A Dream Joka, Almost every one has dreamed ol writing a poetn, delivering a speed: or making a witty remark that seemed nt the time wonderfully brllltaut, but that, recalled on waking, proved to l>< •Ither commonplace or wholly mean tnglefqj. That is not always the case however, na thia story, which the Rev Washington Gladden is fond of telling proves. “I dreamed,” says Dr. Gladden, "that (lie old house that formerly stood nem my church was still there and that old Mr. Deshler, who has been dead many fears, still lived in it. 1 also knew that his old dog, George, who neves failed to bark at tne when I passed the bouse, still Jived. In my dream I war passing the house when the door opened and the old gentleman came out, followed by George, who, as usual, rushed barking tip to me, ” ’Now, now, George,' said tho old mnn, 'you ought not to do that. You know that's a friend of ours. That’s Dr. Gladden.* " 'Oh, I have met George before,’ 1 responded to the Introduction. Tn fact George and I have for some time bad a bowwowing acquaintance.’ " — Ex- ’ change. Riding In a Jlnrikisha. When the European or American tourist first lands in Japan he nt once Remands a jlnrikisha. Having read ot It and beard so much of it he wants tn Immediate experience of it ns soon • « he finds himself in the land of it" birth. Almost any day one mny see a procession of men and women, nshore tor a day or two from a steamer in port, making their way up the crowded thoroughfares of Tokyo, sitting rather awkwardly In their jlnrikisbas, trem bling unlmlaneed over the axle, not knowing whether the thing is going to tip backward or fall forward, so loosely does the puller seem to hold the shafts. The first time one gets Into r. jlnrikisha be always feeis like a baby, and this gawklsh sensation coupled Wilk that of the uncertainty of one's position In balancing it, renders the experience not quite so pleasant as anticipated. But the only way for comfort Is to sit back at one’s ease and leave the responsibility to the man who pulla it.—Japan Magazine. To Mannar Born. In "Hamlet,” act 1, scene 4, occur these Hues: Ay. marry, ts't. But to my mind, though I am native here And to the manner bom, it Is a custom More honored In the breach than the ob servance. Some have maintained that In this case “manner” should be spelled "man or," because the former was an old variant spelling of the latter. The phrase would then be applied to a per son accustomed to the usages of a Io caltty. But the weight of opinion favors “manner” as used, for instance, by Swinburne in the sentence, “He has not the eyes and nerves of one to the manner born.” In this case the phrase refers to one having a lifelong acquaintance with given conditions nnd customs, regardless of whether they •re associated with a single locality.— Philadelphia Press. Source of Robinson Crusoe, The Edinburgh Courant, long since dead, Is worthy of remembrance, not only by Edinburgh nnd Scotland, but by the literary world at large. Its editors Include Daniel Defoe, who seems to have been the first occupant of Its editorial chair, to which he appears to have gone on his liberation from Newgate. "Old and New Edinburgh” mentions “the Edinburgh Courant of Oct. IG, 1707 ithon edited by Daniel Defoe)." but Dr. Chalmers in bls “Life of Defoe" says it Is not suspected that he continued long to edify the Edinburgh citizens with his lucubrations. It was doubtless during his Edinburgh sojourn that Defoe heard nil about Alexander Selkirk of Largo, the original of Robinson Crusoe.—London Chronicle. Language of the Nose. "Here is an article in the paper that says a woman's character can be determined by her nose.” “Well, there may be something In that, but there’s a surer way. No one can make a mistake concerning a woman's character if he will look at the noses of other women who meet her. The extent to which they turn up at such times shows just what she is or Isn't.”—Exchange. In the Same Boat. Newlywed Husband—The time has come, dearest, when I shall have the painful task of acquainting your father with the fact that I am heavily in debt. Wife—Don't mind that. I'm sure he'll give you the sympathy of a companion In adversity.—London Telegraph. Insulted Indeed. "Why Is Mrs. Van Wombat so angry with you?" “It seems the cook she lured away from me is not satisfactory.”— Kansas City Journal. Her Scheme. “Why does your fiancee study the bill of fare so long?” "She wants to figure to mo afterward how much T will save If we get marrled."—Meggendorfer Blaetter. Discoveries. So many famous discoveries have turned out to be rediscoveries that we become cautious about asserting that any event or achievement was the first of'its kind.—John Fiske. Accomplished. "Is be well versed?” “Yes. He's a fool in many languages and on many subjects.”—Philadelphia Ledger.

