A Soldiers Dream.

Just before the battle OF Cedar Greek
a camp sentinel who was off duty tenn
porarily and trying to put in a little
sleep, dreamed that he. went out on a
scout. A mile to the right of the camp
he came upon log barn, and as it began
to rain just then, he sought shelter, or
was about to, when he heard voices and
discovered that the place was already
occupied. After little investigation he
discovered scouts had taken up their
quarters for the night in the place, and
he therefore moved away. The sentinel
awoke with such vivid remembrance OF
the details that he asked permission to
go over and confer with one of the scouts.
When the log barn was described to this
man he located it at once, having passed
it dozen times. The dreamer described
the highway exactly as it was, giving
every hill and turn, and the scout put
such faith in the remainder of the dream
that he took four soldiers, one of whom
was the dreamer, and set out for the
place. Three Confederate scouts were
asleep in the straw, and were taken with
out shot being fired
Three days before the affair at Reeleys
Ford corporal i'll the Sixth Michigan
Cavalry dreamed that a brother of his,
who was sergeant III another company,
would have his horse killed Ill action,
and would almost Immediately mount a
dark bay horse with white nose Within
five minutes both horse and rider would
be killed by shell. This dream was
related to more than score of comrades
fully two days before the fight. Early
III the fight the sergeant's horse was
struck square in the forhead by bullet
and dropped dead in his tracks. 1t was
scarcely three minutes before white
nosed horse, carrying blood-stained
saddle galloped up to the sergeant and
halted. He remembered the dream and
refused to mount the animal, and soon
after picked up black horse. The
white-nosed animal was mounted by a
second corporal in another regiment,
and the horse and rider were torn to frag-
ments by shell, in full sight of four
companies of the Sixth.-NeW York

Decline of the Italian Race.
" Fishers, and choppers, and plowmen,
shall constitute State"

One of the reasons for the deformed.
rickety, dirty. wretched, thievish inhab-
itants of Italy is the total absence of
proper sanitary arrangements Ill Italian
towns and villages, from the palace to
the hovel and room tenement. Italy
the land of sunshine, art and sCng-is a
land of filth ard vermin. There are
marble palaces, art galleries and blue
skies, but neither sewers, drains nor ade-
quate scavenging. Hence strangers who
are tempted to visit the world-renowned
cities pay fearful penalty in risks from
fever and certainty of mosquito stings,
as also of punishment from other do
nestle torments. There is not one
Italian city properly severed, drained
and scavenged. The best hotels use
cesspools, out of which pass foul gases
and putrid fluids to contaminate both
air and water.
Ironclads with 100-ton guns, Royal
Cuirassiers, Royal Carabinieri, customs
officers, excisemen, police, municipal
guards and Jesuits will avail Italy moth
ing in removing the fearful causes of
disease and human distortion. When
will statesmen learn that the greatness
and strength of nation are not alone In
magnificent cities, palaces, ironclatls
and standing armies, but in the health,
comfort and content of the people? The
further lesson also requires to be learned,
namely, that, where the mass of the peo-
pie are allowed to grovel in filth and
misery, there can be no true security for
property. A Whit of grape-shot will not
cure such disease.

Jack, servant, was summoned. Jack,

A New Boston Notion.

The purpose of the Institute of
Heredity" is sufficiently shown in four
page circular which has been sent out
from Boston. 1t is intended ''to recon-
struct and establish the foundations of
social order upon the natural laws of
human life and relations" We are told
that ''the causes" of great many social
disorders and misfortunes, indeed almost
all OF them, "are congenital. People
who are born with theft and murder in
their blood will steal and kill" Further
1T Is insisted that 1.-The public good re-
quires, rs essential conditions of its
peace, safety and welfare that the citizens
OF the future shall not come to their So
cial tasks burdened in advance with in
herited tendencies to disease or vice or
crime; for, on becoming public burdens.
such citizens only react the wrong first
committed against them" This is suffi-
GENTLY specific. The difficulty in the
case is that, adopting the premises and
conceding the conclusions, it is one
thing to put the remedy for these great
and growing ills upon paper and it Is
quite another thing to put them into
practice.-NeW York Fleming Post.

Ben had only seen the mother as she
ran out In frantic alarm.
Ben reached the cowcatcher and threw
himself-utterly reckless-prone upon
his stomach across the extreme front

he waited to grasp the child.
Quick as thought she was reached.
The train had slackened to ten miles an

it from the track. but the effort destroyed

on the child was dragging him to de-

flung the child clear of the train; and

bitter tears as she knelt over the lifeless

A Cat Story.

