A Cats Dream.

She was very still, and appeared to
be asleep, when suddenly she sprang
into the middle of the room, where she
fixed her feet on limited spot on the
floor, to which also her nose was ap-
piled, as if closely grasping something
which she held in her claws. This
continued for short time, when the
nose was gently raised, and the visible
attention was directed to the feet,
which still continued their grasp but
after time one of them was gradually
removed, and then the other, on which
puss appeared greatly at loss to i'm
agine whittier the imaginary object
could have gone so as to escape her
grasp. She looked in various direc-
tions along the floor with a foolish face
of confusion and then again her atten-
tion was directed to the spot on which
her feet were closely pressed, as If to
examine closely whether the presumed
escape had been sinking through the
floor and when this seemed unsatis-
factory the disappointed animal, now
widely awake, retired once more to re-
examine the place, as if she found it
impossible to comprehend how an OBJ
ject she had SO plainly seen and
grasped should have sunk into nothing.
Many minutes elapsed before this cat
appeared to be reconcilcd to the con-
viction that what had been a dream
was not in truth reality.-Land

Reading the Lips.

The possibilities of lip reading are
we'll illustrated in the case of Walter P.
Chamberlain, of Marblehead, who de.
livered an address upon the subject at
the convention of articulation teachers
of the deaf and dumb, in Worcester,
not long ago. Mr.. Chamberlain is now
AZ years old, has been stone deaf since
the age of five, and attained such pro-
ficiency in the art of lip reading and
articulation that, during the war, he en-
listed and successfully passed a medi-
cal examination. He was in the service
some time when, one night, he had oc-
casion to go to the spring supplying the
camp with water, when he was chal-
lenged by the guard. Owing to the
darkness he could not see the sentinel,
and, of course, did not hear him. He
was arrested and had an examination
next morning, and, in response to the
question, "Are you deaf?" heanswered;
af / were deaf how could I understand
vour question ?" He successfully
nassed the examination, until an lnves.
tieation of his ears revealed the fact
that he was totally deaf.

Grizzly Bears.

The other day Colorado miner from
Fairplay came to the valley for sup.
plies. He carried his right arm in a
sling one eye was twisted; face
scratched, torn and indented with
ridges, and head as guiltless of hair as
billiard ball, and looked as if he had
been invited by some of the Indians to
scalping picnic; but it turned out
that he had received all these wounds
from the claws of grizzly. The griz-
ely obtains full growth in four years.
At six he is in his prime, and able to
cope with any animal in existence. The
lion would stand very poor show in
the hug of a grizzly. The average
weight is l, 200 pounds, but number
have been killed in Colorado who kick
ed the beam at 1900. Old man Griffin,
of Canon, an early settler, and reputed
to be q sharp bear hunter, knocked over
a grizzly last fall that weighed 1000
pounds after being dressed. The claws
were long enough to anchor a good
sized sloop, being nine inches in length.
He fought to the last, and, with three
balls square through the heart, charged
upon the enemy, and dropped down
stone dead so close to the old man that
he could touch him with his paw.
They tell a story of a foolish young
fellow, residing on Current Greek, who
made q bet that he would lasso griz-
ely and bring him into camp. He
made the experiment, and slipped a
good moose over Bruin but the latter
sat down upon his launches coolly, and
commenced hauling in on the line. In
vain the horse struggled-the power at
the other end was irresistible but,
fortunataly, the lariat broke and the
rash young man escaped. r..

A Happy Thought.

A story is told of Governor Chilten.
don, who was one of the early Govern
ors of Vermont. He was quite an ex-
tensive farmer, and in those days to be
a Governor did not greatly interfere
with the incumbent's ordinary vocation.
He had two sons. One of them was a
bov of bright intellect and the other de-
cidedly dull. The old gentleman
thought that nature had done enough
for the youngest and that he would
make his way in the world without
more than common-school education,
but that the elder one would need all
the aid of liberal education to make
up the natural deficiency, and he was
accordingly sent to college, while his
brother was kept on the farm. It hap.
pened one spring that among the fruit
of the Governors herd was very
stupid calf. It would not suck or drink.
and no amount of effort on the part OF
the father, son, or hired man, could in
duce him to take his sustenance. After
repeated trials the good mans patience
gave out, and he said to his son,
=" Freeman, what on earth shall we do
with this stupid fool ?" 81 don't know,

Tie Son of Peter the Great.

