My friend, 1'hil Casy, was talking about dreams one day in my orTce. lie is a muscular "limb of the law," about 35 years of age, with no nonsense about him. fcI know yoo don't believe in dreams,'' he said, "and neither do I. Bat now that we're oa the subject I'll tell yon something which you can perhaps ac count for I can't. And then he told me a story. "A few years ago I was living in the village of Say brock, you know. One evening after 1 had been working very hard all day over a complicated case, I reached home with that peculiar, don't care-a-cent, done-out kind of a feeling which exceaeive brain woik is apt to produce, "After supper I picked out the hardest chair in the room and sat down to read the daily papers, for I was so tired that I feared to fall asleep should I seat my self in an easy one. "My wife sat near me quietly Eewing we had no youngsters then, nor servants and the home being on the very out skirts of the village, was still as an empty church. Absorbed, rather selfishly, per haps, as I was reading up arrears of news, I was not a particularly entertaining companion, I presume, and about nine o'clock my wife rolled up her work and said : 'I think I'll go to bed, PhiL Don't sit up too late,' and with a dainty good night kiss she disappeared. "Instead of following my better half as I sbocid have done, I continued to read ; bat, by and bye, with the idea of brush ing the cobwebs from my brain before going to rest, I etrollei across the road adJ called upon my friend, Frank Stay ner, who iroposed a short walk, the night being warm and moonlit. "Tbis suited me exactly, and we set out by way of an old bridle path which led across the fielJs into the country. After a little chatting and laughing, as old cronies will, we came to s small brook, which we passed over dry shod, on stepping stones, Frank being at the moment some yards in advance of me. "He was leisurely ascending the oppo site bank and had just reached the mid-d!t-of a clambof alder biuhes when he was violently felled to the earth and knocked senseless by a violent blow on the bead from a masked man, who sprang oat of the dense thicket. "Frank had fallen face do n ward and lay motionlcs as a log. In an instant the ruttiaa was upon him, turned him quickly over and began riding his pock ets with a skill and celerity evidently born cf kng practice. "'What was I doing all this time? WeU, I siojply stood there, looking on; not in the least terrified, but by some strange influence, absolutely incapable not only of motion, but even of uttering a sound. Stranger still, although stand ing in the broad moonlight, at lees than thirty feet from him, the highwayman seemed totally unaware of my presence and went on with his vi.-tim were the only human being within a hundred miles. "He had emptied my friend's trousers and coat pockets and was now feeling about his breaat for bis watch, a very valuable one; as I knew, which Frank always carried in the inside pocket of hU vest secured by a strong silk cord pass ing around the neck. "The robber always working in grim silence, soon foand the watch and not bothering to cut the string, jerked his prUe violently away. The shock seem ed to restore Frank to partial conious- nees and he drowsily marmereJ ; 'Hello : what's op T "At the soand of his voice all my be numbed faculties awoke to instant life, and, rushing forward, still unseen by the footpad, I dealt him a terrible blow on the back of his neck, and he fell insensi ble across the bjdy of his prostrate prey. Quickly rolling him aside I palled oil his crape mask, revealing a most villainous face. "Then I aseiated Frank to rise. He eeeo-ed quite recovered and none the worse for the assault. After securing tbe stolen property we took oar pocket hand kerchiefs and tied the fellows hands firm ly behind his back. He was stiil entire ly helpless and unconscious ; so, one of us at the head and the other at the feet, we carried him oa to the village unresist ing. "On arriving at the little police station the officer on night watch asked : 'What have yoa got there, gentlemen T " ' Nothing very nice, I guess, ' replied Slayner;'he knocked me down, how ever, and picked my pockets in good style.' "The officer flashed his light upon oar prisoner's face. 'Why, sure as yoa live, be exclaimed, 'its Ike Berry (a notorious crook of whom I'd often heard that we've been after the last three months. Damp him down anywhere.' 