A Lively Bank Account.

A Tribune reporter who was max
inc his usual weekly deposit at an up
town savings bank, occupied place
behind a red-haired. freekiel boy Of
the Office messenger type. After pass
ing up a battered and dog-earcd bank
book to the receiving teller, he pro-
ceeded to explore one after another OF
his numerous pockets. A long search
among miscellaneous assortment OF
keys, knives, match-safes and other
articles finally developed the sum of
IS cents, which he handed up with a
malign twinkle IN his shrewd gray eye.
$50 your back again?" growled the
receiving teller, as he chased the coins
over the slippery surface of the glass
on the extreme edge of which the boy
had carefully arranged them. You're
running down pretty low on your ae-
count. | suppose you are afraid the
bank would fail if you had more than
a dollar here at a time. "

boy in a ruminative tone; 81 don't
wanter run no risks. / know fe.ler

brother had six dollars wunst in 9 big
bank downtown eleven or eight years
ago and it busted an he never got only
go cents outen it. :"
"Well," said the teller in peppery
way, as he shut the book with snap,
'any time you're afraid OF your money
you Just come around and let me
know, and iii see you get it. Your
account is too lively for us anyway.
We can't keep it in sight half the time,

an aff.ctation of the greatest interest.

and if I'd known you drew that money

to tell you, you would have slipped out
on it.
What people don't know don't hurt
'em, answered The boy with grin.
'Well, now, see here" continued
the teller, as he handed the book over,

Dreams and strange FulalImenss.

A French writer says that to dream
well we must act well while we are
awake, and to bring down beings OF
celestial origin to converse with us in
our sleep we mus. struggle in the cause
of virtue during the day. The dream
of Caesar wife, when the Ides of March
had come, as related by Piutarch, is
full of interest. Caesar was much dis
turbed by the groans she uttered in her
sleep and awoke her. She then told
him that she had dreamed of holding
him murdered in her arms. On the
following day, SC deeply was the dream
impressed upon her mind and SO great
the terror it Inspired, that she implored
him to remain at home that day and
adjourn the meeting of the Senate. He
was startled. and knowing her to be a
woman of fearless mind and, in nowise
superstitious, he offered sacrifices and
consulted astrologers, bv whom ne was
advised to adjourn the Senate. But he
was persuaded to do otherwise. by one
OF the conspirators against his life. who
laughed at the dream and urged Caesar
not to offend the Ssnate Just when they
were about to crown his ambitious de-
sires. Caesar listened to the treacher-
Gus voice and went to meet his death.
Lord Bacon records dream he had,
In which he saw his fathers house in
the country plastered all over with
black mortar. and he had no doubt on
awakening that he would hear evil
tidings. His father died on the very
night on which he dreamed
A gentleman relates the following:
''One evening some two years since,
my brother, an officer in the army, sur
prised me with late visit, Just as my
family was retiring to rest Brother
exclaimed he, in an excited manner,

ing at some distance from the town
where we were, and was, 50 far as we
knew, in good health. L have seen her
pass me twice this evening in my room,
while j was in bed, with her head
bandaged up, and could not rest until
saw you. was his answer. La conse-
quence of his entreaties and conviction,
it was determined to take the first train
to the locality where our mother re-
sided, and upon our arrival we found,
to our great surprise, that she died the
evening before, quite suddenly, at the
exact hour my brother dreamed he saw
the apparition.
Franklin had several Of his projects
decided for him BY dreams. Goethe
says III his memoirs: 1.-The objects
which had occupied my mind during
the day often rcappeared at night IN
connected dreams. The celebrated
dream of Thomas Lord Lyttleton. in
which he dreamed bird dew into the
room where he slept. and while he
looked at ii changed into the form Of
a female whom he had wronged. who
told him 70 prepare for another world,
rs IN three days he would die. He was
well then, and laughingiy said he did

Some Peouliarlties Of Divorce.

