HOW DREAMS ARE MADE.
Are Generally Repetition u
Thoughts Unguided by Reason.
From thu Chicago Record.

From tn. Chicago Record
Dreams are generally a repetition of
thoughts unguided by reason. Those caused
by internal action or brought about by ac-
ton within the body are due entirely to
the action and state of the stomach, which
in turn is affected by the quantity and
quality of food consumed.
The first ends feelers of the nerves are
located in the walls of the stomach, and
as the food is digested they draw up the
nourishment and distribute it throughout
the nervous system to replace the waste
that has taken place during the day. If
the stomach be surcharged with an album
dance of heating food, too much nourish-
ment is forced upon the brain. causing an
abnormal filling of the channels, thereby
expanding Them bringing them in touch
with others and causing the matter from
one to overflow into or to mix with the
fluid of neighborng channels. Whenever
the fluid traVerSeS a channel more or less
forcibly the thought which originated that
passage is reproduced more or less wildly.
Hence ensues the general mixing up of
thoughts which originally had no connec-
ton with each other
An overloaded stomach also causes
flow of blood to the brain, sent there by
nature to assist in aSSimilating the extra
nourshment, and the overcharged blood
vessels, pressing upon the nerve channels
near the brain, cause even more turbulent
disturbances. This accounts for the advice
of so many medical men that no consid-
cradle quantity, especially of animal food,
should BE taken Immediately before bed
time. The crossing. recrossing and touch
ing of these thought channels, brought
about in this way, produce the absurd mix
lures of fanciess that often come to us
when sleep. Fl ,a
The stomach. too. is a mill which keeps
on forever grinding, the walls acting as
the grindstones. When, therefore. there is
nothing between them or, in other words,
when the stomach is empty, one wall
grinds upon the other. causing an irrita-
ton of the nerves. which produces that pc
culiar sensation of falling from some great
height
To understand how INTERNAL aftion will
affect the dream of a sleeper 1t must be
borne in mind that those dreams which
| seem to take hours. and even days, in
passing really occupy but minute frac-
ton of a second. If. therefore. we are
awakened by some loud, strdent noise.

ANACOSTIA HAPPENINGS.
DisappOintment Over Estimates for
Puhii. ImnroN me ts-Other Items.


There is much disappointment felt among
persons interested in matters of public inn
provements for this section of the District
over the fact that in the Commissioners
estimates for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1901 so little is recommended for this
locality, where, 1t is said but little OF the
public funds are allotted at any time.
In response to general demand the
managers of the Anacostia street car hne
have replaced all summer cars on the foad
with closed cars. During the last Two
days, when many people left this SIDE or
the river to view the ceremonies IN the
city, the Anacostia line gave the public
better service than has ever been known
here before, it is said.
John Hooper, a siXteen-year-old White
how residing on Pierce street, who severe
ly burned his feet recently by accidcn ally
upsetting a pan of hot lard while at work
in bake shop on Monroe street, has been
removed to Providence Hospital for treat

CHANGE IN BURNERS.
Improved Style OF Light Along Lines
of Street Railways,


of Street Railways.
Following the policy of the electric de-
partment to secure, as far as possible
along the lines of the various surface rail-
roads now lighted by gas lamps an IL
Illuminating power greater than twenty-five
candles, the District Commissioners have
ordered that the following ninety-three ex-
listing gas lamps be equipped with Wells
bach burners:
Twenty on Columbia road from Baltimore
street south to Florida avenue; TWENTY
three on 18th street from Columbia road
south to U street; eighteen on U street
from 18th street west to 14th street and
thirty-two on 14th street from Florida to
Whitney avenue. The additional cost of
these changes over the present service will
be $40 per lamp per annum for maintenance
The lamps are to be maintained under the
clause in the appropriation for street light
ing which provides that 5000 shall be ex-
pended for lamps of a higher candle-poWer
than those consuming five cubic feet of gas
per hour.
1t was the intention of the electric de-
partment to have are electric lights placed
in position in preference to the change in
the style of gas burners, but owing to the
misinterpretation of the act of Congress
which neceSstates the holding back of
moneys that would otherwise have been
available for this purpose, it is now not
possible to establish the electric lighting
service. That is the opinion of Mr.. Thomas
!. Fisher inspector CT electric licy;tirr, and
approved by the Commissioners.

