Whereas, the United States reclamation

No Surprises in Dreams.
(To be continued.)

No one is ever surprised in dream.
A man dreaming is at one moment
bathing in the sea and ct the next mo-
ment soaring in a balloon; but the sud-
den and inexplicablc change does not
surprise him. Nor is lie surprised to
meet in the flesh friends long dead;
nor is he surprised to find himself do
ing deeds that really are beyond him,
as winning the love of notable beau
ties, or knocking out champion heavy.

be astonishing; but this accident would

MEN WHO LIVE ON STILTS.
Turpentine Gatl1crers and Sheep
Herders Of Par<; of France.

H4rUefS CT Cl II
The people live on sixteen foot
stilts in the remarkable turpentine
growing country Of France. They
don these stills after breakfast. They
do not remove them again till 1t IS
time for bed.
There are two reasons for the
wearing of stills in the turpentine
country. One is the turpentine gath
erine The other is the herding or
the great focks.
The turpentine comes from the
maritime pine. This tree is tapped
a skingle is inserted, and from the
shingle is hung a tiny bucket, into
which the turpentine drips. Tne
tapping process is like that used on
the American sugar maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low,
but with each years passage the in
cision is made higher up, SO that 1t
is not long before most of the trees
are tapped twenty or thirty feet from
the ground.
Hence the huge stills OF the WORK
men. On these stills they traverse
the fiat country, covering five or ST.
yards with each stride, and quickly
and easily collect the turpentine that
overfows the little buckets hanging
high up in the trees:
It is for herding also that the stilts
are useful. The country is very fiat,
and the herdsman, unless ne con-
tinualiy climbed a tree, would be un-
able to keep all the members OF MS
huge flock in sight. But, stridlng
about Oh his stills, he commands a
wide prospect; he is always, as Ii
were, upon q hill.
The Silt wearers carry hlteen
foot staff with a round, fiat top ike
dinner pate. When it is luich
time, or when they are tired they
plant upright undef them the stan
and sit down on its round, fiat top
Then in comfort seated so dlzzliy
high, they eat and rest and chatter

The "Thunderer' Speaks Out.

The London Times IS not general
1y accounted as a temperance jour-
nal. vet in a recent article it says:
1.-THE whole question really turns
upon the consciousness that alcoholic
drinks satisfy some kind of tempor-
ary want, or produce some tempor-
ary comfort or exhiiNration. 1t may
be stated as an opinion on which
most, if not all psychologists are
agreed, that alcohol contributes
nothing to the permanent powers or
the healthy organism, whether physl-
cal or intellectual. No man. 1t IS
said, is the stronger for taking 1t,
and no man is the wiser. The ex-
perience of insurance Offices seems to
palce it beyond doubt, that even the
moderate regular use of alcohol. in
any form, is contributory to the
shortening of life. When these
views come to be fairly balanced
against temporary qualification OF
the palate, or temporary stimulation
of the brain, they will be likely to
lead. not to a. single wave of sobriety,
but to gradual change IN the habits
of the more intelligent portion OF
mankind.
