FACTS CONCERNING DREAMS
How q Person Should lac in Bed-HoW
Dreams Are Modified.

How q Person Should Lie In Bed-HoW
Dreams Are modified.
Every Other Saturday.
A French physician, DR.. Delaunay.
tells some interesting facts about dreams
These are embodied in a communication
to the Societe de Biologie Of Paris. 1t is
well known, when a person Is lying down,
the blood flows most easily to the brain.
That is why some of the ancient philoso.
pliers 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
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 accord.
ing TO this investigator. uneasy and dis.
agreeable dreams accompany lying upon
the PACK. This fact is explained by the
connection which is known to exist be-
tween the organs of sensation and the
posterior part of the brain.
The most general method Of lying, per.
haps, is on the right side; and this ap.
pears to be also the most natural method,
for many persons object to lying upon
the side OF the hear, which, it has been
more than once asserted, should have
free action during sleep. Never
theless, DR.. Delaunay's statements
hardly harmonic with this opinion.
When one sleeps on the right side. that is
to say. upon the right side of the brain,
ones dreams have marked and rather I'm.
pleasant characteristics. These charac-
terlstiOS, however, are essentially those
which enter into the popular definition Of
dreams. Ones dreams are then apt to be
illogical, absurd, childish, uncertain, in
coherent, full of v~ivacity and exaggera-
ton. Dreams which come from sleeping
on the right side arc, in short, simple de-
ceptions They bring to mind
very old and faint remembrances, and
they are often accompanied by night
mares Dr. Delaunay points out that
sleepers frequently compose verses or
rhythmlcal language while they are lying
on the right side. This verse, though at
times correct 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
slumbeFs on bis left brain his dreams are
not only less absurd, they may also be in
telligent. They are, as a rule, concerned
with recent things, not with reminis.
cences. And, since the faculty of articu.
lated language is found in the left side,
the words uttered during such dreams are
frequently comprehensive.

An ARCTIC Attraction.
(Arkansaw Traveler.l

Mr.. W. Mattein Williams remarks that
the popular notion that mosquitoes are
chiefly resident in tropical and sub.trop.
ical countries is quite a mistake, the home
Of their mightiest legions being within
and about the Arctic circle. On coasting
trips to the North cape even, vessels are
invaded by ~maddening swarms at every
stopping place. 1t is reported that in
Alaska they form clouds SO dense that it
Is impossible for sportsmen to aim at

times killed by them, and ever the great

h Becomes of the Mourning Drapery.
New York SUM-

lN6W 1OFk Oun.J
The question is often asked what be-.
comes OF all the material used in this
general draping, which in a city
like New York amounts to millions
OF yards. A reporter made in.
quiry along Broadway in regard to this.
At the time Of Lincoln's death it was
very commonly appropriated as the per.
qulslte OF the porters, and their families
were well supplied with materials for
sheets, pillow cases, undergarments, dress
Innings, and frequently for dresses. After
Gartelds funeral the merchants were in
vited to send their drapings to the hos
pitfalls and asylums, where the goods came
into ready use and were most acceptable,
Though this was essayed to be done gen.
orally, as the shipments were made under
the direction Of the porters, those gentle.
men did moi fail to get their full share,
though possibly dividing fairly with the

cially those on Broadway and the whole.
salers, goods once used for such a pur-
pose are considered no longer of any
value. Small retailers may sell their
damaged goods, but the greater mass is
absolutely cast aside. When the charac-
ter Of the goods now being used is consid-
cred, it will be seen that there will be
rich pickings for somebody after the
funeral. Many stores are wholly covered
with black cashmere, worth from 80 to
40 cents a yard. Others have used bonn
bazine, which is ever more costly. In
some cases broadcloth has been freely
used, several establishments requiring
hundreds of yards of this expensive mate,

pitfalls will be wise in making timely ap.

