Under other conditions of weather his

How to Prevent Dreams.

"After series of experiments on my
self and Others" ventured an expert
enced physician to a reporter, II am
convinced that many annoying dreams,
which in many instances rob sleep of
much of its recreation and benefit, can
be prevented if persons will take the
trouble to do so There are dreams
which are produced by an overloaded
stomach and indigestion. These can be
prevented by not overlooking the
stomach and taking care, especially in
the evening, not to eat that which ex-
perience has demonstrated is not easily
digested. A fairly filled stomach is,
however less conducive to dreams than
an absolutely empty one think can
safely say that if those persons who are
troubled much by dreaming will wear
extra long sleeves to their nightgowns
they will find remedy thereby. What
is even better than long sleeves is to put
a rubber cord in the hem of the sleeves,
SO that they will not slip up on the arm.
The rubber cord should not be tight
enough to interfere any way with the
circulation of the blood in the arms, but
till tight enough to keep the ends of
the sleeves we'll down on the wrists.
"To the bachelors and others who can
not have their sleeves properly arranged
the same effect can be secured by wear.
ing wristlet on the wrist, or, better
yet, to pull sock over the hands and
pin the leg Of it to the sleeves of the
nightgown. In addition to preventing
dreams this simple arrangement will be
found extremely comfortable during the
cold nights of the next couple of months.
A little inquiry will convince any one
that those whose wrists and forearms
are uncovered are annoyed most by
dreams. The sock used as kind of an
extended glove will effectually stop
them, but it must be attached to the
sleeve of the nightgown; otherwise the
sleeve will work up the arm and the
desired effect be lost. Ny remedy, in
brief, is to keep the hand, wrist and
forearm we'll covered. - Washington

"Leaves have their time to fall.
And flowers to wither at the north winds

And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thy own, o Death
Each day we are brought to realize
the truth of the above lines of the poet.

entering on the duties of worldly life,

should be comforted by the thought that
the Allwise God has called them away
from evil to come. Again we see the
aged one called from labor to reward,
and we rejoice in the thought of the

us not sorrow as those who have no hope,

Large Versus Small Warships.

One argument that has been made
In favor of building a comparatively
large number of small warships rather
than a smaller number of large vessels,
with large crews, is that the smaller
ones afford the greatest number of in
dependent commanders and oppor-
tunities of training for command. Be
tween 1872 and 1888 T6 sea-going fight
ing ships were launched for the British
navy, varying in displacement between
430 and 1000 tons, and the number of
men and officers in these ships ranged
from SO, in the smallest, to 220 in the
largest. These ships were to be found
all over the world. Admirals, captains
and leading officers of to-day were all
trained in them, and splendidly
trained. These ships, however. have
been displaced in recent years by
larger vessels, with larger crews, max
ing for each command larger claims on
naval estimates and on the reserve OF
men. Some of the foremost authori-
ties now lean to the opinion that too
much trust is placed in big ships and
too little in the skill, enterprise and
valor which may be had in the direc-
ton and management of ship of mod
crate size. To multiply such smaller
ships is to multiply the chances of get
ting good men in command. Piling up
armor and guns condemns many such
men to subordination to their inferi-
ors.-Cassief's Magazine.

A PATENT BEER BARREL.
ed, Aluminium Innings for
Drinkers' StOmachs

1t is stated that "a newly-patented
barrel is being made in England, the
novel feature being the use of an alum
mum lining. By the use of such a lin
ing in beer and wine casks the con-
tents are kept in excellent condition,
and no action is set up between the
liquid and the metal. When once the
cask has been rinsed out, too, there is
no smell left, while the reverse is not
ably the case in the use of wood. The
strength of the metal lining also makes
it a most suitable cask for the forcing
of beer from cellar to bar by the aid of
liquid carbonic acid gas. The taps for
these barrels, which are also made of
aluminium, are, of course, very light
and very strong, and have pleasing
appearance"
And now if some one would invent
and put on the market an aluminium
lining" for the beer drinkers stomach,
so constructed that mo action" will be
"set up between the liquid and the
metal" it ought to have a great run.
1t has already been found needful to
manufacture special style of barten-
der's shoes, as ordinary leather will not
stand the drippings of beer, which
will rot, not only the shoes from bar
tenders feet, but also the fingers from
his hands; and it seems that prudence
would require that man who drinks
the stuff should have his stomach cop
perbottomed and brass-bushed IN
less some new patent aluminium lin
ing" can be devised which will enable
men to look upon the wine when it is
red without feeling the serpent's bite
and the adder's sting "at the last
