About Dreams.

A French physician. DR.. Delaunay,
tells some interesting facts about
dreams. These are embodied in a COM
m~unication to the Society de Biologis
of Paris 1t is well known. when aper-
son Is lying down. the blood flows most
easily to the brain. That is why some
of the ancient philosophers worked out
their thoughts in bed. Certain modern
thinkers hayei initiated thi, queer meth
cd OF industry. During sleep, so long
as the head is laid low, dreams take the
place Of coherent thoughts
There are, however. different sorts of
dreams; and DIR. Delaunay's purpose,
In his original communication, Is to
show that the of lying brings
on q particular kind of dream. Thus,
according to this investigator, uneasy
and disagreeable dreams accompany w.
ing upon the back. This fact is ex-
planned by the connection which is
known to exist between the organs of
sensation and the posterior part OF the
brain
The most general method of lying,
perhaps. is on the right side; and this
appears to be also tine most natural
method, for many persons object to ly-
ing upon the side of the heart, which,
it has been moro than once asserted,
should have free action during sleep.
Nevertheless, DIR. Delaunay's state
ments hardly harmonic with this opin-
ion. When n sleeps on the right side,
is to say, upon the right side of the
brain. ones dreams have marked and
rather unpleasant characteristics.
These characteristics, however, are
essentially those which enter into the
popular definition of dreams. Ones
dreams are hen apt to De Illogical. alb
surd, childish, uncertain. incohercnt,
full of ~viyacity and exaggeration.
Dreams which come from sleeping on
the right side are, in short, simple de-
captions They bring to mind very old
and faint renemDrances, and they are
often accompanied by nightmares. DIR.
Delaunay points out that sleepers fire.
qaently compose verses or rhythmical
language while they are lying on the
right side This verse. though at times
correct enough, is absolutely withou;
sense. The moral faculties are then al
work, but the intellectual faculties are
absent.
On the other hand. when a person
slumbers on his left brain, his dreams
are not only less absurd, they may
also be intelligent. Tney are, IS a rule.
concerned with recent things. non with

of articulated language is found in the
left side, the words uttered during
such dreams are frequently compre-

THE FALL.

Summer has faded; the melan-

and winter will soon be upon US
When the cold blasts arrive il will be
impossible to keep from catching
cold. When the surface Of the body
is exposed and the pores suddenly
close, by the shrinking OF the skin,
the patient will take cold. The evil
however is in letting this condition
of things continue until the cold at
tacks the kidneys and disables them,
that the greatest mischief ensues.
From this condition of things come
pneumonia, pleurisy, rheumatism and
many other maladies.

Some Little Points.

The social standingo of an individual,
is judged instantaneously by his
grammar, his manners and personal
cleanliness. The Irish woman who
said she knew a certain family
belonged to the aristocracy because
they talked so precise" was not far
out Of the way. Though an individual
wore the Koh-i-noor on his forehead
and was an angel in his morals, he
could not 60 into good society If he
ate with his knife, picked his teeth
with a fork and said '~'pertaters.n
The place to form the best manners
and the best habits OF speaking is at
home. The child whose parents
have refined manners and talk the
English language correctly has an
incalculable advantage owe the one
not thus launched on the world.
Parents ought to be ashamed Of
themselves who allow themselves to
lapse from the best they know in both
anu mdtiitIs. 1Hc Ilbilc IL
exactly the field for the display OF
the gentlest, most courteous manners,
the sweetest voice and the best
language you know. So shall you
send civilized young people out from
your home-young people who will
feel at ease among well bred persons
the world over. The bitterest
modification that a come to a well
educated young person is the con-
sciousness OF the rude manners and
illiterate talk OF his parents. There
is no need OF it in this country.
Even if ones early education was
neglected he can grow into good
manners and good grammar by using
always the best he knows and setting
his mind in that direction, observing
how those talk and act who have
had a superior bringing up. Better
still will come TO him.

Judge Smith denied the application
of 800 Indians residing upon the
Yankton Indian reservation who
seek to compel the commissioners OF
Charles Mix county TO establish
voting places upon their reservation.
The Indians wanted to vote the
republican ticket and the com
m~issioners who are independents
were charged with attempting 10
disfranchise these Indians by refusing
TO establish places where they could
vote. These Indians have taken
allotments OF land upon this
reservation and received patents
therefor under Dawes bill passed by
congress In 1887. This bill provides
that every Indian born within the
limits Of tfe United States. L whom
allotments have been made under
this act Is declared TO be { citizen Of
the United States, with all the
privileges, and rights, OF such
citizenship. The facts alleged admit
OF no doubt thatthese Indians are
citizens OF the United States and as
residents OF proper voting precincts
within the county and state as
established by law, would be entitled
to vote. The real difficulty arises as
to the right to establish voting
precincts within the limits OF an
Indian reservation which is not a
public domain Of the United States.
but is in fact an Indian country.
Negotiations are now pending how
ever, for the purchase Of the land.
but as yet the Indians have not given
their assent thereto. The statutes OF
the United States declare that Indian
territory shall be excepted out of the
boundaries and constitute no part Of
the state until each tribe signifies its
assent TO the president TO be embraced
within a particular territory. The
state constitution declares that "we
disclaim all right and title TO all
lands owned OF held By any Indian or
Indian tribes, and said land shall
remain under the absolute lurisdictin
and control of the United States"
1t is clear that the United States
exercises sole and exclusive juris
diction over this reservation. No
right or Jurisdiction has Y e been
granted the state except Jurisdiction
to punish certain crimes committed
by Indians.

A Remarkable Man.

Henry Willard has had a remarka-
bic career. He was born in Speyer,
Germany, in 1888. His father was a
Judge. and the son received 4 first
class education. He was only eigh-
teen years old when became to Amer
lea, where he did good. work during
the war. He was then for ONE time
secretary to the Americas Social
Science Association. 1t was in 1874
that he started upon his financial
career. Several German capitalists
asked him to take charge of their in
terests in certain American railroads,
and in this manner he became presi-
dent of several railroads, but it was
not until 1881 that he becamea real
power in Wall street. His reputa-
ton for shrewdness and honesty was
so great that certain banks lent him
ten million dollars with which to
speculate. He did not initiate anybody
in his plans, but suddenly n day
Wall street was surprised to learn
that he had general control Of the
Northern Pacific railroad. He had
now become president of the Oregon
& California railroad. He vas the
leading man of the Kansas Pacific
railroad, and had in a few years time
made a fortune of ten million dollars.
However, he lost all this in the dis
astrous panic of 1884. He then left
the states and went to Germany.
Three years ago he returned and hav'
ing a ~proyerbial German syndicate t.

plans. Once more he became the
controlling power of the Northern
Pacific and regained the greater par
OF his fortune. Mr.. Willard Is back

What We Know About Mars.

dieting that future astronomers will
find out much mor The obser-
vations of the past summer have
shown Schiaparelli's canals or lines
to be veritable fact. They were seen
from the observatory at Mortified,
Mimi, to extend not only crosswise
but also ~lengthwise of the planet,
like stripes crossing one another in
check pattern. They seem to branch
out from dark spots, which look as if
they might be bodies of water.
We know that Mars has two
moons-Phobos and Deimos-and
that Phobos is brighter than Deimos
At least those are the names our
astronomers have given to the
satellites. What the people of Mars
call them we have not been informed.
We know when the summer and
winter of Mars occur, and the Lick
astronomers saw the great white

no adequate explanation. These arr
