SAVED BY A DREAM.

The Vision That Came In SIumber -4s Warned Her From Death.
 I have never had much faith in dreams, but about a year ago l had one which was the means of saving my life, and since then I scof no longer.
 I dreamed one night that the figure of an old man dressed in black ap- preached me and asked, "Are you ready?" 1, taking him for the "angel of death," shuddered and replied, "No, and the figure vanished. +' When awoke and related the dream to my mother she told me not to worry over 1t, as bad dreams usually meant good news.
 A few days later had occasion to visit girl friend at her office in a large office building. At the conclusion of the visit my friend walked with me to the hall, where we waited for the elevator to take me down. When the elevator car came to our floor I was still talking to my friend. and the ele vator runner inquired, "Are you ready?"
 was about to say "Yes" and step il
 when the question struck me, and glanced at the elevator runner. II immediately drew back and replied ''No; never mind; I'll wait for the nex car."
 | The car fell, killing the occupants Anna Mandel in New York Telegram. He Made the Sale. |i "'Yes, the property is cheap enough
 Why do you want to sell it7'' s"You won't give me- awayY .~ |" "No.'' .. Well. sir. it's because I'm the only
 man in this neighborhood that doesn't ,.move in high society. and I'm lone some. ."-ChicagO Tribune.

 The pit brow women work at the mouths of English coal mines in sheds open to the weather at the sides. The work which they perform has to do with the sorting of the coal according to size and quality and the freeing of 1t from stones. There is some lifting to I lle done and some pushing. There is some risk, but not great deal. Wo- men have been hurt by the catching Of. their clothing in the belting and lima achinery, but of late there has been more care than formerly in covering the parts of the machinery which proved dangerous. At the present time accidents are rare and confined for the most part to the crushing of fingers. There is dust constantly ris- ing, and this makes the work untidy.
 
 faces as well as men. but they wear cloths on their heads, which keep the | dust out of their hair, and the fact that they are in the open air, together with the constant muscular exertion required, is on the whole beneficial to their health. Many of the girls are fine figures and all have good color. They prefer the occupation to dOmes- tic labor or employment in factories. The wages they earn range from a shilling to 2s. 3d. day. In the vari- ous colliery towns there are upward Of 5000 women thus employed-Ex- I~change.
