Two Instances Where Dreams of Horses and Fire Came True. Dreams, like girls, "are queer," and dreamswherein horses figure largely take rank among fhe queerest. In the year 3850 a gentleman entered a prom ising pacer for a race to come off some time 'during the summer. He was speeding the horse on the last of the snow and wrote to Lis wife, who was isiting in a distant town, that his prospects for a race horse were rosy. That night the lady, although not espe cially an admirer of horses, dreamed that she was sitting in the stand watch ing the finish~ of the race wherein her husband's horse was to take part. Re plying to the letter, she said that his horse would win the race, the last heat several lengths ahead of a gray horse, the only other one she saw in her dream, and that the judge announced the tiMe 2:20Y&. The letter caused a good deal of amusement in the family during the months previous to the race, and fnaly when the. day came five horses started, among them being a dark gray. The dream came true in every respect. the; race being won in three heats, and at the finish the -gray was the only one in it, the rest jnst coming into the stretch; time. 2:20%,. The dream I can vouch for, as I saw the letter weeks be fore the race took place. . Another gentleman, who was sleeping at an inn beside the track where his horses were stabled dreamed, that he saw the window of -a stall containinga val uable young horse being stealthily open ed from the outside. Then fire flashed and fell among the straw, revealing the horses in a state of terror, pawing and *ngrting loudly. The dream was se vivid that he awoke and fancied that he could in reality hear the horse strik ing the-walls of his stalL. He partially dressed and r"n out, apid not a moment too soon.

The Expert Witness. The present custom which permiti *each side to call in its own expert anc pay him for his testimony is caleulated to prodzice 'anything but expert testi mony unless the term expert applies t< manipulation of facts to suit his client'" case. It would be about as conducive t< justice if each side were allowed to re tan and pay a judge and jury of iti own. Iafact, the practice is so obvious ly calculated to defeat instead of ai< the ends of justice that it is diffcult t4 see how it ever originated. The mern fact that a witness is employed an< paid by the defendant or plaintiff un consciously enrolls him on that side and there asre few experts whose testi mony is not modified by such an ar rangement. This custom has led so of ten to a flat contradiction regardinj facts between opposing authorities tha the general public has lost confidence il such testimony. This is, of course, ver: unfortunate, as it is beyond questio3 that a man whio has devoted his life t a study, for instance, of poisons an' their effects on the body is in a bette position to judge of the probabilities ia a given case than the ordinary laymal physician.

Here is a stcry which is too much to the credit of two ladies and a gentle mau to be wholly suppressed. They are all strong swiinmcrs dnd can battle with the waves in valiant fashion. They chanced to be in the sea at one -time and on a shore where the under tow is irresistible a short distance out. The man suddenly felt himself in that strong, terrible, outward pull of the wa ters of the mighty deep. He understood immediately that he and his compan ions 'would shortly be no muore unless t by tremendous, instant, individual exer- i tion they pulled for the shore. In that t treacherous current not one could help f another. How to get "these girls" i ashore without terrifying them and put ting them in still greater danger through their fears was the problem of that terrible moment The man solved it like a hero. He made a sign, a sound of personal dis tress and began swimming inshore. His companions in the waves heard and saw his white face. Both believed, as he meant them to, that he was threat ened with cramps and swain inshore, too, calling out cheerful, encouraging words to him as they pulled for the shore, assuring him that he wculd soon be all right; that they could get him in safely if he really should give out, and other words to that effect. It was not long before this man of mortal courage stood upon the beech in safety, and those he had thus rescued from death stood on either side of him and heard what it would have meant for them all to have spent another moment in that outrushing tide. It was a noncombatant in the strife for life who remarked: "That fellow was a great philosopher. He knew how to appeal to the new woman when swim ming her strongest against the old or der of things. He only offered his plea to the 'eternal womanly,' to woman's maternal need of taking care of the sc4 or the helpless. Those girls will prob ably always think it w as their own phys ical strength and powers that rescued them from death by drowning, but it was really the 'eternal womanly,' bent 6pon helping one they believed in dan ger =0 ;eed. "-Boston Transcript. He Ate Cabbage and Lived. Wonderful are the whims of the hu man stomach. What hills one man gives another life. One of the strangest cases of a craving for food on the part of a sick man is narrated by Mrs. Hazen in "Our Army Nurses." She was at the time (1864). nurse in the Columbian hospital at Washington. Among her pa tients was a "boy"-though he was a veteran of four years' standing-who had come to the hospital several months before with a wounded knee. This is her strange story: The surgeons had held many examir nations. He was failing rapidly; could not retain anything, even cold water causing hemorrhage of the stomach. "What is the verdict, doctor?" I asked one mornng. "He can live but a few days at the longest," was the answer, "and may die In a few hours." "Then, doctor, please let him have what he wants while he does live." "I give him into your hands, Miss Titus. Do what you please for him." The bandages were at once removed, as he had complained that they were uncomfortable. 'Then, as soon as the other patients were oared, for I went to -a market garden and bought a head of cabbage. He had often said he wanted him apme, with eider vinegar, and fed He ate all there was on the plate., asked for more, which was brough;, and still a third and fourth plate, till he had eaten the whole cabbage. .From that dinner, in May, he began to improve, and on the 14th of June _I started with him pn a stretcher for his home in Pennsylvania, as his life even then depended upon his diet, and such meals as he ate would have made a well man sick. He recovered, but had a stiff knee. L Tolstoi Answers Questions, An admirer of the great Russian ree cently wrote to him asking a reply to -these questions: Firs.-Ought a man of medium in elligence to express publicly and prop agate the principles of life which he considers to be truths? Second.-Is it worth while to try to know one's self perfectly? Third-By what principles can a man know at a decisive moment wheth er it is really his conscience which Sprompts him or whether it is only his Sreasonings corrupted by natural weak To the first two Tolstoi said "Yes." STo the third he replied that "reason is Sgiver to us by God, and therefore it must be listened to where conscience has to decide. "--New York World. Engilsh Versus Germuan Universities.

