SLEEP TOO PROFOUNDLY.

why We DO Not Rem EN- Der Everything
We Dream.
During the period of deepest sleep
the function of the brain is so weakened
that we retain no recollection of what
we have dreamed. but are wholly I'M
able 10 recall a single trace of that
which has engaged our thoughts, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. But shortly be-
fore we awake our dreams become more
lively and connected. and for this rea-
son are more easily retained by the
memory. Morning dreams come true, :"
is q saying interpreted by the physical
state of sleep being then less perfect;
trains Of thought suggested follow more
nearly the course .of waking associa-
tons. and the memory retains them,
while earlier and more confused dreams
are wholly lost to the mind Again.
persons are TO be found who. when
they speak much during sleep, are un-
able 10 remember their dreams on
waking, yet recollect them perfectly il
they do not speak. This fact is easily
accounted for. Probably when we are
silent the mind is moro directly upon
the subject of the dream, and not so
likely TO be distracted from it. There
Is perhaps another explanation. When
we dream of speaking. or actsally
speak, the necessity of using language
infers the exercise Of some degree OF
reason. and thus, the incongruities Of
the dream being diminished, its nature
becomes less striking and consequently
less likely 10 be remembered.

AFRAID OF DISEASE.
SMALLPOX Kills . Miner Who Had the
Measles.

sDaiipox Kills . Miner Who Had the
Measles.
The fear of the grip, now on its win
ter tour. reminds me of the smallpox
scare in California some years ago.
Smallpox was raging in Frisco and
also in Eureka. Humboldt county. A
miner went from Eureka on horseback
up 20 gold mine by the name OF Gold
Blur, situated some sixty miles north
of Eureka, on the coast, and after a
two days trip on rough trail he ar
rived there. almost exhausted from q
bad cold he caught in fording a stream
soon after starting.
The miners called it smallpox, for
want of something better. and would
not let him stay in camp with them, so
he was compelled to camp in hollow
redwood tree the first night after his ar
rival
The next morning, behold, his skin
was all broken out and the miners
bound him on his pony and started him
down the trail toward Eureka You
can imagine his ride, down a rough
trail, burning with fever, aching at
every joint. but he had to either go, or
die there alone He arrived there in
sensible, hanging on his pony. A doc
tor was called who pronounced it small
pox, and he was sent to the pest-house.
After a more thorough examination, il
was decided that he had the measles,
but he was now in the pcst-house. and
had 70 stay there. After an extended
fight with the measles he was at last
convalescent, but while In that state he
caught the smallpox and died.
This mans death can safely be laid to
the excitement of the peoples mind and
their morbid fear of disease, so don't be
in too much haste to decide on anything
as important as q mans life.

days dispatches from the leading papers
of the metropolis They ran as follows:
Washington date.-The runor that
the Baltimore had been sunk by tor
pedo in the harbor of Santiago is We
hemently denied by Secretary Tracy.
The fact that Santiago is in the interior
and is, therefore. seldom visited by YES
sells, coupled with the information FUR
nished by your correspondent a week
ago that the Baltimore is no longer in
Gillian waters, lends color to the secre-
tary's denial. though under ordinary cir
cumstances il is better not to believe
anything he says.
Paris dste.--Chili's formidable war
ship, the Captain Pratt, is being rapidly
hurried to completion at Toulon. She
will be ready for sea day after to-mor-
row, if the necessary work can be done
in time. The contractors, however, arc
of the opinion that they should have six
months. Every patriotic American viii
agree with them.
Washington date.-Thc report that
the legislature of Colorado had voted
Sc, GOO. COO for harbor defcnses for the
city of Denver excited much comment
among retired naval officers here.
Capt Il. J. Horn, who is familiar with
the locality, says that the sum is en-
tircly inadequate. 1t was subsequent
ly learned that the appropriation was
six dollars, and was intended for the re-
lief of the state house janitor, who
ruined pair of custom-made panta-
looms cleaning the furnace. But war
talk is rife in the capital to-day.
Machiasport Me- date.-Two men
believed to be Gillian spies have been
arrested while engaged in a survey of
the harbor. Their names arc Samuel
Smith and Edward Jones. They
claimed TO have been hauling lobster
pots, and confessed on cross-cxamina-
ton that they were reaping where they
had not sown. They were held on
charge of vagraucy. as the police could
think of nothing else. 1t is not con-
sidered criminal down here to haul an
other mans lobster pots. IL is hoped
that government detectives win secure
evidence before the charge Of vagrancy
can be dismissed. as the only magis-
trate we have has gone cunning forty
miles back of this place. Jones has re-
sided here for thirty-seven years and
