Little Emma was intensely inter-
ested In her big sisters engagement.
She had any number of preconceived
ideas Of what lovers talked about be.

one afternoon her sisters fiance ar
rived to make a call she followed the

and took up position directly In

When Do We Dream?

There has been much discussion as
to whether one dreams only on falling
to sleep and during the act of waking
any time during sleep, While not
definitely determined as yet, the evil
dence seems to be rather in favor OF
the view that one may dream at any
time during the night. or the whole
night through. Dreaming is common
to perfectly healthy persons, and in
itself is no evidence of disorder.-Dr.
Frederick Peterson, in Harper's Maya

GIFTMAkERs IN CONTEST.
Rockefeller and Carnegie Seem to Vie
with Each Other.

New York.-What promises to be a
highly interesting and, from the pub
lies point Of view, highly profitable
"war" between the country's two most
prominent multimillionaires is that ap-
parently being waged between Car
negie and Rockefeller for leadership
in the field of philanthropy.
Although there is no avowed rival
ry, it was considered noteworthy that
directly following the announcement
of Mr.. Rockefeller's gift Of $4,000, 900
to the Institute for Medical Research,
which bears his name. Mr.. Carnegie
came to bat with 100000 addition
to the endowment of the Carnegie in.
stitution at Washington.
According to records so far as they
have been made public the great steel
master has given away $136, ,339,950 to
the various objects Of his beneficence,
while the oil king has parted with
S106,355,000 for philanthropic pur.
poses. This leaves Mr.. Carnegie with
a lead of a trihing $29.9S4,s5O With
the resources of Mr.. Rockefeller, how.
ever, this handicap Is by no means in.
superable, as indicated by his single
gift Of 100000 to the general edu.

EGGS IN A NEW STYLE.
Australian Devises Unique Method tc
Preserve Hen Product.

Ottawa, Ont.-Australians have de-
vised scheme to turn fresh-laid eggs
to powder for preserving and shipping
purposes.
In a recent report the trade COM
missioner for Canada in Australia
makes special reference to a process
for desiccating eggs now being carried
out there. for which high claims are
made. and which the commissioner
thus describes:
Desiccated eggs are not substitutes
for eggs, but newly laid eggs and are
treated by process by which only
the shell and water contents of the
egg are removed. and the whole sub
stance of the egg, yolk and albumen,
converted into powder.
1t is claimed to have been proved
that this powder will keep for years,
and only requires the addition of milk
or water. when the powdered eggs will
reconstitute and be ready for use for
any purpose just the same as a newly
laid egg. The powder is rich and at
tractive looking, and is reported by
the government analysts of New South
Wales and Victoria to contain no
chemical preservative. No part of
the egg except the water has been re.
moved in the process.

The Social Sense.

An enthusiastic teacher in the slum
distrc. Of a large city once gathered
her flock and led them to vacant lot,
where she proposed they should create
their own playground. The idea was
received with wild enthusiasm, and
the youngsters fell to work with a will
removing stones and debris. In the
midst of the excitement a large boy
was needed to move a particularly OBJ.
stinate stone.
Smith, Smith," called the teacher
to one of her star pupils, come and
help us"
The boy came with seeming reluct-
ance. and having removed the stone,
drew the teacher aside.
Say, teacher" he begged, please
don't call me Smith,"
''Why, what am l to call you?" she
asked in astonishment.
"Schmitty, please, teacher. You see
I'm Smith in society; but, here, I'm
Schmit.y on the dump"

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in lrishman's Mind A.
ter the Accident.

Railroad clain-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: Every time l settle a
claim with one of these hard-headed
rural residents who wants the rail
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets a sheep
killed. l think of this story, illustra-
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one Of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroad?' The nearest
railroad is three miles away he
learned. Well, WE'LL he commented.
I knew 1t hit us pretty hard, but l
didn't suppose 1t knocked us three
miles from the track"

Aonors for the Fat Man.

