CONCERNING DREAMS.
"hey. Occupy Only a Few Seconds and Are
Affected by Events.
Doctors assert that dreams occupy a
few seconds only at most the space of
about three minutes. Thi3 statement
la startling to those who have not no
ticed for themselves what part time
plays in such a connection. The writer
has had several opportunities of prov
ing its correctness herself, and many
might arrive at a similar knowledge hy
caking to be awakened a minute or so
after falling into a first sleep. All who
dream will do so immediately on fall
ing into unconsciousness. Another reli
able test is to be found in the sleep that
follows upon the morning summons for
rising. A few more moments snatched
for the tempting after doze will not un
frequently mean a dream of a vtry dab
orate nature one which, implies aimcst
as many hours as seconds.
Aro dreams affected by the events of
onr wakeful hours? is the question that
has been asked over and ovtr again, but
the result of observation leads one to be
lieve in such being the case or not, ac
coidiug to the importance with which
we treat them. In connection with such
a question events and individuals can
scarcely fail to require separate consid
eration. Events that are all important
to some do not commend themselves in
that light to others, and this fact leads
one to express the opinion that, accord
ing to the intensity with which outward
events occupy our thoughts, will our
dreams be in anyway affected by them.
To one woman the exercise of hos
pitality means the entire surrender of
her mental domain to all the worries,
real or imaginary, consequent upon the
preparations for the contemplated en
tertainment. To another, the needful
directions once given, there is an imme
diate return to considerations which out
weigh in her opinion the more material
ones that held a whilom place in her
thoughts. In the one case culinary fail
ores and visions of indifferent service
will probably haunt the dreams that
precede or follow that entertainment.
In the other no such tortures are in
volved in the sleeping hours.
There have been startling instances of
the brain's power tosclve difiicnlt ques
tions during slee. A case in point is
that of u lawyer engaged in a ciimial
Cvicose. The examination of one wit
Jies8 after another seemed only to add to
the proot ot his client's guilt. Wearied
one night with trying to find some point
vhich might turn the scale in the pris
oner's favor, he fell asleep, and in a
'dream the desired point stood out clear
ly. On awakening it was immediately
worked out. and the verdict of "net
gnilty" was found consequent upon that
revelation afforded during the Hours of
sleep.
When exercising the imaginative fa
culties to any great extent, the dreams
Will always preserve the ideal charac
ter of the wakeful hours. The composer
will dream of the melodies which pro
Vide his own lullaby when dropping
kito slumber, and the artist and the
writer enter the land of dreams in com
, pany with those that the pen or tho
brush are guided to depict with such a
loving hand. Plots have been furnished
and subjects lor the canvas have been
nggested over and over again in the
quiet hours of the night, when to ail
outward appearances there is nothing
bat the most peaceful dumb. r on tho

African I)i;apiiiitmtMitH.
As a continent Africa is the home of
vigorous race of mankind, which,
while resisting assimilation with Euro
pean civilization, defies permanent con
quest. European travelers, traders, mis
sionaries, conquerors, may at their will
and at their peiil penetrate into this
dark sanctuary, but their sojourn is for
a day, and on the morrow tho faint
traces of their passage are obliterated
by the exuberant growths of barbarism.
Grudgingly as it is sometimes conceded,
it is nevertheless a fact that the bulk of
the continent of Africa is still untouched
by western civilization. 1 fcr one can
not believe that Africa will ever be
JSuropeanized or brought within the
pale of western progress, for in order
that Africa may progress it is absolute
ly .essential that it bo developed along
natural lines, but as yet the inherent
powers of native genius have neither
been discovered, nor ia tho absence of
any cohesion among native tribes and in
view of European rapacity are they,
ven if discovered, ever likely to bo en
couraged or fostered. No; Africa is a
continent fated to be conquered and ex
ploited by the heirs of civilization, to
whom it may pay tribute, but homage
never. Nineteenth Century.
To Keep One's Youth. t
A distinguished English scientist, Mr.
William Kinnear, in a magazine article
Insists that the secret of perennial youth
is to be found in the use of distilled
water and phosphoric acid. He says
that death, or disease that produces
death, is caused by the deposit in the
human system of calcareous or earthy
matter, and that the drinking of dis
tilled water, which is itEelf a great dis
solvent, and the use also of from 10 to
15 drops of diluted phosphoric acid in
each tumblerful of water will remove
each deposits and prolong human life
to the very lateBt limit. In several of
the great hotels in New York distilled
water is provided at the table and for
the use of the guests in their rooms, and
the advertisement of this fact attracts
many patrons. Detroit Free Press.
About Gingerbread.
The homely luxury, gingerbread, has
been popular ever since tho fourteenth
century. It was then made and scl j
In Paris. In those days it was prepared
with ryemeal made into a dough, and
ginger and other spices, with sugar or
honey, were kneaded into it. It was in
troduced into England by the court cf
Henry IV for their festivals and was
ooa brought into general nse, treacle?
toeing after a time employed in the
manufacture instead of honey. Popu
lar Magazine.
Marriage on Trial.
A romantic marriage occurred recent
ly at Fulton, 25 miles from this city.
Adolph Ekins and Miss Alice Mahoney
were the contracting parties. It was
agreed by them that they would try
married life a year, and if found disagree
able to either he or she was at liberty to
withdraw from married life, notwith
standing what the other had to say.

