Hundreds or Thousands t!

Conway Springs Star: 1.-The sugar
works started up for the seasons run
Monday, but from a lack of cane has
not run steadily. The ponderous and
complicated machinery works like a
charm. The manager informs us that
they have obtained the best diffusion
ever got from sorghum-less than four
tenths of one per cent. loss. Careful
experiments show the juice to be sever
al degrees higher in sugar than last
year, and the experts claim that fully
one hundred pounds of sugar will be
made to She ton of cane. The electric
lights were adjusted Thursday and the
factory ran until about nine o'clock at
night. Work already done shows ca
pacity of 100000 tons per day without
effort, and by crowding, $4,000 tons could
be disposed Of. AS soon as sufficient
cane comes in, which will be next week,
the FACTORY will be run night and day"

DREAMS co BY coNTRARIEs.
Experiments Made Upon Freneh Physi-

From time imrnemorial dreams have been

fear have wrought them into their own fab

worked up a curious ritual of dreams that

light" Of dreams with signifcances, some Of
which seem natural enough, while TO a few OF
those apparently most arbitrary, science. her
self has offered certain amount OF eXpiana-
ton.
Dreaming is an experience which may be
called common 10 humanity, though it varies
so widely in different individuals that, IN a
few exceptional cases, it is absolutely un-
known. A French physologst caused many
curious experiments to be made on himself
during sleep These experiments took the
form Of triaing physical sensations which
produced almost invariably wonderfully ex.
apceratea effect on the sleeping mind. Thus
a feather tickling the lips was converted into
the horrible punishment Of a mask Of pitch
seng applied to the face A bottle Of eau DC
cologne held to his nose saHt him intoa dream
Of a parfumers shop in Cairo. A pinch on
tho neck recalled the days Of his boyhoodan and
the old family physician applying blister to
that region
Scientific writer's admit that there is q type
of dream in which coming physical disease or
disaster is shadowed forth-somo bodily sen
sation, perhaps foresight 90 be noticed 10y the
subject when awake, yet contriving TO im-
press itself in some symbolic form on the
sleeping mind The more striking instances
Of this sort may serve 70 explain how, In
some lesser degree, certain symbols are likely
TO attach themselves 20 certain painful sensa-
tions or conditions, until at last they are
finally accepted as mysterious presages Of
evil.
Conrad Gesner, the eminent naturalist,
dreamed that be was bitten on the left side
by venomous serpent. In a short time a
severe carbdncle appeared on the very spot,
terminating his life in thespace Of three days
It is a most singular fact that under certain
combined conditions Of fatigue, discomfort
and malaria, whole bodies of men-such as
companies Of soldiers-havo been seized by
the same terrific dream, and have awakened
simultaneously, shrieking with terror. Such
an instance is related by Laurent, when after
a forced march, 800 French soldiers were
packed in a ruined Calabrian monastery
which could i'll accommodate half that
member
At midnight frightful cries issued from
every corner Of the building as frightened
men rushed from it, each declaring that il
was the abode Of the evil one-that they had
seen him, in the form Of big black dog, who
threw himself upon their breasts for cn ia
slant and then disappeared Tho men were
persuaded TO return to the same shelter on
the next night, their officers promising to
keep watch besdet them Shortly after mid.
night the same scene was re-enacted-the
same cries, the same flight, as the soldiers
rushed forth in body to escape the suffo-
eating embrace Of the black dog. The wake
ful officers had seen nothing. g.-ArgoSy.

assistance Of the negligent and ignorant
negro. There have been months during
which the venal negro might have
qualified himself to vote II he
had cared to pay his taxes. He never
cares to pay them. The managers Of the
Republican party do not care to pay
them for him till an election is on, then
they howl against the Democratic officers
on trumped up charges Of delay. 1t
seems pity that with all
their money, all their venal and
ignorant vote and all of
their claims to superior intelligence,
patriotism and love for the flag. that
they cannot obtain their rights. II
seems singular that they are constantly
bowling stop thief for some cause Oh
other. It is difficult to give them much
sympathy but we stop to drop teal

Last summer there was a parrot on Third
avenue that used to stay out Of doors the
greater part Of the day. In the next house
was a scolding woman She used 20 scold
every minute, either her husband, or the chill
dren, or the cat, and soon the parrot began to
mimic her. Between the two, the neighbors
nearly went distracted. But pretty soon the
woman stopped She could hear the parrot
mockiRg her, Cries Of "Stop your noise, -

out that she was having the fun all to herself
sho stopped, too. Now, not q word Of scold-
ing is heard in the Third street house, and
Polly sings and whistles her old time ditties.