TheOdosia Garrison, who has writ
tea enough poems to girdle the globe,
is called by her friends, the Christ
mas poetess," because nearly every
magazine in New York publishes
something of hers in it's Christmas
number.
Mrs. Garrison is a surprise to per.
sons who, having read her poems,
meet her the first time. In verse she
expresses emotion, sentiment, pic
turesque imagination, and has a
thrilling, vibrant touch that stirs to
tears. In real life she twaugs a merry
Tyre. and seems naught but the en-
bodiment of wild, rollicking Irish wit
and humor.
On a recent voyage to Bermuda,
''Dosia,' as she is called. had her first
taste of seasickness. She met it with
incredulity and remonstrance at first,
but finally succumbed and fled to her
stateroom. There the stewardess
found her prone and bewildered
Can l do anything for you?" asked
the matron.
"Oh. yes,' gasped Dosia, bring me
some poison, quick!"
After a time she struggled out on
deck, to find the ship tossing horribly,
in Freely" storm. Telling her friends
of it afterward, she said:
II hunted up the captain and asked
him what he thought about it. He said:
If we have good luck the boat may
hold together a few hours longer

Stuff Dreams Are Made OF.

Some of our common dreams seem
to be directly traceable. Slipping down
of the blankets is followed by dreams
of Arctic relief exhibitions or falling
into snowdrifts. A gas,distended stom-
ach, pushing up the diaphragm and
compressing the lungs. produces
dreams OF something sitting on your
chest" or dramatic struggles against
other forms of suffocation.
The common single dream-that Of
falling, falling from a great height
to wake with gasp of relief just as
you are about to be dashed to pieces.
is probably due to the general muscu-
lar relaxation and falling of the head,
arms and limbs which accompanies
settling down to sleep. Careful studies
have shown that it almost invariably
occurs during the first As seconds of
sleep.
A sleep. change OF position of a
sixteenth of an inch, is enough to sug-
gest the idea of falling to the brain. 1t

THE ORIGIN OF PROFANITY.
linguistieaIIy II 10 Primarily Due to ,
Desire for Emphasis.

One proposition there Is which
needs to be stated emphatically at thi.
point. writes Prof. Thomas X. Louns
bury. in Harper's Words anS phrases
which are amply sufficient for the un
derstanding are often altogether made
quate for the expression OF the feel
ings. The result of this mental dissat
is<action with the communication OF
mere knowledge is most conspicuous
ly illustrated in the wide prevalence
OF profanity Into the discussion of this
practice its moral and religious as
pect does not enter at all. 1t is pure
ly from the linguistic side that 1t Is
here to be considered. So looked at
its existence and the extent of the in
dulgence in 1t bear out the truth OF
the principle just announced. What
ever intellectual justification there
may be for profanity is based upon the
fact that men are aiming to state
strongly what they feel strongly. The
habit Is, in consequence, subject to the
general law governing intensives.
To very great extent the practice
of swearing is specially characteristic
of rude and imperfect civilization.
With the advance of culture profanity
declines. 1t declines not so much be-
cause men become peculiarly sensitive
to its viciousness. but they do to its
1neffectiveness. The growth of refine
ment both in the individual and in
the community tends more to its dis
use than all the exhortations of NOR
alists or the rebukes of divines. Much
must always be allowed in the case of
particular persons for the influence of
early training and association. Ex-
ceptions are, therefore, too numerous
to lay down any positive rule; still, it
is safe to say in general that mans
intellectual development is largely de-
termined by the extent of his indulg-
ence in profanity. No one, indeed,
doubts its wide prevalence at the pres
ent time. But compared to the prac-
tice of the past, it has been steadily,
even if slowly, diminishing for cen.
turies This does not prove that men
are better morally or intellectually
than they were. 1t does show, however,
that there exists now higher aver
age of cultivation, which renders the
habit distasteful to increasingly large
numbers.
