IN A DREAM.

It Is said that on the night petofe
the death of young John w. Mackay
his friend and companion, Mr., Dlgby,
dreamed that he witnessed precisely
such an accident as on the day follow
ing he witnessed.
1t was man in Saco, Me-, whose
sleep, usually sound and dreamless,
was so disturbed the other night that
he awoke and arose to find his barn
floor on fire. He was just in time to
put out the flames.
Mrs. John Reid, of Point Lick, ny,
went visiting recently and dreamed
that some one had entered her celiar
at home and stolen some OF her pre-
serves. And they had! When she went
home thirty-two quarts OF stun were
missing, or, rather, missed.
Dreams quite often work by contrar-
les. though, as in the case OF httie
girl who took her small brother on
Kentucky railroad train, fell asleep ana
dreamed her brother had fallen OFF,
Still in her sleep she dragged him to
window, raised 1t, and would have
Jumped out had not the other passen-
gers interfered.

Raising Deer and Bears.

A deer and bear farm is the latest IN
dustrial project for northern Wisconsin,
and the men behind the plan think that
they have a fortune in sight. The farm
is situated in the woods a few miles
from the Great Northern road, and is
already fairly we'll stocked with anil
mails. The proprietors are James Allen
an old woodsman and hunter, and DR..
Harrison, New Yorker, who has been
spending much time in the northwest.
They propose to raise deer and bears
for the market, for the meat as well as
the fur.
The plan is not to turn the animals
loose in the woods, where they may be
shot by every hunter who comes along.
but to keep them in pens or corrals'
where they can be attended by their
keepers and watched over the same as
domestic animals. The idea originated
with Mr.. Allen two or three years ago,
and since then he has kept several male
and female bears and a number of deer
in separate pens near his home. He
has found that the animals will mate IN
captivity as we'll as in the wild state.
and has a number of cubs and fawns
to prove his statements. Allen Is now
engaged in enlarging his pens, buying
up all the deer and bears he can find,
and preparing for winter, when the
stock will need more care and attention
than at any other time during the year,
The intention is to feed the deer in
much the same manner as sheep, while
the bears will, in addition to corn and
potatoes, have more or less meat

Twas perhaps o'clock when the card

by scream from the ladies' cabin, and
there came rushing down toward the

at the next landing after the theft had
been accomplished At any rate, he
made good his escape, and the jewels
were never heard of again by their

The Man at the Lever.

The locomotive engineer Is a remark
ably placid fellow, with a habit of de-
1iberate precision in his look and mo-
tions. He occasionally turns q calm eye
to his gauge and then resumes his quiet
watch ahead. The three levers which
he has to manipulate are under his hand
for instant use. and when they are used
1t is quietly and in order, as an organ
list pulls out his stops. The noise in ths
cab makes conversation difficult, but
not as bad as that heard in the car
when passing another train, with or
without the windows open, and in look
ing out of the engine cab the objects are
approached gradually, not rushed past
as when one looks laterally out of a par
lor car window. The tact is that the
engineer does not look at the side-he Is
looking ahead-and therefore the speed
seems less, as the objects are approach
ed gradually.
Those who have ridden at ninety miles
an hour on a locomotive know that on a
good road (and there are many such)
the engine is not shaken and swayed in
a terrific manner, but is rather COM
Portable, and the speed is not so appar-
ent as when one Is riding In parlor
car, where only a lateral view Is had.
The engineer can be very comfortable
If he is quite sure of the track ahead,
and 1t is only in rounding curves or In
approaching crossings that he feels
nervous, and II is doubtful If 1t Is any
more strain to run a locomotive at high
speed than to ride a bicycle through
crowded thoroughfares. Judging by
the countenances of the bicycle rider
and the engineer, the engineer mas
rather the best of it.-Railroad Gazette.

the whole evening in the streets.
Five o'clock the next morning brought
very unwelcome discovery. 1 was lame in
both ankles and knees. The head wind and
the damp streets had proved an unfortunate
combination. gave, however, little thought
to it, supposing 1t would wear off in few
hours, and the first flush Of sunlight saw me
speeding out the splendid road that leads to-
ward Napanee.
Might overlook me at little village near
Port Hope, but found me still lame. I rested
the next day, and the next, but it was too