'All right,' said I Let go, Frank,' and we dropped oar bar den with a .crash to the floor. At that moment a woman's voice screamed oat: 'Why Phil, what's the matter? and I awoke to find myself sprawling over the carpet and the whole Adair a dream." "A rather lively one certainly Phil," said L -but I have heard lots as curious." "Why, man alive ! I'm only beginning my story. Yoa don't suppose I'd bore yoa with such stuff if that were all ? As I said before I'm no believer in dreams never in my Ufa knew one to come literally true but somehow this parti cular dream so impressed me that I ouldn't get it out out of my mind. "Having s dread of my wife's good hu mored railery I did not tell her the dream. But the next night I really did go to sex ESTAELTSHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1893. Stayner's. I took hirn into my eonS dence and asked hi-u to go with me over the ground which I h&d in my imagina tion traversed the ni;;ht before. "Frank laughed, but readily agreed, as a mere lark to take the proposed walk Before starting out each of as armed him self with a heavy blackthorn ehillalab, two of which I had brought from the 'oald sod' the year before and presented to my chum. "On coming to the little creek, with its clear sparkling water in the moonlight Frank banteringly said: "Well every thing looks quiet enough here, old fel low. I gness your dream robber won't materialize.' "Even as he spoke I thought I saw an especially dense spot in the clamp of alders ahead ; and althongh I really had no serious misgiving, I rather impressive ly said : Wait for me, Frank. Don't go np the banc alone.' "Oh, nonsense ." h replied as he pass ed lightly on. "He had now gained fully sixty feet on me and was walking carelessly past the grove, .w hen the black spot, upon which my eyes were fixed, moving swift ly towaid him, aad I yelled. 'Look oat, Frank ? Tbe warning came well nigh too late, as tbe words had barely passed my lips when a masked man, corresponding in ail respects with the one seen in my dream, darted from the shade, and, with out a word, struck at my friend's head with a murderous looking - bludgeon, which, if the blow had alighted as intend ed, would have crushed his skull like an egg sheih "Frank, however, had partially turned at my cry and instinctively raised his own heavy cane, w hich, meeting and de scending weapon, bo lr dttlected its aim that tbe stroke fell upon his left should er, but still with such force that he was dashed, for the moment senseless to the ground. "In the twinkling of an eye the assail ant was upon him, and, going through his pockets with wonderful speed, in tending, doubtless, either to get away be fore I could come up, or, if need be, overpower me also, or, perhap?, if driven to it, to use his revolver. "Ss far my vision had been realized with remarkable UJelity, but now happi ly, there was a b.T-ak. I was not struck dumb and motionless as in the dream, but, on the contrary, stimulated to ex ceptional activity ; an 1 w hile the absorb e 1 villain was in the act of groping for Frank's watch. I reached his side, and with one blow of my blackthorn I aent him stunned to the ground. "Turning hira ou hi3 far, I Wis busily engage.! tying his hands behind him when Frank recovered from his tempora ry daza. We then somewhat improved upon the dream prcgraume by taking off our cravats and securely binding the scoundrel's ankles UitretLer. "On examining Stayner's harts I foand that his left collar bone was broken and the arm on that side qaite helpless, but otherwise he was all right. His assail ant had not fared so well he remained apparently lifeless. "Sayner made light of his wounds, but he was unwontedly serious. 'Old man,' said he, this is a most astounding reali zation of an apparently wild and cause less dream. How to account for it I do not. But suppose we now curry it out as closeiy as possible by taking this vaga bond to the police station. Probably the parallel will fail us there. If it holds good I shall be dumfoanded, indeed, and ready to believe in anything. "Yon know," continued Phil, "that I'm somew hat of an athlete, so after we had deprived the thief of his steal ings and moreover of a loaded balldoi? revolver, I shouldered his not very light weight and set off to the village, while Stayner followed with the captured blud geon and pistol. "We had nearly a half mile to walk through the solemn stillness of the night and thus several times I laid down my load in order to rest myself. Oa the last of these occasions the rurfiia revived jxst as I was reshouldericg him. Finding hiruselfa disarmed, impotent prisoner, he poured forth upon as each a vol'.y of curses that I dropped htm again to the ground, and bv the help of his own sus penders anl wallet gagged him eff.