it were to be discovered that horses
and animals had sense and comprehen-
sion as we'll as intelligence. | should

this town have ample opportunities to
gather a full knowledge of the idiosyn-

ty for dissipation makes it possible for
them to become familiar with the mid
night customers. There used to be a
hack standing nightly on Kearney
street, and the horse had gradually
been educated to look out for custom.
Now, Frank, y the driver would say
as somebody came along the street,
'look out for trade" Then the ami
nal would deliberately turn its head
and watch the pedestrian, and il he
passed the hack ne would turn away
disappointed. Ii tho man stopped on
the corner, the horse would watch him
until he was quite sure he didn't want
to ride. Ii anybody stopped to bargain
for ride the horse would listen to the
little bicker, and when it was all set
tied he would look pleased and get
ready to bowl the fare along. Sen

About Dreams,

A French physician, DR.. Delaunav,
tells some interesting facts about
dreams. These are embodied in a com
munication to the Society de Biologie
of Paris. 1t is well known, when a per-
son IS lying down, the blood flows most
easily to the brain. That is why some
of the ancient philosophers worked out
their thoughts in bed. Certain modern
thinkers have initiated this queer meth
cd of industry. During sleep, so long
as the head is laid low, dreams take the
place of coherent thoughts.
There are, however, different sorts of
dreams; and DR.. Delaunay's purpose,
IN his original communication, is to
show that the manner of lying brings
on a particular kind of dream. Thus,
according TO this Investigator, uneasy
and dlSagreeable dreams accompany ~
inc upon the back. This fact is ex-
planned by the connection which is
known to exist between the organs of
sensation and the posterior part of the
brain.
The most general method of lying,
perhaps, is on the right side; and this
appears TO be also the most natural
method, for many persons object 10 ~
ing upon the side OF the heart, which,
1t has been more than once asserted,
should have free action during Sleep
Nevertheless, Dr.. Delaunay's state
ments hardly harmonic with this opin-
ion. When one sleeps on the right side.
that is to say, upon the right side of the
brain, ones dreams have marked and
rather unpleasant characteristics.
These characteristics, however, are
essentially those which enter into the
popular definition of dreams. One 5

fun of viyacity and eXaggeration.
Dreams which come from sleeping on
the right side are, in short, simple de-
ceptions. They bring to mind very old
and faint remembrances, and they are
often accompanied by Nightmares. Dr.
Delaunay points out that sleepers fire.
quently compose verses or rhythmical
language while they are lying on the
right side. This verse, though al times
correct enough, is absolutely without
sense. The moral faculties are then at
work, but the intellectual faculties are
absent.
On the other hand, when a person
slumbers on his left brain, his dreams
are not only less absurd, they may
also be intelligent. They are, as a rule,
concerned with recent things, not with
"reminiscences. And, since the faculty
of articulated language is found in the
left side, the words uttered during
such dreams are frequently compre-
ible.-Eregy Other Saturday.

The role of wind in fertilizing the
ground is remarkably illustrated bv
the very fertile valley of Limagne. An-
vergne. The prevalent winds there
are west and southwest, and traverse
the chain OF Bones. where are vast de-
posts of volcanic ashes. Much of this
dust Is thus carried to the Limarne
Valley, and settles there of itself or is
carried down by rain or snow. As il
contains large amount OF phosphorus
acid, potash, and lime, it is highly fer
tilizing, aud its very tine state favors
rapid assimilation. As a result. Linn
agne is by far the most fertile valley in
Europe.

By malaria, how shall we escape the dread in

fever and ague districts ask themselves. The
answer comes from former sufferers who for
years have escaped the visitatiOns of the

iuence of Hostetters Stomach Bltters. When
the necessity for using preventive measures
arises, use this means of prevention at once.

when such exist, by promoting healthful
action of the bowels and kidneys. Act early.
In all regions where miasmatic vapors breed
disease, il is absolutely necessary to be pro-

to be brief. No one can afford to breathe

Killed by the stings of Wasps.

Wasps killed William P. Thompson,
a farmer living in Allegheny County,
Md. While working in a corniield he
noticed what he supposed to be bees
swarming around the stump OF AN old
oak tree in a fence corner. He APP
preached and rashly attempted to in
vestigate them by striking the stump
with his hoe. In an instant Il whole
nest OF wasps, probably 500 or 600
strong, attacked him. They settled
all over his head and clungtoh him with
remarkable persistency. When he
reached home screaming for help, his
wife was compelled to beat them off
with a broom. He had been stung i'll
a horrible manner. There wasscarce-
ly a piece OF skin rs big as a penny on
head which had not been pierced by
the wasps' sting. He had Just had his
hair cut with a clipper, and the wasps
found nc difficulty in getting in their
work all over his scalp. One of them
had settled in his left eye and stung
theey1ball. mtwo hours Thompson's
head had swollen to a monstrous size,
his left eye protrudins, and he VAS a
terrible spectacle. The man suffered
great agony and died in two hours

outskirts of that city they erected a

The Course of True Love.

From the Heraldsbnrg (Cal.) Enterprise.
1t was one day last week, andin the
city OF Cloverdale, that a wedding had
been given out to take place; all the
necessary preparationshad been made
and the guests had all assembled, when
10 and behold! it was discovered that
the license had been issuedby the Clerk
OF Mendocino county, in place OF So
noma. 1t had so happened that IL
OF Healdsburg's ministers had been en-
gagged and was on the ground ready to
perform the ceremony, and it al be
better imagined than described the
CONSERVATION that was produced when
the divine informed the contracting
parties that a marriage license issued
III Ukiah was not Just the proper au-
thority to perform the marriage cerc-
mony in Cloverdale, asthat burg hap
pened to be in another county. At
this time the dinner was almost on the
table, and many of the guests
were standing on their tiptoe OF OK
element, and what was to be done
was on the tongue OF every one. The
thoughtful minister informed them
that it was only three miles to the
Mendocino county line, and whenthat
point was passed the existing docu-
ment would assume legal authority.
AS soon as these words hadfallenfrom
the minister's lips a rush for thelivery
stables commenced, and teams follow
ed teams in quick succession until all
the guests were on flying wheels in the
direction of Mendocino line. When
this was crossed and Il friendly shade
had been found. the party alighted
and the happy couple We're made one.
Then all returned to the place where
the tables were loaded with the choic-
est dainties of the land. A lasting OK
ample was impressed upon the minds
OF those present that three miles make
a wonderful distance when OF the
wrongside OF the county line.

YOUTH.

Oh! strange inconsequence OF youth,
When days were lived from hand to mouth
And thought ran round an empty ring
In foolish, sweet imagining.
We handled love in hildish fashion
The name alone am. not the passion
The world and life were things SO small,
Our little wit encompassed ALL
We took our being as our faith
For granted, drew our easy breath
And rarely stayed to wonder why
We were set here to live and die.
Vague dreams we had, u granderFate
Our lives would mold and dominate,
Till we should stand some far-off day
More godlike than of mortal clay.
Strong Fate! we meet thee but to find
A soul and all that lies behind,
We lose Youths Paradise and gain
a world OF duty and OF pain.
