stevenson and Dreams.

Robert Louis Stevenson owed much
Of his inspiration to dreams, In one
passage he attributed some Of his fin
est work to the brownies" who ten
anted his brain during moments of
uneonsclousness. "rhe Strange Case
Of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" owes its
origin to a dream. II had long been
trying TO write story on this sub
ject," writes Stevenson, ito find a
body, vehicle, for that strong sense
of mans double being which must at
times come In upon and overwhelm
the mind Of every thinking creature.
For two days | went about racking
my brains for plot of any sort
and on the second night l dreamed
the scene at the window and a scene
afterward split In two, in which Hyde,
pursued for some crime, took the pow
der and underwent the change In the
presence of his pursuers. All the rest
was made awake and consciously, al
though l think can trace in much of
1t the manner Of my brownies"

Odd Names In China.

Chinese children are endowed with
strange Christian names, Their girls,
for instance, are not called Mabel,
Jenny or Matilda. but Cloudy Moon,
Celestial Happiness, Spring Peach or
Caslet of Perfumes. Their boys get
less attractive names, being made for
work and wisdom rather than pleas
ure and dancing. Thus we find little
two-year.old Practical Industry; three
year-old. Ancestral knowledge; four
year-old. Complete Virtue; fye-year-
old Discreet yalor. TO their slaves
they give stlll another set of names.
Not For Me, Joy to Serve, Your Hap
plness and Humble Devotion may be
taken as typical examples.
