stopped the Crying.

MRS. Siegel in chronological JournaLl
Children sometimes acquire a habit of cry
ing If things displease them; and learn from
practice that screaming produces the desired
result This is very irritating to u mothers
nerves, and she frequently yields against her
better judgment. That fault was corrected
in little friend of the writer's by the mother
quietly remarking, "Well, Florence, scream
ing won't make me alter my decision; but IL
you care to scream, l don't know that OBJ
ject greatly, because it developes the lungs
and is healthy. Asy you are generally quiet
child presume it is necessary that something
should be done to expand the lungs. So far
you have my permission"
The noise stopped Immediately. She did not
care to be doing something useful while in q
passion. After that, whenever the crying
began, quiet remark, that screaming was
healthy" brought silence at once She laughs
at this story at this present day, and says:
at was horrible to tell me that. No child
would scream after such remark" The
mother thought so at the time.

Position in sleep and Dreams.
chronological Journal

Dr. Delaunay, q French observer, In COM
municatiop to the Biological society Of Paris,
states certain conclusions of his with refer
ence to the inroduction of dreams by the
manner In which one lies while sleeping.
When one sleeps upn the right side, that is
10 say upon the right side Of the brain, ones
dreams have marked and rather unpleasant
characteristics. These characteristics,
however, are those essentially those
which enter into the popular defini-
tion OF dreams. Ones dreams are then apt
to be Illogical absurd, childish, uncertain,
incoherent, full OF yiyacity and exaggera-
tion. Dreams which come from sleeping ON
the right side are, in short. simply deceptiops
They bring to the mind very old or faint re-
membranes, and they are often accompanied
by nightmares.
DIR. Delsunay points out that sleeper frs-
ouently compose verse or rhythmicai langu-
age while they are lying on their right side:
this yerse, though at times correct enough, 10
absolutely without sense. The moral faculties
are then at work. but the intellectual facul-
ties are absent. On the other hand, when .
person sIumbegs on his left brain, his dream
are not only less absurd. they may also be In

A NEW AMERICAN LAKE.

1t is rather late day for the discovery of
lakes on this continent, yet one has, within
the past few weeks, been discovered in the
northern Province of Quebec, which is re-
ported to be as large as Lake Superior. For
some time there has been a rumor of large
sheet of water in that portion of the terri
tory, and early in June Mr. F. Fl. Bignell,
of the city of Quebec, left that city on an
exploring expedition, and the reports he
brings back Of this sea are truly wonderful.
From Sept. 10th to the nth he yoyaged on
this vast sheet of water and saw it still
stretching before him. The water is of great
depth, and consequently navigable to ves-
sells of almost any size. Fish of all kinds
abound; perch, pickerel, and trout being
seen in enormous quantities. On the 18th
Mr.. Bignells party had travelled 12O miles
on the water, and yet the body of the lake,
which had gradually expanded, had not
been reached. 1t is reported that the Hud-
son Bay Company have known of the exist
ence of the sheet of water for many years,
but have up to this time managed to keep
it secret. The land in the vicinity Of lake
is said to be fertile and the climate very
agreeable, and it is most likely that ere
long there will be movement to that re-
gion of many French Canadian farmers.

LIFE OF LOGAN.

We believe that every soldier and sailor
in the United States, and every man and
woman who is interested in the war, should
have copy of that magnificent YEARBOOK,
the Life of Gen. Logan" We have hereto
fore been selling it for much less than it
should bring. Its size, illustrations, and the
manner in which it is got up are that of a
book which sells for $3.50 or 81, but we have
been selling it for 81 in order that every
body might have copy. We will now
make still farther concession. We will
send copy of this book, free of cost, to any
one who will send US S. for five new sub
scribers TO The NATIONAL TRIBUNE, or we
will send it and THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for one year for $3.50. This is splendid
chance for getting splendid book.

THE MARKETS.

