The DandeIion CrsZe.

Dandelion parties are the prevailing
craze Just now. This is perhaps as
harmless as any of the crazes. and, as
it opens rare possibilities for real use.
fulness, we hope 1t will spread to the
west. The dandelion party is simply
an assemblage of young ladies and gen.
tlemen who dig up dandellon plants
with knives and store them in baskets.
OF course there is an infnity of pretty
little details. The baskets may show
the good taste of the young ladies or
the depth of their papa's purses. They
may be decked with gay ribbons or
trimmed with rich laces, or if q young
widow be of the party VIC suppose her
basket may be set of with mourning
goods. The knives, of course, may
range from the common table knife to
blade with golden handle relieved by
diamonds.
But the main business OF the party is
to dig up dandelions, and herein lies
the possibility of its usefulness. If a
man haye at once a handsome daughter
and lawn overrun with dandelions he
is likely to encourage the young folks
in the new crazs. If his lawn be choked
with thIstles or mullen stalks or ''JIm-
son" weeds, it is all the same, since IN
all likelihood the young persons COM
posing the party know very little and
care much less what they dig up so
long as it is play and not work.
To the farmer who wants his potato
patch hoed this craZe suggests an Geo.
nomical means, but he must be careful
to conceal his real purposes; and it is
not utterly impossible that if our mayor
wonld bestir himself in the right direo-
he might organize dandelion parties fOr
the cleaning of our streets and alleys.

Tea and Tobacco In Alaska.

While descending the Yukon says a
recent writer, many natives visited our
floating palace of legs in their canoes
and offered us for sale small birch-bark
baskets full of stunned huckleberries,
the one common begging being for
either tea or tobacco. "Chyl chy chyl"
we heard from morning TIL night. Il
person wholly unfamiliar with the
word, and having no interpreter, might
think as he invaded this land that is
was a native method Of SalutatiOn "a sort
of "GoOd day, sirI" "Welcomel" or
their equivalents, but 1t isn't anything
of the sort. 1t is the Russian for tea.
and you hear the Indians begging for it
far beyond where the Russians them
selves had ever been trading on the
river.
AS this commodity first sought the
river in the hands OF the Russian ira
ders at nearly both ends of the great
stream flor the Yukon river, over 1900
miles long, heads within twenty or
thirty miles of the Pacific ocean,, it is
very likely that the Indians knew no
other name for it, and as they cultiva-
ted its taste, they also appropriated its
Russian name. With tea and tobacco
for trading material, traveller may
journey anywhere in Alaska and the
British northwest territory, ard as
long as it lasts lie will be supplied with
the current coin of the realm.

Facts Concerning Dreams.

A French physician, DR.. Delaunay,
tells some interesting fact about dreams.
These are embodied in communica-
ton to the Societe de Biologie Of Paris.
1t is well known, when person is lying
down, the blood flows most easily to the
brain. That is why some of the ancient
philosophers worked ont their thoughts
in bed Certain modern thinkers have
initiated this queer method OF industry.
During sleep, SO long as the head Is
laid low, dreams take the place OF cohe-
rent thoughts.
There are, however, different sorts Of
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 disagreeable dreams accompany
lying upon the back. This fact is ex.
planned by the connection which is
known to exist between the organs o.
sensation and the posterior part of Tho
brain.
The mosi general method of lying,
perhaps, is on the right side; and this
method, for many persons object to
lying upon the side OF the heart, which
it has been more than once asserted.
should have free action during sleep.
Nevertheless, DR.. Dalaunay's state
ments hardly harmonizs 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 es-
sentially those which enter into the
popular definition OF dreams. Ones
dreams are then apt to be Illogical, a5-
surd, childish, uncertain, incoheIent,
full of viyacity and exaggeration.
Dreams winch 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 sleeper5
frequently compose verses or rhythnli-
cal language while they are lying on
the right side. This verse though at
times correc enough, is absolutely with
out 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, but 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
laFt cida tho uvnrlG r1tfpraj dr1rtOfr Sirph
dreams are frequently comprehensive.

