All Had the Same Dream.

1t is most singular fact that under
certain combined conditions of fatigue.
discomfort and malaria whole bodies
of men, such as companies of soldiers,
have been seized by the same terrific
dream. and have been awakened SIM
ultaneously shrieking with terror.
Such an instance is related by Laurent.
when, after forced march, 800 French
soldiers were packed in q ruined Ca
labrian monastery which could lilac
comodate half that number. At mid
night frightful cries issued from every
corner of the building as frightened
men rushed from it, each declaring g
that it was the abode of the evil one
that they had seen him in the form OF
a big black dog, who threw himself
upon their breasts for an instant and
then disappeared. The men were per-
suaded to return to the same shelter
on the next night, their officers prom
ising to keep watch beside them.
Shortly after midnight the same scene
was re-enacted-the same cries, the
same flight, as the soldiers rushed
forth in a body to escape the suffocat.

wakeful officers had seen nothing

INFORMATION ABOUT WATCHES.
The Great Reduction in Price Effected in
Recent Years by Machinery.


"Gold watches are so common now.
adays that men don't take as much
Eride in wearing them as they did
ieweler to a Brooklyn Eagle reporter
the other day. "The individual who
could sport gold watch and chain
dozen years ago was considered per-
son of wealth and property. But he
isn't now. Why, you will find gold
watches in the pockets of our street.
car conductors, and have even known
them to wear handsome diamond
rings. Did you ever notice the osten-
tatious manner in which young man
handles his first gold watch? 1t is
rather amusing. Usually he carries it
in chamois leather pouch and is very
careful not to breathe on it or touch
the case with his fingers. He consults
it every fifteen minutes for the first
month, but he soon tires of it and then
considers it horrible bore to be asked
for the time. The demand for gold
watches was never greater than it is
to-day. Watch companies are kept
very busy filling orders and we retail
jewellers do good business in this
line"
''Why is it that watches are so much
cheaper now than few years ago?"
''Well, for one thing the watch
movements are great deal cheaper.
Gold is just exactly the same price per
pennyweight. The reduction in price
is confined to the movements. The
watch movements of the standard
American make are very cheap. Those
in common use in gold watches of the
cheapest grade are from SO to $40
each, and some of the best movements
are worth at wholesale S25 to $50.
There is, however, high-priced, fine
American movement which may cost
you, say, 500. but they are not put in
ordinary cases. A watch that you
paid 800 for few years ago you can
get to-day for 500, and this $50 watch
will have SO or SO movement in it.
For $50 you should get movement
cased in solid 14-karat gold, weighing
from forty-tive to fifty pennyweights.
The purchaser will get more service
out of 14-karat case than he will out
of an 1S-karat.n
"How can dealers offer the public
solid gold watches for $50 and 1852"
They are not solid by any means.
There are some unprincipled makers
who will mark case of 10 karat out
side and karat inside Il karat, and a
10 and Ii karat would be marked 18
karat. There is no law in America to
prevent this. The case is made of
composition which holds gold plat
ing finely. This composition is some
times very heavily plated, and will
wear for several years without show
ing the base metal. There is little
difficulty in disposing of them as solid
cases, and in this way the price is sur
prisingly low. There is more oppor-
tunity for deception in the movement
and case of a watch than in almost
any other article. The amount of
money invested in a watch offers much
inducement to experiment. The case
manufacturer is not necessarily obliged
to know much abut the movement of
a watch. He makes his cases to tit
the standard American sizes of move
ment and most makers produce uni
form size"

Queer Kentucky Lingo

The Kentucky mountain yernacular
has peculiarities which Charles Egbert
Craddock did not find or notice in her
Tennessee mountaineers. Here a man
who wants to say he fired two shots
saws he shot two shots. The Western
expression of getting the drop is never
used, mountaineer saying instead
that he "throwed his gun furst." The
pretixes in and i'm are not known, un
being used instead, as ''unpossible for
instance. To ''mislist' a man is to de
ceive and ill-treat him, and when a
man says '.his word is his jint' he
wants to convey the impression that he
is speaking as truthfully as if under
oath. The queer expressions are SO
numerous that it is hard to under
stand all that is said. A dialogue that
was a gem in its way was induiged in
by two young mountain gallants, one
asking: '.Be it mohe fur you to see
Nance this AFTERNOON" The answer
was: mo; don't have bound to. but
l aim to-" The man who has knocked
on door, when asked what he wants,
says, 81 want in," and in the same
style he would ask stranger, "How
might you call you?" They have nc

