butchered a lot of shade trees,

Message from Mars is a typical
egotist. He believes that many must
toll that a few may enjoy and of
course Includes himself among the
latter favored ones. His fad IS as
tronomy and especially the study of
the planet Mars. His sweet heart,
tired of his egotism, breaks her en-
gagement and leaves him reading an
ESSAY on Mars, when suddenly a
messenger comes to him from that
planet with the ask of reforming the
most perfect egotist on earth. The
messenger leads Parker willy nilly
out into the snowy street, and brings
him face to face with suffering hui
manity, tells him Of the loss of his
fortune and Parker becomes tramp
at last, realizing what heartless
creature he has been, and when he
finally extends a helping hand to a

gers task has been fulfilled. ga

DIET REGULATES DREAMS
THE RULES FOR PLEASANT
VISIONS.
Alcohol and Meat Must Be Barred
If Sleeper Is to Avoid Trou-
blesome Thoughts.

London, Jan. 20.-A new and in
teresting point in 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, or
distorted nature cit is not only nee
essary 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
nightmare, due i'll the great majority
of cases, to heavy meal before 60.
ing. to 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 au-
thority on the subject of dreams,
which he has studied for ten years,
said yesterday:
~ have discovered that no clear
dream is possible on the ordinary
food. No meat, or similarly heavy
food, or anything containing alcohol
must be taken if the right kind of
dream is to come.
81 am a fruitarian myself, and
fruit is the best kind of food for the
perfect dreamer, although anything
very easily digestible will serve the
purpose. Such diet will enable
people to get into real touch with the
spirit world, and they will be able to
recollect their dreams on awakening.
Every night I put under my boil
ster a plain card and pencil, and
the instant I awake I write down
summary of what / dreamed. After
breakfast I write it out fully. Thus
I have record Of my dreams for the
past ten years.
II have never had what may be
termed prophetic dreams, but I be-
lieve the night time of the body is
the day time Of the soul. Tt is then
that the soul leaves the body and has
experiences in the spirit world which
are very interesting sometimes.
''You may meet with dead friends
and see their condition. have seen
old friends, once very wealthy, who
are in queer conditions now on the
other side. / have also had spirits
come to me in my dreams. They
have not been able to speak, but by
signs and portents they have convey
ed their desires.
"Such visions and spiritual COM
munications are possible to any one
who is moderate in his diet, abstains
from alcoholic drinks, and is tenn
perate in all things. Clear dreams
are the result of healthy mind in a
well conditioned body"
