Inherited Dreams.

A medical scientist claims that many
dreams are really hereditary-that is
to say, they come down to us from an
cestors. Many persons have a dream
which they dream over and over
again. This and some others that are
frequent, according to the authority
referred to, are inherited. The doctor
observed, for instance, that a child Of
six years after an attack Of typhoid
fever saw in its slumber a figure clad
in black, which advanced to the foot
Of the bed and fixed upon him its
shining eyes. 1t was found that the
father Of the child had frequently
dreamed that dream, although he had
never mentioned It to his child. The
grandfather dreamed the same dream,
although he had told no one about 1t.
Evidently there Is more than our phi
losophy can fathom in "the stun that
dreams are made of"

LIP BUTTONS.
Queer Ornaments Worn by Natives Of
Northern Alaska.

Queer Ornaments Worn by Natives Of
Northern Alaska.
Perhaps the most interesting ,archae-
illogical discovery made on the north
coast Of Alaska has a relation to the
present methods of personal decora-
t1on now used by the natives of Alas
ka, the most significant feature Of
which is the wearing of lip buttons, or
labrets, by the men,
The present custom Is that when
boy Is fourteen or sixteen years of age
holes are pierced In his lower lip. one
below each corner of the mouth. A
small wooden plug is at first inserted
to keep the hole from growing to-
gether. and month by month bigger
and bigger plug is used, till finally the
openings are half an inch In diameter.
At this point the young man begins
to wear stone or ivory plugs. These
ornaments are put In from the inside
ordinarily as one might insert but
ton into shirt front. Usually the two
buttons worn are each of different
sort. while sometimes only one Of the
holes is filled, and in summer men are
occasionally met with who wear no
buttons at all.
When visitor is seen approaching,
however, the ornaments are always In
serted, for one does not feel dressed
without them. In preparing for sleep
they are usually removed.-v. Stefans-
son i'm Harper's Magazine.

ARE
THE LOWEST
Only S52 Collected From
Police Prisoners Since
January |.
FIRST TIME IN7 YEARS

According to officials OF the police
department, the fines collected for
the months of January and February
of this year aggregate the lowest
sum that has been taken In in cor
responding time in over seven years.
Only $62 has been turned over to
Sergeant Dunham since the new year
began, $50 OF which was collected in
January and $12 in February This
is something unusual in the annals
of the police department, as the
fines are customarily abundant dur
ing the first three months of the
year.
Sergeant Dunham says that in all
the time that he has been behind
the desk he has never met with such
delinquency in fines. Recorder
Pickersgill says the same thing. He
says he has known fines to aggre-
gate $2,5s5 for a year, which is the
maximum amount since he has occu-
pied the recorders bench, and the
sum to be as low as $3.50, but In
each case the months of January and
February brought in more money
than those of this year.
Chief Burke says the delinquency
is due to the efficient manner in
which the patrolmen cover the city.
Since the new force was put on two
years ago there has been a marked
decrease in crime in this city, he
says.

UNUSUAL CASE
TO BE DECIDED
Can a Company do Business
When Its Charter Has
Been Revoked?
UP TO JUDGE BEEKMAN

For the first time in the history of
the local court, a case involving a cor
poration's right to operate as COM
pany after their franchise had been
withdrawn was brought up before
Judge Beekman this morning. The
case is that of the New Jersey Produce
Company against William Stultz, of
State street, for an alleged debt of
$l09, which the plaintiffs claimed for
merchandise sold to Stultz about year
ago.
Two years ago, according to Leo
Goldberger, who represents the defen-
dant, the franchise of the New Jersey
Produce Company was rescinded for
non payment Of taxes. After the char
ter had been withdrawn, he says, the
company still continued to do business,
and it was during this time that the
merchandise was sold to Stultz. This
morning Thomas Brown, attorney for
the plaintiff, produced a certificate Of
reinstatement, showing that the COM
pany's franchise had been recently re-
granted. This, lawyer Goldberger now
claims, has nothing to do with the
condition of the company last year.
He says that while they were trading
as company, there was in reality no
incorporation, and by doing business
under the title of company, when no
company existed, the concern has made
itself liable to Indictment by the
grand jury.
Judge Beekman reserved decision in
| the case.
