DREAM SENSATIONS.
Causes Of Some of the Feelings We Ex

Causes of Some of the Feelings We Ex-
Periencs In Sleep.
Some Of our common dreams seem
to be directly traceable. Slipping
down OF the blankets is followed By
dreams OF arctic relief expeditions OF
falling into snowdrifts. A gas distend
ed stomach. pushing up the diaphragm
and COMPRISING the lungs, produces
dreams OF something sitting on your
chest" or dramatic struggles against
other forms OF suffocatlon.
The common single dream. that OF
falling. falling. falling from n great
height. 10 wake with a gasp Of relief
just as you are about to strike and be
dashed to pieces. is probably due "a
the general muscular relaxation ant
falling OF the head. arms and limbs
which accompanies settling down tc
sleep. Careful studies have shown tina
1t almost invariably occurs during III,
first forty-five seconds Of sleep. A slip
q change OF position OF 4 sixteenth Of
an inch, is enough TO suggest the ides
OF falling TO the brain. 1t does the
rest" and provides out OF its swarmina
storehouSe OF images the precipices
flights OF stairs. giddy mastheads and
other scenic effects. II the impression
is not vivid enough TO wake you. YOU
strike bottom with q delicious sen.
saton Of restful warmth and repost
just such as your tired body is getting
from its 'downy couch"
The next common dream. which W,
have all had scores OF times and which
as Dickens quantity said. he was sur,
even Queen Victoria. with all her roya
wardrobes full Of clothes. must hav,
also had. that OF suddenly finding YOUR
self in public half dressed. seems nj
most equally tracea bic.
The dream, and we can all recall IL
notifying vividness. IS usually asso
ciated with insufficient or displaced
bedclothes. This gives our drows-
brain cortex the idea that we haven
sufficient clothes on. Our arms an,
shoulders being completely covered b
the close fitting upper half OF tn
nightGown. the impression OF unprc
tectedneSs comes most wildly fror
our unincased lower limbs. Our we
trained modesty takes furious frigh-

PATRICK HENRY.
His Pale Face and Glaring Eyes Dur
ing His Great Ovation.

The most overwhelming Of Patrick
Henry's great Orations is that which
he pronounced before the convention
which met in ST. Johns church at
Richmond March 23. 1915. Already the
mutterings OF war were so distinct
mat Henry, instead Of cOncealing the
facts, declared that war was even then
on foot.
I'VE must hghtr' he said. An appeal
10 arms and 10 the God Of hosts is all
that is left u.s.
Curiously enough. even OF this ora
ton there is no authentic record. Ger
tain sentences. certain stirring phrases.
were remembered by many who were
there. but the speech as we have II IS
almost surely n restoration by William
Writ, himself an eloquent and brilliant
orator. He supplied the gaps in what
his informantS repeated 10 him. piec-
ing out their recolectionS with his
own vivid fancy. But the spirit OF
Henry flames all through It. and 10
Henry may be safely ascribed such
burning sentences as these:
Il have but one lamp by which nv
feet are guided. and that is the lamp
OF experience. l know Of no way OF
Judging the future but by the past"
Three millions OF people armed in
the holy cause OF liberty and in such
country as that which We possess are

TO be purchased At the price Of chains
and slavery? Forbid IT, Almighty Godl
l know not what course others NAV
take. but. as for me. give me liberty or
give me DEATH"

very first rank. the physical impress

nvering this last great speech-a de-

present at the time II tells how.
when Henry rose and claimed the floor.
there was an "unearthly fire burning
In his eyes. He commenced somewhat
calmly. but his smothered excitement
began more and more TO play upon his
features and thrill In the tones OF his
voice The tendons OF his neck stood
out white and rigid like whipcords.
Finally his pale face and giarIng eyes
became terrible TO look upon" The
witness OF the scene who gave this
vivid picture said that he himself "felt
sick with excitement" When the ora
tor had finished his speech ct seemed
as II word from him would have
led to any wild explosion Of violence.

The Venus De Milo.

II is questionable whether the real
Greek woman Of that immortal epoch
when sculpture meant something more
than decorative end TO an architectu.
raj means possessed the chaste lowell
ness accredited to her IN the chiseled
remnants left 10 us. 1t has ever been
the whim OF artists 10 work away from
the physical facts Of their models TO-
ward the ideals OF their fancy. The
sculptor is usually n proudly careless
historian and but 4 poor reporter. All
Greek sculpture doubtless Is q highly
glorihed record Of true Greek eth
nology; but. granting such 4 woman
as, say, the Venus de Milo did exist
IN all her bodily and facial perfection.
she would meet with but cold reception
at the hands OF our critics OF femin!ni-
II today. Her modern women asso-
ciates would, I am certain. adjudge the
classic lady 4 trump. Ideals change
with the centuries II nature does not.

mere boy when he began his work.
Within few days Of the time he was
fifteen and n half years old his name
was on the records OF an annual con-
ference as travelling preacher-the
youngest candidate ever received In
the Methodist Episcopal church. He
was sent 10 the Barre circuit in Yer
mont. As he mounted his horse TO set
out for his appointed field Of labor. a
Jaunt OF more than 200 miles, his IN
Gle. Methodist Of much shrewdness
and humo-. gave him a parting ad-
dress which he never forgot and to
which he often referred In later years.
Never pretend that you know much.
George" said he. looking up at the
youthful rider from under his shaggy
eyebrows. ''for II you do so pretend
the people will soon find out that you
are sadly mistaken. but neither" he
added after n moments pause. need
