According to one authority this is the Interpretation Indiana give to certain dreams: If you are a young man or woman and dream of Hying low It is a sure sign you are short lived, and it is time you were prepurlng your little busi ness to do your (lying at some other place. If you dream of (lying among the house tops or Just above, you will reach the fifty or sixty notch. If you dream that you ore away above the tree tops, then you are good to live up Into the nineties, and if you dream that you are bumping the stars with your gounlliend, then you will reach tlio century notch. To dream that you ure solid with a blnck eyed beauty is a sign that you will kill a fine buck deer before you Bleep again. To iroam of blood means also meat in the pot. To dream of your would be moth-cr-in-law breaking a bow over your head is u sure sign that you will uot be her dear beloved sou-in-law. If you dream of eating sofky with a de ceased friend, make your will before another sun goes down. Kansas City Journal. A Ruail Made In a Dny. Lothian road, a prominent street in Edinburgh, was made in a single duy. Kir James Clerk of l'enlculk bet with a friend that ho would between sun rise and sunset prepare the line of road, extending nearly a mile In length by twenty paces in breadth. It luip pi'ued to be in the w inter season, when many nu-n were unemployed. He bad no difficulty lu collecting several hun dreds of tlnwe on the ground nt the ap nointiil time, when l.e gave them all a Ere On With the New." of Shoes.

The Inhabitants, dis mayed at so vast a force and so sum mnry a mode of procedure, made no resistance. So active were the work men that before sunset the road was rititilclcntly formed to allow Sir James to drive his carriage over it Stale Dread. It is generally supposed that the stnleness of bread arises from Its be coming actually drier by the gradual loss of water, but this Is not the case. Stale bread contains almost ex. actly the same proportion of water a new bread after It has become con pletely cold. The change Is merely In the Internal arrangements of the mole cules of the bread. A proof of this Is that if we put a stale loaf into a close ly covered tin, expose it for half an hour or au hour to a heat not exceeding that of boiling water and then ullow It to cool, it will be restored In appcar nnce and properties to the state of the new bread. Entertaining Cnntomera. A New York business house near White street and Broadway reckons Its yearly entertainment fund nt about $100,000. It does an annual business of over $20,000,000. Its salesmen are bright fellows who control trade. One who works altogether on a commission basis makes $25,000 a year, but of that spends $15,000 In entertaining his customers. JUDGE fiWAYNt ACQUITTED. Senate Passed Naval Bill Represent ative Burton Ferced an Amendment Washington, Feb. 28. The senate concluded the Impeachment trial of Judge Swajne by acquitting htm on' all the charges made against him In the articles of Impeachment presented by the house and then passed the na val appropriation bill. The voting on the Bwayne case be gan at 10:10 o'clock, 20 minutes after the senate convened, and continued urtll 11:45. There was no discussion, all the time being consumed In tak ing the 12 votes necessary to dispose of each of the articles. The highest vote for Impeachment was 33 votes and the lowest against it 47. On the two articles charging the use of pri vate railroad cars only 13 votes were cast for conviction. The larger votes were chiefly along party lines. The naval bill was discussed by Messrs. Gorman, McCumber, Black burn, Carmack, Hale, Lodge, Martin, Ferklns and Teller. Mr. Hale again criticised the too rapid Increase of the navy and Mr. Lodge defended the policy of the administration in foreign matters and naval increase. The na val bill as passed carries a total ap propriation of $100,300,000. Granit For Cleveland Building. With a handful of Republicans aid ed by the Democrats Representative Burton of Ohio gained complete con trol of the house and forced an amend- rcrnt to the sundry civil bill requiring the use of granite In the construction of public building at. Cleveland, his home town. Chairman Hemenway of the appro priations committee was put to rout, while the unusual spectacle was wit nessed of the presiding officer being twice overruled on an appeal from his decision. An amendment, however, was not agreed to until Mr. Hemen way unsuccessfully had exhausted every means at his disposal to check the tide against him. In order to adopt the amendment, it was necessary to revert to a page of the bill already passed over, a procedure also unusual. Seeing that he had been outflanked. Mr. Hemenway several times sought an adjournment after the bill had been reported to the house for favor able action, but his motions were voted down. So clearly were he and his followers in the minority that Mr. Hemenway Interrupted a roll call to move the passage of the bill, which was carried amid loud applause. The bill carries a total appropriation of G5,272,2S0. Earlier In the day the conference report on the army appropriation bill was agreed to and a number of meas ures pertaining to the District of Col umbia were passed. Japanese Domestic Loan.

Don't worry about them. Guardian angels still exist, even In the twen tieth century. Don't lose your temper with the children. Don't give way when you have de cided on any plan for them. Dont leave them too much with the servants. Don't repel their little confidences. Don't get impatient at their most unanswerable questions. Don't indulge them foolishly. Don't forget to encourage them and praise their little efforts to please you. Don't show favoritism, says Wo man's Life. Don't disagree about them. Their father and mother should always be In unison in their training. Don't forget that, they are God'n children, lent to you for a season. Love and Marriage. Love and. marriage have naturally deep and abiding influence over the thoughts of woman. When the last century was young early marriages were very common and a young girl was frequently a wlfo and mother several years before reaching the ago of 20. Now it is an unusual occur ence for a girl to assume such re sponsibilities until well on in her twenties, or1 perhaps thirties, and a wise change If is, for upon consider lnr girls of 15 and 16 at the present day It would be an open question as to whether they would be willing to fore go all the joy and happiness which comes at no other period of life and settle down Into the house mother. Let the girls play golf and tennis, let them row and dance, let them read and study and fit themselves for the greater work which comes with later years. Let their Judgment mature and there will be fewer mistakes made In cooBing a life partner and less cause for divorce. Where Girls are Cheap. China Is the great slave country of tho world. Of a population of 400, 0(10,000 there are slaves to tho number of 10,000,000 Every family of means keeps its girl Rlaves, and a man's po nltion is usually Ranged by the number ho keeps. At any age from three to fifteen girls are sold, eight being tho age at which most change hands. The girls ore supposed to do housework, it being cheaper to buy than to hire. Slaves vary in price; $10 is about tho Bverr.go, but much depends on the s'rl'i appearance. A good looking f'r! will fetch $20 or even $10. De troit Tribune.
