DO Animals Dream?

Much research and investigation war
rants the assertion that man is not the
only animal subject to dreams. Horses
neigh and rear upon their hindfeet while
fast asleep; dogs bark and growl and in
many other ways exhibit all their charac-
teristic passions. 1t is highly probable
that at such times the remembrance of
the chase or of a combat is passing
through the dogs minds. Besides the
above signs of fleeting pain, anger and
excitement, these noble creatures often
manifest signs of kindness, playfulness
and of almost every other passion.
Rnminant animals, such as the sheep and
the COW, are believed to be less affected
with dreams than those of higher passions
which spend their waking hours in scenes
OF greater excitement. Philosophers and
investigators tell US that if we trace the
dream faculty still lower in the scale Of
animal life we shall probably find that
the same phenomenon exists; and. iudg-
ing from analogy, it is only reasonable
to K dreaming as one of the uni
versal laws-aImost as universal as sleep

Newell and Newell

A most amusing case of mistaken
Identity occurred in the Office Of Ho-
tel Ryan, of St. Paul, the other day,
and goes to destroy one more Of the
old ideas, that no two things are eX-
actly alike in this world. A gentle
man entered the hotel, proceeded to
the desk, was handed a pen by the gen.
tlemanly clerk, and registered w.
Newell, New York. The clerk called
the uniformed attache known by the
nom de hote or Front" and had
him show the guest to a room on the
parlor floor. About fifteen minutes
later his exact counterpart, dressed
exactly alike in every detail, even to
a rose in his buttonhole, walked up
to the desk, picked up a pen, and,
before the clerk could stop him, reg
istered the mystic name, w. Newell,
New York. He also asked for a
when he could 0 his speech,
said: "Why, what do you want, the
earth? l have just assigned you one
of our best rooms" The gentleman
drew himself up, and with a severe
look, replied: you are mistaken; l
have just arrived in town and never
saw you in my life before" At this
clerk nearly tainted. but fortu-
ndUely IOr dIi CUuCerIeu Tile nrSU gen
tleman came out of the elevator,
crossed over and addressed his broth
er. The CONSERVATION on the faces
of the clerk, bell boys and surround
ing guests al better be imagined
than described. The men we're none
other than Willard and William New
ell, the only twin actors in the world,
who are starring in Newell Bros. and
Dinkins' scenic production of ''The
Operator" They look so much alike
that it is said that their own rela-
tions don't know them apart. One of
them is engaged to be married, and
the only fear the young lady has is
that she will marry the wrong man
by mistake.

A Wonder in Eggs.

The number of eggs in the medium
sized eel at the beginning of the breeding
season is stated by eminent authorities on
fishes and their allied creatures to be
fully nine millions 5000, 600. a sum so
great as to almost paralyze the intellect
that tries to grapple With it. To the ma
ked eye a single one of these life-germs
is almost invisible. A strong microscope,
however, shows them firmly packed to-
gether standing On their tiny ends look
ing not unlike the covered cells of honey
comb.

AnecdOte of Keene.

Manager Smythe of the "HosS and
Hoss" Company, travelled with Keene
for several seasons, and this story
which he tells is characteristic of the
star: sit was Oh Broadway, New
York" said Smythe, land Keene,
Ariel Barney, and myself were stroll
ing uptown. Presently Keene stopped
and let us go on. and when we missed
him and looked back he was talking
to n of the raggedest and most
fredericksburg tramps / have ever
seen. Bill Hoey's makeup in "A
Parlor Match wasn't in it with that
fellow: and there was keene, shaking
his hand and as glad to meet him as
if the tramp had been a bosom friend.
For Heavens sake. Whom has he
got in tow now??' asked Barney. and
then Keene caught up with us and an
swered the question himself. That
man was a good actor once he said,
but drink got away with him. Too
bad, too bad, and he continued the
walk as un%concernedly as if he we're
in the habit Of publicly embracing
mendicants every day in the week"

