A VIVID DREAM.
Bo BoodoA It, too, sad Had the Mustard
Piaster When Needed.
“I had a dream onoe that I died from
pneumonia, ” said a woll known southern
man who had a very creditable record as
mi officer in the Confederate army to a re
porter. “It was one of those persistent
dreams that I could not shake off. While
under Its influence, I think I suffered as
Intense pain as I afterward did when I
had a real case of pneumonia. The dream
so controlled me that I spoke about it to
the members of my family, to the exclu
sion of almost everything else, for several
days. In a few weeks the war broke out,
and with the young men of my section of
, North Carolina I entered the Confederate
army as a private, though I held a com
mission when the war ended.
“When the day came for me to leave my
home, my mother, who had packed up
about everything I thought I should need,
much of which I had to drop by the way
side soon after, asked mo if there was
! anything else that I could think of that I
) would need. In an apologizing kind of
way I said yes, that I would like a box of
mustard for use in case I over got pneu
monia, such as I dreamed of, for I forgot
’ to say I dreamed that after I was dead a
mustard plaster on my side cured my
pain. When I looked into my knapsack,
I found it so full of stuff that I oould not
find a place for the box of mustard, and I
’ thought I would have to leave it.
“That night I started out to gonquer the
whole Yankee army, and just as I was
l about leaving the door of my house a pain
struck me in my sidd, exactly the place af
fected in the attack of pneumonia from
i wbUh I had dream death. It passed
off in an instant, not, however, until I had
asked my mother if she had found a place
I for the mustard. She told me she oould
I not find space in my knapsack, but that'
she had sewed up a bundle of mustard in
a parchment bag in the lining of my over
i coat. I carried that overcoat four years
and had felt the mustard sewed up in the
breast lining hundreds of times, but never
supposed I would have to use it.
“It was four years to a day from the
date of my enlistment when I was taken
Bick, and with me a man in my company,
‘ for by that time I was an officer. We were
i bundled off to a field hospital, neither one
of us having any idea what was the mat
ter with us. That night the doctor, the
' surgeon of the South Carolina regiment,
. visited Us. He told us bluntly that we
were suffering from pneumonia and that
the chances were all against us. ‘lf I
could put a mustard plaster on you, I
could save you both,’ ho said; ‘but, as you
‘ know, mustard is a rare possession in this
part of the south now—a grain of it equal
ing in value a grain of gold, and scarce at
that.’ '
• “All of a sudden the lining of my over
coat came to my mind, and I asked if my
coat was handy. I was told it was, and
in a few moments the doctor had it ripped
open. Mixing it up with some bad bran,
he divided it up at my request into two
plasters, and my comrade and myself
nave been able to eat three square meals
every day since, barring the remainder of
the war, when we were rather high toned
apd only indulged in one regular meal a
day and ate the rest in our minds. Though
pneumonia killed me in my dream, the
same dream furnished mo with the am
munition which baffled death when he at
tacked us. My mother went to heaven
without knowing that the bag of mustard’
she sewed in my coat saved my life and
that of my comrade.”—Washington Star.
Th* Swamp Cabbage as a Cat Hower.
The swamp cabbage (Symplocazpus
feetidus) has generally been regarded as a
sort of joke among spring flowers, al
though there are those who hail with
pleasure the appearance of its purple
streaked hoods in the bogs of late winter.
The general public has been rather inclin
ed to turn up its nose at the humble plant
and its flowers. That it is by no means
undeserving of a place, however, in the
spring bouquet was made manifest this
season to the writer, who saw cut speci
mens of it set in vessels of water in at
least two windows fronting on business
thoroughfares in Philadelphia.
The cuttings had been made at a point
six or eight inches below the base of the
spathe and so as to include both flower
ing and leaf stalks. The effect was really
striking and picturesque, the rich colors
of the hood standing out boldly against
the green background of the great open*
Ing leaves in away that must have ar
rested the attention of all that looked in
the windows.—Meehan’s Monthly.

clothing during war time. Well, we just gave them a check to show who
got the goods; now, you come and give us your name and get all the Cloth