Russia's Immensity. Thu Russian empire is us cumpaCt an, the British empire is scattered. It la onb greet muss with no parts, except possibly a few Islands along the coast, separated from the main body. There are no distant possessions, no-oversea territory, and the czar claims no dominion over any land not lu the nortberq lietuUpJiei'e, . . , Its area Is what astonishes. l> is larger than all of North America from the cnnnl north ami with the istuaq* of the < 'urlbbenn thrown in. One-sixth Os the land area of the globe Is-under the czar's Hug nnd Within its bounarles Is u |>opu)i<tioi> greater than- that of Great Britain, Getnuiny nnd I'riiuee combined. Ami this population of between irai.ooo.ooo and 170.000.000 Is increasing at the rate of 2.<X*i,ooo -i year by birth. The population of the empire hna doubled in forty years. Os tile many strange things about Russia perhaps the strangest is that this immettse empire lias no salt water port which doos not freeze up in the winter. No big nation In-the world is so circumscribed in this respect— Brooklyn Standard Union. Why You Wink. The unconscious act of winking bears a quite important relation to the welfare of the eye. This being the most delicate and sensitive organ -of the body exposed to the al», it is in constant need of the protection given by the eyelids, which not only close quickly at the approach of danger, but are employed In washing the surface of the eye. Moistening is required to offset the drying effect of the air nnd cleaning to prevent the injurious effect of dirt. Every time you wink the eye is washed. Inside the eye is the litUb tear gland, which, as its name implies, IS busy storing up the supply of tears. This gland keeps the inside of the lid riioist, and you wink automatically Whenever the surface of the eye becomes dry or a particle of dust or anything else strikes it. This work is done as often as necessary, and to realize how often It is necessary tryhow long you can keep your eyes open without winking. "Dreary Stuff," Said Gissing. G. B. Burgin in the Bookman contrib Utes a personal recollection of George Gissing, whom he met many years ago at a garden party In St. John’s Wood. “He was curiously and I should think unconsciously picturesque," writes Mr. Burgin, “his loose, easy clothes and slouch hat seeming a part of his own personality more than a studied pose, and looking rather nt variance with the smart ’getup' of the London crowd which filled the little garden.” During conversation Gissing alluded to the fact that many authors wrote with ease nnd facility, “but,” he added, "I g|ind it out with infinite pain and labor." When Mr. Burgin hinted that most of his material was saddening, “Yes,” be said thoughtfully, “it's dreary stuff-dreary stuff!” Evangelist \yho Was an Actor. George Whitefield qualified as a Isiy for greatness in more than one direction. The future evangelist enjoyed play acting and performed in girl's clothes before the mayor and corporation of Gloucester, while by the time he was fifteen he had become an expert ale drawer in the family public house. These pursuits, alien to the pulpit, appear, however, to have been converted into aids to evangelism. The youthful love of the stage, says the London Chronicle, no doubt helped to develop the tremendous histrionic gift which made Ix>rd Chesterfield on hearing Whitefield describe a blind beggar’s fall over a precipice spring from ills seat and exclaim, “Good heavens, lie’s gone!” H« Had Found His Specialty. A London contemporary tells the following anecdote: A member of the bar not richly endowed with intellect after years of brieflessness married a rich widow. She died. Again he sought a bride with a large dower and again became a widower. Then lie thought be would return to his long neglected profession. He approached an old friend who had meanwhile become a judge of the supreme court and asked what, in his opinion, would be the wisest course for him to pursue. “Stick to the probate and matrimonial,” said the judge. His Revenge. “Ha, ha!” said the man who had just been elected. “I thought you said you trusted the wisdom of the plain people.” “I still believe in it,” replied the de seated candidate. “The wisest people want a joke now nnd then.’’—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Tactful Man. He—Do you know, y° u are so clever and charming and brilliant that I really feel embarrassed in your presence. She—But you mustn't; really you mustn't. He (reassuringly)—Oh, I dare say I'll get over it when I know you better!—Life. Moro Than Her Share. Patience—Nature lias provided for her lavishly. Patrice—how so? “She has two chins.” — Yonkers Statesman. The Trouble. "There seems to be a coolness between them.” “Yes. The trouble is they're both too hot tempered.”—Detroit Free Press. Under Cover. Parson—Robert, did you know that your mother was looking for you? Bobby—You bet! That’s why she can’t find me.—Boston Transcript