should not be overlooked. They first
err in putting into her mouth lines
of vastly too heroic variety; the sec
ond by substituting a tall woman for
her. The little woman's province is
quite distinctly defined, and should
under no circumstances be uSurped by
her larger sisters of the stage.
1t is ia the representation of juven-
lie and masculine roles.
Nature has fitted actresses for the
proper ~delineation of such parts. A
woman may be young, still, unless
she is petite, she should at.
tempt either juvenile or masculine
characters.
Youth and vivacity are great allies,
but not of nearly SO much Importance
as l~ittlenesS. An artistic makeup
will hide many of times ravages, but
all the cosmetics in the world cannot
delude an audience into believing q
woman small when she is not.
When a woman assumes masculine
or Juvenile attire for the purpose OF
deception, vivacity, chic and a Ger,
tain diminutiveneSS are necessary,
else the authors idea is not carried
out. She must not be too mannish;
it is that alf-feminine. half-mascu'
line manner that makes the dissimu.
lation attractive, and which, in the
case Of a masculine role, is more
highly appreciated by an audience il

skirts. A woman loses much of hel

sensible to the fact that they some
times encroach upon the tall woman's
domain, and try to impersonate roles
suited only to her.
Their poachIng efforts, however, are
usually rewarded by the failure they
deserve.
The little woman's theatrical field,
it would seem, should be large enough
for her. She has the little injured
wife, the French maid, the gay youth
and the iuYenile-are these not suffi.
Gent characters for her: She alone
has made the greatest success OF
them, as witness Miss Marie Tempest
and Miss Della Fox. In ''The Vogle-
handler" 1.-The Fencing Master" and
in "Wang'' none could have kept up
the masculine delusion better than
they did; still, nobody ever forgot fol
a moment that either Of these clever
actresses were other than what they
are-charming little women masquer,
aiding as men.

The Elder O

One night Booth did not make his
appearance at the theater in time to
begin the performance. The man
ager went to hisroom at the hotel and
found it locked. To his calls and
knocks there was no response, but as
it was possible that he had fallen
asleep a clerk in the house climbed
upon the roof Of an adjoining piazza
and peered through a window. The
room was apparently empty. Then
the corridors and offices were visited
without success, and the manager
was about TO go away in disappoint-
ment, when the clerk. to make as
surance doubly sure. again scaled the
piazza, entered the room through the
window and looked under the bed.
There lay the missing tragedian, calm
and sober, quietly meeting the gaze
of the intruder. He at once con-
sented to 60 to the theater. The
clerk, u~nperceived, followed him and
heard him accost many persons and
ask to be directed to the theater. He
quickly dressed for his part and played
1t with prOdlglouS power.
Booth was often perfectly sober
when INDUCING in some of his wild
est freaks. His acquaintance diff
fered as to the Of them. 1t is
not to be doubted, however, that he
did sometimes indulge his appetite
for intoxicating liquors to an immod-
crate extent, bat not SO frequently as
Is popularity believed. One longtime
friend Of his asserts that it is doubt
full if he eEer was so completely over-
come by drink as to be incapable of
playing a familiar character. As soon
as he came before the footlights and
began to speak, his aspect changed,
and as the play progressed he re-
gained over all his faculties sovereign
sway and masterdom. He so aban-
doned himself TO the passion of the
part he acted that he produced such a
degree of mental excitement as would
neutralize the effects Of other stimu-
lants.

The New Lord Tennyson.

The new Lord Tennyson, named after the poets beloved friend, Arthur Hal lam, whose death inspired the beautiful poem, s'In Memoriam, is not unlike his father in personal appearance, but does not at all resemble him in mental power or literary tastes. Of late years the Hon. Hallam Tennyson hardly ever left bis fathers side. Lord Tennyson could not bear him out of his sight, especially since he lost his second son, Lionel, in so sad and sudden manner when the latter was crossing the Red sea on his way home from India.
 In all his tastes Hallam Gord) Tenny- son is thorough English gentleman of the old fashioned conservative sort. De- voted though he is to his fathers works even when child he could recite long passages of ''In Memoriam"-he has no liking for any other poetry. He has 8 good business head, and made all the ar engagements with MT. Augustin Daly anent the production of the late Lord Tennyson's last play, "The Foresters."
 It is announced that Hallam Gord) Tennyson is going to undertake to write the life of his illustrious father. Those who know the Tennysons intimately de- clare that worse choice might easily have been made.-New York Press.

