THE STORY OF DRESDEN CHINA.

The first hard porcelain made in
Europe-for majolica, Palsy ware,
and others of the sort are pottery,
and not porcelain-was the lovely
Dresden ware; and in that line moth
ing has ever been made to exceed it's
beauty. It's flowers, it's ribbons and
ornaments, are perfection in design
and color there is a rumor that real
lace is put into the clay before firing
for the parts representing lace, but
how that may be we do not know.
1t owes it's existence to an accident
The chemist, who had been imprison-
ed by the Elector IN order to find the
secret of making gold and of the
elixir of life, having come across
some substance resembling porcelain
in the bottom of a crucible, was un-
able to get it of pure tint, till a
rider one day found a peculiar white
clay on his horses hoofs, which he
had dried and sifted and sold for
hair-powder, and the unfortunate
chemist, using it and observing its
weight, experimental with it, and
straightway the great Dresden ware
or Nielsen, as it is more correctly
called-became a success, the first
sculptors and colorists of the day
lending their art to its perfection.
Cruelty, or rather tyranny, has often
attended on Dresden china; for
Frederick the Great. having sent
great quantities of this white earth
to Berlin, took captive the best
workers in the Nielsen and sent
them after it, never allowing them
to see home again; and presently he
obliged the Jews in his dominion to
buy the china he thus manufactured
by refusing them marriage licenses
till they had procured a service, thus
gaining an immense annual revenue

A CHINESE ADVERTISEMENT.

In July, 1881, Chang Shan-ch un,
of Wu-cnang, married the daughter
in-law of one Wang, girl whose
maiden name had been Kung, in my
native district, and marriage-papers
were drawnu in evidence. We lived
together as. husband and wife in
kindness and affection for seven
years, without any break in our
friendly relations. My wife is
twenty-seven years old this year.

BABY IN THE LIONS DEN.

When Ishmael Pasha, the extrava
CANT khedive of Egypt. reigned owe
that historical land, said an &C
quaintance OF the notorious ruler, ht
had in his garden large cage of Afri
can lions. Noble brutes they were
until the event of which l speak
never tired of looking at them. One
day, while walking with his highness
in the garden, the keeper, accom-.
panied by pretty little girl, entered
carrying basket of meat for the
lions. The khedive and l walked
toward the cage to watch the beasts
eat. They were hungry and bounced
upon their food with ravenous fury
that chilled me. Standing close by
the cage, with her hand resting on
the bars, was the little child, her long
golden hair at times blown by the
breeze inside of the enclosure.
Why do you permit your daughter
to go so near the lions? the khedive
asked the keeper.
Oh, replied the keeper, they are so
accustomed to her they would not
harm her.
Then open the door and put her in
side, said the khedive.
NY blood froze at the command,
for command it was. | tried to
speak, but could not; l was unable
even to move. The keeper, with the
submissiveness of those who know
their lives will pay forfeit if they dis
obey their ruler; made with his eyes
plea for mercy, but seeing none in
the khedive's face, he kissed the little
L i
the door and placed her inside, and
as the door swung to he turned his
face away and groaned.
The little one though she did not
stir, seemed not afraid. The lions
appeared surprised, and as the larg-
est and hercest arose and walked to-
ward her | thought l should choke.
Happily the father did not see the
beast. The khedive alone was I'M
moved, and stood gazing at the
scene calmly and with the curious
smile l had so often seen playing up
on his features when watching the
dance of ballet. The lion went up
to the child, smelled of her. looking
at ner fully half a minute, and then
lay down at her feet and beat the
floor with his tail.
Another lion approached. The
first one gave an ominous growl and
the second lion went back. The
others crouched low, and each second
l expected them to spring, but they
did not. This continued, l think,
about five minutes, the big lion never
taking his eyes from the girl and
ceaselessly flashing the floor.
The khedive by this time was evil
IDENTIFY satisfied, and turned to the
keeper and commanded him to thrust
live lamb into the cage through |
another door. With celebrity l have
never seen equaled the keeper caught
a stray lamb and obeved. AS he did
SO every lion sprang upon the lamb.
Take out the child the khedive
commanded, and scarce had the
words escaped him ere the keeper,
who had already run to that end Of
the cage, jerked open the door,
snatched the little one out and clasped
her in his arms. The khedive laughed,
tossed the keeper coin, and taking
my arm, walked on.

