A HLisBAND’S REVENGE.
The most difficult thing in the world
for a woman to do is to get ready to go
anywhere. There is nothing a woman
will resent more quickly or fiercely than
an intimation that she may possibly
miss the train. Our friend, Brayfogle,
gives us an instance of this.
Bray was supposed to take the ten
o’clock train, as he was going to visit
some relatives in the country. Having
suffered on previous occasions for Inju
dicious suggestions, Bray thought that
for once he would let things take tlieiff
natural course. So he sipped his coffee
and ate his eggs on toast, while madan)
eurled and powdered, dancing attend
ance on the looking-glass continually
until she had at length completed some
mysterious and wonderful arrangement
at the back part of her head.
Then Bray sat by the stove for an hour
and read the morning paper, while mad-
ame still continued to get ready. At
last, just as he had reached the final par
agraph of news matter, and was begin
ning on the advertisements,' madame
tied her bonnet strings under her chin,
took one long, lingering loving look at
the image reflected in the glass, and
sweetly announced :
“Well, my dear, I’m ready.”
“Ready for what ?” asked Bray, in
well-affected astonishment.
“To go to the station, to be sure,” said
Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly.
“Oh,” said Bray, “I’d forgotten. Well,
madam,” continued lie looking at lite
watch, the “train has been gone thirteen
minutes. Just keep on your things and
you’ll be ready for the train to-morrow
morning.”
We draw a veil over what followed.
We are assured, however, that the next
morning Mrs. B. w.«s ready au hour
earlier than was really necessary.
A Lucky Dream.
It seems that dreams may be some
times made of better stuff'than is usually
supposed. The Fort Wayne Sentinel
wants us to believe this story : A gentle
man in that neighborhood had a eon who
was a clerk in Omaha, who wrote to bis
father that he had been robbed of $5,000
belonging to his employer, while return
ing from a collecting trip. Then the
father fell asleep and dreamed that he
was sitting at a table of a hotel in Oma
ha and overheard two young men talk
ing over tiie particulars of a robbery in
which they had been concerned, at the
same time counting the proceeds with
much exultation.
Learning (as he
dreamed) the number of their room, he
(still dreaming) consulted the register
and fixed their names in his memory.
He wrote to his son (having waked up)
to consult the register of the Omaha Ho
tel and to see if he found there the names
of John B. Nelson and James Frank In
scribed on its pages under the date of
November.
Finding the said names
there, the son caused the arrest of the
said men, when they confessed the theft;
$4,812 of the money was recovered and
the offenders are now in the penitentiary.
*Tis a strange case, and all wc have to
say of it is that “there are more things
in heaven and earth than are dreamed

Superiority of Oregon Wheat.
The subjoined paragraph, showing the
superiority of Oregon as a wheat-grow
ing country, aud describing a curious
test to which it is to be further submit
ted, is from the Willamette Farmer:
Some years ago, Mr. 0. Dickinson sent
to the Agricultural Departmental Wash
ington a fine sample of wheat raised by
himself. Some of the sample was sent
to a fanner in Maine, who planted it and
sent to the Department some of the
wheat produced. Now some of that pro
duced by the Maine farmer has been re
turned to Mr. Dickinson by the Clerk of
the Department, for the purpose of learn
ing whether Oregon can reproduce the
original plump grains from those shriv
eled, scrawny s|>ecimens from Maine.
Mr. F. G. Schwatka. on a recent visit to
the Department, secured the sample of
Maine wheat,' and has shown it to us.
An Oregon farmer would hardly consid
er such wheat worth harvesting. It will
make quite a point in favor of our soil if
these degenerated grains can be made
ashamed of themselves in one season.
