From the windows of the cafe they overlooked the boulevard, which at this hoar was crowded with people. The 69ft breezes that sweep through the etrpots of Paris on warm summer nights tanned their cheeks, Inviting them to go down among the trees, somewhere, any where, to dream of moonlit streams, In spired poems and chanting nightingales. One of them, Henri Simon, said to his isompanlon, with a profound sighs "I feel that 1 am growing old, my friend. On such a night as this in days gone by I was keenly alive to the pleas ores -of existence. Tonight I have noth ing bat regrets. Life Is short at best."- lie was ft man about 43 years old, a little stoat and quite bald. The other, Pierre Carnler, not his sen ior in Bppearanco by any means, but more slender and vivacious, replied: "I, my friend, have grown old with out noticing it.

It is not very extensive, is curved like ft horseshoe and encircled by tall, white cliffs, pierced with singu lar holes called The Gates.' Oneof these cliffs is enormous and Btretchos ita gi gantic length to the water's edge. The other is round and flat. The women swarm over this narrow strip, with Its pebbled walks, and transform it into e brilliant carden of summer toilets with in walls of ock.

Close by the water's edge the people lounge in the sand, watching the bathers as they come trip ping down in their flannel bath robes, which theydlscard with a pretty move ment as soon as the white fringed waves play around their feet. Then they run in with swift llttlesteps, while the water sends thrills of a delicious chill through their veins. "Few women are made to endure the orucible test of the bath.

Two World's fair visitors, to hickory shirts, jeans pantaloons and immense straw bats, stalked into the Missouri state building the other day, and were at once the center of a curious crowd. The visitors were brothers named Hart, and they had taken a novel way of reach ing the World's fair. They left their home in Camden county. Mo., about the middle of June and oame up through the Illinois bottoms by easy stages In camping wagons. Camden county. Mo., is where they raise good harvest hands. Th Hart brothers are typical members of this profession. Along about early harvest in June they allowed it to be a good plan to work their passage to Chicago and the World's fair via the harvest field. Camping outfits were stowed away in wagons and the pair started northward. When they found a farmer woo needed extra help in making hay or harvesting early crops they hired out ror a rew days. They not only paid their travel ing expenses In this way, bnt laid by snug sum witb whlcn to see the fair at their leisure.

Ilia words were: 'Captain, I made C90, 000 last night; went to bed early and slept soundly. You know the price of iron went up, and fortunately 1 had enough on hand, which I hod purchased at a low figure, to net me a fortune.' Aa Captain Ferguson concluded the story he told another of how Dennis Long made 300,000 because tho price of iron dropped out of sight. It was just at a time when Mr. uong had failed in busl- nosa and told Captain Ferguson that he was 100,000 in debt. "Well, said thecaptain, "Dennis Long went np to Indianapolis to bid on the construction of the city waterworks. There was but one other bidder, and Mr. Long was awarded the contract Not long after iron began fluctuating, and Long's estimate having been mode on the basis that iron would advance still more in price, it already being high at the time, be of course found that as it decreased be was reaping a golden harvest. Well, iron went down and down. When it stopped, it was worth hardly anything. Mr. Long, as I said, made $200,000 by this, and he's been making money ever since." Louisville Courier-Journal.

This neuso Is not present In all animals, and those who do possess it manifest it in diiT, rent degrees. But it is sufficient to know that its existence can be recognised. LSirds are particularly gifted In this manner. They have a taste for bright colors and melodlons sounds, and most frequently the male snbjngstes and fascinates his mate with the beauty of his plumage or tho flexibility of his vocal organs. Thero are besides other birds who show this testhetlo sense in a singular manner- One of these is the baya.

Among them are brilliantly col ored feathers of other birds, bright bits of shells, bits of stuffs, and tho bird struts about in the midst of all this with evident pleasure. Insects also possess a marked lestbetlc sense.

