No labor has been too arduous, no sacrifice too great, that be might achieve the choice tints un der glace, and yet for more than a year ne lias ueen too poor to nre n is Runs.

These represent his attempts to catch the coveted red "sang-de-bo3uf,"that wonderful tint produced by the Chinese 600 years ago, and re discovered once or twice since thiit far away Mini; period. Only four siiecl mens of the Chinese "ox blood red" are owued in America. Mr. Robert son's vases show the whole gamut of reds, from tho dull liver shade through glowing tints to the perfect "sang-do-uteuf," and then descending through the scale to purples and browns Pro fessor Morse, of Sulem, has one of the most complete collections of Japanese iiottory in the world, which will prob ably be secured for the Boston Art musuem. He pronounces some of the Chelsea ware as marvelous examples of the famous "ox blood red, and agrees with Mr. Robertson that its attainment is a happy accident, whose chemistry has not been formulated. I hope this may reach the eye of some connoisseur of ceramics, who will gladden the old potter s heart by appreciation, and bis purse by buying. Worcester Spy.

Jrmceion Eixciiatige. A Touch Watch Story. On his last birthday, a month or two ago, a youngster in knickerbockers who lives in the East End received from his father a silver watch, the price of which, it is safe to say, did not exceed $15. ' It will not surprise you to hear that the boy took the watch to pieces after it had burned in his pocket but three days. Whon every wheel lay in his hand the boy naturally fell to thinking how ho might put the watch in running order again. Lie must oe someming oi a mechanical genius, for he succeeded in got ting the dismembered works in side tlie cu.se in some sort of shape. It is hardly a reflection on the boy's skill, either, that after tbe mechanism was put together it failed to respond to the winding stem, uui the boy perse vered. He detected the root of the trouble in the balance wheel, which seemed to interfere with other parts of Kie setting, bo at the balance wheel e tinkered, until to his unfeigned as- loiiitiliinciil, after ho had jacked up the wheel with a bandngo of cotton pirvatl. tiiewatch began to tick again. -rauiuirg tnspatcn. how it became poisoned it must lie puri fied to avoid death.

In the nrst pluce all idea of his size is hidden under the duster. In recognizing a friend you do so as much by his size and manner as you do his features.

St. Louis Globe Democrat. The Eaatern Incident Which FumUhed the Theme of a Hruttlsb Song It is not generally known thai the in ciduut which forms the buIijih-I of the droll Scottish song, "Hie Harruig of the IVxir," which also ocelli's in the "Nights" of Btrapurulu, is of eastern origin. In an Aruoian tale a ihih-k-head having married his pretty cousin, gave the customary fea.it to their re lations and frauds. When the festivi ties were over he couducmu his guesis to the door, and, from alu-cmo of mind, neglected to shut it before re turning to his wife. Lear cousin, said his wile to him when they were alone, "go and shut the 8trectdoor." "It would be strange, indeed," he replied, "if 1 did such a thin?. Am I just made a bridegroom, clothed in silk, wearing a shawl and a dagger set with diamonds, und am 1 to go and shut the doorl v tiy. my dear, you are crazy Uo and abut it yourself." "Oh, indeed I" exclaimed the wife. "Am 1, young, mlied in' a dress of lace and precious stones, am I to goand shut tlie Hirevi tUHtrf .mi. hi deed I It is you who have become crazy, and not 1. Come, let us make a bargain," she continued, "and let the first who khiiUs go and fasU'ii the door." "Agreed," said the husband, and immediately he tnt-uuie mule, und the wife, too, was silent, while they both sat down, divssexl as they were in their nuptial attire, looking at each other and sealed on npMisile sofas. - Thus they remained for two hours. Some thieves hupx-ncd to piws by. and, seeing IhediHiropeu, entered and laid hold of whatever cume to their hands. The silent couple heard foot steps in the house, but opened not their mouths The thieves came into room and saw them seated motionless, and apparently inditlereut to all thut might take place. They continued their pillage, therefore, collecting to gether every valuable, and even drag ging away the carpet from beneath them; they laid their hands on the noodle and his wifu taking from their persou every article of jewelry, while they, in fear of losing the wager, said not a word. Having thus cleared the house the thieves departed quietly, but the pair continued to sit, uttering not a sylla ble. Toward morning a police olticer came past on his tour of inspection, and seeing the door opeu walked in. After searching all the rooms and And ing no ixsrsons. he entered their apart ment and inquired the meaning of what he saw. Neither of them would condescend to reply. - The ollicer bo- came angry and ordered their heads to be cut olf. The executioner's sword was about to perform its ollice when the wile cried out, tir, he is my hus band. Do not kill him I" "Oh 1 oh I" exclaimed the husband, overjoyed, and clapping his hands, "you have lost the wager; go and shut the door," lie then explained the whole affair to the police ollicer, who shrugged his shoul ders and went away.

The newly married wife said she wanted a certillcato. No marriage was good without 0110. It cost twen- ty-flve cents for a blank that would suit her.- Tlie rdverend srentlcman filled the blank out in the usual form. and sho went away seemingly satis- neu. A few days later she again appeared at tlie door. ''Mister," said the wo man, in an aggrieved tone, "I looked through tho papers and can't find a notice of our weddiag. You ought not to treat us different from other folks." So the dominie wnt to a news paper otlice and paid fifty cents to have a notice inserted.

A friend relates the following rather jocose incident: Proceeding down Joy street not long since, hisntleutiou was culled to a little l.egro boy who was crying piteously, and alternating his outbursts by munching a glowing bued red eper. The tears were streaming dowu his elxuiy checks and he was bellowing loudly about the burning sensation in his mouth and throat, totally oblivious of the fact that the pepper wu the cuuso-of - his trouble, and that be was continually aggravating the pain by endeavoring to masticate the pungent article. The narrator, noticing his trouble- and its causa, stepped forward and snatched the pepper frotn his hands and threw it into the street, where upon the black urchin set up a most vociferous howl and dashed after his treasure, while a burlv ncercss rushed out of a doorway, evidently thinking her child had been abused.- The well meaning pedestrian did not linger to explain. As he departed ho caught a glimpse of the ebomzed gamin ugiun in possession of the popper and yelling and munching as before.
