RAPID FLIGHT OF DREAMS.
Extraordinary Capacity of the Brain
in Slumber,

An eminent public man of England
whose mental faculties had been sub
jected to TOO great Il strain and who suf-
fered greatly from mental depression
that amounted almost to tine disease Of
melancholia, was told by his physician
that he must rest his brain. He was Il
very busy man and scoffed at his doc
tors prescription of Il nap in the mid
die of the day.
Finally, after much persuasion, he
agreed to this experiment: III would sit
in his easy chair every afternoon with
his hands on his knees, holding din
nerbell in his hands. If lie lost con-
sciousness and went to sleep he would
be willing to sleep for the period that
1t took for the dinner bell to fall to the
floor and wake him.
The doctor who suggested this ar
nngement declared that the mere men,
tai relaxation of going to sleep, IL OIL
ly for n few seconds, would suffice to
save him. He invited his patient to
study the activity of the brain by no
ticing how many things he could
dream while the dinner bell was falling
to the floor.
Every day for many months the man
sat down after luncheon with the din
nor bell in his hands. Every day he
went to sleep, slept for half Il second.
while the bell fell to the floor, and his
mental condition improved steadily,
partly because of the rest which his
mind got through losing consciousness
for n second and partly because of his
interest in the extraordinary dreams
which passed through his brain while
the bell was falling.

Human Pack Horses in Mexico.

A striking feature of these roads is
the number of human beasts of bur
den" you meet. The roads are so bad
that there is very considerable risk in
conveying goods of any kind-risi
both to the goods and the pack mule
that carries them; consequently large
numbers or Indians make living by
carrying. The Mexican Indian carries
his load on his back. slung by a broad
leather belt across the forehead. Thus
all his limbs are perfectly free, and ne
carries a long, light stick. like an al
penstock, to steady himself in going
down steep places or in crossing
streams. These men will, in good
weather, carry load from 100 to $50
pounds over the worst of roads, for
distance of twenty to twenty-five
miles a day. They wear no clothing
except a pair of cotton breeches rolled
half way up the thighs, and pair OF
leather sandals on the feet; and each
man carries a blanket to roll himself
up in at night. They eat no meat,
their only food being posol tboilcd
maize ground and mixed with sugar.
then rolled into n ball and carried
moisD. This they break into a bow
of water mix up well to the consist
ency of thin cruel, and drink. and
their only food consists of this posnl
and tortillas. The power of enduranre
displayed by these carriers is wonder

Snobbery in America.

In the days when King Edward
was Prince of Wales he always re.
Quired, when paying a visit, thst list
of his fellow guests be submitted to
him so that he might add to or re-
duce the same. The New York -four
hundred" have taken up this custom.
Grand Duke Boris was dinner guest
at the Newport villa of Mrs. Ogden
Goelet, and was allowed to indicate
just how the company should be
made up, SO that in a certain sense
the entertainment was all his own.

CHAPTER XIV.

Count Leon Sees a Great Light.
Strange sounds, issuing from a ket-
tie Just before 1t commences to boil,
give warning that the conjuring of the
evil spirit within has begun.
So in the case of the Monte Carlo
conspiracy, as the fated moment drew
lists approached the crisis, there was
an uneasy movement that could be de-
tected in certain circles, as though
those who were connected with the
grand game experienced a nervous
electricity that always appears when
the fate of a tremendous project Is in
suspense.
Count Leon was like grand mar
,shal.
1t was the crisis of his life.
Should success follow his master
stroke, he could count upon great hon
ors under the new emperor of the
French.
What dream could be more exten-
sive than this. covering as 1t did
wealth, honor and love?
No doubt some men would have be-
come "rattled" because of the multi
plicity of the duties thrust upon them.
Not so Villebois.
His long life in African wilds.
where dangers in the most astonishing
and unexpected guise waylaid him at
every turn, had eminently fitted this
man for just such a situation.
If he failed 1t would be through no
fault of his, but because forces OF
which he was in utter ignorance had
entered the field
Such as Jones. for instance.
How should the fiery Gaul imagine
that this wonderful man, who carried
the future of Monte Carlo In the hol-
low of his hand. and had already twice
broken the famous bank-how should
he dream that this Jones was any
thing but what he represented himself

A GREAT SUFFERER FROM

81 was a great sufferer from Rheu-
matism for many years. during which
time 1 tried many remedies. from
which I received but very little relief
Being advised to use st. Jacobs OIL,
l did SO. and am happy to say that
after few applications l felt great
relief, and continuing its use l can
now say I am perfectly well. St.
Jacobs Oil is, in my opinion. thing
which should be in every household"
What blessing. and what hours OF
suffering, pain and misery would
have been saved had Mr.. Moore
adopted the wiser course and used
St. Jacobs Oil at first, instead OF
wasting time and money on worthless
embrocations and nostrums with
which. unfortunately. the market is
flooded. The public should not lose
sight of the fact that st. Jacobs Oil
has conquered pain for more than fifty
years, and it isn't going to stop doing
the same thing now or at any future
time.-Fifty years record OF pain

CHAPTER XIII.-(Continued
Merrick would have been lost in
amazement could be have seen his
old and simple friend. Jones, great
hearted Jones. who broke the bank at
Monte Carlo because of the deep de-
testation he felt toward the world
wide sin of gambling. which he hoped
to stop through radical homeopathic
treatment-Jones, who had appeared
so utterly guileless and honest with
Merrick, gave evidence of having
some secret affiiiation with the
French government.
Stranger things than this have hap
pened and Yankee detectives have
ere now won fortune in foreign parts.
The men who kept near Jones
seemed both ready and willing to
obey his slightest wish, whether it
meant to watch over the booty he
had forced the swollen bank to dis
gorge at the call of his grand system.
or to guard the president Of the re-
public from evil designs-these men
were like himself, members of the
Paris secret police. accustomed to
peril in all its guises. and only ach-
ing for a chance to strike the con-
spiracy a knockout blow between the
eyes.
Matters were not so bad, then,
after all.
If the royalists could gather quite
a force in the endeavor to carry out
their plans, the president was not
wholly unprotected while he had
these brave men to call upon.
Jones was curiously affected while
In the presence of the other.
He could not account for his feel
ings at the time. but as opportunity
arose he cast many a side glance at
the president.
The fact of the matter was that
the first gentleman of France seemed
to have such a happy faculty for dis
guising not only his face, but his
voice as well, that Jones was puzzled
to account for his identity.
Why. an actor could hardly have
done better.
Really. the distinguished gentle
man who shone so brightly in the pc
culiar sphere where fortune had
placed him might have also made
a name in the annals of the stage.
II his present enort were any crlte-
rion to his ability.
Little guessed the majority of those
good people who sauntered about the
gardens, chatting of the remarkable
scene SO recently witnessed, and the
uncertain future of Monte Carlo, that
in their very midst stalked the ele-
ments of a sensation far more tragic
than a mere run upon the bank. or
any scene connected with that men,
orable event.
1t is often so in real life.
Perhaps when Merrick learned the
news, If he ever did, he would CON-
prehend certain things in connection
with the run upon the heather bank,
and suspicious might well arise re-
garding the philanthropical motives
influencing Jones.
But the time for dreaming and re-
Election was gone, while the hour for
action had swung into line-Jones
gave the president the benefit of his
experience in such matters, and just
as the two gentlemen who acted as
special body guard came up again.
eyeing him suspiciously the while,
our good friend saw the curtain ring
up on the last act of the strange
drama.
