Early Chinaware Popular With Lovers of Antique* The great reputation which old English china gained for itself in Europe and America in She lata Eighteenth and early Nineteenth centuries is due largely to the charm of its useful wares. By use ful wares we mean the servicer* of china made for table use, utete* Alice R. Rollins in the Los Angeles Times. Entire services, with, all the pieces decorated to match, w esc not common until well after the middle of the Eighteenth century. Many of the factories producing: them have long since passed out of exist ence. Such examples as have sur vived add pleasure or regret to the collector, according to his ability to classify or obtain them. Other services were the produc tions of famous potters whose names have been associated with them by reason of some special form of decoration which is ttnio k t.vc*. This, together with an originaJ lim ited production, has made them rare and desired by those collectors who like something out of the ordi nary. In this connection we men tion the unusual "Mocha” ware, first produced by the English pot ter, William Adams of TunstafL One of the best-known names among English potters is that of Adams. The family badl long kem engaged in the potting- industry and had made many notable improve ments in (he manufacture of such i wares. William Adams (1745-18ll5|| j was considered the most important ! member of this talented family. He was a close friend of Josiah Wedg wood and worked for him as pupil and associate. He began polling for himself about 1787 at Greengab/ in Tunstall. Baby Otter, Badgor and Other Animals Like Ef^ay Most playful of all wild creature? are otters, for even when full grown they cannot resist anything on that shape of a ball that floats. Baby badgers romp together, puffing; out their fur until they look liko black and white balls, then bounc ing round and round on their short stiffened legs. A favorite game is for one to mount a fallen tree, and its companions to try to pull it down, relates Oliver G. Pike, F. Z. S., in London Tit-Bits Magazine. Young polecats play a similar game, but are far more graceful. As they prance around, their slender backs are arched, and they look most attractive in their rich dark brown glossy fur. Badgers, pole cats, stoats, and weasels have very little method in their play, unlike the organized games of the otter. I doubt if anyone has ever defect ed play among fish, or seen liz ards or snakes indulging in games. All these are cold blooded and are only active when the temperature is warm enough to give them an interest in life. The play of foxes will often lam to tragedy so far as the farmer is concerned, for if they get among; fowls they will kill one for food then, like puppies, chase everything that moves. If the birds had tb* sense to keep still the fox might pass them by, but he will slangier them by the dozen while they con tinue to run. , i t
