa made for the New York' Herald was taken from the 'tween decks of the Texas.

ORICm OF PORCELAIN. IbimM ky th Ohlasewt Fwfeeteel ' " kr Japanese! iluel Sir , lb. FortaasM. The word porcelain, as applied to china pottery, originated in Japan dur ing the thirteenth century, writes Frank H.' Vizetelly In Woman'a Home Companion; ' The Chinese, the ' pio neera in the art of porcelain man ufacture, began to make it nearly two centuries before the Cbriallao era, and so careful were they to guard tbe secret of the art that nearly fifteen centuriet lapsed before their neighbors, the Jap anese, got any inkling of. it. But once In their possession the wily Japanese lost no time to profit by their knowl edge. The few intrepid navigators of those days brought samples of both Chinese and Japanese ware to Europe, but not until early In tbe sixteenth cen tury did- a trade in it of any extent take place. Among the early importer!; were Portuguese trailers who bad set tled on the Japanese coast, and to them, it la '''claimed, we owe the. word porce lain, derived fronv the Portuguese por cellana.i or sucking pig.-, When ' the Portuguese traders first saw piece of Japanese , ware tbey were struck with its transluoenoe, which somewnct re sembled that of the cowry-shell. -The Cowry-shell, In turn, resembled in shape a small sucking pig, or porcellana; bene, our porcelain. ; : A MARYLAND CUSTOM.; , Statrtea kr Mlsefclsvoa TeaasT Who Ceow tn lVarsi Lett.

Princess Adelaide waa interro gated on the subject, vbnt she knew nothing about It, Then the yoUng scape grace admitted that he bad pawned It. ."My aunt,", therefore, became proverb ial for the Mont-de-Plete.

Although he is in point of age, as well as the durav-. tion oMiisreign, the juniorof pearly all, yet, just because of his silence and re serve, they all. seem to be eager and) : anxious to force their society upon' him and to pay him visit with an impresae ment that savors far more ' of -vassala than of independent and friendly sov ereigns, says the .'Washington ' Post. The snubs that he has administered to Emperor William have been so numer ous that people hare lost count of them. He has only just consented to reopen, the doors of the winter palace to Princ.
