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.
