The dreamer passed through an eternity of suffering upon the way, but he never reached Pitts burgh, undoubtedly because his first self had never been in that city, and the fever self was unable to imagine it's appearance. Other places visited during the period of wandering were seen with photographic clearness.

The good faith of the subeonscious- ness, its readiness to accept upon bare assertion or upon the report of the mis- led senses, the most ridiculous sugges- tions,enables the hypnotist to inspire the sensitive with ideas which amuse the minimizing. But there are too many unrealities in waking life, too many of daylight's seeming realities fit and fade. too often towers erumble and de- lights become dust, for the conscious ness to vaunt itself. It may be that the body, in the face of life and death is the most unreal of all and that the elu- siye subself which is most active when the mind and body are weakest, is the thing that lasts.
 The other fellow may be the real Jim. after all.
 In view of this possibility, it is cheer ing to remember that the other fellow is usually a pretty decent fellow. He lives in the realm of truth, suspects no deceit, and is ready to believe what Bis senses reveal or his friends assert.

 Case E was in early life q teacher, aa occupation to him detestable. A nightmare, in his experience, means that the calendar has slipped back a quarter of century, and that he is again seuabbling with unruly boys and snifling again the familiar school room smell--a sensation from which he emerges bathed in sweat and horror,

 Stevenson's conception of pr. Jebyll and Mir. Hyde was an attempt to clothe the second self in flesh and blood. Only in fiction can the feat be done. In real life we strive and strive to make the ac- auaintanee of the "ether me-" and we know nothing.

PASSING OF THE HORSE.
Thus Far Only the Cheaper Grade Bas
 Been Affected.


 Been Affected.
 Dismissing the horseless carriage from the inquiry, the question arlses, "to what extent, if at all, does the in creasing use of the bicycle affect the sale and use of horses?" It is notori- ous fact that horses have been for two or three years past selling for less and ever dwindling values.
 This query has been put to practical borsemen. men who sell horses in this and other cities, or who are otherwise interested:
 'gro what extent has the introduction of the bicycle injured your business; or how do you account for the deprecl- ated values of all grades of harness horses" ?"
 One of the first answers l 1receiyed was from a dealer whose horse interests are about equally divided between this city and Chicago. In effect this Is how he looks at the matter. Driving horses of certain grades are not lower in price to any appreciabIe extent because Of the "whecl." It so happens that the intro duction of the improved safety bicycle was coincident with the introduction of Dover traction on surface roads all over the country.
 Tn New York and Chicago this entire iv closed a demand for nearly 3o,000 horses annually, and in every other large city in proportion. Thousands of horses. averaging ill value about $125, were thereby rendered unstable for surface traction.
 But for this phase of the horse busi- ness the public would not now be im- pressed with the idea that the bicycle is to blame. Speaking of Chicago, how ever. he said: There certainly is i'll our section one class of horse whose sale is injured by the growing use of the bicycle, and that is what you may call the second class 'runabout' horse; and in this respect what is true of Chicago is true of New York and every other place where horses are bought and sold and used.'
 Regarding the saddle horse, no rid ing school manager seemed to think that the wheel made much difference. One of them said: 'I have my average number of patrons. and though many of them own wheels and use them, they have not given up their saddlers. If there is any slight falling off in our business I attribute it to the recent hard i times. from which we seem to be only now emerging, and not to the bicycle" 7" N. Y Herald.

IcoPYRreHT. 1896.

Two weeks ago Case A bore, in the stalwart body of man, the spirit of Il baby. He could not speak. He could not think. He could barely walk, with an infantile toddle, dragging his feet en the floor. He made known his phys ical needs by an inarticulate. cry, ad- dressed to those about him, whom he only recognized as vague shapes of Kindness.
 Whether by the knife or medicament does not matter, tiny foreign growth that had pressed upon his brain was re- moved; the organ resumed it's proper contour, and the mind began to grope dimly for memory.
 In frenzy of weary joy Case As wife threw herself upon the sick bed.
 "Who are you?" said Case A; "you are very kind to me, but I do not know

'I AM YOUR WIFE.

T AM YoUE WIFE. OH are John. Don't you remember John Smith 9"
 Why, yes; of course, remember smith, said Case A. still speaking of himself in the third person. "He was an insurance man, wasn't he ?'
 Recovery was rapid. First, the pa tient had to make Smiths acquaint- ance; next, he must realize that he him self was Smith. Then memory came back, not all at once, but with pro. digious hourly growth, To-day he is well. or nearly SO.
 In that strange borderland of con sciousness. which is framed by the stuff of dreams and peopled with the off spring of delirinm, the human mind sees itself dark, as if from without, thinks of itself in the third person. This is phase of double consciousness, that most mysterious mental endow- ment. to which pointall the phenomena of hypnotism, somnambulism and sug- gestion.

ot something alive or endowed with life, however distorted from the actual, perhaps because the malignity of sen timent beings surpasses the cruelty of the inanimate; and delirium tremens doesn't do things by halves. But there are, in the cloud of witnesses to the folly of drink animals never seen in the menagerie-devils and dragons, "gorgons and hydras and chimeras dire" monstrous of size, strange in col or, breathing fire. It is an eloquent off, set to the stock joke about women and mice, that the rat is, in the visions of mems alcoholic mania, almost as fre- quent visitor as the snake.
 The horror of animals affects other besides dipsomaniaes. It was fever patient, Case E, who made to her att tendant miseourteous and eminentIy reasonable requests: 'sPlease remove all those animals. vegetables and miner als from my bed; particularly the anil mals." One of the saddest sights in an insane asylum is to see an incurably daft person. paying not the slightest heed to the real forms about him, pluck ing away all day long at imaginary crawling things upon his coverlid, his face, his arms.
