DEATH BY A DREAM.-A man named
Niles Taylor, of fSmethrort, Pennsylvania
while driving with friend was forced
to jump from the carriage, owing to the
breaking of an axle. He was unhurt,
but he had considerable difficulty in get

there he was very tired. Having eaten
his supper he went to bed, from which
he soon after arose in his sleep, and,
going to the side door, he sprang out,
falling distance OF eighteen feet. He
was picked up conscious, but his injuries
were fatal. It is suppose he was dream
ing of the accident which had happened
only short time before, and while
dreaming, sprang from his bed and leap
ed through the door.

A New PROCESS OF MAKING BREAD

A New PROCESS OF MAKING BREAD
NJ. Cecil, a French engineer, has inven-
ted new process of preparing the
materials for making bread, which has
received the approval of the Minister of
War and will hereafter be adopted in
the French army. By this process an
increased per centage of the nutritive
properties Of grain is retained 50 that
by avoiding the usual grinding and wet
ting the grain that would make lis
pounds Of bread in the ordinary way
will make what is equivalent to 140
pounds. The new process is described
as follows The unground grain is first
stepped in water, after which it is plac-
ed in revolving cylinders, by which it is
deprived of its outer husk, which con-
tains but four or five per cent. Of nutri-
menS. The grains are then softened by
forming them into thin sponge, and
keeping them for a space of six to eight
hours at a temperature of seventy-seven
degrees Fahrenheit They are then
crushed under and made into dough
with salt and water, as usual.

GERMAN CHILD RoMANCES.


romance, but the romance of childhood
belongs more especially to Germany.
Wonderful tales of fairies and kobolds,
OF pivies sung over the babes in the
cradle, told by the fireside of every hut
and cottage, to the wondering, eager,
little, blond-haired children, whose eyes
are so full of earnestness and belief.
What histories are connected with the
fir-trees, with the beloved and venerat-
ed Christ6oune What legends lurk in
the caves and the woody hollow! Though
it be vet summer, the child sees in fancy
the beautiful IVeinachts6aune adorned
with splendid sparkling things, as the
gospel is adorned with promises and
with hopes rich in gifts, as the three
kings were rich pointing to heaven, as
the angel pointed; bright as those very
heavens were bright with silver-winged
messengers, crowned with gold as the
word was crowned odorous like the
frankincense sparkling ikethe star
spreading forth its arm full of peace
and goodwill on every side holding out
gifts and promises for all.
And they see the King Winter max
ing ready for his journey from the north
pole his spiked crown of icicles is on
his head his long, white beard is fro
zen his snow mantle, and ice scepter,
and rubicand nose good and humored
laugh all familiar to them. He comes in a
sledge drawn by reindeer, and with him
his queen, Frau Hole, who, like ten
der wife, stuffs his cushions with snow
flakes they are attended by their trusty
servant, Kneeht Ruprecht, the Weiaaach-
tsnaaaasa, he who knows all about the
good and naughty children. And the
vassals Of King Winter, when they know
he is coming, hasten to spread beauti-
full rime- carpets before him and, as he
loves fine mirrors, Knecht Ruprecht
lays clear crystal looking glasses over the
lakes and rivers for his lord and masters
delight. There are no leaves on the
trees (only the eyer-faithful fir is green),
SO the trusty servant hangs glittering
ice-spangles on the bare brances. Flow
ers there are none to cast before his
sovereign's feet on his entry into those
more southern lands, and so he traces
beautiful frost-fowers on all window
panes to gladden. the stern old monarch's
heart. And the sun rises in the morn
ing and gazes with wonder at the result
of Knecht Ruprecht's midnight industry,
and sinks to rest again after his brief
day without having robbed the white
bearded Winter King of one of his deli
cate frost-fowers and when all is ready
Knecht Ruprecht is sent forth to hear
news of the good children the Winter
King and Frau Holle begin to adorn
the fr-trees with march-pane and gilded
nuts, apples, ounces, and thousand
tempting sweet-meats. Knecht Ruprecht
comes back with his tiding, and the ta-
pers will soon be lighted. For the
naughty children Frau Hole has been
pointing a moral with birch-rods cut in
the forest, and adorning tale with the
bright-colored ribbons that bind those
instruments of judicious torture.

THE ROADRUNNER.

This peculiar species of the feathered
creation, known to no other country but
California, and of extreme scarcity. is a
curiosity that we seldom see in a DAVIS
travel. MIR. L.. Tully, of our town, and
Mr.. Mithel, of Calistoga, while return
ing home last Monday. discovered one
IN the road running along, wings half
extended with the velocity of an ostrich.
Although not SO large, it has the ostrich s
peculiarities, runs like it and, again,
does not possess the power of flying, but
can jump in the clear, by the assistance
of its wings, from twenty-five to forty
feet. raising seven or eight feet in its
jump. This is also Il characteristic of
the ostrich, which does not fly, but, by
Tapping its wings and heeling and toe
ing the dust, gets away with the turf so
as to astonish the fastest horse. The
roadrunner did the same thing, and not
only astonished Mr.. Tully, but Mr..
Mithel also, who was making terrific
race after it on horseback, the object
being to run it down. During the race
the roadrunner took to the low-hmbed
trees frequently, jumping from branch
to branch, making it decidedly interes-
ting as well as hot for the pursuers, as
Mr., Tully had to climb and drive it out.
1t was finally run down and captured
alive by AR. Tully, but soon thereafter
escaped from the box, and before it
could be run down again it was caught
by the dog and unfortunately killed.
In Southern California, where the char
acter Of the road runner is better known
the Mexicans and Indians never kill it,
They say that it is the deadly enemy to
the rattlesnake. Its mode of warfare is
one of Judgment, the favorite mode of
attack being when the snake is asleep :;
it then gathers cactus, and after circing

