DREAMS ARE.


We know that sleep brings Wis.

Those wise soers believed in dreams as
forotollers Of future events, Of good and
evil TO the dreamer, whose sleeping
hours were filed with visions OF delight,
or mayhap with p%hantoms Of horror.
Tho sage, Ahracadabra, in his immor-
tai treatise on tho Specification Of
dreams. says among q host Of wise and
witty conclusions: 1T is fortunate to
dream Of little pigs, but unfortunate to
dream Of big bullookA" It may occur
to the feeble intellect cropping for cause
aud elect that this can be explained by
tho self evident fact that "little pigs
are harmless, but 'big bullocks" are
tho opposite.
IF you dream you havo lost a tooth,
you viii soon lose a friend, " remains
prophetic. Indeed tho loss Of a molar or
an incisor Is to 10 doplurod, and perad-
venture this first p%romonitory twiDge Of
an exposed nerve has caused the dream.
But how explain "If you dream your
house Is on fro, you viii soon have novs
from a far country, and ito dream Of
clear water is a sign Of GRIEF"
Perhaps the modern system Of inter
probation may be summed up In the
terse aphorism that dreams go by con-
%traries. SO il you dream Of receiving
money you will likely lose it; if you
dream Of kisses, fond and sweet, you
pave blows in store. IF you dream Of
tho dead, you will hear from tho liv-
ing"
It Is more conducive to comfort of
mind, on tho whole, TO return to the
ancient sages. Abracadahra may again
DO quoted rs declaring that the most
fortunate Of all dreams is to dream that
you are mp to your neck in mud and
mire." But, again, ''to dream that you
stand naked in the streets is a sure sign
Of trouble, distress and perplexity."
Not to DO wondered at sure, even in a

Let rs go back still further and con-
suit a much older authority than Abra-
oadabra-the wise and learned Tyrosco-
phornus Ho gives a long list of signif-
cations, embracing almost every known
tree and plant, vegetable, flowers and
fruits. To dream of a leafless tree is a
sign Of great sorrow; Of a tree without
branches, despair and suicide; the yew
and the elder mean sickness to the
young and death to the old.
For a maiden to dream Of stripping
the bark from any tree is n sign of loss
Of character" declares the hoary old
sage, for a married woman it means be-
reavement. Indeed T-yroscophornus di-
vides his Specifications according to the
sex and condition Of the dreamers. Thus
to a man tho stripping Of the bark por-
tends an increase Of fortune. Tho lime
tree means a voyage across the ocean;
the elder tree is auspicious and the fir
tree more so; TO dream Of the oak por-
tends long life and prosperity-ftting
is this. daoidedly-and tho ash tree fore
tolls a long journey.
Only limited by the number of known
shrubs are their Specifications. To
dream Of dock leaves means a present or
possibly only a visit from your country
relatives. OF a~rtiohokes we are told that
they signify favor from an unexpected
source. Sorrel means tho approach Of
calamity which will require all your
courage to face. OF the sunhowor, the
loved Of the aesthetic, a deep wound TO
your pride.

not unmixed with sorrow. The fragrant,
modest violet, whose perfumed petals
give sweet odor without stint, if seen
and carried in dreams, brings sorrow
and evil to the unwedded, but the OPP
posite, joy and good, to the married.
Water lilies appropriately portend dan
gers from the sea. Yellow flowers betoken
jealousy. OF fruits, pomogranate is the
