THE LEPER.

THE LEPER-
Hear the leper! Down the street
Sound his shutting, weary feet
Run within!
Little children, do not look;
Hide your eyes behind your oooK:
For his face is SCARED and thin,
Lined by sin.
Hear the Ieper. Shut the door;
Double lock the gate once more.
Do not peep
Round the curtains lifted side;
If he sees you, woe beude,
For that dreadful face viii creep
Through your sleep
Ware the leper! Who can know
That he loves these children So
That he slips
Through the hated market-place
Just TO watch a baby's face
And the joys its mother sips
From its lips?

THE DESERTED HOUSE.
They kept a nfeless form within the
room,
And decked his brow with roses red
Of bloom,
Nor saw his face more white beneath
the red
Beside the hearth a goodly feast they
spread
OF meat and wine. "He viii not taste
thereof"
They called-and called at last, "Ah,
6oa5 is Jl1Vaf
Seet Who comes lingering his gar
Tnent's hem?
Destiny, drawn to sing Loves re-
quien!"
They have gone down their ways. The
dwelling stands
Forsaken now amid the open sands
Mute is the morning of their minstrel
Yet of night the Tnoonlit organ-keys
Rise TO an unseen touch, the corridor
Awakes to pattering footsteps on the
floor.
A little silver ghost runs desolate,
And beats its arms against the iron
gate.

Discovery Of Dresden China.

Dresden china was discovered
through accident. John Frederick
Bottcher was a chemists assistant In
Berlin about 100. At that time all
potters were endeavoring to discover .
means of making translucent china,
but In vain.
Bottcher, having fallen under suspi-
cion of being an alchemist, was obliged
to leave Berlin and take refuge In Sax
ony. Augustus II. was Elector Of Sax
ony, and in hope Of finding the secret
Of the philosophers stone he placed
young Bottcher in q laboratory with
orders to carry on his experiments.
While working along the lines desfs-
mated by the Elector, Bottcher sur
prised himself BY discovering something
akin to Chinese porcelain. He was at
once hidden by the King to pursue the
quest Of making china. He might have
continued his endeavors for many
years had not an accident given HIM
the key to the translucent china.

Allegations of Fraud
The government in the five suits in
stituted alleges fraud has been prac-
ticed in the filing and entering of land
claims and that the persons mentioned
in the suit as flers and entrymen fled
fine claims for the Portland Coal and
Coke Company, which, it is further
charged, is a subsidiary corporation
TO the Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
ton Company.
All Of the FIVE petitions fled by the
government are identical as to the
land filed and entered. Different suits
we're entered because of the number
of people in whose names the land en-
tries we're made.
It is declared in the petitions that
the bills in equity are Instituted under
the authority and direction of the at
torney general of the United States;
that the Portland Coal and Coke Com
pany was organized under the laws Of
Oregon July 10, 1892, and is entitled
to conduct business in both Oregon
and Washington; that it has been
during the whole period of it's exist
ence subsidiary corporation of the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation Com
pany. The recovery Of the land by
the government is sought on the
ground Of illegality in securing title
