His Trip to Japan.

The rector of one of the up town
churches announced in Sunday school
that all the boys who were faithful at
tendants at the classes for specified
time should be taken on a stereopticon
trip to Japan.
Time passed, and the period was fin
ished. But before the promised enter
tainment could be announced there was
a ring at the rectory door one day, and
a good woman appeared inquiring for
the preacher. He was out, and she was
told she must come again.
She was willing, adding that she
wanted to see him about her boys 60
ing to Japan. He had won the trip, she
said, but she didn't know what clothes
he would need or what preparations she
might have to make.
1t Is to be feared, though 1t is..not so
stated, that the rector was out the next
time she called too. New York Times.

An Uncanny Dream In Which Major An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.

An Uncanny Dream In Which Major An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.
The following instance may serve to
strixingly justify Colquhoun's theory
that there is an original spiritual ener-
gy expressed in dreams which has moth
ing to do with the state Of the body and
is beyond the power of the soul when it
has been reabsorbed by the material or
ganization ON awaking.
Prior to his embarkation for America
at the outbreak of the Revolutionary
war Major Andre went to visit friend,
Miss Rebecca Steward, who lived in
Derbyshire. During his stay it was ar
ranged that they should ride over to
view the wonders of the famous Peak.
It was also Miss Stewards desire to in
troduce the major to some friends in the
neighborhood, including Mr.. Newton
and the curate of the parish, Mr.. Cum
ningham. She had given both these gen.
tlemen notice of her intention, and
while awaiting her arrival Mr.. Gun
ningham took occasion to tell Mr.. New
ton the circumstances of dream he
had had the night before, which affect
ed him so that he could not shake off
the recollection OF It.
He said that he was standing in the
midst of forest that was entirely
strange to him. After gazing lstlessly
around him for few moments he per-
ceived horseman approaching at great
speed AS the latter came opposite the
spot where the dreamer stood three men
81 - L.. lei. IN,
bush sprang from their place of con
cealment, and seizing the bride of the
horse ordered the rider to dismount.
They then carefully searched his person
and led him away. The face, figure
and bearing of the horseman made 80
deep an impression upon Mr.. Cunning
ham 3 mind that he awoke, but falling
asleep again presently dreamed that he
was one of throng of spectators near
great city; that he saw the same per-
son he had seen seized in the wood
brought out between files of soldiers,
who marched him to gallows and
there hanged him. When Major Andre
and Miss Steward arrived, Mr.. Cunning
ham was horror struck to discover in
the person of Miss Steward 8 friend the
very man whose seizure and execution
he had witnessed in his dream.
Here was an accurate anticipation of
events that actually happened within
10 months from the date of the dream.
The capture of Andre, the search of his
person for documents that convicted
him for acting the part of spy and his
public execution constitute one of the
most dramatic episodes of the contest
with the mother country. How is it
imaginable that so definite a vision OF.
coming events could arise from the in
fiuence of any physical condition ON the
mind of the sleeperf What possible
state of the body could confer upon the
soul the power to describe future occur
rences with such exact fidelity 10 de
tailsp-New York Times.

probably long empty and deserted
house.
"He made frantic, fruitless efforts to
free himself and shouted at intervals
till he was voiceless and faint from ex-
haustion. At last in one of his widest
struggles the bench to which he was
fastened toppled over, and he came heavi-
ly to the ground.
He must have lain senseless for hours
When he regained consciousness, he
heard voices. Two men were in the
kitchen too busily engaged to take any
notice of him.
'Wherell We stow its'
Here in the chimley, high up above
the damper. It'll lie there safe until to-
morrow; then we'll fetch in Ikey to

"'Let him rot. Leave him where he
is. Maybe tomorrow We'll do for him.
It'll be safest, eh?
sThen the two ruffians-one of whom
the colonel recognized as his discharged
servant, Raskelf-departed without an
other thought of their captive.
"There was no hope for him. Present
torture prolonged past endurance per-
haps, then violent death. He rolled to
and fro, now above and now under the
bench, continually injuring himself and
yelling often with the pain of some sud
den collision or blow.
''Then he struck against something.
The fingers of his right hand touched it,
and with the exaggerated sense of touch
due to his position he realized that it was
@ matchbox
although his wrist was bound, his
fingers were free, and at last, after end
less attempts, he opened the box, and
then ensued a long struggle before he
could strike match. But he succeeded,
finally succeeded also in applying the
light to one of his bonds.
"a second and third match were
necessary, but at last the cord caught
fire and was burned-oh, SO SLOWLY
smoldering, smoldering, all the night
through. The dawn had broken before
his right hand was free.
"To escape from the house was an easy
matter. But it took three hours to drag
himself to Pail Mall from Seacole street,
Stratford, and he was well nigh done
when he reached his home.
"In less than an hour watch was set
upon the house in which the colonel had
been imprisoned. The two scoundrels
who had been first his captors, then his
jailers, and one at least of them his per-
senator, were taken red handed as they
returned In search of their "swag. y

