Conscience in the Sleeping Man.


Dreams have been regarded as an in
teresting subject 9f 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 a watch prop
erly wound runs down in the night
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 We're 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-
aulnber 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, Inisbehave themselves most

AnnihIlated in nridair.

About o'clock, just before the heavy
shower, several gentlemen were sitting
IN front Of a store in West Nashville
when one of the party observed large
turkey buzzard that was sailing males
tically across the sky, and remarked that
If the buzzard did not look out he would
get wet.
Their attention was thus called to the
bird, and all were lazily watching it's
fight. when suddenly. just as it was op-
posite to and above them, they were
blinded by flash of lightning, which
seemingly exploded on the back of the
buzzard They were astonished some
what. but recovered themselves and
looked for the buzzard, but. alas, the
majestic bird was out of sight. All that
was left of him was a few black tail
feathers. which huttered pathetically to
the ground.
Those who witnessed the phenomenon
succeeded in catching several of the
scorched feathers, which they exhibit in

Mr.. Sears Imported Ranorbaeks.

The Tamworth hogs, which j. Mont
gomery Sears has imported for breeding
purposes, are an old English breed char
acterized by the large proportion of lean
meat to the fat in its make up. Ithas of
late been overlooked in the effort to breed
for fat, hence has seldom been mentioned
or heard of. Mr.. Sears has called public
attention to the breed by his imporsa-
hons, and still. others now have them
under trial. They are medium in size,
light in the shoulder, deep sided, and
rather fat as compared with the modern
models, and .'red" in color. Their recon-
mendation Is that they are unlike the
rounded balls of fat that have been fur
nishing us our models.-Bangor Com

British Eccentricity.

1t is hard for an Englishman to say
whether his own countrymen are really
more eccentric than other people. He is
told they are; but how is he to know that
the information may not be built solidly
upon prejudices The saying, ''Oh, he's an
Englishman," with the shrug of the shoul-
ders that means SO much, is often indeed
commonly put forward abroad when there
is talk of the doings of this or that man,
whose ways are not like the ways of the
herd of mankind.
Some Englishmen don't appreciate this
sort OF thing. They get in a rage with the
foreigner who charges them with being of
an eccentric race. But, for my part, /
always take it as compliment, bow and
express my obligations and assure the
speaker that trust he does not intention
ably hatter me and the countrymen of
whom am so proud
On the other hand. however, every one
who has been even but for a few months
among the people of the Continent can not
help coming to the conclusion that we
English folk have not the monopoly of ec-
centricity.-All the Year Round.

Tea win Deteet Poisons.

tea, without sugar or cream, is one of the
best of agents for the detection of suspected

travels, at a little country inn, whose buxom

pitcher of sirup. There was talk at that
time-it was several years ago-about the
adulteration of some sirups, and this par

a cup of tea be brought to me first, and

The Neglect OF the GROOM.

A person about to be married has sent
in a 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 is consideration shown to the
sexton of the church But where is the
groom? There are columns of descrip-
tions 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
couple, and he probably may be seen
skulking around the corner of the pull
pit; but he is evidently in hurry for
the completion of the matter. It is not
his occasion. Unfortunate man, he is the
chief and notable instance of Hamlet
left out of Hamlet. Boston Journal

town the other day by strange animal,
probably a wildcat The bay saw the
animal in a tree and threw stone at it.
Thereupon the animal sprang down upon
the boy and they had quite = fight, in
which the clothes of young Heath were
torn, his head and face and parts of his

ers whose incomes will not allow them to

by persuading some capitalist to fit up 4
big steamer for a hotel. There's money
In it.
Get a big steamer, or, better still, build
one with plenty of roomy staterooms, well
ventilated, with ample dining, smoking
and lounging saloons, and two or three
decks for promenade and chairs. Charge
the customary summer hotel rates, and let
the steamer have n pier near the Battery
''Let her start from that pier every eve
ming at the close of business and steam
slowly out of the bay while her guests are
at dinner. Then let her touch her pier
again in time for those who want to spend
the evening on shore. After these people
are landed on the pier let the steamer put
out from the shore and steam slowly about
in the cool evening air, while her passen-
gers amuse themselves in her saloons and
staterooms and on her decks Just as people
do in hotels. just little before midnight
let the steamer steam up to her pier and
Take on Doaru GnOSe people VINO nave Deen
at the theaters, etc, and then drop away
down the bay again for the night.
What refreshing and invigorating sleep
a man could get in that salty air. Quiet
and order could be preserved on board just
as well as in hotel. and in the morning
passengers could be landed fresh for busi-
ness. while those who had no business in
the city could spend the whole day on board
if they liked.
'There need be little unpleasant bump
ing and noise of machinery, as only enough
steam would need to be kept up to insure
steerage way. No one would look for
speed. The expenses would be as small
as any other city hotels. and am certain
that people would just tumble over each
other to get quarters ON the ship. On those
rare occasions when the water was too
ro0gh or the wind too boisterous the ship
need not leave her pier at all, as the atmos-
Phere would be cool enough then down by
the Battery to render the night agreeable
'Think of the thousands of New Yorkers
who must stay in the reeking hot city all
summer. How they would jump at such a
boarding house, tell you there's money in
it for the first capitalist that takes it up"
