A Case In which the Condolences
Were Remarkable.
On one occasion during the civil war
| dreamed that.I was standing beside
n road when there came marching
along It q strong column Of prisoners,
with guards mt Intervals on the hanks.
| 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 engagement
with the enemy on the day before and
that there were 1000 Of them. / then
asked some bystander what day OF the
month It was and was told 1t was such
a day OF certain month. some six
weeks later than the date Of the dream.
The whole dream was extremely ois-
tinct, and 1t made strong impression
on me. / related 1t to a number or my
comrades within the next few days
and then thought OF It no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning OK
the very day that had been mentioned
In the dream as the date when the col
umn of prisoners had passed. before
me, was on picket two miles distanv
from the point where / had seemed
to be when | saw them. 1t was soon
after breakfast, and i was standing
by the side of the road at the nre talk
ing 10 the officer of the picket when an
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been
schoolfellow of our officers at Wep
Point, and he refined up when he recog-
pized his friend. He told us that he
had good news; that there had been o
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people had
captured 1000 prisoners, who had Juss

"The current impression that China
men eat rats-I mean ordinary Amerl-
can rats-is all nonsense" said Dr..
James j. Mason, a well known Chi
nese missionary, chatting about his eX-
periences in the Flowery Kingdom.
"The truth in regard to it is this:
There is small animal in China
known colloquially as the tsui-chOw,
that Is often bred especially for food.
1t infests the riccfields, and Is about
the size Of an ordinary rat, but has a
longer body and head shaped some
thing like that OF a ferret. 1t is very
prolific creature and is sold in enor-
nous numbers in all the markets Of the
great cities-neatly cleaned and skew
cred apart and strung in punches OF

"The tsui-chow is strictly an edible
animal, and, feeding entirely on rice, it
naturally has very delicate and savory
flesh. | have eaten them, and if had
been able to get the rat idea out of my
mind would have relished the dish.
They taste something like young squir-
rels, and alive or dead are certainly
much less repulsive than many things
we commonly esteem as delicacies-
eels and frogs, for example"

John Hobbs never forgot that even

mitting himself by asking that ques-
ton he presumed he was expected to
ask, but in spite Of his uncomfortable
position and unenviable frame of mind
he found himself enjoying the music,
and could not but notice his compan-
ions attractive face and charm of
manner, and that her well bred COM
posure was enhanced by quiet mod
esty and seriousness of manner to
which he had been blind before.
Somehow John found himself saying
he would call on Sunday evening,
which he did, and really enjoyed the
companionship Of these two refined
women. This call was repeated sew
eral times during the following month,
and still John had not asked the ques-
ton, but on the contrary had begun
to wonder why he had not before no

word of explanation had passed be-

SOME SURE THINGS.
Bets to he Avoided by Those VIII
Never Tried the Fents.

Bets to he Avoided by Those Who
Never Tried the Feats.
Bets to be avoided by those who are
cocksure they can do all things are
those relating to athletic feats. 1t
would seem that good runner could
easily give a start of so yards In 100
to a man who was doing the 90 yards
by hopping on one leg. But few run
ners, II any, can afford to give that
amount of start to any man who is
at all strong on his legs. For the hrst
five yards or 30 they go ut practically
the same pace, SO that to run 30 yards
while his opponent is hopping 40 he
has to go more than twice as fast, and
It is n weak man indeed who cannot
hop 30 yards In ten seconds.
An ordinary wooden match Is easily
broken I'm the fingers, but, although
there are many who will bet they can
do II, none succeed In accomplishing
the task if the match is laid across the
nail of the middle finger Of either hand
and pressed upon by the first and third
fingers OF that hand, despite its SEEM
ing so easy at first sight.
No one can crush an egg placed
lengthwise between his clasped hands
that is, II the egg be sound and has
the ordinary shell Of hens egg.
IL Is safe to bet man that he cannot
get out OF chair without bending
his body forward or putting his feet
| under 1t, II he Is sitting on 1t, not at
the edge OF 1t.
Another equally certain wager 10
that n man cannot stand at the side
i OF room with both Of his feet touch
ing the wainscoting lengthwise.
1t Is safe to bet any man, save one
| who is blind, that he cannot stand
for five minutes without moving II

The Ensiishman's Only Comment

The Engiishman's Only Comment
When the Broncho Threw Him. -
Most Englishmen are considered
pretty fair horsemen, but when II
comes to riding q bucking broncho some
of them are not In or on 1t for long,"
said the owner Of large cattle ranch
in Wyoming to the writer the other
day. "For instance, a rich young Eng
lishman recently came out to my part
Of the country In quest OF some good
investment. He was at my ranch as
guest for a few days, and one after
noon as the cowboys were about to
round up bunch Of cow ponies the
young man said that he would enjoy o
good ride In the saddle. He said he
was used to riding only thoroughbreds,
and he didn't think we had q hors9
good enough for him. The boys con-
vinced him that they had one Of the
finest horses on the plains, and II he
knew how to ride he was welcome to
the animal. He was apparently In
suited when questioned about his abil-
ity to ride and answered that he could
ride any kind Of horse. A sleepy
looking broncho was accordingly
brought out from the corral and sad
died. Though the beast appeared half
dead, he was the worst bucker In the
herd.
"'Es lifeless,' said the foreigner
when the pony was brought to him.
The boys said the nag would wake up
after the first mile, and MILFORD got into
the saddle The first buck jump placed
him or the horses neck, and after the
second he was In the atmosphere. He
turned double somersault and land
ed on the sharp end of a cactus plant
When he picked himself up, one OF the
boys asked what he thought OF the
thoroughbred now. The question made
the Englishman turn pale.
"'E's n good 'oss,' he answered,
but he lopes too bloomin 'igh."-

