ABOUT DREAMS.
How Person Should Lie in Bed

How Person Should Lie in Bed
From Every Other Saturday.
A French physician, DR.. Delaunay,
tells some interesting facts about
dreams. These are embodied in COM
munication to the Societe 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 theancient philosophers worked out
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 coherent thoughts.
There are, however different sorts of
dream; and DR.. Delaunay's purpose,
in his original communication, is to
show that the manner of lying brings
on particular kind ofdream. 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 of
sensation and the posterior part of
the brain.
The most general method of lying,
eprhaps, is on the right side; and this
| appears to be also the most natural
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, DIR. Delaunay's state
ments hardly harmonic with this
| opinion. When one sleeps upon the
| right side, that is to say, upon the
right side of the brain, ones dreams
| have marked and rather unpleasant
characteristics. These characteristic
however, are essentially those which
enter into the popular definition OF
dreams. Ones dreams are then apt to
| be Illogical, absurd, childish, uncertain,
incoherent, full OF vivacity and ex-
| aggeration. Dreams which come from
sleeping on the right side are, in short,
simple deceptions. They bring mind
very old and faint remembrances, and
they are often accompanied by night
mares. DIR. Delaunay points out that
sleepers frequently compose verse or
rhythmical language while they are
lying on the right side. This verse,
though at times correct enough, is alb
solutely without sense. The moral
faculties are then at work, but the in
| tellectual faculties are absent
| On the other hand, when person
slumbers on his left brain,' his dreams
are not onl yless absurd, they may
also be intelligent. They are, as arule,
concerned with recent things, not with
"reminiscences. And, since the faculty
of afticulated language is found in the
left side, thewords uttered during such
dreams are frequently corprehensible.

about big enough for q hen to go
through. You'll hardly believe me
when I tell you that five weeks ago
there was road five feet high
running down there. On Sunday
evening the deputy bailiff was going
his rounds to see that all was
right for the night men-who repair
roofs and keep the roads good-to
come down when he found his fve-foot
way contracted to a height of only
two feet. He crawled through to see
what had happened, and fortunately
got back safely before a flood ofwater
burst through the spongy, fre-clay
floor, which it had crushed up in such
a remarkable manner. All the work
ings below this point were flooded and
are not in fit condition for coal get
ting How much worse it must be in
fiery mines, where gasses rush out in
thesame sudden manner, dealing death
to scores of hapless colliers. We have
no such awful perils in this pit, thank
God! Yet our men have ample hard
ships and dangers to face. Now that
you have seen them work, don't omit
when occasion serves, to say good
word for those who do so much for
England's prosperity-ourc colliers."
With which parting words our oblig
ing cicerone put us under care Of a
subordinate, who led us back safely.
by the way we had come, and brought
us up out of the horrible pit into the
cheerful light of day.

Christopher Did Not Discover
America.

Pail Mall Gazette: A short timeago'
we referred to the violent dispute 60
ing on in Central America as to the
last resting-place of Columbus, San
Domingo and Cuba being the claimants
for this honor. The question has been
raised whether Columbus ever set loot
ON the American Continent at all 1t
was commonly believed, and is stated
in most modern histories. that tbs
great navigator in his fourth and last
voyage landed ON the coast belonging
to the present Republic OF Honduras
Three years ago Don Soto, the Presi-
dent of the Republic, desired to com
memorate this great event by creating
O. new administrative district ait ths
place and calling it Colon. But he de-
ternined first to look into the origt'
nal authorities himself, and having
done so found reason to doubt the ac-
curacy of the popular bei1ef ON tne
subject Having communicates MS
doubts to Don Milla, a learned Guate,
| malan, who has written a history OF
Central America, i'll (which he repro
duees the usual statement, the latter
| re-examined all the documents OF the
time and came to the conclusion that
an error had arisen through misrep.
resentation of single passage IN an
| old chronicler, and that Columbus re
ally never landed on the continent.

WE ALL LIKE SHEEP.

''We all like sheep" the tenors shrill
Begin, and then the church is still,
While back and forth across the aisle, Z
is seen to pass the Catching smile. #
1--WE all like sheep" the altos moan
In low and rich and mellow tone, l.,
While broader grows the merry grin =
And nose gets further off from chin.
awe all like Sheep" sopranos sing :
Till all the echoes wake and ring;
The young folks litter, and the rest
Suppress the laugh in bursting chest. :
''We all like Sheep" the bassos growl-
The litter grows into howl,
And e'en the deacon's face is graced
With wonder at the singers taste.
We all like sheep" runs the refrain,
And then, to make their meaning plaln'
The singers altogether say, :,

In the meantime my two friends
were shocked at the success OF their
story, and were not O. little alarmed
at my sudden Journey to Paris, which
| was attributed by others to legal busi-
ness. George and Albert then began
to fear that 1 really believed in the au-
thenticity of the invention they had
| concocted.
Three days after my return they
came to see me with long faces
'sMy dear Louis" said George, "you
know your cousin is not dead.;'
"Icannot be sure of that" Ireplied
ssfor am bv no means convinced OF
his existence.
'eWell, but you know that this in
heritance is only hoax"

are the only people who are OF that

which we are sincerely sorry"

ed to you"
"But it is our duty to- contradict it,
and to confess, how foolish We have
been"
Truth cannot remain long geoneealed.
People began to, wonder that no, news
came from Martinique; the wise and
prudent shook their heads ominously
when my name was mentioned.
'"The most ludicrous feature In the
case is" said one, ''that he has: ended
by believing in the truth of his own
invention. For my part, l must say

