THE EFFECT OF DREAMS.
Weird Experiences Winch Most of Us Can
Readily Believe,

For time immemorial dreams have
been the wonderland of waking hours.
Hope and fear have wrought them into
their own fabric. Superstition has
seized upon them and worked up a
curious ritual of "dreams of tie morn
ing light" or dreams with significance,
some of which seem natural enough,
while to a few of those apparently most
arbitrary science herself has offered a
certain amount of explanation.
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, it is absolutely unknown. A
French physlologist caused many cur
ious experiments to be made on him
self during sleep. These experiments
took the form OF trihing physical sensa-
tions, which produced almost invariably
a wonderfully exaggerated effect on the
sleeping mind. Thus a feather tickling
the lips was converted into the horrible
punishment of mask of pitch being
applied to the face. A bottle of eau
de cologne held to his .nose sent him
into a dream of perfumer's shop in

mysterious presages OF evils. ~
Conrad Gessner, the eminent natury
alist, dreamed that he was bitten on the .
left side by venemous serpent. In
short time severe carbuncle appeared
on the very spot, terminating his life in
the space of threedays. 1t is most
singular fact that under certain COM
6lned conditions of fatigue, discomfort
and malaria, whole bodies of men
such as companies of soldiers-have
been seized by the same terrific dream
and have awakened simultaneously,
shrieking with terror. Such an instanc :,
is related by Laurent, when, after
forced march, 500 French soldiers v.
packed in ruined Calabrian monasss
which could Ill accommodate that nu.z
Der. AT midnight frightful cries issued
from every corner of the building as
as frightened men rushed from it, each
declaring that it was the abode of the
evil one-that they had seen him in
the form of big black dog, who threw
himself on their breasts for an instant
and then disappeared. The men were
persuad, d to return to the same shelter
on the next night, their officers promis-
ing to keep watch beside them. Shortly
after midnight the same scene was re-
enacted-the same cries, the same
flight, as the soldiers rushed forth in a
body to escape the sufocating embrace
of the black dog. The wakeful officers
had seen nothing.

THE NERVE OF SOME MEN,

A restaurant man, of Lincoln, tells
this: There came in here stranger
of distinguished appearance. He
was naughty in his bearing; yes, very
naughty. He took a seat at table
and glanced over the bill of fare very
critically. Finally he ordered por-
ter house steak, with innumerable
vegetables. He asked me if | had
any new cucumbers. l hadn't any,
Well said this naughty gentleman,
send out and get some. And tell
your internal waiter that | don want
to become a centenarian before the
meal is brought me- l was deeply
impressed by his imperious manner,
and l rushed around and hurried the
cook, and in a very short time the
meal was placed before him, and it
was a nice one. He seemed to enjoy
it. He ate slowly, slipped three cups
of coffee, and repeated several of his
vegetable orders. Finally he con-
cluded the repast, and came to the
cashiers desk. where | was on duty.
He picked his teeth calmy, and then
said: L am ready Ready for
what?' l inquired. Ready to be
fired. | haven't a red cent Now,
how was that for unlaundered, double
and twist, fast dyed gall? How does
it strike you as sample of nerve
with wire edge and brass tip? l
was too paralyzed to fire him. l
just invited him to go, and told him
that if he ever came to my fashion
able rendezvous again l would
sweeten his coffee with sulphuric
acid. He smiled blandly and went
his tortuous way" And the pro-
prietor of the hash emporium sighed
YEARLY.
81 can recall another instance of
gall" he said, after while. when
was a boy l worked in a butcher
shop. The urbane butcher had an
old hound which outlived his useful
ness, but for which he wouldn't have
taken 81, 900. The dog used to lie
on the sidewalk in front of the shop
from morning to night. Well, one
day was in the shop alone, when a
gerteI and handsome stranger en-
tered, MY boy he said, in the most
pleasant manner in the world, would
you be SO good as to lend me a
cleaver for moment? Flattered by
his politeness to me, | Immediately
handed him the toy asked for. He
went out of the shop, and l heard a
dull, sickening thud. He returned
in a minute or two carrying the
cleaver, which was dripping with
gore. Now, my little man, said he,
as pleasantly as ever, tell your mas
ter when he gets another dog he
should keep it where people won't
stumble over it. This pleasant
stranger had hacked the poor old
dogs head off. The proceeding, l
think, was as cool as the Artic re-
gions. | don't see how such men

A WOMAN'S SMILE.

