Speed OF Thought in q Dream.
EfSor Sc,antitic 7,,eriran


A telegraph operator was one night
during the rco-Russiall war receiv-
ing press dispatch regarding the war,
in which the name Of Gorrschakof was
being telegraphed. Gortschakotf' name
appearing SO often in such dispatches,
the operator, as soon as he !.aard the
first syllable Of the great premier's name,
went to sleep and dreamt he went to his
mothers home in the Indian territory;
went hunting with some Indian
friends; had great deal of sport,
and went through an experience
which would take days to>perfor1n, and
finally, after returning from the hunt
during the division of their game, he
woke up in time to hear the final syllable
Of Gortschakoffs name, and succeeded
in making q complete ''copy'' of the
message. At the rate of forty words
per minute, at which telegraphing is
usually done, you will see. that the time
of the dream, which commenced, when
the middle syllable of Gortschakoff' s
uame was being made, was one-third of
one and one-third Of q second, or forty
four one -hundredths of a second.

Mr.. Webster, in April, 1886, made
some .teathing remarks in the senate on
a resolution Of the house, calling for ali
account tof5: Ills" disbursements of the
secret, service fund. This. fund, he ex.
planned, could not be expended by d.
l'ection of the president, and he asserted
in conclusion that all declarations, aver
ments, statements or insinuations made
anywhere, or by anybody, which i'm
puted peryersions,, misapplication or
waste of tho public funds, as committed
or made by him while secretary Of state,
we're utterly groundless and false, Who
ever charged him. with having either
misapplied the public fund while in the
state department, had either seen the pa
pers or had, in some other way, obtained
knowledge upon the. subject, or he had
not. If he had seen no papers, or had
no knowledge, then his imputations wera
purely wanton and slanderous j If had
seen the papers, or had any knowledge,
then he would state what he knew---if
be knew anything-which would sustain
his charge. 4 r. n. ~
Silence, under such circumstances, was
conclusive that ne Knew nothiny,s be-
cause he was. under ) no / obligation OF
secrecy, and ii absence Of all other proof
he would, of course, tell all he knew, if
be knew anything which would in the
slightest degree bear him out. The
charge, therefore, was either made in
utter ignorance Of any facts to support
it, or else with knowledge that the facts
which did exist would, il made known,
entirely disprove it. As to the source of
this miserable vitupe he had Moth
ing to say. He was afraid he should be
thought TO have paid too much attention
t. it already. s.sssiir Sir, 7 said Mr.. Webster,

ssrong enough to keep the water in mo-
ton, IL stsgnant and foul. Dirt and
rsbbish are thrown INTO it, and stay
there. Impurities and vile .odors make
1t a broader Of disease and an object to be
avoided. When the blood is strong and
rich and red, and vigorously courses Its
accustomed rounds through arteries and
veins, the system is hearty and healthy.
When the blood Is thin and poor and
weak, impurities and de6lements creep
into it, and it has no strength to cast
them out. Then the system runs down.

7&. Dickens In 1912.
[Ben: Perley Poore.l
Charles Dickens, when he first visited
Washington in 1912, was just entering
his 3Oth year. He was middle-sized,
somewhat tieshy person, and he wore a
brown frock coat, a red-hgured vest and
fancy scarf cravat, that concealed the
collar and was fastened to the bosom in
rather voluptuous folds by double pin
and chain. His hair, which was long
:aald1dark, grew low upon the brow, had
"a wavy kink where it started from the
head, and was corkscrewed as it fell on
either side Of his face His forehead re-
treated gradually: from the eyes, without
any marked protuberance, save at the
outer angle, the upper portion of which
formed a prominent ridge little within
the assigned position Of the organ OF
ideality. The eyeballs completely filled
their sockets. The aperture of the lids
was not large, nor the eye nncommonly
. clear or bright, but quick, moist and ex-
~pressive. The nose was, slightly quiline,
the mouth of moderate dimensions, MAX
ingno great I display of the teeth. the
sfacial muscles occasionally drawing the
upper lip most strongly on the left side
as the mouth opened in speaking. His
features, taken togeth er, were. well pro,
portioned Of glowing and cordial
aspect, with more animation than grace,
and more intelligence than beauty.

sheepish as | made my appear |

greet, been far from what it

PLANTATION to offer to what |

mystified. looked at Shak-
spear Smiffens, the scout,
but he only gazed ferociously
ut the pattern on the carpet.
What could the Dean mean?
But | was soon enlightened.
He deliberately, with a look
more Of sorrow than of anger,
went to his capacious desk,
from the recesses of which he
produced-0 pair Of stays :!
They were the smoth-faced
freshmm's, whose dramatic
enthusiasm made him carry
his makeup even thus far.
''Now. Mr.. Pauncefote,
what have you to say? How
did these come into your pos
session? massachusetts is, |
believe, the correct term"'-
and the Dean-an unmarried
man-held the offending
article out at arms length by
the laces. Such things, |
believe. are not usually con-
sidered part of mans ward
robe.
Like a drawing man, |
clutched at the straw the
Dean offered. eff you please,
sir, they belong to a friend of
mine. Men do were them
sometimes; my friend does,
and left them in my rooms. "
A smile fitted across the
face of Shakespear Smiffens,
who, as a married man, was
acquainted with the anatomy
of such like frivolities.
The Dean frowned, looked
closely at my perturbed face,
and, evidently in doubt, APP
pealed to Smiffens.
"Smiffens, are-thes e
ahem-female or male?" And
again he dangled them, and,
as he did. their decidedly
female contow became the
more apparent.
Smiffens looked at me,
looked at the Dean, and
looked at the articles in ques-
ton. He was in "A mess,
stammered. and said he
thought they might be male,
but he had never seen any of
that sort before. 1t was quite
evident that he was not going,
to commit himself.
The Dean was nonplussed,
but eventually he gave me
the benefit of the doubt, and
said, you may go now, Mr..
Pauncefote but remember
that, though / accept your
explanation, / am not thor
oughly satisfied. Lshall keep
my eye Oh you
!. We made merry that even
ing over my adventure with
the Dean, and the next day
our grand theatricals came

usually characteristics the
musical efforts of the UNDER
grad. AS the freshman and
myself were passing under
the Deans window, we heard
it open, and a well-known
head appeared. We didn't
wait to hear what it said the
freshman gathered up his
skirts, and we incontinently
bolted. We had not been
safe in my rooms more than
five minutes before a knock
came, and in walked the Dean.
The freshman hid himself, and
Mr.. Dean, pale with rage,
said, "Mr. Pauncefote, my
sus picions were correct.
Where is the woman | have

Mypoorfreshman emerged,
looking very sheepish, and
we both tried to explain to
Mr.. Dean as well as we could.
But it was no use. The feel
ing that he had been made a
fool of rendered the Dean
vicious. and he sent us down !;
and so ended my first and