IErank Iasliais Illustrated 1

The incendiary fires which have become
common in Russia, are attributed to the
Nihilists, who are said to have adopted
this new plan because 1t is attended with
less danger to the culprits than their old
plan of murder, and is equally effective in
spreading terror among the people. The
house.holders of Moscow are now in
nightly terror. Many families appoint
one member to watch oil night, and to
give the alarm to the rest on the approach
Of q conlagration.

PREVENTIVE
OF Typho- Malarial Fever and Our
for Rheumatism at Last
Discovered

By the firm of Hughes Bros, manu-.
featuring chemists OF Dallas, Texas.
This enterprising firm have for the
last five years been engaged in the
manufacture of baking powders, wines,
cider, vinegar, etc. DIR. f. E. Hughes,
who presides over their laboratory,
has for the last forty years been en-.
gagged in the study and practice OF
medicine and chemistry. They also
have in their laboratory Prof. Geo. c..
Calhoun, who has for many years been
q teacher Of chemistry, also Mr.. J..
Price Warrick, q graduate OF chemistry
In the University of Philadelphia.
These gentlemen in manufacturing
the various articles already mentioned,
have found 1t necessary to combat ex
cessive lamentations, whether vinous,
acetous or alcoholic, which have ever
stood In the way OF successfully man
ufacturing wine, vinegar and alcohol
in our Southern climate. The expert
ments have resulted in the discovery
OF an agent which completely obviaJes
this difficulty. This agent Is the ex-
tract OF the bark of tree indigenous
to the state OF Texas. Carrying their
experiments still further, they have
ascertained that this same extract
as completely controls the only re-
naming fermentation known to the
arts and sciences, viz: Blood fer
mentation, which Is the cause OF fe-
vers as well as Of rheumatism. This
agent they have combined with the
extracts Of ginger and lemon, thereby
rendering 1t a most efficaclous as well
as delightful and palatable beverage
1t is not only one OF the best tonics In
its effects, but the use Of it effectuaIly
prevents typho-malarial fever. AT the
same time 1t lie sure cure for rheuma-
tism. DIR. Hughes Extract Of Lemon
and Ginger is put up in cases Of two
dozen bottles, and can be found at all
hrst-clahs drug and grocery stores.

GLEN ROSE, TEX, April IA Glen
Rose has taken on little boom in the
building line. Col. J. Il. Morgan OF
Dallas has bought ten acres of ground
and has the carpenters at work build
ing fourteen cottages and one main
building for hotel accommodation for
summer visitors. He expects to have
them ready for occupants by the 18th
Of May. This is good move in the
right direction. There are others talk
ing Of building hotels which, If done,
will make Glen Rose the great sum-
mer resort of TeXas.
This county was visited last Satur-
day by severe hail-storm, which did
considerable damage to the fruit and
vegetables. We are having cool, damp
weather, which is retarding vegeta
ton. The farmers are not discour-
aged but are looking forward to q
bountiful harvest and better times.
Merchants here are not complaining OF
hard times but are doing better than
they expected, considering the failure
of crops last year, and are looking for
ward to q good trade this summer, as
the town is expecting several thousand
visitors to the springs, If accommoda-
tions can be had.

town before come here, and are sur.
prised at the great natural advan'
tages W possess, and wonder why the
town has not attracted attention be-

A large delegation from Walnut
Springs visited us Sunday last, and
went away well pleased with their
visit. The artesian wells on the
square and in every yard are the won
der OF all who come here.
The new Jail is now empty, the only
prisoner and occupant having cut his
way out q few days before district
court convened. There were three in.
diotments for felony against him, and
he concluded he had better go. His
name Is Joe Burk, and the officers
here will be pleased to hear from him
occasionally.
There has been considerable sick
ness in the county this winter and
spring, mostly pneumonia, and sew
eral deaths, but ct the present time
the doctors have little to do, and til,
drug and pill line is quiet.
The farmers are very busy, as arc
also the cowmen. The latter are try
ing to roundup what few cattle they
have left after the severe winter. Cat
tie are still weak, and few still sue

pared with losses in the other portions
