DREAMS THAT CAME TRUE.
Two BewilderinG Cases That Cannot Iss
Explained ae Condolences.

Explained NJ Condolences.
Speaking OF dreams that come true,
few days ago the newspapers pub
llshed a strange but trustworthy story
OF Mrs. Malloney,of West New York,
N. j. In dream she saw her son
caught under the wheels of railway
train. The vision was so vivid, it so
wrought upon her that she rushed out
into the night to the railway and there,
crushed to death on the track, found
the body of her son.
When 1 read this incident it recalled
one of similar tenor, but more re.
malkable, which was related to me by
prominent lady Of this city, who
spends much of her time abroad. "a
few years ago." she said, II was tar
rying few weeks in Paris, accom-
panied by my maid, who had been in
my service many years One morning
she came to me with her eyes red
with weeping, and asked her what
the trouble was. She replied that her
mother had died the night previous,
In Philadelphia. How can you know
thatT said 1. During the night she
explained, my mother appeared to Inc

In dreams promised that in order to
convince her that her mother was
alive, would send cable inquiry to
Philadelphia did so, and the reply
came that her mother was alive and
well a few months later we re-
turned to America, and, leaving me in
New York, my maid went ever to
Philadelphia to see her people. And
what think you she discovered? Why,
she discovered that her mother had
died on the identical night of her
dream, and that when she felt that
her end was approaching she made
her family promise they would not let
her daughter in Paris know of her
death. I'll tell her myself said the
mother, but II you cable her or write
her she may leave her employer and

Admiral Dewey does not agree with
Lord Wolseley that the Chinese,
aroused and educated in the arts OF
war as practiced in Europe and
America, might eventually expel every
white man from Asia and overrun the
world. 1t was ten years ago that Lord
Wolselcy gave that opinion. Japans
easy victory over China has since cc-
cured. For several hundred years
the Occident has been worrying from
time to time about the "yellow peril"
Nothing has happened as yet to change
the opinion expressed by disinterested
md acute travellers in China that the
Chinese are q weak, inert, industrious
people, incapable of great concerted
activities.

The industrial progress Of the South
is indicated by some recently reported
incidents in North Carolina. A Fan
who has been living on small farm.
almost crushed with debts, went into a
cooton mill with five of his children,
and in five years earned and sGvei'
enough money to pay off all his debts
md to buy another farm of eighty
acres. Another poor farmer went into
a cotton mill with seven of his chill
dren, and in four years was able to
pay off the mortgage that had bur-
dened him, to buy another farm of a
hundred acres, and still have money
left In the bank. f$~

Count Tolstoy has been giving his
views on the ethics of suicide, which
he declares to be neither sensible nor
moral. Life, says Count Tolstoy, has
not only been given us for our pleas
ure. but for our personal perfection,
and to serve general welfare. All
work appears in the beginning disa-
greeable. Life has been granted to
man on condition that he serves the
general universal good, and not that
he only makes use Of his life as long
as it is personally agreeable to him.

The New York Sun says: "a long
harvest of wounds and death, most of
them in the horrible form Of lockjaw,
Is now being reaped from the use of
the toy pistol on the Fourth of July.
Many of these wounds were from pis-
tolls meant for the use Of blank car
tridges, while others were from the
toy pistol, pure and simple. The use
of these pistols on the Fourth, or at
any other time, is prohibited in some
of the cities of our country. The pro-
hibition ought to be general. The toy
pistol is deadly toy. 1t ought to be
suppressed in New York City and
elsewhere"

The city of GAINESVILLE, Wis, has just
made an interesting experiment in free
telephone service. A few months ago
n local company was prevailed upon
to establish two free stations in the
business portion of the town, and the
City Council passed an ordinance pro-
tecting them from vandalism, as they
do fire alarm boxes. At first the
booths We're used constantly and be.
came very popular, but the other day
they had to be closed owing to their
abuse by some mischievous members
of the community. Not only were the
telephones recklessly handled and
used without reason. but the booths
and the Instruments were injured.
Th"- 'hc experiment came to nothing.

judgment.
 In regard to forest protection he said:
 "We have had but half as many fires this year as last, which shows the etfec. tiveness of maintaining forest reserve patrol. Forest protection is being given more attention by the Interior Department than any other subject re- lating to the public lands. The theory involved is not only the preservation of the timber until the trees reach maturity. but to use the timber for all necessary purposes. Forestry is also designed as means for conserving the water courses. The latter object is. perhaps, the most important to the people of California. The department has never before been SO liberal in ex- pending public money for the preven- tiOn and extinguishment of fires as dur ing the present season.
 "The forestry officers are directed to report immediately any necessary aid for the fire patrol. It is necessary that We have corp of men educated in fighting fires, but when they under- stand the system their work is very eff. ficient. It is almost beyond the power of man to prevent fires. but they can be reduced to the minimum and be extin- guished promptly"

The Foreign Hop Situation.

The indications OF a large crop OF hops
on the English plantations have been
greatly diminished by terrific gale

cipal hop growing counties recently.
Wherever the hops got the full force OF
the gale the burr was damaged and re-
duced to little hard knots of green which
cannot grow out under the most favor.
able conditious. Some trouble is also
experienced with mold due to unfavor
able weather. In Surrey it is estimated
that the crop will be less than half o.
that of last year. The Kentish Obser'
yer states that the Worcester hops have
improved in the last two weeks due to
the warm sunny DAYS they have had but
the yield will be small. The Worcesters
left in the growers hands are firmly held
for more money but there s very little
trade in that market.

life. No other subjects in the public
school curriculum have higher educa
tional and culture value when properly
taught. The board of education feels
gratified in being able to offer the DO, S

our city instruction in music and draw
ing by real artists who will give portion
oil their time each day to the work. In
structioD in drawing will be cor fined TO
the grades, while music will be ex,endt d

Next week we shall have something TO
cay about the new course Of study for
the grades and high school, now under
consideration by the board. A list of
the new text books for each grade with
prices will be given the public that ex-
change may go forward at once.
