Do You Dream?

The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin Of dreams has been
made by M 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 most invariable symptoms Of
insanity, and as it is 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.
Thussthe sleep of the plowboy has
become proverbial on account of it's I'M
disturbed nature. In most cases a man
of lively imagination and quick brains
is undoubtedly more liable to dream
than the dullard.

Who Is COmmander-in-Chief of

Incident.
Eagan Unlikely to Seek Further
Investigations --Maus Feels
! CenSure Keenly.
Report Scores Miles and Eagan
but Holds Beef Contractors
BlamelesS.

WASHINGTON, May "a very close
friend of General Miles, and an officer
f'the army, when asked if there was
anything for the general to say or do in
regard to the report of the beef board.
replied:
There is nothing for him to say OF
do. The report has been approved by
the president, and the president is the
commander-in-chief of the army. Crit
icism of the report or any other action
would be in violation of military duty"
Inquiry was made as to the status of
officers criticized and what course they
might pursue, and it was stated that as
a military legal proposition it was i'm
possible for any action to be taken by
any of the officers aggrieved. They
might demand court of inquiry, but
this was a court of inquiry which rec
commended that no further action be
taken; this being approved by the pres
ident, precluded any further inquiry.
General Eagan, who is specified in the
report, is not likely to ask for any fur
ther investigation. But Colonel Maus
of General Miles staff, the other officer
critized, feels it keenly. His friends say
he was among the witnesses whom
General Miles asked to be called and
was not called by the court.

Fishing ON Horseback.

The most remarkable fishing in the
world is that practiced in catching the
sturgeon in the frozen rivers of the
Ural mountains. Fishing on horseback
seems impossible, yet this is literally
true of the fishing for sturgeon.
The Russian Cossacks go fishing in
large bands. They mount their horses
and ride across the frozen river until
they are over the place where the cur
rent runs strongest. There they dis
mount and cut through the thick layer
of ice until they have formed little
pool of open water, extending across the
current almost from shore to shore
A net. which is sunk to the bottom CT
the river, is stretched across the stream
at the open space, so that not fish
can swim past it. The horses are re-
mounted, and the Cossacks ride up the
river for distance Of four or five miles.
Here the band turns about and rides
down over the thick ice covered stream.
forming long line across it. They urge
their horses at full gallop. .
The laundering hoofs of the horses
terrify the fish, and they charge madly
ahead of the approaching cavalcade.
Great swarms of fish choke up the
stream in the mad effort to escape the
terrific noise that is pursuing them, and
in this way they are driven down the
stream to the net.

he suggested, would be the best means
of maintaining order after the present

"Ihave only adherence for such con-
ditions as exist here" said General Mer-
RAM. 81 should rather be under the
tyranny of the Russian anarchy than to
live in terror of the mob such as rules
the Couer d'Alene. I have tried In vain
to discover what motives prompt men
to such deeds of crime as have marred
the history of the district. Since I can
not discover the reasons, I am forced to
the belief that the only way to quell
these disturbances is by the aid of mar
tial lava one-man-power, where gun
shall be met with gun and dynamite
with dynamite. Nevertheless there are
grave difficulties in the way Of estab-
fishing a permanent military post

A Thrilling Entertainment,

Perhaps the most thrilling entertain
ment on record was one witnessed in
the Romagna, which was as unexpected
as it was unauthorized. It was the last
day Of the carnival, and the theater of
Formlipopoli was packed with crowd
of spectators awaiting the rise of the
curtain. After long delay the curtain
went up, only to disclose stage occu-
pied by 100 brigands facing the audi
ence with pointed rifles.
The leader Of the strange cast, II
Passatore, one Of the most ruthless rob-
bers of any age, bowed profoundly to
the horror stricken audience and ex-
planned that the theater was surrounded
by his men, that the first man who at
tempted to escape would be shot, and
that he and his merry men would pro-
coed to collect any money and valuables
they had with them.
The brigand and his men then de-
scended from the stage and stripped the
audience of their possessions to the val
ne of $4,000 He then thanked them
all in a graceful speech and left the
theater. 1t is comforting to know that
he and 100 of his brigands were cap
tured shortly after and that they paid a
heavy penalty for their evenings en-
tertainment.-Cinci Enquirer

DYNAMITE IS USED.

