SHORTNESS OF OUR DREAMS
II Natural Phenomenon of Sleep Last
ed Longer Than Single Second
We Should Expire.

Just as sleep is a natural phe-
nomenon of life, so dreams are
natural phenomenon Of sleep. The
medical man assures US that the long
est dream we ever have-even the
dream that seems to carry US on
through several days-actually occu-
pies no more than single second!
Some authorities maintain that II
any one Of our dreams were to last
longer than a single second we should
die. Other authorities are convinced
that We do not dream at all when we
are asleep. but only in the fraction OF
tine when We are (as Shakespeare
has expressed it, "'twixt sleep and
waking
It IS also urged that dreams are
nothing but distorted ideas and i'm
ages passing through the drowsy
mind and being 20 more than extraor-
dincrv variations OF things that have
ba37eaea. or Of things that we have
thought. or read IN our waking mo-
merts. they can have no possible as
socia;;o3 with our future. But, on
the other hand. dreams have been
credited with prophetic meanings
since the days when the world was
young: and dream books are still
published and purchased and consult
ed by the million.

Beware of Strange Mushrooms.

II strangers appear in your mush.
room bed, look out, A professional
mushroom grower recently was badly
fooled and. with his entire family OF
five persons. narrowly escaped death,
Hence the mushroom specialists or
the United States department of agrl-
culture have issued warning to COM
mercial and ether growers of nush-
rooms to regard with suspicion any
abnormal mushrooms which appear IN
their beds. It seems that occa Sionally
sporadic forms appear in r!ush"oom
beds, persist for day or IT,, and
then disappear. These are generally
manure-inhabiting species and may be
observed shortly after the beds have
cased. In the instance cited, however,
these fungi appeared in considerable
numbers at the time the edible Agarl-
Gus campestris should have been
ready for the market, and the dealer
supposed it was probably new brown
variety and tried it in his own family.
AS result. they were rendered abso-
lutely helpless and were saved after
several hours only through the assist
apce Of a second physician who had
had experience with this type OF pol
s0uing.

HAVE DISPLACED OLD MAIDS
"Saehelor Girl" Is Better AppeIIation
Now Given to the Woman Who
Remains Single.

Among the most delightful modern
products are our bachelor girls.
1t has been said that a good wife
is the by-product Of love, and it may
be said with equal truth that bach
elor girl is the result Of new business
conditions.
One thing, however, is certain: The
bachelor girl has crowded out our old
maids. Rarely, indeed, will you come
across a real genuine specimen Of the
blighted love series surrounded with
her feline pets, an authority on heart
symptoms and blender Of bird seed.
There may be a few Of those dear
old maids still to be found in the re-
mote country districts, but in our
towns and cities they are extinct as
the dodo.
Perhaps it would be more correct
to say that they have evolved into
bachelor girls. In the good old days
any girl who didn't marry before she
was thirty was dubbed AN old maid -
She was frequently lonely soul anu
took to reading faded letters and
dabbling with smelling salts.
Nowadays a girl who doesn't marry
is called a bachelor girl" She has a
good Job and holds it down; has a
checkbook, good clothes, lives in
pretty fat or shares apartments with
other pretty girls, and is looked up to
and envied by her married friends.
She attends strictly to business and
her relatives are very polite to her
because she is such e clever crea-
ture," and incidentally because she
buys shoes for their children and pays
for Angelina's piano lessons.
The old maid lived in the past; the
bachelor girl lives in the present ana
has her weather eye on things TO
cone,-ButaIo News.

STORY OF HOME. SWEET HOME
Met Written Willis Payne Was Pow
e-ty.Stricksn, 8us When He Was
Fairly Comfortable.

1t - more than ninety years since
"Home, Sweet Home was written,
but its popularity is still worldwide
and wherever the English language is
spoken it is known and loved because
it appeals to that deep-lying instinct in
humanity which is the basis Of family
life.
Many stories have been written Of
its origin, most Of them more or less
inaccurate and tending to distort
reality by a mass Of pleasing fiction.
Moving word pictures have been
drawn Of the starving author in his
garnet and illustrations have been pub
lished Of the original "lowly thatched
cottage for which he was supposedly
pining, both affecting and interesting,
but not in accordance with the facts.
Although he had periods OF failure
and hardship, as well as possibly brief
periods OF success and prosperity, it
was not while suffering from poverty
that he wrote Home, Sweet Home
but during a time when he was living
comfortably in Paris in the Palais
Royal, and having considerable success
in his dramatic work.
There is also no evidence to indicate
that the 'lowly thatched cottage" had
any existence outside Of the authors
brain, in spite Of the tradition which
has been built up about the Easthamp-
ton cottage.
Throughout his life Payne had a
deep affection for his native land, his
friends and his family, from whom he
WIS for many years widely separated.
His letters frequently allude to his
longing for the society Of those ne
loved and his appreciation Of the home
and domestic life.
He was only fifteen years OF age
when necessity forced him to begin his
battle with the world, a precocious,
highs spirited, impulsive, sensitive, am
bilious boy, conscious Of an intellect
above the normal, restive under re-
stra:nt, quick to take ofense at seem
ing slight.-T. T. P. Lukuer, in Serb
ner's Magazine.

He Was PREPARED.

One afternoon recently a Now York
travelling man called prominent Fl
Paso (Texas) attorney into consulta-
ton at one Of the leading hotels. He
explained that he contemplated very
perilous undertaking and desired to
make his will. The lawyer drew up
the will, and the travelling man paid
him fat fee, left the document with
the hotel clerk, accompanied by condi-
tions to be carried out should he
never return, then hailed a taxicao
and went to Juarez, Mexico. where ne
bought picture postal cards and Nexi-
can stamps and addressed them to
relatives and friends. Then he re-
turned to El Paso quite unscathed.
1T wasn't as thrilling as I thought 1t
would be-" he admitted. But l al
ways believe in precautionary meas

Physical Fitness Bio Asset.

No woman nowadays can afford
not to be we'll.
III health-eyen mere "delicacy,"
with no positive manifestations Of
disease-eXists too much. There IS
the obvious, direct expense Of doctors
bills and medicines. But indirectly
you pay much higher price for not
being well. If you are wage Garner
your lost time and energy, due to a
lack Of physical strength, must also
be computed in lost dollars.
Poor health will interfere constant
ly with your social good times. It
will mar whatever beauty you may
possess sooner than any other cause.
If you are a wife and mother illness
and weakness will interfere with your
duties and the comfort Of those dear
to you. Whatever your station in
life you will find that the role of in
valid and weakling is no longer fash
ionable or popular. For while you
will have the sympathy Of your
friends, but the best of them will be
bored with you sooner or later. They
can't help it. A worship Of physical
fitness is in the air, and, instead Of
whining and pitylng yourself, you
must bend all your energies to the
task Of becoming well-EXchange.
