What could havo induced her to leave her'faraily to make a flying trip across the continent? “ Tho idea seemed preposterous. Still,, tp make assurance doubly sure, I -walked through tho train glancing at every fe­ male passenger. .My search was, of courso, fruitless, •' ’’ “ By accident I .looked at my avatoVi,- whoseT hands pointed to- 9:10. I had not changed it to mountain time, .con­ sequently the mysterious apparition had shown itself to me at. 9 o’ clock Chi­ cago time. , “ I passed a troubled night. The vision haunted me,” and sleep did not close my eyes for more than five or ten minutes at a time. Tho‘ apparition did not ap­ pear again, howover. “ In due time we arrived1 at- Omaha. My first cask was a walk to the depot telegraph office. As my mother, had enjoyed tho best of health at the, time of my departure from home, I addressed a message to her notifying her of. my1 safe arrival at Omaha. In two hours !' received a reply: ‘Mother died atnino .last evening. Como homo at once.'' “ Died at nine!

I had taken some large orders in the Mormon capital and was in excellent spirits. Alter supper two or three of mjr follow travelers proposed a game of eucbor, jin. which 1 took a hand. “ We might have boon playing two . hours or more when I felt—-or rather seemed to fool—the presonco of a friend. I.looked-around, hut could not see any one Xknow.. I asked my friends whether , they had seen any ofle approach me. As I bad,been losing game after game they lau&aecL Uproariously and turned my " question into a joke., “ A now hand was dealt and the play progressed. Tho uncomfortablo feeling which had possessed me a fow moments before seemed to leave me. 1 took a —new interest in the games and won two . or three times in Succession. I was c'on- Sfefcsing with the gentleman occupying the scat opposite thine and talking xather boastfully of the change in my 3uck when a Soft hand w&s laid on my •shoulder and 1 heard the voice of my mother saying; ‘George, I wan t yon.’ “ I’bavo never been superstitions,-and «on that evening I was perhaps freer from fancies than at any other period of may lifd. Still, when upon turning 1 not •only hoard the voice of my mother, but Actually saw,.hor form standing by my -Aide, her hand Vesting oil my shoulder, 1 -dropjpedmy cards and becatoe to awo- to oa “ Of course. I loft for Chicago‘on tho next train. On-’m'y arrival at home I learned that my mother was stricken with an. attack of apoplexy on the morning of her last day on earth. . To­ ward evening she'" partially recovered. All the family was gathered around her bedside excepting my-youngest'sister, Annio, and myself; At half past eight sho fell into a trance-like condition,: from which she recovered as the clock struck nine. She then looked at overy ono present, kissed her husband and children, and-with the remark; T have seen George and Annie,’ .expired. r (‘ *I- have j»o comments tomako o n ,tho connection existing botwoon tho/’vTsion in the railroad ‘car and' my lamented mother's trance.

On tho 17th of October T received a loiter from mother in which she, in­ formed me'of many things of personal interest, and added, in a postscript, that Tneed bo In no hurry to return as. her health had never been bettor. She spoke cheerfully of. domestic affairs, told about several Calls sho ' bad .made tho day bofore, and teased me not a little about a certain young - man who.,' as yon know, will soon he my husband. *Iy visit had been very pleasant, and immediately after reading tho let­ ter 1 informed my friend that 1 JSQSl&f -spend X local lire <'e',|,pany was to giyo an outdoor <’ ui'cqft, the last of tho season, On thOfpvcning of the ISUi. As early as o'clock a large crowd was gathered around the music stand, in tho'coiirt- house park, and at half past seven my friend suggested that wo walk down to1 the park, listen to the music and take a dish ol ico -cream, ‘which - was ' to be sorveddn tbtf*wide corridor of the court­ house. “ a ■ / “The suggestion mot tho approval of every one in the house, and a few min­ utes later wo bad joined the throng at tho court-house. Several gentlemen known to my friend asked permission to join our party and we wero soon enjoying ourselves to our hearts' content. “The music was really good, the band which furnished it having won several prizes at different contests; Tho mem­ bers of tho fire company, clad in bright red shirts, gaudy belts and flaming hel­ mets, went through their evolutions to the satisfaction of everybody. Enthusi­ asm grew loud on all sides and an invi­ tation to buy ice cream received a hearty response. “ Among those who entcrod the court­ house was our party. Wo filled one side of along table, and-as the gentlemen were very liberal in giving their orders it looked as though Wewouldoccupy our -seats for some time. ■ “ The conversation was general. Tho gentleman sitting next to me, a lawyer of Some note, related some of his ex­ periences in the backwoods counties of Indiana, and drew funny pictures of the typical Hooslcr and his peculiar ways until laughter drownod the remarks of the other speakers. “ I had a splendid time, Tho sur­ roundings were so novel to ono who Bad never spent arty length of time In a country community, and tho conversa­ tion, which brought me face to face.with mit the impatient oaller, who proved to bo the telegraph operator. , “ Tho. mossago he brought was for me. It said: ‘Mother died suddenly at nine this evening. Come homo at once.’ - “ I uttered a piercing cry and fainted in the hall.