The general condition of business shows
but little, if any, change from the depression
which has reigned for some months. In
some branches there is absolutely nothing
to report, but dealers in dry goods note an
increasing demand and slight improve
ment in prices, which is sufficient to give
hope that it is the first CLINT of the coming
dawn of business activity. We trust by
next week to have something still more
definite to report, though we do not antiei-
pate that there will be any marked resump-
ton of prosperity in business until after the
invoicing is finished in January, when the
hustle of preparation for the coming year
will make itself felt.
The wheat market opened at Chicago this
week with some activity, prices ranging
from IS to IS cents per bushel. Corn was in
good demand at 40 cents; rye dull at 5O3
cents, and barley with little demand at $751;
Oats sold slowly at 25s cents. Flour was
decidedly dull, both in receipts and sales
While there has been no improvement in
the iron trade in Pennsylvania, there has

having shown determination to find
market at some price. In manufactured
iron there is nothing doing beyond the usual

about one-half of their capacity, and even
then have difficulty in finding steady work.

EARNING A PENSION.

If it were as easy as the pension carpers
say to earn a pension, why did they not take
advantage of the opportunity offered them
few years ago? They had just the same
chance as the crest of the boys" As rule,
too, they are not men who let slip any OPP
portunity to grab 4 dollar.
They had every inducement offered them
in the stirring days of 1876 to put them
selves in shape to be receiving the munifi-
cent sum of $40 or S12 a month now, or, if
they had "tuckered out" in trying to earn
it, to have their widows get So month, and
their children be scared for" at the rate of
so cents week. Orators adjured them,
newspapers exhorted them, and recruiting
officers importuned themto go where glory
and pensions awaited them. For some rea-
son they did not seem to think then that a
pension was quite as desirable as they do
now.
Yet how easy it was to earn one! All
that man had to do was to leave his pleas
ant home and agreeable occupation, doff his
comfortable clothes and put ON suit of
coarse blue, march through the mud and
rain for few thousand miles, fighting be-
times until the bullets of the enemy lopt
off leg OF an arm, or sleeping in swamp
racked his frame with rheumatism. Then
he could come home and wait few years
until the Pension Office would graciously
grant him as much per month as he was in
the habit of earning in couple of days
when lie enlisted.
Singular that the army of pensioners is
not larger, isn't it?

will at once set to work to push the circula-
ton Of these. 1t is necessary to pour in
upon the House of Representatives such a
flood of names that that body will not think
of delaying the passage of the bill. This
can easily be done if comrades will set about
the work in the right spirit.

THE old English law prevails in Penn
sylvania to an extent that one hardly con-
ceives of until some fresh development
brings it to mind. A few years ago man
actually challenged another to trial by battle,
and well-posted lawyers decided that the
challenge had to be accepted or the case
abandoned, which was done. The other
day in Pittsburg neighborhood squabble
resulted in the arrest Of woman who bore
the rather unaristocratic name of Fishpan,
as common scold, and the trial under the
old law which punished common scolds, and
had she been convicted, she would doubt
less have been subjected to the penalty of
that offences, which was ducking in the
horsepond. We presume though that the
authorities would have found good deal of
difficulty in finding something to answer for
the old ducking-stool which was made use
of to punish loud-tongued women. The
Jury brought in a verdict of not guilty.

SOME of those papers which cannot under
stand that the country has outgrown the swad-
dling-cloths it was in when Washington advis-
ed it to beware of entangling alliances" find
fault with Minister Kasson for accepting Prince
Bismarck's invitation to this country to be
represented at the forthcoming Congo Confer
ence. This is absurd, short-sighted, unmanly,
and about all that it should not be. We are one
of the great powers of the world. The control
of the Congo country is one of the great ques-
tions that the powers of the world have to
settle. To not invite us to the conference
would DO q slight upon our national dignity
that we should have to resent. To not accept
the invitation to the conference would be show
ing stupid indifference to question in which
we have deep commercial and humanitarian
interest.