Consul Tourgec Describes Palatnble
md Economicat French DRINK.

Judg, ALBION w Tourgee who is United
States consul at Bordeaux. France, has
vritten at length an Interesting communi-
cation to the State Department on d new
use for American dried apples in France.
1T is & curious fact" he says that the
CONSUMPTION of wine In France is steadily
diminishing. This results from a variety OF
causes prominent among which is gem
eIaI belief among the common people that
the product of the vine is apt to be dele
teriously adulterated. Whether this is true
or not, it is a matter of such universal
comment that they naturally make it an
excuse for discarding wine and indulging
in a beverage which they declare is too
cheap for anybody to dream of adulterat-
ing Their first resort was to the product
of the apple and pear orchards of Nor
mandy and Brittany. In 1899 the consump-
ton of cider in Paris amounted to lo,on.No
gallons, but in consequence OF the bad
apple harvests of 1896 and 1897 this fell in
1895 to an utterly insignificant figure.
The Importation of cider to meet the de-
mand impossible because of the pro-
hibitve duty of $50 francs per hectoliter,
amounting, with the octroi duty. to about
tt cents a gal on in Paris. OF course. no
man could pay a tax of 4 cents quart
and furnish drink cheap enough to meet
the demand for cider. which could not be
diluted to any extent with water and re-
tain its peculiar tang 1t became neces-
sary therefore. to find a substitute.
with the English or American taste
this substitute would probably have been
found in a sort of beer or some mere al
coholic product. But the Frenchman. If
he is not addicted to absinthe, usually
cares little for the alcoholic character of
his favorite tpple. What he wants Is not
to become intoxicated. but to have pleas
ant drink which he can sip by the hour
in company with his friends at the buvette.
Two things are essential: First. it must
have pleasant, fruity laver IF a little
piquant much the better; and. second,
it must not make too heavy drain upon
his purse. The bourgeois rarely allows his
palate to make him forget his pocket.
Cheapness and briskness are essential ele-
ments OF a popular drink for the French
people.
A New Drink.
"Out of these conditions, aided by the
genius of some unknown mixer of drinks
in Paris, was evolved 'pquette.' a spark
ling, fruity beverage, composed of dried
apples raisins and water, allowed to stand
until fermentation takes place and Their

for its preparation by of the leading
manufacturers of Bordeaux:
Five pounds of raisins, five pounds of
dried apples and five gallons of water. Put
in an open cask and let stand for three
days; bottle with a half teaspoonful of
sugar and a bit of cinnamon in each bot
tie. Vary the flavor to suit the taste.
1T is really pleasant summer beverage
and if made in the United States might
take the place of some of our mysterious
decoctons with decided advantage to
health.
Use of American Apples.
The special American interest in pi
quette however, is found at present in the
fact that the dried apples out of which it
is made are imported from the United
States. l would note in this connection
that 800 barrels of dried apples which I
recently examined 300 were a dead loss to
the shipper, because of lack of care in dry
ing and packing.
I'm 1898 5o.OoOOOO gallons of this piquant
beverage were consumed in France, against
30, 600 600 in 1897. The dried apples used in
its manufacture are the lowest grade of
windfalls-siced. including skins, cores and
inhabitants, without distinction as to quail
ity variety, except as follows:
"O The thin slices must be we'll dried
and securely packed, 50 as not to color or
heat upon the voyage. The slices must be
white and have a spicy odor they will
not sell.
go Decayed or over-ripe fruit should
not be used, it gives too dark a color TO
the product and will not bring price suf-
ficient to pay cost Of shipment
The consumption of this beverage is
rapidly increasing IN France, and it is said
that the cider crop of this year is likely to
be so short as to create an even greater
demand for 1t. Made of carefully assorted
fruit, it should be a valuable addition to
our household drinks, since but little need
be made at a time. and it is both piquant
and practically innocuouS.'