DAv] RHAE & DAVIS, A27TORYEYS A2 LAW, IOW SALT 18 MNEU. IETHODS EMPLOYED AT THE EXTEN SIVE WORKS IN MICHIGAN. 'he Supply of raw Material, Which I Brine, Is Practically ine::han-tible-The Industry Has Grown Euormou,&Y Siuce 1860, at Which Time It Really Began. The existence of salt springs in the t ow er peninsula of MNichigan was knownt o the Indians long prior to the advent if the white men in the country, and hey were resorted to Ly both Indians I ad wild animals. So well known was his fact of the presence of salt springs :hat the general government made nu nerous reservations of lands which were supposed to contain silt dpsit:. By :he act of admission of Mit igan into I the Unicn the state was authorized to I ;elect 72 sections of salt land, or land vbere the presence of saline springs in icated the occurrence of salt deposits. On the organization of the geological survey the state geologist, Dr. Douglas Eoughton, made an examination, with the view to the selection of these lands, and in 1838 reported the results of his bservations. Still these examinations were limited to surface indications, and no extended experiments were made to probe the coast far below the surface. However, f-erings were finally ainder taken in several localities, resulting generally in such a goca measure of suc Cess as to stimulate still further trials, developing such gratifying results, es pecially in the Saginaw valley, that in 1859 the first comppny was organized for the manufacture of salt, since which period this industry has reached its present stupendous proportions adding greatly to the wealth and reputation of the state and especially to the growth of the cities and the region in which the business is carried on. The origin of these deposits is not known. Whence the waters, lying so far beneath the surf:ace, derive their sa line property there is io apparcnt means of deterlnining, nor is the boundary of the surface known beneath which these deposits of brine may be found. The Michigan salt group has a wide extent in the state, though thus far the great est successes have come from the Sagi naw valley. Where the lowest horlzon is found in the salt group the brine is found to be the strongest, greatest in amount and best in quality. It is for this reason that sallt wells in the Sagi naw valley have proved to be more val able than elsewhere. It is the region in which the greatest depression cccurs. The salt group here lies at a depth reaching to more than 1,000 feet below the surface of the lake. At what depth below the surface of the lake this brine is found the writer is unable to state. Of one thing there is an apparent cer tainty, that the supply of the brine is inexhastibre. -The'exfent to which the manufacture of salt in Michigan may be carried on is one of cost and demand. The brine may be assumed as existing in quantity far in excess of our ability to diminish it. Of the two modes of securing the evaporation of the water, either by the application of solar or artincial heat, the latter is the method mainly resort ed to in the Saginaw valley. Solar evap oration is effected by exposing the brine in shallow wooden vats. Such vats as are used are about 18 feet square and 6 inches deep. They are supported on pests above the ground and are provided wvith a roof, which is readily moved on the vats or off from them to cover the brine from the rain or to expose it to gun in March and the contents removed in July, the product of the second fill ing is taken out the 1st of September, and the third and final removal occurs th last pf October. The annual product o'f a single sait vat of this size is 50 bushels. A kettle block contains 50 or CO ket tles, set close together and in rows in closed in stonework or brickwork. A lauder connects with a cistern kept filled with brine and runs aleng be tween the rows of kettles, and from tii launder tJ- brine is drawn out into the ketles by opening a lateral spout. When '70 per cent of the water has been boiled away, the salt is dipped out into a basket or sieve to allow the water to run out of it, after which it is emptied into a bin, where, after a suflcient time -about two weeks-it is ready to be put into barrels. But the greatest ad vance in the way of cheapening the cost of the salt production has been achieved by the use of steam to afford heat for evaporation. For this purpose the ex hust steam of the great mills in the Saginaw region is used, Pans are also made use of. A so call ed pan block, consisting of a "settler" pan, and packing room are inclosed in the same building. The brine is drawn from the settler into the pan, to the bet tm of which the fire is directly ap plied, making the evaporation very~ rap id and causing the salt to form continu The salt business in Michigan has swollen from the inanufacture in 1860 of 4,000 barrels to 3,'067,:286J in 1895. The estimated capacity of the l 13 irms now engaged in the iranufacture of salt in this state is 5,0.50,000 brels pe year. -Detroit Free Pres. Apprecited Scottii.

