Napoleon by his will devised several
millions Of francs to his companions
in arms, and this capital in default OF
heirs of the grand army was deposited
in the public treasury. Today the rev

lnherited Dreams.

dreams are really hereditary-that is
to say, they come down to us from an

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 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

he finds an acorn. which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its re-
ception. But he does not eat the
acorn. fer, as u rule. he is not a vege-
tartan. His object III storing away the
acorns exhibits foresight and knowl-
