Something About Dreams.

Fred w. Eastman, hi the July Atlantic.
Dreams are due to an increase of SEN
sation and circulation over that which
exists in nrnfonn1 sleep. Observation
made upon patients with craniaI de-
fects show that when we are dreaming
the brain Is greater I'm volume than in
deep sleep, and less than when we are
awake. Thus this intermediate volume
OF blood would indicate that dreams are
an intermediate stage between uncon-
seriousness and w~akefulness, and their
incomplete and irregular intelligence
would indicate the same thing. This
increased circulation is usually due to
sensory stimulation affecting the vase
motor center and causing a return OF
blood TO the head, with resultant in
creased consciousness. Contrary "a
popular belief, dreams in themselves do
not contribute to light or broken sleey
in which they are present, Such Il conA
dition is due to the ever present stimuli
which, according TO their strength OF
the degree of ~irritabiiity of the cells
maintain even in sleep a varying de.
gree of consciousness Of which tn.
dreams are merely a manifestation
Therefore the ~fatiguing effect Offer
also attributed TO dreams is not due tt
them, but to the lighter degree of slees
and less cell restoration which theJ
accompany. and which are due to somi
irritation.
Sleep Is no longer indefinitely con,
sidered q wandering abroad Of the soul
but is now known to be a temporary
poisoning OF the brain cells by the
waste products resulting during the
day from the activity of the body cells
In general. Thus when a muscle cell
or a nerve cell acts. nutritive material
stored within its walls is broken down
into substances hat are OF no value
and merely impede further action OF
the cell unless removed. Normally
these waste products are washed out
by the blood stream which at the same
time provides new cell food, and Is
finally itself purified by the eXcretory
orgaEs--the lungs and the kidneys. In
the course OF the day, however, produc-
ton Is II excess of removal and then
the clogging effect OF these substances
Is manifested by fatigue In muscles and
brain, the extreme degree of which re-
suits, in the latter organ, in the In
ability TO act, which We know as sleep
The third of our time thus spent out
OF commission is therefore really due
10 the inadequacy OF the excretory or
cams for purifying the blood.

In Yucca Land.

The rim OF the desert is Yucca land,
Behind 1t the snow peaked ranges stand;
Beyond Il, and out, the desert lies
And far as the line of the tenting skies
''The ship OF the desert" sails there at
dawn
In the swift mirage: and there. updrawn
From violet seas, in the sunrise glow
And the perfumed plains where the iris
grow,
Out there where the web of the gossmer
flies,
The shoals OF the purple islands rise;
out there are the pink gray nists, un-
rolled.
And the sun goes down on a world OF gold,
In Yucca land.
The grimncss Of time is Yucca land,
Wheh twilight reaches her spectre hand,
"hen the moon bends down, a ving

And the midnight stars are whispering.
The Yucca glades are peopled then

From the inner earth, from tie Every
They, come, and they walk in the moon
The dryades step from the Yucca trees
Ana lean white arms on the wayering
There q pallid priestess counts her beads;

There are s~tealthy shadows. a phantom

And oh, the sience-so tense. so terse.
You can hear the heart Of the universe.
The desert its mystery unbars

The newness Of earth is Yucca land,
The tang OF the first made CLEAN Of sand;

Link Between Eccsntricity ard Madness

From the New York World.
Where may the line be drawn which
will happily separate eccentricity from
insanity? Eminent aIienists have spent
many sleepless hours over this ques-
ion, n it still remains unanswered.

feels or acts in accordance with the
asages and customs Of the society in
which he belongs.
1T is hard to draw a line between
accentricity and insanity on the one
hand, and insanity n crime on the
other" he says. Each is q manifesto
lion OF a mental degeneracy, and they
nay exist separately or combined.
Many eccentric persons are insane, but
are tolerated n even in some motor
lous cases, adored by society, because
combined with their madness is often
a streak Of genius. Some Of the most

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike

coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not gripe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver

these organs in a healthy condition and
c~orrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation Ia responsible for most all
ments. There are &c feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who

complexion or enjoy good health. If

Canadian Reciprocity
To Solve Serious Problem

One of the great benefits to come
to the farmer from Canadian
reciprocity will be in the cheap
ening of materials which go to
the making of his home. Lumber
is the most important commodity
upon which duties have been
lowered. Rough lumber is made
entirely free. 1t is estimated that
on the SIS, 100000 OF lumber
which the United States pur-
chases from Canada each year
duties amounting to over 81, $50
900 will be saved to home build
ers. Slate, shingles, manufac-
lures of asbestos, various classes
of building stone and gypsum,
entering largely in the manufac-
ture of cement, and oxide Of iron,
used for making paint all these
are on the lowered duty or free
list. How ridiculous is the claim
that the farmer will be injurious
ly affected by the treaty will
thus be made plain.

Columbia Plantation Extends
Transportation Facilities

Messrs. Caire, Graugnard and
Company, owners and operators
Of the large Columbia Central
Sugar Factory, of Edgard, have
concluded to lay a railway track
from the sugar house down to
the Make plantation line. This
innovation is in accord with pro-
gress and will relieve the plant
ers of much labor and expense
incurred in the delivery of the
cane crop to the factory. Fewer
mules will be necessary and surer
and quicker haul made to destin-
alton. We must compliment the
Messrs. Caire & Graugnard and
hope that in the near future they
will extend their track westward
and thus encourage the cultiva-
ton of sugar cane.
