IIFES REDEEMEn.

LIES REDEEMER.
The narrow circle of a selfish life
Hath i'm 1t secret sorrow envious sin.
while all around, amid mans eager
strife
Seems constant happlness-that
comes not i'm.
A heart grows cold that feels no kind
red fire,
The mind is dwarfed that knows no
answering thought
The human soul that finds naught to
admire
Is vanquished ere the first great bat
ties fought
We live a life unknown to all our
friends,
Clutch paltry wishes with an iron
will.
Strive for our pleasures, halfway make
amends.
And careless sun, our hidden Golfers
fiji.
We are self-centered, closed about by
fate,
Long journey onward, greeting death
alone
Hard by the roadside, dreaming STILL
we wait
Glad somehow, if we hear another
moan.
Yet all turns ashes on our lips at last
Save others share our joys, our pain,
our quest
We are as shipwrecks on an island
cast,
Unless love comes to bring us peace
and rest.

A new and interesting point i'm the
study of the occult has been brought
| to light 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 a fantastic, horrible, OF
| distorted nature-it is not only ncces-
sary to retire to rest with the mind
! calm and concentrated, but the body
also must have been nourished with
light and easily digestible food.
Most people have experienced night
mare, due in the great majority OF
cases to a heavy meal before going tc
bed; but apart from this no person
can attain the perfect dream without
a special course of diet.
b. A Cochrane of George street
Manchester square who is an author
ity on the subject of dreams, which he
has studied for ten years. said recently
Il have discovered that no clear
dream is possible on the ordinary diet
No meat, or similarly heavy food, OF
anything containing alcohol must b,
taken if the right kind of dream is t.
come.
Il am a fruitarian myself and fruit
is the best kind of food for the perfect
dreamer, although anything very east
! ly dgestible will serve the purpose
Such a diet will enable people to ge
into real touch with the spirit world
and they will be able to recollect thei1
dreams on awakening.
Every night put under my bolster
a plain card and a pencil, and the in
slant awake l write down a summary
of what I dreamed. After breakfast
write it out fully. Thus I have rec
ord of my dreams for the past tel
years
4 have never had what may b'
termed prophetic dreams, but 1 believe
the night time of the body is the day
time of the soul. 1t is then that the
soul leaves the body and has expert
| ences in the spirit world which are
very interesting sometimes.
you may meet with dead friend:
and see their condition. l have seer
old friends, once very wealthy, who
are in queer conditions now on the 9th
err side. I have also had spirits come
to me in my dreams. They have mo-
been able to speak, but by signs ant
portents they have conveyed their de-
sires.
such visions and spiritual commu'
nications are possible to any one who
is, moderate in his diet, abstains from
alcoholic drinks, and is temperate il
all things. Clear dreams are the result
of a healthy mind in a we'll conditioned
body"

A big hunk of a man was ploddinl
along in the rain. His umbrella wa!
in keeping with his size and his rub
bered feet took no concern of puddles
Other people scurried past him in thu
stormy dusk, and nearly every umbrel
la bobbed UP to show a curious face
For the man was singing, His voic,
was not over loud but the well-carrieC
tune was penetrating and he was per
fectly regardless of time and place
And the song he sang for exact!
twelve and a half blocks was:
"For I'm to be queen of the May
mother, I'm to be queen of the May"
= 4 4 4
