Luncheon for Mrs. Anderson.

On Wednesday Mrs. Robert
Mayes entertained a small but
.ongenial party of ladies to meet
Mrs. w. D Anderson, whose re-
cent arrival. with her children
aas brought pleasure to the many
friends and admirers of justice
Anderson.
This delightful courtesy was
the first Of many doubtless, with
which the arrival Of this most
gracious woman will be acknowl-
edged. Like her distinguished
husband, Mrs. Anderson is ex-
ceptionally interesting, and has
a way of making and of holding
friends which is most fortunate,
Her presence as guest-of-a
at this luncheon, lent especla
charm to Mrs. Mayes' sweet
home, and proved that in thus
completing the Supreme Cour1
circle, she had given it another
most lovely desirable link. Mrs
Mays served for her friends upor

this occasion an elegant lunch

FLYING IN DREAMS.
A eensatian Like That Which Some.
times Precedes Death

tiHnSe Precedes Death.l
The sensation of flying Is one OF the
earliest to appear in the dreams OF
childhood. It seems to become less
frequent after middle age. Beaunis
states that in his case 1t ceased at the
age of fifty. 1t is sometimes the last
sensation at the moment Of death.
TO rise. to fall. to glide away has
often been the last conscious sensation
recalled by those who seemed to be
dying, but haveafterward been brought
back to life. Pieron has noted this
sensation at the moment of death in
number of cases. usually accompanied
by sense Of well being. The cases he
describes were mostly tuberculous and
included individuals Of both sexes and
with atheistic as well as religious be-
liefs.
In all the last sensation to which ex-
preston was given was one OF flying.
of moving upward. In some death was
peaceful. in others painful. In one
case a girl died clasping the iron bars
Of the bed. in horror of being borne
upward.
Pieron associates this sensation with
the similar sensation of rising and float
ing in dreams and with that Of mov-
ing upward and resting on the air ex-
perienced by persons in the ecstatic
state. In all these cases alike life Is
being concentrated in the brain and
central organs, while the outlying dis
tricts Of the body are becoming numb
and dead.
Dream fight, it is necessary to note.
is not usually the sustained fight OF O
bird or an insect. and the dreamer
rarely or never imagines that he Is
borne high into the air. Hutchinson
states that of all those whom he has
asked about the matter hardly one
has ever known himself to make any
high flights in his dreams. One al
most always flies low, with a skim.
ming manner. slightly. but only slight
ly, above the heads of pedestrians.
Beaunis-from his own experience
describes typical kind of dream
fight as a series Of light bounds at
one or two yards above the earth. each
bound clearing from ten to twenty
yards, the dream being accompanied
by delicious sensation of ease and
movement as well as lively satisfac-
ton at being able to solve the problem
of aerial locomotion by virtue Of su-
perior organization alone.
J,afcadiO Hearn somewhat similarly
describes in his "Shadowings' typi-
cal and frequent dream of his own as
series of bounds in long parabolic
curves. rising to height Of some twen-
tyrfive feet and always accompanied by
the sense that a new power had been
revealed. which for the future would
be permanent ossession.-Atlantic.

EARTHQUAKES Ear Progress.

Japan has great number of water
falls which would be of material value
in the development of the country, but
the reason these valuable sources OF
power are not being developed is be.
cause OF the danger CT earthquakes
which is constantly confronting the
people. More than once within recent
years have steps been taken with the
view Of constructing dams in order
that these falls might be utilized when
some demonstration Of the earth has
given warning Of the danger of such a
step and the promoters have been
forced to abandon or greatly modify
the proposed improyelnent.-New York

MODERATE DRINKING.

Moderate drinking prepares the soil
for drunkenness 1t works mischief
secretly and imperceptibly, and by
paralyzing the power of self-control
and obscuring the. senses brings it's
victims in myriads of cases to the
verge of inebriety, while all uncon-
scious that the bounds of moderation
have been passed. Men are weak and
alcohol is strong strong to make
paupers of the wealthy, sluggards of
the Industrious, invalids of the
healthy, desperadoes of the gentle,
imbeciles of the shrewd and the cley-
er, degraded outcasts of those in every
class of society who were once upright
and respected. It is the plain teach
ing of worldwide experience that
in total abstinece exists the only real
safeguard.-Tbe Temperance Witness.

