Dreams.

Dreams are night thoughts, uucheck
ed by the judgment and uncontrolled
by the will. 1t is not true that we do
not reason in dreams, that the exercise
of the judgment is wholly suspended,
and that the will is entirely powerless
or ceases to act. These faculties are
not altogether in abeyance, but they
dose with the subordinate powers of
the mind-those which play the parts
of picture-carrief5 and record finders
ransack the treasures of memory aud
mingle together in the direst confusion
old things and new. Imagination is
not active, but it remains just enough
awake to supply the connecting links
which give seeming continuity 10 those
parts of the phantaspagoria which we
chance to remember on recovering per-
feet self-consciousness and which being
remembered we call dreams" No
one remembers more than one dream,
unless he has reused from sleep more
than once. This experience has led to
the inference that dreams Oh y occur
at the moment or in the act of waking.
There are dreams which take place in
the process of returning to conscious
ness-for example, those instantaneous
scenes and spectacles which are sug
gested by the sound or feeling that
rouses the dreamer; but in result of
long and close study of the subject with
view to discover the nature of dreams
and the laws of dreaming, for medical
purposes, in connection with the treat
meut Of sleeplessness, am persuaded
that dreams occur in the course of
sleep aud are wholly forgotten.
That they do not and cannot take
place in deep sleep is probably because
deep sleep is general sleep, and when
this state prevails the subordinate
faculties are sleeping, and the pictures
and records which compose dreams
are not disturbed. To understand
dreams we must understand sleep, and
it is because the two phenomena have
not hitherto been studied together that
so little is generally known about either.

Selecting Trees.
Western wis. Farmer.

We copy the following advice with
reference to this subject from the
Quinn's pear Culture for Profit" We
have referred to this subject before.
but as many of our readers are about
to order fruit trees for spring planting.
they will do well to consider the relative
value of high and low tops, as well as
the danger of planting trees of forced
groacth, as mentioned below. If any
thing different, the soil where a tree or
plant is set should be better than where
it grew in the nursery; or at least the
soil around the roots should be at first
the best compounded, or garden soil.
to encourage the new roots in an early
start.
"Select low trained, stocky trees,
even if you decide to remove the lower
branches after they are in place.
have found, from experience, that such
trees arc better rooted, and they will,
in nine cases out of ten, succeed best
in the orcf ard. But strange as it may
appear, four persons out of six will
choose tai, spindling tree in prefer
ence to saocky one, and, therefore,
nurscrymen are compelled to train
trees to suit the market, instead of
what their experience and judgment
would dictate.
"Trees that have been forced too
much in the nursery row, as general
thing, do not succeed as well as trees
grown on land of medium strength. As
q case in point, we imported from
France, six years ago, one thousand
Bartletts, two years from the bud.
Everybody who saw them said they
were, without doubt, the finest lot they
had seen. The second years growth
averaged four feet long, and the young
wood looked as If it might be made
into serviceable walking canes. These
trees were planted on clay soil, well
prepared and in good condition. 1t
would have produced three tons OF
timothy hay to the acre, or fifty bush
els of shelled corn.
cater planting, the trees were cut
back and great care taken of them. In
two years from the time of planting,
three hundred and twenty-four died.
The only solution that L can give, is,
that they were stimulated to such an
extent in the nursery, that when trans
planted in an ordinary soil, the roots
did not supply the amount necessary to
keep the top in its natural condition.
On close examination of the young
wood, l found it to be soft and spongy.
| have no doubt that forcing trees with
putrescent manures is the cause of the
numerous cases from which young
trees suffer for two or three years after
being set out.
do not mean to say that you should
select stunted trees, but such as have a
q healthy appearance, with a moderate
growth of young wood, if, on examina-
ton, you find it hard to the extreme
end of the branches. You will often
find,on cutting the young wood of trees
that have been forced too rapidly, a
dark brown spot in the centre or heart
of the twig; this is a sure indication of
an unnatural growth, and great care
will have to be given, or many of the
trees will not survive more than one or
two years. The best remedy for this
is to cut eff at least two-thirds of the
previous years growth. and mulch the
ground for a space of three feet around
the body of the trees"

Mr.. john w, YoUNG, interviewed at
Denver on the subject of polygamy,
said that should the United States en-
force the law recently passed, the Nor
mons would meet the issue as all good
citizens should. Asked to be more
definite on this point he said many
would choose to give up all, and many
would give up nothing but submit
quietly to fine and imprisonment. Mr..
Young affects a great regard for the
treaty stipulations with Mexico as to
therransfer of the people in Utah, but
thinks lightly of the devotion Of the
Americans to what they call their con-
