Directed BY a Dream.


this city, says q Kansas City letter, can
boast of one of the strangest and most
thrilling experiences during the last few
days which have ever fallen to the lot of
any man. What great mystery lies
behind his story, or at least his singular
adventure, will probably never be known.
a box filled with human bones, rotted
by its long confinement in the earth,
scarcely more than two feet long and not
more than one wide, is now in Cooper's
possession. On table 10 his room,
where any one would be allowed 10 see
it, is another box Of similar shape and
appearance. In this box lie several sill.
yer dollars which are rusted and stuck
together, several bits of golden jewelry
and two diamonds of small value. All
these things go to confirm Cooper's story
as to the remarkable manner in which
dream influenced and controlled his &C.
tions for several days.
During the first part of last week
Cooper was foreman Of a gang of carpen>
ters at work on the Coates House. One
morning he called the contractor to one
side and said:
IT can't work to-day, and would like
to be excused"
"Why, what's the matter, Tom ?" was
aaked.
Cooper informed him that for three
successive nights be had been troubled
with dream which never varied. The
figure of q woman with little child in
its arms would appear TO him and say:
$50 to Westport, thence three-fourths
ola mile West. There you will find q
farmhouse, and off to the right tall
tree. Dig and you will find an infants
bones, and that which will reward you"
At first Cooper said he thought nothing
of the dream, but its singular repetition
troubled him. The woman and child
appeared in the same manner three nights
and each time in the dream the woman
uttered the same words. So sad did they
sound that Cooper said be seemed to hear
them all day while at work, and he was so
troubled that he determined to cast the
burden off his mind by following out the
dream woman's directions. Last Saturday
morning he quit work and started out to
Westport So clearly had the dream
showed him the way that he recognized
the house at sight. he called and asked
for spade on the pretense that he wished
to dig herbs. He then went to tall tree
off to the right, and dug according to the
directions given In the dream. At q
depth of three and half feet he found
box filed with bones, but found nothing
else. He returned home, but that night
was again troubled with the dream. For
three nights the dream was repeated to
him and he again went to Westport.
Digging in the same place at depth OF
four feet he found another box similar to
that containing the bones. He opened it
and found $3.50 in silver stuck together,
two small diamonds, since valued at $50,
and some jewelry. Without digging
further he returned to the city, and now
has the relics on exhibition to prove the
truth of his strange vision.

Wheh Womea Should Marry.

Probably the best time for the Average
civilized woman to marry would be any
age between s4 and 26. 1t is not said
that no woman should marry earlier or
later than either of these ages; but
youth and health and vigor are ordinarily
at their highest perfection between those
two periods. Very early marriages are
seldom desirable for girls and that for
many reasons. The brain is immature,
the reason is feeble and the character
uniformed. The considers tions which

A Terrible Scene on Stone Mountain.

STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga, August 20
Never since 1878, when DR.. George
Goldsmith rescued little Miss Emma
Jones, of Augusta, from the north or
steep side of Stone mountain, has the
citizens of this usually quiet town been
so excited as they were last night. Two
gentlemen named Braswell and Chas.ain,
who live near LogansVille, were in town
yesterday evening, and started for their
home about sundown. In passing the
north side Of the mountain, they noticed
upon the side and nesr the top of the
mountain
WHITE OBJECT,
which seemed to be moving backward
and forward in small space. For some
time they watched the object, and finally
concluded it was child, that perhaps
had wandered around on the top of,the
mountain and had fallen over the preci.
pice and lodged in crevice. They lis
tened intently for some noise, and finally
heard it crying and hallowiug-
Oh, LoKDy! Oh, LoRDY!
Immediately they retraced their steps
back to town and gave the alarm. By
this time it was dark. In few minutes,
more than q hundred men with lanterns
and ropes were on their way to the
mountain. At the foot Of the mountain
the crowd parted, a number Of them
going on top, and the balance going
around the north side TO where the child
was seen with lanterns to signal those
who had gone up the mountain. In less
than thirty minutes
THE SUMMIT WAS REACHED.
While waiting for the party who had
gone around the mountain to reach the
north side, one end of three.qusrter
inch rope was tied strongly to the waist
of young John Hendricks; at the other
end were twenty or thirty stalwart young
men, Who began to slowly lower young
Hendricks over the mountain. Soon
THE ROPE GAVE OUT,
it not being long enough, and young
Hendricks was pulled back. Two or
three young men we're dispatched to
town for more rope. While waiting for
the rope, parties who were on the ground
below could be heard hallowing to the
child:
"Remain perfectly still, honey; we'll
soon rescue you"
"Don't move an inch; if you do, you
will be killed."
"Hold tight to the mountain"
In an hours time
ANOTHER COIL OF ROPE
had been brought up the mountain, and
young Hendricks was again lowered
down the mountains side. This time
they had rope authclent, and young lien
dricks soon reached the object. At once
those on the ground saw that young
Hendricks had reached the object and
signaled those on top to "heave to. In a
twinkling the chino, the dog-was
rescued, for it proved to be fox dog that

1.-THE pollen must be carried to some
other flower, who will carry it? There
are three principal agencies of this cross
pollination: ~ wind, ~ water, and (S)
animals. Pollen from pines, which has
two balloon.like sacs, is often carried
three hundred miles, and has been taken
six hundred, by the wind. The animals
that carry pollen are suails, insects,-as
flies, gnats, bees, butterflies, moths,-and
| birds, of which the humming-bird is
best known. To attract flies and gnats,
plants are of purp!ish or livid color, with
very unpleasant odors, as the uristolochia,
which has the color and smell ofdecayipg
meat. Bees are attracted by sweet odors,
pretty colors, and the honey or nectar in
the flower.
The sage has curious contrivance for
getting its pollen carried away. The
honey cells are at the base of the corolla,
and the stamen is hung loosely in the
way, fastened at its middle. As the bee
pushes in, he hits the end, ofthe stamen,
which swings up, bringing the anther
down to the back of the bee. So, when,
laden with this dust, he enters anothsr
sage blossom, he brushes off the pollen
on the o7erhanging stigma.
The laurel, lobelia, barberry and lady
slippers have equally curious arrange.
ments for making the bee serve them.
Butterflies fertilize those flowers which
have long tubes, or nectaries, for honey,
like the pelargonium and puccoon. In
the pelargonium, the stamens appear
first; and in getting at the honey in the
long nectary the butterfly is covered with
pollen. A few days afterward the sta
mems have withered and fallen down,
| and the stigma is ready to receive the
