Exclamation Of Dreams

Surprising man to have been evolved
from lower and animal type, the in
stincts and impulses Of the animal state
would be most potent when, as in sleep.
the watchful inhibitory faculties, the re-
suit of civilization and development, are
dormant. In other words, the old prim-
tive animal is waiting close by to- come
IN and take possession when the evolved
soul has abdicated its function. That
would account for the fact that we sell
dom have any conscience in our dreams,
and do in them without the shade of q
shadow Of conjunction things which all
the wealth ard honors of the world could
not induce us to do in our waking hours.
The moral sense seems to be totally
wanting in dream
That is theory which does very well
lis far as it goes. But it does not by any
means cover the ground In the case OF
real imaginative dreamers, the dreaming
state of ten seems to be superior in point
of intelligence to the waking state; that
is to say, great flights are possible to the
mind then which are beyond the waking
consciousness. Ineffable conceptions,
celestial visions, intense reahzations Of
recognitions of spiritual things, which
sometimes survive in waking thought!
and really illuminate them. often fall t.

moral sense has no place in such dreams

GIGANTIC WORMS.
They Arc Natives of Australia, and at
 Lesst Six Feet Long.

They Arc Natives of Australia, and at
 Least Six Feet Long.
 The work of earth-worms in the operations of nature is |. very impor- tant one. Darwin has shown us that they are constantly occupied in making tho earth more mellow by perforating it with their galleries, and that they en- rich 1t by collecting in these subter- runcan passages earth that has been subjected to change in their intestines, and also leaves, which have fallen to the ground and are dragged into their retreats.
 But if tfese littlo beings can accom- plish such wonders it would be inter- csting to know whether the Megascolides Australis, an earth-worm of Australia has liko mission. This creature is of the size of an ordinary adder and at least six feet long. A writer in La Nature says that it is usually to be found on tho banks bordering small rivers, though it occasionally seeks tho open country, where one may come upon it by pulling up a stump or upturning the earth.
 It is not an easy matter to drag this gigantic worm from the winding galler- ies which form it's retreat. It glides about tho sinuous passages with great rapidity, initiating its anterior and pos torior extremities a will, and thus brac- ing itself against the walls which it renders slimy by 6 secretion from it's own body.
 ItsInoist substance slips easily through tho hands which would retrain it, and when once fastened to the adhesive walls of its home it eau only be removed by breaking it's length in two.
 Ehts giant among worms lives a com paratively peaceful life, since its physic- al features furnish admirable defense against such enemies as it might natu- rally have. Its body exhales a strong | ot;or similar to that of creosote, and it has the power of eiecting, to a distance l of several inches, jets of milky fluid. | Moreover, it's life is entirely subter- ranean ono, and thus it is secure from the attacks of cardivorous animals. I Naturalists, of course, have an inter- est in it's capture, and the aborigines uso the oily fluid into which the dead body of the creature resolves itself as a remedy for rheumatism, but it is not very actively sought. When such worms are once dragged from beneath tho surface, however, they lose the agility which, Antseus-like, they seem to gain from contact with the earth, and lie absolutely passive, making no attempt to move.

CHAPTER XXIIH.

All the stairs below where Sarah had slipped were safe and in their usual state, At tho bottom, an almost scnse- less heap, lay Sarah, ono arm twisted under her and her head III a pool of blood.

And then we crouched down and watched her. the cook supporting the wounded woman against her knee until the front door bell sounded and we heard the doctors heavy tread upon the stairs.
 It was Dr. Lowe. He said we were right about her arm being broken. He cut off her long black hair, bandaged her wounds, and then placing her upon a mattress she was carried to her own room.

Adventures of Detroit Judge and Sports
 man In Sunny Italy.

ANWu Au sunny At4Ays
 A strange story of adventure, occur ring under the most peculiar circum- stances, can be got by the novelist from the life of Judge Longworth, so we'll known in Detroit as Q lover of aquatic sport and as the owner of the yacht Minx.
 Tho judges travels took him to Italy, says the Detroit News. Once there his attention was attracted to tho brigands who still infest the country of hand organs and unrivaled sunsets. He at once conceived the novel idea of join ing some band of these freebooters and from this vantage-point studying the character of those whose real identity had been obscured if not lost in the long-maintained environment of legend, story and song. For one of the judges nature, to conceive was to act. He sought out the leader of widely-1nown band, declared himself a freebooter of the deepest dye, and by his inimitable grace of act and language won the heart of the chief marauder. He was re- ceived under the prestige of an indorse- ment that was moro to the brigands than any claim of law 0, morals.
 For two months the judge did more to enlivcn the mountain fastnesses than all tho rest of the merry outlaws combined. His stories were the best, his courtly manners the beau ideal of cultivated lawlessness. His hand was incapable of outrage or crime, and it is n part of this true revelation that had the judge re- mained much longer a member of tho band it would havc become impover- ished. He deftly managed to acquire a virtual leadership, and saved many Q traveller from paying the toll so ruth lessly demanded by the bandits. He | could shoot better than any of his self chosen companions, was their superior l in every thing that attracts even those who lack the qualities and abilities ad- | mired.
 | All of the band looked upon him as a | peculiar good fortune bestowed by some | kindly deity of lucky chance or fate, | and his advice WAS accepted where that | of others would have been violently re- | scented. To his associates he was the l pected that his solo purpose was to study | the Italian bandit in lifo and learn by | intimate association just who and what | he was. For eight weeks he was hap py, rollicking bandit, and when his pur | pose was accomplished he was guilty o
 a well-managed assertion, for bandits | like certain typ" of rt.ice-holders. may | die, but they can never resign. He got

 'Vcry well. miss" said Sarah, quietly. For the second time MT. Ray ner's name had acted like charm.
 After tea Mrs. Rayner came and stood by my side as Sarah was clearing the table and once when the latter was out of the room for moment she breathed softly into my ear:
 ''Take are-she hates you. and she is dangerous"

Then as l raised myself on my | elbow l thought heard slight sound outside my door. So kept still and listened intently. Again there was a 1 untitled noise as though something | were being showed from one staircase to another. l got out of bed softly and | lighted my candle. Then placing my ear to the key-hole heard the same shuf1iing sound again.
 Whoever or whatever it was seemed to be making its way down by very slow degrees, until it seemed that it must be about six or seven stairs from the top. screwed up my courage and resolved to give the intruder fright. 1 turned the key without the least noise, then the handle, and flung open the door, stamping my foot and bran dishing the candle. 1 heard Haidee scream; had forgotten her.
 My plan succeeded only too we'll. A | figure which ha been crouching on the stairs sprung Ur. It was Sarah. Before I had time 10 do more than | recognize the savage, frightened face, her foot slipped, and with a piercing cry, she fell backward down the stairs. The staircase had one turn. I, trem- bling at the Goor, saw her long, thin hands clutching and struggling to save herself at the corner; but she faile l, and heard a heavy thud, and then a groan. She had fallen headlong to the bottom.
 For one second I leaned against the wall unable to move; then, trembling so that 1 could scarcely find the top l But on the second stair my foot sudden. ly slipped, and, if had not been going very slowly because of my agitation must have fallen.
