Saved by a Dream.
From Halls Journal of Health


A man of the name Of Joe Williams had told
dream to his fellow-soldiers, some Of whom
related it to me months previous to the occur
renee which I relate. He dreamed that he
crossed river, marched over a mountain and
camped near church located in wood, near
which terrible battle ensued, and in a charge
just as he crossed q ravine he was shot in the
heart. On the ever memorable 7th of Deem
Der, 1864 (battle of Prairie Grove, northern
Arkansas), as we moved a double quick to take
our place in the line of battle, then already
hotly engaged, We passed a church, a small
frame building. ! was riding in the flank of
the command, opposite to Williams, as we came
in view of the house. THAT is the church

and never thought Of the matter until evening.
We had broken the enemy's lines and were
in full pursuit, when we came to a dry ravine
in the wood, and Williams said: "Just on the
other side of this ravine was shot in my dream,
and I'll stick my hat under my shirt" Suiting
the action to the word he doubled up his hat as
he ran along and crammed it into his bosom.
Scarcely had he adjusted it when mimic ball
knocked him out Of line. Jumping up quickly
he pulled out his hat, waved it over his head,
shouting: I'm all right" The ball raised a
black spot about the size Of mans hand lust
over the heart and dropped into his shoe.

Difference in Eggs.
From the Popular Science.


In form and general aspect the difference
among birds eggs is endless. Some are elon-
gated. some are spherical, some are dull on the
surface, some are polished. some are dark
others gray or white, others very bright. The
shape of eggs offers as much diversity as their
size and weight. They may be thrown, how
ever, into six different or typical forms-the
cylindrical, the oval, the spherical, the ovicu-
lar, oviconical, and the elliptic. The ovicular
form OF egg belongs to the Passere and CALI
nacB. the oyiod to the rapacious birds and the
Palmipedes, the conical to the wading birds
and some Palmipedes, the short to some game
and many stilted birds, and the spherical to

ing grounds. The materials of the manufact-
ure are found in the food consumed, and in the
sand, pebble-stones, brick-dust, bits of bones,
&C., which hens and other birds are contin-
ually picking from the earth. The instinct is
keen for these apparently nutritious and re-

The Prince Of Wales and Ireland.
Edmund Yates in New York Tribune

1oniunu 1Htes IN new Iork tribune.
There is a very general impression that Mr..
Howarths letter to the Times on the subject of
the vice-royalty was intended as feeler to see
in what direction opinion, as regards it, is 60
ing. The only member of the royal family who
could 60 to Ireland would be the Prince of
Wales. 1t is no secret that the Prince of Wales
has always had very strong feelings about
royal residence in Ireland, and many years ago
one of his most confidential and trusted advis-
ers, empowered by him, made known his opin-
ions to the queen, with a view to his going to
Ireland in some capacity as her representative,
If she felt she would be unable to do SO herself
The queen was much displeased, and expressed
her feelings strongly, as well as her desire
that the subject should never be mentioned
again, and the prince, very wisely, not wishing
to put himself into opposition to the crown let
the matter rest The difficulty in finding a
successor to Lord Londonderry has brought
the question up again, and believe that the
prince would gladly accept the position and
undertake its duties il the country wished it.
His position there would be different from that

prince to 20 to Ireland, residence of few
weeks during the Dublin season, from January
to March, would be all he would be asked to do,

English engagements.

To Benjamin Franklin's inventive genius
America owes its early progress in the matter of
stoves and ranges. He built up in the fire. place
an enclosure of iron plates. with draught and
a shutter. His motive a desire to save
something of the waste due to the generous
size of the fire-places of his day, as even then
in the northern colonies wood was becoming
scarce. At that time in some houses Ger
man stoves, some of them having
their doors outside the building, were
in use. The japanese, with all their ingenuity,
have never produced anything that an Ameri-
can would consider satisfactory in the way of a
cooking stove. The Japanese kitchen has a
little.range or furnace, made of plaster, with
three compartments for fire and circular ORR
flee above each, in which to place pot or ket-
tie. There is no chimney fue and no draught.
The faggots are placed in the open furnace
and lighted. The smoke issues from
the opening and fills the kitchen.

An old-fashioned toaster in the museum was
gift of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Stone. 1t is an iron
frame. with bracket for plate and movable
rod above it, having at its end horizontal
iron bar. furnished with several prongs upon
which the slices to be toasted are hooked.
This bar. by means of the movable rod can be
thrust forward toward the fire and then with
drawn when the slices are toasted and dipped
downward toward the plate on the bracket, so
that the slices can be detached and will fall
upon the plate. There are several old-fash-
Toned griddes, some round, with ornamental
designs. and some square. These were col
lected by Mr. Page in Virginia. Among the
old-fashioned kitchen utensils is bread-basket,
round bowl-like basket, closely woven, from
West Virginia. Such baskets were used
not for holding bread. but for raising the bread
ready for the baking. number of muffin
rings of earthenware are shown. The mullins
were made in the rings, which when filed were
placed on fiat sheet of iron and deposited on
the fire. There are spiders, too, used with
open freplaces. and which had short legs to
stand on. A vessel called dutch oven is some
thing like spider. with a cover, that has been

was baked in such ovens, which when filled and

going to return would you permit me to use
yours?"
The gentleman was going to return, and so
informed the individual, who thanked him
just as fervently as if he had received the
check. The next gentleman that came along
was similarly accosted, and he gave the fellow
his check.
Have you q seat coupon also?" asked the in

This was almost too much.

The coupons and cigarette were handed over

how he succeeded. He passed the door and

temptation OF informing the manager Of the
event.

The fellow was located and an usher carried

at the usher. Deliberately taking q white
rose from the bunch he placed it in the button

famous hotels on Broadway. For the last few
evenings a well-dressed young man has been

He has purchased the privilege of setting up
his shop, consisting of a chair and table, in the
lobby, and, with a coil of gold wire, pair of
pliers, pair of nippers, file and a knife as
his stock in trade, has deftly manufactured to
order gold breast-pins and bracelets, with any
desired name standing out in bold relief On
the table before him he displays scores of
the pins and bracelets worked into the more
common names, and a purchaser may either
select one Of them or have one made to order
The enterprising young man uses nothing but
knife in bending the wire into the desired
shape and works out the desired name with de-
cided dexterity and dispatch. When the name
is finished he bends the end of the wire SO as

An interesting object in the collection is an
old-tashioned foot-warmer. such as may still be
found about some old houses and which were
in general use half a century ago. They were
filled with charcoal and carried about to warm
ones feet. In those days there was no pro-
vision for heating country churches. and the
women carried their foot-stoves with them,
while the men shivered or contented them
selves with heavy overshoes.
There is a bed-warmer contributed to the

old. This is fiat, brass vessel with a cover
