Dreams and Their Cause.
From Bow Bells.

Psychologists appear to have adopted the
view that dreaming is only an occasional
accompaniment to sleep.
Sir William Hamilton says I'VE dream
always, but simply forget with the utmost
readiness what we know we have dream
ed" Frequently all distinction of time
and place is lost; we converse with the
dead, and are 3transplanted thousands of
miles in a few seconds. The rapidity of
our ideas is one of the most remarkable
of the phenomena. If dreaming is a man.
Hesitation OF conscious mental activity
during sleep, it is obvious that there may
be degrees of absolution Of activity in the
various states. Some may be in full
power, while others are partially sus-
pended
1t has been said that the subject-matter
of a dream is always composed Of previous
mental experience. Persons who work in
India rubber factories, who are exposed
to the inhalation of bisulphide of carbon,
suffer from fearful Dreams and other
drugs produce the same result.
To the mind of the savage the objects
and scenes which fit before his dreaming
fancy are real material eXistences; the
sounds he seems to hear are real external
sounds, the figures which converse with
him are real persons. When he dreams
that he goes forth to hunt, be believes that
his own second self, or soul, leaves his
body and passes forth.
Dreaming in the semiconscious state
seems to be evidence of somnambulism;
yet in the somnambulistic dream, acted
as well as thought, it is remarkable that
no recollection is retained. Sometimes
ideasI constituting these mighty visions
are coherent, complicated trains of
thought Synesius exalts the rank Of
dreaming by affirming that he has re-
peatedly found dreams of service in ar
ranging his ideas, and in improving his
style of composition. Legal opinions have
have been given in difficult questions in
this way; sermons have been composed
and written; and mathematical problems,
Intellectually attacked during the day.
have been solved.
Coleridge composed the poem of Kubla
Kahn during a three hours sleep, yet in
most cases there is no apparent cohesion
in the sequence of our ideas; control Of
will seems to be completely lost. There
are certain exceptional features, as a
vague consciousness of dreaming, which
assumes the form of a dream within a
dream. The effect of these visions is no
doubt forgotten entirely, and those for
gotten when awake are frequently vivid
ly recalled during succeeding dreams. AS
with Clarence, some produce an ineratdi-
cable impression of reality.
Then there are those which arise from
the action of external objects on the or
gans of sensation. DR.. Beatttie writes of
a man who could be made to dream about
a subject by whispering in his ear during
sleep

neous and successive which are observa-
BILE in dreams.
Most people consider them incoherent,
and this is no doubt frequently the case,
yet many appear to stimulate orderly ar
engagements of objects and SUGGESTIONS of
events; the attention, instead of dominat-
ing the images which present themselves,
is itself dominated by them; at the same
time, the action of attention, though no
longer controlled by the will and directed
to some practical ends, plays an import
ant part in dream construction.
Hippocrates, while inclined to admit that
some may be divine, distinctly says that
others rise from the actions of the mind
and body.
There are dreams which announce be-
forehand the affections of the body, and
the special character of many is deter
mined by the condition of the organs of
the thorax and abdomen and the muscular
system. Somehow the muscles which con-
vey impressions to the brain during sleep
affect consciousness and so influence
dreams. 1t is well known that indigestible
food causes various forms of nightmare;
so, also, a strained condition of the mus
cular system produces that frightful sem
sation of falling.
The state of the nervous tissue of the
brain and the circulation are important
factors whose influence can hardly be
separated. In an overcongested brain
sound sleep is impossible, as there is a
tendency to a rapid succession of viva
dreams, interrupted by wakefulness; the
brain cells become too excited by the ex-
cess of blood to pass into a state of re-
pose.
If the blood is deficient i'm quantity or
quality. or is poisoned by substances
which ought to be removed from the body
or the nervous system Is exhausted by ia
tigue or overindulgence in any form, one
suffers from depressing dreams, and It il

ton or relaxation from work. especially
by those engaged in professional duties.
Ii may also be observed that dreams
have many curious resemblance TO the

had been so much passing to and from

not be tracked.

A BLIND BARGAINER.
She Picks Out Dress Goods ana

From the Chicago Tribune.


From the Chicago Tribune.
Shoppers in one of the big stores down
town last bargain day curiously watched
the movements of a blind woman at the
dress goods counter. She was about 20.
years old, her face showing great intelli-
gence and refinement. She was richly
dressed for the street, and girl about 20
years old accompanied her.
The blind woman examined the fabrics
placed before her by passing them through
her hands. She depended upon her own
sense of touch, apparently for she sell
dom spoke to her companion, and then only
in answer to questions. She appeared 10
be quite critical, and before she made her
selection the counter was piled high with
patterns of all kinds.
After she had examined a large number
Of pieces, she took up one of the first that
had been shown her and decided to buy 1t.
When the clerk had measured IL she We

bargained for. she took transfer
ticket and went to the counter where trim

aiming the laces and other delicate fab

After the blind woman had left the store

furnished BY the Republican conven-

IN Raleigh yesterday.
The color line had been drawn i'm

were fewer white delegates than were
ever before seen in a Republican coun-
ty convention. 1t was openly stated
that in some of the townships the ne
groes had refused to permit white Re
puldicans to participate, and the re-
suit was that there were hardly enough
white delegates to prevent its being

the semblance of decorum. Tt cannot
be said that any business was trans
acted, for the bowling mob did nothing

tended to be transacted, was transact

of the proceedings, county chairman

TO the Editor: This fall the
elect State and county officers. In
performing this duty, incumbent upon
every voter in the State, our people
should exercise precaution. In this
time Of political unrest and financial
panics the needs Of our people are
somewhat different from what they
nave been. Our people do not want men
for their public officers with nothing
but name They want men who are
jealous Of the welfare Of their State
and country-whose views are broad
and magnanim0us; who can and will
deal fairly with all, regardless of p0-
litical affiliations, and whose every
step is not dictated by a set Of polit-
zeal bosses; men with backbone and
vii power, who bow not at the
shrine Of men who regard their own
interests above those Of their State;
men who have well defined and well
founded principles and will stick to
them. The fact that our State has
fiourished. under Democratic rule is
evidence that its principles are suited
to the needs of our people. To-day
Democracy is as we'll suited to the
people of North Carolina as it ever was
and if we make a square fight on these
principles success viii be our reward,
provided we have the right man at the
helm. This man we think is our own
Lieutenant Governor II. "a. Doughton.
We think he comes as near, and posi-
bly, nearer, filling every prerequisite
or tIlesuccess of the party as any man
in it. He has a clean record, always
in accord with his party, and his
popularity is as broad as the Staee.
4 united Democracy win succeed in
this State. j. II. CARSON.