The letter Of Mr. Robert Wallace,
referring to the Chinese labor trouble
at Kohaia, demands attention. His
suggestion of prompt and search
ing investigation ought to be second
ed by every lover of eveu-handed
justice. The necessities of the labor
situation require that immigrant labor
from any country have fairplay.
Moreover, the maintenance of re-
strictions for the protection of eau
casian and Hawaiian labor against
Mongolian aggression depends large
~ on the Chinese immigrants being
accorded far dealing in the particu-
lar line of labor to which they are
restricted. Although labor be pre-
vented from coming here by bad
treatment for which the restrictive
laws are not responsible, neverthe-
less those laws would be given the
blame and stand n strong chance of
being repealed through the influence
of the planters, even when the fault
might lie among themselves.

the disease that is referred to is nol

that is commonly known as the

This disease is very prevalent in the
vicinity of Honolulu and different
parts of this island. The losses that
have been sustained are not gener-
ally known, but in the last twelve
months the disease has been making
rapid strides. One man who has
only small ranch has lost about
$1,000 worth of stock ard another in
the vicinity of Honolulu, who, twelve
months ago, had hundreds Of cattle,
has not one-half this number to-day.

A limited number of Valuable Seaside
and Country Residence
Sites on the
Peninsula Of Pearl City !

This truly enchanting location for
suburban homes must be seen to he
appreciated; lovely grove of al ge-
roba trees covers the entire grounds,
streets 80 feet In width are laid out,
and G-inch pipes are being laid to
conduct water from a l0-nch arte-
sian well which is pronounced by
McCandless Bros. to flow the sweet
est water of all the wells they have
bored on this island. The Railway
Co. have constructed two reservoirs
with d storage capacity of over two
million gallons, and built flume eX-
tending 81 miles into Waiawa Val
ley, which in years of ordinary rain
fall will supply an abundance of
pure water for large population;
to guard against such droughts as
we have experienced during the pre-
sent year, the Company have ordered
Blake Pump with capacity of
100000 gallons per day, which will
be replaced by one or more of larger
capacity when needed. This pump
now due from the manufacturers will
be placed at once at the artesian we'll
from which water will be forced into
the reservoirs, when not supplied
from the mountains.
A block containing an area of five
acres has been reserved for a Hotel,
and another beautiful lot of the same
area is also reserved for a Public
Park, which the Company propose
to make one of the most delightful
and attractive resorts to be found
anywhere.
This place has all the charms of
Waikiki, with the addition of an in
land sea seven miles long and four
miles wide, affording boating and
yachting facilities second to none in
the world.
Pearl City is situated about half
way between the extreme eastern
and western points of Pearl Harbor.
The makai end of Pearl City PENN
sula points to the entrance Of The
harbor, and is destined some day
(not so remote as some peo-
pie may think) to be the great
commercial emporium of the Pacific.
The Pearl City Branch Of the Com
pany's line extends down the centre
of the Peninsula within say 900
feet of the shore on either side.
BDr Intending purchasers are in
vited by the O. r. & l.. Co. to call
at my office for free tickets and
maps of Pearl City.
The Company will bind themselves
in the deed to carry purchasers,
their families and servants for
term of nine years from date of pur-
chase at ! cents per mile first class,
and cent per mile second class
Those who build residences on their
lots within IL months from date of
purchase, will thereby secure a re-
ductiOn from The above rate for the
whole time of say 20 percent, max
ing the fare each way 10 cents first
class, and 10 cents second class.
This rare spot of earth is quite
limited in area, and those who would
secure a lot valuable now but des-
tined in the near future to be worth
many times its present value, will be
wise to improve their opportunity.
