Florence. Jan. 13--tSpecial)-- His. tory. both religious and profane. re- lates many instances where dreams W are prophetic of gcod or i'll. warning these 10 whom they were sent of death and disaster which was to come to them. or foretelling glory and power. Joseph's dream of famine. whereby Erypt was saved from starvation. is ore Of the first recorded. Cicero learned ,n a dream that he was to be- come the greatest of Romans. Asty- ages learned in q dream that he was to become the conqueror of Asia.The Tro- ian war was foretoid to Hecuba in a dream. Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar. Henry " of England. Marie Antoinette and Charles I. were warned through dreams of the manner Of their approaching ends. But coming down to our own time there are not lacking instances quite as remarkable, as the following occurrences which took place at Gravelly Springs. eleven miles west of Florence. just before the civil war, will show
 Belton Waits and Horace summerhill were members of two of the best fam flies of the Gravelly Springs section, and from early youth had been bosom friends. They had studied out of the same books. shared the same sports, at tended cnufcn. Ht me sanfe beeIlnE- house, and sowed their wild oats to- gether. This comradeship was undi- unfinished as youth ripened into man hood, though towards the summer of 1860 Waits declined to follow in the course of dissipation set by Summerhill, and the latter when drinking. some times showed traits of character which his friend could not understand
 Waits was working plantation near that of his father. and when the crop was laid by. 1t was usual for a series of picnics and barn dances to be given, which were attended by old and young for many mile around including al- ways, Waits and Summerhill.
 On the Fourth of July, 1860, a big picnic was to be given at the Springs, and on the preceding night Hattie Waits had n vivid dream in which she saw her brother murdered by Summerhill So impressed was she by tho dream. that she refused to go to the picnic, and when her brother rode by she was waiting for him at the front gate to warn him to turn back.
 Why Sis. you are growing supersti- tious,' said Waits. Horace wouldn't harm hair of my head. Go take some thing for your nerves and come on to the picnic"
 But his high spirits could not lessen the impression her dream had made. and no persuasion could alter her de- termination to remain at home. That day was a long and anxious one for her, spent for the most part in watch ing up the road to the Springs for the dread messenger which she momentar- fly expected to see. Towards four o'clock in the afternoon, as she had be- gun to, hope that her fears were un-

When old age comes, it brings wlth if catarrhal diseases. Systemic ca- tarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to many old people, Minn eapolis, Minn.. writes;

 Charm has age limit. There is charm of the maiden in her teens and twen- ties a charm of the matron in her forties. a charm of the beautiful old age that has lost no grace with the beauty ef silver hair.
 Charm does not depend on looks It inheres in personality. very plain wo- man may have more of 1t than a beauty, and may outshine the latter in consequence. Beauty perhaps has it's best innings in girl hood I have seen distinguished man of letters, a man whose attentions were a com- pliment spend an evening in devotion to an empty-headed girl. who had neither brains nor wit. but whose head was set faultlessly upon her shoulders, whose eyes were like stars, and whose complexion was a dream. Rallied on his absorption, he laughed and said: Just to look at Miss
 is a liberal education Anything so perfect does not need intellect" Maybe not But few years hence, when the rose and white tints may be sallow, the eyes lose their lustre. and the slender figure grow fleshy. the charm will vanish Charm built on mere looks without soul behind them is necessarily ephemeral
 An artist was one day commenting on two women of his acquaintance. sisters. One was conceded to be homely. The other was extremely handsome. Wait" said the artist. 'Ten years from now I would like to paint the older girls portrait She is charming because she has uncommon bril- nance, and her mind will mold her face. Her sister will lose her advantages No. l do not care to paint either as yet. Dimples and A creamy skin are common enough. They do not constitute beauty
 Charm is almost indefinable. 1t IS as subtle as a perfume, elusive as remem- bered music.
 But when, if a woman is charming. Is she probably most so?
 We'll 1t depends. If unmarried. she Will probably arrive at her meridian of queenli- ness when she is in the sunny region of the thirties In these days a woman at 70 occupies precisely the ground her grand mother occupied at 2S The clock of time

Another element of womanly charm is genuine interest in people. Nobody is charming who sits aloft on a height and look down on the multitude. To be charm ing one must be magnetic and spontaneous; must have friendships with working women and toiling men, must in short. have a real talent for discovering good in everybody and everything. No woman will ~Ter retain charm beyond youth who has not imagina- tion and love. A good deal of emotional temperament goes to the making of charm It is noticeable that women on the stage hard as their lives are. do not lose their capacity to charm half early as do wom- en who lead a sheltered and safe hut prosaic existence at home. The elderly actress Is often as charming in her wrinkles and under the gray of her hair she wnJ in the heyday of her .triunphs. Youth has some how survived in her. and it's fires light up her countenance: its enthusiasm tinGes her intercourse with women and men.
 When is a woman most charming? At 20, in her radiant brightness. at 80, in her glowing loyeliness. at 40 or 50 in the noon of her powers. or at 70 in her sunset. when the color wanes in the west? It depends in the last analysis on the woman, and it is in the power of any woman. if she choose. to maintain the empire of her charm until her birthdays become a state secret, and her granddaughters are married

WHEN IS A WOMAN

Charm Depends Not Look But PersOnaYIhe Part Played
 Dress and Good Breeding, Imagination and Love.

for a pretty woman stands still during the five years that she passes after the twenty fifth milestone A young married woman with babies coming, and the cares of the nursery and her housekeeping upon her. of ten loses much of her bloom at this period. looks frettted and pallid. has lines on her brow and a dropping mouth, the result of broken rest and anxiety Her beautiful time is later The matron of forty is seldom other than attractive.
 It is idle to discount the part that dress plays in enhancing woman's outward charms. Once in while a woman is built on lines so noble. and has statuesque a figure and fine face, that what she wears is of no particular conseducnce. But this is exceptional. A woman who is badly gowned who has sense of color and pro portion, whose clothes are ill-choSen and or a genius. but externally, she will lack something that her better dresed sisters have. The manner of wearing clothes adds to the charm of some wearers.
 There women who are what may be called painfully smart, yet then clothes make no impression of belonging to them. They might be fashion plates for all the good their costly costumes do in giving them a stamp of distinction and refinement. And fashion plates are--just fashion plates, dressmakers' dummies nothing more. A really elegant woman wears her clothes with the same simplicity that ths rose and the lily and the rest of the flowers show about their royal raiment.
 Charm may be aided by clothes but it's root is deeper. How did Mme de Stael, noted for ugliness. capture the critical SO ciety of her time, whence came the perennial autocracy of Mime Recamier. undisputed until she was venerable, what has made our own Julia Ward Howe an American queen on the shady side of eighty?