Duluth Street Railway Strikers and Sym
pathizers Becoming Disorderly.
DULUTH, May S.-The first serious
demonstration by the street railway
sympathizers and strikers occurred dur
ing the evening. They used dynamite
to stop traffic. Four cars were derailed
three at West Duluth and one at Gar
field avenue. One of the cars in West
Duluth was smashed almost beyond
repair and all of the glass in the other
two were broken. The car on Garfield
avenue was served likewise.
One man was seriously if not fatally
injured and four others were slightly
hurt.
When Manager Warren of the street
railway company appeared on the scene
with wrecking car he was set upon by
the strikers.
At meeting of the street railway
company and committee of citizens,
the company agreed to two points de.
manded by the strikers-that all ques.
tons Of difference between the men and
employers be hereafter submitted tc
arbitration, and that all employees dis.
charged during the past 80 days with.
out good cause, be reinstated-but re.
fused to accede to the demand that the
union be fully recognized.

Part of q Murder Story.

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 rife sounded on the
clear morning air, and leaden messen-
ger of death crashed through the brain
of 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 ;"
The fatal bullet had been sent upon its
deadly mission by hand that few
hours before clasped his victims hand
in friendship. One now lies in the cold
embrace of death and occupies mound
in the silent city on the hill; the other
languishes in the county Jail, alone
with his conscience and his deed as he

DO NOT TURN OUR WAY.

British Anxious to Gamble But Are sus-
pioious of Our Stocks.
NEW YORK, May 9.-The Times
London financial correspondent cables:
Along certain lines the desire to gam
BILE never was stronger with US than
now, but we do not turn your way.
Dealings in American rails are most
perfunctory and torpid. =-'.
Such special articles as copper and
copper mine shares also have at present
no attraction for the small Spectators.
All gambling is in the hands of big peo-
pie, chiefly French and American. The
latter have bought most of the Ana
conda shares that the British public
held, and the former own most of the
Rio Tinto. Apart from these, specula-
ton in such shares is modest in dimen-
sions, and we are skeptical that power
like your Amalgamated Copper COM
pany will hold up the market, whether
for metal or shares. Every week now
sees two or three new copper mines
offered to the British public. Some of
them will get to work, and the pro-
duction in Russia, Africa, Japan, Chill,
and Australia, as we'll as in
Spain, Germany and other countries
will increase rapidly. Last years out
put of copper exceeded that of 1882 by
at least 100 per cent. The present years
output is almost sure to exceed 500, 900
tons. At merely $3.50 per ton this means
e35, 100000. 1t is doubtful if the con-
sumption will reach SOC, 900 tons of new
copper. To maintain the present prices,
let alone any further rise in price both
in metal and copper mine shares, cap
ital and credit to the amount of $780,
10000 may thus have to be found in
about II months time, and we do not
think you can find it, especially as the
Rothschilds emphatically disclaim any
share in the combination. We there
fore consider that your spectators are
coming in on top of the market and
some go so far as to say that the Anal
gamated Copper company was merely
formed for unloading purposes. Time
will show English manufacturers are
curtailing their demands with utmost
rigor. One large brass founder said
he had not bought a ton of virgin cop
per during the last three months and
his stockroom is full of all sorts of
broken up old metal. Copper brokers,
therefore, hold the view that your COM
bination must smash almost at once.
Our general trade continues remarka-
bly, good but in domestic lines more
than in foreign, and we are still haunted
by fears of dearer money coming later
in the year. The present ease indeed is
attributed much more to the inflow of
American money representing the price
of the Philippines and the payment for
your bonds which we will sell as fast as
you can take them than to intrinsic
strength. Great care, therefore, is re-
quired to avert a bad squeeze in au-
tumn, and this danger, likewise, your
copper monopolists seem to leave out of
account.

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 joke and
krote a rather sarcastic letter to the
official, 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
Kelley begged that it should be restored

Blowing a Cork Into Il Bottle.

Ask some of the company if they can

placed in the mouth of bottle so that
it will 60 into the body of the bottle.
Lay the bottle on the table upon its
side and place the bit Of cork about an
inch or less inside the open end. The
uninitiated will blow until they get red
in the face, and the cork will invariably
come out of the bottle instead of going
into it. There is simple reason for it
too The direction of the air forced by
the one blowing brings it against the
bottom of the bottle. The air congresses
within the bottles walls and must find
an outlet; therefore it is turned and fore
ed out at the only vent the bottle has,
necessarily blowing the cork with it.
But take a common lemonade straw,
place the end of it near the cork in the
bottle neck. blow very gently-and the
cork rolls in.