-ct-nally. "Then I hoisted him again as Ode might do a sack of wheat, and we went on rather relieved to tin 1 that we had not become involuntary executioners. As we plod led along we indulged in many speculations a? to the identity of the wretched creature. Hut neither of as seriously believed that the police were likely to enlighten us upon this point. 'Twculd be too wonderful for my dream to come true in this particular also. Jud'e then of our feelings, perhaps more of awe than astonishment, when upon entering the station the man in charge, with a single g'aace at oar cap tive, said : "'Well, gent'emen, you've made a good niuht's work, sure enoagh ! This is the eecaped convict, Ike Bjrrv. Taere'sa reward of fx oat for his capture, and all the police of the State have been on the lookout for him sinca last April.' "Frank Stayner actailly shuddered as the oriicer spoke. Turning to me he mattered : "This is most too much for me, PhiL It's awful. Ljts go round to the doctor's and get my shoulder fixed rap.' Taen to the oihcer : 'We'll tarn the reward over to you, Jim. The glory's enough for as. "Bat before leaving leaving we told the whole strange story to the man, whose running eoaimentary of almost in credulous surprise'was from time to time accentuated by a smothered curse from the now iron shackled prisoner." "Weil, Phil," said I with judicial grav ty, "may be it's rude to ask the question after "your introductory remarks but honor bright now, is this really an out-and-out true story you've given me ?" " Tis as true as that yoa and 1 are sit ting here, old man. Ike Berry is now serving out a fourteen years' sentence in State Prison, and Frank Stayner is still alive to testify as to the dream bosiness. Bat why that dream ision intelli gence forshadowing call .it what yoa Will, was sect to me was one of those ae cult mysteries which neitiier yoa nor I nor any other mortal at present under stands." Clara Why do yon always call my cloak mantle? Maud It must be because I a in n-sed to thinking of it as being on the shelf. Novel Wedding Tours. A wedding tour is generally supposed to be a trip taken by the newly married couple and is usually emphasized by new clothes, decided evidences of affection, carriage rides ad libitum and sometimes a few stray particles of rice in the trim ming of the brides wrp or under the curling rim of the groom's high hat for who ever heart of a groom w ho didn't wear a silk hat ? These signs are, however, not infallible, and the brides and groom of to-day have some very extraordinary ideas about in troducing a little variety into the ordina ry bridal tour, some notable examples of which are unusual enough enough to suit the most ardent searchers for novelty. At a hotel in Washington, which is a well-known resort for bridal couples, is a woman spending her honeymoon alone. Everyone knows of the man who went on a trip by himself because his money only allowed of one going, and he thought that he had better be that one, but a woman is something new in that line. This one hails from Baltimore, and as her husband could not leave his business long enough to go on a honey moon trip sne compromised matters by taking np her alnxle in Washington for a few days, her newly -wedded lord and master arriving at midnight ond leaving again before the house was stirring. The bride appears at all the meals in the gorgeousneas of her wedding finery and palpably new ring, and does not seem to mind in the least the absence of her other half so long as she can display her gowns in a fine hotcL A very wealthy pair were wedded late ly in Chicago, and they took with them on their bridal tour at least twenty young folks in a special car belonging U the groom. Another couple, this tame hailing from Philadelphia, started for Florida accompanied by the groom's brother, as they two were so devotedly attached to each ether that they could not let even the honeymoon separate them, and a third pair, consisting of a very little man and a tall girl, are accom panied on their travels by a very stout m other-in-iaw, who insists oa taking the a nhappy sroom':' arm oa one side, while the tall wife grasps him firmly by the other. Poor unhappy little fellow, his troubles have cotiimecced early I To wear old clothes, to appear inJiJ erent and to add some one else's compa ny to the usually complete number may be the new way of conducting one's hon eymoon, but