PepYs on MAY Dew.

In Pepys' time May dew-that is,
dew gathered from the grass on a May
morning, and especially on the morn
ing of May day-was highly priced for
bleaching linen and improving the
complexion. Pepys wrote in 1867: MY
wife away down with Jane and w.
Hewer to Woolwich in order to lie
there tonight and SO to gather May dew
tomorrow morning. which Mrs Turner
hath taught her is the only thing in
the world to wash her face with, and |
am contented with it." Two years later
he made this entry in his diary:

CATCHING a Bride.

Among certain Siberians the bride
groom is not permitted to have wife
until he can catch her. But they do
not give him a fair race in the open.
The bride, surrounded by her female
friends, awaits him in a big tent. AS
soon as she sees him she runs off
He follows like Hippomenes after Alta
lanta. But instead Of obstacles being
thrown in the way of the bride they
are thrown across the path of the
bridegroom. The pursuing groom falls

and fishing rods or is tripped up by
ropes Only when 1t is feared he
might give up and sulk and go away

SINGULAR DREAMS.
"Poetic" Effusion That Drew Tears of
Pathos From the Sleeper.

9Poetic" Effusion That Drew Tears of
Pathos From the Sleeper.
Lord Roberts records a remarkable
dream. In October. 1858, his father, to
whom he was acting us aid-de-camp at
Peshawar, India, had issued invitations
for a dance. Two days before it was
to take place he was silent and de
spondent during breakfast and eventu-
ally told his son that he had had an
unpleasant dream, which had visited
him several times before and had al
ways been followed by the death of
q near relation. AS the day wore on
his depression grew, and he wanted to
put off the dance. His son dissuaded
him, but that night the dream return
ed, and the dance was then postponed.
THE next morning the post brought
news of the sudden death of the half
sister at Lahore with whom | had
stayed on my way to Peshawar"
Many people have dreamed poetry

dream with the tears streaming down
his face at the pathos of the following
lines:
