A Ca.e In Which the Coincidence, Were Remarkable. On one occasion during the civil war I dreamed that I was standing beside a road when there came marching along it a strong column of prisoners, with guards at intervals on the flanks. 1 asked one of these guards '*lw the prisoners were and where they had been captured. He informed me that they had been taken tn an engagement with the enemy on the day before and that there were I.tMM) of them. I then a=aed some bystander wbat day of the month it was and was told it was such a day of a certain month, some sis weeks later than the date of the dream. The whole dream was extremely distinct. and it made a strong Impression on me. 1 related it to a number of my comrades within the next few days and then thought of it no more. Six weeks later, on the morning of the very day that had been mentioned in the dream ns the date when the column of prisoners bad passed before me. 1 was on picket two mfks distant from the point where 1 had seemed to be when i saw them. It was soon after breakfast, and 1 was standing by the -ide of the road at the fire talking to the officer of the picket when an aid to the commanding general came riding down the road. He had been a achcolfeUow of our officer’s at West Point, and he reined up when he recog nixed his fri--nJ. He told us that be had good news; that there had been a sharp engagement with the enemy the day before and that our people had captured 1.900 prisoners, who liad just passed the beadquarters that morning on their way to the rear.—St Louis Globe-Democrat. Stuck to 111, Pont. When it comes to a battle, a borse shows no fear of death, no sign of being overcome by panic, in all the wiki tumult of the battle's roar. A horse in one of our batteries in the Murfreesboro fight was hit by a piece of shell, which split bis skull that one side was loosened. The driver turned film loose, but when be saw the team he had worked with being driven back for ammunition be ran to his old place and galloped back with the rest. When an officer pushed him aside to have another borse pnt in, he gazed at the new one with a most sorrowful expression In his eyes. TJien be seemed to realize that the battle was no more for him. and he walked away and lay down and died. The officer declared that it was a bro’ n heart that killed him.—Our Dumb Animals. I-Iternry Dl*Hrn!tfe*. “She has been talking about writing a novel for years.” said ou“ woman. “Yes.” answered the other, "but 1 don't think she'll ever get it completed. She has followed the plan of those authors who study their personal acquaintances for types of character.” “Isn't the method a good one?” "Not In her case. When her husband refuses her anything, she wants to put him in as the villain, and when he doc» as she wlsl es she wants to make him the hero.

THE LIMIT PASSED. One Sebeme Which the Girl** •tern Parent Would Not Sanction. “Please, mamma, please!” "I’apa. I beg of you do not refuse!” Cordelia Pasdetout clung wildly al-cut her fond but obdurate mother's neck and rained kisses upon her cbee-ka. while Anastasia, her sister, did likewise to her father. But their pleading seemed of no ava l. The elder Pasdetouts shook their gray beads firmly in negation, though It was evident that the necessity of refusing their daughters' request pained them beyond measure. Gently, but with decision, as one shakes a hard shelled crab from out a scalp net, the parents disentangled their daughters’ arms from their shoulders; then, mastering his emotions, the ■ father said: “No, Anastasia and Cordelia, what you ask of us is too much! Never before have we refused a request of yours. We have moved from city to city, from state to state, to the Injury of my business and the destruction of your mother's health. In order to deceive people as to your ages. For the last ten years it bas been nothing but | move on for us. for every time the peopie of one place would tiegin to suspect I your true ages you have insisted on us packing up and going elsewhere, that ' you might start anew at 22 and 23, respectively. We have submitted to this nomadic life for our love of you. but your most recent demand is too much. We absolutely refuse!” The daughters sobbed like anything. In fact they sobbed like everything. But their firm parent remained firm. ‘‘No,” continued Mr. Pasdetout; "we will not absolutely will not celebrate our silver wedding again in order to prove to people that you two cannot be over 24 at the outside! The idea”’— Harper's Bazar. TAKE WATER FOR MEDICINE. A Health Producer Which I* Available Everywhere. There is no doubt that we do not