Peter the Great, had long incurred the
resentment of his father. OF a tail and
commanding appearance, he was looked

stature was particularly esteemed.
Around him he had collected associates
who plunged into every sort of vice and
licentiousness; he openly opposed the
reforms of his father, and, fearing his
displeasure. left the country.
Peter, discovering his retreat at
Naples, ordered him to return to st.
Petersburg, promising forgiveness if he
did so on the other hand threatening
him with the most dreadful curses if he
refused. Alexis, relying on his promis-
es, returned, and had barely arrived be-
fore he was surrounded and imprisoned;
and then began most painful ordeal,
which was carried on for five months.
Peter daily visited him, and working
on his weak mind, prevailed on him to
accuse himself of the most dreadful
crimes, and to name all the friends who
were in any way implicated. He then
nominally consulted the priests and no.
bles what course to pursue; they, in awe
of his power, pronounced sentence of
death against Alexis, and Peter, in
spite of his previous protestations, con-
frmed it. Seated in q prison at Mos
COW, by dim light, we see the unfortu-
nate prince hearing the sentence from
the lips of his father, who actually
mingled his tears with his. The door
opens, and q vial is handed to the mon.
arch, who pours out the contents and
proffers them to his son as a soothing
draught. He then retires. Alexis
raises to his lips the poisoned cup, he
drinks, convulsions of the most dread
full nature follow, and before morning
he lies corpse. Peter gave out that
the news that sentence of death had
been passed upon him had operated
fatally on his feeble constitution. Thus
perished the heir to the Russian Empire.
Peter afterward altered the order of
succession in favor of his consort Cath
crime, who reigned for two years after
him. At her death she bequeathed her
crown to Peter, the son of Alexis, who
assembled the thrown at the age of
twelve, under the title of Peter II.

Who'll be Victim I

This is a game which may be played
BY any number of persons; the more
players the better. The Victim and the
Leader are the more important persons
in the game. Care must be taken by
the Leader to ascertain that the Victim
does not know the game. This done he
is requested to retire from the room and
wait until summoned.
The Leader then arranges his COM
pany in semicircle, and instructs them
that they are to initiate every action of
the Victim from the time he has been
informed of his duty, which is to find
the name of word thought of.
He is now requested to enter the
IUUm. Tho Leatcr gives him tile fol-
lowing instructions:
"You are, if you please, to watch
the actions and the words of the COM
pany, and from them elicit the word
Thought Of"
Now begins the fun. The Victim
looks around HIM, and very likely
twirls his mustache-a very natural ac-
tion expended in the first nervous curl.
osity to discover his whereabouts. The
players simultaneously twirl real or
Imaginary mustaches, and make any
other restless motion the Victim may
make, initiating his smile, and so close
ly watching his movements that if he
attempts to beat retreat to the door,
all must follow.
Let us illustrate: The Leader has
introduced his Victim. Victim says:
" Well, this is a comical situation"
Chorus of voices: swell, this is," etc.
Victim laughs. All the players laugh.
Victim puts a question. All repeat it.
After many attempts to solve the riddle,
he plunges his hands in his
pockets, and says, "IIl give it up"
when he is informed that the word is

A Small Story.

Note to the Editor of the Courier.
Journal: Some people, you know,
have q way Of reading one chapter of a
story, and if it does not please them or
come up to their standard "a to what q
chapter should to be good, will condemn
the whole, and throw the book or paper
aside with the remark that "that is
enough of that" I have endeavored to
bar this practice as applicable to my
serial, and I think have succeeded. I
would have such people to understand
that, in order to get the sense and beau
