nnn rInntion IIlllna na.

A remarkable instance of the hold su.
perstition has upon the mind OF even the
educated and religious was recently ex.
hibited in the case of Mrs. Rsbseca
Byrnes, OF Helena, Ark, a lady noted
for her intellectual att Ammonia and
pious life. One morning, arising in what
seemed her usual health and spirits. she
summoned her children to her. One sou
was residing in Topeka, Kas, one IN
New Orleans, two daughters were mar.
risd ana living In Sedalia, Mo-, but obe-
dent to their mothers call they came at
once, though ignorant of the reason OF
the summons.
When all were about her the lady in
formed them that she had a dream In
which her husband, who has been dead
for nearly fifteen years, had warned her
that she had only ten days more of life.
She had sent for her children to bid
them goodby, which she proceeded 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 per
feet confidence in dream, but all to no
purpose, for she persisted in asserting
that she would depart from earth on
such a day and exactly alta certain hour.
Her pastor demonstrated with her and
even brought the severest censure
to bear on her superstitious credulity
and at last Mrs. Byrnes ceased to sneak
Of the matter, 80 that her family had be.
gun to think she had conquered her
fancy. She continued in excellent health
and pursued her usual daily life, but
just before the hour she had predicted
would be that OF her death she sought
her children and bade them good by, then
seating herself quietly In an armchair
expired just IS the hour was struck.
The physicians declare that her death
was due solely TO her imagination -Phil-

There are methods OF preserving the
hands measurably against the destruc-
tive effect Of dlshwashing, scrubblng and
the like. They should be kept as much
out of the water as possible, and when
the work Is done they should be washed
clean and rubbed dry. Borax water is
good for washing the hands Coarsely-
ground oatmeal is fair substitute for
soap In washing the hands. White nm.
scented soaps are the bost, as the highly
scented soaps are usually made Of rancid
fats.
A solution of oxalic acid will remove
fruit stains frcm tn hands, but it must
not touch an shraded surface. After
washing and drying tho hands thor
oughly, glycerine and spirits of cam
phor in equal parts mixed together is
good to rub over them. Cocoanut oil is
pleasant application. Wearing kid
gloves two sizes too large Ia helpful In
preserving the hands. One should have
IN old pair Of gloves to take up ashes
in, to sweep In and to wear IN all dirty
work that permits the wearing Of gloves.
If gloves are dipped in not very hot
hnseed oil they become waterproof, and
may be worn while washing dishes. A
pair Of canton flannel mittens is pleasant
to wear when hanging out the clothes on
q cold morning Frequent vigorous rub
bling Of the hands will promote oiroula-
tion and keep the skin In good condition.
To take the best care Of the nails, soak
the ends Of the fingers In hot water for
some time, until the skin Is softened,
then dry, and with pair OF nail scissors
thin off all the dead skin about the nails
and trim the nails neatly.

On Farmer Harvey M Van siotioa
place. an Silver Lake township. near
Scranton, Pa, two-storg stone milk
house has boen otandlng for more than
fifty years. When the masons built lt
they Knocked the mouth from an old
earthen Jug and cemenied the jug into
the solid wall toward the peuk, leaving
the open end on tho outside OF the well.
The kind-hearted worl,men put the iug
there for purpose, and every summer
since then wrens have nested In 10.
This season pair OF bluebirls got
there few hours before the wrons did,
took possession Of the Jug without any
ceremony, and begbn TO carry bits OF
straw and dried grass into it at intervals
OF fifteen or twenty minutes. Toward
noon pair OF wrans fitted into the yard
and sailed around the milk house two or
three times Then they made dive for
the opening in the old Jug, darted into
1t, and soon flew out, squalllng spite
fully. The reason why they did this was
because they had found one Of the blue
birds fixing things up inside.
The surprised blueblrd sailed out IN
the wren's wake, and then feathered
warfare was begun that lasted for two
hours. Finding a stranger IN a home
that had been occupied by wrens for half
a century, made the little wrens mad all
over. They pitched into the bluebird
and tried to drive II away, giving vent to
angry pipes and squalls as they fought.
For time the bluebird gave battle TO
the little birds, but the two were more
than q match for it, and it retired to a
tree. While 1t was perched there, the
wrens few into the Jug and started to
drag out the straw and stuff the buebirds
had carried in.
The wrens were busy cleaning out the
Jug when the bluebird ou the tree was
joined by its mate All at once they
took bee line for the jug. They darted
into 1t like flash, and in a second the
wrens came out as though they had been
fired. They hadn't been cowed down by
the larger birds by long sight, for they
immediately turned, darted into the Jug,
and drove the bluebirds out Then the
four feathered combatants had 1t hack
and forth among the trees for half an
hour, neither party entering the jug
while the battle lasted.
Finally they stopped fighting, and each
side began TO carry things into the Jug.
The wrens made two trips while the
bluebirds were making one, and late in
the afternoon the wrens had filed the
hole so full of twigs that the blueblrds
couldn't get in. There was room for the
wrens to go in and out, and they held the
fort against their bigger foes, who made
several attempts to tear the barrier of
twigs away, but without success. Toward
sundown the bluebirds sailed away and
never came back, and the wrens have had
possession Of the old Jug ever since.