Ho be gan a speech with a Scotch story; but, jailing in giving the "awce'nt" with due emphasis, the story fell fiat, and the audience began to murmur. Th~e prac ticed orator changed his key and re smed in his natural and stentorian voice, "Gentlemen, I do not speak Scotch, but I vote Scotch." Tremnen dous applause followed, whereupon our Q.

AU Italian of the name of Rassoni, ho lives in Savannah, has two parrots rho sing in duet all the popular songs f the day. Rassoni raised the birds and began: arly to teach them to speak in Italian nd English. No thought was ever :iven to their musical education until hey began later to develop some ability o sing. Then Rassoni, being a musician if local note, began to teach them short mnd simnpb songs. They were apt and earned rapidly. In addition they caught he popular airs that were sung and tistled L srreet gamins, who never assed the house without stopping and inging to the parrots. It was not long before tho two birds ould carry an air with perfect case, in imne and with distinctness. Finally )oth began t sing together, and now :hey sing in duet with the finesse of rtists. The birds are male and female -Henry aid Polly. Henry has a voice between a mezzo soprano and alto, shile Polly's is a well modulated so prano of pretty high range. Both are stronger than one would imagine and possess volume and sweetness. With all their accomplishnients, however, Henry and Polly are like all parrots-they will never sing or talk when you are most anxious to hear them; you must await their pleasure and convenience. But for this perversion of their nature Rassoni would have already madc a for tune with them. The writer sat in the lobby of the Pulaski Bouse in Savannah and heard the parrots sing the famous piece, "Say Au Revoir, but Not Goodby." Orhcrs j peard. All- endeavored to locate the music.

No one was in tIh store at the time, and Henry and Polly gave a concert that was as ren:arkable as it was unique and enjoyable. Between the songs they would talk in Italian or English.

The sting ray, a m"embcr of the skate family, is a dangerous Juhabitant of ]'lorida waters. The largest specimens of the kind, weighing from 400 to 500i pounds, live at great depths and an) eldora found inshore, but rays from 30 to 40 pounds are often encountered near the land, and natives consider them to be fully as dangcrous as the cctopus or the much dreaded blue shark. The fish is a large, broad, flat bellied preature, with eyes of a golden tint, a sharp, spearliko app'endage at the end of the back and a long, slender tail that reminds one much of a blacksaake whip. This whip tail serves as a lariat withI which an enemy may first be lasscd. and then the barbed spine fiuishes the work by lacerating the viti in a frightful manner. The sting ray is a villainous creature from any point et view and has no friends jn this or anyj In the Atlantic ocean between the shores of the Bahama islands and the Florida coast there lives a strange crea ture known as the glaucus, or sea lizard. It is seldom if ever found near the land, but seems! to prefer deep water and a hot ~sea, especially where a strong cur rent exists. It is well known that this portion of the gulf Etream crowded in between the Bahamas and Florida is very rapid, and therefore the conditions so favorable to the sea lizard are here to be found to a greater degee than elh-e where in the known world.
