No Morals In pream,aad.

If. as many writer's have suggested.
1t is the soul itself that guides the i'm
agery OF dreams. how are we to ex-
plain the fact that in this chaos of
ideas and feelings there is so little dis
tinction between right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears Of blood
were they as real as they seem to be.
AS Professor Hoffman has said, 1.-THE
familiar check of waking hours, I
must not do II because 1t would be un-
just or unkind,' never once seems to
arrest US in the satisfaction of any
whim which may blow about our way
ward fgpcies."
From all OF which we must conclude
that the dream realm is world that is
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
and that, though 1t may be true that a
troubled conscience may produce or
affect our dreams. the dreams them.
selves are never burdened with q con-
science.-Bohemian Magazine.

Etheromares.

They resembled balls from a Chris
mas tree-tiny glass balls, bright red,
yellow, green, blue, filled with few
drops of some clear liquid.
"They are ether balls,' said the psy-
biologist. They are composed of gel
atine, like the capsuloids you swallow
for indigestion, and inside them is just
enough ether to make you happy with
out putting you to sleep.
"Etheromania continues to increase,
and etheromanes keep devising novel
ways Of taking the baneful narcotic.
The. ether ball is new and popular
way.
A group of etheromanes, lying to-
gether on silk divans, break under one
another's nostrils these bright balls.
The sweet, subtle fumes Of the ether
are inhaled, and the ether drunkards
dream their strange ether dreams.
Il cure many Of them by means of
hypnotism. Just now, at the New
Year, the season of good resolutions
and reforms, shall be unusually sue
cessful in my cures"

ONCE A MORTAL SIN
HOW OUR ANCESTORS DlscouR.
AGED PERJURY.
Fearful Punishments Threatened
Failed to Deter Sinful Men from
the Crime-Some Quaint
Folklore Oaths.

During one Of the occasional out.
groupings of pure thought with which
the recent Ruef trial in Judge Ca
baniss' court In San Francisco was il
Eliminated, it was stated by distin-
guished prosecutor that perjury has
become the greatest crime of the age"
Perhaps the trouble is that perjury
does not entail such dire calamities
nowadays as it once did. Delying into
the subject with the spur of curiosity,
we learn that two or three centuries
ago it cost something to swear falsely.
Then it was mortal sin rather than
simple crime, and some of the domestic
troubles which followed were a curse
running to the seventh generation,
death from lingering disease within
II months, or being turned into
stone, swallowed up by the earth and
ever afterward crawling about as
vampire.
Those punishments which deferred,
If one believed them. AS matter of
fact, few did, and people committed
perjury as merrily in the good old
seventeenth century as in the TWEEN.

spoke the truth for practical moral
reasons and the immoral man lied for
immoral reasons
