The hard part is being duly thankful

Junior had slipped down from his
chair and was staring out into the
twilight his nose pressed against the
glass. F1?e raised a sudden war whoop:
"It's snowin, mama. I can see it
corrin' down by the street, light."
Sam and his wife rose, Sarah hold-
ing the sleepy baby quietly against
her and Sam putting his arms about
the shoulders of Margot and Junior.
They peered through the window at
the yellow blot of light outside. Big
flakes oe white, showing an unearthly
iridescence, descended continuously.

"For what we are about to receive,

Amen."
Such a short little prayer lint the
one touch of old-fashioned form that
she had insisted on carrying over into
her new life when she had left the
solid, square paternal home for the
uncertain protection of Saznuel Bur-
ton. Sam had come under the censure
of Old Josiah Wells because of a pro-
elivity for wandering into untried
paths and &iso because of a belief
that somewhere, in the outside world,
lay glamorous opportunity. This was
the very reason for his attractiveness
to Sarah. The idea of leaving her
home town in which she had been
born and bred had stirred her roman-
tic imagination. This imagination,
inherited from generations of pion-
eers, was as wholesome as it was
searching. Not so much the hectic
desire for experience actuated her as
the hope that somewhere in the out-
side world was to be found the ideal
hone: for her and Sam.

Etiquette in Persia.
The Persians are exceedingly gen-
erous with money, says. Mr. Thomas
Pearson in Asia,' but they are miserly
enough in inatters of prestige. You
have to go to Persia to learn' the true
meaning of that weed. I have heard
it variously used all my life, but no-
where is it fraught with such ewful
meaning as in Persia. The proper
seating of guests at table, for example,
becomes a problem before which oven
the most valiant quail. In Persia In-
fluence and prestige cluster around
the centre of the board; those seated
at the ends i1nay oonsder themselves
lucky to have been invited at all, A
guest quite properly resents. being
seated below some one whom he con-
siders his Meal -tor and often prefees
to remain at home rather than submit
10 the indignity. The proper way to
prepare a room for receiving Persians
is to plass chairs around the room. side
by side, with their backs to the walls,
In front of the chairs there should be
little tables, possibly one table for
every four chairs, and on the tablas
should be fruit and sweets. No one
ever disturbs the artistic arrangement
of fruits and sweets, but they are es-
sential to the setting of a banquet. At
intervals you will send large trays fill-
ed with cups of tea about the room.
The first guests arrive, and, having
greeted the host, who sits near the
door, they make their way to a far
corner, where they s11 down and spend
the first few minutes in taking in
every detail of We room and of its fur-
nishings. Then they begin to talk
with their ueighbors. At intervals
more guests come in, and the chairs
are fillets. Half the fun of a Persian
party is watching the other fellow
come in. Persians have an interesting
habit of remaining seated when a per-
son enters the room, but of bowing
and smiling and half rising after the
newco'user has taken his chair. The
latter acknowledges the courtesy by
half rising in unison with the crowd
the moment he has touched his chair,
This procedure passes the time ad-
mirably if you know the game and
keep your wits about you. Thus, when
a -personage enters the room, every
one bows and smiles and has a per-
fectly heavenly time, but when an in-
conspicuous somebody conies in every
one is deep in conversation with his
neighbor and pretends lie does not see.
Once, alter some local disaster., a
meeting of publicspleitee citizens was
Balled for three o'clock to subscribe
funds for relief of the victims. I pre-
sented myself at what seemed to me
to be the proper time. I was the first
to arrive and was ushered out upon a
terrace overlooking a famous garden,
Around the terrace stood an impres-
sive array of chairs and tables. In due
course other persons arrived and
chose seats as seemed hest to them.
At 'half past six the mast important
personage arrived, and the meeting
was called to cyder. After a few ap-
propriate words themain business of
the occasion was taken up. A line

SPECIAL PURPOSE CLAYS
ARE SCARCE.
Large Variety . of Clays Em-
ployed by Canadian
-Manufacturers.
1n the ceramic 'Industries a large
variety of clays is employed, ranging
from impure brick clays to high grade
white china clay. Clays and shales
suitable for making common brick and
high grade face brick are plentiful and
widely distributed in Canada. The
bricks produced fa•onn these clays are
not only of good strength and form
but also embrace'a wide range of col-
or; and they are manufactured in an
assortment of sua•face textures. There
is little need for importing any build-
ing brick into the country since almost
any desired artistic effect may -be ob-
tained by the use of brick tirade from
Canadian clays.
Unfortunately as touch cannot be
said foe the special purpose clays as
for the brick clays, since their distri-
bution in Canada is rather limited.
Nevertheless, there are large and valu-
able deposits which are indeed import-
_
resources.
Fire Clays In Canada.
18'lreclays occur in British Columbia,
Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New
Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Fire-
bz'ick and refractory shapes are made
from local clays in British Columbia,
Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia. Such
'firebricks as aro manufactured else-
where in Canada are made from im-
ported fireolays on account of the re-
moteness of domestic deposits.
Pottery elays of very good quality
are obtainable in Alberta, Saskatche-
wan, New Brunswick, 'Nova Scotia,
and Prince &tweed Island. Those of
New Brunswick and Prince Edward
Island, and also some from Nova
Scotia are red burning and produce a
good body foe art pottery, while in Al-
berta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia
there are deposits of light-colored
stoneware clays. The deposits in
southern Saskatchewan supply the re-
quirements of a pottery at Medicine
Hat, Alberta, and the Musquodoboit
deposits in Nova Scotia are being
worked as a source of raw material for
a pottery at St. John, Nrw Brunswick.
In the southern Saskatchewan field
a high grade hall Olay is also being
worked, and shipments are made to

mercial scale at one point, namely,
near St. Romi, in the province of Que-
bee. A deposit In northern Ontario

In British Columbia, a deposit, appar-
ently of commercial valte, occurs near

kaolin are on :record, but such infor-

them does not warrant including them

One of the most important raw ma-
terials at present Ie'oduced in Canada
for use in ceramic industries is feld-
spar. There, are extensive deposits of
this mineral, especially. in Ontario and
Quebec, producing a largo tonnage an-
nually of high grade potash feldspar.
The major portion of this goes to the
United States, where it is ground and
used in the manufacture of porcelain,
vitreous enamels, and. glass.
Other mine peoducts are used ex-
tensively in the ceramic industries,.
many of which are found in Canada,
but for certain reasons their produc-
tion for ceramic use is ltmitod at pre-
sent.
He Was Too Honest.
John Radcliffe, born in Wakefield,
Yorkshire, in 1650, was one of the
greatest physicians, but he happened
to have more than the usual amount of
human hpnesty, therefore his troubles.
In 1699 he was physician to Icing
William III. William sunt for him one
day and the doctor found his royal pa- -
tient with very swollen ankles and a
body very much emaciated. He look-
ed things over and said nothing.
Finally the king arcked: "Well,, what
do you think7"
".Why, . truly," replied Radcliffe, "I
would not have your majesty's twos-
legs
wolegs for your majesty's three king-
domes:"
That was the end of Radcliffe inso-
far as the king was concerned, but
the Queen Anne had groat faith in
