what he called ! coincidence.

II used to travel around the coun-
try with apatent hay fork" said the
man with q green patch on his left
eye as it came his turn to tell astory.
Il am not going to say anything
aboutthatpaten than that no
farmer ever got any bele6t from it.
What l wish to bring out is what
might be called o curious coincidence
and one that / have kicked myself
over O hundred times.
"Itwas in this way" he continued,
as he got settled back on his seat.
Farmers have their weak spots the
same as other folks. You can hit
some Of them by praising their build
ings, Others bv admiring their horses,
others, again, through their hogs or
calves. I had a way Of hitting them
all, and it worked to my great profit
every time. When I got up in the
morning, after staying all night with
afarmer, I got off something as fol-
lows:
II had a very curious dream last
night, I dreamed that ! was digging
out behind your barn, just on a line
with big knot-hole in the sixth
board from the west end, and 1 un-
eartheda tin box containing $4,000
in greenbacks. The dream was so
vivid thatI almost feel the box in my
hands. There's nothing in dreams,
OF course, but I never had one which
seemed SO real
mind you, I had taken notice of
the knothole the evening before.
Sometimes l fixed the place behind
the barn, and sometimes near q
stump, or SO many PAGES from q GER
tain tree or straw stack, but it
was settled on beforehand. It wasn't
one time in twenty that a farmer
would charge me for my lodgings
after giving him this dream. I hit
'em plumb center. and they were only
too anxious to get me out of the. way
SO they could begin digging"
"Go on" said several voices, as he
made a long pause.
"Well," one morning, after lodging
with a farmer all night and getting
his note for $50 for q hayfork. I re-
lated the usual dream in the usual
way. This time twas buried treasure
beneath a stump near his barn. I
saw that he was hard hit at once,
and he left me eating breakfast and
went down to dig. was chuckling
over his greenness when he came
walking in with a tin box under his
arm"
"You don't sayl"
"But I do, and it was a box he
had dug out a foot or
so below the surface, 1t
was broken open right then and
there, and may I be drowned for a
yeller dog if the contents didn't pan
out &,625 in just as good green
backs as you ever saw"
"But-but--"
"There was NO butts about it. He
found the money and kept it, as was
nissright, and no one ever came to
claim it.. This 80 bill was q part of
it. He gave it to me as O reward
for my dream, and Pm keeping it as
a relic to show what a fool a man
can make of himself. That's all,
gentlemen-all except that I want
some of you to kick me as soon as
convenient. New York Sun.

Eccentric Funeral Directions.

From the Louisville Courier.
The funeral of DR.. III. HI. Tucker,
an eminent Baptist divine, which
took place at Atlanta a few days
ago, was unique in many respects. DR..
Tucker left a letter giving instruc-
tions concerning his funeral. He d.
rected that he be buried in a coffin of
wood thatit might rot. He instruct
ed that prayers be offered for any
body connected by affinity or con-
sanguinity with, his family: for any
body who had ever done a favor or
good turn for him or his family; for
everybody who had injured him in
any way. There was to be no ad-
dress of any kind at the funeral and
no music, only prayer and reading
of Scripture. His orders were car.
ried out to the letter.

to cur an agreement upon an i'm
proved code Of marine signals. with
view to es.sincrsassd &4sa safety s..of
navigation. The subjects to be
discussed are marine signals to indicate the
course Of vesssls in fog, mist, snow and at