the old style with its en dearments, its suspiciously new clothes, and its evident repugnince for third par ties is after ail the best, for the honey moon comes bat once in a lifetime and the romance should te held to as long as possible, for the realties arrive soon enough without taking them along on the very drat journey. Really Exciting. The tramp shivered so, and locked so cold, that the woman just couldn't shut the door in his face. " I don't want anything to eat, madam," he said with some dignity. "I only want to get warm." " Well," she replied, "coal is rather high, but I guess yoa can come in by the kitchen fire awhile." He came in and sat down in the cor ner by the grately waroieth and his en joyment was evident. - "Something to eat, wouldn't hart you, would it?" she asked, after a few mo ments. " It never did yet, lady,"' he said with a wan souiie. She brought hi in something and he went at it with energy. " Yoa suffer a! most as ma-h as if you had to work, don't you?-' she ventured. " Not quite, ruadatu, but very near it, I thick sometimes." "This winter weather is especially se vere on yoa, ain't it ?" " Yes ma'am, but it has its compensa tions, ma'am," he said, with the convict ion of a philosopher. "In what way?" she asked, with much cariosity. He took a big swig of hot cotTee. " Well, ma'am," he said," yoa see we can starve twelve months in the year, aad it becomes monotanous; but in win ter we can starve and freeze, too, and the extra risk we run makes the life really exciting." He smiled that wan smile again, and the woman brought him out half a hot mince pie. Speech Restored.

A Portland man who was at Augusta last week says that while he w as descend ing the state house steps he saw two old gentlemen meet and cordialy shake hands. The short, spry old man, with hair of snowy whiteness, reaching in wavy curls almost to Lis shoulder, was General Neal Dow. His friend was a man prominent in Washington a half century ago Senator James W. Brad bury, of Augusta. " General," said Sen ator Bradbury," we're getting to be pret ty old boys now, but I guess we're as spry as those youngsters in there." (point ing to the representatives' halli, "ain't we?"

When the news of the Presidential election reached here last fall, .Deacon Horace Dykeman shook his fist under Fred Gilbert's nose, in John Clark's blacksmith ehop.snd yelled: "The coun try's ruined, and yoa helped to do it 1" Deacon Dykeman is a rank Republican, and the election of the National Demo cratic ticket made hint very wrathy. Gilbert, who is a young Democrat, smil ed at the deacon, backed away from the fist, and gave three cheers for Cleveland and Stevenson. " Cheer, yoo copperhead reprobate !" roared the deacon, and eat of the shop he rushed. Heqaickly tamed back, and pointing bis finger at the robust young Democrat, saia : See here, Gilbert, in the future I won't have anything to do with you. Yoa understand what I mean, don't you?" And with that he wheeled about and started for home. Gil'jert was keeping company with Miss Emily, Deacon Dykeman a eldest daughter, and understood what the dea con meant, but imagined that he would change bis mind in a few days. The next tiaie that Gilbert went to call on Miss Dykeman it was Sunday afternoon, and the deacon met him at the door and waved him back. " The country's rain ed," he shouted, "an l yoa helped to do it 1 So keep off my premises ent irely in the future ! Dont come near my honse gain !" Gilbert went away, and in the evening he and Miss Dykeman met and took a strolL They soon became enzaged, the agreement beingthat the marriage should not take place until MLad Dykeman had overcome her father's enmity toward Gil bert and won his consent. Miss Dyke man labored hard, but the deacon was firm in his decision nut to have anything to do with the young Democrat, and then Mrs. Dykeman tried to reconcile him, bot in vain. There is one farm between the Dyke man and Gilbert residences, and when the lovers couldn't meet they aent notes to one another. Miss Dykeman owned aa intelligent dog named Beauty, and one day she concealed a note in his col lar and told Lim to run down to Mr. Gil bert's and give it to Fred. Beauty trot te 1 off and Miss I'ykeman watched him till he got to the Gilbert dooryard. Young Giloert wasexpecting the dog, and Beaa ty stayed around until he had answered the love letter aad fastened it to his col lar, when he cantered back to his mis tress. Beauty socn got so that he bark ed and made a great fuss whenever Miss I'ykeman failed to send