him up with a pick, or by dropping one

'Eilie, you are not hurt ?" were Paul
Lacy's first words.
''No," she faltered.
'He was a robber," said Lacy, hold
ing the light to the dead face. 'sAll my
valuables are collected for removal in
the room below"
He returned. down stairs, Ellie and the
dog followed with him. In the basket
upon the table were two watches, money,
and table silver. The unspoken thought
in both minds made them turn toward
the door of the new servant.
Paul knocked, then opened the door.
The apartment was unoccupied. The
female disguise was strewn about, and
beside the bed stood pair of unmistak-
able mans boots. There was O pistol
case open on the table, scent of liquor
in the room. The new servant had been
a man.
Paul opened the carpet-bag. It con-
tanned burglars tools, a flask of whisky,
case of jewelry, probably stolen, and
black mask.

sobbed Ellie, even then not forgetting
her grievance. 81 will keep house for
you"
They went back to examine the dead
man. He was dark evil-looking fell
low, with black beard upon his chin,
which the bandage had concealed, and
scar across his cheek. At day break his
body was given in charge of the officers
at Munroe, and proved to have been a
most dangerous character.
And what did Paul Lacy do for help
In three days Ellie abundantly proved
to him that she could manage the house
hold At the end of that time, there
arrived, through Miss Esmeralda's not
unkind exertions, a stout and faithful
negro girl, and Paul Lacy married pret-
ty Ellie, and made her Chloe's mistress.
If he had searched the world over, he
could not have found better wife-as
time has proved.

MEASURING THE BABY.

We measured the riotous baby
Against the cottage wall
A lily grew at the threshold
And the boy was just as tall
A royal tiger lily,
With spot of purple and gold,
And a heart like a jeweled chalice,
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blackbirds whistled,
High up in the old roof trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never a moment still.
Snatching at SnnShin and shadow
That danced on the lattice SILL
His eyes were wide as bluebells,
His mouth like flower unblown,
Two little bare feet, like funny white mice,
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought, with a thrill of rapture,
That yet had a touch of pain,
When June rolls round with her roses,
Well measure the baby again.
Ah me in darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through bitter tears, that fell like rain,
We measured our boy to-day;
And the little bare feet that were dimpled,
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together,
In hush of sweet repoSe.
Up from the dainty pillow,
White as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
WuL The light of heaven thereon
And the dear little hands, like rose leaves
Dropped from q rose, lay still,
Never to snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleepless baby
With ribbons white az snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below:
And out of the darkened chamber
We went, with childish moan,
To the height of the sinless angels
Our little one has gone.

AN apparatus for washing smoke, and
thus depriving it of its character of a
nuisance, IS in operation at factory at
Menimontant Paris. A f-ie shower of
water, travelling in the direction of the
smoke, and at five times its velocity, is
projected into the chimney, where it
mixes with the smoke, taking up the
soluble gases and preapitating the i'm
purities carried up with the smoke by the
draught. The foul water is discharged
into cistern, where it is collected aud
fine black paint is got from it.

IT is striking fact surely that the
dying never weep. The sobbing, heart
breaking agony of the circle aroud the
death bed call forth no responsive tears
from the dying. Is it because he is in
SENSIBLE and stiff in the chill of dissolu-
ton? That cannot be- for he asks for
his fathers hand as if to gain strength
in the mortal struggle, and leans on the
breast of his mother, sister or brother in
still unconscious affection. Just before
expiring he calls the loved ones, and
says, with quivering lips, ''kiss me, -
showing that the love which he has ever
borne in his heart is still fresh and warm,
1t must be the dying having reached a
point too deep for weeping. They are

On the 18th of May last registered
letter containing e10 English money
was put in the New York Postofice for
New Lebanon, N. Y, and some six
weeks afterward the Postoffice Depart
ment received a complaint of its non
delivery. A careful investigation was
made, and the letter was traced into the
hands of the mail agent, who declared
that he had put the package in the
pouch for New Lebanon, but the Post
master at that place declared he had
never received the package, The route
agent having failed to report the refusal
of the Postmaster to receipt for the
package had it been delivered, or other
wise having failed to deliver it, was dis
charged, and the matter rested until the
Postmaster at Bristol, Pa. reported a
registered package for New Lebanon as
having carelessly been sent to his office.
Inquiry revealed the fact that this was
the package lost last May. It is sup
posed that the pouch, after being emp
tied at New Lebanon, was returned to
the New York office, and was stored
away with the reserved pouches until
the time it was again put to use for the
BRISTOL mail, and that the registered let
ter in question had lain in it during the
whole period. The Postmaster at New
Lebanon has been recommended for re-
moval, for negligence in failing to see
that the pouch was entirely emptied
when he received it. The package has
finally reached the person to whom it
was addressed.

A VERY distinct shock OF an earth
quake was felt at Manhattan, Kan, at 5
o'clock Monday forenoon. 1t is de-
scribed as successive slight shocks by
some, and by others as motion simi-
lar to that of the hopper of a mill. The
agitation seems to have passed from east
to west, though few say from south to
north. 1t was accompanied by heavy,
dull rumbling sound. Buildings We're
considerably shaken, and the inmates
in some case much alarmed, but no dam
age was done. The shock was follow
ed by light rain, which continued for 18
hours.