STEAMBOXTINQ OfT THE OHIO. It ITm at th Iltlgbt of IU rroiperltj Hair 0ntary Ag-o It was from 1840 to 1853 that steam. boating waa at IU height Fortunes were made in those years by men who owned and ran boats. Thero were lots of steamers on the river then. The em bryo industries of that period depended on the river entirely, ror railroads had only been proposed not bnllt. About 100 steamboats wero bnllt at Fittsbnre annually to run on tho Ohio and Missis sippi rivers. This city was noted for the trim crafts it placed on the water, as some of the biggest and best running steamers were bnllt at the headwaters of the Ohio. The boats of tho early steambostlng days were all side wheelers. It was not until late that the advent of the stem wheel boats occurred, and when it did they were not looked npon with favor by the denizens of the side wheel crarts, The rivermen regarded them as an in ferior kind of boat, on whose decks it was beneath the dignity of a first class steamboatman to tread. Tho packets wero of good size and stoutly built. They were not supplied with swinging stages and steam cap stans, and their engines were or sure out not eo graceful movement as engines now, and electric light for steamboats were not even dreamed of. But they served their purpose in making big mon ey for their owners. There was but ono organized packet company running boats down the river from llttsburg. it was the oldilttebnrg and Cincinnati Packet lino, and It owned about M steamboats, some of which left the Pittsburg wharf dally. Among thsm were tho Buckeye State, the IBbemia, Pittsburg, Crystal Palace and Pennsyl vania. Theeo boats wero all stonily built and especially adapted for fast running. The laws relating to racing were not so stringent then as now, end exciting contests of sneedon the river occurred daily. One of tho swiftest of the packets was tho Pennsylvania. Sho was the largest of the Cincinnati boats and made some splendid records on the Ohio. She was 210 feet long and 81 feet beam. Another fast steamer was the Alleghany, bhewaa uot so largo as the Pennsylvania, but was almost as speedy. Some of these old Cincinnati Packet line boats were sunk, a few burned, and the othors wore out in the river service. Besides the Cincinnati company's pack ets there were several steamers, most of them owned by Pittsbnrgers, which ran down the river and which had no regu lar trades, but made trips whenever and wherever there was occasion for their services. They were chiefly to 8t. Louis and New Orleans, the trip to the last named point being completed in about 20 days. There were a few boats run ning up the Wonongaliela ana Aiiegnany rivers. Brownsville was as far np as the slack-water improvements oxtended on the Monongahela, and Franklin was the bead of navigation on the Aiiegnany, Pittsburg Post. A Dardlttan Lcnd of a Uar. Two women, a mother and her little daughter, were one night watching their field of Indian corn "makal" against the inroads of the bears. The mother had to go to her house to pro pa re the food and ordered her daughter to light a fire outside. While she was doing this a bear came and took her away. lie car ried her to his den and daily brought her to eat and drink. He rolled a big stone in front of the den whenever he went away on his tours, which the girl was not Btrong enough to move. when she became old enough to do this, he used daily to lick her feet, by which they become swollen and gradu ally dwindled down to mero misshapen stumps. The girl eventually died, and the poor bear, after vnln efforts to re store her to life, roamed disconsolately about the fields. Dr. Leltner In Asiatic Quarterly. A Hook Xlrought Down Prom llaaren. According to Uohammedan belief, the first copy of the Koran, or Alkoran their sacred book, was brought down from the highest tn the lowest heaven by Gabriel on th .tcrlous night of Al Ehade in the 1. .li of llamadan. This wonderful book, written in heaven and bound in satin, jewels and gold, was communicated to Mohammed at differ ent times during a period of 23 year.

