A DYING GIRLS VISION.
The Deathplace of Her Father Was Re
vealed

An unusually interesting instance of
second sight is reported from Accring-
ton, Lancashire. A young woman on her
deathbed not only announced her fla
Tiers death, but described the spot
where his body lay, the fact of her ia
theirs death not being known to anybody
at the time. The man in question was
Isaac Marsden, 53 years old, who lived
in Stevenson street, Accrington. His
daughter, % years old, had been vast
ing away with consumption for months
About a week ago Mr.. Marsden dis
appeared from home under mysterious
circumstances-tha is, no reason was
known for his going away and nothing
could be learned of his whereabouts.
Miss Marsden was deeply distressed
by this event. On Saturday she told
those who were at her bedside that she
had seen her fathers form.
You will find his body in the water
at Aspen bridge, Oswaldtwistle, she
said.
About an hour later Miss Marsden
died. Mr.. Marsden's body was found in
the canal at the spot named by his
daughter-London Daily Mail.

Peanut lovers have noticed that the

verified by the most casual glance at

are also said to be much better in flavor,

,'oclare that the small nut is the sweeter.
At a cookery exhibit lately held in
Paris an interesting feature was the re
production of a dinner offered to Napo-
leon l., exactly 100 years before, by
Prince Taleyrand, his famous foreign
minister, 1t was an elaborate repast
for twenty-siX persons, and the original
menu of 1906, prepared by Talleyrand' s
famous cook. Careme, was faithfully
followed. The pots and pans used, and
the table upon which the dishes were
prepared, were actually the same as
used at Talleyrand's house century
ago.
-Roumania is inhabited by a bewlder-
ing variety of races, but whether OF
Greek. Slav or Teutonic lineage. the
modern Roumanian makes it point OF
honor to claim descent from the c0lonists
whom Trajan planted in the conquered
province of Dacia, A. ID. 107. Calling
themselves Romuni and their language
Romunie, the proud citizens seldom draw
out a legal document without some allu-
sion to their founder, whom they style
the divine Trajan.' The Roumanian
language reflects the composition of the
race, and now only family suggests the
language which Trajan spoke.

DOGS NOT ALLOWED IN STABLES.
Are No Longer Considered Good Com

Dogs are no longer the correct thing as
stable companions Of horses. Some years

anu i good many OF no distinction, had
a faithful dog in its stall, and there was
Il sort of superstition among trainers that
Il dogless horse would not amount to
much, Real champions always had
dogs.
Way back in the days of Goldsmith
Maid, that wonderful mare was accom-
panied on her travels by small Scotci:
terrier, for which the old mare had some
affection, although she was jealous of
the beast, and when "Old Charlie who
took care of the mare and slept in the
stall with her and the dog. made too
much of the terrier the mare would run
the dog out Of the place without cere-
mony. And when finally the dog sap

Cats take naturally to horses. and most
horses Ike cats. The GodOlphin Arab

bred family of today. that figures in
Eugene Sues works as the nOblest ami

too apt to be lost to make them avail
able for horse companions, and few are
seen although now and then one turns
up ut Il minor meeting.
At Cleveland a couple of summers ago
one trainer had four tame doves that
could not he induced Ia leave his horses
and that when the stable moved from
one town to another were always ready

Some trainers object to having dogs
with the horses. Peter V. Johnston,
who has brought out some OF the best

So many times do love thee, dear.

And threading the eye of a yellow star;

HOUSE INTERIOR LIKE SHIP.
Owner Says He Can Always Feel as if
He Was at Sea.

nc was at sea.
One of the most originally constructed
houses in the United States is owned
and occupied by Capt. NJ. +. Doullut,
president of the Louisiana Navigation
and Fisheries company, at Egania and
North Peters streets. Capt. Doullut
states that he built the house in which
TO end his days, and TO suit himself.
lie likes to feel that he is aboard a
vessel even when he is at home, and the
interior is so constructed as to suggest
this at all times. The house overlooks
the river and the captains vessels land
directly in front when they are in port.
from the cupola the captain ean stand
and see the lights of Canal street to the
right and those of Chalmette to the left.
The plan of this house was originated
by Capt. Doullut Twice he tore up
plans and was not satisfied until he had
made them different from anything he
had ever seen, and he has Travelled con-
sdefably. The house was built by
Capt. Doullut and his. crew of boat
builders, and one year was occupied in
its construction. 1t cost about $4,000.
This house is 81 feet square, sur
rounded by an iron fence, with cement
pavements. The rooms resemble the in
terror of a ship; there are port holes,
companionways for stairs, and the lower
bears striking resemblance to the hull
of an ocean-going vessel. The lower
story is of brick, the upper of frame
The roof, of slate. is modelled after the
Japanese style. The caves and cornicc
are built directly from Jananesc pat
terms.
The house is ceiled with pressed steel
and finished as deliberately as the saloon
of ship. The cupola is constructed ex-
actly like Il pilot house, and has win
| dows all around. If breeze is blowing
the captain is sure to catch it there
The gallery is continuous, and at any
time the owner can swing his hammock
so as to be in the shade Electric lights
are used for illuminating, and every
thing is situated so that it is unneces-
sary to leave the house for anything,
even the cistern being located on the
/ gallery.
