A Dream Story.

In November, 1893, awoke one morning fully impressed with the idea that l was receiving as a gift an un- usually large gypsy ring set with sin gle sapphire with a brilliant on each side. The dream was a pleasant one to the female mind, and I soon fell asleep again, but only to awake with n still stronger impression that the jewel was actually In my hands. So curious were my sensations that on my maid entering my room at o'clock I told her of the two dreams, most minutely describing the ring, and I also asked my husband to bear witness to the statement should anything follow te confirm the dream.
 Two hours later the postman arrived. and so great were my excitement and astonishment at seeing a small, neatly done up packet (evidently ring easel that dare scarcely open 1t and decid- ed to ask my maid to do so Before breaking the seal asked her to repeat the description of the ring that I had previously given her, and then the lit tie packet was opened, and the joyful exclamation followed, Why, my lady, here 1t is" The ring was sent to mc by friend in memory of his wife, who had died some months before, but l the recipient of any souvenir of her,
 nor did ever see her wearing the ring in question.-Spectator.

Queer Creatures.

There are microscopic creatures which live in roof gutters and on the bark of trees and are known as water bears and wheel animalcul@. If allow ed to dry up under the microscope. they can be seen to shrivel into shapeless masses, which may be kept for years uninjured in the dried state.
 On being placed after this long inter- val in water they gradually plump up, resume their proper shape and move about in search of food just as If noth- ing had happened. Much the same Is true for the minute worms which from the substances in which they live are known as paste and vinegar cells. Well known is the famous case of the desert snail. which. retracted into its shell, was fastened to tablet in the British museum and showed no sign of life for seven years, when one morning 1t was found crawling hungrily about the glass case that formed its prison.

then tried to raise the lid with his paw.
 How I trembled! But, thank heaven, the great paw would rot go in the mar row creyice, and 1 held the cover fast by clinging to the inner part of the lock with all the strength of despera- ton. All he could do was to stretch out his tongue and lick my fingers un- til they bled as if they had been scratched by saw. And then, as he tasted blood and heard Lolita cry-for my poor darling was just as frightened as I was-his eagerness increased, and he began to utter piercing yells, which sent icy chills over me.
 I wonder why the fright did not kill me, but the touch of Lolita's little arm around my neck seemed to keep up my courage.
 Still the worst was yet to come.
 When the jaguar found that he could not reach me from below, he spras-g upon the chest. His huge weight crushed my fingers between the two parts of the lock. Then I thought all was over and shrieked so that my cries
 
 But my cries were presently answer cd by sound which made my heart throb with joy-answered by the bark ing of our bloodhound. The jaguar heard it, too, for he sprang dawn and stood for moment listening, then ran to the door as if to flee.
 Again came the sound of the dogs bark = this time nearer and at the same time the voices of men calling to each other. Contrary to expectation, they were already coming back.
 Meanwhile the jaguar seemed to be bewildered and ran wildly to and fro. Suddenly loud cry came from one of the windows, followed by two shots and fearful howl; then my husbands voice anxiously called:
 "Cachita, where are youP
 I had just strength enough left to get out of the chest drag myself to the door and let my husband in. Then I swooned away.
 They told me afterward that our bloodhound found the Jaguars trail, leading straight back to the house, and they all hurried home at full speed, fearing harm would come to me.
 My husband and Jose came in front of the rest and shot the jaguar through the window, but my husband told me that when he saw the animal in the house he felt as if stif1ed
 I could not move joint of that hand for many weeks afterward. The Indi. ans gave me medicine to heal it. and they say that after awhile I shall be able to use 1t again. I did not need this injury to make me remember that day. If I were to live thousand years, I could not forget the few terrible mo- ments that l spent in the chest-mo- ments that seemed to comprise an eter- nity of terror.

At the battle of Omdurman a soldier belonging to a Scotch regiment was nearly killed by bullet which struck the ground just In front of him while he was firing in a reclining position. On rising to move a few feet forward, something came down his sleeve. It was the bullet. How 1t got up his sleeve without inhicting damage can only be accounted. for by the fact that 1t must have been spent by the time it struck the ground in front of him and the course of it's flight up his sleeve was its last billet.

CANAAN, CONN. THURSDAY

m connection with tae forest reserves m cnarge of the bureau of forestry.
 The president continues by tracing the eonnee. tion between the forest reserves and the water supply.
 The forests alone cannot. however. fully regu- late and conserve the waters of the arid region. Great storage works are necessary to eaualize the flow of streams and to save the flood waters Their construction has been conclusiyely shown to be an undertaking too vast for private effort Nor can it be best accomplished by the ind 'ual states acting alone. The government should con. struct and maintain these reservoirs 1t does other public works.
 The reclamation of the unsettled arid public lands presents a different problem. Here 1t Is not enough to regulate tAe flow of streams. The object of the government fs to dispose of the land to settlers who will build homes upon it. To ac. compish this object water must be brought within their reach.
 There are vast areas of public land which can be ma 1e available for homestead settlement, but only by reservoirs and main line canals imptact cable for private enterprise These irrigation works should be built by the national government The lands reclaimed by them should be reserved by the government for actual settlers, and the cost of construction should, far possible be repaid by the landreclamed.
 Inslfar Problems.
 Insular questions are next treated. In Hawaii OUT aim must be to develop the territory on the traditional American lines. Porto Rico is de elared to be thriving never before. The attcn tion of congress is called 70 the need of legisla ton concerning the islands public lands. In Cuba it is stated that much progress has been made toward putting the independent govern. ment of the island upon a firm footing, and it Is declared that independence will be an accom- plished fact. The president especially urges re. duction in tariffs on Cuban imports into the United States.
 In dealing with the Philippine people must show both patience and strength, torbearanee and steadfast resolution Our aim Is high. We do not desire 10 do for the islanders merely what has elsewhere been done for tropic peoples by even the best foreign governments. We hope 10 do for them what has never before been done fol any people of the tropics--to make them tit for self government after the fashion of the really free nations
 The only fear is lest in our overanxiety We give them degree of independence for which they unfit, thereby inviting reaction and disaster.
 The president declares that the time has come for additional legislation for the Philippines. He says that the congress should pass laws by which the resources Of the islands can be developed SO that franchises (for limited terms of years) can be granted companies doing business in them and every encouragement be given to the incom. ing of business of every kind It is urgently necessary to enact suitable laws dealing with gen eral transportation, mining. banking, currency, homesteads and the use and ownership of tie lands and timber.