MADE HIS FORTUNE ON A SINGLE E
CARGO.
From the Lewiston Journal

FROM Int Lewiston journal.
Many Maine fortune was made in
the West India trade in olden times; but
few in the way told of Portland captain.
Toward the close of the last century this
captain sailed from Portland with car
go OF lumber for San Domingo. Arriv-
Ing at his destination, he found Touis.
SAINT, the negro leader, in possession of
the island, and was afraid to land. AS
he was about to put to sea again his ship
was boarded by squad of negro troops
under command of the renowned Christ
ophe. and urged to land, as lumber was
much needed on the island. Noticing
that the ships papers bearing the auto
graph of the President of the United
States, as was the custom in those days,
made great impression on Christophe,
the captain concluded to try their effect
on Touissant. Accordingly be landed,
and furnished with an escort by Christ
ophe, marched to the camp of the leader
This parsonage, upon being told that a
messenger with a letter from the Presi-
dent of the United States desired an in
terview with him, readily accorded it,
and the result of the interview was that
the lumber was exchanged for ali equal
quantity OF coffee, sugar and other goods
of the captains selection, exchanging
bulk for bulk. No ship ever sailed car
rylng so rich a cargo obtained upon such
favorable terms. The fortune Of the
captain was made. He retired from the
sea and settled down to a prosperous life
in Portland.

An Immigrant Picture.

There is something pathetic about
the shvness and forlorn appearance OF
a newly arrived immigrant. 1t is true
enough that his bashfulness wears off
rapidly and that he soon becomes ex-
ceedingly self-assertive and indepen-
dent. but on the day that he arrives at
Castle Garden he is SO weak and tired
that he hardly dares to ask question
of strangers. A family of Norwegians
were landed from steamer the other
day, who were, perhaps, rather more
timid than the average immigrants.
They were an odd-looking set. The
father and mother, both stout and red
face, dressed in rough, heavy gar
ments, and five children. The children
ranged from little girl about five
years old to a numbering, large-iimbed
bov of eighteen. The child was so
terribly overcome by the strangeness
of her surroundings that she held her
dirty little face pressed closely against
her mothers gown whenever anyone
looked at her. OF the three other chill
dren, one was Il tall, awkward girl,
who seemed to have lost her power of
speech, and the other two were chub-
>,
but too diffident TO look a stranger in
the face The whole family started
uptown along Broadway. Each one
of them. except the youngest, meas
ured the height of every building with
his eye, and the whole group seemed
amazed and stunned by the sights
around them. The writer happened
to walk behind them as far as City
Hall Park. Here he lost sight of
them. An hour or two afterward.
however, he saw the same group at
Fourteenth street and Broadway. They
had made their way up the street in a
half dream. humping into people and
hurrying over crossings. Where they
were going it would have been difficult
to tell, for they asked no questions.
The crowd was breaking around them,
hurrying and pushing and scatterin 9
away. but they were fixed, the child's
face still pressed against her mother S
gown. The new world to them must
have seemed at that moment an un-
inviting, cherries place. e.-Ntso York

In the Jaws Of q Whale.

George Leonard, an acting master
in the United States navy during the
civil war, and stationed on the gum
boat Katahdin. West Gulf blockading
squadron, in 1868, told story of he
roism and exhibited marks on his body
that corroborated his words, says let
ter in the Philadelphia Press. The
wear 1850 found Leonard as one of the
crew of the ship Enterprise, whaler,
in the North Pacific. One day he was
long distance from the ship with a
brave crew, who had sighted whale
and made for the monster with all pos
sible dispatch. When within proper
distance Leonard threw the harpoon,
striking the fish hard and deep. In
some manner the line, as it was run
ming out, caught the body OF one of
the men in such a way as to throw
him overheard. The man suddenly
sank, whereupon Leonard transferred
his line to boatmate and sprang into
the ocean in aid of the drowning
sailor.
The whale, now maddened by his
fast-howing blood, made a rush for
the boat. Remarkable and horrible to
relate, Leonard's friend had managed
to regain the boat, while he himself
was caught by the whale between its
jaws, his position being inside the
monsters mouth, with nothing pro-
truding but one of his arms. In this
manner the man was in reality within
the jaws of death itself. The whale
instantly plunged down into the deep.
and in the words of Leonard himself,
"the fish seemed to be going down,
down into eternity itself"
The imprisoned man, after all of
this. had not lost his presence of mind.
He mustered his entire bodily strength
and he was a powerful man-actual-

