About Drcanns.

A most singular feature of dreaming
is the extreme rapidity with which inn
ages and ideas come to mind A dream
which may appear to occupy hours in
passing often happens to be comprised
within few seconds. A gentleman
once dreamed of enlisting as a soldier,
joining his regiment in barrack-life,
and deserving. His capture and trial
followed, with condemnation to be
shot, and leading out to execution:
When the preparations were tardi1y
completed, a gun was fired. The REL
port awoke him, and he was surprised
to find noise in the next room had
at once created the dream and brought
its end.
The case is known of a gentleman
whose health was undermined by ex-
posture to damp, so that If he fell asleep
in reclining position he suffered a
sense of suffocation. At such times he
dreamed skeleton had firmly grasped
his throat. To escape such state of
torture, servant was put at his side
to awake him the moment he fell
asleep. But one night the skeleton
made fierce and prolonged attack ere
the slumber was broken. Yet when
the watcher was rebuked for allowing
so long dream, it appeared that 1t
had been but momentary, as the diroc.
lions had been obeyed to the letter.

SAW THE ELEPHANT.
The Young Man from Lille Didn't Stay
In Paris Long.


In Paris Long.
The adventure Of q young man Of
Lille who came to Paris to see the
car must have completely ruined his
appetite for such sights, says a corre-
spondent of the Boston Transcript.
After saving up his money for this
great occasion for spending it he start
ed off with about 300 francs in his
pocket. Deeply interested in all the
preparations that were being made for
the cars reception, he was walking on
the Boulevard des Italiens, when, to
his great dismay, a big, red-headed,
red-bearded man walked up to him
and said: II arrest you in the name Of
the law! The young man from Lille
gasped; "Why?" "You will learn why
at the prefecture Of police replied the
red-headed man, and, calling cab,
he bundled his submissive prisoner into
1t. The cabman was told to drive to
the prefecture. When the horse was
started the young man was ordered to
empty his pockets. He turned out his
money, his watch and his papers, all
OF which were carefully pocketed by
his unpleasant companion. The latter
now stopped the cab in front Of post
Office and said to the driver:
Il am a police commissary and ]
have Just arrested nihilist of whom
we have had information from Russia.
must send off telegram to announce
this important capture. You stand in
front OF the door and If the prisoner
tries to get away knock him on the
head with the butt end of your whip.
The wretch intended to assassinate the
czarw
"Ah, the canaille~ exclaimed the
cabman, as he took up his post as sen
tinei, and he continued to apply all the
abuse he could think of to the pale
faced prisoner, who was too frightened
to say a word. Half an hour passed in
this way and then the cabman began
to think 1t very strange that the red
haired commissary did not reappear.
His suspicion growing, he called the
police and it was soon discovered that
the young man from Lille had been
robbed by one of the many enterpris-
ing scoundrels who are now drawn to
Paris by the fetes in honor of the czar.
The unfortunate youth from Lille, hav-
ing lost all his money, could not re-
main in Paris even long enough to see
the car. He was sent home by the
police. His misadventure will be a
joke against him for the rest of his
life.

Tho Mandarln,s Jewels.

There was once mandarin who was
excessively fond of jewels, and always
walked abroad with his robe covered
with the sparkling gems, One day he
was accosted by an old bonze, who,
following him through the street,
bowed himself often 10 the ground and
thanked the mandarin for his jewels,
What does the man mean?" cried
the mandarin, in great alarm. Then,
addressing the bonze, he said, 81 never
gave you any jewels, mani"
"No," replied the bonze, "but you
havelet me look at them, and that is
all the use you can make of them your
self, SO there is no difference between
us, except that you have the trouble Of
guarding them, a task should not
care for. "-Harper's Round Table.

USES OF DEAD HORSES.

The tail and name are especially val
liable and from these are made the
hair cloth of commerce.
The leg bones are very hard and
white and are used for handles of
pocket and table cutlery.
The ribs and head are burned to make
bone black, after they have been treat
ed for the glue that is In them.
The phosphate of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for lucifer
matches.
The short hair taken from the hide
is used to stuff cushions and horse col
lars; thus the dead are made to minis
ter to the comfort Of the living.
There is an animal oil yielded in the
cooking process which is deadly poi
son, and enters into the composition OF
many insecticides and vermifuges.
The hide furnishes waterproof
leather known to the trade as cordo-
van, anu 10 u5Su lol INC manufacture
of high-class hunting and wading boots.
In the calcining of horses bones the
vapors arising are condensed and form
the chief source Of carbonate of ammo
mr., which constitutes the base Of near
ly al ammoniacal salts.
The. hoofs of the animal are removed
and after being boiled to extract the
oil from them the horny substance is
shipped to the manufacturers of combs
and what are known as Mikado goods
The bones to make glue are dissolved
in murlatic acid, which takes the phos-
phate of lime away, the soft element
retaining the shape of the bone is dis
solved in boiling wate... cast into
squares and dried on nets.

nIanicurIng.

Amateurs are usually astonished to
find that manicuring is so simple, and
that the following directions suffice:
Pour some warm water in bowl, un-
fold small towel and lay it on one
knee; take the right hand and proceed
to cut the nails in a semi-circle; then
file the edges, and steep the right hand
in the water; then take the left hand
and steep it in its turn. Having care
fully dried the hands, push down the
skin around the base of the nails with
an ivory instrument; brush the nails
over with some red pomade, wipe them
off, and then polish them with plain
chamois-covered pad, rather small in
size, using particularly the polishing
powder, till they shine. Then, to
crown all, sprinkle on the hands and
wrists and rub in some deliciously
scented sue de camelia, which will at
once make the skin look white, smooth
and soft.

EIoctrIcIty Dangerous 20 Flremep,

At recent iire in the basement Of
Chicago electric power house, the FIRE
men had great trouble in getting at
the blaze They had to chop holes in
the floor OF the dynamo room before
they could get stream on the blazing
pile of waste. Not waiting for the
dynamos TO be shut down, they crept
through the black smoke and turned a
stream on the flames. In an instant
they were flung to the ground with
great violence and the hose was sent
flying into the air A heavy current
had passed along the stream and had
shocked them. Though unconscious
when rescued, they quickly recovered.

WIN a widow Gets No PensIon.

Mrs. Jane SGreamer, living near
PawhuslSa, Okla, applied for widows
pension last summer and has just re-
ceived notice that her husband is alive
and drawing pension. She says she
helped bury her husband, who was
killed in battle in1S64, the burial TAX
ing place near Terre Haute, Ind, and
will ask the department to determine
whether there was a mistake then,
and she can be reunited with one so
long mourned as dead, or whether
someone has fraudulently imperson-
ated the dead man.