Wires Along a Trolley Limo.


 A great many people wonder why there are so many overhead wires along an electric road, and which of them are alive or dangerous. Ninety-nine per- sons out of hundred know nothing whatever about it. You have noticed that alongside the pavement on both sides of the street is strung large, we'll insulated wire, almost large enough to be cable. That is the feeder. In other words, that wire carries the current from the power house and at certain in- tervals contributes it to the trolley wire. It is well nigh impossible for an acci- dent to happen to the feeder, but even then there would have to be 8 direct ground connection before much damage could be done. If the feeder should break and fall to the ground it would emit blaze which would prove warn ing to all passersby.
 On either side of the trolley wire are two wires which seem to be useless. They are dead, and are only intended to shield the trolley. Suppose these wires were not there and telephone wire should fall across the trolley? Instantly the voltage which transmits the cars would be flashed into every telephone which had connection, and the result would be a very severe shock. As it is, falling wires of any kind are caught by the side wires, and hence never reach the trolley wire. There's your primer ,ssaA &setssc3tx ae tonas otasap.

A Bug Fad.

Richfield Springs has gone bug mad. This statement has an invidious sound, 1 am aware, but 1t is the unvarnished truth none the less. There may be pal hation in the fact that the insects are of a high order of creeping things. They are not loathsome. On the contrary these bugs over which Richfield has lost its wits temporarily are harmless, unob- trusive and in some respects beautiful members of their kind. They are of the genus Elator noctilucus, described by naturalists as ia winged, luminous in- sect which emits brilliant light from yellow spot on each side of the thorax and from other parts of the body"
 These particular specimens were brought to Richfeld by the Cuban grandees at the Burlington, and by them were introduced to the throng on the verandas one evening of the past week. The Cubans had thirty or forty of the curious, beetlelike insects, more than half of which they gave away to ladies among their acquaintances. Fastened to the dress in a piece of lace the our rullas, as they are called by the natives, look in the dark like cluster of emer- aids of wonderful brilliancy, and as every lady who could get one has worn 1t with her evening toilet the effect has created . decidedly novel ssnsataon.- 11nhnn1d nwfaen fzN<kr

Diamonds Discovered in Georgia.

MT. E. T. Whatley, assistant state ge- ologist, was in Gainesville yesterday, and had the two diamonds which he had recently discovered on the farm of MT. James w. Marchbanks.
 MT. Whatley made the second discov- cry in person after spending three more days of research on the mine. The last one discovered is much larger and more valuable than the first.
 The second discovery verifies the fact that Hall county is not only rich in min erals, but evidently has diamonds inn bedded in her soil, and that it takes nothing but labor to bring them out from their hiding places.

The Last of the Men Blown Out to Sea
 Reach Home.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Charles Crump and Flavio Carrali of scow No. of the Street Cleaning Department, which with three others and the tug Edwin Webster was blown out to sea from off Rockaway in northwest hurricane Jan. 26, are safe
 The following special bulletin was posted on the Maritime Exchange yester- day afternoon:
 ''The missing men of scow No. were landed st Philadelphia by British steamer Ethelburga, from Mediterranean"
 Thus of the eighteen men who were ex- posed to the wild fury of the hurricane and the bitter cold not one was lost.
 Three of the scows with six men aboard were saved by the tug Edgar Luckenback far out at sea, and the ten men aboard the tug Edwin Webster were picked up in the nick of time by the schooner Everett Webster.
 Captain Crump and Mate Carrali, of No. ,, arrived in this city from Philadel- phia last night.