On seeing a. dozen letters ON my ta-
BILE one morning, guessed that the
bubble had burst. Their contents
were much alike. For instance:
"Mr. Mayors respects to Mr.. Mer

meet, will feel obliged by a check fol
the amount of the inclosed."
"My replies disarm all doubts ofmy
solvency: --...-
''Mr. Meran thanks Mr.. Mayer fol
having at last sent in his account, and
incloses check for the amount"
My cool and unconcerned demeano1
kept curiosity alive for few days
longer.
''What a lucky fellow" said one.
"Luck has nothing to do with it"
rejoined another.
''He has played his cards well and
has won."
Once or twice, I felt compunction. o

convinced me that my own exertions
had no share in my good fortune, ant
I owed it all to the universal public

The s3COward' in Battle.

Here is regiment with it's right flank
resting ON the woods-its left in an
open field near a group of hay-stacks.
Three pieces of artillery IN front have.
been playing into the pine thickets half
mile away for the last ten minutes,
but without provoking any reply.
Watch this man-this Second Lieu
tenant of Company f. He is almost
giant in size. He has fierce eye, g.
roaring voice, and men have said that
he was as brave as a lion. When the,
regiment swung into position and the
battery opened he said to himself:
elbow foolish in us to- attack the
enemy when he was seeking to retreat!
This blunder will cost us many lives.
Our fire will soon be returned, and it
will be goodbye to half our regiment.

give all the money Ihope to ever have"
AS three-fve-ten minutes pass
away and the fire is not returned, the
coward begins to pluck up heart. He
busters at the men, tries to joke with
the officers on his right, and says to-
himself:
:sEgad! but this may turn out all

here to be shot down in this way?
What fool I was not go on the sick
list last night? Ii it wasn't that so
many are looking at me, I'd lie down

| Another shell-a third-fourth-fifth
and thirty or forty men have been
killed. Men won't stand that long.
They must either retreat or advance.
"We shall advance" whispers the
coward. ''The order will come to
dash forward and take those guns.
Shot and shell and grape will leave
none of us alive. What folly to ad-

An aid rides up to the colonel and
gives an order. The colonel rides to
the head of his line and orders the lines
dressed for an advance. The men
dress under a hot fire, and the coward
groans aloud.

GRAND MASQUERADE.
Another Elegant Display Of Comical
and Fancy Costumes at H. B.
Coughs Roller Rink.

Coughs Roller Rink.
Thursday evening last was the
scene of another of IL. i. Coughs
grand masquerade carnivals at his
rink in this place. This time the
costumes worn by the many partici-
pants were of superior quality and
excellence to the masque held about
month ago. About so maskers
skated for the prizes, which were 81.
in money and q chrome valued at 81.
About 400 tickets sold which mas
have netted handsome sum to the
proprietors of the rink. Among
those masking we noticed Wallace
Ballentine of Krockway, represent
ing w. II. Vanderbilt; George Nc
Intyrc, of Brockway, made an ex-
ocllent clown, he had better keep
out Of Barnum's sight; Mr.. butcher
of Peck, represented a Sir Knight
Templar, Alex. Tucker of Peck, rep
resented a general and took the prize
for being the best mimic in costume
on the floor. Kittie Carroll was the
finest mimic we saw on the floor in
the person of old grandma, her old,
bent and shaking form being well
made up and better acted out than
anything on the floor. Geo. Allen
was very comical in his representa-
tion of an old Jew tramp, and acted
well his part. Albert Emery made
a monkey of himself by getting into
someone's carpet rags. Hi. Snider
was prominent in the type of n fat
old negro. Miss c, Boice and Laura
Grandy skated together and counted
their beads as nuns. Mark Grandy
represented zouavc to good advant-
age. Miss LIZZIE Nanscriber took
the part Of q gipsey queen to good
advantage. Miss JOSIE Rapley took
the lady's prize for being the best
mimic in costume, she representing
the Queen Of night. Rebecca Heb
ner looked very nice in her queen of
morning costume. Jerry Paisley
made very fine soldier and his easy
and graceful movements en- the floor
won for him 4 host Of admirers.
Miss Sarah Rapley looked very fine
IN her opera costume. May Stevens
made good appearance as an old
lady with her cane. Joe Allen wore
his regulation Indian suit and skoot-
ed around the rink at a terrible rate.
Nettie Bell looked very handsome in
her white costume and was admired
by all. Elisha Cough as Jesse James
made q very good outlaw, but his
% cent toy pistol was not the exact
thing for to make raid on whole
settlement with. Johnnie Merritt
acted the part of Ounce negro to per-
lection. Chas. Mackman made a
good representation of Spaniard.
Geo. Raymod was good wench and
caused considerable commotion with
his funny antics. Take it all in all
and the masque was grand success.
This time judges were chosen from
entire strangers who were partial to
none. We noticed number of other
persons from other places present,
but as they were not masked they
did not skate for the prize.
