Dreams.

From the Strand.
The meaning of dreams has exercised
mans imagination throughout the ages.
and may with some plausibility be. re-
garded as the first question which the
human mind set to itself in the earliest
dawn of reason on our planet. Among
the ancients the explanation most read
iIv accepted was that dreams. i'm many If
not in all cases. were revelations Of su-
perior power. the voice of god or
demon. impartng to the dreamer knowl-
edge of things future or far distant
which he could not acquire by his own
unaided faculties. However absurd a
dream might specifically appear, inter
probation according to the right code
of symbolism was considered capable of
giving it sense In modern times, how
ever the theory that is on the whole
most popular is one which denies all
meaning to dreams. and regards them as
merely the confused and jumb1ed reap
pearance during sleep of memories be-
longing to the persons past history
strung together in any chance order. At
least this is the theory adopted by many
so-caled scientists who do not happen to
have studied this particular problem sci~
entifically.

Bad Outlook for Humanity.
m the FhiIadelphia Inquirer.


According to the latest of the evolu-
tionary sharps there is a serious outlook
for humanity along physical lines. These
biologists know entirely too much or else
too little: are always making trouble for
us Not content with assuring us that
we and monkeys are collateral descend
ants from essentially the same source. we
are now informed that in the course of
time we are to be changed so that our
best friends of today would not recog-
nze us.
Thus, il appears that our heads are to
be enormously enlarged-although in
many instances that would seem unneces-
sary. Also we are to lose-in fact are
lOsng-three ribs on each side. ms Is
alarming if II means that men are once
more to he despoiled to create women. as
i'm the case of Adam. Considering the
state of war brought on by militant suf-
fragettes the outlook for men is dis
tnctly disagreeable. One race of women
is too much for them. but six more are
to be added. VIVA; they will all do for
Woodworking husbands to provide corsets,
hobble skirts and picture hats is beyond
our imagination. but the lack OF magma
ton is. after ALL the weak point In men,
the cause of most of their troubles from
the other sex.
Also men are to grow much shorter.
their arms are to shrink. but the hand
will become much more facile. While their
teeth will decline to a maximum or TWEEN
ty-eight. with a probability of many less.
This will mean woe to the meat trust, for
we shall have to live on soft foods. The
little toe is to disappear. This seems
gain. for Ii will mean fewer corns and
perhaps cheaper shoes. but that jaw
bones are to become mere rudiments is
disconcerting. A photograph of this re-
modelled and evolutioniZed man will be
about as far removed from the Apollo
Belvidere statue as is our ancestor. the
Pithecanthropus erectus, discovered in
the caves of Java.
We should be inclined to feel pessimis-
tic were it not for the fact that the
changes are not to come suddenly. The
obliging biologists allow about one hum
dred million years for these changes to
take place, and by that time most men
will be enjoying in another world the
rest and peace denied here. But poster
itv will have to suffer and take its
chances The women. by means of the
arts and sciences. will keep up their old
appearance but we shudder to think how
men will look. and wonder if women will
chase them and worry them as much as
i'm these piping times of masculine phys
zeal perfection. high intelligence. lofty
honor. devoted chivalry and utter useless
ness save to minister to the whims OF the
other sex.

largely depends upon the proportion be-

this depends upon their rate of growth.
Before a boys voice breaks he may have

say what percentage of ugly children

certainly many do. partly because in

NEW LOW PRICES MARK
STOCK MARKET DECLINE
Upturns in This Weeks Dealings
Due Chiefly to Short
Covering.

NEW YORK, February 22.-New low
prices for the long decline in the stock
market were established this week
The market moved irregularly, with in
termittent periods Of rising prices. but the
upturns apparently were due chiefly to
short coverings, rather than to any i'm
provement in speculative feeling, which
remained bearish.
Had the street been in a more cheer
full mood encouragement might have been
derived from several events of the week,
such as the news that the strike of fire.
men on eastern railways had been avert
ed, the conclusion of hostilities in Mexico
City and evidences of more hopeful feel
ing in Europe regarding the political sit
uation.
The brilliant foreign trade showing for
January and the large earnings disclosed
in the first Of the railroad reports for
last month. moreover, bespoke continued
trade activity. But in the present gloomy
state of feeling, good news is ignored and
bad news emphasized.
In consequence more attention was paid
which included reports of J. p. Morgan
illness, the proposal to double the state
tax on stock transfers and the restrain
ing influence of the impending change in
the national administration.
Exports of gold to South America con-
tinued. but the demand for money was
light and rates were slightly easier late
in the week after having shown a
tendency to harden.

The eyes of the boxing world will be

General interest is stronger in the bout
between Rivers and Brown than in the
Wolgast-Murphy battle. Both the first

their careers. while both Murphy and the
erstwhile title holder are bordering upon
the sere and yellow.
