A PLUM-PUDDING Coincidence.
rom The London Spectator.

From The London Spectator.
In the French weekly paper. LES Annales
Politque ct Litteraire" of March ~. ~ Camille
FIammarion in one of series Of articl les on
psychical problems gives this story Of comet
dences: "The poet Emile Deschamps =.
tells that when he was at school at Orleans he
happened one day to dine with M De Font-
gibu. a refugee who had lately returned from
England and he there tested some plum pud-
ding. then almost unknown dish IN Franco.
The memory of this gradually fading when
one day. ten years after, passing a restaurant
on the Boulevard Poissonniere. he caught sight
of a delicious looking plum pudding de went
in and asked for some, but was told that II had
lust been sold. The shopwoman saw that ne
looked disappointed. and said: M. DE Font
gibu, would you be so very kind as to let this
gentleman have part of your plum pudding
He then recognized NJ De FontgiDu in the, n.y.
die aged man in a coloners uniform, who was
sitting eating at table near, and VINO cour'e-
ously offered him some pudding.
Many years passed without his coming across
either plum pudding or NJ De Fontgibu, when
one day Deschamps was invited to dinner party
TO eat a real English plum pudding. He accept
ed and laughngy told his hostess that NJ De
Fontgibu would certainly be of the party telling
her his reason for saying this. me day c%atle' %
Ten guests filled the ten places lald for theh,
and there was a magnificent plum pudding on
the table. They were beginning to laugh at ms
NJ. De Fontgibu, when the door was opened anu
the servant announced M De Fontgibu.' and an
old man came in walking with dttculty and
helped by a servant. He walked slowly round
the table evidently looking for some one ana
seemed quite bewildered. Was this an appar,-
ton or q joke? 1t was the time OF the carnival,
and Deschamps thought at first that 1t was a
hoax but when the old man came up to him he
saw that it certainly was NJ. De Fontgibu. His
hair stood on end Don Juan in MozartS mas
terpiece could not have been more terrified by
the guest OF stone. 1t was all explained, how
ever NJ De Fontgbu was dining with some
people in the same house, and had mistaken the
door This series of condolences is so surprising
that one can understand Deschamps saying.
when he told this startling story: Plum pud-
ding has into my life three times, and
has NJ. De FOntgibu Why is this? II ii hap

SLEEPING AND WAKING.

Jane Barlow, in The Athenaum. .. .ty
She said to herself-'twas girl ranging plea

Her eyes sudden bright at sweet ianchS .DS-
cause she was young.
And in singing heard many an ecno OF strains
never sunG, 80,
And saw past dim eve dewy rose-fires OF dawn
upon dawn at..
She said to herself Of a while: PITY tits to be
sleeping,
Since sumber brings shadow and silence, though
softly it fall.
What are dreams? Ne'er an hour Of my day
would 1 change for them all
For how could she know her delight lay ~ one
dreams keeping?
She will say to hersef-an old woman Just
creeping about.
Half adrowse as the flies be that stir in wlntry
sun, .
With the singing not heard any more, and the
good days all done,
And joy from her heart and the light from her
eyes, ebbed out
She will say to herself of while: "Pity It's to
be waking.
For weary this clamorous world to the lonely
and old.
Better dream so a wrath OF their lost they may
haply behold"
For what could she tell of the dream beyond
sumbers breaking?
Yet one Of her days, when they darken bereft
of a geam,
Ili-omened with hauntings of fear, by the last
hope forsaken.
II the old old woman should sleep and the girl
should awaken.
Where desire of all hearts dwelleth deep in a
dream of the Dream?

."Sketch Of Contents There is space for the

this preface, "t not nfrequently happens that

that afflicted reader Books | Have Read" is
plainly boon. With a hot passion for lltera-

Hotels and Cottages Destroyed Along
 the south Carolina Coast-A Large Schooner Ashore on Delaware Capex-Reports From Other Points.

Newborn, N. C.. Nov. IA hurricane passed through this section Monday night. The tide was two feet higher than ever before. Small boats were thrown into the public streets. At mid night the hrcmen fought fire from lime barrels catching fire in the water. Many tons of salt and sugar in bags melted and ran into the river. Eight sawmills are shut down, and the river is full of float ing cotton.
 The trestle and track of the Whining ton Sea Coast railroad, aggregating in extent about three miles. are wrecked and the damage is conservatively esrf- mated at from S40.000 to $5o,0O0. At Wrightsville Sound, os the main line, about one mile this side of the beach, considerable damage was also done. and this is estimated at several thousand.
 At Carolina Beach. near the mouth of the river, there are about 2 cottages, boat and club houses and also a large hotel About IS of these were totally de- stroyed and those remaining badly dam aged. The loss is placed at from S12, 900 to S15,oOo. Both places were fortunate ly deserted on account of the season.

 Then the president bade them look and, blowing out his cheeks, he slyly turned the switch, blew. and out went the light. The Boers were amazed. and as they left the buildings one of them. who had been more obeervant than the rest. remarked;

MOSS EXAMINES TRACY.
Former Ramapo President Before
 MaHet Committee.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Mazet investi- gating committee resumed its hearings yesterday. General Benjamin F. Tracy was the chief witness called, and he was examined by Counsel Moss, Committee man Hoffman and President Grout of the borough of Brooklyn.
 General Tracy said in answer to Mir. Moss questions that he had been con nected with the Ramapo Water company since 1887; that he was its president in 1895 and that he had never received any compensation except $50 shares of stock, which he had since sold. Among other reasons he gave for resigning the office of president of the company was that he felt that no company would advance the necessary capital to develop it so long as one man. Mir. Lamont, who had induced him to become q shareholder, retained control.
 General Tracy testified that neither Senator Platt. former Governor Morton nor any member of the firm of Tracy, Boardman X Platt had ever been a stock holder in the Ramapo company.
