At "About 30 +"

When one knows the age of woman
one knows the woman. The very fact
that she permits you to know her age
exposes her character. She no longer
masquerades. She has lost a certain
uncertainty, an evanescent delicacy,
that was an irresistible charm. Wom-
en-, like philosophy, are divided into
two classes, the movable and the un-
movable. Also, like philosophy, it is
the unknowable woman who is the
speculable. Therefore to get her at her
highest capacity she must be unmar-
ried and about 80.
The married woman presents certain
inescapable telltale data She has
children, and those children have ap-
parent ages, two facts which go far in
determining her annals. If she is un-
married and is not "about 3O' she is
under 80, again a definite fact. Being
"about 30'' is indefinite. She may be
more or less. No one hazards a guess.
There Is delightful vagueness in be-
ing "about 80" 1t has nothing to do
with dates, and many of us who from
our youth up have felt no attachment
for dates can forgive the unattached
their confessed Indifference.

MAKING DREAMS USEFUL.
Daily Life the Main Factor in Causin.
Our Night Time Visions.

A. +. Gibson presents an exhaustive
analysis of the physical and psychica!
basis of dreams. He sums up his views
in part as follows: To sum up tile ar
gument, dream and waking differ Ill de-
gree and form of manifestation only, not
in principle and essence. Like waking
consciousness. dream reveals, but does
not create. The same world that sur
rounds the waking individual surrounds
the dreaming, only the viewpoints and
media of observation are changed.
As the life experience of an individual
in his waking consciousness receives its
character and value by and through his
power of response to environment, so in
a similar way the value of dream de-
ponds upon the power of the Ego to re-
spond to consciousness in its various
forms Of emotions, ideas and feelings
which constitute the environments OF the
subjective or dream plate. Waking or
dreaming, the individual is, or becomes
'Fhat he chooses to be at any given mo-
anent of his existence.
The background for ordinary dreams
consists of undigested remnants of wax
ing life. Hence, ordinary dreams are
merely undigested life being made mp By
tongings, desires. anticipations idle hopes
and miscarried realizations, which, occu-
plying the mind during the day, ar over
taken by sleep before having reached
their fruitiOn. Hence the mixture, in
most dreams, of the sane and the insane,
of truth and delusion.
On the other hand, the life lived out
and assimilated in a purposeful existence
becomes absorbed in the formation of
character and leaves no residue to form
the bizarre staging for the confused
dream And to such an individual the
intuitions of dream life, with their daz-
cling imaginery, will introduce symbols
which, properly interpreted, may carry
the significance of provision or prophecy.
Therefore, to turn dreams into useful, in
telligent and ineligible factors, we must
fill our waking life with deeds and
thoughts of universal usefulness, and
freight the train of events with an I'M,
finching devotion to duty and virtue

some of which were bronze, others ter

Mailing the Ghost.

An extraordinary instance of rustic
superstition has been brought to light in
an Hungarian village. Owing to sinister
rumors as to the cause of death, the au-
thorities had the body OF a peasant ex-
hands and feet nailed down to the coffin.
while a long nail had also been driven
through the heart An inquiry was at
once held, with the result that an old
woman confessed that the act had been
perpetrated under her directions. The
man had died a sudden DEATH and, there
being superstition in Hungary that per-
sons dying under such circumstances
haunt the house in which they die, the
further superstition has grown up that
post-mortem Temperatures can be pre-
vented by mailing the body in its coffin.
The old woman further admitted having
done the same thing in all similar cases
for many years.-Loudon Globe.
