How Miss Amy Interpreted Love-Slck Mr..
Goslln's Dream.
IT had o dream last night which
ought to interest you, Miss Amy"
This remark was made by young Mr..
Goslin, who was paying his addresses,
or endeavoring to do 50. to the young
lady.
Miss Amy was not 80 anxious for this
paying as some of Mr. Goslin's creditors
were for the application OF that treat
ment to numerous accounts which bore
Mr.. Goslin's name as debtor.
She had given him hints which would
have convinced any young man OF
ordinary intelligence that his suit was
hopeless, but Goslin persevered with
q cheerful idiocy which would have
called forth sympathy from craven
image.
what was the dream?" asked the
girl.
II dreamed we were married to each
other" replied Goslin, enthusiastically,
and then he asked, what do you think
OF that?"
20, that's all right"
"You dear creature" Goslin ex-
claimed. ecstat!cally; you make me so
happy"
He attempted to embrace her, but she
eluded him, and replied:
II didn't intend to-"
"Why-why," stammered Goslin,

maiden; "you know dreams always 20

THE COMING METAL.
Is Aluminium to Supplant Steel In the Inn
mediate Future.

Is Aluminium to Supplant Steel In the Inn
mediate Future.
A newly built steel steamer from
Italy is exciting some curiousity in this
harbor, principally because 1t is On
Italian built vessel, and is considered
the forerunner OF feet Of vessels of the
same metal to take the place OF the
modern boats in carrying trade. In all
probability, however, the day OF steel is
almost over.
aluminium will soon take its place. A
metal as little liable to tarnish in air or
water, as little or less affected by acids
than gold, twice as strong as steel and
one-third the weight, rs malleable and
as ductile as gold, aluminium offers ad-
vantages to the shipbuilders as 1t does
to the bridgebuilders, to the machinist
and to all engaged in mechanical arts in
which any metal is employed, that can
not be ignored; and as we have had
occasion to say previously the only
thing that stands in the way OF its
substitution for steel and iron, and per-
haps for copper, tin, lead and every
other metal except zinc, which has uses
peculiar to itself, is the cost Of produc-
tion from the ore. 49,
Aluminium is the most abundant OF all
metals contained in the earth's crust
being constituent Of all clays, and a
slight improvement in the method OF
reducing it will bring its cost down to
such o point that iron and steel at
present prices would be dear by COM
parison, because OF tho better use that
can be made OF this lightAr and yet
stronger metal.
Its cost now is sixty cents pound.
When it falls To ten it will be much
cheaper than steel at five cents. 1t is
being manufactured in this country and
in England and earnest scientific minds
are Occupied from day to day in expert
mental processes of its reduction from
the ore with the Wow OF producing 1t
in such abundance as will enable the
substitution Of it in all mechanical arts
for steel
Any day the process by which this can
be accomplished may be discovered and
perfected and the price drop to few
few cents a pound Then vessels Of war
and peace will be constructed OF it that
will be stronger than steel ships and
lighter than those Of wood. The navi-
gable waters Of the globe will DO in
creased very largely-some say two
thirds-by the lighter draught Of the
vessels, and the speed produced by en-
gines of the same horse power as are

The PRAIRIE CHICKEN.

AQueor. Shy bird. Yet II Loves to Bs Near
the TONES Of Men.
The pinnated grouse or, as It Is COM
monty called, the prairie chicken, is o
queer bird. Shy, and often difficult to
approach, 1t still loves to DO In the Vi
cinity Of human habitationa It has
followed the farmer from the Western
Reserve to the prairies Of Illinois. across
the Mississippi and 1t is now beginning
to be abundant In the western counties
Of Kansas and Nebraska and in Eastern
Colorado.
Before 1t has fed the prairie sharp
tailed grouse that formerly was found
in the uplands of Iowa, Nebraska and
Dakota. Following it Is the quail or
Bob White-the bird Of the underbrush
and timber, as the prairie chicken is OF
cornfiold and stubble. 1t has come with
the homesteamer and with the meadow
lark and welcomes the robins, blue
birds and warblers that arrive only
when orchards are set out and timber
claims arc well under way.
In some respects the game bird Of the
plains changes his habits with his hab-
itat Especially Is this noticeable dur
ing the breeding season. The prairie
chicken in Illinois will lay its eggs and
rear its young in the same field whore 1t
will DO hunted later in the season. Butin
the Platte valley in Nebraska 1t makes
its nests on the islands. These islands
are low, f-inged with brush and covered
with luxuriant grasses that are not cut
until late in the autumn. Here there is
absolutely no danger Of molestation
from man, and prairie fires are compar-
atively unknown. Late fires cook prob
ably one-third of the eggs that are laid
on the uplands.
The blooming" by the river has
stopped. The male birds are already on
the uplands Amid the carex and wild
grass, under plum brush and beside the
osiers the young birds are getting fat
Their mothers teach them to exercise
their wings, and their eyes are sufii-
ciently bright to detect o grasshopper
or o butterfly many yards away. But
this kind of life can not last forever. 1t
is early in July. The click Of the mower
floats down from the rolling prairies
above the river. Oats are ripening and
the wheat will soon be ready for the
reaper. The river grass is drying. 1t
is time for flight 1t seems as though
this migration is preconcerted. Early
in July the females bring their broods
together, and for couple Of days there
is an incessant fight to the north and
south. Then the islands are deserted
until the next spring.
The hunting season should not begin
before the middle OF August, and farm
ers as rule comply with the regula-
tions Of the game law. But every town
has few self-styled sportsmen, who
commence to destroy chickens and quail
before the young birds have their power
of fight fully developed. This makes
harder work and longer trips for those
who shoot only in the open season.
Still such q state Of affairs can not be
helped until the West makes provisions
for the rigid enforcement Of the game
laws already enacted, but which are

we discover remarkable elements of speed
and beauty in the breeding of Forrest
Bassett, and we shall be greatly dsap-
pointed if he does not beget great speed
and splendid form. He was purchased
by II. 5. Woodruff, at GAINESVILLE, Wis,
to take the place made vacant by the
death of Joe Bassett, and stands at $50

GEN. GRANT, SIRE OF EUREKA.

The splendid performances of the
brown gelding Eureka, in the great trot-
ting circuit, has caused good deal of in
terest to centre around his sire, and many
erroneous statements have been publish
ed concerning him. He was got by Gen.
Grant, black horse that was bred and
owned during his entire life by John S.
Mcfarland, now of Chicago. Gen. Grant
was foaled July IS, 1861, at Concord,
n. H.; was got by Draco, son of young
Morrill,, dam by Thurston's Romeo, son
of Vermont Black Hawk. Mr.. McFar-
land emigrated to Chicago in 1866, bring
ing Gen. Grant with him. From here
Mr.. Mcfarland sent the horse to Topeka,
Kan, in care of Geo. Kellum, and he re-
NAMED there two seasons. He was talk
en- thence to Sioux City, Iowa, where he
remained two seasons, when he was
brought back to Chicago, and was used
by Mr.. Mcfarland as road horse. In
1877 or 1873 he was taken to Blooming
ton, H., where he died, July Is, 1879
He was good, square-gaited trotter-
could go about 2 80 gait-and did but
little service in the stud which, Judging
| by the performance and promise of hi,
son Eureka, may be regarded as grea
misfortune to the breeding world.
