Strange Story of . Dream.

A correspondent sends the following
anecdote, or, as he calls it. ease of
thought transference," which was told
him by an eminent engineer, whose
name we withhold: This well known
engineer had been to Bulawayo on the
occasion of the opening of the railway
to that place. A friend who accompa-
MED him on the occasion contracted
enteric fever and died on the home
ward voyage. Half an hour before he
died his hair turned perfectly white.
On arriving in England the engineer
went to break the news to the Young
mans sister. He found that not only
did the lady know of the death of her
brother but she knew the time and
the circumstance of the hair turning
white. The engineer was requested to
break the news to the father and moth
er as gently as possible. but TO cay
nothing of the hair turning white. Aft
er a journey of 100 miles he found that
both father and mother, whom be saw
separately, not only knew of the death
of their son, but knew of his hair turn
ing white at the time of his death.
Each had had a dream. vivid dream.
at the moment of the death taking
place, and each had kept his and her
own counsel. and they had not spoken
to each other Of the dream.-London

Romance of the Cicar,

A bride of year ago gave her hus-
band box of long, lean and sickly look
ing cigars for birthday present. The
man smelled them, looked at the label
and then, with tears in his eyes, said ::
Il cannot bear to smoke your present.
I will keep them always as token of
your love-" His wife was so touched
that she went down town and ordered
three boxes of the same brand and had
them charged to her husband. When
she gave them to him she said: Here
dear; these are not present. Smoke
them and enjoy them" Topeka State

The plated skirt holds its own for
street wear on the new spring suits.
It is cut three inches from the ground
and is only objected to by women who
do not wear dainty shoes.
Long skirts are worn on all house

good sweeping length is needed
The pony jacket. though seen in a

This means much. for it implies that
whatsoever wears it has not gone wrong
in selection.
Here is a nightgown that is at once
simple and dainty. 1t is sufficiently
open at the neck to allow freedom, and
its sleeves are wide and loose. yet
there are no fussy details about the
pattern. JUDIC CHOLLET.

The predominant note of the spring

clinging materials. Crepe de chine and
soft silk will enjoy even more favor