DJIEAMS THAT COME. STRANGE FANTASIES OF THE DAY TROUBLE U3 IN SLEEP. Few Esampls of Disturbed Slumber Tlial Illustrate a Ilrlg ht Ilemark Hade by an tllustrtnus Foet Remarkable Ex periences In Sleep A lawyer who Imd been overworked roso In hfs sleep, went Into the ball of his home and discharged a pistol. Tho household hurried to the place and fonnd him at tho head ot the stairway, awake, bnt mnch bewildered. He had dreamed of burglars and had gone to at tack them. One member of the family slept through tho noise. When be came Into the dining room bofore he had heard of the even t of the night he com plained that liis sleep had been mnch disturbed. He had dreamed that he had been condemned to be shot, that he ha1 been led to the placo of execution and had fallen senseless when the guns were fired. A ladr dreamed that a man carno Into her room, poured some water into a ba sin, carried tho splashing water to ber bedside and began to sprinkle It over ner. She awoke and heard a loud splashing. At first she was motionless with fear. but presently ehe lighted a candle and went to tbo basin, where she found a monBe making f rantio efforts to get out of the water. Another dreamed that, she had n ee- Tero earache, that she rose, unlocked a door that separated her room from one In which two children slept and went to a shelf where was a lotion which re applied to her ear. When she awoke. sho round herself in ner own oea ana without pain. The door was still locked, but in a few minutes ono of the ohildrcn began to cry that his ear ached, and she rose and went to the shelf for the lotion. A Tonnjr man dreamed that he was In his ofBee, busy with a troublesome esti mate, when a woman came in with a screaming baby and began to walk rap idly np and down the room, so that it was impossible for tho calculator to re member his figures. Presently the wo man thrust the child into his arms, and he was bo startled by this that he awoke, but the screams still troubled his ears, for a mother in a neighboring room was walking about vainly trying to quiet a crying child. Another incident appears to be a case of thought transference. Several years after the death of her husband, a widow, lying awake one night, recalled vividly some scenes of ber husband's last illness. Presently her daughter, who was beside her, awoke and said, "Oh, mamma, I have been going over in my dreams all tbe scenes of papa's illness," Bho then told her dream, In which the scenes were almost tbe counterpart of those that had been recalled by her mother. Dreamers sometimes answer questions and carry on more or lees coherent con versations. A lady had a summer cottage on an island in Hnskoka. One night her sons were stormstaid on tho mainland, and a vonng English visitor went to sleep full of apprehension that Indians might visit the house while their protectors were absent. In the night the hostess was suddenly roused by some one clutching her arm. and when sho opened her eyes she saw her guest standing by the bedside. "Oh, Mrs. Langhton, Mrs, Laughton," exclaimed the girl in a hoarse whisper, "there s a man at the window an Indian He's gone to get something to climb in by." The noxt moment Eva was fumbling about on the floor. "What are you doingr aeked Mrs. Langhton. "I have some liniment in my valise,' was the answer. "I'm going to get it out, and when he puts his head through the window again 111 throw it in bis eyes." Mrs. Laughton, who was not nervous, began to laugh, but Eva paid no atten tion and presently asked, "Where's tho button hook?' "What do you want it for?" "Why, Mrs. Laughton," said Eva aloud, and in a very indignant tone, "do you think I would allow myself to be seen anywhere with my shoes unbutton ed? No man would respect that kind of KirL" In tbe morning when Mrs. Laughton awoke and looked across the room to Eva's bed she saw the girl sitting up, gazing with dismay at her crookedly but toned shoes in which she bad slept. Sho had no recollection of the remarks she had made in the night, and it was evi dent that she bad been asleep all the time. One night in camp I heard a peculiar sound near the middle of the tent, and by the dim light I saw one of the camp ers apparently trying to climb np the tentpolo. rtWhat are you doing?" I asked. "There's a snake in my bed," she an. iwrred, "so I'm going to sleep up there,' "Up therol" "Yes, why not? It will be more com fortable." Then, with a Budden change of tone, she exclaimed, "I forgot to say my pray ers." Int instead of kneeling she picked her way through the tent to the foot of ene of the beds aud lay there till morn ing. She did not remember the conver sation ot the night, bnt told us that she had a habit of talking In ber sleep, and that ehe bad often conversed with her slaters while she was sleeping soundly.

Ditlei!is of llie AitoeMoa, The medhoval artists, having no Idea of the personal appearance of the Sa viours followers, adopted a set of signs. or emblems, for each, which soon be came familiar to all. The emblem of Peter was either a large key or two keys crossed, whlou Is readily explained by referring to the words of Christ (Matthew jrei, W, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven.'' The emblem of Paul was A sword and a book the latter to remind the beholder thaf he was a teacher of men; the former tg Indicate ffiat he was beheaded with a eworu. pt. Andrew was usually Ogureq standing by a proas shaped Ijke a letter Jf, that being the form pf tlje cross npot) which egen says he was crucified, The emblem of St. James the Great was rtther a sword referring to the fact thai he was also beheaded or a pilgrim's stall, he being a great traveler. St. John's emblem was a caldron, re ferring to bis experience In the boiling oil. St. Philip's emblem Is an enigma. It was a spear and a cross, yet it is known that he was hanged. St. Bar tholomew, who was "flayed alive," Is represented with, a knife and his skin hanging pyer his arm. Matthow's em plem is a sqnare, supposed to have eqme reference to Christ's calling.. Bt. Thomas, having been "pierced will a dart," is pictured carrying a spear. The emblem of James the Lees was a club, be hav ing been "beaten to death with a fag got;" St, Matthias an ax, be having been beheaded. Simon's emblem was a saw. The legend says "he was sawn asunder." St Louis Republic. licbtniua id Uaia. It is popularly supposed that the sud den dowupouy which neuaily follows a bright flash ot lightning is In some way eaueed by the flash. Meteorologists have proven that this is not the case and that, exactly to tbe contrary, It te not onlypowibfe but highly probable that the tudden iiwreaaed precipitation is the real cause of the flash.
