A Penobscot County doctor some
time ago had strange experience in
thought transference or something of
the kind. He had been visiting pa
tient in Piscataquis County and was
returning in the darkness, when his
horse stumbled and fell. Fortunately
the doctor was not thrown out and the
only thing broken was one thill. This
he was able to mend so as to continue
his journey. AS he drove up to his
door he was surprised to see his wife
who met him with the question, "You
did meet with an accident, didn't
you?" The doctor looked at his wife
in astonishment, which was not wholly
dispelled as she explained that she had
gone to bed and to sleep, but had sud-
denly found herself in a sitting pos
ture with n nameless dread that some-
thing terrible had happened to her
husband. Being unable to shake it off
she had arisen and waited for his re-
turn. On comparison, it was found
that the time of the accident and that
of her strange awakening were identi-
cal. Lewiston, Me-, Journal.

The Hiccup Nut.

The fruit of this South African
plant is locally known as the "hiccup"
nut, and by the natives as "Umtan-
dawa." The plant is a climbing shrub
with ovate leave and terminal spikes
of dull red flowers. The fruit is an
oblong nut with a pleasant flavor but
causes violent hiccough if only few
are eaten. At tone time Mr.. Wood
tried them on himself. and did not
care to repeat the experiment. An
allied species known, as "Umduba,
distinguished by its papery four
winged fruits, and its leaves turning
almost white before Towering, but
reddish in the autumn, is stated by
j. Kirkman to be used as a medicine
by the natives in the dose of one-half
ounce or less, but an overdose causes
death. Scientific American.

ventilation is assured, and a greater
amount of health is the consequence.
Wood fires are an expensive necessity,
but the investment, for n steam heated
apartment, has n distinct advantage
that cannot be overlooked. AS gen
cral thing very little steam heat is
allowed in the living rooms of flats.
1t is turned ON in the hall, per-
haps, sufficiently long to warm the
other rooms, and then the jani-
tor does the rest. He let's it down.
Then the cosy little blaze on tho
hearth has its turn, and very soon tho
whole place is in glow; the sweet
odor of the pines mingled with tho
resinous odor of some forest tree that
has gathered mossy coat which the
flame now devours without delay, per-
meates the atmosphere and fills the
lungs with anti microbe air. 1t is true
the wood fire requires constant atten-
ton, but the charm of that is known
to most nervous people who can never
see pair of tongs without wishing to
use them in fastening the consump-
tion of fuel. But one signal advant-
age of such fire is, it goes out when
you do, and will respond at once to
the friendly bellows when you return.
If health is consideration devoutly
to be prayed for, it can be wooed and
won by this germ consuming warmth
much more easily than the average
theorist imagines. Nowadays, when
everybody "talks" hygiene, it is
strange one of its very first requisites
should be neglected. -Roston Herald.

An Avalanche in Maine.

When nature does anything in the
vast northern Maine wilderness, she
does it on a grand scale, and now
comes news of landslide there, COM
pared with which the famous avalanche
of the Crawford notch was but child's
play. One evening not long ago, dur
ing one of the heavy thuneer showers,
lightning struck the summit of Mt.
Baker. Mr.. Bandall who lives alone
in his camp about five miles from the
mountain, heard amid the crashes of
thunder a long-drawn roaring unlike
anything he had heard before. 1t
startled him so as to drive sleep from
him during the night and in the morn
ing he started out to find whence the
sound came. One glance at the Baker
mountain solved the mystery. Thou
sands of tons of rocks, loosened pro-
badly by the lightning shock, had
ploughed a trough an eighth OF a mile
wide from summit to base of the peak.
For several miles the enormous trees
had been swept before the avalanche and
buried under twenty-five feet of gravel.
The news reached the lower settle
ments day or two later, being borne
by the thick muddy water that changed
the character of Lyford Ponds, Silver
lake and Pleasant river. An expedi-
ton started north ward to learn the
cause of this mud, and heard the
whole story at Randall's camp.-Lew-
iston (Me. y Journal.

The Gorilla Carried Off a Boy.

AS the Hall Circus was preparing
the opening of the side show at But
terville, Ind, recently, the big goril-
10 made his escape. While his keeper
was feeding him he sprang against the
cage door, and in an instant was out.
The keeper was overpowered by the
monster, which ran out on the grounds,
and picking up small boy, he made
for the woods A big crowd was soon
in pursuit with guns, clubs and dogs,
and when the beast was overtaken no
one dared to shoot for fear of killing
the child.
Two bulldogs were set on the goril-
la, one of which he killed almost in
stantly. The other was so frightened
that he could not be induced to go
near him. By this time his keeper
succeeded in getting hold of his chain.
another threw strong rope over his
head, and he was overpowered and
safely lodged in his cage. Aside from
few scratches the boy was not in
jured. Koko Mongo, the gorilla,
when the boy was taken near the cage
after he was again in confinement,
made all kinds of faces and antics as
if to explain his fondness for the boy.

His house on the boulevard had been