him on the er rand, dashing off in great haste when he found that he had a note to deliver, and waiting patiently until the note was ans wered and placed in his charge. One afternoon in the early part of Feb ruary Miss Dykeman saw her father com ing r.p the road jost after she had sent Beauty off to the Gilbert place with a note for Fred. The deacon told the dog to go back, but Beauty dashed past him and went on, much to the deacon's aston ishment. A few days later the deacon caught Beauty while he was oa his way down ta Gilbert's with one of Emily's cotes. The deacon read it, and this was the end of Beauty's occupation as a note bearer between the lovers. In the note Miss Dykeman told Mr. Gilbert to meet her at the donation party at Lit More house's residence. Her father refused to let her go, and his conduct brought the courtship to a sudden termination. On February 17 MIsb Dykeman receiv ed a letter from an aunt in Tompkins coanty, New York, telling her to come thee at once if she wished to see her cousin, a young woman of her own age, alive. Mr. Dykeman urged his daugh ter to go at once and she did so. It was a pat-up job or. the deacon, for Gilbert joined Miss Dykeman on February 20 and last Thursday the deacon received a letter from Emily, in which she inform ed him that she had been married to Gil bert and hoped that he would be ready to forgive them both when they return ed, -.v. r. .. How to Feed for Eggs. Hens kept foreggs should be so fed that they can produce them. Lime in some form should be provided for the product ion of the shell. .Most grains contain some lime, but actual experiment has proved the wisduat of the practice of ponrv keepers in feeding oyster shells to the low Is. Those fed with oyster shells lay better shelled eg and more of them than thope which have been de nied this article of diet. The white of the egg is pure albumen, and to produce a large namber of eggs the hea most as similate a larg-j amount of albumen. Foods, theref re, which coataia albumen lean L'teat or scraps, a little linseed meal, oats, and the like should be fed, says A'trUiiii AyrirtUtarut, which adds: The yolk contains some oil and indi cates tSe need of some carbonaceous food. Indeed carbon is needed to pro duce the force necessary to sustain and support the hen in manufacturing her product. Indian eorn and wheat are useful to use in connection with other fools. Hens fed for egs should be fur nished with ail the elements necessary for the support of life and the product ion of the eggs, and will lay much better than those which are fed at hap-baiird and with no systematic attempt to fur nish well balanced rations for egg laying.

Uncle Jerry Hayseed, np in Sullivan coanty, N"ew York state, bad a fine dairy and a hard working wife and two daught ers, who did all the milking and churn ing, and a worthless son Joe, who would not work enough to earn his salt, but to whom Uncle Jerry was holding np his mother and sisters for models, especially the ait of milking. Joe, though no worker, was an honest fellow, and Uncle Jerry had often sent him to the village to make put chases, and when he heard of the new milking-machine, he gave Joe a nice round sum of money and sent him to new York to buy one of those new English milking-machines, as he thought anything in the world could be found in the great city of New York. Joe came down to New York, and hunted around but could 'find no milking machine and as his last resort he went to an English steamer and cau tiously asked if they had brought over in her cargo any English milking ma chines. Tbe captain was a jolly old tar and full of fun, and told him they had about ii0 of them, and taking Joe on board, showed him the machines. "Why," sad Joe, "those there are girls." " Weil said the captain, "what kind of miikicg-tnachinea have you got at home . "Milking-machines at home?" said Joe. "Why, mother and the girls." " And don't these look very much like them?" said the captain. "Only they are English, yoa knew." "Yes," said Joe. "But what is the price of one of them?" J I can't exactly tell you that," said the captain. " Bat you just pick out the machine that suits yoa the best, and tel) her how many cows yoa have to milk, and then ask her the price, and I guess you '-aa drive a bargain." So Joe selected bis machine, toid her how many cows he had to milk and showed her tiie pile he had in ready cash to pay down, and then asked her the terms. The machine took him up to the cap tain, and the bargain was soon made, and a minister was called