THE GAINESVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY JUNE 18, 1902, Him ana waiter lor liim to awalcen. After a few moments a sleigh pass ed by on the street with ringing bells. As the first tones of the bells reached the room the sleeper awoke. “Doctor,” he said, “I am so glad that yon awakened me, for I had a terrible dream that,lasted for sev eral hours. I dreamed that 1 was sick and that my little brother Rob came into the room with a string of the most horrible sounding bells and rang them in my ears. I could not move or speak to him. The dream seemed to last for so. long a time, and I am so glad that you awakened me.” A" ringing of those bells for one second, had caused all of that dream and just at the waking moment. A Trick With an Egg. Make a little hammock of muslin, to be suspended by four threads, and after having soaked this in salt water and thoroughly dried it place in it an eggshell, which has been emptied bv a blowpipe through a hole drilled in the side. After the supposed egg has been satisfactorily shown to be in the hammock beyond all doubt set the whole affair afire at both ends and the bottom. With in a moment the hammock and its supports will be consumed, but, wonder of wonders, the egg lies on a swinging bridge of ashes high above the floor! This curious little semiseientific experiment has been performed on a gigantic scale in one of the Lyons theaters, where a manilla hammock and an asbestus baby were used.— St. Louis Republic.

Roosevelt Roundly Scored. Washington, June 14 —Grover Cleveland, m the height of his unpopularity at the capitol, was not more rouudiy abused by bis party than Theodore Roosevelt is being by some Republicans of the senate and house.

There must be a leader, some one who is “pretty good in geography” and is capable of doing some quick thinking himself. Any number of players may take part in the game. When all are seated, the. leader takes his place in front of them and tells them that he is goingtogive them the name of a state and a letter of the alphabet and is then going to count five slowly. While he Is counting five all the players must be trying to think of a city or town in the state he called whose name begins with, the given letter. For example: Suppose lie gives Maine as the state and F as the letter, then the players must all try to think of a city or town in Maine the name of. which begins with the letter F. It is necessary for them all to do the thinking, for he has a right to ask any one. of them for the answer, and they nev er know which one of them it is go ing to be. When he has received a correct answer, he may ask another player to name some other town beginning with the same letter, or he may change the letter two or three times. Then he names some other state and continues the game as long as it interests the players. If the game is played at home or by a little company of boys and girls, a prize should be offered for most, correct answers. — New Sometimes he’s a brave young soldier. With a R£per cap on his head.
