OlOgist While Asleep.
From time immemorial dreams have been
the wonderland Of waking hours Hope and
fear have wrought them into their own fab
ric. Superstition has seized upon them and
worked up curious ritual Of dreams that |
go by contraries," Of dreams Of the morning |
light" Of dreams with significances, some Of |
which seem natural enough, while to few Of
those apparently most arbitrary, science her
self has offered a certain amount of explana
ton.
Dreaming is an experience which may be
called common to humanity, though it varies
so widely in different individuals that, in a
few exceptional cases, 1t is absolutely un
known. A French Psychologist caused many
| curious experiments to be made on himself
| during sleep These experiments took the
| form Of trihing physical sensations, which
produced almost invariably wonderfully OK
aggerated effect on the sleeping mind Thus
a feather tickling the lips was converted into
the horrible punishment Of a mask Of pitch
being applied to the face. A bottle Of eau de

Cat and Eagle.

A true story, the scene Of whioL Is
laid in Georgia, is told by The Union
Point Bee, and serves 10 commemor.
ale the deed of cat presumably equal
10 any situation.
One day the cat was trotting out
toward the barn, carrying in her
teeth a piece of meat for her young.
A bald eagle, which had been in the
habit Of lowering over the place, sud.
denly descended upon pussy, and
whirled her upward IN a RAPID verti-
cal hight. The path Of ascent, TO a
spectator watching the scene, was
clearly indicated by trifles OF loose
feathers violently tossed from the
point Of combat.
In time the struggling pair attained
D giddy eminence, and came TO a
standstill in the sky. The eagles
wings had dropped now and then, and
he had given plain evidence of pain
and terror, yet not once had hisa,;ful
grip appeared to relax.
At length a descent was begun, with
q rapidity which every moment in
creased, and the two animals struck
the ground at the very point where
they had first encountered each other,
but the eagle was dead, and pussy, as
soon as she felt terra firma beneath her
feet, shot away fer the barn, still car.
rying her original bit of meat.
Investigation proved that the cat
had cut the eagles throat, and so lac
Grated his breast that his body was lit
orally laid open. After his death in
mid air.. however, she had been too
clever TO relax her hold, and thus fall
10 the ground, but had let her enemy
serve as a parachute 10 ease the de.
scent. At last accounts pussy was
none the worse for her aerial fight
and battle.
