A ProDii etic Dream.

The recent death of Rev. DR.. Charles
F. Allen of Maine recalls many anec-
dotes of this distinguished cler gyman.
One, which DR.. Allen greatly enjoyed
telling, concerned the fulfillment Of a
dream which came in boyhood to his
friend, the late Judge Charles Danforth,
a man universally beloved as wise
Judge and a good man.
1t seems that Judge Danforth and DR..
Allen were boys together at Norridge-
wock, Me- Charley Allen and Charley
Danforth were the best of friends, and
together often attended the sessions of
the supreme court at the old Norridge-
wock courthouse.
One morning Danforth, on his way
to school, told Allen Of singular dream
which he had the night before. He said:
81 dreamed that I was judge and was
holding court at the courthouse. 1t was
the first day of the court, and you came
in and opened the court with prayer.
You were minister.
Nearly so years after that morning,
when Judge Danforth was serving on
the bench of the supreme Judicial court
of Maine he was assigned to hold court
at Norridgewock, the home of his boy
hood. When he entered the courtroom
to open the court, he found that his old
friend, Rev. Dr. Allen, was to officiate
as clergyman at the opening of the
court. Immediately after the prayer
Judge Danforth, turning to Dr. Allen,
said, with twinkle in his eye
Charley, my dream has been full
filled. youths Companion.

CourhfnE In Church.

The following bitter cry is uttered by
a Scotch minister in his parish maya
zine. 1t expresses very aptly what many
have felt:
1 have been very much inconven-
fenced by the amount of coughing in
church recently. No one who has not
tried to speak in face of hot discharge
Of violent coughs can know the pain of
it, the despair of it. Coughing is real
annoyance to minister and congrega-
ton. In many cases it can be restrain
ed. In other cases, where one must
cough OF die, would suggest that the
coughs should be arranged to occur at
the beginning or end of prayer, at the
beginning or the divisions or the end OF
a discourse and not anywhere through
out these exercises. In every sermon
there are natural breaks or points OF
transition where, without distraction
to the minister or congregation, an ex-
plosion of coughs might be allowed to
occur. London Leader.

MORTARS FOR DEFENSE.
they Are Among the Most Terrible
Implements of Warfare.

The type of heavy breechloading
mortar relied upon by the army for in
ner line harbor defense is one of the
most terrible implements of war that
have been devised. The high powered
rifle is mounted in the coast defenses,
with an effective range of eight to ten
miles, and is calculated to open fire
upon blockading feet the moment it
comes within reach. The mortar battery
is concealed we'll away from the big
guns, where it cannot be reached ex-
cept accidentally by the fire of the enc
my, nor is this battery intended to be
brought into play until the rifles in the
main fortifcation have been completely
or partially silenced by the enemy.
The mortars have limited range Of
about AZ miles, and their tremendous
bursting charges are fired high in the
air, with the certainty of plunging into
any vessel occupying plotted position
upon chart which is in the possession
of officers equipped with range finders
of delicate precision, located at a con-
siderable distance from the concealed
battery. This chart is divided into mi
mute squares, and as the enemy's ships
cross the intersections of imaginary
lines the men handling the mortars, al
though they cannot see the vessels, aim,
load and discharge with the certainty
born of long practice that every shot
will tell.
These new mortars, of which 1000
are provided for in the existing scheme
of national coast defense, and of which
800 have already been mounted in posi-
tions commanding the entrances of the
principal harbors on the Atlantic coast,
fire 10 inch shell weighing 1000
pounds. This, following high trajec-
tory, is intended to fall upon the un-
armored decks of vessels, and, by ex-
ploding, demolish the machinery, de-
stroy the crew and perhaps sink the yes
sci. These weapons each weigh about 10
tons, are II feet inches long, and their
12 inch rifed bore is 10 feet in length.
Their greatest diameter at the breech
is 8 feet inches. This great mass
of metal is so nicely balanced that it
can be loaded, aimed and fired by two
men. The loading is performed by sim
pie mechanisms and with trained
gun company of six men one accurate
shot can be fired every two minutes.

A Sensible Queen.

One evening recently the queen OF
Italy, accompanied by her mother, the
Duchess of Genoa, witnessed one OF
Fregoli's performances, in the course of
which he carried cut the audacious idea
of initiating King Humbert to the
strains of the Royal March. F" AS usual,
Fregoli's imitation was so good that not
only the public but the queen and the
Duchess of Genoa also were convulsed
with laughter. The audience, recognize
ing her majesty's good sense, rose to it's
feet and gave her majesty an ovation
which must have been convincing
proof that the evening amusement had
not affected its loyalty.

"WhY do You cav that?"
4 Singular Statement.

The movement for the study Of the
Irish language in Ireland has met an
obstacle in the opposition of a number
of prominent Irish educators, among
whom are Dr.. Mahaffy and DR.. Atkin-
son, both of Dublin university. DR.. At
kinson is regarded as the greatest liv-
ing authority on the Irish language and
literature and might have been expect
ed to favor the proposed renascence. but
he takes the surprising ground that the
mass of extant Irish literature, includ-
ing the modern folklore is too indecent
for popular teaching.

WASHINGTON, April SO.-At this
time, when the evils CT the drink traffic
are being widely discussed and the
movement for the abolition of the de-
grading and brutalizing canteen in our
military camps is gaining many sup
porters, this sermon by DR.. Talmagc,
dealing with the broader aspects of the
plague of incompetence, should cheer
and inspire the friends CT temperance
everywhere. His text is Exodus xi, 6,
And there shall be a great cry
throughout all the land of Egypt. "
This was the worst of the ten plaques.
The destroying angel at midnight flap
ped his wing over the land. and there
was one dead in each house. Lamenta-
ton and mourning and woe through all
Egypt. That destroying angel has fled
the earth, but far worse has come.
He sweeps through these cities. 1t is
the destroying angel of strong drink.
Far worse devastation wrought by this
second than by the first. The calamity
in America worse than the calamity in
Egpyt. Thousands of the slain, millions
of the slain. No arithmetic can calcu-
late their number.
Once upon a time four fiends met in
the lost world. They resolved that the
people of our earth were too happy,
aud these four INTERVALS came forth to
our earth on embassy of mischief. The
one fiend said. "Ill take charge OF the
vineyards. Another said, iii take
charge of the grainfields. " Another
said. "I'll takc charge of the dairy.

The grapes were so ripe and beautiful
and luscious. They licwiic!ed the air
with their sweetness. There seemed to
be so much health in every bunch. and
while the fiend sat there in utter indiS-
nation and disappointment he clutched
a cluster and squeezed it in perfect
spite, and, 10! his hand was red with the
blood of the vineyard, and the fiend
said: "That reminds me of the blood of
broken hearts. I'll strip the vineyard,
and I'll squeeze out all the juice of the
grapes and I'll allow the juices of the
g1apes to stand until they rot, and I'll
call the process fermentation. . And
there was a great vat prepared, and
people came with their cups and their
pitchers, and they dipped up the blood
of the grapes, and they drank and drank
