The Trials Of tho Car.

1t is certain that the car cannot pos
sess his fathers iron constitution, and
certain, too that he is and if the pres
ent system enduTes he must remain
terribly ovCrworked. II is not enly that
he must do work, scdentary work with
papers, for eight on ten hours day,
like an English barrister on physician
in great practice, but that the kind OF
work is so exhausting to the nerves It
is bad enough to be viceroy of India,
with 200 or 500 executive orders 70 sign
in a week, 10 per cent of which may
make or rcarly ruin individuals, but

much harm bv immutablc laws, customs

Of law, cannot in numerous cases be
dispensed with, and in others almost as
numerous affects great interests, great
political movements or the fate of per
sons to whom enormous powers are nec-
essarily inuusted.
Every such order requires an effort Of
the mind People talk Of autocrats as if
they were necessarily demons, but in
reality they are men of business, harsh
or gentle as temperament may incline,
but still most anxious that their policy
or administration or special fad should
succeed and increase either the dignity
or the happiness Of the empire they are
set to rule. 1t is almost impossible for
a man in weak health to fiji such post

REVEALED lN A DREAM.
A Vision OF Cold Mine That Ia Reality
Came 60 Pass.

NatAc 70 lt4ess
To dream of q gold mine in dist1nt
part of the country aud from such data
to locate the claim among hundreds OF
others is a piece of lack that the Oldest
prospector would hardly dare TO hope
for.
Yet woman living 200 miles from
that FL Dorado known to the outcr world
as Cripple Greek, following the dictates
Of a seven times repeated vision. has
succeeded in doing this very thing, and
is today operating one of the most sue
ccssful mines in the whole district
Seven consecutive times did Mrs
Law dream Of the same place. In each
vision appeared a tall pine, towering
above the surrounding forest, and 4 deep
rayine, with a stream Of silvory water
winding through it, deep sunk between
two mountains. These mountains sccm-
ed characteristic Of the country. They
were abrupt peaks rising high above the
surrounding foothills, outlined gray and
cold against a bright blue sky. But
what mountains they were, or what di-
rection TO take TO find them, Mrs. Law
had 10 idea
A pleasure journey took her through
Colorado. The way was long, and the
trip across the seemingly eternal fat
lands had become almost intolerable,
when suddenly, as the train was entering
the foothills, as the glanced through
the car window, there arose before her
astonished gaze, clear and distinct
against the blue Colorado sky, the fa-
miliar twin mountains Of her vision. AS
the train pursued'its sinuous way there
appeared before her waking eyes the
valley which she had seen so often in
sleep, and through the center flowed the
silvory belt Of water which had become
so familiar.
"'Tis the land Of my dreams, my II
Dcrador' exclaimed Mrs Law. "Gold
is there, and know it. " Her oxclama-
tions excited some comment among the
passengers but no one thought seriously
about it. But some weeks later Mrs.
Law, accompanied by two friends and
! her husband-who had ceased TO bC
skcptical-appeared on a blackboard IN
the vicinity Of what is now The outskiIt.
of Cripple Creek, and with a determine

Planking fish is, as q rule, confined
TO clubhouses, where large, open fires
are accessible, but Mrs. 8. T. Rorer, in
The Ladies' Home Journal tells how
planlIed fish may be served TO perfection
in the smallest and most modest home in
America. "The peculiar flavor impaired
by he heating plank makes the fish more
delicious than when cooked in any other
way If one has gas stove, the mcthod
is quite simple, but the oven Of a coal
range may also be used with success
Secure a two inch plank the size Of the
oven, made from hand wood, oak or
hickory. When ready TO use, put it in
the oven until it is so hot that you cam
not bear your hand on it for an instant.
Have the fish split down the back Put
it, skin down, on the hot plank. Dust
with salt and pepper and baste with
melted butter. In an ordinary coal
stove, put :t on the oven bottom, close
the oven door and bake for 30 minutes,
basting two OF three times When the
fish is dcuo. take it from tho oven, gar

it 10 the table ola the plank, placed on