chinese Grat,,ude

A late train from New York brought
into the Broad street station, Wednes.
day, DR.. George e. Brewer, vino came
on to attend the Radnor hunt breakfast
Some years ago when DR.. Brewer was
a hospital surgeon in Boston, he was
called to attend a Ohinaman who had
been crushed almost TO Jelly by the
wheels OF huge truck. The poor fellow
was ia great agony, and when taken to
the hospital he was given up as fatally
injured. But while life remained, OF
course, the surgeon worked and watched.
For days the Chinaman hung over the
chasm OF death, but at last be COM
menced to gain, and little by little re-
covered.
After several weeks he was taken from
the hospital by friends, and DIR. Brewer
never expected to see or hear of him
again. But SIX months later he received
queer parcel, which was handed to him
by the Chinaman and thre friends, who
left it In the doctors hands. after going
through a lot of speeehmaking and
katowing. The young physician opened
the arcel, and within the wrappinRs
was found banner of queer cardinal
fabric, One side was covered with
Chinese words and on the other was DR..
Brewer name. The recipient OF this
strange gift could not find any one In
Boston 10 translate the queer charac-
ters and finally his father, then men,
ber Of Congress, took the banner to the
Chinese Legation in Washington and
had translation rendered. This related
the story Of the Chinaman's injuries and
told OF DR.. Brewers wonderful skill in
treating the patient, saving his life.
The closing sentence stated that after
long consultation the Chinaman aud his
friends had decided that young DR..
Brewers soul was that formerly pos
sessed by a famous doctor o. the Celes-

The sudden and awful death OF En-
gineer McFadden recalls very wildly a
story that Is old about the brave and
nervy man who met his fate while at his
post of duty. Engineer McFadden, as is
we'll known, was connected with the old
Oregon and California Railroad Com
pany for many years. During that time
(extending over o peri d Of twenty-five
years) he had been IN good many acci-
dents and bad run many narrow
escapes. All viii viYidly remember the
fearful accident at Lebanon Junct ion
last Summer a year ago, In which
Engineer John C"Big Jack Miller
and Fireman Quint Guthrie wore
killed The tragc fate Of Big
Jack seemed to have made n very
strong and lasting impression on the
mind OF Engineer MoFadden, and had
been regarded by him somewhat N he
light OF presentiment. Very soon q ter
Miller's death an old friend of McFadden
met the latter, and, , turally, the cir
eumat8nces OF the acc lent and the fate
OF Miller We're discussed. Well, John, "
said the old gentleman, the fute OF
poor Jack ought to be taken as a warn
ing by ell you rallroaders. Take my ad-
vice and get out OF it while your skin is
whole. Better get out of such dangerous
business. McNaOuen smiled sadly and
said he knew it was full of danger and
added, IL catches nearly every fellow
with his bouts on who follows railroad
ing long enough"
Not long after Miller's death, Nc
FGdden met with an accident near
Turner Station. The train was coming
down tie track at lively rate, when
the locomotive suddenly ploughed into
band Of fr ghtencd sheep. The crushed
and mangled .carcasses kept piling up in
front Of the engine until they reached a
height Of several feet. McFadden put
o. brakes and reversed, but the loco
motive climbed up on top OF the bleeding
mass Of mutton and went over into the
ditch. MoFadden and the fireman had a
very narrow escape from death, and did
not come out OF it without serious in
iurica, McFadden was laid up for some
ii Sc but on recovering went back like a
brave fellow 0 his post of danger. The
dreadful accident OF Wednesday evening
tells the story Of his instant death. His
prediction, 1t catches all with their
boots on who follow it long enough, " hi d
