GREEKS DREAM Doctors. Setting
aside the imagery of the Greek poets,
and the opinions of their merely specu
lative philosophers, we find that dreams
were considered of such importance in
the common life of the Greeks that enc
of the learned professions was that of
Oaeiroc'iticS, or Interpreters of dreams.
A Greek would probably consult one Of
these men as urally as he would q
lawyer or doctor, and no doubt oftener,
for the oneirocritics were very badly
paid at Athens, enc! there was no heavy
fee "to open the eyes OF the dreamer. ="
Thus We are told of man who dreamei
that he saw an egg hanging from the
tester Of his bed. Being sorely exer-
cised at the unwonted vision, he re-
paired to the oneirocritic, who in
formed him, as q wise and ready inter-
prefer, that there was treasure under
his bed. He Immediately get about dig
gipg. and to his great Joy found some
gold, set round with silver. He gave
the oneirocritic some silver in payment
for his information, but the sage asked,
"Was there no gold? If MT, what
meant the yolk of the egg?' Altemi-
dorus, another Ephesian, seems to have
spent the best of his days in reducing
dreams to the obedience of exact rules.
but with little success. He said that all
true dreams foretold some good or evil.

mourned the snobbishness and exclu-

with pain the cankerlng corruption of
American politics and the development
of scepticism here.

The Chinese Cuisine.

The sharks fin is a delicncy
which is rarely omitted from the
menu of the Chinese feast. It is
one OF the great classic dishes forming
the pieces de resistance of an official
banquet, and is eaten either in the
form of q joint, garnished with crabs,
or served up in small pieces in cups
placed before each guest. The con-
sumption of rats, though it seems to
be somewhat on decline, is the cause
of q very important traffic In the prin
pal towns OF certain districts, aud es.
pecially in a street in Canton called
Hing Loung- Kai. Here these animals
may DO seen in enormous muititudes
hanging up in the shop windows,
amongst chickens, ducks and geese.
They are for the most part dried and
sailed, and when in that state are es-
teemed a sovereign receipt for those

Besides tho dishes peculiar to the
Cel9stials alone, there are q variety of
differ uces in their mode of cooking
and eating food unknown 10 our cui-
sine. Hams, for instance, are kept for
a year, or even two years, buried in
heaps Of sawddst, which imparts to
them taste of wood much appreciated
by the gourmands. Broad beans are
fermenteI. and, after being mixed with
salt, form a very favorite sauce, eaten
with all sorts OF viands. Finally. the
habit of eating rotten eggs, which
sounds SO strange to European cars, is
explained by showing that the so-called
rotten egg is only ducks egg pre-
served for long time il an alright

leaves, and number OF other strange

A quaint story Of Stone wall Jackson's
devotion is related by the ex-Confeder-
ate Chaplain j. w. Jones. 1t was on

pray then know there is going to be
something to pay, and 60 straight and
