In Kentucky a short time ago
nightmare was given earnest consider
alton by the State Supreme Court,
and there Ii some reason to think that
In all the long and cruel history Of
Nightmares this is the first one that
ever received such high judicial at
tentlon. To calm the nerves of all
habitual sufferers 1t Is we'll to say
right now that the nightmare received
short shrift. The case had originally
been brought by man named Smith
against the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, and had gone up on appeal.
Smith had suffered personal injuries
and alleged that the railroad company
was liable because Of its negligence.
He set forth not merely physical suf-
fer1ng as an element Of damage. but
also mental suffering. In part proof
Of the latter the lower court allowed
him to tell about his nightmare. He
had dreamed that his hand was to be
amputated, and, being greatly trou-
bled In his dream for fear he and his
hand would never get together again,
ne had asked his wife to preserve his
has1d in ice, so that finally It could be
buried with him. The Supreme Court
reversed the case because of this tale
Of the dream, holding that all the
rules Of evidence had been violated
when it was introduced. Smith and
his lawyers think he was badly treat
ed. That nightmare occasions very
real and very terrible suffering no one
will deny. That it is mental suffer
ing Is also clear. That this particular
nightmare was the probable result of
Smiths mental condition in his wax
ing hours, brought about by his injury,
he proposed to prove by scientific
books and expert witnesses. Then why
should his evidence not receive hear
ing? The nightmare advocates will
hardly establish their point. At least
every witnesses thus afflicted should be
required to prove that he was free
from indigestion and that he was not
the possessOr of an over-lively i'm
agination, before his testimony is &C.
cepted. 1t would surely be great
misfortune if expert nightmare wit
nesses would not have to be added to
the many other kinds Of experts who
are called to the stand to give contra
dictory testimony in up-to-date court
trials.

1t is not true that we have always
been a world power in anything like
the sense that We are to-day. We have
grown into this position gradually and
our attainment. Of 1t has been won by
the exercise of an energy and enter
prise, in competition with the rest of
the world. for which no parallel Is to
be found in human history. There Is
no question that to-day the United
States Is q world power, and more than
that it Is perhaps the greatest of world
powers, destined in the future to WELD
greater influence in the political and
commercial AFFAIRS of mankind than
any other nation does now or has ever
done. III.

swayed their victims here as in every

Along this way tramped the Roman

of victory drowning the groans OF

has been suddenly hushed as they
drew aside to let pass some grief

1t Is because Of our unchanging

Artificial Noses, Mouth Former. an,
Dimnle OenterH.

Artificial Noses, Mouth Formers and
Dimple Denters.
The best artificial noses nowadays
are made of papier mache, enameled.
Such nose is fastened to spectacle
frame sometimes for the sake of con-
venicnce and thus may be put on or re-
moved ut brief notice.
There is q patented continuance,
somewhat resembling clothespin, for
attachment to the nose to give to the
organ a proper taper. Another device
is supposed to improve the lines of
the mouth.
Not few people have no roofs to
their mouths, having been born with
out any, or in other cases having lost
them by disease. For such unfortu-
mates artificial mouth roofs made of
galvanized rubber are furnished.
There is patented device for clean
ing the tongue, consisting Of a knife
with concave edge to which a sort OF
sponge brush is attached. When one
is not well ones tongue is liable to be
disagreeably coated, but the annoy
ance may be removed by means Of the
instrument described.
If you desire dimples you may wear
certain kind of wire mask at night
to which are attached blunt wooden
points that may be caused by the help
Of screws to press upon the points
where the dimples are wanted. Thus
after awhile the dimples are made to
appear.

ICE FOR HEATING.

Civilization.
The use of ice for heating purposes
Is one of the oddities of our modern
civilization. Often it happens that Il
train carrying fruit from the south to
the northern market encounters a cold
spell while en- route. If the tempers-
ture goes below certain point the per-
ishable merchandise will be ruined.
But such misfortune may be prevent
ed by covering the fruit car with a
coat of ice, Il thing easily accomplished
by turning hose upon it and allowing
the water to freeze until the whole We
hiclc is enveloped in IL CLASSY and gilt,
tcring blanket.
1t may, indeed, be appropriately call
cd IL blanket, inasmuch as it prevents,
the radiation of heat from the interior
of the car The ice being good non-
conductor the warmth Is retained and
the fruit, or possibly it may be vegeta-
bles. goes on Its way unspoiled even
by zero weather.
Cars used for transporting oranges
and other fruit from California 10 the
cast are often provided nowadays With
large cylindrical lice stoves" as they
might be called, ut each end, which,
while useful in summer time for re-
frigeration, are filled with ice during

masters to deduct their longitude. The

allows them to ride through u toll bar

also relieves them from the tax on

were highly valued in 1904, when the
act was passed; but, as yeomen are
not now liable for the militia ballot,
as toll bars have been abolished and as
hair powder is no longer in request,
these favors have ceased to have any
