No Surprises In Dreams.

No one is ever surprised in dream.
A man dreaming is at one moment
bathing in the sea and at the next mo-
ment soaring in a balloon, but the sud-
den and inexplicable change does not
surprise him, nor is he surprised to
meet in the flesh friends long dead, nor
Is he surprised to find himself doing
deeds that really are beyond him. The
reason is that dreamers have no mem
Org. In real life to be pursued through
the streets by lion would be astonish-
ing, but this accident would be accept
ed in dream as horrible, but quite
commonplace, the memory not being
there to say that it it Is unheard Of for
lions to pursue one in cities. In the
same way, in dreams, men are not sur
prised to find themselves ballooning be-
cause they don't remember that they
were never up in balloon before, and
they are not surprised to find them
selves conversing with dead people be-
cause they don't remember that these
people are dead.-New York Press.

evening before his dissolution, with an
icy GOODNESS taking possession of him
and the death rattle beginning to be

WILL PROBABLY BECOME A LAW.

The senate has passed the bill
increasing the salaries of su-
preme court judges to $1,000,
and of district judges to 5000,
with the provision that in coun-
ties of more than 100000 popu-
lation the county shall pay $1,000
additional annually to each Judge.
Senator Laybourn secured un-
animous consent to make an
amendment, putting the St. Louis
county judges under the same
provision as those in the Twin
Cities, stating that the judges OF
his county had as much work to
do as those in st. Paul and Mime
apolis, if not more. There was
no objection to the amendment,
and the bill passed the senate by
a vote of 80 to FL. st. Louis
county in now paying it's judges
$1,000 each, in addition to the
$4,000 paid by the state, so while
this bill will raise their salaries
$1,000 each, it will reduce the
amount of it paid by the county
to $500 each. Senators Sageng,
@. A. Johnson and Canestorp
spoke against the bill. Sageng
thought the legislature should
not loosen the purse strings,
Johnson thought it was too great
a raise, and Canestorp said the
people did not want the increase.
1t is not apparent that there
is any serious opposition to the
bill in the house, and it is prob.
able that the measure will pass
the house and become a law
within the next ten days. The
bill is a meritorious one, and is
especially so relative to the con-
ditions which prevail in this (the

A mean solar day is the average or
mean of all the apparent solar days in
a year. Mean solar time is that shown
by a we'll regulated clock or watch,
while apparent solar time Is that

The difference between the two at any
time is the equation Of time and may
amount to sixteen minutes and TWEEN

begins at noon and the civil day at the

The modern boot lace Is anything but
a luxury. It is nearly always just too
long or little too short, and, although
made fat, it soon becomes curled with
little wear. In the old days laces
were made of calfskin, and nearly ev-
cry farmer was an expert. He would
cut disk Of leather three or four
inches in diameter, stick the point of
sharp knife blade In a board, place
the thumb nail the thickness Of match
from it and quickly draw the string
through the opening, the perimeter be-
ing reduced the thickness Of q match
at every measure Of the circumfer-
enee. Then the square string was
rolled between the sole Of the shoe
and the floor till perfectly round, after
which. it was creased with tallow.
Such a lace would last for months.
Round laces are now made Of fiber,
but their shine soon wears of, giving
them a much worn appearance.
