- l^^?^??^?&ig of ?^ery^?roi? day
may, at first glance* seem a simple pro?
cess? "We have all, *s ch?dren, made
rm?dp?es.r The mad ^urchin is the
potter m embryo. Bot when yon know
tj^vtfeeic?ay parses ^throngh thirty odd
processes or handli^s before the finished

? - be r?teriy rnre?d at the thirty-first, and
the proposition looks somehow different
?The story rf how ? saucer is made is in
vterestmg^Imagme; ia the first place,
. three h?aps of stuff that ?ooks like ground
?haW 2"bese are ohma* clay, flint and
: fe?d^ar? They have already gone
* tfc?ogh certain processes of calcining,
gt * ?p?ding, etc., before they reach the pot?
tery, to lit them to the use for which
/ . they ?re intended. They are the potter's
~jf:_.; law/ma?er?al; ...
-'. '.-"t . -'These three materials are mixed in cer?
tain proportions, the formula for which
fe saki to be -a secret known only to the
'.. > potters? When I was-told this I remem?
ber marveling kow it could have re?
mained a secret so . long when it was
- j ' known to so-many. Still J feel bound to
beEeye it is a secret. Water is now
'>>. I added until, the mixture is Eke thin
f- - ^aream. The cream or "sEp*" is then
passed through a screening process by
, Tunomg St over^, **Iawns^ or fine cloths.
The impurrties are thus removed, and the
cream-now containing pure potter's
clay only-flows into a vat, from which
it is pumped into the presses! These are
canvas bags inclosed in shallow trays of
A wood. The water by pressure is forced
through the meshes of the canvas, leav?
ing the clay behind. When the water is
- afl drained off the trays are opened, the
- canvas coverings thrown back, and the
day in "leaves7* or cakes of the consist
p ency and color of putty, are disclosed.
These are rolled up and deposited in the
g " - .clay vault until the superfluous moisture
has evaporated. It is then submitted to
^^*fl? precess of "wedging" or beating to
expel the air, which if left in would
V cause the goods to blister during the fir?
ing process. It is then ready for the
"presser'* L e., the man who shapes tho
dishes out of the day.
The presser does this with the aid of a
*- mold of plaster prepared by the mold
. maker, the most important and highest
paid of ail the pottery employes. These
molds are of every size and shape, ac
corchng to the goods to be produced.
The most elaborate are those for sanitary
. use, called plumbers' goods. The hol
low ware molds are made in three pieces
v -the two sides and the bottom. Hol?
low ware comprises ewers, teapots, sugar
" bowls, etc, as distinguished from fiat
^ ware, or saucers, plates, platters, etc
. J The saucer mold looks something like a
small apple pie, the upper surface of
which is modeled with the reverse form
- of the.inside of the saucer. This mold is
* placed on a rapidly revolving iron cup
caBed a ''jigger," the presser takes a romp
. of soft clay, fiattenszt out with a blow
- or two of a plaster stamp until it looks
like pie crust, picks it up and Hops it
'*! overthe revolving mold, where, with the
aid of a curiously shaped profile instru?
ment or tool, he instantly fashions the
clay into the form of a saucer upside
'-down. _
J jA ?pod workman wife a boy or two to
* 'help him with the molds will fashion
many hundreds of saucers daily in this
manner. The mold with the saucer on
top is then placed on a rack, where? by
mparts" of steam ipipes, it is ?Iriel The
saucer is' then taken ?rom the mold, the
edges tommed off and the surface
sponged smooth. It is then placed in the
- "green room" for a farther drying pro?
cess. _
The man who makes cups is called a
* '?thrower;** and he exercises a littlemore
f skin and dexterity than the flatware pres?
ser; in 'tthrowmg** the dav np into the
proper shape. His "jigger*' also is of a
different form. After the cup has been
shaped and dried it is turned ia a lathe
and then sponged, when it isreadv. to aga
company the saucer to tho ^green room.**
^fhen thc r^cer?" perfectly dry it is
. g?+iy for its first or 4 'biscuit' ' baking. A
round vessel of coarse pottery, which
looks like an old bandbox and is called a
"sagger," is produced. White sand is
placed at the bottom. Then the saucers
are ranged in layers, each layer being
covered with sand. When the sagger is
fofl strips of common red clay, called
"wads,'' are placed round the rim, and
r ths sagger is ready for the kiln.
The kilns are about 20 feet high and
13 across, being circular in form. Their
sizo is designated by the number of days
it wBI take to fill them. The ono I saw
was called a 19 day kiln, because it
v?ould take one man 19 days to fill it
with saggers. Eight men vrere at work
at it, and it was filled in two days and a
half. The saggers are placed in piles,
* -called l*bungs," 20 feet high. The
"wads'* serve to steady the piles and to
keep out foreign substances, smoke and
the like, when the firing begins. On the
top of each "bung" an inverted sagger
is placed for a like reason. When tho
kiln is full the opening is bricked up and
the fires lighted. Hie crockery is sub?
jected to a heat of D.O00 degs. Fahren?
heit for from 48 to CO hours. Then the
fires are put out and the kihi allowed to j
cool for several days..when it is opened,
care being taken not to let the cool air
chill the contents suddenly for fear of
cracking them.
The next process is that of glazing.
Tne glaze is generally a mixture of
water, flint, spar, paris white, clay, zinc,
lead, horacio acid and soda ash, though
sometimes other ingredients are added.
In tliis mixture, looking like thin cream,
the saucers are dipped, and after drying
a short time they are ready for t.^e
"glost" kiln. Tiie saggers used for this
firing are glazed inside to prevent the
porous earthenware from absorbirig or
.'sucking*' the glaze from the surface of
the dishes. Care is also taken to keep
the latter from touching, lest they stick
together in the firing. This is done by
means of pins stuck in the sides of the
saggers, cn i..?? ends of which the rims of
the dishes rest. The glost firing is about ,
twenty-four Jiours iong. Thea the fires
aro drawn, the door opened as soon as
possible and the contents removed to tlie
ware house, where the rough points, or
"stilt marks" left by elie pin*, arc removed
end the dishes, ereept such as are to be
decorated, are ready to be packed for the
market,-H. II-"' in New York

