THE MINDS ACTIVITY DURlHG SLEEP.


In connection with the present
activity in psychical research, the
following extract from the recently
published Life of Agassiz' is Tin
terest.
Gle lAgassiz) had been for TWO
weeks striving to decipher the
somewhat obscure impressions oil a
fossil fish on stone slab in which
it was preserved. Weary and per
picked he put his work aside at
last, and tried to dismiss it from
his mind. Shortly after, he wax
ed one night persuaded that while
asleep he had seen his fish with all
the missing features perfectly re-
stored. But when he tried TO hold
and make fast the image, it escap-
ed him. NeveTtL eleSs, he went ear
lv to the Jardn DIES Plantes, think
ing that on looking anew at the
impression he should see something
which would put him on the track
of his v,slon. In vain-the blur
red record was as blank As ever
The next night he saw the ush
again, but withno more satisfactory
result. When he awOke it dlsap-
peared from bis memory as before.
Hoping thar the same experience
might be repeated on the third night
he placed pencil and paper beside
his bed before going to sleep. Ac-
cordingly, toward morning, the iSh
reappeared in his dream, confused
| w at first, but, at last, with such
distinctness that he had no longer
any doubt as to its geological char
acters. Still half dreaming, in per
feet darkness, he traced these char
acters on the sheet of paper at the
| bedside. In the morning he was
| surprised to see in his nocturnal
sketch features which he thought
| it impossible the fossil itself should
reveal. He fastened to the Jardin
des Plantes, and with his drawing
for guide, succeeded in chiseling
| away the surface OF the stone under
| which portions of the fish proved
| to be hidden. When wholly ex-
posed, it correspondent with his
dream and his drawing, and he
| succeeded in classifying it with
ease. He often spoke of this as
a good illustration of the we'll
known fact, that when the body is
at rest the tired brain will do the
work it refused before

APPLES COINS 70 WASTE.

WATERBURY,, Conn, November
27.-It is safe to say that never
before did Nangatuck Valley wit
ness such an abandonment OF fruit
as this year. And the same is said
Of every other section of this State,
that is, so far as the apple crop is
concerned. There is not farmer
in this vicinity who has attempted
TO gather his apples. 1t wOnld be
the most Improbable kind of en-
ployment, for they can't be given
away. Look where you will and
there is not an orchard where the
apples have all been gathered
Every farmer has not only filled
his cellar bins, but he has sent bar
iels of apples to his friends and
relatives in the city, and to the
Tribune Fresh. Air Fund to be dis
tributed among the poor i'll New
York, only limiting the quantity
sent b, t,c scarcity of barrels IN
which to back them. The farmers
have also made more cider than
before for many years, and the
spring may witness a great many
tell-tale noses from the superabun-
dance of cider. There is lying
about the cider-presses more mash
than has before been seen for many
years.
The empty cider barrels have
been filed, and an unusually large
supply of apples has been stored
away for the winter, and still many
Of the trees groan under burdens Of
luscious yellow fruit which makes
one feel that it is wicked to allow
so much to go to waste. Every
body las lived upon apples; ap-
plesraw, apples baked, apples stew
ed, apples coddled, and apple pies.
In every orchard, in addition to
the unplucked trees, are great heaps
of apples of all kinds that are be-
coming frozen during the long,
cold nights, and which will never
be utilized except as manure. One
farmer told me, few days ago,
that he had at least five hundred
bushels that must go to waste, un-
less knew OF five hundred apple
hungry boys who would come up
from the city and gorge themselves.
They might be fed out to the cattle
and pigs, but they have become so
surfeited with them that they will
scarcely touch one.

Wnnan rs a Fruit GTuWeT.

A young lady brought up on a
farm, though receiving between
the ages Of fifteen and twenty the
benefit of 6rst-clasS education in
a distant city, was suddenly bereft
of both father and mother. After
the settlement of the estate she
found herself possessed of a farm
OF thirty acres, a team of horses,
and the implements of farm work,
together with the sum of one hun
dred and fifty dollars in cash, with
which to begin her fight with the
world. After due deliberatiOn,
she decided TO retain the small farm
and work it. 1t so happened that
about two acres had been set to
Strawberries sometime before, which
would bear its first main crop the
summer following her removal to
the small farm. She Immediately

ured, doing all bat the heavy work
with her own hands. The crop
Melted her about SllO. The next
step was to iucrease the plantation,
adding raspberries, blackberrles,
etc, until now, to make a long
story short, less than six years
from the time the work was com
menced, the original farm of 80
acres has been purchased, and
paid for in cash, too, and is being
rapidly laid out into orchards; a
poultry yard of no mean dimen-
sions adds vastly to the income,
and a snug bank account is ready
for a rainy day. More than all,
she has developed from a depend
ent girl into a strong, healthy,
selfreliant business woman and
the secret of her success is good
sense, a lack ofthat bane to Amerl-
can girls, false pride, an indomita-
BILE will, and a determination to
succeed.
