A very striking incident in the life
of i>enV Grant was mentioned by nil
intimate friend: It related to the doli-
cato subject of ho\v the general popped

plighted their, troth was not one of
those ideal moonlight nights, nor wore
the staiis tvvinkliijg over lovers’ sighs,
but on a dark, stormy night in the
woods of MisStiUri. The lieutenant
was visiting his ariny comrade and
former classmate, FrouDent.
He liaddrivou into town in a buggy
with ills comrade's sister. The young
peoplo were on their way. homo. The
darkness had overtaken them. The
rain Bad fallen in torrents and the
roads were ankle deep with mud. The
lightning Hashed tmd 'the thunder
pealed out of the blackness of night
which followed. A swollen stream
and a frail,briqge;stood ip thojr way.
As they rouchda the .shot a sudden flash•
of electric liglrt fovcaled the terrors,of
the florid and tlio dangers of tho
bridge. Iii an instant, availing him
self of this moment of light, tho bravo
youug pfllcor urged the good steed
upon thequivering floorway. A dread
ful burst of thunder shook the very
foundations of the h&rth. The young
maiden, who had thus far bravely faced
tho terrors of ttye situation* stunned
by tho tremendous brash, grasped tho
unmoved liouteliant by nor side witli
affrighted force,
Tho bridge now began to yield to they
undermining action of the raging.tor
rent. As.it seemed to sink sway the
maid exclaimed iii her fears: “Oh, we.
ure lost.”- "Wo, Julia, 1* came a tender
reply from the heart full-of emotiGta
which beat in that brave young breast.

An Emperor's Dram.
During tho timo that Fjredoriok
William IT )vns at war with Franco,
and while his army avuh in a bud con
dition, lie dreamed one night that
three mice came into his foohi, of
which one was loan, another fat and
tlio third blind, Tho next morning
the king related thin dream to liia gen
erals and expressed the wish theft some
one would interpret for him.
Ono of tho generals replied that
there was a soldier in liis regiment
who was accustomed to Interpret
dreams. The king allowed tho soldier
to come and then told him his dream.
The soldier appeared very much
frightened, and begged to be excused
from interpreting this dream us lie
was afraid to offend his majesty.
The king, however, urged him, and
really wished to know the meaning of
this dream. Tlio soldier then explain
ed it thus: "The lean mouse signifies
the Prussian army, consumed with
hunger; tho fat mouso signifies tlio
army contractors, who enrich and fut-
ton themselves with the king’s money,
but the blind mouse signifies yourself,
who secs neither of the two.”
And whoever knows tho history of
that campaign is aware that tho Prus
sian Joseph interpreted correctly.—

Aloe for Babies.
Dr. Pablo Patron mentions in the
Peruvian journal La Cronica Medica
that a rabid dog having bitten u boy in
Ayacucbo, the boy. notwithstanding
that the wounds had been well cauter
ized, began in a few days’ time to show
unmistakable signs of having hydro
phobia; and one day, when no one
was watching him, he ran away into
the flelds ancl gathered some leaves of
the American aloe (agave Americana)
and sucked them. After this, the
symptoms of tho disease began to
abate, and the boy recovered. The
American aloe is very common iu

Ago of tile Species.
Although there is some relation bc-
tweed size and longevity, tho duration
of the period of growth and length of
life being, speaking generally, longest
in tho largest animals, there is no fixed
relation between* the two. Tho largest
organisms live the longest, some trees
reaching an ago of 6,000 years, and
some animals, as whales, several cen
turies. And, after the maturity is
reached, larger animals require longer
time to secure the preservation of the
species. The explanation of this, as
pointed out by both Leuckhart and
Herbert Spencer, is that “the‘absorb
ing surface of an animal only increas
es as the square'of its length, while its
size increases as the cube, and it’there-
fore follows that the longer an animal
becomes the greater will be the ’ diffi
culty experienced in assimilating any
nourishment over and above that
which it requires for its own needs,
and therefore the moro slowly will it
reproduce itself.—Longman’s.

The Wind 151 own to Meet a Storm.
When a gtorm is advancing, the
wind blows to meet it. Thus a wind
blowing from the east or southeast in
dicates the approach of a storm from
the west. When tho storm center has
passed, however, the Wind changes
and follows the storm. If a person
has a good barometer and a wind gage,
he can tell pretty correctly when a
storm is coming. Without the instru
ments the clouds may be watched, and
when seen to be moving rapidly from
the southeast, and there aPe indications
of the presence of much moisture in
tbe air, a storm is not far away.—Mon
