Dreams of Authors.

Who would imagine that the actual
sleeping dream of an author could be
used as literary material-part of his
mental stock in trade? But this has
been SO.
They are Of little use for consecutive
narrative, although l have been told
that Mrs. Southworth derived the plots
of some Of her stories from suggestions
of her dreams. AS a rule dreams fur
nish only situations or impressions which
arc likely to be both subtle and intense.
Who does not remember some haunting
melody of his dreams whose sweetness
moved him to tears, some glimmeringN
landscape, some strange and weird jour
neying or faces that suddenly appeared
and as suddenly vanished in this quaint
borderland of the mind2
CDR. Jeky1l and Mr.. Hyde" came, it is
said, from Mr.. Stevenson's dream people,
and the intensity of the impression pro-
duced by this fantastic creation would
suggest such AN origin. But no moral
sense exists in the irresponsible region
Of sleep, so that the graver and deeper
lesson which the thoughtful reader must
draw from Mr. Stevenson's pages must
have been evolved in his waking mo-
ents.--Kate Fields Washington.

interesting Shy Men.

One of the characters in modern nov
ell is made to say: 81 love shy man.
He is getting so scarce" Perhaps that
is why he is so really delicious. When
he bushes palpably, but without look
ing awkward, one is drawn toward him
by certain sentiment of affinity, and SO
long as he is just shy enough, but not
too shy, he wins more and more upon
one. To draw a really shy man out of
his shyness is a pleasing task, and the
more so as he is generally disinclined to
give expression to the thoughts and
ideas that he usually keeps locked fast
away within himself. One comes upon
stray jewel or two now and then, in
such cases, in the shape of an unexpect-
ed thought that astonishes the discov-
erer because it seems SO different from
the person from whom it emanates. !
assure you, 1 think shy men are some
times very charming, but then one must
be little shy ones self in order to ap-
preciate them. Do you know any nice
ones, and do you find that they only
come out of their shell in tete-a-tete,
and not always then, SO that there is
pleasing element of uncertainty about
them which adds to the interest they
inspire?-Cor. London Truth.

The Medical Profession.

Every new treatment, every fresh
drug, every medicine that is discovered
is one more drop from the great ocean
Of knowledge segregated that we may
study it for the benefit Of mankind. In
it there are good and evil, but if we ap-
preach it with reverent earnestness and
study that we may know we can assure
ourselves that we are helping on the
great science to which we have devoted
our lives. This is reward enough, and
this reward shall surely como to the
physician who will work. The amelio-
ration of the physical ills Of man is the
end and aim of our most noble profes
sion, and it is pleasant to remember that
even the enthusiasts aid in the great
work by their devotion to their fads.-

The valuo of Military Training.

ING Naluc OF MILITARY 1TdinluS.
To get the best possibilities for beauty
out of training we must have all round
influences for good. Among these I
would place first military training for
youths. l say military rather than
gymnastic or turn verein exercise. be-
cause sound drill includes something Of
these and adds the moral influence of
discipline.
In my opinion ii would be for the
benefit of the country, the family and
the individual if every mothers son
were obliged to pass certain amount
of military service before he could vote.
The military training is the only one
nowadays which teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion Of the value
of obedience. No training make, men
so effective for every day use or leaves
them SO alert, prompt and full Of re-
source. The adoption of military edu-
cation in earnest would lead to the ad-
justment of serious questions, physical
and national.
The merely useless mechanical part Of
drill which is mainly for parade pur-
poses would have to be dropped, and
useless schooling would have to be
thrown out.
A child taught to obey in the first
place and efficiently guided in study can
master the courses of our schools in half
the time now spent. This by the way.
The great point about military training
is that it enfdrces exercise for pur-
pose, not merely for the sake of exercise.

Human Flesh Does Not Petrify.

Fertilization is simply the substitution
of inorganic for organic matter, atom by
atom. This process of transformation
is unthinkably slow. As a molecule of
wood or bone decays amolecule of stone
takes its place. This can Only occur
when the air, earth or water surround
ing the organize substance in question
holds in solution some mineral which is
readily precipitated. In the case of either
wood or bone, while decomposition is
going on, there yet remains a framework
or fiber, the interstices of which may
gradually be filled by the mineral SUBJ
stance-with flesh, be it human or ami
NAL, no such framework exists. The
very rapid decay Of flesh also makes it
impossible for the very slow process of
petrifaction to have any effect in the
way of making q transformation.
The stories of petriied bodies being
found in graveyards are usually 'faked
up by some imaginative reporter who
wishes to lengthen his Stirring" 1t is
true, however, that the bodies of human
