LOS PROYECTOS DE MAURA

Los cablegramas que aver publica-

el senor Sagasta, han adoptado para
mantener el proyecto concebido por
el actual ministro de Cltramar
Los conservadores antillanos, con

formas, invocando, como siempre, ell

Ell senor Maura, antes cue do

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. Southwerth derived the plots
of some of her stories from suggestions
of her dreams. AS a rule dreams fur
nish only situations or impressions which
are likely to be both subtle and intense.

borderland of the mind:
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" came, it, is
said, from Mr. Stevenson dream people,
and the intensity of the impression pro-

suggest such an origin. But no moral
sense exists in the irresponsible region
of sleep. SO that the graver and deeper

The Seashell Delusion.

"They used to tell me when was a
boy" said middle aged man, that if I
would hold up to my ear a seashell of a
certain kind would hear in it the MUIR
muring of the sea. l have tried it many
times, and it never failed.
"Now comes my son, a boy of 70, who
holds up tumbler at the dinner table
and says;
=" Pop, do you want to hear the sea
murmur? ..s- ..7- a
"Apd ! says yes, and then he holds the
mouth of the tumbler to his ear, and do
likewise with mine, and bless my heart!
there's the murmur, sure enough.
And then the boy goes on to talk
about sound waves and to tell me- Just
what makes the sound in the tumbler
and all that sort of thing And l say to
myself it's fine thing, 10 doubt, the adj

present generation are getting, and yet

of the pleasantest of old fancies disposed

rather have my sea murmurings out of

The Monkeys Thumb.

Here is little bit of natural history
which must be remembered about mon
keys. All the monkeys of the old world
have some kind of a thumb. AS Mr.. st.
George Mivart, great zoologist writes,
''Any old world monkey with rudi-
mentary thumb Chat is, thumb even
if imperfect) is superior in that respect
to an American monkey" In fact the
American monkey has no thumb at all.
Nature compensates in measure for
this defect in our new world monkey by
giving him a wonderful tail This Amer
lean monkey tail is prehensile. 1t an
swers almost the purpose of a fifth
limb. A South American monkey gives
his tail a single hitch around the limb of
a tree, and there he hangs quite COM

A DAY DREAM.

When high above the busy street
% Some hidden voice poured Marys song.
Oh, then my soul FORGOT the beat
And roaring Of the city's throng.
Then Boston4bells and cries fell low,
Blent to a far and murmured tone
That changed and oh med in mystic flow,
Weaving spell for me alone.
No more the towering blocks were there,
No longer pressed tie crowds around.
All freely roamed magic air
Within what vast horizons bound;
Beneath a sky of lucent gray
Far stretched the circled northern plain,
Wild sunfiowers decked prairie gay,
And one dear autum n came again.
Before me trod wins ONE maid,
And, oh, the mien with which she steptl
Her soft, brown hair without braid
Hiding the shoulder where 1t swept
And glancing backwa d now she gave
To me that smile so Kind and wise,
The radiant look from eyes so grave
That spoke her Utmost paradise.
Divinely on my daugh ter went,
The wild flowers leaning from her tread,
Dreaming she lived watched intent
TIL, ali, the gracious vision fed.
The plain gave place "a blocks of gray,
The sunlit'heaven to murky cloud,
Staring stood in comIlon day
And never knew the streets 80 loud.

At the close of the day one cord had
been cut, and when Mr.. Pensioner
saw it he began to use rough words,
accusing the tramp of laziness and
said that he himself could cut the
three cords in one day and laugh at
it. The tramp told Mr.. Pensioner to

Casting Sleigh ellis,

A question frequently asked is in re-
gard to the method of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening in the bells. Previous to
making cast the maker of sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside sand core, Just
the shape of the inside of the bell This
sand core, with the jinglet inside, is
placed in the mold of the outside and
the melted metal poured in, which fills
up the space between the cores and mold.
The hot metal burns the core so that it
can be shaken out, leaving the ball with
in the shell. Ball valves, swivel joints
and many other articles are cast in the
same manner.-Detroit Free Press.
