BIio Always Appeared to Announce) an Ap. proaclilnK Death In tlio l'auillj- She Wai Probably a Servant Who Tlad Been Foul, ly Dcnlt With In Ancient Days. "Everybody laughs In theso days at tlio old story of tho Irish banshee," Bald a gcutleman of national reputation late ly as ho chatted with n friend or two in tho ofllco of tho Continental, "and I nm not saying but that it was but a su perstition after nil, though thero is n littlo thing connected with my family that is a strango coincidence, to call it oven that. "Once, when I was a boy, I woko up during tho night weoping bitterly, and when my mother canio to my bedsido I told her that I had dreamed that a quecr ly dressed old woman had como to me under a largo oak treo and had warned mo thatmy brother Leonard, who was my sonior by soveral years, was going to dio very soon. I noticed then that instead of ealming my fears my mother libtened to mo without saying a word, and pres ently I saw that she, too, was crying as hard as I was. I asked what was tho matter, and though she put mo off I did not forget the strange effect on her that my dream had produced. "It could not have been a week after that that my brother camo in ono after noon from school and said ho was going to join a party of young people in a sleighing excursion to tho next town. My mother was very unwilling for him to go and confessed to all sorts of nerv ous fears, very uuliko her usual calm and self reliant self, but my brother insisted and at last went off, followed by my mother's anxious eyes. Within three hours wo received a telegram say ing that ho had been killed by tho horses attached to tho sleigh becoming fright ened, and, running away near a railroad hack had thrown my poor brother un der tho wheels of a train. "When his mangled body came home, my mother met it, saying to her sister, who was visiting at our houso -for tho day: 'I know it, Fanny. H. here saw her tho other night, ' and for a long timo I wondored who tho 'her' referred to could be. I was nearly grown when I again saw tho old woman of my boy hood dream. I was about to graduato at our homo university and was studying hard for tho final examinations and was sitting up lato ono night reading over somo questions in mental philosophy when I dropped off to sleep in my chair. "Then I dreamed of standing once more under a largo oak treo, which was particularly marked about tlio bark by a ring about threo feet abovejtho ground. Hero I was, facing an old woman in a servant's dress of tho thirteenth or four teenth century, I should judge, and this old woman was telling mo that I would seo my father no moro in life. I was a good deal worried over this dream, re membering my former ono and its trag io scquenco, but had ceased to think of it in tho hurry and anxiety of tho ex aminations, when ono day old Professor B. called to mo as I was passing from ono classroom to another and asked, 'EL, isn't your father in Switzerland?' "I replied that he was, for his health had failed so alarmingly for months past that ho had been ordered abroad and had been rapidly getting well in the mountains of Switzerland. He had recently joined tho English party in an expedition to Mont Blano and had writ ten in fine spirits regarding tho trip. Professor B. said no more, but I camo across in a fow minutes a newspaper containing an account of an American who had been killed by falling down a crovasse in tho Swis3 Alps. "No particulars were known or given by tho paper, but I knoW oh, yes, I know that the American was my father, and so it proved. I told my widowed mother of the strange coincidence of my second dream, and she replied that tho warning would never fail; that it had gone with her through her life, and that her mother had told her that this strango phantom had also given her warning of every disaster sho had experienced. The old woman, whoover sho was, was al ways accompanied in her missions of woo by tho oak treo marked as I have said. Tho wholo thing is a mystery to ns, but it is true, every word of it. "If tho thing is something supernat ural, nono of us has any idea who tho woman could have been or why sho came like a bird of ill omen to prophesy ovil to a plain American family, sans castle, sans legends, sans romance. And I, for one, am particularly interested in why tho oak treo should have como down to us in connection with the ghost I would somehow hnto to think that some doughty ancestor of mino had, after the playful littlo manner of tho good old times, put somo faithful servant to death in a way in which an oak treo took a prominent part, but I should not bo sur prised if ho did; indeed I have a sneak ing belief that that is tho true explana tion of tho wholo thing, though I am sorry that samo servant is so unforgiv ing as to take it out on mo by bringing mo bad news, which, if sho'd only wait long euongh, would reach mo with pro Terbial rapidity.

