The third Lord Waterford was
able to verifyva story of an extraor-
dinarv dream eoming true. Talking
one day with the landlord of the
inn in the village clone to Curragh-
more, a man rushed no and mid
there had been a murder on the
hills. “Then it must be the little
onq,” said the landlord, at which
Loid Waterford, not unnaturally,
became very suspicious. The land­
lord proceeded to explain that in
the night he dreamed that two men
had come to the inn and that the
taller of the two had murdered the
shorter with a vary curious knife.
He told his dream to his wife,
who laughed at him. But, to his
horror, tne men he had teen while
asleep came to the inn, and one
used the curious kniffe to cut up his
food. They left, and soon after­
ward news of the murder arrived.
Search was made for a tall man an­
swering to the landlord's descrip­
tion, and one was quickly arrested.
In prison he confessed he had mur-
dered hia abort companion.—Pear­
son’s Weekly.

The word “humbug” had its ori- •kitchen ng there on the edge of In addition colored

as follows: Among the many is­
sues of- base coin made from time
to time in Ireland there was none to
worthless as that made by James
II. at the Dublin mint. It was
made of whatever metal was the
easiest to get, lead, copper, pewter
or brass, and so low was its in­
trinsic value that 90 shillings of it
eras worth only twopence sterling.
The soft mixed metal of which that
worthless coin was composed was
known to the Irish as “uimbog,”
pronounced oombbg, meaning soft
copper or worthless money. Thus
the phrase “humbug” originated by
a person saying: “Tnat is a piece of
aim-bog.” “Don’t try to pass off
your uim-bog on me.”—Exchange.

The "Third Degree* In Japan.
.
Medieval torture for securing
confessions from criminals ia, it
seems, dung to by random polie
men in Japan, although distinctly
against the law. It ia recorded in
the daily papers that two Japanese
detectives, Jihei Fujikura and Ku-
mataro Takedo, who extorted a
false confession of murder from So-
suke Komori by means of torture,
were each sentenced to three
months’ imprisonment in the Yoko­
hama district conrt recently. They
were given one year’s postponement
of the execution of the sentence.
After being imprisoned for many
months Komori, the victim of .the
overzealous “bulls,” waa recently re­
leased.—East and West Newt.
h alt See Superstitions.
Iceland fishermen considered
sneezing a sign that some evil was
about to happen to the ship and
used to salute the man who had
sneezed to atone for his act.' Spit­
ting to the windward, which if un-
seamanlike for a very obvious rea­
son, was also considered as a sign
of ill omen. A reasonable explana­
tion for this superstition is that no
ship was safe as long as ahe had
members of her crew who were ao
ignorant in such an elementary
principle of seamanship. Chinese
sailors consider it good luck to cross
the bows of foreign ships, and in
seeking good fortune cause a great
deal of trouble in narrow channels
and congested waters.
Qlaaa Raam In a Hospital.
The hospital of the Hebrew In­
fant asylum in New York contains
a room built entirely of glass. It ia
divided into twelve compartments,
each having glass -tides, through
which the nurse can see tbs baby at
all times without going in. Each
compartment is ventilated sepa­
rately, states the Southern Hospital
Record. A child having a com­
municable disease can be cared for
in one of these little compartments
without spy possibility of infecting
the baby in the next one, although
it may be only three feet away, and
the children smile at each other
through the glasa.

house there that the stable clock,

tory would instantly give the ordor
