Won His Waner.

Mrs. Somerville, the great methema-
tieian and scientific writer, had to a
great extent the power Of concentra-
ton and became so absorbed in her
task as to be unconscious of what was
going on around her. DR.. SOmerville
told Harriet Martineau that be once
laid a wager with a friend that he
would abuse Mrs. Somerville in a loud
voice to her face and she would take
no notice, and he did so. Sitting close
to her, he confded to his friend
the most injurious things-that she
rouged, that she wore a wig and 9th
er such nonsense, uttered in a very
loud voice. Her daughters were in a
roar Of laughter, while the slandered
lady sat placidly writing. AT last her
husband made a dead pause after her
name, on which she looked up with an

Big Business.

For several weeks a ST. Louis manu-
featuring concern has had force Of
salesman in Madison county offering a
range to the farmers, and they have
disposed of many. The people never
seem to think that the same class Of
goods can be purchased at home for less
money and at the same time they are
sending thousands of dollars out of the
county, that very little, if any, viii re-
main here. These people pay no taxes
to Madison county nor a license TO offer
their goods for sale. Some people think
if they can buy on credit it is easy sail
ing, when the price they pay always in
clude a good stiff interest on the money
that the firm is floating"

FLYING IN DREAMS.
A Sensation Like That Which ssane-
times Precedes Death.

A Sensation Like That Which S5ane-
times Preeedes Death.
The sensation Of flying is one Of the
earliest TO appear in the dreams OF
childhood. II seems TO become less
frequent after middle age. Beaunis
states that ia his case il 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 10 be
dying, but have afterward been brought
back to life. Pieron has noted this
sensation at the moment Of death in
number Of cases, usually accompanied
by a 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 ioat-
ing in dreams and with that Of NOV
ing upward and resting on the air ex-
perienced by persons in the ecstatc
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 flight, it is necessary to note,
is not usually the sustained flight Of
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 a 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 a delicious sensation Of ease and
movement as well as lively satisfae-
ton at being able TO solve the problem
of aerial locOmotion by virtue Of su-
perior organization alone.
Lafcadio Hearn somewhat similarly
describes in his "Shadowings" a typi-
cal and frequent dream Of his own as
a series Of bounds in long parabolic
curves, rising TO height of some TWEEN
ty-five feet and always accompanied by
the sense that a new power had been
revealed, which for the future would
be a permanent possessiOn.-Atlantic.

Earthauakes ar Prooress.

Japan has a 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 of 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 improvement.-New York
Press.