M. Bertillon, the editor of the ''An-
mails of Demography," has been giving
lecture in which he sets forth the fact
that the households in which divorces
are most common are those where the
consorts are most nearly of the same
age. Where there is great disparity
of age it is necessary to make a com.
plete distinction between cases where
the elder party is the husband and
where he is not. Old husbands, for
some reason or other, seem to be better
able to retain the affections of their
wives, or at any rate to maintain legal
possession of their better halves, than
young ones; for, as the man is older in
proportion to the woman, so is he less
frequently divorced from her, With
women it is altogether different, for the
Older they are in proportion to their
husbands the more likely they are to
part or be parted from them. In max
ing these comparisons, judicial separa-
ti6ns--in countries where divorce is not
parmitted-are counted as divorces.
Bat NJ Bertillon finds that in countries
where divorce is prohibited suicides
fIibm domestic trouble" and poison
iIlgs are much more frequent than else
where.
A Family of Asinary Gems.
Nor must we forget that if there are
women who strive TO unsex themselves
by becoming too masculine, 50 there ar
men who most effectually unsex them
selves by a general emasculation o.
dress and manner which would readi.J'
strike a stranger from another plaprt
as representing transition period be-
tween the sexes. If manish woma1
otfends our good taste and judgment
aiwomanish man is an insipid embodi-
ment of nothingness, and ought to be
treated as a geological curiosity repre-
sSnting some hitherto unknown family
IL the asinary genus. From these con-
Eiderations il therefore follows that if
there are female oddities who furnish
the weapons OF satire to those who are
opposed to the advancement of women
there are also masculine oddities who
show how closely q man can sometimes
resemble a monkey. Touching the inn
portant questions of life in the most
remote and superficial manner, and
representing a phase which cannot be
seriously treated, these peculiar Great
ures excite our visibility and cause US
TO abandon ourselves 10 the claims of
Democritus, the laughing philosopher.
Much as the study of these superficial
tiles may amuse us, they do not, how
ever, and they cannot, reach those
strata of evidence from which we must
draw our conclusions if we desire to be
philosophical and consistent. Henry

CraniaI OtaCoustic.

NNHIS INSTRUMENT IS CALLED THE
i ORANIAL OTAOOUSTIC, or Ear Trum-
pet. Seeing the dissdv antsge and bad results
arising from the use Of the ordinary tin
trumpet, has led me to the construction OF an
instrument which would render the assist
ance of trumpet, aud yet could be placed
upon the head. After many trials, the follow
ing instrument has been made for me. 1t 10
of black vulcanized rubber. and weighs an
ounce and a quarter. The Otscoustic RESENT
bles the sphenoid bone in shape and relation.
1t is placed on the top of the head. with tubes
running from the sounding chamber into the
ears, thereby gaining all the assistance rem
dered through the bones and nerves OF the
head. have found that when the sound re.
ceiving chamber is in contact with the bones
of the head the effect of the trumpet as an aid
to hearing is considerably increased, and dear
persons can hear much more distinctly than
with the ordinary ear trumpet, the sound-re-
ceiving chamber of which IL distant from the
head. 1t will he seen that the trumpet.
formed as described. is much more conyen-
lent than the ordinary form, since II does
away with the annoyance and embarrassment
of carrying trumpet In the hand. It can be

How the Darkies Play Base Ball.

A number of negro boys assembled
near the new gas works to play base
ball. The game, rs played by the
boys, has peculiar features, and is a
regular skin game. The pitcher and
catcher are partners, and the catcher
serves also in the capacity of umpire.
Two sides of seven boys each are form
ed. the partnership battery serving
both mines, or rather both Seyens.
Each boy pays nickel to the battery,
who own the ball and bat At the be-
ginning OF the game there is 20 cents
in the treasury. The boys get nickel
for every run made. and, as the battery
is far ahead of the average PLAYER,
very few runs are made. When the
game is finished the boys ante up an
other nickel and new game is played.
In this way the battery comes out
ahead. Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.

A Lesson in Tennis.


They played at tennis that summer day
Where was It'll oh, call 1t Mount Desert
The place matters not; will simply say,
And she wore short and striped skirt.
He played but ill,-'twas his FIRST essay
And she his partner and coach was both;
Though perhaps not up in the points of
play,
Yet she knew the game in a general way.
And to give him points seemed nothing
loath.
He did his best, but his best was poor;
The balls served to him on his side staid.
And thus it went on for a round or more.
TIL, anxious. he ventured to ask the score,
The scorer Why, its thirty-ioye," she
said.
And lover What is lover he fain would
know,
Yet blushed to ask it, for he could see
What pardonless ignorance he must show:
But she calmly answered him. speaking slow
why, love is nothing, you know" said she.
The sun of that summer day is set;
That season is gone, as seasons go;
But his heart was caught in that tennis-net,
And they might have been playing partners
yet,
Had she not given her answer NO"
lie plays no tennis all this year,
But he mopes, and moans and signs
heighoi-
That fate is so hard and life so drear.
And worse than all else, he remembers clear
That love Is nothing"-she told him so.
