Just as sleep is a natural pnenome
non OF life, SO dreams are natural
phenomenon OF sleep. Doctors say
that the longest dream we ever nave
even the dream that seems to carry US
through several days-perhaps occu-
pies no more than single second! !.
Some authorities maintain that
any one of our dreams were to
longer than a single second we Shot Z
die. Other authorities are convinced
that we do not dream at all when we
are asleep, but only the fraction OF
time when we are las Shakespeare has
expressed it, "twixt sleep and wax

It is also argued that dreams are
nothing but distorted ideas and i'm

Chances In coastIlne.

Some years ago there was discov-
cred in the British records office an
elaborate map of the North American
coast from Cape Cod to the Navesink
Hills. which is believed to date from
about IT'S. 1t gives a wonderful IL
Iustration of the changes that coast
line may undergo in 200 years. TO
begin with, it shows that Cape Goa
was at that time an island, and that
near the point where was the natural
passage from the Atlantic to cape
Cod bay. The point is located where
the channel existed, and the following
notation was put in by a British ON
Ger, probably Capt. Cyprian Soutnpack'
sent out to capture Bellamy, the pi
rate:
"Ye place where came through witt
a whale boat, being ordered by "
governor to look after we pirate sniI

RAIDERS STILL OPERATING.

In spite of the revelations which were made when the British steam ship Appam was brought into Norfolk by a German prize crew, which told of the operations of one or more Ger man raiders, it is quite evident that such steps as the allies may have taken to drive the commerce destroy CTS off the seas have not been success full, when 1t is announced that an- other German prize crew has taken a British ship, the Westburn, into a Canary island port and put ashore the crews and passengers of a num- Der of other ships which have been sunk
 Though some of these were from vessels which 1t was previously known had been sunk, there were new ones which had been added to the list and as yet the Moewe, which is credited with the raiding operations, is still at large and has good prospects of add ing many more to its list before it is put out of commission, and the best part of it all is that it is conf1ning its operations to the strict observ- ance of international law. It is a demonstration of the fact that the submarine policy which has aroused so much opposition is not at all ne- cessary in order to strike at the commercial vessels of belligerent na- tions
 The appearance of the German crew with it's prize in the Spanish port threatened to raise another such ques- tion as has been brought up in this country by the Appam, but the sub sequent move of the commander thereof in departing soon after and sinking the vessel outside of the har- Dor indicated that no chances were to be taken of the steamer getting back into the possession of the British through any Spanish sympathy for the allies, and Spain will doubtless welcome the move which relieved the necessity of making a decision in the Westburn case.

high handed manner in which citizens are treated who seek the repeal of oD- noxious and tyrannical laws placed upon the statute books of the state at the instance of a notorious medlco political clique aided by so-caIied mod ern educators who seem to delight in pulling chestnuts out of the fire Tor the medical oligarchy having its head quarters at Dearborn street, Chicago. It is not long since notorious that a large per cent of the laws passed by the Connecticut legislature found place upon the statute books either at the instance or by permission or the New Haven railroad company, and we all know that 1t was practically lm- possible to effect a repeal of laws so passed except by permission of that corporation.
 It seems, however, that the mantle of this corrupt corporation has fallen squarely upon the shoulders of an equally corrupt medical oligarchy aided and abetted by their allies who hold petty positions in our public school management. An experience of four teen years in steadfastly opposing these efforts of the medico political schemers has led us to study this question thoroughly and to reach a conclusion without prejudice, and when we are told it Is beneficial to the wei fare of our children to inject into their pure bodies any of the 57 varieties or serums advised and advertised by modern bacteriologists we have simply to say we prefer to take our chances with Heinzs pickles and ketchup, Of which we can obtain an equal variety (57) at less price and no adulteration.
 Speaking of the precipitate manner in which some of our school officials hasten to ally themselves with the medical trust when they once obtain office. reminds me of the story of the colored lady who went to the telephone and heard a voice saying: Sister Jackson, will you marry me?" She said: q sure will, nigger. Who is speahng?"
