A CURIOUS DREAM.
The Startling Manner in Which 1t "
Verified.

The Startling Manner in Which 1t Was
Verified.
Mr.. Charles Knickerbocker, New
York broker, who is given to practical
jokes, is at present in Europe. He is
travelling for his health. He is spending
the winter in Rome. A few nights ago
his wife, who lives on Madison avenue,
dreamed that ,he was dead. The dream
was so natural that it made profound
impression on her. She felt sure that
something serious had happened to him.
She was filled with dismal forebodings,
although she is not what may be called
superstitious woman.
A few days afterward she received a
cablegram. She tore open the envelope,
and holding one hand to her beating
heart. she read:
ROME, Jan. q, 1SS6-In an hour from now
Twill no longer be with the living, but with
the dead. Before you read this l will be
under the sod
She gasped for breath. Every thing
swan before her eyes. The cablegram
dropped from her nerveless hand.

as she sank in swoon on the floor.
A moment later her faithful maid
rushed in, and with the assistance of
some of the family, who had been
startled by the heavy fall, the PROSTATE
woman was raised from the floor and
her apparently lifeless body placed on
a sofa. The family physician was sum-
moned in hot haste. DR.. Salts applied
restoratives, and in few minutes the
unfortunate lady regained conscious
ness.
'You must not excite yourself. Try
and be calm" he said, soothingly.
"I-will-try-and -be-calm," she
said, gasping for breath and passing
her hands over her face, she exclaimed
in heart-rending accents, "please read
the rest of that cablegram.
The doctors hand trembled as he
picked up the cablegram. He managed
however. to control his voice sufficiently
to read:
ROME. Jan. q, 1ss6,-In an hour from now
will no longer be with the living, but with
the dead. Before you read this l will be
under the sod
| Once more the poor woman was con-
vulsed with anguish. Her grief was so
distressing that the doctor was obliged
to pause.
Charlie, I'll soon meet you on the
other Shore" and, turning to the
doctor, she added, ''Read the rest. Let
me know the very worst" she sobbed.
The doctor cleared his throat and
began to read:

INDOOR LIFE.


Suggestion of a Punishment That Would
Fit Many Americans.
AT Troy Wallace Ross and Fred
Plaisted rowed a match in aroller rink;
rowed around in two rowing machines
on castors. This is probably about the
last thing that will be introduced into
the roller rink, unless a race between
ocean steamers on wheels can be ar
ranged. Little by little the American
people are learning to take all their
field sports in the house when the first
white frost comes. Croquet was
brought into the parlor ten years ago;
then some lazy villain invented the par
lor rifle, and all the targets and rifle
ranges were brought into the house.
Then the ringing steel blades were
taken off the skates and wooden cas-
tors substituted, and the lake was
moved into the house and boarded over
with yellow pine. Foot bail, polo,
| walking matches, target practice, base
ball cricket, all the field sports, have
been taken into the parlor or the rink.
The horse races will be moved in next.
In little while America will have no
earthly use for "out-doors," not even
as place to be buried in, because,
after we have fenced in, tloored and
rooted oyer this entire continent, shut
out the sky and the air and the sun

| and stirred up the dust and breathed

vapors and gases, close a life of grad
ual incarceration. There should be a
law making it penitentiary offense
for man to take part in any game in
side roller rink that can be played in
the field, in the pure air and the bright
sunlight. Physically, we are growing
to be lazy, effeminate people, and I'M
less we are driven out of the rink, we
will never feel the turf spring or the
! snow crunch under our feet. The one
great reason why cremation finds so
much favor with Americans is because
our ideal of supreme comfort is to be

QUARTER CRACK.
A Common Ailment Among Horses and |
How to Treat 1t.

