Sequence in Dreams.

Dreams are curious things. About
week ago a West Philadelphia girl
dreamed that she lost her watch, and
in the morning she looked in the place
where she always put her timepiece,
to discover that it was gone. This, of
course, led her to believe that some
one had actually stolen it, and that
she was not dreaming, but was merely
in q half sleep. With this dishearten.
ing suspicion the crestfallen young
woman told her brother of the affair.
The brother had to visit various pawn
shops and station houses, give care
full description of the costly article,
and was kept hustling around about
three or four days vainly endeavoring
to get a clue. But he finally aban-
doned all hopes of recovering the lost
treasure. In the evening of the very
day that her brother discontinued the
search the fair loser OF the time-piece
had another dream. This time she
dreamed that before retiring she had
hidden her watch in a shoe in the bot.
tom of closet. After rising next
morning. merely out of curiosity, she
went to the place designated in her
dream, and to her amazement there
beheld the innocent timepiece. Phil

MOOnblink.

Three cases of "moonblink" oc-
Cured on the British steamship Acan-
thus, which reached Philadelphia the
other day. After the 1ow-lyIng hills
frlnging the shores Of Batavia faded
from view on the afternoon of July IA
for eighty days her crew of sixty-six
officers and seamen saw no land,
sighted no vessel and encountered no
storm. Among the crew are three
seamen who, during the run across the
Indian Ocean, suffered terribly from
sudden blindness at night, the result
of that strange disease of the eyes
prevalent in the tropics, and known to
the sailors as "moonblink. One
bright, moonlight night, while the
Acanthus was steaming across the In
dian Ocean, one OF them finding his
berth in the forecastle too uncomfort-
ably hot, went out and lay upon the
deck. The moon was nearing her full,
and shone almost directly overhead.
When the watch was changed at mid
night he was awakened and was horri-
fed to find himself blind. At first the
captain thought the man might be
shamming to avoid going on duty, but
an in yestigation was made, and
it was found that he could not
see, although his eyes were wide
open. The calamity was at once
diagnosed as case of "moon-
blink" and the captain cautioned
his men against running such risks.
When day began to break sight began
to return. and by sunrise he could see
as we'll as if nothing unusual had hap
pened. All of that day the case formed
the chief topic of conversation, and
when night came two more men de-
termined to test the effect OF the
moon. After two hours nap in the
full glare of the moon both men were
awakened totally blind. An order
from the captain prevented any fur
ther experimenting in that line during
the rest of the voyage. Philadelphia

Blenheim's New Pet Dog.

The Blenheim spaniel is in the as
tendency now, with the grandest
danes in the English aristocracy, who
fancy canine pets. And to the Van
derbilt duchess of the house of Marl-
borough belongs the credit for restor-
ing him in favor. Nearly every one
knows that the curly haired little
spaniel had for its ancestor dog OF
unknown antecedents, who had the
good sense, as well as the bravery, to
frisk at the heels of Handsome" John
Churchhill, the first Duke of Marl-
borough, during the entiro battle of
Blenheim, which won for the general
dukedom. Churchill was affected by
the little spaniels attention and devo
tion, and henceforth adopted him as
the canine pet of his household.
LILLIAN, the previous Duchess OF
Marlborough, did not, it seems, take
to the little doggie. But the present
Duchess has been reading up on the
past OF the Churchill family. and when
she found out the connection of the
little spaniel with the history of the
house, she adopted it as her favorite
lap-dog. She carries it with her on
her daily drives and other fashiona
BILE women of London have approved
of the revival and there is now con.
stantly increasing demand for the lit
tie spaniels.

Frozen Mutton.

The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is OF inferior price to that of
New Zealand has a three-fold explana-
tion. In the first place, New Zealand
possesses oday mutton producing
breed superior to that grown in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zea-
lander feeds his stock during the win
ter time with extra forage, while in
the Argentine the sheep are allowed to
Craze upon the same bare pamps DUR
ing the dead season. The result of
this is that the New Zealander pro-
duces an even, well-grown carcass,
while there is sent home from the Plate
one upon which a hasty covering of
fat has been put during the spring
months of the year. The differ
ence between the two carcasses
will readily be noted by anyone who
pays visit to the cattle market.
Thirdly, the freezer in New Zealand
freezes the mutton on account of the
breeder; and in the Argentine the
freezer buys from the breeder. The
disa Vantage of the latter system, so
long as the breeder has no knowledge
of the requirements Of the market, is
apparent. The New Zealand breeder
selects his wethers with care, rejecting
any which will give an inferior weight,
or which are nsutficiently fattened for
the butcher. He RENTS them in small
droves to the freezing establishments,
and takes every care that they shall
arrive in perfect order. The Argen-
tine breeder, on the other hand, makes
a contract with the representative of
the freezer to sell given number;
and the latter binds himself to remove
them within certain date. New York