A gentleman livn ,r in a metropolitan Buburb was strolling down ono of its Btrects when ho cam.' by i banco across a couple n man and a w'mau whom ho immediately recognized as having been his fellow pascnjers in a steamer crossing tlio channel. His reminiscences were not of a particularly ngrccablo na ture, for ho lost no timo in getting them arrested. Tho talo which ho unfolded to tho polico commissary was as follews: Tho steamer had hardly left tho Eng lish port en routo tothoshoiosof Franco when ho and about CO other companions in misery were soiled with nil the symptoms of mal do mer. Tho only trav eler who seemed exempt from Buffering was tho man who had been arrested. Ho paced tho deck with tho utmost com placency, now and then taking from a bonbon box a lozcugo, which ho swal lowed with apparent satisfaction. The woman in whoso company ho was met in Paris acted on tho steamer as if sho was a perfect stranger to him, and sho seemed indeed to bo tho greatest victim of them all. So iutenso was her suffer ings that tho man walked up to her and offered her ono of tho lozenges, declar ing that they wero a sovereign remedy against seasickness. Sho took One, and in the courso of a few minutes said that sho was completely cured, and soon her follow passengers behold her discussing with considerable relish a plato of sand wiches, washed down by a bottlo of stout Ono after tho other they bogged tho possessor of tho marvelous lozenges to favor them with ono. "It so happens that I am tho inventor," ho replied, "and as I have a few boxes with mo I Bhall bo most happy to obligo you with them at tho rate of 20 francs each." Tho unlucky passengers, whose misery had in tho meantime rather increased than otherwise, enthusiastically wel comed tho offer, and soon all tho boxes wero sold, tho gentleman from tho sub urbs being tho purchaser of one. But somehow tho lozenges had no ef fect Not ono of tho buyers was to bo Been calling for stout and sandwichos, and tho wholo party did not get to tho end of their troubles until they were onco moro safely on terra firma. The suburban gentleman had tho lozenges analyzed, and they wero found to bo or dinary jujubes. Chanco had thrown the couplo in his way, and ho told tho po lico commissary that ho was quite sure that they had acted this comedy for the purpose ot getting money out of their fellow passengers. Tho man and tho woman both declared at first that the suburban ono must havo mistaken them for another couplo, but afterward they made a full confession. Oddly enough they had gone to tho suburb to inspect a houso which they had thought of buy ing with tho proceeds of tho salo oi many boxes of jnjubo lozenges in nu merous passages across tho silver streak whou tho stormy winds did blow. Paris Cor. London Telegraph. Four Years In o Unruer Shop. "It is rather n curious fact," said a prominent local railroad man who sports a luxurious Ix-ard, "that ono of tho fow occasions of my going to church in ro cent years is responsible for my growing this beaid. Tho minister happened in tho courso of his sermon to say that a man spent a third of his timo in bleep, and that ono living to tho ago of three score and ten would pass 23 years in slumber. As tho sermon was not a par ticularly interesting ono, my mind wan dered away from it, and 1 began calcu lating how much of one's lifo would bo spent in a barber's shop. Allowing a reasonable timo for waits and for tho actual process of shaving daily, I soon discovered that in tho years left to me, if I should attain tho patriarchal ago of 70, 1 would spend at least four in a barber's shop. Think of itl Con demned to four years in a barber's shop I That settled it, and although that was 10 years ago I havo nover been shaved since. " Philadelphia Record. Keep Accounts. Keeping household accounts is an af fair, if not of necessity, still of tho great est wisdom. In comparison with the small amount of timo and labor which tho doing bo employs, tho satisfaction of knowing, at tho end of each year, how the family funds havo gono is tho amplest compensation. Ono especial sat isfaction gained from tho keeping of household accounts is tho ability, when or if tho necessity arises, to reduce ex penditures on tho outlay for luxuries and unnecessaries. Tho monoy spent for food, for medicines or for fuel is capa ble of far less reduction than that ubed for amusements, for wages or for cloth ing, and a system of accounts which will show at onco where expenses can bo lessened is entitled to respectful con sideration. Philadelphia Times. To Clean Furniture. Cherry and mahogany furniture can bo cleaned in tho following way to look almost like new: Dissolve a small lump of common wasting soaa in somo very hot water.

