DREAMS OF "DEFEcTIyEs.-
Russian Book on the Visions of Deaf
Mutes, Cripples and Infants

FROM the Lind'n Globe.
The notable Russian psychologist. NJ de
Manaceire, has recently published a most
interesting and instructive book on the
dreams of The deaf and dumb. the abnor-
Elally formed people, cripples and infants.
He has noticed that in the case of the deaf
and dumb, if deafness occurs before they
are five Years old, they forget what they
have learned of spoken words; those words
never being remembered in their dreams If
the intelligence of the afflicted with deaf
ness only is highly developed. they easily.

mental faculties are weak the deafness

become both deaf and dumb. With regard
TO the abnormaliy formed. M de Manaceine
mentions the case of person born without
arms or feet who always dreamed that he
had been mutiated. New it should be borne.
in mind, he says, that the majority of per-
sons born without arms or feet ALWAYS
dream that they possess these extremities
1t Is evident, he maintains, that this differ

weak impressions hereditariIy transmitted
and in the second instance from the
strength and precision of these impressions
Persons whose limbs have been amputated

they invariably dream that they are walk
ing with their feet, with this difference
only, that as time passes their extremities
appear to become shorter and shorter.
NJ. de Manaceine mentions as a curiops
Iact that this hallucination is very pro-
nounced when the wound has healed rapid

An Absent t. Minded Professor.

From the Boston Transcript.
l have a story of a gentleman now en-
gagged in educational work which Is, 1 think,
somewhat remarkable. and is also quite
true. This gentleman was once professor of
mathematics in fine New England college
He was greatly interested in the work and
devoted himself so wholly to 1t that a natu-
raj tendency which he had to absent-mind-
edness became much accumulated. Ore day
when he had guests at dinner and was
helping them to fish from platter he TOOK
a plate bottom side up. put a fish on the
bottom of the plate and handed 1t thus tn
one OF the guests. There was a laugh at
once. and his wife said, My dear. II vour
absent -nindedness has gone so far thar Won
are serving people food on the bottom OF
plates shall insist on your resigning your
professorship." She did insist on it, and he
resigned and went into another and more
general field Of teaching. He is still little
inclined to BE- forgetfui-like some OF the
rest of us-but he has never since served
food on the bottom of a plate.

A HAT EXTRACT.
The Prim Lady, the Gentleman and
the Play.

A little EXTRACT, of which the following
Is synopsis, actually took place in of
the local theaters last week.
A well-known Washington young man,
with a pretty girl, had orchestra seats,
tering about sis. He handed the lady into
the farthest seat from the aisle. The ques-
ton Of whether ladies are to remove their
hats during theatrical performances is well
settled in this city, and the pretty girl, after
arranging herself comfortably. quietly and
deity took off her lovely creation of feath-
ers. silk and black chiffon and placed it
less conspcuously in her lap. Then she
looked at another lovely crea ton, still
larger, on the head of the lady occupying
the seat directly in front of her, and
glanced at her escort with a mournful and
expressive smile. They exchanged seats.
All around them were ladies whose es-
corts had oheerfuly or not cheerfully given
up double rates to see the star, and, with
the exception of the one particular mil
liners bill in front, all of the feminine por-
ton Of the audience was hatless.
At $3.50 the curtain went up, but the lady's
hat remained down.
Madam said the young man, in suave
but distinctly audible tones TO all those near
him, Madam, viii you please remove your
hat?'
If the lady heard, she gave no sign. She
was tall and spare and dressed in that con-
spicuous neatness and primness that is said
to indicate possessing fixed ideas of recti-
tude and department In daily life. The play
went OIL LOT d Dul 10 the young
mans eyes, evidently, all of the players on
the stage were wearing picture hats trim
med with silk bows and broad rosettes He
leaned forward again, while the blue eyes
of his companion sparkled raughishy and
everybody around appeared deeply in
terested.
Madam" said he. with cruel emphasis,
and the smiles broadened into grins on the
faces of the men, Madam, will you please
remove your hat?'
This was too much. Slowly, and with evil
dent anger, the lady's hands went up on
each side of that wonderful hat, and with
an absence of haste which spoke volumes
of unsaid things five lorg pins were leisure
ly extracted. and with many probable signs
OF inward rage the offending combination
found its way into the wearer's lap
People come to the theater for pur-
pose other than to partially undress" she
said, without turning her head
ITO see the play, madam, to see the
play" was the answer she received
And a keen edge was lent to this little
side act by the fact that the gentleman
escort of the lady with the hat neither
opened his mouth nor looked to the right or
the left during this interchange of pleas
antries.
There is, on some occasions. a fellow feel
ing between men, when silence is golden

entered Lincoln's head. He prepared
to abide in good faith the decision OF
the people, and one of the most toucn-

man though he was, and far though

TRADE UNIONS AND MACHINERY

The whole story of trade-union re-
strictlons is another chapter in the
history of the futile, because mistaken
and misdirected. struggle against the
introduction of the machine to
emancipate the labourer. The first
cutlery was against the use of maehin-
cry at all; now 1t is against its en-
ployment to its fullest possibilities.
The old fallacy, that the superseded
workman must starve, Is given a new
dress and put to slightly altered
task, as turtle as the first has been
shown to be by the clear light of
events. Machinery. in replacing hand
work, has not only increased creature
comforts and raised the general stand
ard OF living TO q level undreamed of
in advance. but in addition has
widened the field for labour TO an even
greater degree. furnishing profitable
work for hundreds where one could
find employment before and bringing
up with IL to corresponding plane
the functions and the intelligence OF
the worker. Sooner or later, it must
become apparent to all that the use of
machinery to its utmost capacity is
only a second step in the same move
ment. destined to be equally beneficert
in its results. And in this phase of the
evolution the machine shop is the
principal field, and the machine tool
the chief embodied exponent.
Groundless fears are entertained, by
many, OF the effect upon the operative
of specialization and the introduction
Of automatic machinery. II can have
but one result; the raising of the
former partly-skilled attendant to the
grade OF far more highly-skilled tool

ARBITRATION IN LABOR DIS
PUTES.

In an address before an association
| economist, who is himself an extensive
| manufacturer, made the following
statement showing the significant
| results flowing from the national
arbitration of labor disputes in his
line Of business:
The result of all this is that we
have had absolute peace in our bust
ness. In the management of our bust
ness during these thirteen years l 10
not think we have ever given single
day to the consideration of labor ques-
tions, and never have been compelled
to publish on our letter-head that All
agreements are subject to strikes and
other occurrences beyond our con-
troll"
So happy a condition of one very
large manufacturing industry is chiefly
the result of intelligent cooperation
among manufacturers whose plants are
widely scattered over the United Sta+es
and whose employees are to large ex-
tent members of an aggressive union.
III iIlS LLt W io a hAth
fact long years before the manu-
facturers had considered the utility Of
cooperation. The relation of EN-
ployer and employe had become so
strained in that trade that financial
ruin was imminent. Strikes, often If
great violence, were occurring several
times annually. Conditions became
unbearable, as we'll to the employee
who was continual loser by his acts
of despredation as to the employer who
was steadily drifting on the rocks.
In desperation, seeing the inevitable
failure of separate endeavor and
isolation few manufacturers met and
laid the foundation of an organization
that has now the peaceful and pros
porous picture faithfully portrayed by
its most distinguished member in the
words above quoted. The significant
features of this particular case is the
fact that the employee is as VIII
satisfied as the employer.-H. w. Hoyt
in Engineering Magazine.
