DREAMEEsz1 SLEEP.
There In No SUCH Thing, According
to mn Eaglish Scientist.

There liz M SuS IA Thing, According
to nm EaGlish Scientist.
According to Sir Arthur Mitchell of
English fame, there is no such thing
as dreamlcss sleep; that thinking Is
Involuntary to the extent at least that
we cannot cease to think under any
order of the will; that thinking never
ceases during life and Is essential to
the continuance Of life; that dream
thinking Is uncontrolled and indirect
ed by the will, Is never coherent and
concentrated, Is more or less of the
same character as thinking In delirium
and constitutes state Of mental dis
order which Is not a state of disease;
that thinking when awake Is always to
some extent under the control Of the
will by which 1t Is directed to sub
ject and kept there; that there are
many degrees of sleep and wakefulness
and as many degrees of efficiency in
the controlling power of the Will; that
thinking, like breathing or the beating
Of the heart does not cause a sense of
WEAKNESS, though all three have Il
wearing effect on all the organs con-
cerned; that the willis inhlblting and
directing work brings fatigue and q
demand for rest; that the will finds
this rest and rcfreshment In sleep and
that the frequent occurrence of state
Of disordercd mind In sleep does not do
us harm, but on the contrary does us
good.

A BABOON HUNT.
Horribly Suggestive of Slaughter of
Human Beings.


A traveller writing from South Africa
describes buboon hunt as follows:
Very slowly we spread out round
about the base Of the kopje and began
crawling ascent through the thick
scrub Katilrs and farmers together,
we formed something of loose circle
around the kopjc. Daylight found us
drawing near the higher spurs Of the
kopje and the Kafflrs were busy beat
ing.
Then the sport began, and pretty I'M
broke through our circle for we only
mustered seven guns, but as we neared
the top of the kopje could tell by
the noises all about me that some exc
cution was being done My first XIII
gave me a most uncomfortable thrill.
1t was horribly like picking off man.
The balloons We're great big human
looking brutcs, quite capable Of pick
ing up n lamb In their hands and run
ming off with It, As fact, they gen
orally content themselves with ripping
the beast open to get Mt the curdled
milk within But their cries We're the
most horribly human thing about them
and the gestures of their waving arms.
When we all met Il careful count was
made Thirty balloons had been
bagged. Seven had fallen to my gun"
