JOHN CRAPS TRIAL.

John Gray was going home ono night
And the snow ON the ground was cold ant
white,
The wind moaned chill through the pine u ocs
ranks,
And the river had overlooked its banks;
The ice cakes raced down the swollen tide,
And the current VAS strong, and the waters
wide
And out IN the midst Of the stream lac heard
As faint as the pipe OF frightened bird,
The cry OF child. Ho turned In trlCC,
And saw babe anoat on tho ice.
The stream with connecting Ice was pncked,

lie threw on his warm great coat 10 leap,
undauntcd, into the Icy deep,
And bravely he swan, but the tide was strong,
ANA MS Drawny arms were tired ere long.
Three times the current bore him ashore,
And he felt that lac could struggle no more.
"Why should risk my life" he said:
"Why should risk my Childrcn's Droad2
My babes are nc home, and asleep, ana safe
slinll give my life for this wrctchcd wailY
But the thought made the iather's heart beat

And he said "oncc agaln / will brave tho

And he plunged In the river once again,
And mnninlly struggled with might AMI main,

And he swan TO shore through the tempest

A Lepc.

Salem is In CONSERVATION over cas-,
OF leprosy. The victim Is Charles Derby
who contracted the disease in the Haw
allan Islands. Excluded from the coun
try, he went TO San Francisco and final,
| 10 Salem. His first knowledge of thu
fact that he was leper came with tho
discovery Of a blotch Of perhaps the
size of a ten cent piece on his left TEN
pie. Slowly, but surely, has his case
grown worse, until now there is a large
scale on either side Of the nose, which
organ is much enlarged by the disease,
while the ears are swollen, one foot is
badly infected about the toes, and one
hand has been attacked. Small tuber.
Giles appear on different parts Of the face.
In rubbing his hands together as one
would do in washing perfect shower
Of white particles falls TO the floor. HIS
voice is hoarsc and his throat sore. One
eye is in frightful condition, and the
other, from which the vision has not
entirely fled, is fast following the course
Of its companion. And yet he suffers
no pain. The numbness characteristic
Of lcprosy holds perfectly in his case as
in every other. Thrust pin, needle
or a sharp knife into his hands, feet or
face and he feels 1t not. Even his eyes
cause him no Inconvenience, save the
horrible thought constantly in his mind
that the light Of day will to him very
soon be shut out forever
lie eats all kinds Of food with relish,
sleeps soundly and well, moves about
with comparatively little Inconvenience,
and bathes, and 10 some extent takes
care of his diseased limbs without out.
side help. Great care is used by his
attendant to see that none Of the uten.
sials or clothing used by the lcper are
handled by other persons, as incubation
might occur, in which case the party or
parties SO inoculated would inevitably
become victims of the lrightful disease.
Aside from methods such as these, there
is thought BY authorities on the subject
TO be no danger OF communication Of
the disease from one person 10 another.
In fact, ut Honolulu, where the scntcn.
ceS Of Punishment are 50 surely and 80
impartially carried ont, there seems tG
be no hesitation on the part Of any per.
son to converse with leper, as long
rs care is taken not to come in
contact with the person OF the unlortu.
nate. Punishment becomes necessary
from the fact that whatever the lcper
uses or handles is liable to convey the
contagion through IN abrasion of the
skin or otherwise TO the next party
handling the article. Consequently if Il
is dee Died 10 keep this Salem lepcr in
that city, person will be engaged fol
the special purpose Of taking care Of
Derby, and Of everything that he uses.
Perhaps an effort will be made, how.
ever, 10 secure his admission TO colony
Of lepcrs in New Brunswick, where he
could receive better attention thar
almost anywhere clsc.-Spmgfcb

and in sound health, they felt secure
that the first death was long way off.
About six weeks ago, however, the Dis

Why Is 1t that so many persons use proprietary

monty called2 Is 1t because people lose faith in

It is one Of the best remedies ever offered to the