Robert Louis Stevenson is not about
to return to New York, as frequently
published. He has just finished his
cruising trip in the Pacific seas, and
expects to spend several months in the
Sandwich Islands. He was highly
disappointed to find the inhabitants of
the Pacific islands so civilized. He
had expected to discover the natives
savages of the most fierce and pictur-
esque sort imaginable, instead of which
he found them extremely amiable and
cultivated.

A NEGRO CUSTOM.
PLAYHINes PLACED ON THE GRAVES OF
CHILDREN.

While strollipg last Sunday q little way
outside the city limits, near the head of
riages filled with colored people entering.
an enclosure. / saw that it was GENE
terry, and followed. A stalwart negro
took fpm one of the carriages O small
coffin, and with the ceremony of short,
simple prayer it was deposited in the
earth. Six or eight friends of the babe
stood with tearfnl eyes during the few
minutes occupied in filling in the little
grave; then they reentered the carriages
and drove away. just before leaving, a
womsn whom I judge to be the bereaved
mother, laid upon the mound two or
three infants toys.
Looking about among the large num-
Der of graves Of children, observed this
practice to be very general. Some were
literally covered with playthings. There
were nursing bottles, rattle boxes, tin
horses and wagons, ''Noah's arks, sets
of dishes, marbles, tons, china cups and
sauprs, states, picture books, in endless
number and variety. Many of them had
apparently lain there for years, articles
OF perishable nature having been al
mos. destroyed by sun and storm.
There were very few children's graves
which did not have something of this
kind upon them. On many of the lar
ger graves were pretty vases, stuettes,
and other articles suitable to more adult
years.
Upon inquiry | was told that this GUS
tom is almost universal among the col
ored people in the South. Tle senti-
ment that prompts it readily suggests
itself, but it not quite SO easy to under
stand another feature which L noticed.
Upon fully half the graves, lying or
standing partly buried in the earth, were
medicine bottles of every size and shape.
Some were nearly full and contained
more or less of the medicine which bad
no doubt been used in the effort to ward
off the visit of death. The usual number
of these on each grave was from one to
three, but on one l counted eight. The
placing of these bottles is certainly a
singular conceit, and would seem to Dor
der on superstition. Just why they do
it is not clear. [ was impelled by curl
osity to inquire of two or three negroes
about it, but they seemed no better able
to explain it than I was. One old wo-
man who was lettering about the GENE
terry said, in answer to my question:
II KANT tell ye why, mister, but they
alters does it. When I was a chile, I
libed down in ole Virginny, an it was
jes' de same dar. Id'no, but mebbe dey
thinks de medisum III hep de chilen
arter dey's buried, but l don't see no
good in 1t nohow."
This is the nearest approach to an
opinion that 1 was able to get. 1 was
inclined to coincide in it, such as it was.

Women ArtisticaiIy and Socially.

In an art gallery recently two ladies
were overheard talking about the com.
ing artists festival. Both were going
and each was describing her costume,
which, she was glad to say, was at last
all ready for the occasion. The elder,
it seemed, was one of the matrons, for
she was going to wear one of the state
ly Venetian costumes which are as
signed to these guardian angels of the
dignity of the affair; the younger was
an artist, and was to appear in Greek
gown, in which, there is no doubt, she
will look charming. Il suppose" said
the matron smiling, "that it is an
offense against the true, the artistic
spirit of the festival to say so, but
really l do think it too bad that we are
to be deprived of the satisfaction of be-
ing gazed upon by galleryfuls of adj
miring spectators. feel as if we are
most of us going to feel so self-con-
scious, and unless we ourselves forget
the artistic and lapse into the social
spirit, are going to be absorbed in
looking and acting our characters that
and enjoy the Others"
80, never fear,n said the young
artist, 1--WE shall, as you say, lapse
or. rather, relapse. But, really, 1 do
feel little sorry, too, that there are
no galleries in the Art Museum. 1t was
sad oversight on the part of the
architect But then he never could
have known that it was one day to be
put to the use of showing off people as
well as of showing off pictures.''-Bos-
