Irrigation by Storage" He said that ali

tive country under the sun. He thought
that irrigation by storage wouid cause tie
needed moisture. He said that a small
fraction of the precipitation that fell dur
ing the year would make s lake one-fourih
OF a mile square and FIVE feet deep for ev-
cry section Of land. This could be utilized
easily for irrigation by means of latter
ais. and that the evaporation would also be
advantageous by increasing the humidity

on a small scale would, however. be futile

shcrman,s Remarkable Dream.

Writers Tho have busted themselves
picking up anecdotes and incidents OF
the life OF Sherman appear to have
wholly overlooked the story of his re-
markable dream The st. Louis Re-
publican has had the account in a
scrap-boo1 for upwards OF twenty years.
It is as follows:
One night the general took refuge in
an old farm house and had fallen into
a deep sleep when he was visited by a
most exciting dream. He fancied that
the house in which he slept was sur
rounded by a band of guerillas, who
had dug hole beneath the room in
which he lay. filed it with powder and
touched it oil. The explosion that fol
lowed was terrible. and the general
thought he saw himself flying through
the air in sections. The shock of this
terrible experience caused him to jump
TO the middle OF the floor. Hastily
dressing. he left the bu@iing. He had
not gone far into the night when q red
glare shot up from the farm house,
followed by a terrible explosion. The
building was wrecked. but the dream
had saved the life OF the great general.

| wAYSIDE FLOWERS.
The Rue Git lie Ceur is not one of the
| fashionable streets Of Paris. 1t does no,
! belong TO the English quarter, or the Ameri
can quarter, or the Legitimist quarter, OF
the Dip omatic quarter; the quarter Art, OF
| Learning, of Science, or the delnt monde
! Beauty and fashion never visit the spot. II
has hardly a place on the map of Paris.
And yet, like many another such Streets IL
is "A little world in itself, and human beings
/ are born and die in it, and passions pare
and holy, and base and wicked, are nourish.
ed and fostered there; and comedies and
| tragedies are acted there, turn by turn, as
the wedding feast is spread, or the funeral
| drapery hung out, black and limp and dis
nal. against the dizzy door-posts.
Git 10 Cgur is q narrow shabby little
street, hidden somewhere in the densely
populated district between the Boulevard
ST. Michel and the Rue DIES Saints PereS. Ii
is near the Quai DIES Augustins, which makes
a pleasant promenade for its inhabitants on
summer evenings, near the river, within
sight of the mighty towers Of Notre Dame,
within sound OF her deep-tOncd bells. 1t is
near the Motgue and not very far from the
hospitals; near the h0wer-market near
much that Is central and busy, closely hem
med round with the teeming life Of the
workaday world of Paris; but very far from
the haunts OF pleasure, from the famous
restaurants, from clubs and cafes, from
parks and parterres, from opera-house and
RristOcratic hotel.
1t is a narrow street-croOked tOo-and
the houses are of the shab5est. In one Of
these houses, a house which lay back from
the street, and, with three others, formed q
stony quadrangle, enclosing q little yard.
dwelt Rose and Kathleen O'Iara, two sis
tiers of Irish parentage, the daughters OF a
poor Irish gentleman, who had come here
from the good city of Brug2s in Flanders,
Just twelve years ago. and had occupied the
same little aparim mt on the third story ever
since. just nineteen years ago Captain
O'lIara was living with young second wife

his first MARI a e, in the city Of Brussels.

AL On Account of a Tond.

An amusing episode, in which big
lie, toad and a Minneapolis travelling
man were tAe chief actors took place
last Sunday in Western New York.
says the Minneapolis Tribune. The
travelling man Is A. d. Ireland. living
at 1907 Hennepin avenue. On the day
mentioned he visited a farmer uncle
in part of the Empire State and was a
little inclined TO draw the long bow in
regard to the wonders of the Western
country. which his relative had never
seen.
Now, Ireland tell me what was
the largest corn field you ever saw in
the West?" inquired the uncle a. they
were sitting out in front Of the house.
Ireland meditated a moment and
then replied: The largest field OF
corn ever saw out there was on the
Missouri bottoms. 1t was twenty-five
miles long"
Before the recording angel had made
black mark opposite tle narrator's
name. the toad-one of the big warty
fellows--hopped out from under the
porch and looked up at him with a
sinister CLEAN in its beady eyes.
THE devil" calculated Ireland,
without completing the exaggerated
dimension of the field. "I'll take ii
all back, uncle; that field was only ten
miles long"
Then the toad hoped back under
the porch, while the sheep in the pas
ture across the road stuck their heads
over the stone wall to see what the
laughing was about.
