The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin of dreams has been
made by NJ. Moreau, the French scien-
fist. He divides dreams into the dreams
of health and the dreams that are the
result of diseased state of mind or
body.
With regard TO the. latter it need only
be remarked that persistent dreaming is
one of the NEST invariable symptoms of
insanity and as it is Il psychological
fact that genius is near allied to mad
ness men of genius must be expected to
dream more than ordinary men.
With regard to the dreams Of health,
they are the result of an imperfect state
of consciousness or an imperfect state
of sleep, according as we look at it. 1t
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 the sleep Of the plowboy has
become proverbial on account of its I'M
disturbed nature. In most cases a man
of lively imagination and quick brains
is undoubtedly more liable to dream
than the dullard.

"Ah," she said, stroking his soft
curls and looking regretfully into his
upturned face-he was kneeling beside
her-"you will not think me cruel, will
you? You will be brave and try to for

we might have been happy together

fawnlike eyes and asked:

There is an impossible barrier be-
tween us, she replied. You are the
champion golf player of this state, and
my mother is president of the Society

at an end, he went away humming
softly:

A MIGHTY HARD PROBLEM.
Thc One of InventinE Bottle That
Can't BE RctiIIcd.

81 read little interview not long
ago" said IA New Orleans grocer,
with man who purported to give
some particulars concerning the much
talked of nonrefllable bottle problem.
He said, among other things, that there
was a standing reward of $40, 600 for a
practical solution. and | had to smile
to note how a fable, once set adrift, is
continually Vitalized by repetition.
happen to know something about the
bottle question. and | can state posi-
lively and authoritatively that there
has never been a reward of $40, 600 or
any other amount for such a device.
THE impression probably originated
with a circular that was prepared years
ago by Il convention of northern distill-
ers 1t was designed for the Informal
ton of inventors and stated briefly and
clearly Just what was essential to a
practical nonrefillable bottle what the
working part should be made of, what
tests it should be able to sustain, what
it should cost in quantity, and so on. |
doubt whether there is now a copy of
that circular in existence, but it nm
questionably gave rise to the story that
the whisky men of the country We're
hot after bottle that couldn't be re
filled and had offered an enormous re-
ward for the same.
1.-The Lord only knows how many
lives have been wrecked by that yarn.
Next to perpetual motion it has been
the great asylum feeder of the mechan-
ical world. The problem looks easy
enough on the surface and NJ ward Of
80 patents have been taken out on diff
ferent devices but none of them works
under all conditions. The favOrite
scheme is a ball valve which would be
closed tomatically by pressure from
above, but it is readily worked by a
wire or an air pump.
AT first the liquor men and makers
of proprietary remedies that were
largely counterfeited encouraged invest
ors in the line, but after repeated fail
ures they finally came to the conclusion
that the thing couldn't be done and
have given it up altogether. Neverthe-
less the cranks still persevere, and every
now and then one reads of a new bot
tie that works like a charm. But you
never see them on the shelves, and |
make bold to say you never will. -

Would Have Done the Same.

Rudyard Kipling undoubtedly got his
wit from his maternal grandfather, the
Rev. George b. Macdonald, Wesleyan
clergyman. 1t is related of this bright
Macdonald that in the days when he
was counting the lady whom he after
ward married the fatherinlaw to be
an aged Methodist with extremely strict
notions in regard to the proprieties--
was injudicious enough on one occasion
to enter the parlor without giving any
warning Of his approach. The conse-
quence was that he found the sweet
hearts occupying a single chair.
Deeply shocked by this spectacle the
old man sclemnly said: Mr.. Macdon-

The rising sun had scarcely kissed
the snow capped hills that surround our
peaceful city last Saturday morning
when an awful tragedy occurred on one
of the most public thoroughfares. The
whiplike crack of a rifle sounded on the
clear morning air, and a leaden messen-
ger of death crashed through the brain
of a human being, summOning his soul
to the Judgment bar of God without a
moments warning and with all his sins
full blown and ''ripened on the tree -

deadly mission by hand that few
hours before clasped his victims hand

The Queen Kept the Letter.

The late Mrs. Kelley used to tell the
following story about the visit she paid
to the queen at Buckingham palace on
the occasion Of the jubilee in 1887. Be
ing incredulous Of the genuineness Of
the invitation, she was disposed to
treat the royal command as a joke and
wrote a rather sarcastic letter to the
official, a personal friend, who had ad-
dressed it to her. This he gave to the
queen, and the veteran actress was a
little disconnected when her majesty
told her she had read the letter Mrs.

Evans, about Men," in The Ladies'

1.-The firt, like the gambler, feeds
upon the intOxiCation of his passions.
III few years he becomes incapable of
steadfast enduring love, that feeling
which in civilized man is separated
from the love of the barbarian by the
element of ideality, of spiritual sympa-
thy as distinct from merely the attrac
ton of brute nature. The open minded,
open souled, manly man is apt to ex-
press himself in abrupt praise of what
he likes, but the firt knows better than
to take the edge off of a compliment by
giving it publicity. The tlirt is invaria
bly, confidential in his manner. A firt
becomes INSCRIPTIONS in his relations
with women, no matter how high a
code Of honor he may abide by in other
matters. His conscience is Calloused On
one side beyond remedy. There is no
germ which develops more rapidly than
the tlirtatious bacteria.
Given a young man or woman whose
pride is wounded more deeply than his
or her love by a member of the opposite
sex, then, if there be slight tlirtatious
tendency to begin with, it will be but

conscience and kindness while it sup
ports and strengthens vanity, which
stands close by wounded affections in