And Ellen thrust Mr.. Morrill's bag
into his hand and disappeared down a
side street.
The intimation that his wife had run
away from him was q great surprise,
and altogether alarming, and caused
Mr.. Morrill, to take review of his
brief married life as he walked slowly
toward the home of his wife's girl
hood. Although he thought her choice
of a contidante in rather questionable
taste, and wished she had seen fit to
take a different course, he was forced
to admit that his mother and sister
were rather trying, and he found him
self saying, "Poor little girl" as he
turned into the familiar path to the
house.
He was not surprised that Ellen
should answer his ring, nor amused by
the ceremony with which she ushered
him into the parlor and asked the
name, for he began to be touched by
reflection of his wife's misery.
Mrs. Morrill, was SO overcome by
Ellen's tldings that her husband was
in the parlor waiting for her that she
could not control herself sufficiently
to go down. With deft fingers Ellen
touched up the bright hair. and
slipped a fresh handkerchief in her
belt, then drawing Mrs. Morrill's
hand through her arm, took her down
to the parlor. Az she softly closed the
door, she heard Mr.. Morrill, say with
world of tender reproach in his voice,
"Lucy" and her face mantled red as
she said to herself, "Thatll fetch her.
'Twould me. It's all right now. Ole
cat don't fine it out"
The outcome of it was that young
Mr.. and Mrs. Morrill, had home of
their own in which Ellen served be-
loved mistress in all the fidelity of
her strange, warm heart. Mrs. Angler
heaved sigh as of slave set free
when she saw the carriage door close

smoothly mixed. Have ready one
heaping spoonful of cornstarch blend
ed in one tumblerful of cold water,
and when boiling, stir in, and keep
stirring constantly till all cooks to-
gether for three minutes; then pour
out into large earthen bowl. When
thoroughly cold, beat up till very
light, with an egg beater, and add
thereto, and beat in the frothed whites
of the two eggs. All will be perfectly
smooth and feathery, delicate color
and flavor. Pour into wet moulds,
and set in cold place till wanted for

add the two beaten yolks, and two
spoonfuls of sugar, with little salt.
Bring just to a boil only, and remove

II love were not, the wilding rose
Would in its leafy heart inclose
No chaice of perfume.
By mossy bank, in glen or grot,
No bird would build, if love were NOT,
No flower complacent bloom.
The sunset clouds would lose their dyes.
The light would fade from beauty's eyes,
The stars their fires consume,
And something missed from hall and cot
Would leave the world, If love were not,
wilderness OF gloom!

Artistic Silver Certificates,

The new issue of United States sill
yer certificates. for one. two and five
dollars respectively, ranks, by virtue
OF beautiful design and effective en-
craving, as the most artistic paper
money ever put in circulation. We
do not see on these bills the confusion
of titles, portraits, vignettes and lathe
work scrolls and borders usually found
on bank notes, but consistent deco
rative picture embodying a thought
wrought out in unity OF purpose, which
both pleases the eye and makes coun-
terfeiting more difficult. Thus utility
is served no less than art.
In other respects the certificates do
credit to the intelligence and Ameri-
can spirit of the officials who have
taken part in their preparation, For
instance, due honor has been done, for
the first time in this way, to American
invention and American literature, by
the excellent engraved portraits Of
Fulton and Morse which decorate the
back of the two dollar certificate, and
by the names of great writer's and in
ventors which appear among those of
warriors and statesmen on the face of
the ones.
Thus the vital Importance of the
industrial ana social sides of the Ma.
tion's life are avowed on its currency
as never before; thus, at last, the
stamp on money signifies not Caesar
only, not authority aud force only,
but the people themselves. 1t is we'll
that our country has led the world in
this matter, as is evinced by the praise
with which the new certificates have
been greeted by the artists of Europe.
