Dresden china began Its reign at the fair o f 1 elpzlg, 1721. where St was o f­ fered for public sale for the first time. It has had three periods—King's. Mar- coline and modern. The factory murks traced on the bot­ tom o f each piece vary according to the period—the oldest (King's) living the monogram A. It. and the wand o f Aesculapius. The familiar crossed swords, with tbeMot or circle lietweeii the handles, were first used In 1721, and the star took the place o f the dot In the Mairollne |>erio the lazily curious: The Ingredients o f |>orcelaln are kaolin feldspar, sand and selenite. These are ground fine and mixed In llmewater. The paste Is then molded Into forms and fired In an oven o f modornte heat. When tak­ en out it Is In nn opaque state and is then dipped In the glaze, which is feld­ spar ground fine, with a little ntkall. It Is now subjected to a firing of great heat, which results In the beautiful polished surface ao familiar the world over. This second firing Is attended with risk, for If the piece Is allowed to re­ main beyond the exact pro|>er moment the whole melts together and Is ruined. SEASICKNESS.

It Is Not Beneficial, and In Rare Cates It Causes Death. In the light o f modem Intelligence the once popular Idea that seasickness was o f real benefit to the sufferer nnd that It never terminated fatally has been exploded. Not only Is this mala­ dy to be guarded against by every moans possible, b u t’ It Is even to be dreaded by those who are not over robust as leading to possible fatal re­ sults. The old fashioned notion that a good dose o f seasickness was beneficial was due wholly to the fact that iq>on re­ covery the victim o f mat de tner is usually so delighted that he Is apt to Imagine that he never felt better In (its life, while feeling normal again Is merely so great a contrast to the ex­ ceedingly wretched condition which this disorder brings nlxmt that cx aggeratlon o f one's feelings Is the most natural thing in the world. Sea­ sickness Is far from pleasant. It is not beneficial, nnd in rare cases it terminates fatally. There Is one consolation, however, that with the growth of the size of ships nnd the Increase o f speed travel­ ers are to a certain extent insured against It or If attacked are certain that their sufferings will ho short.— Marine Journal.
