ODe CbiId,s Dream.

Harriet Martinesn relates that, of her
many childish fancies, perhaps none
was so terrible as a dream she had at
four years old. Il dreamed" she says,
'.that we children were taking walk
with our nursemaid. Out Of the public
house there calne,a stag with prodigious
antlers. Passing the pump, it crossed
the road to us and made polite bow
with its head on one side, and with a
scrape of one foot; after which it pointed
with its foot to the public house, and
spoke to me, inviting me in. The maid
declined, and turned to go home. Then
came the terrible part.
by the time we were atpur own dool
it was dusk, and we went up the steps
in the dark; but in the kitchen it wa'
bright sunshine. Ny mother was stand
ing at the dresser, breaking sugar, anc
she lifted me up and set me in the sun
and gave me bit of sugar. Such wa
the dream which froze me with horror

minded maturity to that vividly remem
bered childish dream, and utterly un

A rrinmnh of Civilization.

There is a large farmer near me- a
clever and successful man in his way
who married las men sometimes do) a
foolish wife. His daughters are placed
at an expensive school in Brighton ana
are carefully debarred by their mother
from all acquaintance, not only with
far1nwork and housework, but with such
elementary feminine knowledge as the
simplest servantmaid can enjoy. They
NAV not make or mend their own clothes
they may not use the needle.

mother said lately to lady; Il am
happy to say, ma'am, that my daughters

parties in evening dress. So greatly has

The Horses Knew the Tune.

A relation of mine, who has spent.
many wears in India, remembers well
now. when living in Lucknow and en-
loving the evening drive with o'ner
English residents in the Indian city tne
carriage horses would toss their heaas
and paw the ground impatiently when
NE frst notes Of "God Save the Queen
were played by the military band every
evening It was the last tune played
the signal for dispersion.
A skeptic-or, perhaps, more than one
having insisted that the horses only
knew the tune because it was always
nlaved last. and they were able to calcu,
Iate time, the experiment was tried Of
nlaving "God Save the Queen" in the
middle, instead of at the end OF th'
evening. Instantly there was the saIn'
excitement in the horses standing roun'
"the course" The same impatient toss
inc of the head and prancing Of the feet
the same general stampede and eager
ness to start homeward.
No one could any longer doubt tina
tbey knew and recognized the air; Il
fact. that they could tell one tune iron
another.-LondOn Spectator.

over the end Of an empty barrel stout

Disoouraring the Uso of TobaccO,


Professor Smith, formerly of Bowdoin
college, did not like to have the students
chew tobacco during recitations and
took effectual means to break up the
practice. A boy who was called upon
to recite one day, not expecting to be
''pulled, as the saying goes, on the next
day in succession. would 60 into the
class and chew tobacco during the hour.
Whenever "Cosine" noted this he was
morally certain to ask that student
few questions, and by keeping him NJ
fifteen minutes OF so would manage to
put him in a position where he would
either have to swallow a copious amount
of tobacco or else choke. Such vigorous
treatment had a beneficial effect-Lew-

10 ,Jade Inv Natural Gas.

An inventor in Buffalo has devised a
process for making ice by utilizing the
intense cold created by the expansion OF
natural gas when liberated from the
high pressure at which it issues from
the wells. In the experimental plant
the gas is used at its initial pressure OF
from 15O to 200 pounds to drive small
engine. After use in the engine the gas
exhausts into closed box, and the ex'
pansion generates sufficient cold to form
slabs of ice three inches thick to the
amount Of three-quarters of a ton in a
dav. It is claimed that the principle
can be applied economically on a large
scale.-New York Telegram.
