DREAMS AS WARNINGS.
Periodicity of Impressions as an Ex-

Periodicity of Impressions as an Ex-
PLANTATION of Premonitions.
DR.. Herman Swoboda, of Vienna,
has recently provided US with some
very interesting data in reference to
dreams, data which may do great
deal in explaining many phenomena
which up to the present have been
looked upon as the work Of mysterious
agencies. This scientist believes that
impressions and events are again
brought into the field Of consciousness
after certain specified intervals, In the
case Of men after twenty-three days
and In the case Of women after twen-
ty-eight days. Thoughts and recollec-
tons, on the other hand, have a peri
odicity which is apparently not ex-
planned in any way by examination
Of the customary train Of ideas. The
reproduction Of impressions and rec
objections is SO regular that DR.. Swo-
boda has frequently succeeded in pre-
dieting the appearance of certain
dreams at specified times.
He himself always has the we'll
known flying dream twenty three
days after he has been skating, and it
is probable that continual use Of our
arms and legs in other than in q nor
NAL manner, as In dancing, skating,
bicycling, etc., will, after a period of
twenty three or twenty-eight days, pro-
duce the flying dream" This form
Of dream is doubtless the result Of the
so-called muscular sense, for we pos
sess feeling not only of the position
Of our muscles, but also of the changes
which these muscles undergo in the
movement.
However, the most remarkable part
Of DR.. Swoboda's work is its bearing
on premonitons and the key 1t gives
to the explanation Of large mass of
this phenomena. Again we will resort
to the cases mentioned by the author,
which will indicate his meaning clear
ly and briefly. DR.. Swoboda tells of
the case Of a physician who dreams
that lie is called upon to see a sick
child. On Jan. 3 the physician made
a visit to the child under discussion,
and the nights of March q and % he
had his dream. During his visit of
Jan. 8 he had received the impressions,
which after the triple lapse Of the
period Of twenty-eight days were
again presented in the dream. At the
same time the physician had his dream
the mother Of the child had a dream
which represented the former visit Of
the physician, in the case Of the ply
stefan the dream creating a Fremont
ton that he would be called to see the
child, while with the mother there was
suggested the advisability Of calling
in the physician.-Public Opinion.

Fni1ure Of Romantic Marriages.

Failure OF Romantic Marriages.
There are too many young people
who allow their hearts to run away
with their heads in love affair. A
young man and woman hardly out of
their teens are attracted toward each
other. They think that they are both
In love. Their parents consider, on
the other hand, that they are too
young to know their own minds, re-
fuse their consent. and advise the
young people to wait awhile. OF
course, the latter Immediately consider
that they are being unjustly dealt
with, and treated like children, and
determine that they will not be baked
in their desire to get married.
Many girls are inclined to consider
that parental frIendliness has not
much effect on the happiness Of mar
ried life. This is great mistake.
There may come times of i'll fortune
and advice would prove invaluable
And the wife who cannot call on that
help is apt to feel bitter sense Of
loneliness and isolation.
1t would be a sorry world II all
romance were dead. but unless the
romance is tempered with reason it
can hardly have happy ending.
And it is not until a few months
after the ceremony that they discover
their folly. Their passion blinded them
to the fact that they had very little
in common. They did not stop to con-
slider the responsibilities of married
life, and the consequence is that their
matrimonial venture is an utter fail

Natives OF the San Bias Coast.

The natives Of the San Bias coast,
part Of the western coast Of South
America, have many peculiar customs.
The Indian boy after his marriage be-
comes the slave Of his father-in-law
and must submit in all things to his
will until emancipated by his own
daughters marriage, when he sets up
his own home and becomes thence
forth master OF his son-in-law. The
men are very jealous of their women,
and In case Of war or other grave
danger their first step is to kill their
wives and children. They believe
dreams and insanity to be the work Of
evil spirits, and the dreamer upon tell
ing his dream is killed. The insane
are burned alive. They allow no for
eigner to sleep In one Of their VIII

members would be shocked If they
fully realized the fact. Love their
own? OF course they do, and all the
toll is for the sake Of these beloved
ones, they say, and really believe. And
yet the work has become a fetish
not something for the family comfort,
but something before which all else

BROOMS MADE FROM WOOD
FIBER.

The newest brooms are made from
wood fiber instead of corn. The fibre
are shorter, and are set like a brush,
which is attached to the usual sort of
handle by two strong Tres. These
fibres penetrate the nap of carpet
and take out the dust. They also fit
into the edges and corners of the
room, and are very light to handle.
The newest mop has a scrub brush
which fits firmly upon the end and
makes it possible to scrub without
getting down upon ones knees. The
brush can be removed and the usual

HOW TO WASH STRAW MATING.
Never use soap in washing a mat
ting, because the alkali in it will
eventually become yellow and destroy
the fiber, says the Brooklyn Times
The most effective mode of washing
a mating is to use lukewarm water,
adding salt in the proportion of a
handful to a bucket of water. The
floor should be dried thoroughly.

CHAPTER XIII.

The day spring came at last, and In
the sick light Of it l went down to the
cottage for spade and pickax. Della,
seeing me return with the sad tools on
my shoulder, spoke for the first time:
First, if there will be a well neal
fetch me two buckets Of water and leave
us for an hour"
Her voice was weary and chill. But a

Molly browsed. lifting now and then her
head to look.
When all was done, we turned away,
dry-eyed, and walked together to the cot
tage. The bay horse was feeding on the
moor below; and finding him still too
lame to carry Della, / shifted the sad
dies. and mending the broken rein, set
her on Molly.
Della, have you nothing to sayY
For a while she seemed to consider;
then, with her eyes fixed on the hills
ahead, answered:
Much, IL l could speak; but all this
has changed me somehow-'tis, perhaps,
that have grown a woman, having been
a girl-and need to get used to 1t, and
think"
But, dear Della, when your anger has
cooled"
MY anger was brief: am disappoint-
