An Empcror's Dream.

During the time that Frederick
William II was at war with France,
and while his army was III u bad con-
dition, he dreamed one night that
three mice came into his room, of
which one was lean, another fat and
the third blind. The next morning
the king related this dream to his gen
erals and expressed the wish that some
one would interpret for him.
One of the generals replied that
there was soldier in his regiment
who was accustomed to interpret
dreams. The king allowed the soldier
to come and then told him his dream.
The soldier appeared very much
frightened. and begged to be excused
from Interpreting this dream as he
was afraid to offend his majesty.
Tie king, however, urged him, and
really wished to know the meaning of
this dream. The soldier then explain
ed it thus The lean mouse signifies
the Prussian army, consumed with
hunger; the fat mouse signifies the
army contractors. who enrich and fat
ten themselves with the king'smoney,
but the blind mouse signifies yourself,
who sees neither of the two. :"
And whoever knows the history OF
thai campaign is aware that the Prus-
sian Joseph interpreted correctly

slave Colony of Sierra Leone.

A number of slaves, who had claim.
ed their freedom in England, were
begging and starving about the streets
of London, and, after consultation
With some of the men themselves,
Sharp determined to send number of
them as settlers to the coast of Africa.
In 1885 about 400 negroes were thus
sent out to Sierra Leone, with about
sixty Europeans, chiefly women. a
grant of land was obtained from a
neighboring chief, but from its very
infancy the little colony was beset
with numerous difficulties. Disease
broke out on board the ship before the
settlers had even landed and worse
still, most of the Europeans were in
duced by the offer of high wages to
take service with the slave dealers
Things were going from bad to
worse, when Sharp sent out, princi-
pally at his own expense, another ship
with supplies for the colonists, and he
subsequently succeeded in forming a
joint stock company for the purpose of
trading with Sierra Leone. 1t is in the
course of these transactions that we
first find him corresponding with
William Wilberforce, who was after
ward the champion of the slaves in
the house OF commons. After some
difficulties and delays government
charter was obtained for the "St
Georges Bay company" as it was
called, and IN spite OF molestations
from slave dealers and native chiefs,
and most wanton raid in 1894 from
a French fleet, the colony founded by
Granville Sharp has survived, and
flourishes at the present day.-Mac-

Cost Of Living in Hong Kong.

In the last ten years the cost of liv-
ing in Hong Kong has increased 90
per cent. for Europeans and 10 per
Cent for Chinese, clothing being the
only necessary which is cheaper now.
Rent has increased from 100 to $50
per cent. for Europeans and 100 per
cent. for Chinese houses, servants
wages have increased 10 to Is per
cent, imported articles have risen in
proportion to the fall in exchange, the
cost Of medical attendance has also
doubled, while the decreasing purchas-
ing power of the dollar is severely felt
by those who have families to maintain
or educate at home.-London Times.

Qualifications of a Journalist.

The American journalist must be
spicy, lively and bright. He must
know how not merely to report, but
to relate in a racy, catching style an
accident, trial, conflagration, and
be able to make up al article of one or
two columns upon tho most insigniti-
cant incident. He must be interest
ing, readable His eyes and ears-must
always open, every one of his five
senses on the alert, for he must keep
ahead in this wild race for news. He
must be a good conversationalist on
most subjects, so as to bring back from
his interviews with different people =
good store of materials. He must be
a man of courage, to brave rcbuifs.
lie must be a philosopher, to pocket
abuse. Ho must be man of honor,
and I have always found him SO.
Whenever 1 have begged an American
reporter to kindly abstain from men
tioning this or that which might have
been said in conversation with him |
have invariably found that he kept
his word But if the matter is of pub
lie interest lie is, before all and above
all, the servant of the public. So
never challenge his spirit or enter
prise, or he will leave no stone I'M
turned until he has found your secret
and exhibited it 10 the public.-Max

Aloe for Rabies.

Dr. Pablo Patron mentions In tho
Peruvian journal La Cronica Medica
that rabid dog having bitten a boy in
Ayacucho, the boy notwithstanding
that the wounds had been well cauter-
led began in a few days time to show
unnnstakable signs of having hydro
phobia; and one day, when no one
was watching him, he ran away into
the fields and gathered some leaves OF
the American aloe tagavc Americana
and sucked them. After this, the
symptoms of the disease began to
abate and the boy recovered. The
American aloe is very common in
some parts of Peru and Central Amer
,ica, and the Mexicans are said to be
very fond of tea made from the
leaves. The plant is also used for
poultices, and forms tolerable substl-
tute for soap. DR.. Patron has been
induced TO publish this case through
having read in some Spanish medical
journal of a somewhat similar occur
renee.

Piercing the Ears.

