DREAMS PROMPTINGS.
ThourIlt While Me Sleen.

Thought While We Sleep.
 The physiologists of the first half of the century and some more modern writ CTS expressed the belief that dreaming only occurred at the moment when con- sciousness began to resume its sway.
 But in The North American Review. Dr. Louis Robinson says that modern Investigators accept the theory of the metaphysicians and believe that there is certain amount of cerebral action during the whole period of sleep, and that the vast majority of our dreams never como to our knowledge. He thinks that there is an unbroken cur rent of ideas which passes through the sleeping brain, and which only reveals itself to the conscious ego when some disturbing clement intcrvenes. We may compare it to an invisible and si- lent river, flowing by without betray- ing its presence, save where thero is a splash of a fish or of a falling stone, or some foaming eddy where a rock breaks the smooth surface"
 Dr. Robinson $ article is long and in teresting. The conclusions at which he arrives are as follOws: Owing to the unceasing unconscious cCrebration which IS a necessary cOncOmitant of our power of intellect, the brain Is always in part awake, and is especially active in shifting 1ncmorized matter. The cerebral ccnterS connected with the sense organs arc continually and inde- pendently employed ill stimulating i'm presSiOnS from without. Certain of the senses, especially that of hearing, re- main open to external influences during sleep and convey actual vibrations to the brain. There is an active and purely involuntary prcdisposition on the part of the mental apparatus to compare and cOllate all the messages which come, or seem to come, from without, through the sense channels, and to cOllate these again with what is brought to the con- sciousness by involuntary recollection. Associated with this is tendency to combine the evidence so collected into a coherent whole, and to mako the re- suit of either explain the more en- phatic thoughts or impressions, or else answer some questions which occupied the attention before sleep began. No voluntary power exists during sleep to pick out from the tumble handed in that which is relevant to the problem to be solved, and Just as there is no power to discriminate real from false impressions at the outset, so, through out dream, we are completely obliv ious to the moss glaring fallacies and inconsistencies ''-Rochester POst-Ex- press.

 "Impossible!'' breaks ill college sophomore; it is done with the mind. :"
 "Oh, 1 know better than that!' frowDs the flashing creature. "The mind is what you make up when you want to do things.'

 "Oh, dearie, mel" sighs she at tha samovar, "that explains something. l didn t know brains had a seat. It must be, then, that mine never get up. '-- New York Recorder.

Paris Initiating London.

A correspondent says that the craze for everything English is taking all the color out of Paris. It would not matter if they went in for decent imitation, but as it is they bring French ideas to bear on English customs, and the thing doesn't work. Driven from the restau- rants on the grand boulevards, where underdone "rosbif," overdone "biftek" and fish without sauce are considered the correct thing. because it is believed that they are the staple food of the Eng fish, went up into the quiet old Palais Royal for peace, and the waiter whis- pered, with glad smile, that they had some fine gin and suggested stout after the coffee. By the way, am told that the French firmly believe that stout should be slipped as iqueur.'

IT lies in the power of the republican members of the council to bring about a better feeling between the two parties than that which exists at present. If they agree to the reasonable terms offered by the democrats all may be well, and Samuel c. Snagg will probably be restored to his position as chief of the fire department. Should they refuse and insist upon secur- ing three members of the road board the fight will be continued indefinitely. Mayor kilduff and his colleagues mean business.

tracted to literature and the influences which shaped his literary taste, will find great pleasure ill comparing these delight ful confessions with MT. StevensOn,s sketch of his early experiences which is soon to be published.
 Howells is the most famous American writer of fiction, although that does not mean that he is the most popular. His lit erary canOns areutterly different from those which have governed Mr. Stevenson. How els prOfesses to have no high regard for Dickens, Thackeray or Scott, although the greatest of English critics, Mir. Andrew Lang, has pointed out that the realism in Thackeray's novels is equally faithful as that to which Mir. IIowells has devoted his stories and far more interesting.
 Stevenson revealed in the sketch of his early life an extraordinary fOndness for those very rOmances which Mir. HOwells seems to despise. He read and reread Wal ter Scott until he knew the novels of his countryman by heart He had q warm place for some of Dickens stories and was able to see beneath the congregations and caricatures the revelations of human nature which Dickens sought to portray. Steven son believed that in his best work Dickens was cOnsummate artist, because the illu- sions created by his very congregations were for the time being perfect.
 Next to hlS admiration for scott was the intense delight which he felt for the TO- mances of AleXandre Dumas-stories which Mir. Howells, it is said, could never get in terested in, and which he has passed over in his critical works with the silence which seems to indicate contempt. Stevenson's idea is that ill many respects D'Artagnan is the finest character of modern fiction, because, he says, it seems, when you are reading The Three Guardsmen," as though D'Artagnan was a flesh and blood man-as though you knew him and were with him and delighted in his boastings, his courage and his peccadillos.
 So when Stevenson began to write for the public he took precisely the opposite view from that which Mir. Howells professed. He believed that a story should be told for it's own sake. He detested moralizing and had small use for lengthy descriptions of nature. He did not believe in analysis, but thought that the characters as they worked out the story ought to suggest their own analysis, as is the case in life. Now that these two most successful authors, differ ing widely in their methods, are furnishing the public with their literary confessions, those who desire to make repute as writers will have abundant opportunity to choose between them.

in fact, all unmarried ladies who are

their attire that throws into higher relief
