A LIfetIme crowaea Into a Moment.

The question of the duration OF
dreams has recently been discussed in
Germany, among others by Dr. t.
SchOlz. who has given some striking
examples from his own experience and
observation. 1t is not possible to give
a definite answer, and probably
enough dreams vary much IN point Of
duration, just as they vary in force
and vjvidness. At one time the figures
Of a dream, whether they emerge from
the horn or the ivory gate, are as real
as in life; the SORROW is even more in
tense the happiness more realistic at
another time they seem TO live only IN
a pale moonlight. and we watch the
scenes rather than participate in
them 1t is very certain, however.
that tue majority of dreams are only
of momentary duration, though cX-
tended occasionally to the length OF q
minute
In proof Of this Dr. Scholz tells the
following story from his experience.

A rrenchman's Dish of snail..

The snail is TO American eyes a nause-
ating, Shiny creature, and the thought OF
eating one makes ones gorge rise. Not
so, however, TO the Frenchman, who
looks upon this psoverbially slow trav-
eler as the most delicious morsel that the
epicurean can roll beneath his tongue
He has not in mind the American snail
that draws his length along the stone
wall and is of small size, but his gigantic
brother that abounds in certain parts Of
France and England and feeds off tho
tender cabbage plant. The process that
leads to his presence on the table is in
teresting and peculiarly French In the
first place he is immersed in water
and scrubbed, then lie is covered with
salt until all his slime is withdrawn;
next he is bathed again in salt water,
then he is left for some time in a solution
made from all the appetizing herbs and
spices. The cooking Is the next process,
and with wine and one of those mysteri.
Gus sauces known only TO tho chef Fran
calse, he is served. The Partisan first
views the dish lovingly, and then, rails
pg the shell 10 his lips, he closes his
eyes and gently draws into his mouth
the succulent morsel, leaving the shell
empty. To the novice the idea is revolt

Why GOLD is GoING ABRoAD.-There
are two very apparent reasons for the
present expectation Of gold at season
when under normal conditions we shuld
be importing rather than exporting the
precious metal. The first is the foolish
rate cutting among the trunk line rail
ways. Foreigners are not only afraid to
invest in new American railway enter
prises, but in many instances are aLxious
to sell their present holdings of American
railway stocks because they do not see
how dividends can be paid In the face of
existing rate wars. The American secu
rites thus thrown upon the market by
foreign holders must be paid for In gold
when the balance of trade is against us at
present. Exchange.
