THE PERCEvAL MURDER.
A Prophetic Dream and Its Fulfllment
in 1912.

A Prophetic Dream and Its Fulfument
in 1912.
One of our contemporaries revives a
curiously prophetic dream and it's full
fllment with regard to the murder Of
MIR. Perceval, the prime minister, in
1912. Mr.. John Fox, great mining
contractor in Cornwall. was on a visit 70
a friend at Redruth; and on the night of
his arrival he dreamed most wildly that
he was in the house of commons, and sit
ting on one of the benches in the lobby
waiting for a member to give him I.
ticket of admission. A man was sitting
next to him who seemed very restless,
and constantly asked for Mr.. Perceval
Then the murder took place, a great
confusion arose, the murderer was
caught, and his Observation-Disclosures
elected.
The dream at this point ended. Mr..
IoX had never been in the house Of COM
mons, never seen either Perceval OF.
disturbed state of mind the next morn
ing; but, on hearing the particulars of
the dream, not unnaturally laughed az
it. The papers, however, soon con-
firmed it in every detail; and as the
story of the dream spread far and wide,
MI. Fox was sent for to come to Lon
don, and Immediately taken to the
house of commons. He Immediately
pointed out the bench he had atiupoa
in his dream, the door through which
Mr.. Perceyal had entered, the exac,
spot where the murder was committed.
and also described the appearance o.
both the victim and Bellingham down
to the clothes both had worn.
In Sir John ick'sautobiography.
il 1926, it is related that the story of
Mr.. Fox's dream had been heard BY
him and his father, and was implicitly
believed, owing to the high repute in
which Mr.. Fox was held. Newcastle

A KINGS TOE NAIL.

one OF King Victor Emmanuers Presented
to His Wife.
An interesting story is told in regard
to the late Victor Emmanuels toe nail.
A few days after the death of King Vic
tor Emmanuel, King Humbert sent for
mis- half brother, Count Mirafori, an
officer in the Italian army. Every one is
aware Of the fact that sons of royal
marriages do not look with favorable
eyes at the offspring of morganatic
marriages.. Rumors of the quarrels
caused by this emnity had more than
once found their way through tn,
palace gates. Count Mirafiori arrived
at the Quirinal in an anxious frame of
mind. II have promised his majesty,
my father" said King Humbert, "to
continue your pension of 10000 francs
month that he was in the habit OF
giving you. I hope some day to be able
to give you the capital of this income,
Here is case containing two pistols
that belonged to the king. Keep them
in remembrance of him and this beg
you to take to your mother. 1t is his
toe nail, surrounded with diamonds.
The king has had it mounted expressly
for her."
A toe nail surrounded by diamonds!
What kind of relic could that be? 1t
is a talisman. Victor Emmanuel let
one of his toe nails grow for whole
year, and on January 1 he cut this
curiosity, which was about three quar-
tiers of an inch long. A jeweler gave to
it the polish and brilliancy of the stone
called cat's-eye and mounted it in =
gold setting with diamonds. The king
was in the habit of offering this strange
jewel to his wife and Countess Rosine
had as many as IA of them The 18th
nail presented by King Humbert to
Count Mirafori had been cut January
l, 1878, and the. jeweler had not had
time to prepare it, for Victor En-
manuel died week later. Was this
talisman supposed to ward off sudden
death? It is very probable, for Is
years before his death popular pre-
diction had announced that Victor
Emmanuel would die ''colle scarpe,''
with his shoes on, and sure enough the
king did breathe his last while sitting
in an arm chair and in full dress.-Cin-
