In the London Mirror OF Literature
Tor June, 1874. there Is an account of
dream that was remarkable in many
respects. IL Is given upon the author
iy or clergyman OF the Church OF
England. the Rev. Mr.. Alexander, who
speaks from personal knowledge of
some OF the facts. IL appears That a
young man OF good reputation. named
Horrocks. was found robbed and muir
dered- His head had been beaten In
apparently with bludgeons. A vIgilans
search was made for the assassin and
AFTER several months abandoned. no
ciew to the crime having been dIscov-
cred One night a gentleman who had
been well acquainted with Horrocks
awoke and told his wife that he had
had dream I'm which be had been as.
sured that one Samuel Longsmith OF
Bolton was the murderer.
Longsmith lived some twenty miles
away and was person whom the
dreamer had met but once or twice
His wife told him to think no more
about IL. but to go TO sleep. A second
time he awoke from the effects Of the
same dream and announced his reso.
luton TO take steps the following morn.
Ing to see what could come OF Il. Ac.
cordingly be went TO Bolton the next
day and sought a warrant for the mr..
rest OF Longsmith. The magistrates
however. refused 10 grant It upon sucll
evidence. Passing through the market
place. he met Longsmith and Invited
him TO go TO public house to hear
something be had to communicate 10
him. There. locking the door. he
charged him with the crime. Long.
smith was staggered and family de
MED the accusation. In his confusion
he said he was innocent. for he did
not strike the blow.
Then you know the man who did. -
replied the accuser. and LOngsmitb
was arrested and examined. He pre-
varicated at the examination and was
remanded for three days. At the end
OF that time and after many hours
prayer he confessed that he had been
Induced to join three men in a robbing
expedition. when. meeting Horrocks
who made some resistance. his three
companions murdered him. This con
fession came out before the grand Jury
and Longsmith was brought TO trial
The fact OF the dream was not offered
In evidence, but other testimony suf
hcient TO convict him was produced
a few days before the execution ne
made a full acknowledgment OF his
guilt.

The Polite Porter.

There is a large town on the North
boasts itself as possessing the most pO-
lite porterS on the system. Everything
is relative. Recently Il lady having Sc
cured a porter ut this station told him
after her small luggage had been re-
moved from the carriage 10 get the
rest OF IT from the van.
He returned presently empty handed
with the observation: beg pardon
ma'am, but we're a liar. There's name
OF in the van"
In the south a similar official would
have said. III it's I'm the world I'll get

Malay Peninsula Diet.

probably the most varied diet in
the world" said traveller who had
just returned from the Malay PENN
sula. lis that Of the Jakuns of the Sea,
or Orang Lauts. who are the real Ma
lay pirates. These people have about
oil that there is TO eat and they eat
everything as IL comes along. AL
though they have all kinds of fine
fruits, at certain times OF the year they
eat yam which is so poisonous that
they have to CRATE IL and mix It with
slaked lime before they dare swallow
It, In the way OF flesh they eat mon
keys. deer. wild pig. birds. fish. porcu-
pines, lizards, squirrels. rats. mice and
snakes. And they seem to turn from
venison TO rat or from wild pig TO
snake with equal appetite

Meccn and Lam.

Mecca is the only remaining parallel
TO Lassa. The former city still
shrouds itself in n veil OF mystery.
Burckhardt, and later Sir Richard Bur
ton, carrying their lives in their hands,
lived in this city, the latter mingling
unobserved with its inhabitants and
taking part in religious rites with its
pilgrims Both Mecca and Lassa have
many points OF interest in common.
Each respectively Is point of pill
grimage for converts TO the two great
religions OF the east-Mohammelanism
and Buddhism. the one as the birth
place Of Mohammed receiving 100000
pilgrims annually. Both contain Won
derful temples. and both. behind their
closed gates, have also been centers OF
indescribable filth. squalOr and vice.

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did aot amount TO
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today i, is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of job print
ing crowded and the type jammed
too close together, with dirty-loOking
INK and finger marks smeared over
it, on low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak well for the firm which uses it.
In fact, YOU don't have the same
opinion of that place rs you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the best
grade of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. tits
therefore duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.

THE TWO HEADED SNAKE.

a BOa Constructor That Has n Very
Deceptive Tail.
Every now and then some traveller
tells of q two headed snake which eX-
lists in Egypt, and whenever the mar
rator hasn't seen the snake himself,
he is more or less disposed 10 assert
that there really is a snake with two
heads in Egypt. because he has been
told about II by many reliable persons.
Indeed, sometimes q traveller who
has actually caught n glimpse of the
snake is likely to declare that it truly
is two headed. for the serpent certainly
appears to be so when seen only by
chance.
1t is only when the snake Is actually
taken up and examined closely that the
truth is revealed.
The two headed snake is not poison
Gus serpent. 1t is only boa con-
strictor. and II is fairly common. But
1t is so secretive that 1t hides away in
its sandy burrows almost constantly.
1t is strangely formed in SO far that

point as the tails of other snakes do.
widens out into bludgeOn shape, thus
making II look so utterly unlike Il tail
that It is almost impossible 10 think
1t is anything but head when the
snake is seen for only moment.
To add TO the deception. jugSlers

eyes on the tail The work is So care
fully done that only trained observer
can distinguish the real head from the
false. Thus the story OF the two head