For good or evil the power of a
woman's smile is very great. 1t is the
outward and visible sign of talent of
pleasing which she mas received to be
an influence for good in the ordering
and government of the world. Men
are very much what women make them,
and 1t is by rightly using their talent OF
pleasing that women can make men
what they ought to be. The man at
the head of the house can mar the
pleasure of the houshold, but he can
not make it that must rest with woman,
and it is her greatest privilege. 1t is
one of the duties of women to beautify
the world, and especially their own
homes and their own persons, to ar
range the furniture and ornaments of
their rooms tastefully, and generally to
give a touch of seemliness to that part
of the world with which they have to
do To shed Joy, to radiate happiness,
to cast light upon dark days, to be the
golden threads of our destiny, the
spirit of grace and peace, is not this

we meet one who possesses the power
of enchanting all about her; her pres
ence lights up the house, her approach
is like cheering warmth she passes
by, and we are content; she stays
awhile and we are happy. She is the
aurora with human face.
In New Zealand cemetery on a
gravestone IS to be found, with the
name and age of the dead, the words,
"She was so pleasant !" What de-
lightful character she must have been
to have an epitaph like that ! 1t makes
one think that choir of nightingales is
perched upon her grave and singing
melodious chants to her memory.

ish child a few words let fall from her
lips in the ear of sorrowing sister did
much to raise the load of grief that was
bowling its victim down in anguish.
Her husband would come home worn
out with the pressure of business, and
feeling irritable with the world in gen
eral, but when he entered the cozy sit
ting room, and saw the bright fire, and
met the smiling face of this sweet
minded woman, he would succumb in
a moment to the soothing influences
which were like balm of Gilead to his
sinking spirits. The rough school boy
fled in rage from the taunts of his
companions to find solace in his
mothers smiles. All these and many
others who felt the power of her woman's
smile mourn tor her now that she has
gone, because "she was SO pleasant"

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID.

IL my husband had taken

not long since, che would have
rich man. About twenty-five y,
ago he had quite a large sum
money to invest, and l wanted him.
to put it into land in the suburbs that
was then coming into the market
and could be bought for very low
sum. l urged the investment, but
was only pooh poohed at, and told
very loftily that women knew moth
ing about business, and that he had
already made his plans for investing.
"Of course l said no more; what
was there to say when l had virtually
been hidden to hold my tongue? The
investment was made and never
amounted to anything. My husband
didn't even get back as much as he
put in, letting alone any profit. The
land l wanted him to buy jnmped
right up in value, and sold at least
at seventy five cents foot. said
nothing about his own investment. I
never even referred to it, and you
may be sure very little was said to
me, tut | knew all about it. Yet l
took great delight in innocently
quoting every raise of land in the
vicinity OF the place where wanted
him to buy. But the funny part of
it is, this didn't convice him. He
talked as loudly as ever about wo-
mems inability to do business, and
at the same time kept on making
investments that didn't pay.
81 said nothing. but managed
my own little property myself, just
as l thought best. 1t wasn't yer
much to begin with, but by caref
investments and by watching t.
markets, so as to know when to buy
and when to sell. I've got enough to
be perfectly independent of circum-
stances if my husband were taken
away and all his property lost. And
still women don't know anything
about business. Don't they? I'll
put my own ability againse any man

one that could have managed better
than | have done. And | haven't
neglected my home or my famil.-'
either. | have been a domestic wo
man, although in this latter capacity
| have been very quiet; but what
have done has told all the same. My
husband doesn't know how success
full | have been, He watches my
proceedings with patronizing sort
of amusement, evidently thinking
that he is a very indulgent man to
let me do what | please with my
own. Some day I'll astonish him,
though; see if don't"
With which terrible threat she
nodded a good-by and left the house

erty which she heard was to be sold
