A Young lady at Norristown put a
piece Of wedding cake under her pill
low, and went to bed with the happy
belief that she would dream of seeing
her future husband. That evening,
however she had eaten two plates of
ice cream, about pint of strawberries,
several sweet cakes, and two large
pickles, and she now says she would
rather remain single all her life than
marry the man she saw in her dream.

In the sixteenth century commenced
the display of ingenuity on the part of
English loclxsmiths which has been un-
interruptedly maintained since that
time, and which forms an interesting
chapter in the curiositics Of industry.
During Queen Elizabeth's reign. the
bows of KEYS were usually ornamented
by the insertion of a cross, and the
locks were frequently made of metal,
sometimes imbedded in oak cases.
Latch keys-the terrorof Mistress eau
dlc-also came into use about this pc
Rod Locks were for the first time
made with alarm bells and chimes dur
ing this period. Some of these bells
rang so loudly, in case of any unlawful
tampering with the lock, as to arouse
the whole street Bells with chimes
warned the inmates and alarmed the
burglar in much more soothing way.
No sooner was the skeleton key of the
intruder applied to the lock than the
latter began to chime such plaintive
airs as

q sentiment with which the chagrined
house breaker would doubtless concur
as he took his preciptate fight.
The modern lock is far more effect
i've and economic affair than its old
fashioned predecessor. The vastly in
creased facilities for manufacture and
the decrease in value Of the raw mate
rial, enable the lock makers of to-day
to turn out locks of the most admirable
workmanship and approved pattern at
a very low figure. As few branches of
industry afford wider scope for the
exercise of ingenuity and skill, so there
are few in which these qualities have
been more signally and usefully dis
played.
In no country have locks been
brought TO. greater perfection than in

Resistance would have been useless, ard
he followed the brigands. His servant begged
them to desist, but one OF them, holding a
pistol toward him ordered him to follow his
master, and told the monks to let the Pope
know that their prisoners ransom would be
$4,000 lire. The brigands and their captive
then marched of, and the monks returned
to the monastery, where they had not the
courage to give the ALARM, though the mon

brigands for the purpose of making him
their messenger. Monsignor TLeodoli had
told him to inform his friends that $4,000
lire was the price Of his release, and one of
the brigands added that they must have
notes OF small value, as there might be a
difficulty in changing others. and that if
the prelates friends made any alarm he
would be murdered.
The monks resolved on sending word to
the family, and on otherwise observing
strict secrecy. The family, although rich,
had not the amount by them, but they hast
lily collected 10000 lire, informing nobody
of what had happened lest the prelate's lite
should be imperilled. The peasant took
that sum accordingly TO the brigands, but
they said it was not enough, and that unless
the remainder was forthcoming they would
kill their iprisoner. Twenty-Five thousand
lire were then sent, but by this time the
authorities at Frosinone and Velletri had
heard of the affair. and troops were dis
patched in pursuit of the brigands. The
latter. however, could not be discovered.
