My father, Mr.. A. c. King of lie Roy.
Ills, was very sick with la grippe in Jan
uary, 1892. On the Goth was sent for
and staid with him several days until he
was somewhat improved. j then re-
turned to my home, Decatur, Ills, some
90 miles distant, telling my brother Ed
ward to write me every day and if
necessary to telephone or telegraph me.
For quite awhile the letters came regu-
larly reporting everything favorable.
Then they ceased. There had not been
any letters for about week, when, on
the evening of the 18th of February /
concluded that would try the expert
ment of making Brother Edward write
the by writing to him and then tearing
up the letter, as suggested by Mark
Twain in Harper's. wrote the letter,
commencing it, Dear Brother Edward
i suppose that no news is good news,
as if all were not well you would write"
After ! had written the letter con-
cluded that ! would send it, as, if the
mind influence had acted upon Edward
by my writing the letter, the sending
thereof would not interfere with it. He
would receive it the next day. At z
o'clock on the morning of Feb. IS, re-
ceived a letter from Edward, dated the
10Th, saying; Dear Brother james,
have not written you for several days,
because l have had no bad news to re-
port. Recollect, no news will be good
news" As near as we can learn, he
wrote this letter at the same time that
was writing to him, Is the fact that his
thoughts, and even words, were the
same as mine a mere coincidence, or
something moreI-Arena

Impudence In Real Life.

Here is story of impotence from real
life. 1t was told by my late friend, the
Rev. Greville Chester, who made little
novel out Of it, but i do not think the
book Caught on" or had any success.
The thing happened almost exactly as
follows: There was lady living in the
country; she was advanced in years,
either unmarried or a widow; she was
wealthy, and she lived alone.
One winter evening she heard the
sound Of carriage wheels on the gravel.
The door was opened, and then fol-
lowed the humping of trunks in the hall.
Then lady's name was announced, and
her visitor entered. She came in rum
ming; she came in holding out both her
hands; she came in with a laugh Of well
come and Of joy. you dearest Jenny"
she cried, kissing her with trimming
eyes. ut is 40 years since last we part
ed at deal old Miss IS school. How
are you? How are you? Oh, my dear,
/ am so glad to see you'll And I've come
to stayw
She sat down, threw off her bonnet
and began to rattle on about the school.
When they separated for the night, the
hostess reflected that she had not even
asked her visitors name and that she re-
membered nothing at all about her. In
the morning she did ask her name, but
yet she remembered nothing at all about
her. That visitor came to stay. In fact,
abe never went away again. The two
ladies lived together in the greatest ami
ty till the end. And to the very end the
hostess never knew who her friend was
and could not associate her name OF her
face with her old school. Walter Besant

New Zealand Mutton,

The sheep farmer, it seems, finds that
he can deliver his sheep, with a fair
profit, for pence pound at the nearest
port or freezing point. The killing and
freezing process is undertaken chiefly by
companies, which have established freez-
ing stations at various convenient points
along the coast, and which ship the car
cases, consigned to agents in London or
elsewhere. One of the sights of the day
at the Albert docks is the arrival of one
of the New Zealand Shipping company's
fine steamers, perhaps the Tongariro or
the Rimutaka, or some other of the feet
with the sonorous Maori names, and to
see the subsequent discharge of some
q, 900 carcasses, each neatly wrapped in
its winding sheet of white calico.
The whole years expectation now fig
ures to about 100000 frozen carcasses
and is rapidly increasing. Yet with all
this depletion the number of sheep in the
colony is rapidly increasing. The focks
have largely increased in number, and
the export of wool has risen from about
81, 000, 600 pounds in 1882 to los, 900, 900
In 1S91.-A1l the Year Round.
