HE "DREAMED TROE."
Sow Professor Agassiz "Worked Ont, a
Scientific Problem.
The letters on sleep and dreams in
the Spectator remind me of a case in
the experience of Agassiz, and which
he* told me himself, though it is recorded, in his work on the American
fishes, says the Newark Call. He was
studying a fossil fish in the Jardin des
Plantes, but had never been able to determine the species to his satisfactfon.
After a time he dreamed h^ caught the
very fish and without difficulty determined the question, thinking as he
•woke from that dream that* he would
have no difficulty. But on returning
to the fossil something in the dream
had escaped him, and he could no more
determine the. species than before. The
next night he had the same* dream, and
again forgot the essential point. He
•then determined to take a pencil and
paper with him to bed and make his
note .as soon as he woke. The dream
came the third time, but to his surprise
on fully awakening he found the drawing made and lying on the table beside, with three bones displayed in it
which were not visible in the fossil
and when solved the problem. On returning to the Jardin des Plantes he
obtained permission of his friend, the
director, to chip away a scale of stone
which lay on the spot where the bones
were in the drawing, and found fhem
there as his drawing had given them.
It is thirty years since Agassiz told me
■the incident, but those who have access to his history of the North American "fishes will be able to read it in his
own words in the introduction, and
correct my version if my memory has
In any detail failed.

WASHING THE TIGER,
Hazardous Feat Performed by a Cossack
In Moscow.
A good story has been copied in the
papers from laa, France du Nord about
a Cossack, ignorant of the French language and equally ignorant of fear,
who was hired at Moscow by the lion
tamer Pezon to clean the cages of his
wild beasts. Their understanding or
misunderstanding was - arranged by
means of gestures and dumb show, as
that unfortunate Tower of Babel hindered intelligible speech between the
Frenchman and the Cossack, and Pezon thought that the man thoroughly
understood what he had to do. The
next morning the Tartar began his
new duties, entering with bucket,
sponge and broom, not the cage of a
tame beast, as his master had done,
but of a splendid untamed tiger which
lay asleep upon the floor. The fierce
animal awoke and fixed his eyes upon
the man, who calmly proceeded to wet
his large sponge, and, unterrified* to
approach the tiger. At this moment
Pezon appeared upon the scene and
was struck with horror. Any sound or
motion on his part would intensify the
danger of the situation by rousing the
beast to fury; so he quietly waited till
need should arise to rush to the man'3
assistance. The moujik, sponge in
hand, approached the animal, and perfectly fearless, proceeded to rub him
down as if he had been a horse or a
dog; while the tiger, apparently delighted by the application of cold water, rolled over on his back, stretched
out its paws, and purring, offered every
part of his body to the Cossack, who.
washed him as. complacently as a
mother bathes her infant. Then he
left the cage, and would have repeated
th<? hazardous experiment upon another savage from the desert had not
Pezon drawn him off with difficulty.
A Peculiar Accident
Last Friday morning a little child
was severely injured near Sheldon by
aD.Y&A. A. car. The child, a
mere baby of four years, was playing
around tbe track, and becoming tired
lay down between the ties where the
dirt had beeu washed out. The little
thing fell asleep and was only awakened by the sound of tha swiftly moving
car. The baby raised its head and on
the instant received a terrible blow,
from the cac fendii*. Medical aid was
at once summoned and it was found
that the child still lived, although its
condition was exceedingly precarious.
Absolutely no blame attaches to tho
motorman or conductor. The child
was very small and was completely
hidden between the two ties where its
lay. It was onlv when it raised It
head that the trainmen 'saw it, and
then the intervening' distance was so
short tf*.at 'it vy***,s absolutely impossible
to prevent the accident. The company
is doing everything in its power to
alleviate the sufferings.—^Register.
Preacnlnc
I think that the emphasis of .preaching is laid with increasing power upon
the vital and spiritual elements ot
religion. We bave already gained within*" our borders the battle, which may
be still waging in some other quarters, for needed liberty of thought and
speech. Biblical criticism and all set*
entitle investigations have room and
free play among ns. The conviction
grows and deepens among us that "all
knowledge and all truth are to minister to life. According to our Christian faith God is hoth light and love,
—Rev. Newman Smith.

A Singular Fact.
Thousands   of   People  have  Dyspepsia
and Don't Know it.
Dyspepsia is the cause of about nine-*
tenths of all.diseases. yet"in most cases
the wrong thing is treated and^the true
cause overlooked, sirpply because dys-
pepsialproduaessymptoms resembling
many of/fter diseases. A weak and diseased stomach causes heart trouble,
kidney disease, 'weak lungs, and nervous debility. The nervous system
cannot stand the wear and tear, unless
supported by well digested food.
Keep the stomach in good order with
Drake's Dyspepsia Cure and NeryeJRe-
storer and ne'ednot fear disease. The
reason why this remedy is unfailing in
the treatment of all stomach and nerve
troubles is because it is- designed for
these peculiar troubles only, being a
combined method treatment. A great
mistake is made by persons thus affl. -
ted in neglecting to treat themselves
at this season of the year, "thus the advantages of summer are neglected, believe thomselyes free, until, the inclem-
"ericy"of winter deprives them of proper exeroise, together with a change.of
diet,- when they find themselves worse
than i hey were the preceding year.