TRANSFORMATION.
The morning came as strange and white
And still as death doth come Almost
It was as though the eai th had slept
And wcke to find herself a ghost.
Close, oh, so close, to her changed face
The eky drew downl How could she know
Herself as she lay shrouded there
la the white wonder of the snow?
-Mary K. Bradford in Donohoe's Magazine.
The Elder Dumas.
Of his Sheridan-liko dealings with
tradesmen an anecdote is told. During
a scarcity ct ice a neighbor of Dumas
i 'nt to a dealer for some and was told
t!iat tho limited stock on hand was kept
for tho use of the famous author. Then
the gentleman sent again and bade his
servant ask for the ice i:i the name of
M. Dumas. The plan succeeded. Th3
ico was given, and tho servant put down
tho money on the counter. "Ah," cried
the tradesman, "give me back that ice!
Now I k::ow that you are not from M.
Dumas. Ho never pays ready money."
"My father," said M. Dumas his,
"once told mo that if he could portion
out a new life ho would be a handsome
woman till o'J, a victorious general
from iJO to 50 and a cardinal in his old
age." Dumas, as ho related this par
ental desire, glanced toward Rossini and
added: "1 should prefer tocloso my life
as an illustrious composer. Mon cher
Uossini, when you enter a room, the very
lacquer pronounces your name with
priuo as he announces you."
Then turning to tho company he con
tinued : "Announce, for instance, 2.1. le
Due: d'Auiirjle and tjignor Rossini at the
same moment and see on which side all
heads and ail hearts will incline first.
All eyes would be on the great musician
who created "11 Iiarl.it-re do Seviglia. ' "
And then we all filled our glasses with
sirmagnac of the vintage of 1811 and
drank the health of Rossini. The old
composer did not rise, but his face broke
out into voluminous smiles as he shook
tho hand of the author of "La Dame
Aux Camellias. " Philadelphia Times.

A number of business announcements
aro to be found at Pompeii, that brisk
little city to whoso daily life tho energy
of Vesuvius h;:s lent a kind of immor
tality. . Here we yjt a bilge number of
miscellaneous inscr iptions dealing with
matters of daily life, announcements of
forthcoming gladiatorial games, edicts
of magistrates, wine sellers' attempts to
captivate customers, rewards for lost or
stolen property, houses for sale or to be
let and other things of that sort.
We learn from one announcement
that a glass of wine could be got for 1
as about 3 farthings while for 4 asses
one could drink real Falernian. Another
inscription -int'oniis U3 that a denarius
about pence was paid for wash
ing a tunic, and the date, tho loth of
April, is carefully recorded by tho writ
er. Whether she was the laundress or
the owner of the tunic must bo left un
decided, but it s i; ;:!S at least that she
was in tho habit of marking up her
washing account on tho walls of her
house.
There aro eevcrr.l such inscriptions on
tho sa;ne wall of this particular house,
all dated tho 2"th of April, a tunic

"And she refused you?"
"Yes."

i The old fashion of using the candied

eeems to be almost forgotten. If a few