The Soufriere, or sulphurous noun
tain, Is considered to be the greatest
natural curiosity Of st. Lucia, and, in
fact, Of the West Indlas. 1t Is situated
about half an hours ride from the
town Of Soufriere, to which it has
given It's name, and nearly two miles
to the east OF the Pitons, and is at the
foot of two small hills, both of which
are quite bare of vegetation on the
sides facing the crater. 1t covers a
space Of about three acres, and Is crust
ed over with sulphur and alum. There
are several caldrons in perpetual
state Of ebullition. The water Is quite
black in the larger ones, but in the
smaller ones 1t is quite clear. Visitors

DO ANITA PInntf

Ants are very industrious seed col
lectors, and may be seen tolling along
their paths laden with seeds, which
are stored up in granarles in the nest.
In the clear space round the nest there
is frequently a patch or patches Of a
peculiar kind Of grass that produces
seeds that are much sought after by
the ants. It has been said that the
ants make the clearing, and sow the
seed Of this grass on purpose to reap
the crop, but evidence is yet wanting
10 show that the grass Is intelllgently
sown and not accidentally. The fact
remains, however, that on or around
many nests there are crops Of the
grass, and that It is not destroyed like
other vegetation by the ants.

CEMENT REsERv Or AND MEASURING BOX.
lFor the collection Of water from pumping
plant.l
a short time, with the best results to
the land and the owner, the water
must be had with a certain volume, or
''head," as 1t is usually termed in ir-
rigated regions. A little rill from
spring which, II left to its course,
might make only a little sedgy strip
across q field or a marshy spot In
corner can be led to a small water
tight reservoir, and it will accumulate
until it has a volume which can be
spread over a considerable area or
ground and possibly increase produc-
ton the first year because of the irri-
CATION more than enough to pay the
cost of the reservoir which collected 1t.
Yet millions of such springs are allow
ed not only to waste themselves, but
destroy much good land unless drain
age intervene and the water only De
lost Only people who have learned
the value of irrigation can appreciate
the value of this waste and the ease
with which it can be turned to profit
A little spring which runs a gallon a
minute yields 14,4O0 gallons in ten
days. This is water enough, IL kept
from leakage and evaporation, to cover
half an acre Of ground to the depth OF
one inch, and the same volume flowing
continuously would be equal to an an
nual rainfall Of 36la inches for the
same area Thus n trickling stream
from q spring becomes measurable
factor In production, and from this
minimum flow and acreage one can
easily calculate what large flows viii
amount to, whether they come from
spring or windmill or other source.
Simply collect the water into recepta-
Gle Of known capacity and note the
time required to I'll II, and calculation
as to reservoir capacity needed and
the area which may be covered in the
distribution are easy. Allowance must
be made for approximate evaporation
from the surface of the water In the
reservoir. Further allowance must be
made for loss by leakage, which will
vary with the nature of the soil In
which the reservoir is constructed and
the manner Of construction.
An inch over the whole surface irri-
gated once in ten days or three inches
once month, according to the depth
and the receptive character Of the soil,
will insure against drought and In.
crease production even In a humid eli
mate while IN the arid region 1t will
establish an oasis OF fruits and vege-
tables in succession through the dry
season.
Obviously the small receiving and
distributing reservoir should be above
the highest point Of the land to be ir-
rlgated and below the source of the
water except with pumping outfits. The
| first thought in small affairs in billy
regions Is to initiate large undertake
| ings and dam the natural channel and
back the water in the small ravine
whence the stream flows. This Is often
wise perhaps, but 1t is also difficult to
escape loss Of seepage and to get sufii-
| Client capacity without too high Il dam,
and there Is such great danger OF
| washouts by excess Of storm water
that reservoir out Of the course OF
| the stream to which water may be
| conducted is better. In q coarse soil

SHORTHAND WRITING.

speed is by no means the most
necessary thing In shorthand writing"
explained an experienced stenogra-
pher, "but with some teachers 1t is
made the great consideration, often
at the expense of everything else. The
big thing in shorthand Is legibility,
for there are many who can write
fast enough, but who are unable to
tell what 1t means after Ii has grown
cold. / have been stenographer, de-
pending entirely on 1t for my living,
for % years. During that time have,
of course, picked up some knowledge
on the subject. l have been the
stenographer for two cabinet officers,
four assistant secretaries and three
or four senator's. Incidentally / have
worked for year as the private Sec
retary of one of the big bank presi-
dents In New York city.
"All of this experience has proven
one thing very conclusively, and that
is that there Is no necessity for any
stenographer who does amnnuensis
work to write over 120 words q min
ute and In 90 cases out of 100 no ne
cessity to write over 100 words min
ute. Indeed, l know Of at least 70
stenographers who are drawing the
largest kind Of salaries as private Sec
retaries who have assured me that
they have never been required to aver
age as much as 90 words. Under these
circumstances 1t seems strange that
some teachers of stenography Will ex
cite pupils to write $50 to 200 words
per minute and endeavor to make them
believe that such railroad speed IL
a necessity. Such practice does
actual injury, for 1t discourages many
from even learning moderate speed
"There have been instances where
It may have been necessary for stenog
raphers to be able to write over zoo
and more words a minute, and there is
a legend hanging about the senate
chamber that General Hawley, fol-