w.st virginia

West Virginia, with less than s00,-
600 inhabitants, has but three cities
and is essentially a rural and half set
tied region. In spite of her enormous
wealth in timber and mines also, many
of her counties number only handful
of people. No West Virginia county
has so, 900 inhabitants, and only 10 have
more than $1,000, while 10 have less
than 10, and two less than 5000.
In many Of the mountainous counties
the conditions of life are simple to the
last degree, and the people are far re-
moved from the great currents OF ma
tional life in spirit as well as in distance
and time.--New York Sun.

OLD FRIENDS THE BEST.

Grandpa looked at his fine, new chair
On the twenty-sixth Of December,
Saying: Santa Claus is so good to mel
He never fails to remember.
But my own armchair is the one for me-"
And he settled himself In it nicely.
Il hope he won't mind IL cling to it,
For it fits my back precisely"
Papa came home that very night
He had plowed his way through the snow
And the Christmas twinkle had left his eye,
And his step was tired and slow.
Warming for him his slippers lay,
The lovely, embroidered In gold ones
That hung on the Christmas tree last night,
But he slipped his feet In the old ones.
And when dear little Marjory's bedtime came
On the parlor rug they found her,
The long, dark lashes adroop on her cheeks
And her Christmas toys around her.
Neglected Angelique's waxen nose
The fire had melted completely,
But her precious rag doll, Hannah Jane,
On her breast was resting sweetly.

THE REORGANIZATION THEORY.
A Beautiful Explanation That Was Painful
In Its Final Application,

A Beautiful Explanation That Was Painful
In Its Final Application.
Landlord Allan IL always looking for
O good thing and always recognizes it
when he sees it. This he found in a
Washington paper, and the local appli-
cation makes it the more interesting:
If there is good story born in Wash
ington, it is two to one shot that its
cradle will lie in the back parlor Of
JoLN Chamberlin s. DR.. Edward Bed
loe came over from Philadelphia one
night and sat therein entertaining a
choice group of friends with tales of the
far east. In the edge Of the group sat
man from Pennsylvania, who had come
over from Pottsville on some govern
ment contracting business. He was all
ears and eagerness. His name was
Strauss. Finally the restraint became
too intense, and he broke loose.
"Toctor, +" said he, what Is dot new
relichun I heers off about China? My
wife has got it ferry bad, und I don't
understand it,"
"Tell me the name," said Bedloe.
"Is it Mohammedanism Buddhism,
Shintoism, Taoism, Confucianism or
whata''
"Oh, it is no isms, but der name is
like tramp's migrashun of der soul,
ain'd it?"
"Oh, you doubtless mean transmit
grafton of the soul"
yah, dots it. You dell me about
dot"
Certainly. Transmigration of the
soul is very pretty poetic doctrine Of
metempsychosis which our friends of
the Theosophical society have borrowed
from the far east
Here, here, toctori Tell me vot dot
means, SO l can understand what you
vos talking aloud"
Cali right, will tell you in plain
language. Take yourself, for instance.
You live to the allotted age of three
score years and ten, and then you pass
away. Your soul goes into the body Of
a bird--a canary, we'll say--and from
your gilded cage you fill a lady's bou-
doir with the melody, living a life of
luxury and fed from the dainty fingers
of beauty
"oh, dot is beautiful, peautifull l
like dot''
And then you die again, and your
soul goes into lovely flower in gar
den, and you fill all the air with fra
GRANGE and delight the eye with your ex-
quisite color and delicacy of petals
"Ah, dot is finel like dot relichun. /"
"As I was saying when you inter-
rupted me, you live the life of flower,
until one day donkey gets into the
garden, and attracted by your lowell
ness he eats you, and your soul passes
into the donkey
Yah, yah"
"When some former acquaintance
comes along, strokes your long ears and
says; Why, Strauss, is it your How
little you have changedl' "--Pottsville
