Dreams.

We have been accustomed to consider
the myth.creating power of the human
mind as one especially belonging TO the
earlier stages of growth of society and
Of the individual. 1t will throw,
think, a rather curious light on the sub
iect, if we discover that this instinct ex-
lists in every one of us, and exerts itself
with more or less energy through the
whole of our lives. In hours of woking
consciousness, indeed, it is suppressed,
or has only the narrowest range of ex-
ercise, as in the tendency, noticeable in
all persons not of the very strictest ve-
racity, to supplement an incomplete an
ecdote with explanatory incidents, or
throw slightly known story into the
dramatic form, with dialogues con-
structed out Of our own consciousness.
But such small play of the myth-mak-
ing faculty is nothing compared to its
achievements during sleep. The instant
that daylight and common sense are
excluded the fairy work begins. At the
very least, half of our dreams (unless |
greatly err are nothing else than myths
formed by the unconscious celebration
on the same approved principles. where
by Greece and India and Scandinavia
gave to us the stories which we were
once pleased to set apart as mythol-
ogy, proper. Have we not here, then,
evidence that there is real law Of the
human mind causing us constantly TO
compose ingenious fables explanatory
OF the phenomena around us, law
winch only sinks into allegiance in the
waking hours of persons in whom the
reason has been highly cultivated, and
which resumes its sway even over their
well.tutored brains when they sleep p

Onnosition 70 Great Inventions.

The ribbon loom is an invention of
the sixteenth century and on the plea
that it deprived many workmen of
bread was prohibited in Holland, in
Germany, in the dominions of the
Church, and in other countries of Eu-
rope. AT Hamburg, the Council ordered
loom to be publicly burned. The
stocking loom shared the fate OF the
ribbon loom. In England, the patron
age of Queen Elizabeth was requested
for the invention, but il is said the in
ventor was rather impeded than assisted
in his undertaking. In France, opposi-
ton to the stocking loom was OF the
most base and cruel kind. A French
man who had adopted the invention,
manufactured by the loom pair of silk
stockings for Louis XIV. They were
presented to the monarch. The par
ties, however, who supplied hosiery to
the court, caused several loops of the
stockings to be cut, and thus brought
the stocking loom into disrepute at
headquarters.
Table forks appear so necessary part
of the furniture of the dinner table,
that one can scarcely believe that the
tables of the sixteenth century were
destitute of them. They were not,
however, introduced until the COM
mencement of the seventeenth century,
and then were ridiculed as superfluous
and effeninate, while the person who
introduced them into England was
called Lucifer. They were invented IN
Italy, and brought thence to England,
napkins being used in this country by
the polite and fingers by the multitude.
The saw-mill was brought into Eng
land from Holland in 1868. But its in
PRODUCTION so displeased the English
that the enterprise was abandoned. A
second attempt was then made at Lime
| house, and the mill was erected, but
soon after its erection it was pulled
down by mob. Pottery is glazed by
throwing salt into the oven at certain
stage Of the baking. This mode of
glazing was introduced into this country
in 1890, and came to Staifordshire from
! Nuremburg. The success end secrecy
Of its inventors so enraged their neigh
bors that persecution arose against
them, and became so strong that they
were compelled to give up their works.
The pendulum was invented by Calico
but so late as the seventeenth century,
when Hook brought it forward as the
standard of measure, it was ridiculed
and passed by the name of Swing Swang
