to go on the street to beg to get money

with friends, and recently took her to
his own place. Not having con-

Puck could put girdle round about
the world in 40 minutes, but he was
slow compared with the most ordinary
dream. We survey mankind in China

Many stories are told showing the diff
ferent count of time Loud Brougham
relates that he dreamed dream of long
continued action during q short doze
while q droning counsel was pleading
before him. Lord Holland fell asleep
while listening to some one reading,
dreamed long dream, and awoke in
time to hear the conclusion Of sem
tence the first words Of which were in
his ears when he became unconscious
Dr. Abercrombie relates that gentle
man dreamed that he had enlisted for a
soldier, Joined his regiment, deserted,
had been apprehended, carried back,
tried, condemned to be shot, and at last
led out for execution. After all the
usual preparations he awoke with the re-
port, and found that noise in an adjoin-
ing room had both produced the dream
and awakened him.
Another dreamed that he had crossed
the Atlantic and spent a fortnight in
America. In embarking on his return
he fell into the sea, and, having woke
with the fright, he found that he had

No Matter How Cold He May BE He Ia
Never Heard TO Complain.
The Indian in winter is in most in
stances a sorry, rueful bird. There is
this remarkable trait in his character,
however: No matter how deep his physi-
cal woe, let his blanket be ever so scant
and thin and the blizzard ever so knife
like and piercing, he stands it like q stole.
A white man under similar conditions,
observes a writer in the Kansas City Star,
swears and curses and assails his luck,
and assures the word Of his resolve TO
have a vast and comforting change; an
Indian undergoes the pinch without
q murmur, and will even freeze with no
more row about it than river.
They are prone to do the best they can
under the limitations Of circumstances.
/ remember a winter in New Mexico the
nights whereof were cold enough even
for an iceman. The mornings of each
day were by no means sultry, and until
II O'clock the thermometer was generally
content to put in the time somewhere in
the vicinity of the 20 degree mark. One
morning early, while the frosty air bit
like a bulldog, 1 saw an old Navajo with
about enough on him, counting blanket
and all, to flag a hand car, very busy in
the collection of a heap of splinters,
twigs, and chips. Where he had put in
the night could not even be guessed at
but he was getting ready for fire now.
He continued his efforts until he had
amassed a collection about the size and
contour of bushel basket
Then some two feet away he started q
little fire that a pint of water would
have extinguished. This became a
cracking success, he wrapped his thread
bare blanket about the upper part Of his
body and over his head, and lay down
on his face, with leg on either side of
his fire, said legs being disposed in a
sort of parenthesis, so as to bring them
fairly within reach of the genial in
fluence. The old buck would "snooze,
laid out in this fashion, for about 20
minutes, and then, the fire dying low,
would raise himself enough to reach his
little store of combustibles with one
hand and transfer small supply to the
blaze. Then his slumbrous head would
drop, the fire would recover, and affairs
go smoothly for another 20 minutes
when the play would be repeated. He
got in some six hours in this way very
successfully, arising at 10 IN, and beg
ging me for his dinner.

A negro had gone to sleep in the sun
on the platform of a railway station,
says the Detroit Free Press, and some Of
the boys put up job to have some fun
with him. A bag of shelled corn was
laid across his knees, second on his
stomach, and third on his head. As
the weight didn't waken him, another
bag was placed on his stomach, making
about $40 pounds resting there. He
snored away for three minutes, grew
uneasy, began to mutter, and at the end
of five threw the sacks off and sat up
and looked around in a dazed way.

Women,s Yorl, In selence.

The steady increase of patents granted
TO women since scientific studies have
been opened to them explains in part
why inventions by that sex have been
heretofore so rare A list recently pub
lished gives the number Of patents
granted to women inventors by the
United States Government from the
year 1890 to July /, 1888, as 2, 800 After
1909 to 1915 only one patent was issued.
From 1857 the number of women in
ventors increased rapidly. In 1870 the
number was go; in 1887 the number
reached 179 If last years list were
published it would probably show a still
more rapid advance. And these inven.
tions take wide range, from mere
household and dress inventions to rail-
road journal boxes and submarine tele-
scopes, In addition to the better scope
and invitation for inventive genius
which wider knowledge gives, the more
independent position Of women now re-
quires less moral courage on their part
TO apply for patents than would have
been necessary at an earlier period, -
