What Things May Come in Dreams.

The man who wants to " sleep upon "
a project before deciding may be wiser
than he knows, for in that sleep his
mind, unknown to him, may traverse
the ground again, unhampered by his
will, uninfluenced by his prejudices, and
give him clearer and better judgment.
Who has not awakened to see light
where all " seemed dark the night be-
forep" Causeur remembers an instance
in his own experience, back in his high
school DAYS. Good Mr.. Sherwin had
given the class tough problem, which
involved both geometry and algebra in
its solution. Causeur took it home and
worked and worried over it all the
evening He made diagrams without
end, and wrote down equations without
plumber, but the equation which was to
give in known terms the value of the
unknown he could not evolve from
them. Time and again fresh start
was made, but with no better result
there was still a link missing. Tired
and disheartened, he went to bed and
was soon fast asleep. In the early
hours of the morning, when 1t was bare
ly light, he awoke, and the first thing
of which he was conscious was that he
had solved the problem-it was as clear
as day. Rising at once, he sought a
pencil, but finding none, used half
burned match, and with this, on the
marble of the mantel, noted down two
short equations. Then he returned to
bed and slept. Later in the morning
he worked out the equations and carried
the result in triumph to the old school.. ..

Weimar, Germany, who is also proved to
have secured the poison with which Solo,

kill the Gar, and to have owned the horse
by means of which the assailants Of Gen.

FACIAL PECULIARITIES.
AthaT

Precipitation on One Side and Dry ON the
Other.
Twas once sitting in cool under
ground saloon at Leipsic, while without
people were ready to die from the heat,
when a new guest entered and took a
seat opposite to me. The sweat rolled
in great drops down his face, and he
was kept busy with his handkerchief,
till at last he found relief in the excla-
nation:
Fearfully hot!"
watched him attentively as he called
for a cool drink, for l expected every
moment that he would fall from his seat
in a fit of apoplexy. The man must
have noticed that was observing him,
for he turned toward me suddenly, say
ing:
"I am a curious sort of person, am
l notP'
"WhyP" asked.
"Because l perspire wholly on the
right side"
And so it was; his right cheek and
the right half of his forehead were as
hot as fire, while the left side of his face
bore not trace of perspiration. L had
never seen the like, and in my astonish-
ment was about to enter into conver-
sation with him regarding the physio-
logical curiosity, when his neighbor on
the left broke in with the remark:
"Then we are the opposites and
counterparts of each other, for per-
spire only on the left side."
This, too, was the fact. So the pair
took seats opposite to each other and
shook hands like two men who had just
found each his other half.
"Well, this makes an end of natural
history!" exclaimed another guest,
who hitherto had gazed on this strange
performance as though it were play,
and every one who overheard what was
said came to look at this novel Won
der. "This makes an end of natural
history!"
This expression excited me to laugh
ter, and involuntarily exclaimed:
"No, sir, this is just the beginning of
natural history; for nature has many
strange caprices even as regards her
symmetry"
then mentioned the case of a man
l had known in my boyhood, who,
Janus like, had two totally different
faces-on one side laughing, on the 9TH
er crying. Naturally l dreaded this
strange double face, with one side
smooth, plump and comely, like girl:
cheek, while che other was all SCARED
by the smallpox. This side of the face
denoted churlishness; and while the
other wore smile, this BODIED mischief
In this instance disease had been un
