LORD ROBERTS, GHOST STORY
Tells How His Father Was Warned by
Dream Of Coming Death Of
His Daughter.

Lord Roberts records a remark
able case Of the warning dream. In
October, 1853, his father, to whom
he was acting A. D. G. at Peshawar,
had issued invitations for a dance.
Two days before it was to take place
ne was silent and respondent during
breakfast, and eventually told his
son that he had had an unpleasant
dream, which had visited him several
times before and had always been fol-
lowed by the death of near relation.
AS the day fore on his depression
grew, and he wanted to put off the
dance. His son dissuaded him, but
that night the dream returned, and
the dance was then postponed. "The
next morning the post brought
news of the sudden death of nv half
sister at Lahore, with whom I had
stayed on my way to Peshawar."

SEEKS OUT FRUIT NOVELTIES
Government Investigator Has More
Fascinating Sport Than the Hunt
Ing OF Wild Animals.

Hunting wild animals may be all
right 30 far az it goes, but how much
more romance and how much more
romance and how much more value
to the world there is in hunting for
wild vegetables and plants which can
be made use of for the benefit of
humanity. f. N. Meyer, the gov
eminent agricultural explorer, has
started on another trip to China and
Siberia in search for new fruit nov
elites which can be introduced into
this country. He will be gone three
years, and during that time will
travel with his own caravan in the
widest parts of eastern Asia.
Whenever he hears of a remark
able fruit he will follow it up and
get seeds or cuttings from the tree.
This will be sent to Washington for
propagation and study. Owing to
the great distance it is very difficult
to make scions or cuttings preserve
their vitality so they can be made to
grow. One of the objects of this long
journey is to procure cuttings of the
famous Felt Ching peach of China.
This peach grows so that it weighs
as much as three pounds. On for
mer trip Mr.. Meyer got cuttings
from it, but they refused to live
when grated on American stock.
Stones from the peaches have been
planted. but there is little hope from
them, for peach seedlings seldom
come true to variety or are of much
merit.