drink enough. Our bodies consist largely of water, and the aveioge man needs to drink from four to six pints of water doily in order to maintain health. This is the amount of water eliminated from the body by means of the kidneys, the skin and lungs. It is evident that a fresh supply is constantly need«J to stipply this lost aid in the process of ffigostion and carry away waste matter. if the amount of water imbibed Is not sufficient for all this, the health must suffer. Air. water and food are the essentials of life in the order given. A person can fast a Jong time —experiments have proved this—but that same person could not get along without water fur that length of time. As a usual thing women are the ones who suffer the most from an insufficiency of water. Mothers'should see to it that their children have plenty of water to drink. There is a diversity of opinion regarding drinking at meals. Some assert that the practice is injurious, as it dilutes the gas’ric juice. Others again claim that a glassful of pure drinking water taken during the process us mastication is healthful. On one point, however, all authorities agree—namely, that Ice water Is injurious. Generally speaking, the theory advocated by the best physicians nowadays Is to drink often and much. It cleanses the system, increases ci tuiXtion and helps to make a r lear complexion. Tbeieivre. ye meh and women, the latter especially, drink. Take clear, pure, sterilized water and be thankful sc simple a remedy of nature is near at band.—Table Talk. Fireproof Safe*. "For city use in modem buildings,” said a safe manufacturer, "safes are nowadays made thinner wailed than formerly, thus giving them more room Inside in proportion to the space the safe occupies. The modem building is fireproof, or substantially so, and In case of fire the safe does not fall down through the burned floors into a mass of burning debris in the cellar, but it stays where It has been placed, supported by the steel flour beams of the room and, with loss around it to burn, subjected to comparatively less beat. “Under such conditions the thin walled safe Is as fireproof as the thick walled safe would be under the conditions in which it is used in the old style buildings, for use in which the thick walled safe is still commonly sold.”— New York Sun.

"Most Englishmen are considered pretty fair horsemen, but when it comes to riding a bucking broncho some of them are not in or on It for long.” said the owner of a large cattle ranch in Wyoming to the writer the other, day. "For instance, a rich young Engi lishman recently came out to my pan of the country in quest of some good I investment He was at my ranch as a guest for a few days, and one afternoon as the cowboys were about to round up a bunch of cow ponies the young man said that he would enjoy a good ride in the saddle. He said he e.ns used to riding only thoroughbreds, and be didn’t think we had a horse good enough for him. The hoys convinced him that they bad one of the finest horses on the plains, and if he knew how to ride be was welcome to the animat He was apparently insulted when questioned about bis ability to ride and answered that be could ride any kind of a horse. A sleepy looking broncho was accordingly brought out free the corral and saddled. Though the bea«t appeared half dead, he was the worst bucket in the herd. “ ’ ’E's lifeless,’ said the foreigner when the pony was brought to him. The buys said the nag would wake up after the first mile, and milord got into the saddle. The first buck jump placed him on the horse’s neck, and after the second he was in the atmosphere. He turned a double somersault and landed on the sharp end of a cactus plant. When he picked himself up. one of the boys asked what be thought of the thoroughbred now. The question made the Englishman turn pale. “’ Vs a good ’oss.’ he answered, *but he lopes too bloomin ’igh.’ ”— Washington Star. Cwevnr Waan't There. The man un the street car was talking to a friend about hie trip tbrouch Grce«* and the torn‘s of the ancients he had met with, and after a while the old man opposite, who hail been listening closely, leaned forward and remarks!: "Str. ik) I understand that you were in Greece?*’ "Yes. sir," utts the reply. "And you saw tombs?” “Plenty of them.” “Did ytxi happen across the tomb of Julius Caesar?" "No, sir. Julius Caesar was not a Greek, you know " "That's s<» —that’s so. Now that you mcnti<>u IL 1 rememls-r that he wasn't. You *«. I had kind of got Julius Caesar and Christopher Columbus and George Washington mixed up. and I'm glad you set me straight Thankee, sir.