After giving the name, the next i'm
portant ceremonialin an Indian child s
life is that of piercing the ears. This
ceremony is costly one, for it is the
custom to give away a pony for each
hole made in the child's ears. The
baby is removed from its cradle and
laid down in all its finery, and an old
man in gala dress performs the rite,
and pierces the ears with SHARP
knife. The earrings are then put III
and the ponies delivered up. 1t is moi
uncommon to see Indians with several
holes punched in their ears, and each
hole represents gift of Il pony. AT
the age of ten or twelve months the
first moccasins are put on, an occasion
of considerable Importance in the life
of a child. About this time the hair Is
cut for the first time. Among the
Omahas an old man takes little lock
Of hair from the top of the baby
head, which is put away among the
tribal archives. The father then cuts
the hair in the symbolic manner,
which is different with different gems.

The CYCLONE Snow ploy.

The cycloncis the largest and widest
snow plow yet built for any road,
making u path four feet ten inches in
width. Its capacity is something mar
velous. When the fan and organ are
running at the rate of 500 revolutions
per minute it will throw out 80, GOO
cubic feet of SNOW per minute. The
car is As feet long, the width of the
wheel being ten feet four inches.
Within the car are three engines Of
600 horse power each, or combined
force of $4,000 horse power. Two OF
these engines drive the fan which ex-
pels the snow. The third one connects
direct with the anger. which draws the
snow into the cylindrical case in
which the fans revolvc. The discharge
pipe is thirty-threc inches square, tile
spout being fourteen feet aboTc the
rails. This throws the SNOW almost
perpendicular for thirty feet before it
begins to curve in its fall, clearing the
telegraph poles with ease. 1t is pro
vided with the largest Baldwin loco
motive boiler for consolidated engines,
the whole length of the boiler being
% feet, having 1,500 feet OF heating
surface. 1t has twelve foot fire box
and 1s5 fues two inches by fourteen
feet.-Sacramento Union Record.

The Foolish Car.

When we hear the stories about the
cars peril from Nihilists, we cannot
help wondering why he does not take
the most natural means of lessening
his danger. The threats against his
life are not made in mere wantonness.
The men who would assassinate him
with us little conjunction rs they
would shoot mad dog, feel that they
have provocation and that they
would be doing service to the world
by sending tyrant out of it. The out
RACES in Siberia that seem to have as
sumed more horrible character lately
than for some years previous, have
stirred up the feeling against the gov
crnment to a greater height than ever.
1t is as the incarnation of the govern
ment that the car is eXecrated. Would
not the simplest way to restrain the
indignation of the people be to show
disposition to institute thorough re-
form in the methods of ruling2
The car has been told in plain
words, by the representatives of the
awful power that opposes him at every
turn, and that is all the more to be
feared because it works in secret, that
if he will make certain concessions his
life will be safe. He refuses absolute
IL to treat with the secret element that
will yet surely compass his death. And
ne wears armor under his clothes and
sets his police to work to keep assas-
sins away, even when he goes to
church to commune upon his knees
with his maker. In what sort OF spirit
he pursues his devotions can only be
surmised. To the ordinary observer,
it appears very much like impious
mockery for man, be he emperor or
beggar, TO enter a place of worship I'M
der such conditions.-Pittsburg Bulle-

j., ~, wv ~ snorn.n n Razor.

Use two hones-an Arkansas oil
stone and fine razor hone. The razor
is first applied to the Arkansas stone,
using fair pressure, and finishing with
lighter and lighter pressure strokes.
Remove razor from the coarse hone to
the fine razor hone, upon which oil is
also employed. With few light
strokes on the fine hone an enduring
hair splitting edge is formed. If the
razor be kept on the finishing hone
too long the fine edge will be lost If
this be the case, the process must be re-
peated; that is, the razor is again ap-
piled to the coarser hone and again fin
ished upon the fine hone, care being
taken to cease honing after the razor
has acquired the hair splitting edge.
Very little practice is required to as
certain when that point is reached, a
few hairs Of medium fineness supply
ing the required test. The coarse hone
employed should be OF sufficiently fine
texture to put smooth edge on peck
ct knife, but not fine enough to give
a smooth cutting edge to a razor

Old Hutoh's New Coat.

der his collar, but l heard good
story about his getting new coat.
His son one day upbraided him on his
coarse clothing and urged him to get
a new overcoat like his own, which,
though it cost 500, he assured his sire
was made to order for $40. The old
man yielded, and the son sent word to
the tailor if his father came in to
make the price $40 and he would pay
the balance himself. The 800 coat
was soon on the old mans back, and
thc,next day on the board of trade n
broker inquired if he was not getting
rather extravagant in his dress.
That's fine coat you have on; [
would be willing to pay $50 for one
just like it..
You may have it, quickly re-
sponded the king of the pit, thinking
only of the $35 profit, and, sulting the
action to the word, peeled his cover.
