Coincidence in the Sleeping Man.

Dreams have been regarded as an in
teresting subject of study ever since
scientific thought was born. Locke, the
essayist on the human understanding,
was Of the opinion that man did not
think at all when really asleep, while
modern investigators in this line Of
research believe that thought no more
ceases during sleep than watch prop
erly wound runs down in the hight
According to their notion, under such
conditions the mechanical functions of
the mind are active, though uncontrolled
by the judgment, and thus it happens
that ones dreams are apt to be unreason-
able and even absurd.
Could anything be more interesting
than to trace the progress Of dream, if
it were only possible? Think of the va
riety of experiences through which one
would be conveyed, untrammeled by
the limitations Of common sense which
restrict ones waking thoughts, and freed
from the moral responsibilities that en-
cumber the dOings of ordinary life.
Probability sets no bounds to the dream
er's vision, and even conscience is dor
mant, since the most righteous of men do,
on occasions, misbehave themselves most
shockingly in the strange Land of Nod

Nests in Queer Places.

In the journal of the Bombay Natural
History society Lieutenant H. E. Barnes
gives some interesting particulars about
the house sparrows of western India At
Deessa he found that pair had built
their nest in the antlers of sambur in
the veranda. Another pair had appro-
priated soap box in the bathroom, and
although their nest was destroyed sew
eral times they persisted in building a
fresh one till they were left alone out of
compassion.
A third pair actually built in a de-
serted bird cage hanging against the
wall, and there they reared their brood,
in spite of the fact that the cage was
often taken down and shown to visitors.
Once the eggs were stolen and the birds
made such fuss as led the residents to
find them Lieutenant Barnes also
states that these sparrows attack their
own image in looking glass, and will
fight it all day long, "only leaving off
when darkness sets in, to begin the
battle next day." twas found necessary

Is 1t To or Too?

The violation of the particle "to" is a
sin of continual growth. and not merely
by that insertion of an adverb between
it and the body Of the verb censured by
Taylor, but by total dislocation, as in
such cases as ''try to, "mean to, "going
to" and "obliged to-" DR.. Watts has
been taxed with its preparation in a
we'll known line which occurs in his
didactic rhyme for children, Let dogs
delight to bark and bite;" the probable
truth being that he wrote not "For it's

nature id est, the nature of bears and
tigers to growl and tight,) too" A mis-
print here is vastly more conceivable
than an ungrammatical trip on the part

I was on the alert for anything I could

fall some twenty feet above the stream

up the rocks he was enabled to reach the

The Neglect Of the Groom.

A person about to be married has sent
In . complaint for public consideration
against the constant neglect which the
bridegroom receives from the press, from
the friends of the contracting parties
and often from their immediate families.
All interest centers in the bride, whose
dress is described in voluminous detail,
whose bouquet is not considered beneath
mention, and whose face, blushing be-
meath her veil, is the most pleasing at
traction Of the wedding
The bridesmaids, lovely girls, futter-
ing in dainty colors, are worth more
than passing notice. The ushers, the
guests, and even the organist, are spoken
of in an appreciative manner Some
times there reconsideration shown to the
sexton of the church. But where is the
groom? There are columns of descrip-
tons of weddings in the daily press, and
in these columns the personality of the
groom is passed over without glimmer
Of apology.
How does the groom dress? What is
his choice Of flower? Do his gloves fit?
Are his shoes of patent leather? Nobody
knows these interesting details, although
they are undoubtedly important to the
neglected man. His presence is supposed
from occasional mention of the young

herself and her friends.
The fashion for cutting house dresses
pointed front and back continues.
If you have seen Sarah Bernhardt.
you will remember that many of her
gowns were cut low in the back and
high in front. BY this merciful little
scheme woman who has not pretty
throat and neck, but who is endowed
with pretty back, may show off her
good points without exposing her bad
ones.
An exceedingly pretty house dress of
pink foulard was cut high in front and
rather low in the back. The back came
down to point, and all round the point
there was deep founce of the pink
foulard dotted with black spots. The
sleeves were of the same material, and
were pulled to the elbows. The BODY
OF the waist and the skirt were of com
mon blue foulard, with large con-
ventional black design upon it. A belt
OF blue ribbon was crossed round the
waist and was tied in very large bow
upon the back. Around the neck there
was worn Il band of black velvet. npon
The effect of this house dress was ex-
tremely Frcnchy; the pink and the blue
and the black gave true Paris air to u
dress of rather plain material.
For house dresses the old black lace
gowns which have done duty for street
wear for the past two seasons NAV be
transformed and rendered fit for duty.
Indeed they may be made very beauti-
full if properly treated.
Rip the old lace dress all apart and
cut out the best parts of the lace. Of
course the dress is dreadfully torn-all
lace dresses are-but little darning
and mending will make it SO that 1t will
pass muster.
Get quantity Of bright goods of any
kind Challie will do nicely, although
foulard or some Of the other grades of
light silk are better. Use the lace for
draping the front of the gown and for
pulling upon the shoulders and upper
hait OF the sleeves. Make q largo
flounce deep enough to fall over the
shoulders and fastcn it with ribbon
round the neck SO that it has the an.
pearance of deep lace collar.
III enough OF the lace yet remains.
treat the bottom of the skirt to as deem
founcc as the material on hand will
permit, and when you have done this
you will find that your new dress will
be more admired than some OF the
gowns for which you have expended a
great deal OF time and money.

animal that looks half like n rat and

1t is as different in appearance from
what it was when it adorned the live
sable as can possibly be imagined
This year some new processes in pre-
pairing sable were discovered, and as a
consequence many new varieties were
found. So sable is by all odds the most
fashionable fur. Cloaks are seldom
made of it, but it is frequently seen in
combinations with sealsl1ins and other
furs. A perfectly beautiful sealskin
cape three-quarter length, may be
bordcred with sable tails, and when
completed nothing possibly can be
added to its glory, unless it be similar