These shells are suspended from windows

more remunerative than any other branch
of art and is at the? present time moro

bellishing tho table china with portsuts

_TH? SWR?T. OF THE PAST,
The twilight boor descends upon tho land?
And with a solemn moan the mighty deep
Rolls on the beach and lulls me into sleep:
And while I dream I feel a gentle hand -
tfpon my atm, and, coming from the strand,
A sweet, sad voice bids me to ever keep
My purpose true and adds, "That ye may reap
Ye first must sow; *ti3 by divine command."
Then lo! as from a troubled sleep.I wake,
A silent form I see, which from iny gaze
With noiseless steps retreats, and fadeth fast
Among the shadows where the white caps break
Upon the shore; and through the misty base
X recognize the spirit of the Fast.

DB. L. C. KE???EDY, of Spartan burg,
writes the Proprietors : "The remedial qual?
ities of Glenn Springs I have known for over
forty years, aDd can attest to its value io
Dyspepsia from gastric or functionnl derange?
ment of the Liver, General Debility, Dropsical
Effusions. Uterine Irregularity and Affections
of the Kidneys and Bladder. To the last dis?
eases I would particularly call attention, as
the waters have shown large curative powers
io these complaints."
Da. O. B. MAYER, of Newberry, S. C.,
says; "I have sent more than fifty persons
suffering with Jaundice to these Spring?, and
have never been disappointed in auy case;
they all speedily recovered. I cannot find
words to express my confidence in the Glenn
, Springs water, as a remedy for the Liver,
i when functionally deranged. Dyspepsia,
Dropsy, certain skin diseases, troubles in the
Kidneys and Spleen, if produced by the Liver,
have all, as I kuov, disappeared at the
Springs."
DR. JAMES MCINTOSH, President of the Med?

"Glenn Springs, for diseases of the Stomach,
