Judge Gerald's Presentment.

Judge G.. B. Gerald, of Waco, who
was recently visitor to the city, tells
an interesting story of presentment
of death and the happy denor roment,
the particulars dating back to one Of
the most fiercely contested engage
ments of the late civil war.
"Scme years before the war had a
DREAM" said the Judge. II dreamt
that was participant in fierce bat
tie between two great armies. The
picture of the battle was very vivid.
The two armies occupied opposite
sides of q stream, with towering, snow
capped mountains in the rear of each.
They moved toward each other and
the conflict began. In my dream I
could see the batteries, planted on the
opposite heights, belohing forth death,
while the infantry struggled for mas
terry on the plains below. I could see
the smoke and hear the ahouts and
din of the terrible conflict as it pro-
gressed. could see myself moving
forward in line, when suddenly both
saw and felt myself struck by bullet,
which ended my part in the struggle
and closed my earthly career forever.
1 saw myself die on the field Of car
mage without groan or struggle.
But awoke aud was gls i, because
it was all dream.
"On the morning of the 18th of De.
cember, 1863, the two armies Of Lee
and Burnside were facing each other
at Fredericksburg.
"As We marched to the conflict, and
the early morning mist cleared up, I
saw two armies in the valley, with o
narrow stream aowing between.
lifted up my eyes and there were tow
ering mountains behind each army,
and they were snow-capped.
1T was the reality Of My dream Of
years before in al. it's details. There
could be no mistaking the soene-it
had been iudelibly impressed on my
memory.

set that day I would be stretched q

Birds Are Like Human Beings

Canaries, like human beings, vary
very much in character, some cocks be-
ing so Indifferent and idle that they
will let the hen do all the work of
building and rearing, while they them
selves sit and plume their feathers.
Others, again, are perfect gentlemen in
their manners, waiting on the hen with
quiet courtesy and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving in a quiet, modest
way, attending to their young ones
with regularity, while others are in
constant state of chatter with their
husbands, pecking and arguing with
them every time they go near. Thus
we see that these little birds have their
tiffs and domestic quarrels. not unlike

Washington, Jan. 31.-H. G. Leavitt,
representing the beet sugar interests
of Nebraska and the west, and James
D. Hill, representing the cane sugar
industry of Louisiana, had a confer
ence with the president yesterday in
regard to the proposed reduction in
the duties on Cuban sugar. They say,
in substance. that they quite agreed
with the president in his desire to rem
der aid to Cuba in every proper way,
but they protested against sacrificing
the interests of the sugar industry of
this country that Cuba might be bene-
flied. The president, it was stated,
said that he was very much interested
in building up the industries of Cuba
when this could be done with only a
minimum loss to this country.

ItaIy's Marriage Brokers.

Marriage brokers are a regular insti-
tuition in Italy. In Genoa there are sew
eral marriage brokers who have pock-
etbooks filled with the names of the
marriageable girls of the different
classes, with notes of their figures, per-
sonal attractions, fortune and other cir
cumstances. These brokers go about
endeavoring to arrange matrimonial al
liances in the same otfhand mercantile
manner which they would bring to
bear upon a purely business transac-
tion. and when they succeed they get
commission of 2 or 3 per cent upon the
dowry, with such extras of bonuses as
may be voluntarily bestowed by the
party.

The Power of Illustration In the

James Russell Lowell said, There's

looking mule" If the statement had
been, There's a good deal of obstinacy
covered by apparent amia bility," the re-
mark might have passed without mo-
ment's notice, but attached to such a
figure as the poet used it will be diff
cult for the mind ever to get rid of it.
Mazzini says. Labor is the divine
more than commonplace, but when he
added, "Repose is desertion and sui
cide," the commonplace was transfig-
ured into a memorable illustration.
A French writer said, "The really eff

crowd his day with work" That seems
to be forgettable. When he adds, HE
will saunter to his task surrounded by
wide halo of ease and LEISURE the
halo serves the purpose of an explana,

When Lavater said, "Habit is alto

Lithium, worth more than $1,1OO a

salts being valuable in rheumatic at

Tungsten, worth 80 cents pound, ia

to steel qualities similar to those i'm
parted by molybdenum.
Molybdenum, worth $1.44 pound, is
used in metallurgy. Molybdenum steel
possesses the rare quality of preserv-
ing its hardness even when heated to
redness.
Selenium, which has the curious prop
erty of losing its resistance to the cleo

light, is used in the telelectroscope and

Uranium, worth $3.50 pound, is used
in the glass and porcelain industries.
1t has been found that uranium car
bide is superior to nickel or tungsten

Palladium, which has the smallest
coefticient of dilatation, is used for the
mounting of astronomical instruments.

of palladium. The pure metal costs

Vanadium oXidizes in air with great

when speaking in whispers. On this
fact a method of treatment has been
advocated, which is as follows: For the

This will allow rest to the voice and
constitutes the preliminary stage of
treatment. During the next ten days
speaking is permissible in the whisper
ing voice, and in the course Of the next
