The Redlseevery Of Porcelain.

Although porcelain was known to
both the Chinese and japanese for
ages it was not introduced into Eu-
rope until the beginning of the eight
eenth century, when John Bottcher,
native of Schlaiz, in Voightland,
was the first TO make it. This man
was apprenticed to Berlin apothe-
cary named ZoFn, in whose shop he
conferred some favor upon a pro-
fessed alchemist, who in return
promised to teach him the art of
transmitting the baser metals into
gold Bottcher, after studying un-
der the new master for a time, i'm
ogined that his fortune was made
and in 100 ran away,
He was pursued, but found protec-
ton among friends, who demanded
to witness an exhibition of his pre-
tended skill, and the poor fellow was
eventually compelled to acknowledge
that he had been imposed upon.
But he persevered in his labors, and
on one occasion, having made a mix
ture of finely organized earths for
the purpose of making strong cruci-
bles, he discovered after he had tax
en- the compound mass from the oven
that he had gained kind of pottery
more beautiful than he had ever
seen. The transmutation it may
therefore be said took place not in
the metals indeed, but in his own
person, for Bottcher was suddenly
changed from an alchemist to pot
ter. In 17O6 the first porcelain was
thus manufactured in Dresden. Be
ing made of colored clay it presented
a light brownish red hue, but as
early as 1909 a beautiful white porce-
lain was obtained, and its manufac-
ture was fully established during
the following years.-San Francisco
Call.

A isert Ynnnr PRINCESS.


The English royal children when
young were attended in illness by
old DIR. Brown of Windsor Prob
ably on account of the unpalatable
doses he gave them the doctor was
not popular with the little princes
and princesses. They accordingly
took great delight in calling him
Brown, to the utter ignoring of his
title and also the great Indignation
of their royal mamma. The queen
took them apart on one of these oc-
casions and said that the next one
who offended in that way should be
dispatched to bed. DR. Brown came
soon again. The little princess royal
knew he was coming. She also knew
that her mother had meant what she
said. 1t had no deterring effect. She
walked into the room and promptly
remarked:
GOOD morning, Brown. Good
evening, Brown. am going to bed. "
And to bed she went before any one
had a chance to send her.-New York

FROM ASHLAND.

Although we are yet in Oregon, a.
0regOHians we want to be, yet the con
trast in climate, scenery and customs
between this and the Willamette valley
are such that we find ourselves practi-
cally in California although In reality
we are twelve miles inside the line.
The altitude here is 20O0 feet, the at.
nosphere fresh and braciDg. 80 great
aud favorable are the climatic changes
that our better baIf for whose health
We are travelling, Is go much improved
hat we are 10th to go further and v Ill

Ashland is costly nestled at the foot
Of the Siskiyou mountains on besuii-
ful northeastern slope, and has the
finest water supply we ever saw in any
town, it is pfped about five miles from
a mountain known as Ashland butte
that carries perpetual snow, the water
Is the finest quality and the pressure is
immense.
The fine stamp mill here belonging
TO Portland company runs constantly
and their six horse teams are kept bnsy
hauling the ore about two miles distant
Another mill is being erected about
three miles out of town.
The wheat industry In this valley is
quite limited owing to the fact that
other products, such as corn, hay, veg.
etables and fruit, do equallyas we'll and
bring better returns, although wheat is
worth As cents per bushel, the demand
being entirely local, while the demand
fnr the other products for export are
comparatively unlimited.

larity and the lack OF side walks bring

TIE WHEAT PROBLEM.

Charles Dickens, the great novelist,
averred that he was always hoored by
any economic proposition In which the
price OF a bushel Of wheat was the prln-
clpal factor. Similarly most Of us are
led astray and lost In a wilderness of
vain conjectures when It comes to max.
lug an estimate Of the American wheat
crop for any year. Figures never lie,
IL 10 said, ifso, the busy people who
align them must lie, as no estimate
heretofore made has really come within
haillng distance of the truth Long
after the statlsticians have declared
that the surplus Is exhausted exporia-
tion from this country goes steadily on
aud there is usually a considerable
amount left over for export In the
spring.
Bradstreet's estimate OF domestic
wheat erop this year amounting TO 4iO,-
OOU, 900 bushels has been accepted bS
Beerbohm, the first European authority
on cereal statistics. and Is eorroborated
by a special investigation by western
agricultural paper. All exports OF
wheat and -four as wheat from both
soasts Of the United States and Canada,
ast week equal 2.7O0. 900 bushels against
!, e82. 900 bushels the previous week ano
J. i68, 900 bushels the week before, and |

TIE LUNBgR INDUSTRY.

The Democratic congress will put
lumber on the free list in the new tariff
bill now being prepared. In view OF
the fact that saw mills can hardly ex-
ist in Oregon where free trade lumber
cannot come, il is matter of great im-
portance to consider the interest lum-
bermen the United States oyer have in
a protective tariff.
If the duty be removed from lumber
it will psralyzs the saw mill industry
along the lake border. In Ohio alone
there are over 1000 saw mills, auo in
jury to their business will work injury
to more than 10000 laborers in that
state, thus affecting something like
100000 persons dependent, directly and
indirectly, upon that industry.
After the election of 1888 there was .
general feeling OF relief among lumber
men. who knew that the result of the
election assured protection. Since the
election of 1892 there has been a grow
lug apprehension, because of the
triumph Of the free-trade party, With
its promise to open our ports to Canada.

At Bald Rock, 60mlles from Fresno,
John Rose killed a grizzly bear which
had been roaming about that region
for nearly Is years and was called
"Blgfoot" by miners in that vicinity.
1t is estimated that he has killed 1000
sheep in his time and has had many
fights with Chinese sheep herders.
He carried scars to show it. for when
he was cut open seven bullets were
found in his carcass. They had been
fired into him in past years. He was
killed in a canyon and could not be
got out, but those who saw him esti-
mated his weight at 1000 pounds

marked that any one coming into the

The Squaw's Prudence.

One day Flying-By's wife came to
our tent and asked us to lend her a
small hand mirror which we possess
ed. We gave it to her, and then
watched her to see what she would
do with it. About a mile and half
or two miles away horse race was
in progress, watched by three or
four hundred mounted Indians. The
squaw took the mirror, stood in
front of the tent and reflected beam
of sunlight from the glass along the
ground in line with the group of In
diahs. 1t was only two or three
minutes before a solitary horseman
left the band and came tearing over
the prairie toward us. 1t was Flying
By, who sprang off his horse at our
door and looked inquiringly around.
His wife had gone back to her cook
ing and was apparently quite heed
less of his coming.
To his question whether some one
had not sent for him we could only
reply that we had seen his wife play
ing heliostat with our mirror, where
upon he went over and spoke to her.
In a moment he returned and with
a grin told us that, knowing he had
money. his wife had called him home
for fear he might be tempted TO gam
BILE it away, He chuckled over her
prudence and told us that he might
have made lot of money if he had
