THE HABIT OF DREAMING.
Scientists Say II Is an Indication Of In.
aauify.

The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin of dreams has been made
by NJ. Moreau, the French scientist.
He divides dreams into the dreams OF
health and the dreams hat are the re-
suit of the diseased state of the mind
or body. In regard to the latter il need
only be remarked that persisten dream
ing is one of the most invariable symp-
toms of insanity. and it is n psychology
ica! fact If genius is near allied to mad
Tess, genius must be expected to dream
more than ordinary men. With regard
to the dreams of health, they are the re-
suit of an imperfect state Of conscious
ness or an imperfect state of sleep, &c.
cording as we look at il. It is obvious
that the mind Of the clever man, that is
constantly occupied with many schemes
and thoughts, is more liable TO be awake
when his body is asleep than that Of the
dullard, whose mind is often asleep
when his body is awake. Thus tho
sleep of the plowboy has become pro-
verbal on account of its undisturbed
nature. In most cases O man of lively
imagination and quick brain is undoubt-
eddy more liable to dream than the
dullarI.

We do not find any opposition TO the
use Of coffee until the middle of the six
teenth century. when the Egyptian sui
tar sent a new governor, Chair Bey. TO
Mecca. This governor knew nothing
about coffee, and was greatly enraged
when he saw the deryishes in the mosque
drink coffee. He believed that which
they did was contrary to the teaching
of the koran and that they became in
toxicated. He consulted two Persian
physicians, who were opposed to coffee.
They declared it was a substitute for
wine, which is prohibited by the koran.
and hence coffee drinking was n viola
ton OF Mohammed's law. To prove
that coffee drinking made persons ne
glect religious duties they pointed TO
the fact that while cofee-houses were
multiplying the mosques were empty.
Chair Bey called a counsel of physi.
clans, priests and lawyers, and on their
advice forbade absolutely the use OF
coffee. The police gathered all the
coffee that could be found and burned
it in the market place. Afterward he
reported to the sultan what he had done
and received the following note in re-
ply: "Your physicians are asses. Our
lawyers and physicians in Cairo are
better informed. They recommend the
use of coffee, and | declare that no faith
full will lose heaven because he drinks
coffee" About twenty years later a
man in Cairo preached against coffee
and declared hat coffee drinkers were
poor Mohammedans. Since then coffee
drinking has beel unmolested and it
has become a favored drink every
where.