It seems n difficult undertaking to ac cept tho theory that granite, glass and precious stones, not excepting diamonds, are composed of independent particles that aro continually in exceedingly rap id motion. Theso active molecules are said to rotate and swing around a oon tral point with such forco and rapidity that they constitute, to all intents and purposes, a solid mass. Upon being di vided they whirl around a now center as rapidly as before, tho molecules passing a given point somo millions of times in a second of time. This theory would at first glanco seem incompatible with the woll understood belief in tho hardness and impenetrability of tho diamond, but this is easily explained. Tho almost incalculable rato of speed drives tho at oms against tho drill or cutting edgo that seeks to penetrate it and dulls it without permitting it to mako tho slight est impression. On this theory it ap pears that glass cutting is merely tho bringing together of two bodies consist ing of molecules moving at different ve locities. As a matter of courso, tho most powerful atoms break up tho Eof ter ones, and so this operation is merely a war of particles, in which tho superior forco is triumphant. New York Ledger. Sleepless nnd Voracious Larra. Professor Lintner, New York's state entomologist, is of tho opinion that the larva) stago of many species of insoots is ono of sleepless aotivity, tho grub feeding incessantly from the "moment of its birth. " Ho says that it is doubt ful if somo species over sleep or toko a moment's rest. The voraciousness and rapid growth of theso creatures may be better understood by making a statement of two facts: A certain flesh feeding larvro which simply means tho infant state of a carrion beetle, whose soicntiflo iiamo would bo of no particular interest to readers of Tho .Republic will con sume in 24 hours 200 times his own weight, a parallel to which in the hu man race would bo an infant consum ing 1,500 pounds of nutriment on tho first day of its existence I Thero aro veg etable feeders caterpillars which, during their progress to maturity, in creasoinsizo 10,000 times during tho first 30 days of thoir lives. To equal this remarkablo growth a maturo man would weigh scarcely less than 50 tons I St Louis Republic. The Dutch System. Professor Peabody, who gives in The Formn somo facts concerning tho Dutch system, says thero ore no great poor houses and few ablebodied paupers in Holland. Thero is a tract of publio land containing 5,000 acres. It is divided into six model farms, and to one of theso is Bent the poor person applying for publio rolief. If ho voluntarily serves till ho learns agriculture, he is allowed to rent a small form for him self and bo what is called a free farm er. Every pauper who is thus reclaimed to honest, regular industry is so muoh gain to tho state. Thero is also a forced labor colony, whero beggars and va grants aro sent and mado to do farm and other work, whether they want to or not. Editorial Remarks.

Two heroes in humble lifo Friday even ing bared their bodies to the surgeon's knife at the Samaritan hospital and al lowed Dr. Littlo to take as much skin as he needed to save the life of Henry Mill man, 44 years. The names of the two men are Joseph Connell, 28 years, and William Fricke, 28 years. This was the second Bkin grafting on Millman. Eight weeks ago Henry Millman was ceriously burned by falling on a stove in a shanty at Eighth street and Alleghany kwenue. For a time his lifo was despaired of. He partially recovered, but a surface of about 140 square inches on his body was almost burned to a crisp. As the ulcers did not heal, tho doctors decided to graft new skki over this large Burface of Millman's body. Tho sufferer's younger brother, John Millman, 28 years, volunteered to havo as much skin taken from bis thigh as was needed to cover the sore on his brothers side and breast. About 00 square inches were required, and a week ago the skin, from jonn iuuiman's tnign was grattea on his brother's sido. Speaking of the skin grafting, Dr. Les ter said that it was the biggest thing of the kind ever done in the hospital, and as the Injured man's side was healing there was ground for belioving that tho second grafting wonld be a success, Friday evening 20 square inches of skin were taken from tho left thighs of Connell and Fricke, 14 inches being cut from Fricke and 0 from Connell. Tho skin was transferred from the blade of a carver by which it was removed direct to Millman's body, on which is an exposed place of about 70 square inches. Con nell and Fricke seemed quite cheerful while their skin was being removed. Bojh said that they were ready to sub mit $o a further skinning whenever Dr. Little chose to complete the operation.

It is astonishing what a rage thero is for imitations. Great men have long been so slavishly imitated by thoir in feriors that tho copyists begin to fancy thoy are better than the originals.
