The witness testified that there had
been a change in the price of coal be-
tween September and January. Then
Senator Donnelly handed him the
monthly lists and asked him to point out
the changes. Then the witness quail
fed that he might be mistaken and that
there had been no fluctuation.

Mr. Pratt had new excuse for the
existence of the old anthracite associa-

selling coal. Later he testified that he
had made practice of violating the
rules OF the association by selling to

one Gibbs, of Minneapolis, for whom
witness had paid the SIS.

Trees That Grow In Sand.

In France 100, ,000 acres of dunes have been reclaimed by planting. In that country the maritime pine has been planted with great success. It does not, however, thrive close to the sea. The ailantus, tree common enough in ouI land, and certainly sufficiently tenacious of fife ill our streets and fields, is a sand loving tree. have seen an abandoned cellar choked with healthy ailantus trees, and have known them to spring up from the root after being cut down and rubbed with salt. It is probable, then, that if it will grow on the beach it will hold its own against the ocean or any other enemy.-Agnes l.. Carter in Popular Science Monthly.

MURDER AT CT, HARRINGTON

For the past two months an old Frenchman has lived in lonely spot on the outskirts of the town of Great Burlington, living in dilapidated hut in the woods and supporting himself by chopping wood and burning charcoal. He had little intercourse with any body but was perfectly inoffensive. His name was unknown. Lately it began to be remarked that the Frenchmsn had not been seen for two weeks or more, and one day this week somebody made au investigation and found the hut of the Frenchman nearly burned up and discovered his partly charred body in the ruins. There were wounds on the body from which the entrails were pro- truding, and the indications were that the man had been dead about two weeks. It was evident that the wounds were not self inflicted. No clue, so far, has been found to the discovery of the perpetrator of this foul deed.

Super intendent Hopson has the sympathy of many friends in his deep affliction. Our friend, the Colder inhabitant" mentioned in last weeks NEWS, has paid us visit.

 The depot at Cherry Brook is a thing of the past. The lordly pile now lies piled up to one side of the P. & R. track, total wreck. This state of things is due to the fact that last Thurs day night an east-bound freight train ran off the track at Cherry Brook station and collided with the depot One car was crushed, the end of another was knocked off, the tender of the engine was injured, a flat car was broken in two and brakeman had his lantern knocked out of his hand Nobody was hurt. This idea of having the trains run into the depots is an entirely new one and is bold in it's originality; we can only say "what nextp" A later re- port is that the depot has been set up again.

DREAM FACES.

nadovy Counten ances That Pass Before
 People Even When Wide Awake. q 1t may be serviceable to remark that visions sometimes present themselves to us in the dark when we are awake, per fectly sane, unaware of any sort of physical disturbance and without any effort of the imagination. They are dream stuff, so to speak, and the pre- cursors of the dreams that fill our minds when quite asleep. In this way lady used to see showers of red roses, which turned into a flight of golden speckles or spangles; and not only were the roses presented to her vision as distinctly as real flowers in broad daylight might be, but she could smell their perfume.
 There is nothing like that in my ex- perience, except that at infrequent times of fatigue share the sensations of those who are said to have discovered rose scent flowing from and about them. An evanescent but very distinct violet scent fushes from my hands, or so I fancy. But NM. Maury and Galton relate stories of faces seen in the dark In like manner-faces seemingly stand ing of upon the air and coming and
 
 their own. M. Maury's experience seems to have differed from mine in this particular. In his case these phan- toms nearly always represented persons known to him.
 In mine it has never been so on a sin gle occasion, and thes difference is noticeable one. As look st these faces, asking myself who was like that or that, find no answer except in fancied re- semblance to some historical or myth ological parsonage. They strike the view as entirely strange and surpris- ingly "original." Possibly Blake's wis ions were some such faces as these, pre- sented to his eyes in broad daylight. am inclined to think so, because his wonderful, dreadful drawing, "The Ghost of a Flea" is precisely such a transcript as I could have made by the score had possessed his pictorial skill.
 Under my own eyelids l have seen many face of the same awful family; some even more dreadful still, being all astir with animation. But the greater number of them are not of the too terri ble kind After the fact that nothing foreknown or familiar ever appears among them, the next most remarkable thing about these visions is that they often look like the feeting embodiment of some passion or mood of the mind; usually not the bettermost. Some faces expressive of a great nobility and seren- fly appear, but I have never seen among them the mask of pity, of love or any soft emotion. Grief the most despairing, scorn, cunning, pride, hate, inquiry, en- vious or triumphant mockery-no hu- man face that ever was seen, I feel sure, displayed these emotions with . comparable fullness and intensity.
 It is not the characteristic of all, but 1t is of some to an almost appalling ex- text; and if Blake did see these faces, either in daylight or in darkness, he had more than his imagination to draw upon when he depicted the passions E. Greenwood in Contemporary Review.

Thanksgiving in the South.

Speaking of Thanksgiving it is pity that it is not more generally observed al the south than it is. We excuse our selves by saying that Christmas takes its place, but it does not; the associations of that day are-or should be-of more spiritual nature than gratitude for tn supply of our temporal wants during the year. Of course there are church services-very slimly attended-and ii is legal holiday, so that business is generally suspended.
 We might take 8 hint from the Puri. tan custom of making it day of fam. fly reunions without doing much vio. lence to the memory of our cavalier ancestors. A few congregations have of late years converted it into a kind of harvest home festival, decorating thei, churches with grain and fruit, the lat. ter being afterward distributed to those to whom it is a luxury.-Charleston News