A man now living in Kingston emf
grated to the West many years ago, and
bought house which had stood unoccu-
pied for considerable time. The first
night he heard sounds which convinced
him that there were rats In the cellar,
and on investigation he found that hum
dreds of the creatures were disporting
themselves there. Having eaten quar-
ter of beef down to the bone, they were
playing tag among the shelves and boxes.
He offered to introduce the family cat,
but she declined to be presented. The
next day she was missing, and the fam.
ily thought they had lost her; but on tho
fourth day a familiar ''meow" was heard,
and there was tabby at the head of col.
umn of three dozen cats in light march,
ing order, their backs up and their tailg
rampant. The front door was opened
and the detachment moved down the
cellar stairs in good order. The next
morning flour barrel full of dead rats
was buried behind the house, and the
cats returned to their homes -Ne,o York

Brother Bartholomew, working time,
Would fall into musing and drop his tools;
brother Bartholomew cared for rhyme
More than for theses OF the schools;
For gair or losing, for veal or woe,
God made him poet, long ago.
At mathis he sat the book ON hts knees,
And his thoughts wandering far, wis;
The brotherhood ohanted the iitanies,
While he had no praying to do but this:
Watching through arched windows high
The birds that sailed DER the morning sky.
At complin hour, in the chapel dim,
He went 10 his stall and kneit with the rest
And Oft on the wings of the evening hymn,
Would his soul noat out 10 the nights fair breast
And ever to him the starry host
Planned bright AS the tongue at Penteoost
a foolish rhymestcr and nothing moro;
The Idle fellow a cell can hold;"
SO judged the worthy lsidor,
Prior OF ancient Nithiswold;
Yet somehow, with dispraise content,
Signed not the culprit's banishment
Meanwhile bartholomew went his way,
And patiently wrote In his sunny cell;
His pen fast traveed from day TO day.
Hi books were covered, the walls AZ well.
He were better pious monk instead
OF a hstless dawdler," the Prior said
Bartholomew died, as mortals must:
His spirit went free from the cowled throng;
And after, they took from the dark and dust
OF shelves aud corners many song,
That cried from Britain 10 far Cathay
How bard had risen--and passed away.
Wonderful verses fair AMI fine,
Full of the old Greek loveiness;
The seer-like vision, baf divine;
Pathos and merriment In excess;
And every careful stanza told
OF love and of labor manifold
The King came out and stood beside
Batholomew's tapcr-lighted bier,
And, turning to his lords, ne sighed

Self Control.

In some people passion and emotion
are never checked, but allowed to burst
out in blaze whenever they come.
Others suppress them by main force,
and preserve callous exterior when
there are raging fires within. Others
are never excited over anything. Some
govern themselves on some subjects.
but not on others. Very much can be
done by culture to give the will control
over the felings. One of the very best
means OF culture is the persistent with
drawing of the mind from the subject
which produces the emotion, and con-
centrating it elsewhere. The man or
woman who persistently permits the
mind to dwell on disagreeable themes
only spites him or herself. Children. of
course, have less self control, and so par
ents and teachers must help them to
turn their attention from that which ex-
cites them to something else; but
adults, when they act like children.
ought to be ashamed of themselves. The
value of self control as hygienic agent
is very great. It prevents the great
waste of vitality in feeling, emotion
and passion. It helps to give one a
mastery over pain and distress, rather

Nicotine Poisoning.

A rather unusual case Of poisoning by
nicotine occurred in a Paris suburb.
The victiIa, a man in the prime of life,
had been cleaning his pipe with clasp
knife; with this he accidentally cut one
of his fingers subsequently, but as the
wound was of trivial nature he paid no
heed to it. Five or six hours later.
however, the cut finger grew painful
and became much swollen; the infam-
nation rapidly spread to the arm and
shoulder, the patient suffering such In
tense pain that he was obliged to betake
himself to bed. Medical assistance was
called, and ordinary remedies proved In
efectual. The sick man. questioned as
to the manner In which he cut himself,
explained the use to which the pocket
knife had been applied, adding that he
had omitted to wipe it after cleaning the
pipe. The case was now understood,
and, the patients state becoming alarm
ing, he was conveyed to the hospital.
There the doctors decided amputation of
the arm to be the only hope of saving
the patients life, and this was immedi-
ately done.
