HOW 10 prexent, Dreams.

"After a series of experiments on
myself and others,n ventured an ex-
perienced physician to Star reporter,
II am convinced that many annoying
dreams and, which in many instances,
rob sleep of much OF its recreation and
benefit can be prevented; IL persons will
take the trouble to do SO. There are
dreams which are produced by an over
loaded stomach and indigestion. These
can be prevented by not overlooking
the stomach and taking care, especially
in the evening, to not eat that which
experience has demonstrated is not cas-
lily digested. A fairly filled stomach is,
however, less conducive to dreams
than an absolutely empty one. 1 think
I can safely say that if these persons
who are troubled much by dreaming,
will wear extra long sleeves to the
night gowns, they will find a remedy
thereby. What is even better than long
sleeves is to pul 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 stilltight enough
to keep the ends of the sleeves down on
tie wrists. To the bachelors and
others who can not have their sleeves
properly arranged. the same effect can
be secured by wearing a wristlet on
the wrist, or better yet to pull sock
over the hands and pin the leg Of it to
the sleeves of the night gown. In ad-
dition to preventing dreams thissimple
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 ara
uncovered, ARE annoyed most by dreams.
The sock used as a kind of extended
glove will effectually stop them, but 1t
must be attached to the. sleeve OF the
night gown, 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 COW

thought that there is any thing difficult
in reading to others-it is but to tell
the story, with the same interest, ami
nation and freshness that one would
naturally use in relating anything
familiar to one self, but new to ones
hearers. This bars out a too rapid ut
terance and careless manner, lest the
sense be otscured, and the point lost of
wit or argument.
One of the essentials of good reader
is clear enunciation. No word should
be slurred, but clear cut and distinct
without, however, betraying any ef-
fort to make it so.
American women are often reproach-
ed for their unmusical voices. The
practice of reading to others, If one try
to be observant of few simple direc-
tions, will have tendency to mellow
the tones, and in calling into play SO
many more infections than one has
need Of for expression in ordinary con-
versation, the voice is exercised, and
cannot fail to grow more melodious.
Nearly all authors read their own
works with effectiveness, because their
pride and interest being involved,
they endeavor to excite the pleasure
and admiration of their audience. The
reader should SO identify himself with
the author that for the time being he
is his advocate, and should seek to in
terpret him as pleasingly as possible.
Some readers are mechanical; they
have no magnetism. but the lack pro-
ceeds from indifference and want of in
terest. which an audience is always
quick to feel. It is fact worth realiz-
ing that the effort to do anything well
awakens an interest in its performance.
Finally, it must be remembered that
In reading to others one assumes the
responsibility of giving pleasure.

THE OUTDOOR WOMAN.

1t was doubtless happy reaction
which took place last year from the
epidemic Of boomers to more grace
full and becoming cycling dress, which
included skirt among its component
articles. Most people were we'll pleased
with the change, and the costume now
worn by the better class of women
riders stands as quite triumph in evo-
luton. The skirt is six or seven inches
shorter than that of street gown, and
this length has been found to meet all
requirements as to appearance, COM
fort, and safety. But should like to
say that there is little tendency now
among few people 10 go oyer to the
other extreme, and to wear on the
wheel, as is commonly done in Eng
land, a skirt Of ordinary walking
length. Nothing could be more fool
ish than such practice, the dangers
of which have been set forth time and
again in accidents of various kinds. If
English Women choose to take such
risks, that is no reason why we should
feel oblidged to initiate their reckless.
ness. Keep the skirt at the sensible,
comfortable, and pretty length, which
is at present the most common one, or
mark prophecy-we shall have a
not unjustiliable relapse to the bloo-
mer fever.

RULES THAT MUST BE OBSERVED IN
ORDER TO READ AGREEABL Y.
Few persons doubt their ability to
read aloud acceptably, but were their
audiences induced to speak frankly, the
illusion might be dispelled. The first
qualifications of good reader is abb
sence of affection and self-conscious
ness. Self must be forgotten utterly
merged into the author, whose spokes
man and representative one is. Next
it is important, in order to be pleasing
to read in the natural voice, in precise
ly the same tone in which one would
relate the matter.
Nearly every one raises the voice, in
reading aloud, to higher pitch than is
habitusl in speaking, and the effect
of strain is fatiguing to both reader
and bearer. 3
The eyes must move little in ad
vance of the spoken words, seizing at a
glance the authors thought, in order
to give it The right expression. A
practiced reader will find that his lips
and voice will work automatically
with perfect correctness, while bis
mind occupies itself with the sentence
following that which is being uttered.
