When Dreams Came True.
An English magnziiie records two
dream storie. In one n lady, having
lost an itiiKriant key while walking
in a wood near her house in Ireland,
dreamed that she saw it lying :il the
root of a certain tree. Nest day she
found it there. She supposed hei eye
must have seen it after it dropped,
though her conscious mind had not in
stantly noted it.
lust the same was the theory ot a
barrister who went out late at night
to post his letters and iiikjii undressing

ceived during the day. He dreamed
he saw it curled round an area railing

as he had dreamed. The mind regis

Something Wrong.
Au Australian auctioneer who was
reputed to have more education than
professional ability was endeavoring to
sell some cattle to an audience of farm
bands. "Gentlemen." he began. "1
have a particularly nice lot of heifers
and bullocks, and 1 may say that the
heifers predominate."
He was interrupted by a very agri
cultural voice from the crowd. "I
thort there was something wroug with
'eui." it said, "or you wouldn't have to
sell "em."

Eccentricities In Palaces.
The, Russian Empress Anne built a
great palace of ice and on occasions
when the fancy seized her punished
several of her dainty courtiers by com
pelling them to pass the night in this
great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.

Saving the Oil.
ln Cairo." said a journalist, l
beard a queer yarn about tbe fella
bin. Tbe fellahln are tbe native ru
raiists. They are very poor. Well,
when the British built tbe Egyptian
state railway tbe officials were as
tounded at tbe enormous quantities of
train oil that disappeared. They knew
that all this oil couldn't be used for
lubricating purposes, so they made an
Investigation and found that It bad
become tbe staple food of tbe poor
fellahin. Tbe railroad detectives re
ported that tbe fellabln all over
Egypt were using the Egyptian state
railway's train oil as their chief sup
port. They buttered tbelr bread wltb
train oil. They fried tbelr flsh In train
oil. Tbey made a kind of suet pudding
wltb train oil us a base. Tbey drank
train oil heated as a flesh producer or
builder up. So tbe railway officials
mixed castor oil wltb tbe stuff; and
tbe fellabln after a year's torturing
and vain effort to acclimate tbelr sys
tems to tbe mixture decided to give
train oil up."

Didn't Like Course Dinners.
A colored woman, native of the
south, had been working for a Vflat
dwelling family of moderate meansUn

accept a place bringing higher wages
with a wealthy family who live in a
large bouse ou Euclid heights and
have their dinner served in courses
every night just as if there was com
pany. This colored wmman had been
brought up to put everything on tbe
table at once, wltb tbe exception pos
sibly of tbe dessert aud did not take
kindly to the course system. A few
days ago her former mistress met her
on tbe street and inradred how she
liked her new place.

Ths Gsntrous Arab.
"Oca day when In our wanderings
we happened to camp near some roll
ing country tbe sheik and I rode off
In search of gazelles." says a traveler
In Arabia. "We found a large herd,
and, being mounted on good horses, we
managed to ride them down, throwing
ourselves off our horses for the shot,
then galloping on again. We killed six
gazelles iu about an hour and rode
back to camp with enough meat for a
big feast. It is the custom that who
ever kills game should provide u feast
for all his friends. On the occasion of
these feasts 1 noticed that there was
always a crowd of hangers-on waiting
at tbe end for u scrap of food, half
starved looking boys and ragged men.
These were orphans whose parents
bad been killed or men whose herds
had been 'lifted' by other Arabs, and
as n result they were destitute, for the
law of tbe Bedouin is "survival jf tbe
fittest' In Its strictest setr. But the
sheik supplied foot'-' liberally, and 1
noticed that be 'always looked after
the poor ami' fed tbe hungry."
A .Life Saving Order.
Many years ago tbe American war
ship Delaware came near foundering
off the coast of Sardinia while luffing
through a heavy squall during a morn
ing watch. The "unauthorized letting
go of the fore sheet" alone saved tbe
ship from going down with 1.100 souls
on board. The first lieutenant, after
ward Commodore Thomas W. Wyman.
with difficult climbing succeeded in
reaching tbe quarterdeck, where.
snatching the trumpet from tbe officer
In charge, his first order, given in a
voice heard distinctly fore and aft.
was, "Keep clear of tbe paint work!"
This command to hundreds of human
beings packed In tbe lee scuppers like
sardines In a box instantly restored
them to order and prevented a panic.
they naturally feeling that if at such a
time, with n line of battle ship on ber
beam ends, clean paint work was of
paramount importance their condition
could not be a serious one.

The Baby Stare.
Have you ever sat opposite in bus
or train to n baby, say. from one to
two years old? If you have you have
been compelled to notice It. And un
less you are a misanthropical person
I guess you nave caught yourself feel
ing uncomfortable under Its wide eyed
scrutiny of you. I think there is noth
ing more disconcerting than to be re
jected by u baby after full aud open
cross examination. Babies and very
young children have no humbug about
them. 1 believe they see more than
grownups. 1 believe they rend our
characters down to the very ground.
While tbe young mother Is interested
to find that her baby is being admired
that baby Is reckoning up both tbe
mother and the admirer, and when tbe
Jerky turn of the head comes tbe man
that has music In his soul feels small.
London Scraps.
The River Tinto.
There Is In Spain a river called tbe
Tinto, which has very extraordinary
qualities. Its waters, which are as
yellow as a topaz, harden the sand and
petrify it in a most surprising manner.
If a stone falls Into the river und rests
upon another tbey both become per
fectly united and conglutinated in a
year. It withers all the plauis on its
banks as well as tbe roots of trees,
which It dyes of the same hue ns its
waters. No fish live In its stream.
A Creature From the Fire.
Aristotle believed that some crea
tures were capable of supporting life
even though confined to tbe devouring
element. He says: "In Cyprus, when
tbe manufacturers of cbalcitis (lime)
burn It many days In tbe fire, a winged
creature something larger than a great
fly Is seen emerging from tne-tone
and leaping and walking about iu the
fire. These creatures perish Immedi
ately upon being removed from the
furnace."
Life and a Living.
Many a man has made a good living
who has made a poor life. Some men
have made splendid lives who have
made very moderate and even scant)
'livings.

Hunting.
"Do you enjoy hunting?"
"No."
"Perhaps yon have never had favor
able opportunities for enjoying tuu
sport. What have you bunted mostly?"
"Before I was married I generally
hunted for a boarding place. Since
then most of ray hunting has been for
flats." Chicago Record-Herald.