n COEnInOn ttIihleub Aiming hoIsos "AA
How to Treat 1t.
Quarter crack is common ailment
among horses kept much in hot stables
and standing on a dry floor. 1t is also
far more common in hot climates and
where the horses are driven much on
sandy, dry roads than in cool ones,
where the roads are wet and muddy.
There is first some fever in the feet
and legs, then the hoof becomes dry
and hard, the horn shrinking or con-
tracing, as it is called; then cracks
follow, either at the heel or toe. These
cracks usually extend completely
through the thickness of the hoof, eX-
posing the sensitive parts underneath,
and more or less Inflammation follows.
The only cure for such cracks is to be
sought in a new growth of the hoof,
or, in other words, the crack must be
obliterated by growth of horn from
above downward, as the horn, when
once broken or cracked, will not grow
| together or unite at its edges. The
most common practice is to completely
clean out the crack with warm water
anu TcIIlcNt dll lOOSC SlllCtto Va iiOl II,
and then cross-fire the hoof with hot
iron. Only very slight burn will be
needed at the coronet, merely sufficient
to excite new growth of horn at this
point. The edges of the horn at both
sides of the crack its entire length may
be burned, but not deep enough to in
jure the sensitive parts underneath.
After firing fill the crack with tar or
pitch and bind the hoof with waxed
thread. Examine the hoof frequently
and see that the new growth of horn of
the coronet starts solid and without
crack. If it does not do this repeat the
firing at that point until the new
growth is satisfactory. A bar shoe will
be necessary when the crack extends to
the bottom of the hoof. 1t will take
months for the crack to grow out under
the most favorable conditions; conse-
quently considerable patience will be
required in treating the animal. The
hoofs may be oiled occasionally with
neatsfoot oil and kerosene, about two
parts of the former to one of the latter.

VOICES OF PROPHECY.

When to the woodland was wont to repair,
In the season of pleasure and mirth,
1t rustled TO myriad tiocks of the air
And numberless tribes of the EARTH.
How slender the sound that is echoed here
now
These bright frozen arches to thrill
The snap of twig or the creak of q bough,
Or the sigh of the wind ON the hill.
The nest of the warbler is empty and tossed
The partridge is lonely and shy;
And clad in livery white as the frost,
The rabbit slips silently by.
The squirrel is hid in the heart of tree,
Secure from the sleet and the snow.
And who was so merry and saucy as hep
The iauntest fellow l knowl
Yet, under the burden of ice at it's brink,
All shining and CLASSY and gray,
The sweet-throated stream where l loitered
to drink
Is murmuring still on its way.
And hark what note from the dus1y re-
treat
The bird of the winter sends forth!
Who taught you defiance of tempest and
sleet,
o. lover and loved of the North?
Though forest and hillside are heavy with
snow,
Yet hope is alive in the breast
The water, imprisoned, is calling below;
The chickadee chirps of her nest!

Good" said the American LET

log"
The Indian wonderingly obeyed.l
The doctor let fall one drop of liquid
upon it from a vial which he took out
of the box, and when he held up the
robe, the savages saw with secret ter
ror that it was scorched right through
as if with hot iron, and that hole
was burned in the wood below it.
''Can We bear a shower of rain like
Hatif bring it down upon you?" cried
the American, sternly. "Or what will
ye say if 1 turn your streams into
blood? Look here!'
He filled bark cup from the brook,
and with one drop from a second vial
out of his wonderful box turned the
water blood red.
The Indians looked at each other in
silent terror, and even the daring
young chief drew back.
The doctor eyed them in silence for
few moments. as if to let this lesson
sink well into their minds before he
went any farther. Then he stopped
once more over the inexhaustible box,
and drew forth a third vial, which he
held up so that the whole assembly
could see it.
A fearful-looking vial it was in the
eyes of the dismayed savagcs-long,
narrow. with neck twisting like q
snake, and all of a jet-black color, with
which the ivory stopper, carved into
the shape of skull, contrasted grimly
| enough.
''Beholdr' shouted the American, in
a voice of thunder; sin this bottle |
hold the spirit of the smallpox who
destroyed so many of YOU twelve
moons ago. Say but one word more
and will let him loose to sweep you
from the earth. -
A cry of terror broke from every lip,
and in moment the whole band (in-
Guiding even the chief himsclf were at
the feet of the ''mcdicine-man, implor-
ing him not to smite them with the
fatal pestilence whose awful ravages
were still fresh in their memory.
$50 be it," said the doctor, with the
air of a king receiving a deputaton.
80 long as the hearts of the Shaways
are clear and their tongues straight all
shall be well; but the moment cloud
rises between us the death vial shall be-
opened.
The mere threat was quite enough
for the terrified savagcs, and although
the doctors fair dealing afterward won
the favor of the whole tribe their awe
of his 'great medicine never quite

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
OUR TREASURE.

We have little woman home,
Her height is only three feet three:
But she is just the sweetest one
That mortal eyes could ever see.
No matter what storm signals" say,
Nor how the heavy rain clouds lower,
The little woman in our home
Makes sunshine every hour.
Perhaps It's scattered from her curls.
I'll tell you what's my firm belief
think q little golden ray
OF sunshine, somehow, came to grief,
And, falling on her dainty head,
Thought mid its tresses it would hide,
And then, enalnored Of its nest
Resolved there TO abide.
And then, think tho fogs, one night,
When earth was lost i'll sweet repose,
Pilfered the fragrant, dainty tintS
Enclosed within Il sleeping rose;
Then stole from out pansy's heart
Two lmpid drops of pertumed dew,
And then they bathed her cheeks and
eyes,
Giving them thus their witching hue.
If pain or worry scans my brow,
Our little woman finds it out,
And by the sunshine of her smiles
Soon puts the 'vapors' all to rout.
There's magic in her gentle touch,
And i'll her laughing, vibrant voice;
The sound of her light, springing step
Can make my heart rejoice.
She's like q 1ash-now hero. now there.
And always on her nimble feet.
She's all about the house ut once,
With happy song and laughter sweet.
When, sometimes, tear-drops dim her eyes
Like showers on an April day,
They've scarcely fallen erN her smiles
Have chased them all away.
Dear little woman! Her tiny hands
Smooth many pain and fret away.
She brings into the sweet home life
An added beauty every day.
And yet she's but q wee, wee maid
A laughing, dancing, merry sprite;
But ah, our little woman still,
Our treasure, our l'ght

POOLING SMOKERS.
How They Are Made to Pay High Prices
for ''Smuggled" Cigars.

Il
for "Smuggled" Cigars.
There are many people in New
York. said Colonel Brooks, of
the internal revenue service, to
a reporter recently, "who labor
under the impression that they
are buying Struggled cigars, when
they are really getting the cheapest
domestic cigars made. There are some
very expert swindlers about town, and
l have no doubt that they have found
many victims. As a matter of fact
there are very few foreign cigars
Struggled into this country. There are
too many risks in the first place, anG
then the penalty is nearly always en-
forced. The majority of contraband
cigars that are brought to the United
States come in the pockets of tourists,
and a man can't carry many cigars con-
cealed in his clothing.
"You would be surprised to know
how many people in New York are in
duced to buy alleged smuggled cigars,
and in most cases they are badly
swindled.
can operator in alleged Struggled
cigars displays considerable genius in
his makeup for his part. He first
stains his hands and then puts on an
old suit of sailors clothing. He buys
box of the cheapest cigars he can
find, takes them from the box and rolls
them in newspaper. He then gets a
good fifteen or twenty-cent cigar,
which he puts in with the other cigars,
Thus equipped, with ga fresh lot of
imported cigars that have never paid
any duty" he starts out in search OF a
customer. To his victim he whispers
the words Struggled, very cheap,
and then pulling out the good cigar,
says try one Of course it smokes all
right and the victim is tempted to take
the whole lot at ten dollars hundred
or similar price, when they actually
cost less than two cents apiece.
"Swindlers make a practice of hand
| ling little better quality of cigars.
They buy domestic grades for eight
and ten cents apiece, and then retail
them among their customers for from
eighteen 10 twenty-five cents straight.
These men have their regular custom
ers and furnish them with nearly all
their cigars. They sell very fair cigars,
but their customers pay them three
times what they are worth because, as
they imagine, they are Struggled.
''There are large retail dealers who
practice deception on their customers,
One man, especially, has been reported
to me hundred times as violating the
revenue laws, but there is not dealer
in New York who is more careful in
complying with the law. He is too
sharp to break it, but | will venture to
say that there are good many people
in New York who would be willing to
swear that he does. He keeps certain
quantity of cigars under his counter.
A customer comes in, gives him wink,
the dealer smiles softly, reaches his
hand down under the counter, takes a
bundle of cigars out of regularly
stamped box, wraps it up in a news
paper, and passes it over TO his customer
admonishing him to be careful. The
customer then steals out of the store
with the air of man who has stoler
something. There is no occasion fol
him to feel badly. He has only paiC
two prices for an ordinary domestic
cigar.-N. Y. World.

Yes, my son, it is possible for you to

ing successfully every day the rare feat
of keeping your mouth shut at the
right time, of never utteringa sentence
until you have first weighed it careful
ly in your mind, revised it and adjust
ed it accurately to existing conditions
of things. Yes, you can do that. But
then, you won't do any thing else. No,
my boy, if you do that, always, you
won't do one other lingering, solitary,
lonesome thing in all your life. You
will have time to do nothing EXCEPT to
think what you are going to say and
how you are going to say it, and then

your mouth, the man you were going
to say it to will have grown weary of
