Imagination Killed Her.

A remarkable instance of the hold
superstition has upon the mind of even
the educated and religious. says the
Memphis AUdlanche, was recently ex-
hibited in the case Of Mrs. Rebecca
Byrnes, of Helena, Arkansas, a lady
noted for her intellectual attainments
and pious life. One morning arising in
what seemed her usual health and spir-
its. she summoned her children to come
to her. One son was residing In To-
peka, Kan, one in New Orleans, two
daughters were married and living in
Sedalia. Mo-. but, obedient to their
mothers call, they came at once, though
ignorant of the reason of their sum
mons.
When oil were about her the lady
informed them that she had had dream,
in which her husband, who had been
dead for nearly fifteen years, had warn
ed her that she had only ten more days
of life. She sent for her children to
bid them goodbye, which she proceed
cd to do with much calmness, but with
the air of one who had not the slightest
doubt that she was already dying. Her
friends attempted to reason with her
and to point out the folly of placing
such perfect confidence in q dream, but
all to no purpose, for the lady persisted
in asserting that abe would depart from
earth on such day and exactly at "a
certain hour
Her pastor demonstrated with her aud
even brought the severest censure to
boar on her superstitious crodulity, and
at last Mrs. Byrnes ceased to speak Of
the matter, so that her family began to
think that she had conquered her fancy
She continued in excellent health and
pursued her usual daily life, but just be-
fore the hour she had predicted would
be that of her death she sought her
children and bade them goodbye. Then
seating herself quietly in an arm chair.
expired just as the hour was struck
The physicians declare that her death
was due solely to her Imagination

DO not suppose that a young woman
is necessarily in an unamiablc frame Of
mind when you meet her bearing a
muddy overshoe in hand The relief
that she experienced when she gave up
trying to keep the thing on more than
balanced her vexation at spolliDg glove
and boot; but oh things that women
think and don't say when at every step
a misft overshoe drops down at the heel
would make volume for the govern
ment to suppress.

A curious story is told Of the origin
of canned fruits. Years ago, when the
excavations were beginning at Pompeii,
some jars Of preserved figs were found
in the pantry of one Of tho buried houses.
On being opened the fruit was found to
be fresh and good, thus showing that
centuries ago the art of preserving fruit
was practiced and that we are indebted
to the ancents for many delicious dish.

"Some years ago, after Il severe attack bi
brain fever, my hair all came out. USED
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce n
growth of hair. then tried, successfully.
several articles recommended by druggists,
aud all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Nigor, which brought Il
growth of hair in q few weeks. | think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use 1t
for that purpose. I believe Ayers Hair

80 Souvenir Decorations for Rooms.
SAn effective way of treating the walls
in your own den is to make border of
photographs inst above the wainscoting.
Other souvenirs can be added, bit of
embroidery, fayors, piece Of gown,
manuscript music, anything that has an
association. The more irregular the
more picturesque the effect viii be. All
these souvenirs may be framed in laths
stained with some favored color, or they
may be arranged in panels. A certain
newspaper woman has taken all the pho
tographs she has received from the
various professionals she has interviewed
and made double panel of them for a
corner of a sanctu1n, aud the effect is
very pleasing. Another woman know
has made an entire frieze of photographs.
California redwood is the latest fad for q
dining room wainscoting, and in the.
space between it quite strongly resem-
bles mahogany. A narrow shelf for pot
terry finishes the wainscoting, and in the
space between it and the ceiling old
china or the effective blue and white
Nankin, which is so much favored just
now, is hung.-New York Cor. Chicago

An ErratIo CnnnIn.

very mysterious affair wac yester-
day morning reported at police head
quarters by Thomas W Wright, a col.
ored man who keeps small store at 1877
west Levee, near the Hannibal bridge
de said that at about o'clock the day
before man called at his store and
bought his boat for $ll.50, saying he
was going to take a trip down the river.
Inc man was dressed in gray suit and
wore light derby hat, while his shoes
proclaimed their newness with a squeak.
he was of middle age, about 8 feet 10
inches tall and wore light mustache.
Having concluded his bargain the man
went away, but returned at p. IN. with
wen dressed woman. The latter was
slenderly built, about q years of age
and D. feet inches high She wore a
green cashmere dress with polonaise
skirt, trimmed in front with dark green
veivet, and had on a small black straw
bonnet, trimmed with brown ribbon. Ar
expressman brought to Wrights house
Two trunks that belonged to the couple
one new, notified zinc trunk, the other
an old but large one. They staid at the
little house until 8 o'clock that night
when, placing their trunks in the skif
the man had bought, they babe adieu tc
the wondering colored people and roweC
with the current down the Missouri
river.
Before going they changed their cloth
Ing. the man DOMINIC lighter suit thar
he originally wore, and the woman
putting on light colored calico wrapper
The only clew given of their intention
was remark that they were goinJ
down the river until they found a plac,
they liked and then they were going t,
keep house. The woman said that tn
night before she had stopped at hote
opposite the union depot Diligent in
| quiry among the hotels in that neighbor
hood failed to awaken any remembrance
OF man or woman answering the de
scription of those who went down tn
Missouri in a skiif.
The police are in no way concerned
about the affair, as they believe the fugi
tives were an clipping couple, and n
steps have been taken for their appre
hension. Kansas City Times.
