The building trades. which for three

During the winter months ships bat
tie in vain against the elements and
activity ceases. Russia has lost Port
Arthur, upon which she rested her
commercial hopes. and on every hand
bayonets bristle to keep her from the
year-open sea. The trans-Alaskan-
Siberian railway may yet give her a
front place among the commercial
nations; 1t may people the now half
deserted land that cost her so dearly
in the recent war and it may fill her
with the strength that not so long in
the future-when civic honesty is hers
and her people freed and fired with
loyalty and love of couatry-will enable
her once more to hurl defiance at the
Island Empire.

may use the expression. But there are
other dreams which come when in pro-
found siumber the body is apparently
insensible to all outside impressions
which seem TO be due entirely to the
reflections of memory wandering
through the picture galleries of her
home. Such dreams are often consid
cred as an argument for pre-existenee
or an evidence of the prophetic power

are SO intense that upon awakening

appears as reality before our open

thing belonging TO our life, but how
;-and when we cannot tell. Such ex-
periences give rise to the thought OF
pre-existence- A. gentleman we'll
known TO the writer told him one
summer day of a strange experience he
had just had. The day in the city had
been. extremely hot and oppressive.
He had gone to his home. in. which
only himself and one servant remained.
He entered his cool library, and re-
moving much of his outside clothing
threw himself into a reclining chair
before an open, shaded windoy.. In
stantly the scene was changed. He
stood upon the .ramparts OF great
walled city, dresset in suit OF mail.

attack upon the city by a horde Of
ne ked savages who. We're about 70 scale

women and children were seeking safe
ty in the city's stronsholds. His men
were falling on all sides. while the
plain; beyond the city was crowded
with the. savages. who were already
swarning over the walls slaughterins
all in their way.
!. AS he was about to receive his death
wound from a spear in the hand of
chief of the Swazea the scene as sud-
denly changed to his cpol, quiet IL
braSy. The clock on the mantel told
him that less than fve minutes had
been occupied by the experience which
had seemed to extend over day and
night In discussing the matter with
him he remembered that as a very
young child he had seen such picture
in a history of the world his fathers
library contained. a picture which had
for him a peculiar fascination.
He had simply fallen asleep from
exhaustion as soon as he was settled
in his easy chair. and memory. in a
dream, showed him the picture his
young boyhood knew.
Such dreams may act upon-the motor
eenters with no conscious volition in d
reflex manner producing action.
