Spelling In Dreams.

That incorrect spelling may be said
to be inherent in the understanding
seems to be proved by the fact that
when bad spoilers see inscriptions or
written sentences in their dreams
the words are misspelled as they
would misspen them. A notoriously
bad speller once related that he had
seen in a dream a great black cat
with a collar round his neck bear
ing the inscription. king Solomon's
Cat"
THAT is very interesting, said a
friend, who was curious to see if by
any chance correct photography had
been revealed to the dreamer along
with his vision. won't you please
write that sentence down for me, just
as you saw it on the cats collarY"
The dreamer took a pencil and
wrote, king Solaman's Catte."-

The Pleasure Of Books.

How to read book is an art, in
credible as it may seem. Recently
when a bright woman was gushing
over story she had just finished she
amused her hearers by being unable,
when questioned, to give the name
Of the author. Scipio was wont to
say he was never less alone than
when alone and never less at leisure
than when at leisure, surrounded as
he was by the silent companionship
Of writers and his own hopes and
fears. But this regular giddy swirl
Of frivolous dissipation" as the Bos-
ton girl calls it, does not lend itself
easily to cozy evenings by an open
CRATE fire with ones favorite authors
It is quite a question if the rush Of
lectures, talks and readings which is
arranged to satisfy the intellectual
cravings Of society at all atones for
the loss of that culture which comes
from quiet and persistent study Of
the best writers. This explains why
so often in small country towns,
where there seems to be dearth Of
social doings, we will meet 80 many
cultivated women who are abreast
of the times on many thoughtful
questions. They read.-New York

A Dog at Rehearsal.

"Our orchestra" julius Eichberg
relates, "was not very good one.
At the same stand with my teacher,
who was concert master, an old
gentleman played. He was not less
than 80 years old, and could, under
no circumstances, be made to play on
time. He also had an unhappy ma
mia Of initiating the chirping Of little
birds upon his violin. Our first oboe
player had little dog-Fido by name
which generally accompanied its
master to rehearsals, and had been
trained to give the A when it was
required. AS the director asked the
oboeist one day to sound A, this little
dog-incited, ! suppose, by some wag
among the musicians--gave it in q
shrill whine that convulsed the or
chestra and caused Fidos expulsion
from the hall. Boston Journal.

A Young shnkespearean.

In a certain Back Bay family an
illustrated edition of Shakespeare,
somewhat the worse for wear, is some
times given to the children in order
that they may enjoy the pleasure of
looking at the pictures, of which they
are very fond. The other day Mrs.
Fl. was entertaining in her Graw-
ing room a caller from Gotham, who
cares much more for social than for
literary pursuits. His amazement
was sublime when Elaine, aged s, the
baby Of the household, appeared in
the doorway, somewhat the worse
for a skirmish in the nursery, and in
quired in a plaintive tone:
Mamma, can I Shakespeare"
This same small Elaine sat one day
on her mammals lap, turning over
the pages Of her beloved book, when
she came upon picture Of King
Lear, thrust out, with the hand of
his daughter just showing within the
Intel Of the door.
"What beautiful hand, mamma
and what does the picture meant"
the child exclaimed.
Mrs. H. told the story. Elaine lis
tened attentively, and at the close,
after another long look at the pic
ture, remarked

full now, mamma. Boston Herald.

This looks like very singular, not
TO say foolish, question, and yet some
chemists are beginning to doubt
whether iron il really chemical
element. They think that instead Of
being an elementary substance it
may be u highly complex compound,
and that eventually means may be
found of separating or isolating the
bodies. or elements, of which iron is
made up.
Different substances are ordinarily
combined either by simple inter
mixture, as oxygen and nitrogen are
intermixed in the air, or by solution,
or by chemical combination.
But 1t has of late been suggested
that there may be a fourth state Of
com bination still more intimate than
that which is implied by the usual
expression, chemical union" The
combination of yet unrecognized ele-
ments which make what we call iron
would be an example of this fourth
state.
What this conception necessitates
may be judged from the fact that it
seems to do away with the atom as
the smallest elementary particle Of
matter. In other words, it has
been suggested that "atoms may be
smashed" Smashing" the atoms Of
iron would, according to this idea, be
q method Of discovering the elemen-
tary substances that compose it

EXTINCTION or THE KISS,
Sanitary Science invading the sac,

Sanitary Science invading the Sacred
Realm of Romantic Sentiment.
The kiss of affection and romantic
love is celebrated in the song and
story of all ages Sacred literature
justifies and honors the holy kiss of
religious sympathy and fellowship
The meeting of the lips has always
been with our race the universal and
natural and spontaneous eApresslon
of the most tender sentiment.
Now sanitary science pushes itself
forward to degrade the kiss to the
level of sewer gas and the many
agencies by which noxious and infec-
tious disease is propagated. It is de-
manding the abolition of the practice
as remnant of barbarous ignorance
of the laws of health. II would subor-
dinate romantic sentiment to cautious
prudence and forbid the lover to EN-.
brace his sweetheart, even as a seal
of their betrothal, until they are able
to produce medical certificates that
they are free from the transmissible
germs of disease.
For several years past prudent par
ents, under the instruction of their
physicians. have guarded their young
children jealously against the indis-
criminate kissing which was once in
vogue, lest those poisonous germs be
transmitted to the babies. It Is a
reasonable precaution, for undoubted-
ly the danger exists, and as the germ
theory of disease is more generally
accepted peril of such contact is ap
preciated the more intelligently.
If, then, there is serious risk for
children in careless kissing. say the
preachers of sanitary science, it is a
risk which older people must avoid
also. Even the cherry RED and pout
ing lips of beauty may convey mate
rial poison along with the rapture of
love they express so romantically.
The most ardent manifestation of
masculine devotion may be the
means of planting the seeds Of dis
ease which will bring forth fruit
full crop of maladies sent down
through generations. So says science
Accordingly the secretary of the
Ohio board of health has been urging
the Pastors union of Sandusky to
use their influence to put a stop to
the practice Of unscientific kissing or
kissing which is not carefully re-
strained by sanitary laws. He also
warns them of the danger of using
the same wine cup in administering
the rite of the holy communion to
different persons He would not let
women kiss each other after the pre-
vailing fashion, and Of course he dis
countenances the kissing of babies
by every chance conner, and he would
prevent kissing among the babies
themselves.
Thus cold and prudential science is
invading the realm Of tender and ro-
mantle, poetic and religious senti-
ment and destroying as pesthouse
the very temple in which the love OF
all ages has offered up its worship.
1t is an appalling revolution. New
