Length of Dreams.

Gently discussed in Germany, among
others by DR.. +. Scholz who has given
some striking examples from his own
experience and observation Ii is very
certain, however that the majority of
dreams are only Of momentary duration,
though extended occasionally To The
length Of minnie In proof Of this Dr,

STANLEYS MACHINE GUN.
1t Should Have Belonged to America,
But Does Belong to England.

1t Should Have belonged to America,
But Does Belong to England.
The prints of the English-speaking
world have been full of stories about
the machine gun which Henry M.
Stanley carried with him in his last
desperate venture in Africa And yet
it is an old story. 1t occurs to this
paper to properly tell it:
The weapon so much talked
about is a Maxim gun. 1t was in
vented by a citizen of these United
States. He was poor and sought ca
couragement from our Government
He got none. He went to England,
where they saw its merits-at once and
made him rich. So his gun Is under
control of the British government.
At the time when he commenced his
investigations the three great machine
guns of the world were the Calling,
the Hotchkiss and the Nordenhoff-the
first two American, the last English.
There was little difference in their
merits, save that the Hotchkiss was
lighter and made for ready transport
alton.
Maxim, an American boy, said to
himself: There are faults about these
machine guns.
1. The turning of the crank pre-
vents any thing like an aim. 2. Often
the cartridge hangs fire a little, but the
crank turns on and they explode at the
wrong time. 3. Most of all. the rapid
firing heats the gun SO that it is use
less and even dangerous in a few
seconds.
The Maxim gun overcame all these
defects. 1t is automatic. 1t needs no
crank. Pull the trigger once and it
continues to load and fire itself so long
as the supply OF cartridges last. The
power of the ''recoil does ali the work.
even to shooting a jet of water along
the barrel to keep it cool It fires
seven hundred shots minute, and all
that the operator has TO do Is to aim it.
This is the Stanley gun. You can
not see it in the United States now, for
it is owned by the governments of Great

1t is quite an item in handling poul-
try to keep them gentle, and it can
readily be done if proper care is taken
not to brighten them.
1t will be found good plan to take
out the old material and burn it after a
brood is Matched out and put in sup
ply of fresh material before using the
nests again.
While it is possible to keep eggs
some time before setting, still better
and thriftier young fowls will be
Matched if eggs not more than fifteen
days old are set.
II well cared for hen that is an ex-
ira good setter can be made to hatch
out ten broods without injury. A
good, large hen can care for twenty
chickens nearly if not quite as well as
for ten.
Hens that get into the habit of pull
ing feathers or eating eggs, unless es-
pecially valuable should be marketed
or made into pot-pie as soon as pos.
sible.

farming does not require large acre
age of land, while with management
it is possible to secure regular in
come every week.
The principal source of income from
pea-fowls is the feathers, though there
are many persons who like the taste
of the flesh sufficiently to enjoy eating
them. They require a long time to
fully mature.
The meat OF the common guinea is
dark and has something of a gamey
flavor that those who prefer wild fowls
to domestic ones relish. If in good
condition it makes an excellent table
fowl.
Turkeys and guineas rather more
than other fowls, seem to have dis
position to hide out their nests, and it
will often be necessary to watch very
closely in order to discover their hid
ing place. Guineas rather excel any
other kind of poultry in this respect.
As good feed as can be given to the
young poultry for a first meal is hard
boiled eggs chopped up fine. The
bane of raising young, thrifty poultry
is the feeding of too much cornmeal,
causing more or less disease and at
the same time increasing the cost.
A delay Of few days in getting
young chickens or ducks to market
will often make 80 much difference in
the price as largely to determine the
question of profit or loss. 1t is an
item in raising poultry for early mar
ket to push along as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
While with many it is not so con-
sidered, yet counting what is used for
the family table, poultry pays as large
a profit as any other class of stock
kept upon the farm. There is, too,
the additional advantage that what is
not marketed at a price that will pay
profit can nearly always be used to
good advantage at home and will add
much to the variety and healthfulness
of the food supply.-Cor. St Louis

are passed, and one cannot expect
wonders, he will effect results that
beforehand one would not have be-

Betty will have something jolly, per-

signed a fairy story, to another the
most matter-of fact volume of history;
to this book on natural history, to
that Scott's poems, to the third
Grimm; and so on for all the innu-
merable varieties of childish minds.
Not to discuss it at too great length,
it certainly does seem as if the scheme
were one which has but to be men
toned to commend itself instantly to
the intelligence of thoughtful people;
and there seems but one difficulty of
much magnitude. Children are plen-

A New Professorship.
From the June Atlantlc.]

From the June Atlantlc.l
Everybody who has had to do with
children knows how much thought
must be expended upon the subject
of the reading proper and best for
their young minds. In this progress
sive age it is well-nigh impossible for
grown people to keep up with the
rapid advance of the youngsters in
any field, and it is especially hard to
know what to give them that at once
they should and will read. If some
clever and cultured person we're in a
position to make this subject the Sc
rious business of life, then it might
be possible to come to something like
reasonable solution of the problem
and the thing that follows as the log
lcal sequence is that some such per
son should be put in position to
give his whole time to it. In other
Worus, Inere should be at once estah-
llshed professors of children's read
ing.
When such man is found, what a
blessed prospect of relief opens be-
fore many a wearied parent Tom is
sulky, or Betty is getting too senti-
mental to be endured, or Harry is ap-
parently dead to all sense of honor
Hates whole small soul is given over
to slothfulness, Dick will prevaricate,
or Nancy's temper is the terror of
the household. The professor of
reading will be called in; he will give
prescription just as the physician