LEARN FROM SPAIN.

The series of articles on "The
Kingdom Of SPAIN from the pen
of Frederic j. Haskin, appearing
in the Pioneer Press, is worthy Of
perusal by all who are interested
in that country. They are full Of
information in regard to Spain,
its social and political conditions,
its people, their manners and Gus
toms. While one must disagree
now and then with the statements
and deductions of the writer, the
articles are, on the whole, illumin-
ating and interesting.
There are many things that can
be learned from the people of
Spain. Many parents could take
to heart the statement of the writ
er regarding the solicitude of
Spanish parents for the welfare of
their daughters. He says: cat the
ball in Madrid there is no sitting
out the dances, the Spaniard s
idea of protecting young women
from pitfalls is to keep them un-
der a solicitous eye. There are no
corners in the conservatory, seats
In alcoves or other rendezvous
where interested couples may pass
the time while others are on the
ballroom floor
How different this is from the
custom that prevails in America

vogue in the large cities, and other
places of amusement where the
young of both sexes are allowed
to mingle Unfortunately, with

PRIEST RIDDEN" PROTES-
TANTS.

A writer in the Independent"
of New York, one of the leading
Protestant weeklies, gives stats
ties to prove that Catholics are not
priest-ridden as. is so frequently
asserted by the enemies of the
Church. In fact, it is the Protes-
tant sects that are priest-ridden.
To quote the Independent:
From the elaborate statistics
of the diverse Christian denomina-
tions published, we gather the re-
suit that the adjective, priest
ridden, attaches not to Catholics,
but in its fullest sense to Protes-
tant denominations. These very
statistics show that the Catholic
priests have the largest parishes,
and the Baptists the smallest
that the Methodists have four
times as many churches and three
times as many ministers; the Bap.
fists nearly five times as many
ministers as there are Catholic
priests in the country, although

THE GREATEST CRIME BREEDER,

What is the greatest source of
crime? Is it poverty and misery? Is it
unfavorable social conditions? Is it her
editary affection? Is it defective edu-
cation and training? These questions
were presented and discussed by DR..
POLITE, penal hospital superintendent
of Dusseldorf, in a lecture on the
psychology of crime, at a meeting of
scientists in Tenbangen and after
wards published in a memoir. In it
he says that the close relation exist
ing between alcoholism and all kinds
of crime has been much discussed
since the alcohol question has re-
ceived SO much attention, and it is no
longer seriously denied. He declared
alcohol to be the most evident and
most dangerous cause of crime as we'll
as of much misery and evil, and
closes by saying that the hopeful
movement against alcohol offers the
best prospect for the prevention of
the crime.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
FOR THE SAKE or THE GIRLS.

Attention has recently been directed
In these columns to the especial perils
of alcoholic beverages to women. In
diligence often begins in subtle FORM
perhaps in medical use, possibly in the
tiny social class, or often, in the
humber ranks of life, in consequence
Of the habits Of the husband.
Whatever the occasion, the risk can
not be too strongly urged, and girls,
especially when they leave home for
boarding school and college should
know definitely what they must avoid
and why. A college graduate, herself
a college instructor, asked not long
ago whether there is alcohol in bene-
dictine, saying that after a walk a
short time before with one Of the
undergraduates, the latter had urged
her to come in and have some bene-
dictine, as it will make you feel fine"
Not quite sure of the facts, but quite
unwilling to venture influence on un-
certainty, the older woman declined
and then proceeded to get at the facts
which were, of course, that the drink
in question has on the average an al
coholic content of 38 per cent.
Even the soda fountain is not free
from possible influence with its
frozen pudding" "claret sauce" and
sundry other wine or liquor favored
delicacies. Undoubtedly it is true that
the majority of women who buy them
would not scruple to place them on
their own tables, yet there are many
to whom this would be special
'ttreat" and who thus become accus-
toned to the alcoholic flavor. The
quantity which these delicacies con-
tain is small, yet any habit which will
accustom women, and especially girls
and young women, to purchasing over
the counter alcoholic preparations has
in it grave risks which need to be
more widely appreciated and guarded
against by mothers, teachers, and all
who have to do with the training of
girls.-Scientittc Temperance Journal.
