How Dreams Are Weighed.

An ingenious instrument which dem
onstrates the close connection that eX-
lists between dreams and brain calcula-
ton is known as the .'tilt board" A
long, shallow tray big enough for a
man to recline upon is balanced exact
~ upon a steel blade. A subject is
placed upon it and put to sleep, where
upon the end containing his feet gen.
orally falls. But eventually the subject
begins to dream, and then the tray con
tanning the sleeper's feet reascends, the
extent to which it moves, varying ac-
eording to the vividness Of the dream.
The explanation is that the blood
leaves the brain of Il sleeper directly
the mental activities cease, and, the
head us Il result becoming lighter, that
end of the balance rises. When the
sleeper dreams small quantities Of
blood are recalled to the brain to sup
ply the dreams, and the balance is
gradually changed. In this way
dreams may be weighed.

Venus Among the Incas.

The only planet which the Incas had
discovered was Venus, which they
called the hairy on account Of the
brightness of its rays. They said that,
being the most brilliant of the stars,
the sun would not permit it to be sep
arated from him and obliged it to attend
his rising as we'll as his going down,
Just as at the courts Of kings only the
most distinguished lords and the hand
soonest ladies were admitted 10 the GER
emonious royal risings and retirings.
1t appears nearly certain that the In
cas- spoke of Venus under two different
names, according as it preceded or fol-
lowed the sun. To this day the native
Peruvians name it in fanciful language
the eight hour torch and the twilight
lamp. AS this star served to show the
Indians when it was time to prepare
the maize for cooking, they also gave It
a name Indicative Of that act. A chapel
in the Temple of. the Sun was conse-
Grated to this planet.

. Three Tombs ut westminsteR.

In the east walk Of tie cloisters at
Westminster abbey there are three
most interesting graves-those Of
Thomas Betterton and bis wife, better
known as Bess Saunderson, and the
ever fascinating Mrs. Bracegirdle. OF
all the people who lie within these hal
lowed walls it may safely be said that
Betterton has the best claim Of all to
this privilege. No small measure Of
praise must be accorded to this gifted
actor for the fact that he almost more
than any one else was responsible for
the resuscitation of the English drama
after the stern regime Of the Puritans.
Mrs. Bracegirdle was either adopted by
Betterton or placed under his care, and
she very soon took all hearts in Lon
don by storm. She achieved her great.
est success in acting in Congreve's
plays. Her artistic career, however,
was a comparatively short one, for
Mrs. Bracegirdle retired from the
stage in dudgeon when Anne Dldtield
first became her dangerous rival. She
lived on in honorable retirement and
beloved by all, high ind low, far and
near, until the year 174S, when she was
buried here beside her old friends the

for Congress
Continued from first page.

date for congress, is the Yankton
Press. 1t is the prediction OF that
newspaper that Mr.. Hall will be trium-
phantly nominated by the republican
convention and elected by the voters
of the state. That is an exhibition OF
faith in the cause Of insurgency, which
is taking on strength as the days go
by and the schemes of the machine
are discussed. Mr.. Hall is considered
a strong candidate-so strong that the
governor OF the state has deemed it
a duty to dissuade him from his am
billions and place before him a few
high mountain temptations. The fact
that Mr.. Hall bases his candidacy up
on his opposition to the machine is
the drawing line and upon one side
or the other of that line the makers OF
congressman must array themselves.
Sioux Falls Press.
The Brookings REGISTER announces
Philo Hall, o serving his second
term as attorney general OF this state
Is a candidate for congress. The REG
IsTER in the course of the article con-
corning MI. Hall says: "Mr. Hall is
in absolute harmony with the people
in their strife for pure politics, proper
railroad legislation and justice to the
citizens and property holders instead
of favoritism to the corporations. He
cannot be classed as a radical, on the
contrary he is extremely practical and
conservative. He stands on positive
ground relating to the issues which
will enter into the coming campaign
in this state betwean the machine and
anti-machine factions. At the early
part of the last session of the state leg
islature he rendered an opinion favor
able to the submission Of the primary
election law, his position being that
the petition substantially complied
with the law, and inasmuch as it had
been signed by more than the required
number of voters it was the duty of
the legislature to submit it for accept
ance or rejection by the people, and
that the legislature had no authority
under the constitution of the state to
deprive the people of the right to de-
eide the question for. themselves. The
wisdom of his opinion in this respect
is now conceded by those who for GER
tain reasons opposed him at that
time. CLARK Pilot Review.

Auctioneers In England.

The auctioneers of the United King
dom cannot claim to belong to a very
ancient profession so far as that u
try is concerned. Though auctions were
familiar institutions in ancient Rome,
the first in the British islands is said
to have been held about 100, when
Elisha Yale, governor of Fort George
(AIadras), put up for sale his trophies
of the east, and, although auction"
was defined in 1878 IS "A making a
publick sale and selling Of goods by
outcry," it does not appear to have
been recognized then as q British insti-
tuition. The word 'auctioneer" does
not occur before the eighteenth CEN
fury.

Nine Nations
Now Use Liquozone. Won't You Try It-Free7

Millions Of people, Of nine different
nations, are constant users of Liquo-
zone. Some r using it to get well;
some to keep well. Some to cure
germ diseases; some as a tonic. No
medicine was Eve SO widely employed.
These users are everywhere; your
neighbors and friends are among them.
And half the people you meet-wher-
ever you are-know someone whom
Liquozone has cured.
II you need help, please ask some Of
these users what Liquozone does.
Don't blindly take medicine for what
medicine cannot do. Drugs never kill
germs. For your own sake, ask about
'Liquozone; then let IN buy you q full

most helpful thing in the world to you.
Its effects are exhilarating, vitalizing,
purifying. Yet it is a germicide so
certain that we publish on every bot
tie an offer of $1,000 for a disease
germ that it cannot kill. The reason
Is that germs are vegetables; and
Liquozone-like al excess Of oxygen
Is deadly to vegetal matter.
There lies the great value Of Liquo-
zone. 1t is the only way known to kill
germs in the body without killing the
tissue, too. Any drug that kills germs
is q poison, and 1t cannot be taken In
ternally. Every physician knows that
medicine is almost helpless in any
germ disease.

"O n who has been away from

there seem like a feverish rush,

A posada is an inn, and the idea per-
vading these festivities is that story,

er, wished to know the number of peo-
pie who bowed beneath his scepter.
In order to determine the fact he de-

all the nations composing the great
Roman empire. To effect this Angus
tus sent twenty-four commissioners to
the different parts Of his world. The
edict commanded that every person,
rich or poor, weak or strong, should go
to the place of his birth or to the orig
inal place Of his family to have his or
her name inscribed in the Roman regis

OF course there are miserable homes
