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. Hayslon News. Mrs. R. L.

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.

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.

Go ahead!” “That Is quite satisfactory. Now, may I ask for the hand of your daugh¬ ter?”—New York Herald. (f.
