Ereeina British Slaves.

The list OF August. 1851. was the
day on which the slaves of British
colonies were assigned TO what was
called on apprenticeship which was TO
prepare them for freedom. by the
terms OF the act all slaves became ap.
prentice laborers TO their masters I'm
two classes, one OF which would re.
Give its actual freedom in 1888. and
tho other In 1Si0. About 500, o00, 900
was appropriated to pay the masters
for the loss OF services based upon the
market price; 770.2S0 slaves we're af.
fected by this.

Avoid Round Shoulders.

Are you letting yourself sag a bit
at the shoulders? Don't, II you want
to keep either young or well. There Is
nothing so fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep n sharp
watch OH yourself to prevent it. Each
morning stand up against the lamb
of a door and see If you have begun
to sag, Also walk around your room
each day with n piece of broomstick
or short umbrella under your arm and
brought across the back. This keeps
the chest up and head well poised.
Deep.breathing exercises, whenever
you think of them, will help ward off
those round shoulders, also making n
practice to work with the chest up.
This last is the simplest OF all pre-.
ventives, for II 1t is always practIced
the rest will follow.

Overconhdence.

We can imagine with what scoffing
. the unterrifed Bryan Democracy in
; the West will learn the report that there
( was a meeting of Republicans in New
1Jersey last week, at which Governor
FORT was present, to open a campaign
against overconfidence in the party and
urge that there be no relaxation of effort
: to elect Judge TAFT until the last speech
is made in his behalf.
In 1895, alarmed by Mr.. BRYAN's as
sault upon the integrity of the nations
finances, the Republican voters, to a man
IT might be said, turned out and rejected
him. A second defeat, which was a
foregone conclusion, tended to make
him ridiculous as a candidate; and there
is no doubt that hosts of Republicans
his third appearance in the role
as very much Of a joke. Their inclina-
ton will be to drop out of the registra-
ton because their votes are not needed,
to let their neighbors elect Mr.. TAFT, or
even to depend upon the votes or absence
: of anti Bryan Democrats for a Repub-
lican victory.
This is the spirit which the New Jersey
leaders under the inspiration of Gov
ernor FORT intend to deal with. The
worst blunder in strategy is to despise
your enemy, to believe him incapable of
aggressive tactics, to assume that he will

Art In Dreaming.

Another art has come into the world
and France is the country to enrich the
nations with a new aid to pleasure; for
RAYMOND MEuNIER'S rules as to the art
OF dreaming pleasantly glance. rs other
arts of Gallo origin, toward tho salts
faction of the senses, 1t was IN a crude
and unscientiic age that the Prince of
Denmark feared what dreams might
come. To-day in Paris he might order
them as definitely us he could his soup
and not be disappointcd.
Thus does progress triumph over such
musty theories as those which held that
the p~leasantest sleep was the result of
the best physical and mental health and
taught that the dreams which may dis
turb that third Of life spent in slumber
would be either those resulting from the
force Of some external attractions or those
which carried on the mental processes of
the day or even a combination Of these
two causes, These antediluvian groupings
have been upset by the Investigations of
NJ. MEUNIER and the prize exemplar of
his practices, a French Marquis who
has never failed TO describe since his
thirteenth year bis dreams Of the night

New York's Old Buildings.

New York does not always cherish its
architectural beauties. There was no
more ornamental block in the city than
the row Of marble houses forming the
east side OF Fifth avenue between Fifty
seventh and ~Fifty-eighth streets. It Is
true that one or two OF the separate
houses had already gone into trade, but
they were not changed so much as to
interfere with the beauty Of the French
Renaissance facade that had so long
been a notably elegant and artistic con-
trast to the monotony Of the street.
Now mi of the houses has been 80 much
altered for the relentless business pur-
poses that the chara cter Of the block
is altogether lost. Thus a landmark
worthy Of the stately architectural
surroundings in which it stood will
disappear altogether.
1t is pardonable to wonder under. the
circumstances II the purposes Of business
might not have been served nearly as
well without the necessity Of such radi-
cal change to the eye. We are likely
to comment on the lack of reverence in
foreigners who allow historic or beauti-
full structures to be destroyed or spoiled
by the buildings about them. Yet it
is obvious that all the antiquities cannot
be allowed TO stand as they are, whether
it be London, Paris OIL Rome that comes
into consideration. The best that can
be done is to retain the most representa-
tive. Here we make little effort to pre-.
serve any Of our noted buildings, proba-
bly, in the opinion that none Of them is
rare enough or old enough or beautiful
enough to make much difference. Yet it
would be a comfort to feel that not all
of the older structures that add beauty
or distinction to the city's show streets
are inevitably to disappear. Some Of
the old Grecian terrace in Lafayette
street has been preserved to show an
interesting specimen of a former archi-
teotural period; yet so far as we know
nothing has been done to insure the
existence Of the Lenox Library, which
fixed the fame Of one of this country's
architects,

others who are sure they can do as well as he. and
in 'Fates q Fiddler Mr.. Edwin George Pinkham

your opinion Of the novel as expressed In the re-
mainder Of the review. but we wish to correct the
impression which the part quoted conveys to the
casual reader. The fact Is that Mr.. Pinkham was
at work on his novel before the publication Of Mr..

