Seen In a Dream.

In 1868, Lizzie NJ. Trask, of Wen
ma Me-, was dressmaking in Lewiston.
She came into possession of Il gold
twenty-five cent piece with hole in
il. This she showed as acuriosity to
her friends. At that time she had a
little niece yeras old, daughter of
Jonathan p. Trask, now the wife of
Leman Butler, trader in Mt. Vernon.
The little coin Lizzie once showed to
her niece Addie when she was q very
small girl, telling her that she would
give it to her when she was old
enough to take care of it. Lizzie
died twelve years ago. In her poss-
essions was a lady's wallet with sew
eral compartments. This wallet her
mother used until her death, seven
year ago.
Then James, brother OF Lizzie,
had it, and il has been in constant
use almost daily ever since, either by
him or his wife. The little gold coin
was never seen after Lizzie's death
or before for several years by her
friends, and it's whereabouts was
not known, and, in fact, its existence
had passed from memory. A few
DAYS ago Mrs. Butler made her par
ents visit, stopping with then sew
eral nights.
While there she dreamed that she
saw her Aunt Lizziefs wallet, and it
was faced with green, and in a GER
tain compartment she found the lit
tie gold coin which she saw so many
years ago. On telling her mother
her dream she was informed that
Lizzie did have u wallet which an
swered her description, and that her
Uncle James had it. The wallet Adj
die had never seen. She then visit
ed her uncle and told her dream 10
her aunt, who laughed at the idea of
anything being in it other than she
and her husband had placed there.

The messenger, startled, lay half
awake for moment, when in no un-
certain tones came the words, appar-
emily from within the head of the box
on which he slept.
"D--n you, let me out.

the box lay to the other end of the

cleared it in two jumps. Trembling
with fear, he shouted to his compan-
ion, but before he had chance to
tell his story that self-same voice ex-
claimed:

Neither of the men spoke for mo-
men, and then the one who had first
heard the voice said: "Jim, that
corpse wants to get out"
Jim thought fora moment AMI then
said, "Well, reckon it wouldn't be
right to keep him in there if he wants
to get out. +"
So the two cautiously made their

bated what to do, when the same
muffled voice was heard to remark:
"Polly wants a cracker"
Then the mystery was explained,

A MaRnetIc YOUNG Mar.

Louis, the 16-ye ir-old son OF Philip
Hamburger, is possessed of amyste-
rious power which is pulling scien-
title men, says Baltimore special
to the New York Sun. This power
enables him to make objects of con-
siderable weight adhere to his Singer
tips, contact only being necessary.
The young man. WHO'S quite small,
has been studying chemistry some
time at the Maryland College Of
Pharmacy, and has shown his pa
rents and friends some astonishing
teats and bits of magic. BY merely
pressing his full distended fingers
against heavy cane, he holds it
suspended in the air for long time.
lie is also able, by placing the balls
OF three fingers against the side of a
glass tube, to raise the weight of five
pounds attached thereto. He Gays
he has always remarked a peculiar
feeling when touching small objects
which are wet or greasy, and in order
to get the best results in his expert
ments he must have both the hands
and the objects dry and very clean.
For this purpose he always washed
his fingers in alcohol and ether and
wipes them and the objects dry.
In the presence of friends he gave
an exhibition of his powers. The
first experiment was to place q num-
, Der of pins around the palm of his
hands and on the tips of his fingers.
On holding the palms vertically the
pins are found to drop only after a
long time. He next showed his
ability to pick up from the table by
pressing his dry finger tips against il
any highly polished. smooth body
such as pencil or a pen. Much
more striking, however, was the
manner in which pen held perpen
dicularly, stuck to the ends OF his
fingers.
Both hands have the same remark
able power, though the right on,
does the better work. The tips o
the fingers, which are more than usu
ally fieshy, are capable of thu
greatest feats. He touched hi
fingers, against a glass tube three
| quarters of an inch in diameter, ant
they stuck with such force that, Of
he pulled them away from it on
after another, there was a click. TIL,
end ofthe tube thus raised was freight
ed with plaster of paris block, ant
on this were gradually piled leader
weights until five and one-halfpound
were reached. This he was able t,
raise with the opesi palms.
The young man loses control ofhi
secret force when the objects becom
damp by perspiration or otherwise
and can only show itsaction on yer,
smooth bodies. Prof. William Simol
of the Maryland College OF Ph4rmac
has developed whatever strength an,
remarkable powers the young ma
displays from the very smallest be
ginings. He has hopes OF making
him perform vet more wonderful
feats. At present he is engaged i
experimenting with him in scient
fic manner in order TO present th
