WOMEN AND DREAMS.
SuperstitiOn That Is Rife Even
Among the Educated Fair Sex.

1t doesn't seem possible that in this
enlightened age superstition could be
rife among the educated. but there are

she says to herself, by way Of bolster
ing up her courage. Il am not super

Gus just the same for days until her
troubles have driven this mythical one
out of her mind.
There's one young woman known to
the writer who never dreams Of a
young child without shivering and
shaking for days after in fear of some
dreadful thing happening to her. She
has not consulted dreambook on the
subject, and so she doesn't know how
infants and bad luck became connected
In her mind, but nevertheless, after she
has had visit of this sort while Sleep

and then makes up her mind to be pa

She is an intelligent woman, mind
you, but she doesn't attempt to explain
the terror that besets her at this par
ticular dream. She doesn't call herself
superstitious-of course no woman
does. not even the one who wouldn't
walk under ladder--but her friends
do and make light of her until she cx-
poses some fetch of theirs, when the
subject is carefully avoided afterward.

Ceaselesn Growth of the Ears.

The systematic examination Of more
than 10000 pairs Of human ears In
England and France has resulted In
some interesting conclusions. For one

continues to grow in the later decades
of life. In fact, 1t appears never TO
stop growing until death. A woman

The New York Naval Arch

with regret we notice the formal dis
banding of the committee to perpetuate
the naval arch in New York. With the
removal Of the battered remnants Of
the temporary structure in Madison
square there probably goes all hope Of
making what would have been a nots-
bic addition to the city not only from
an artistic, but from a sentimental
point Of view. The arch has been scan
ned by many prominent sculptors, and
the consensus of opinion seems to be
that 1t was one Of the finest plastic
works Of the century.
That the temporary arch will not be
perpetuated in marble or some other
enduring material $ not to be ascribed
to any lack Of public appreciation Of
the work Of our navy nor to waning
enthusiasm. The past has shown that
the nation willingly dips into It's pocket
to maintain the navy and that the work
OF the man behind the gun is appreciat-
ed. The probable cause of the decision
to stop further progress in the way of
erecting a permanent memorial is that
such work is invariably tedious and
discOuraging undertaking, as is seen in
the great length of time required to
complete the national monument in
Washington.
Despite the action Of the committee 1t
ought not to follow that the project is
dead and buried for all time. 1t is an
open secret that an offer has been
made to erect the arch In terra Gotta
for $250,0O0. Terra Gotta Is q material
that should not be sneered at as I'M
worthy such a noble use, for there are
some notable monuments in the world
composed Of baked clay. One Of the
advantages Is that it offers a means Of
employing color which shall be as dura-
bic as the material itself, and history
shows that the material is certainly
long lived.

The report Of the superintendent of
the dead letter office of the postoff1ce
department indicates that the letter
writer's of the country are increasingly
careless in the matter Of addressing
their mail and that the people to whom
letters are sent are quite Indifferent In
taking precautions to secure their de
livery. During the year no less than
1906, 1873 pieces of mail matter were re-
ceived at the dead letter office, an in
crease of about 10 per cent over the
year preceding This Is an average Of
one dead letter for every ten inhabit-
ants of the United States. There was
an increase of about the same percent
age in the ordinary unclaimed letters,
which reached total Of $500, 800. One
Of the striking features of this report
is the showing that 5O,553 letters were
handled by this office containing money
to the aggregate amount of $44, 1908.
Of this sum $11,437.3S could not be re-
stored to the owners and now rests In
the United States treasury as part of
Uncle Sans yearly rake off No less
than 81, 638 pieces of mail matter were
received without any address what
ever, a large percentage of them con-
tanning money The postoffice depart
mrnt has adopted every possible device
to reduce this annoyance, but so long
as the public remains Indifferent to the
details Of the public postal system it
Will doubtless continue. Constant
warnings, such as this report contains,
ought to make people somewhat more
careful in addressing their letters.