before. He now possesses q tabulated
record OF nineteen hundred and forty
five authentic dreams. We hope for the
sake of the new art that they were writ
ten before breakfast or at least previous
to the dejeuner d la ~fourchette. Many
Of these dreams were exactly Of the kind
he had arranged in advance by what
he calls a process of suggestion.
The simplicity Of this titled gentle
mans method shows how easily his art
of dreaming may be conquered. He
had spent a summer holiday on a beau
tiful estate surrounded by friends he
loved. 1t was impossible for him to
transport the chateau and its occupants
back to Paris; he had planned to have
the delight Of dreaming of the country,
however; so he used during his sojourn
there a rare and costly perfume. When
he had returned to Paris it needed no moro
than a few drops Of this same scent on
his pillow to assure him dreams Of the
delights he had left behind him. He
could renew all his pleasures In sleep
by some equally simple device. The
Marquis has in this particular instance
the justification Of the close connection
between odors and mental conceptions
long familiar to psychologists to add
weight to his testimony.
Other experiments related by NJ. MEU-
NIER in the account Of his Investigations
go further than the experiences Of the
French nobleman. One who would
dream Of church bells need not move to
certain streets In New York to find con-
slant qualification of that wish. Pieces
Of metal struck together will produce
that harmonious result. A drop Of
water on the brow has been known to
make a sleeper live again In dreams
through hours passed in a warm climate.
A variety Of such cases Is described to
give weight to the theory of MEUNIER
that sleepers may by external influences
make themselves dream as they desire
to. In spite Of his confidence in his
theory there are too many with their
own experiences 70 be convinced readily.
Would these external attempts always
produce the effect intended? Does not
the experience Of too many sleepers show
that dissgreeable incidents in daily life
will inevitably return In dreamsf Tho
9 French art Of dreaming q n
wishes may be a pleasing fancy. yet It's
claims have not been proved to the salts
faction Of the sceptical. And il these
new theories are true, what In the world
is to become Of the dream books9 Surely
their day will be at an end when every
man can dream what he wants.

Spanish War Veterans.

The recent extraordinary prevalence
of Spanish War Veterans" in all parts
of the country, notably in Washington,
suggests the query: What is a var vet
eran? In view of the material of which
many of these organizations are composed
we confess u inability to answer the
question. Perhaps, however, some of
the members themselves can help us to
a definition.
Evidently the ancient idea that a vet
eran is a person who has smelled powder
In actual combat and has served through
arduous campaigns is no longer tenable.
We see men by the thousand joining
the various camps" who never left this
country at all. They spent a few months,
three or four at most, in camps of in
struction, to which they ~journeyed in
sleeping cars and from which they re-
turned to their various homes by sim
liar conveyances. The nearest Of these
camps was in southern Florida, at least
two hundred miles from Santiago. The
others were scattered through States
further north Georgia, South Carolina,
Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky, even
Virginia, the District Of Columbia, Mary
land and Pennsylvania, OF the 300, 900
men in round numbers who volunteered
and were accepted for the so-called
Spanish war, certainly not 5000 actually
embarked for Cuba and saw service
there. Hostilities began the last week
in June and ended by July 10. The
hoot onI L,,rlan - tLa.n L1s,;E4;1z -u..
borne by the regulars, who did most of
the fighting, suffered nearly all the
casualties and haven't talked about it
since. Some Of the volunteers who went
TO Cuba, such as the District Of Column
bia militia, didn't land until the fighting
was yer. Others were there but didn't
fight. A few regiments were on hand
and behaved with g%allantry. But after
all, the war, beginning with the en-
barkation of the Shafter expedition and
ending with the disbandment Of the
emergency troops in October, didn't
last six months, while the actual fighting
didn't last three weeks.
Now Spanish War Veterans" are
%springing up in all directions. There
are camps" Dewey Camp and Miles
Camp, for example. Then these are
grouped in divisions and departments,
with their respective officers over them,
and finally We have the Commander in
Chief, with all his pomp and ceremony.
OF course the hostilities in the Philip
pines are a more serious matter. These
have lasted nearly ten years, with every
prospect Of continuing indefinitely, but
they have been more in the nature of
impromptu skirmishing than of civilized
warfare and latterly have been O n
Quoted almost exclusively by the o n
stabulary. AS for tho Porto Rico expe-
diton, that was a mere picnic.
At all events 1t is time for the experts
