What has resulted in prolonging the

DREAMING AND WAXING FORMS

Harvey, who discovered the circula-
tion of the blood, is said to have re-
corded a dream in which bumblebee
stung him in his left thigh, on a place
where couple of days later appeared
an ugly ulcer. Malesherbe, the re-
nowned French author, found himself
in a dream attacked by rowdy who
stabbed him in his left breast with a
dagger in an area where the following
evening he felt the first attack of
severe pneumonia. "The archives of
medical reports" says DR.. Axel Emil
Gibson, "are heavy with cases Of a
similar character, which have either
received no explanation at all or else
have been explained away entirely"
DR.. Gibson calls attention so the
fact that dreams depend on some other
media than those known as the five
senses. A conclusive evidence in favor

WEALTH DUE TO LAZINESS

With the opening up of the section
of the Province of Ontario in the
neighborhood of North Bay, a couple
of hundred miles directly north of the
city of Toronto, all sorts of tales have
drifted down out of that country
about the mineral wealth it contains
and the lucky Strikes" that have been
made by prospectors. One of the
most romantic of these, and one that
has the merit of having real wealth
to show for it, concerns w. G.. Trethe-
way, now resident of Toronto, who
is the possessor of mine that has
already paid him a small fortune,
which he found simply owing to his
lazy habits.
At the time he made his Strike"
Tretheway was a travelling salesman
for a wholesale shoe house and was

trict, called Cobalt, from the deposits
Of that mineral that had been found in

DREAM OF VANISHED BOyH00D

There's a scene remember, an oft chos-

Where the grass in midsummer was

And where, in its joy, was bright little
river
That rippled and babbled and murmur-

A clear little, bright little mite of river
That sparkled and chartered and muir
INJURED along.
And there on the high grassy bank was
the beechwood,
The far-reaching elm cast its shadow
around;
Twas there too the silver leaved maple
was growing,
And the bright fiery tassels OF sumach
were found
While on through the patches of shade
and of sunshine.
In ripple and eddy still dancing away,
That dear little clear little mite Of
river
Kept murmr ring and singing the whole
summer day.
And there too, the red-breasted robin was
singing,
The bluebird once swayed in the
branches on high
AS If undecided which charms to be seek
ing
The green OF the earth or the blue OF
the sky
While still from the depth of the shadiest
With ripple and song, never ceasing to
run,
That dear little, bright little mite of
river
Whired merrily into the light of the
sun.
And there leaped the trout through the
rapids and shadows,

The olive has been symbol In
more than one mythology. The dove
bringing the branch to the ark gave
it to the imagination of the Orient as
an emblem of peace or confidence re-

sign Of peace and the placid power of
wisdom.
Though a native of Syria, and pos

Western Asia, southern Europe, north

America, Mexico-in all these places
the olive grows readily, taking on an

to be unavoidable that it is only as
far as physical vision is concerned that
the optic nerve guides and limits the
field of vision.
