a Lifetime Crowded 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
q definite answer, and probably
enough dreams vary much in point of
duration, just as they vary in force
and vividness. At one time the figures
of a dream, whether they emerge from
the horn or the ivory gate, are as real
rs in life; the sorrow is even moro 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. Il is very certain, however.
that the majority of dreams are only
Of momcntary duration, though ex-
tended occasionally to the length Of a
minute.
In proof of this DR.. scholz tells the
following story from his experience:
After excessive bodily fatigue and a
day of mental strain, of not disagree
able kind, bctook myself to bed after
| had wound my watch and paced it
on the night table. Then lay down
beside a burning lamp. Soon found
myself on the high sea on board well
known ship. / was again young and
stood on the lookout. heard the rear
Of the water and golden clouds fioated
around me. How long | stood so /
did not know, but it seemed a very
long time. Then the scene changed.
| was in the country and my long dead
parents came to greet me; they took
me to church, where the loud organ
sounded. | was delighted, but at the
same time wondered to see my wife
and children there. The priest
mounted the pulpit and preached, but
Icould not understand what he said for
the sound of the organ, which con-
tinued to play. took my son by the
hand, and with him assembled the
church tower. but again tie scene was
changed. Instead of being near my
son | stood near an early known but
long dead ofiicer-I ought to explain
that was en- army surgeon during the
maneuvcrs. | was wondering why
the major should look SO young. when
quito close in my ears cannon
sounded. Terrified. | was hurrying
off, when / woke up and noticed that
the supposed cannon shot had its
cause in the opening of the bedroom
door through some one entering. 1t
was as if | had lived through an eter-
nifty in my dream, but when | looked
at my walsh | saw that since | had
fallen asleep not more than one min
ute had elapsed-a much shorter time
than it takes to relate the occurrence"
Dr. Scholz has collected many other
examples of similar kind. london

Progress We Conversation.

''Progressive conversation party us
the latest fad. This is how 1t is done:
1.-The ladies and gentlemen are equal
in number, and are seated in circle
by couples. A list of subjects for
conversation lie prepared in advance.
The subjects are placed upon slips of
ladies. one to each. AT "A signal each
lady announces her subject to her
companion, who for five minutes is
expected to lead in the talk on that
subject. No other subject than the
one given is allowed to be alluded to.
At the expiration of the five minutes
one minute is allowed for CONVERSE
ton upon any topic. Then each
gentleman takes seat with the lady
next to the right,and when the signal
is given he must begin talking upon
the subject suggested. Thus each
gentleman must converse upon as
many different subjects as there are
ladies. After they have gone the
circle round the ladies and gentlemen
change places, the former lead .ng in
the conversation upon new topics
The same is very pleasant AMI profit
able. Just who wins is not vesy
clear. and in the present embryonic
state Of the game there seems to he 1.
difficulty in deciding upon the prize
winners. Ii some cases the decision
is arrived at by the ladies balloting
their decision being formed by til.
merits of their respective partners

cases no decision is required"

Many writer's, trcatin. the subject

presents quite nbnorlnal proportions.
There il nothing to LASTLY this as

Italy was definitely constituted in

igration began to assume noticeable
proportions about tho ycar 1875, and
the total number Of einirsants regis
tered in the thirteen years, 1851 1887,
was LOS, 435. OF these, 100000, or
nearly half. passed into European
countries, the rest going beyond sea.
In 1871 the population ii the king

1851 it had increased t. as.459. 62S,

compare with those for Great Britain

United Kingdom was, In 1878. 33, 730,-
By, and in 1882. 37,091. 564. The area
is l20.832 square miles. For the ten

was 3, 09J, 1853, or only 355, 0GU less than
the whole registered increasesof popu-
lation for the same period This APP
parently stationary condition is partly
explained by the fact that there is a
steady reduction in Ireland, amount
ing. in ten years, to more than 4OO,-
0O0 persons: but the evidence is over
whelming that the emigration from
the United Kingdom is not only &C
tually, but relatively, vastly greater
than that from Italy. The British
population increased at the rate of
$50. 600 a year; the Italian, for the ten
years. 1871 1881. at the rate of 1885,
coo, and for the five years, 1892 1886,
at the rate of 296. 000 a year. So far
as growing population implies ma

America is going to the front so
rapidly in every direction that it is
hard to keep line on her progress.
a prominent dealer up town is author.
ity for the statement that this coun-
try now leads the world in the manu-
facture Of perfumes, an industry in
which the French have long excelled.
American perfumes, he said, ''can
be bought in London, Paris, Hong
Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Siam, Austria
liza. and even the Philippine and Sand
witch Islands. 1t is great mistake to
suppose that the use of perfumes is
vulgar. Coarse, rank oaors are, but
they are not perfumery. There is mag
netism in fine perfume. From the
most ancient times perfumes have been
held in high esteem. Solomon says:
ointment and perfume rejoice the
heart. Hippocrates, Criton and
other ancient physicians prescribed
perfumes as medicines, and it is
affirmed that when the cholera has
ragged in Paris and London those en-
ployed in perfumery factories escaped
the disease. The Egyptians poured
sweet scented oils on the heads of
newly arrived guests. The Persians,
Greeks and Romans usel perfumes as
offerings to the gods. The Greek ath-
letes amounted : their bodies with
scented oils daily. The Athcnians per-
fumed their wines with roses, violets
and SO forth. The Catholics used per-
fumed tapers and incense in their
churches as early as the year 964.
Charlemagne used perfumcry. as also
did. Philip Augustus in 1890. Eliza
beth, queen of Hungary, in 1870,
patronized the perfumer. while Cath
crime de Medici when she visited
France took with hcra famous Floren-
tine perfumer who taught the French
nearly all that they know today about
perfumery. In England the taste for
perfumery was chronicled in Shake
