HIS Reasons.

People sometimes ask me why spell
my name with two MS" said Repre-
sentative Hermann. when I was a
student in Maryland years ago, got
the idea into my head that would fol-
low the fashion and eliminate the extra
letter. started in by writing to my
father, arespected and prominent physi-
clan in Baltimore, and signing it in the
improved way, Your affectionate son,
Binger Herman. My father quickly
detected the change, and back came a
letter whose earnest approaches L have
never forgotten.
He pointed out that the name stood
for one OF the greatest heroes of antiq-
uity, Armenius, the Hermann of Taci-
tus, who stood like bulwark against
Roman lust Of conquest, and to whose
leadership the ancient Germans owed
the preservation ST their nationality,
their language and their freedom. He
said that name was given me by those
who alone had the authority to confer
it, and with their consent the name
should never be altered, even In respect
to letter. The rebuke l received SO
impressed me that 1 concluded if the
name was good enough for my father it
would be good enough for me. Wash

A MOST MYSTERIOUS VISION.
An Uncanny Dream In Which DIajor Al
dre's Fate Was Depicted.

An Uncanny Dream In Which DIaior An
dre's Fate Was Depicted.
The following instance may serve to
strikingly 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.
1t 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.. Gun
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 listlessly
around him for few moments he per-
ceived a horseman approaching at great
speed. As the latter came opposite the
spot where the dreamer stood three men
who seemed to have been lying in am
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 SO
deep an impression upon Mr.. Cunning
ham s 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 Stewards 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 a spy and his
public execution constitute one of the
most dramatic episodes of the contest
with the mother country. How is it
that so definite vision of
coming events could arise from the in
fuence of any physical condition on the
mind of the sleeper? What possible
state of the body could confer upon the
soul the power to describe future occur
rences with such exact fidelity to de-
York Times.

BREAKFAST AND HEALTH.
The Latter Is Promoted by Taking che
Former Before Exercise.

Former Before Exercise.
Breakfast should be eaten in the
morning before leaving the house for
exercise or labor Of any description.
Those who do it will be able to perform
more work. and with greater comfort
and alacrity than those who work an
hour or two before breakfast. Besides
this the average duration of life of
those who take breakfast before exer-
else or work will be number Of years
greater than those who do otherwise.
Most persons begin to feel weak after
having been engaged five or six hours
in their ordinary avocations; a good
meal reinvigorates, but from the last
meal of the day until next morning
there is an interval Of some 10 or IL
hours. Hence the body, in sense. is
weak, and in proportion cannot resist
deleterious agencies, whether of the
fierce cold of midwinter or of the poi
sonous miasm which rests upon the sur
face of the earth whenever the sun
shines on blade Of vegetation or q
heap Of offal
This mlasm is more solid, moro con-
centrated, and hence more malignant
about sunrise and sunset than at any
other hour Of the "a, because the cold
of the night condenses it, and it is on
the first few inches above the soil in its
most solid form, but as the sun rises it
warns and expands and ascends to q
point high enough to be breathed, and
being taken into the lungs with the air
and swallowed with the saliva into the
stomach, all weak and empty as it is,
it is greedily drank in, thrown immedi-
ately into the circulation of the blood
and carried directly to every part of the
body. depositing its poisonous influences
at the very fountain head Of life.
If early breakfast were taken in re-
gions where chills and fever and ague
prevail, and if. in addition, brisk
fire were kindled in the family room
for the hours including sunset and
sunrise, these troublesome maladies
would diminish in any one year, not ten
| fold, but thousandfold, because thu
heat OF the fire would rarely the mias
matte air instantly and send it cbovf
the breathing point. .1sVsAsASsAs y

His THip to JaDan.

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 stereopticon
trip to Japan.
Time passed, and the period was fin
ished. But before the promised enter
tainment could be announced there was
ring at the rectory door one day, and
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 it is-not SO
stated, that the rector was out the next
time she called too.-New York Times.

sA POOR soBoLINki
Barbarous Treatment of Song Bird by
the Scrapple Eaters.

Philadelphia is the only city in the
world where the reedbird can be found
in o state Of overrunning obesity, and
the only place where it can be cooked to
perfection. In New York tho French
cooks conceal it's delicate toothsomeness
in rich dressing. There they know as
little about reedbirds as they do about
terrapin, scrapple and pepper pot. There
was given in this city one dinner in
which reedbirds were served in ID diff
ferent forms Among the courses were
soup made from reedbirds, reedbirds
stuffed with Blue Point oysters, reed
birds placed inside followed potato
and roasted, reedbirds stuffed with herb
filling and baked, reedbirds slowed
with fresh mushrooms, reedbirds split
and broiled-an abominable practice, by
the way; reedbirds saute, and a seem
ing pie, from which, when the crust
was lifted, two dozen reedbirds few
forth and around the room.
But, after all, there is only one way
to. cook and eat the succulent reedies-
sautel Select birds which have little
clumps Of yellow fat ON both sides Of
the part last over the fence. Place them
in saucepan--or, better still, chatting
dish-with plenty Of the best butter,
salt, black pepper, and plentiful sprin-
Killing of paprika-the sweet Hungarian
pepper which nowadays can be found in
any first GLASS grocery. They must not
be split and their heads must not be re-
moved. Cook them for five or six min
utes, according to the size of the bird
and the heat Of the fire, but do not al
low the yellow fat to BECOME Drowned.
Nothing could be simpler, and yet few.
very few, cooks can prepare the reedbird
without destroying its toothsomeness.
There is an art also in the eating Of
his daintiness, but it can only be ap-
piled to birds Of the character and pre-
pared in the manner described above

ticket is of little consequence. AS there
were at the last election about half as
many Populist votes as Democratic, the
electoral ticket might be made up of six
Democrats and three Populists. But the
number OF each, as will be shown later,
is of 10 Importance.
This electoral ticket of Democrats and
Populsts shall be voted for by both
parties on the understanding that if the
Populists cast more votes in the state than
the Democrats the nine electors, Demo-
Gratis and Populists, shall vote for Watson
for vice-president. The strength Of the
two parties can be judged by their vote
on some state office on which party lines
are drawn. The only state official voted
for in California at this election is the
acknowledgements. Let it be agreed be-
tween the state committees and the cleo
tors that if the Democratic vote for lieu
tenant-governor is greater than the Pop
ullst vote for the same Office the nine cleo
tors shall vote for Bryan and Sewail, or
II Populists out-vote the Democrats that
all nine shall vote for Bryan and Wat
