WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

An Englishman Talks of Communion
With the Spirit World.
A new and interesting point in the
study Of the occult is being discussed
In London. 1t is the effect of diet on
dreams and communication with the
spirit world. 1t is suggested that to
obtain clear dreams-dreams which
are free from anything of fantastic,
horrible or distorted nature-it is not
only necessary to retire to rest with
the mind calm and contented, but the
body must also have been nourished
with light and easily digestible food.
Most persons have experienced night
mare, due in the great majority OF
cases to heavy meal before going to
bed: but apart from this, no person, it
seems, can attain the perfect dream
without special course of diet.
B. a. Cochrane, who Is an authority
on the subject of dreams, which he
has studied for years, says:
~ have discovered that no clear
dream is possible on the ordinary diet.
No meat or similarly heavy food, nor
anything containing alcohol, must be
taken II the right kind of dream is
to come, am fruitatarian myself,
and fruit is the best kind Of food for
the perfect dreamer, although any
thing very easily digestible will serve
the purpose. Such a diet will enable
persons to get into actual touch with
the sptBit wsrld, and they will be able
to recaai their dreams on the awaken

NEW ENGLAND CONSCIENCE.
The scruple That Prevented Young
Widows Remarriage.

The Scruple That Prevented u Young
Widows Remarriage.
Said a drummer visitor Miss M. E.
Boyd) to young widow-a seam
stress-in New Hampshire hill town,
one day last summer: "You must be
lonely here now since your husband
died. Perhaps you will feel like mar
rying again; you are not so very old"
ooh, Miss Mary" she answered in q
voice full Of feeling, If only could
If only dared!" And then came the
simple story and touching example
Of 1.-The New England conscience"
She had loved in early youth a young
man whom her mother disapproved as
a sutton. He was a joiner by trade
and worthy, but the mother, having
higher ambitions, separated the cou-
pie. The girl married a quiet man,
her senior, who died few years later.
Then, after decent interval, the old
lover, who had thriven in business,
asked her again to become his wife.
That seemed a beautiful and natural
ending of the story. But no. "Ah!',
cried the poor thing. IF had loved
my husband could go to James with
happy heart-oh, how happy! But
although things were pleasant enough
between my husband and me, always
felt the difference and at heart l was
unfaithful to him. I think this is
meant for my punishment for think
ing Of James while l had a husband
living. We can never marry.''-Buf-

"a Thu Journal,

Special to The Journal. 81.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 1.-Arrange-
ments are under way to put into Pra;
tice novel method Of newspaper al
vertising and thus demonstrate 1ts
feasibility. ,,:
prominent member of the South Dakota
Retail Merchants and Hardware Dealers
association, who for years has Deen one
of the best newspaper advertisers IN
the northwest, has further endeared
himself to the heart of the newspaper
man by the suggestion of this plan. IL
generally adopted by the merchants OF
The northwest, it will result in largely
increased advertising patronage for the
daily and weekly newspapers, and the
consequent increased prosperity OF the
merchants who make liberal use OF
printers ink.
Mr.. Nelson's idea of good adver-
tisement is one written in clear and
concise manner, containing brlef de-
scription of the goods and the prices
asked He believes too many mer'
chants do not quote prices.
- "Ad'' Writer Wanted.
The plan, in brief, for increasing
newspaper advertising and thereby in
creasing the business Of the merchants,
is for the merchants, one hundred or
more, residing in different towns: to
club together and engage the services
Of thoroly competent advertising
man, and to, have him prepare snappy
and up-to date advertisements for all
the merchants interested in the ar
rangement. 49, =
The price. each merchant would be
required to pay for his work would
be nominal, as low as so cents week
if the number Of merchants in the ar
rangement was sufficient. The adver.
tisements would cover all lines of bust
ness, and the man at the head of the
bureau would be fully competent to
Mr.. Nelson recommends that those
who enter into the agreement make
yearly contracts for advertising space
in the newspapers in which they wish
their advertisements to appear, and
contract for nothing smaller than a
double half-column, for by taking a
more liberal space they can secure
much better terms correspondence
than for small space.
The working out of the plan, when it
is put in practice, will be watched with
interest by all interested in the wei
fare of the merchants and newspaper
men.

made use of, but he persevered until
he finally interested Rockefeller in the
scheme and borrowed $l,500,00O, mort

Then Brown set about bringing his
mines out of the wilderness. He planned
the Duluth & Iron Range railroad, now
the greatest ore carrier in the world,
to carry his orezto a deep water harbor
Rails. were laid, and soon development
had gone far enough to show fnanciers
what the property really was worth.
Negotiations were begun with James
r.. Hill and several associates for the
sale of the property, and a deal practl-
cally was closed for it's transfer at a
price which would have made. Brown
and Merritt milionaires y several times
over. ~- j. -
1t was here that Brown made his
fatal mistake. He never suspected
treachery and told of the deal to a man
who was closely associated with Rookie
Teller. For what followed Brown al
ways put the blame directly on the
shoulders Of the oil magnate.
| Coup Costs Him Fortune.
He declared, over and over, that
Rockefeller put the screws on Hill and
his associates so that they could not
get the ready money to complete their
bargain. At any rate the deal fell
thru, Brown s notes to Rockefeller be-
came due, the mortgage was foreclosed
and the immensely valuable ore property
fell into the hands Of the Standard Oil
chief for mere fraction Of its value.
Millions Of dollars have been taken
out Of the mines since that time, ore
worth millions more is in sight, and no
one can compute the value that full de-
velopment will give the property in the
future. For years fleets of steamers
carrying thousands of tons at load
have been taking the ore away, yet the
surface is barely scratched.
The loss Of the fortune almost within
his grasp proved too much for Merritt.
He was broken-hearted, and within five
weeks was carried to his grave. Brown
always maintained that it was the oil
kings trickery that killed him.
But Brown was made Of sterner stuff,