Americans and Irish Enjoy It Hot* Fully Than Other Nationalities. A man died the other day of whom it was told, In all his obituary notices, that in his physical equipment there was this curious dofect, that he could not hear the sound of Sj or of the shrill notes. Ho ’would ho walking in the street with a policeman at night some­ times, and would see- the officer go through the motions of blowing a whis­ tle. The whole neighborhood might 'echo with tho shrill noise, hut not a sound would roach, him. That was had. but it was a mere bagatollo compared with another tiling that was the matter with him. The poor gentleman' had the Intellectual dofect of being uiiablo to see a joke, even when it took foipi in the newspaper of which ho was the ed­ itor. One day one of his reporters, in .describing an egg of extra size, men­ tioned that it had all boep^laid by cpie hen. Ho sent for tljat reporter next day and asked him if he-roally supposed ■that two hons could lay a'single egg be­ tween them. ■ ■ i ' ‘ That two inabilities so ouriouslyanal- ogous should .co-exist in the same per­ son. furnishes an almost irresistible op­ portunity for the construction of didactic" parallels, It is worth noting, that the unfortunate gentleman.- was at great pains to remedy his physical dofect and to obviate its consoquoncos, but his in­ tellectual—or would: you call .it' spiri tual —infirmity he seems not to have at­ tempted to cure. •It shows -how green •our civilization-, st.ll is, and bqw much the world has to learn, that'no treatment had been devised to remedy a defective'senso of humor. The ,deaf are taught to hear with thoir’eyes, the dumb are taught to speak with thoir lingers and to talk actually with ' their vocal organs. If tho blind have the least glimmer of light left to them the very utmost is made of it,-but the man who, can not see a joke gets mo help at all, and is exceptionally lucky-if he even meets with sympathy. Let us hopo it will not bo so much longer; but tha't by hypnotism, or Christian science, or some unexpected application of elec-, tricity, the seat of humor may be reached and quickened. Love is the great sweetener thabmakes living tolerable, and dying a good dbal more comfortable than most people/think; hut after love is thoro any ot^er corrective of exist­ ence that is fit to oomparo with humor? .It groasos the wheels sol ‘It makes'so many burdens endurable that must havo beon crushing without it! - - And if the lack of it is detrimental to any: one, it .is so .above all, others to an American. -It will n oU » sotiously dis­ puted that Amoricanh-'havc tho sense of humor more generally developed than any other pooplo (unless it is the Irish); hut of all poople they need it most, for tho wear and tear of American llfo is prodigious', and the host friends of tho Atpcrican climate do not vaunt it as a 1 conservator of energy. „ Irish humor owes its development,- perhaps, to a prejtracted- scarcity of the means of itiaterial enjoyment. Whore people can not find pleasure in what they pos­ sess, or)what,they consume, it behooves them tp-have what fun they may with what they think and say. And that tho Irish do; as witness Mr. Frodorio’s ro- port of a. remark of Baron Dowse, who died last month, that it is better to have a small caeoer • in Ireland than a great one in England; . boenuso wben ono said funny things prebonded . them, and tlioft worth l,ivi«g., Of^onrse, when humor limits, and lrom being an a existence ,bocomos its oni savor and ceases to bo of. in Ireland people eom- mado lifo pvorflows its id to serious It lososito uso. It is no longer humor tbon, but something coarser and material. It is not tho groase on tho whools any more, but th.o load on tho wagon.. It Isjyjth humor^as it Is with piety—It is-liable to degener­ ate into self worship, an.4 then it is all up with’ i t / “ Vofy great is tho differ­ ence,” sovoroly says Noah Portor, “ whether wo boo through the disguise, the look of which tho frivolous Bohemi­ an can never rid -himself) or tho broad, swimming eyes of lovo with which Hood always looked through all his fun, pr the sad earnestness ‘ into which Lamb relaxed us soon as ho had stammered’ out his joke or his pun.” Very great tho difference, truly. The Publican may have hrought his sense of humor with him when he came out of the temple, but the Pharisee didn't His was lost; humor is inconsistent with his frame of mind,—Scribner's Magazine. —No product of this last decade of the nineteenth century has,changed more completely than the- old maid, thinks tho New, York Press. The modern old maid always looks a great deal younger than she is.

Brain workers certainly need phos­ phates; it is impossible to do brain work without them. About a drachm a day is required. . Now as to best kinds, none of those which are advertised so widely, but phosphates which nature prepares in the various grains and in peas, beans, eta Nature servos phosphates ih a manner which can be assimilated. Prof, Wringer, eminent authority in materia medica in England, says that mineral phosphates aro absorbed with great difficulty at best and only one grain out of a dose of twenty grains. But it is doubtful if* unorganized mineral sub­ stances can be appropriated at all, and if they aro, thoy are many times more expensive than food phosphates. A bottle of phosphates costing a dollar dobs not contain as much phosphates as are found in a pound of oatmeal at five cents. So the best way to take a (lose of phosphates is to take an extra whole wheat wafer or an extra slice of graham broad or an extra spoonful of m meal mush.
