SERVANTS’ SIGN
LANGUAGE
Peculiarities of Employers and Tour­
ists Noted by Marks.
Servants and bote) porters in many
cities of Europe have a sign language
as complete as that of the Amerkau
tramp.
“It is not generally known.” said a
courier, “that servants are tn toe habit
of giving useful tips to their succes­
sors and to the mao who delivers the
groceries and meat by marks on the
back entrauce.
In most of the big
Paris flats and apartments, such as
Americans like to take for the season,
the back door Is literally covered with
barely perceptible signs which nobody
but the initiated can understand.
“A freshly engaged domestic knows
exactly what to expect, whether his
masters are easy or hard to please,
whether It Is ’monsieur* or ’madame
who Is hard to get along with. Other
signs tell whether the food is good or
bad. whether the work is difficult or
not. etc.
"The boy from the grocer’s or the
baker's or the butcher's will also be

tip or not.

CLEANING A CLOCK.
It Is Net Very Difficult, According to
These Directions.
It Is very simple to clean a clock,
which may Bound rather absurd. For
an amateur it Is not always necessary
to take the clock to pieces. With a
little care and patience and using some
benzine, a clean white rag. a sable
brush and some oil a clock can be
cleaned and put In first class running
order. The benzine should be clean
and free from oil. You can test ben
zine by putting a little ou the back of
the hand. If It is good, it will dry off,
leaving the hand quite clean, but if
any grease remains on the band it is
not fit to use.
The oil should be of the very best
that can be procured. Vegetable oils
should never be used. Clock oil can be
procured from your druggist or Jeweler.

The queerest I came across was made
by a New York man.
“This tourist at the Chatham wanted
to say. ’I am hungry.’ He should have
said, ‘J’al falm.’
Then the waiter
would have brought him a meal at
once. What he did say was:
“ 'Je suls fameux. garcon.’ He said
there, ‘I’m famous, waiter.’ And the
waiter. Impressed, bowed and smiled
‘Congratulations, sir.*
“No food came. He must have made
an error, so he tried again:
“ ’Garcon. J’al une femme.' That
meant he bad a wife. The waiter said
he was sure she was a winner.

dive:
“ ‘Je suls femme.’

LOWESTOFT CHINA.
Story of a Factory Whose Products
Are Now Highly Prized.
At the end cf tbe North parade.
Lowestoft is the Warren House, a
place of great Interest to connoisseurs
of china. It was here, in tbe eight­
eenth century, that a discovery of
fine clay was made which eventually
led to Lowestoft manufacturing the
china which Is now so rare that It Is
almost priceless.
Initial experiments made by Hewlln
Luson, Esq., of Gunton Park, near
Lowestoft, with some fine clay discov­
ered accidentally on his estate result­
ed in complete success and ultimately
led to the opening of a factory at
Lowestoft in 1756 for the manufacture
of fine earthenware and porcelain “soft
paste."
In 1775 a finely glazed and decorated
“bard paste” was introduced, the ef­
ficiency and beauty of which beto­
kened a brilliant success for tbe pro­
prietors.
Contemporary evidence In­
disputably shows that from 1770 to
1800 the Lowestoft works were at tbe
zenith of their fame. Owing, however,
to the enormous expenses and difficul­