Hospitality In Africa.

We find a comfortable hut IN which

welcomed with true hospitality. This
is rendered more intense bya small dash
of tobacco. A good evening meal is
served and we throw ourselves down
upon couch of skins, and with Out

1t seems two or three members of the
family had occupied the room with US

BarDeIin= has Changed.

"Do you want your hair dressed?"
asked barber on Broadway day or
two ago after he had finished shaving
his customer.
"Yes, Of course" said the customer.
"YOu will excuse me for asking"
said the barber, "but l suppose you
know the style has changed now, so
that the barbering business amt what
it was by 500 per cent. Our swell Gus
toners don't have their hair dressed at
all. They simply run comb through
it. make halfway part, and let it lie
as it will. 1t looks kinder careless and
distinguished, you know, and not as
though gotten up for the occasion. a
few of our customers have their hair
brushed dry and parted accurately, but
they are in the very small minority.
As for oil we no longer keep it in the
shop, though We have little grease con-
.stantly on hand for the old.fashioned
customers who like it. As near as | car
understand from what our swell Gus
toners say, they hate to smell rs If
they'd come from barber shop \
good many club men who come here
Just have the razor passed over the face
once, and do not have bay rum put on
the chin or on the hair IL looks pretty
well, too, to my mind, because people
wear their hair short now, and If the
hair is cut short and allowed to grow as
it will, it is apt to give the appearance
of the head better outline than if the
hair is oiled and plastsre1 down sOlidlY.
cit is the same way with men who
wear boards. Only a few years ago Gus
Omers always had a little something
pat on their boards to make them stay
right, and they took kindly to a spray
of perfume after the work was done.
Nothing of that sort goes now, how.
ever. Boards are usually trimmed close
and brushed dry. It's big difference
from what it was when | went into the
business. At that time customers
kept bottles of lavender water at the
shop, used grease, cosmetics, and color
ing matter, insisted ON being shaved
close to the chin, and when they went
out of the shop and walked abroad any
body knew where they'd been if he
didn't come within ten feet OF them.
Any man could be barber Owadays
out 1t took an artist to arrive at any
emmence in his profession when l start

Tito a Tunnel OF Eire.

Train COG Of the Iron Mountain road
that arrived at the Union Depot at Z a.
M, on Oct. Sth, had a narrow escape
about IL 40 the night before that would
have resulted in the loss OF many lives
if the train had been fifteen minutes
later. 1t was between Fredericktown
and Marquand, 104 miles from st.
LOUIS, when the train containing one
baggagecar, two coaches, and one sleep
er, was rounding a short curve. The
engineer, named Boyle, observed that
bridge S72, which he was about to pass
through, about $50 feet in length, was
wrapped in one sheet of flames. To
stop his train, Boyle saw was impossible
at so short distance, and the only
alternative was to go through the bridge
on the track, or go through the small
stream that flowed below. The dash
was made safely throuh the flames, and
then a stop was effected. The train
hands all lent helping hand, and the
flames were extinguished, but not be-
fore large portion had been eaten
away by the fire. The passengers on
board the train did not learn how near
they were to death, as they lay stretch
ed out in sleep, AS stated by the train
men in charge, if the tram had been
only about fifteen minutes behind time
in reaching this bridge. the fire would
have burned into the supports, and, as
it would be impossible for the engineer
to stop his train, all on board would
have perished in a horrible death, either
by fire, water or in a collision.

The new marriage law OF Pennsy

The new marriage law Of Pennsyl-
yania requires explicit answers to a
series of questions before a license to
marry can be issued. These answers
nstitutefair biographies of those who
proposed to marry, and newspapers
awaited themselves of the mforma-
ton therein contained in their we'd
ding notices. And it having been ascer-
tanned that the practice Of publishing
the ages OF those who receive marriage
licenses has proved a serious obstacle
to marriage in Allegheny county, and
the Clerk Of the Orphans Court has
wisely decided to abandon the custom.
The embarrassment to blooming
brides Of all ages was keenly felt.
