II dreaming is the result OF bad dlges-
ton, the president Of the United States
must be blessed with a perfect system OF
interior assimilation, for in reply to a
question a few days ago he told visitor
that not since he was a child could ne
remember having had a dream while
asleep The last two VI rds are quoted
because. as the Washington Herald AYERS,
the president used them. Mr. Roosevelt
told his visitor, the Herald says. that he
frequently had wondered why his rest az
night was not disturbed by dreams pleas
ant or otherwise, as was the experience OF
so many other persons OF normal habits.
but that he could not recall single in
stance since he emerged from adolescence
when his slunber was haunted by those
strange operations of the mind called
dreams. He reckoned his immunity was
due to a habit he had acquired after de-
termlned effort Of throwing all dull care
away as soon as he went TO bed. It mat
tiers not how crowded have been his walk
ing hours. when he has finished with the
days work and drowsiness creeps upon his
senses, he gives himself up absolutely to
sleep. lie has acquired the faculty Ma
poleon had OF completely shutting of the
currents OF thought, and in jiffy after he
hits the bed he is sound asleep, and for
an unbroken stretch OF eight hours. in
normal circumstances. his mind is as in
active as n he were dead. Frequently. OF
course, he does not sleep eight hours, but
this occurs only when the press of public
business or other engagements keep him
up beyond his usual hour Of retirement or
necessitate his rising at an earlier hour
than usual. Even then he does not have
to be called. but wakes promptly at the
time set. He says that he has never had
to use an alarm clock, and seldom has he
had to be called The visitor says that
the president Is unable to understand why
everybody normally constituted cannot reg
ulate sleep in this way.

Among the rarest of postage stamps are
the homeiy confederate issues used on let
ters transported through the south In the
early days of the civil war, Nearly every
one of them is unpleasing to the eye, yet
they are treasured specimens in the col
lections of those fortunate enough to pos
sess them.
At the beginning of the war, relates the
Washington Post, no regular confederate
stamps were on hand and the postmasters
were authorized to receive money in pay
ment for the postage on letters to be for
warded. Small change was scarce and In
order to facilitate matters postmasters Is
sued local stamps of their own design and
sold them to patrons number at time
These stamps could thereafter be pre-
sented to the postnaaster in payment Of
postage.
Confederate provisional stamps and en-
velopes include IA different varieties and
the majority are held at a very high pre-
MUM. OF many varieties not more than
one specimen is known although 1t Is not
at all improbable that other specimens Of
some of these rarties are now resting on
old wartime letters slowed away and for
gotten.
So scarce are stamps and 80 rarely do
they come up for sale that the standard
catalogues do not mention the prices at
which they are held. When specimen
does come to light 1t usually changes hands
at a private sale and thus not even expert
collectors are always aware OF the APP
proximate value of rare issues.

The models of the large bronze doors
which the Washington sculptor, Louis
Amateis, was authorized to design for the
main entrance to the capitol, need but a
few finishing touches before they will be
ready to be cast in bronze, reports the
Washington Post. The bronze doors at the
east entrance of the capitol represent the
discovery of America, and those at the
senate and house entrances the American
revolution and ,he forming Of the nation
The new doors will tell the story in bronze
of the intellectual and physical progress OF
the country, the apotheosis of America.
The transom panel shows the figure of
America seated in a chariot drawn by
lions, typical of strength, and led by a
child, signifying the superiority OF intel
lectual over brute force. On this panel, to
the sides of the chariot, are figures repre-
senting learning, architecture, literature,
painting, music, sculpture, agriculture,
mining commerce and industry.
The four panels on one side of the door
stand for Jurisprudence, science, the fine
arts and mining. and those on the other
side for agriculture. iron and electricity,
engineering and naval architecture and
commerce. The Jurisprudence panel por-
trays a meeting of the first supreme court,
presided over by Chief Justice John Mar

In the science panel is a group of the

Hipparchus the first astronomer down to
Darwin. Fine arts are represented by
Homer, Shakespeare, Goethe, Hugo, Bee

panel shows a scene in a mine and the
agricultural panel a harvest scene.
Men building a railroad occupy the panel
on engineering, while the iron and cleo
