Fog Filters In London.
“All London public buildings are
now erected with fog filters,” said an
architect. “They are essential. Lon¬
don’s yellow brown fog, made of the
smoke of a million soft coal fires,
smells of sulphur, irritates eyes and
throat and causes headache. It pene¬
trates houses. Waking on a winter
morning, you can’t see across your
bedroom for it. So now all public
buildings filter it. The nir is drawn in
one orifice only, and fans hurl it
against curtains of cotton six inches
thick. It is forced through these cur¬
tains. It comes out on the other side
for distribution through the various
rooms a fairly clean, pure, transparent
air. But the white filter curtains!
ery day they must be changed. It
takes only an hour to gray them, and
by nightfall they are as black as ink.”
There Is always reason in the man
for his good or bad fortune —Emerson.

A WARNING DREAM.
The Vision Lincoln Saw Several Times
In His Sleep.
Napoleon believed devoutly in
dreams as warnings or even as fore¬
casts of what was to come, and even
he who most prides himself upon his
freedom from superstition knows of
or has experienced at least one dream
that cannot be explained as a mere
result of overfeeding.
When we contemplate dreams and
their ramifications science can help us
but little in ibeir explanation. Wilkie
Collins showed this to be so in one of
his most ingenious novels, “Armadale.”
Warning dreams or premonitions may
be the result of natural laws which
we do not understand.
Lincoln was not counted supersti¬
tious because he had some confidence
in the prophetic character of one
dream, at (east, for it visited his sleep
on several occasions, and he spoke of
it seriously to members of his family
and to his closest friends. In telling
of this vision he said be seemed to be
in “a singular, indescribable vessel,
but always the same, moving with
great rapidity toward a dark and in¬
definite shore.”
The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy of the
presidential chair, notably before the
battles of Antietam. Fredericksburg
and Gettysburg.
Ou the morning of tlie memorable
14th of April he informed members of
his cabinet that he had dreamed this
same thing the night before and be¬
lieved that they were on the threshold
of some momentous issue. So im¬
pressive were his remarks that his
auditors were profoundly moved, but
no seer among them could read the
warning aright and foresee the awful
news of his assassination which should
be flashed that night to a stunned and
j horrified people!—Philadelphia Ledger.
| Consideration.
The only true source of politeness is
consideration — that vigilant moral
sense which .ever loses sight of the
rights, the claims and the sensibilities
of others. This is the one quality over
all others necessary to make a gentle¬
man.—Simms.
And Went.
“When I leave you tonight”— began
Mr. Stoplate.
“Goodness!” interrupted Miss Ter
sleop. “Are you coming again tonight?”
He glanced at the clock and appre¬
hended her meaning.—Exchange.

BAIT FOR ALLIGATORS.
The Way a Mexican Indian Gathers In
the Ugly Beasts.
A Finto Indian of eastern Tabasco
adopted a novel method of catching
alligators. The Indian’s weapons were
a harpoon, a stout club and a coil of
tarred lariats. For bait he used a
sucking pig. a box of something which
smelled offensively and several chunks
of half roasted meat.
Selecting an overhanging bough
about six yards from the water’s edge,
the Indian stripped off its leaves and
suspended from the fork th squealing
pig. That was the bait for the eyes
and ears of the alligator.
Opening the box, he used its offen¬
sive contents to grease a string, one
end of which he tied to a bush, and,
weighting the other with a piece of
wood, threw it into the river. That
was the nose bait.
Between the thicket and the water’s
edge was a long sand dam, capped
with a row of gnarled logs. Taking
the chunks of meat, he placed them
at equal intervals between the beach
and the ridge of the dam. “This is
my grub bait,” said the Indian. “It
will make him mount the barreea”
(barricade).
Stimulating the pig with a kick that
caused it to squeal for the next ten
minutes, the Indian waited in ambush,
harpoon in hand. One end of a long
lariat was fastened to it and the other
to a tough elastic sapling. The sun
had set and it was growing dark when
a dark object was seen to rise slowly
from the water and sprawl up the dam.
The first chunk of roast bait was gob¬
bled.
“He’s Smacking his chops!” chuckled
the Indian. “It’s the same one eyed
old sinner that owes me two pigs, but
lie’s going to pay his debts.”
Gobbling the second chunk, the alli¬
gator crawled on, swallo%ving the third,
and at the sight of the hanging pig
stopped and glared. Suddenly he
pushed forward and fell into a sandy
hollow behind the dam.
Instantly he turned and headed for
the dam. Up sprang the Pinto and
hurled the harpoon through his scaly
hide. “I got you this time!” he shout¬
ed.
Jerked back by the tension of the
lariat, the alligator made the leaves fly
with his switching tail and would have
snapped the rope if the elasticity of
the sapling had not broken the force
of his spring as he plunged forward
again and again.
Seizing the club and jumping around
the floundering prisoner, the Indian
dealt him a whack across the head that
laid him sprawling on his back. Three
more blows, and the alligator had paid
his debt.—New York World.
Not Her Fault.
“It Is the duty of every man and wo¬
man to be married at the age of twen¬
ty-two.” satd the lecturer.
“Well,” said a woman of thirty with
some asperity, “you needn’t tel. me
that. Talk to the men.”—Philadelphia
Ledger.
An Odd^Old Custom.
When a new associate of the Royal
academy is elected some of the acade¬
my models dash off with the news, and
the first to arrive with the glad tidings
at the b«use of the fortunate artist is
by custom rewarded with a guinea. It
says much for the honesty of artists’
models as a class that no case is known
of one of them having obtained this
guinea by false pretenses from some
obscure and wealthy amateur.—London
Punch. __
Getting a Line on Prospects.
“Sir, I have a very personal business
proposition to make to you, but before
approaching that would you care to
tnuke a statement of your financial
condition?”
“Certainly. I have been established
in this business for more than twenty
five years, my yearly income is well
into the hundreds of thousands and
constantly Increasing, I have unlimit¬
ed credit and also have real estate
valued at a couple of millions. Go
ahead!”
“That Is quite satisfactory. Now,
may I ask for the hand of your daugh¬
ter?”—New York Herald.
