THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS.
4 Case In which the Condolences
Were Remarkable.

Were Remarkable
On an occasion during the civil war
| dreamed that | was standing beside
a road when there came marching
along it n strong column of prisoners,
with guards at intervals on the
TANKS. l asked one of these guards
who the prisoners were and where
they had been captured. He informed
me that they had been taken in an en-
gagement with the enemy on the
day before and that there were !, 900 of
them. l then asked some bystander
what day of the month it was and was
told that it was such n day of a certain
month, some six weeks later than the
date of the dream. The whole dream
was extremely distinct, and it made
strong impression on me. | related 1t
to n number of my comrades within
the next few days and then thought Of
1t no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning of
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the
column of prisoners had passed before
me, | was on picket two miles distant
from the point where l had seemed to
be when | saw them. 1t was soon aft
ar breakfast. ana | was standing by
the side OF the road at the fire talking
to the officer of the picket when an
Aid 10 the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been Il
sChoolfcllow of our officers at West
Point and refined up when he recOg
nized his friend. He told us that he
had good news. that there had been Il
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people had
captured 1000 prisoners, who had
just passed the headquarters that
morning on their way to the rear.-St.

A PAIR OF BIG FEET.
They Brought Woe to France and
Changed the Map of Europe.

Il
Changed the Map of Europe.
The Princess Bismarck changed the
political history of France unwittingly.
and but for her the Franco-Prussian
wal might never have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France.
but the Empress Eugene hoped with
her beauty TO influence him so that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and Iis wife to visit the court of
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
Tuileries.
That evening there was a grand re-
ception. and Eugene received the
guests in a gown which made her so
ravishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck. German. stolid and in love
with his wife. stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugene
was not slow to observe the effect of
her beauty upon him. She called him
TO her side, and bismarck came with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt and ugly, and her feet Were
generous. AS she walked she showed
great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck.
who was quick as n flash, followed the
glance of their eyes and saw them rest
upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The politi-
cal history of France was altered from
that moment.
A year later. when Paris was be-
sieged. Bismarck himself fired n can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were near him heard MIN snout:
Take that for the feet of the Prin-
cess Bismarckr
The slight was avenged.

TRAPDOOR SPIDERS.
The Curious Nests That These InEc-
NOUS Insects Construct.


y curious species of insect is the
trapdoor spider, whose nest consists of
a tube eXcavated in the earth to the
depth of six or eight inches. 1t is al
ways lined with silk, and it is closed
with an ingeniously constructed door
One sort of door closes into the nest
like Il cork in a bottle, another is as
thin as a piece of paper.
In all cases the door opens outward,
and when the nest is placed, as it usu-
ally is, on slopinS bank, it opens up
ward, so that there is no fear of its
gaping. The object of the trapdoor is
to conceal the nest, and consequently
it is always made to resemble the gen.
eral surface of the ground. Sometimes,
however, an enemy attempts to open
the door, and then the inmate braces
its legs against the sides of the nest
and holds it as fast as possible.
Still other spiders have inner doors
besides outer, so that'if their first de-
Tense be carried they may have anoth-
er behind which TO retreat. More curl
Gus still is the ingenuity of the branch
trapdoor-that is to say, a door that
opens from the main tunnel of the
nest into n side branch. which the
stranger could discover. since there is
nothing to distinguish it from any 9th
or part of the main nest. So, then, il
an enemy should effect an entrance
the lawful occupant of the nest can
quietly slip into the side branch, close
the door and there remain in security
while the intruder wonders what has
become of her.-Our Animal Friends.

OLNEY AND THE PRESIDENCY

The Hon. Richard Olney need not
get pulled up over the mention of his
name in connection with the presiden
cy because he will only have the trou-
BILE of letting himself down in the same
position from whence he started. The
Washington Post takes pretty much
the same view, for in commenting on
Olney, it says:
aside from the third term objec.
ton, the regular Democrats and their
allies would accept GroYer Cleveland
as cheerfully as Richard Olney. The
idea that they could be induced to ac-
cept either of them, or any other man
who bOlted their candidate and plat
form in 1896, is a fantastic absurdity.
If there were no such considerations
as principles and policies; if the only
object of party were to get offices it
would be possible to induce the men
who supported Bryan in 1896 to shout
and vote for Olney in 1900. But those
men stood for something more than
patronage. The strangely homogeneous
elements which made up that tremen-
dous aggregation believed in their
declaration of faith. Who has any
right to say OIL any reason to believe
that they have ceased to believe in it?
What has happened that encourages
the Commercial-Appeal to suggest the
possibility of transferring that grand
combination from Bryan and free
silver to Olney and the gold standard y