upon to put tbe finishing touches upon the bargain and purchase, and then the happy Joe and the English machine for his bride starttd on their journey to Sullivan coanty. and when be got home he presented her to Uncle Jerry as the bet floifli..1) milking machine that he could find iu New York. Of course, Uncle Jerry was full of wrath for a time, but honest J oe told him to keep cool and just test the machine before condemning it. And this fall Uncle Jerry has the finest dairy of batter in SuLivan county, and though a little sore on the milking ma chine subject, says that his son Joe is an expert judge of milking-machines, and Joe is now full partner with the old man. A Woman Buying Stamps. "How many stamps do yoa get for a quarter?" she said to the stamp cleik at the pustotFice. "Twenty-rive one cent ones or twelve two cent ones.'" "Don't you give back the odd cent change ?" "Certainly." "Are they the Columbian stamps or the old kind?" "I can give yoa either." "Don t the old style ones come a little cheaper now ?" "No ma'am." "I thought they would ; they're out of style, you fcnow." "The government receive them the tame aa the new ones in payment of postage, and a great many people prefer thetn." ; But, their red color doesn't match some Sty lea of envelopes." "1 caa't help that." "Couldn't yoa sell me a dozen ot the old two cent Mamrs fcr fifteen cents?" "No ma'am." "Couldn't yoa on Friday?" "J ma'ant." B a; that's bargain day in the stores." "But not at the postotfie." "When is your bargain day ?" "We don't have any." "Not have any bargain day ! and my husband told me the postotfie was run oa business principles. Why yoa don't know the first principles of business." Winding a Watch. "My watch," said a gentleman to the salesman, exhibiting a costly repeater, "vanes a minute in a week.

Untruthful Children. Some one asked Miss Harrison, the superintendent of the kinder-garden col lege In Chicago, what she would do with a child who told lies. Miss Harrison does not believe in cor poral punishment for any offense. She said: "It would depend entirely upon the sort of a lie it was." Her ad vice in substance was this: Lying is too often treated locally, when it should be constitutionally treat ed. There are almost as many different sorts of lies as there are different sorts of ieers. For example, exaggeration which comes from excess of imagination. That is to be cured by teaching accuracy of observation. Make the child count ail the objects in the room. Make him hold steadily to proven facts in everything. Titen there is the lie of egotism, which is alwsysclaimiait everything for itself. Ignore the story. Make it seem not worth his while. The lie which denies is the fault of other people. Banishment has been given arbitrarily. That is to be given arbitrarily. That is to ba corrected in the guardian. Tne harueet fault to correct in a child or any one else, is the deep lie of jeaiousy , the malicioas lie. It always comes from jealousy and there seems to be only ono possible remedy. Get the jealous child to perform some service for the other. Make him particiiate in "the other's life, in some way become a partner , as it were, and the jealousy ceases. Beauty and the Beasts. Three Broadway cars, fnur trucks, a mail wagon and a light cart became en tangled in a blockade near prince street. It was bitter cold, and the drivers felt grieved that they had to stand still. Then a handsome carriage with a spanking team and oil driver in livery tried tn worm its way through the block ade. There was a rattle and a bang, an I the carriage wheels were caujht by the wheels of a truck. "Hah, ye swsah faced, lunk heeded baboon," a car driver yelled to the liver ied driver, "wbar'y'sraw'n?" " Gabback ou o' that 1" cried another driver. The air was blue with pi'.famtv, tath driver vieing to outswear the other, The driver of the carriage said never a word, but his face was a study. Tag, hostility and cuss words were struggling there with restraint and duty. Just then the carnage ioor was opened from within, and a roy face appeared budding from a hazy mass ot luht furs It was a sweet, blue eye.!, young and very pretty face, only the mouth was contracted as if in pain. " What's the mAtter, John?"' she Asked plaintively. "Can't yoa drive on? I'm just freezing in here." The swearing ceaed at once, and no one looked John in the f.ice, but the driver of the car backed his horses, the truck pulled up a little, the cart swun slightly around and the carriage passed through and roiled oa its way. .V. 1".
