A commercial report informs US
that Japan is buying a large number
of sheep from Australia. The sheep
industry is to be developed in Japan,
and her wooden and worsted mills
will soon rely on her domestic supply
Of wool. Under the democratic law
she is getting into our market with
cotton goods to an extent unprece-
dented in the history Of our trade
with the Kingdom of the Sun. There
is no reason why, under the same law
she can not do so with wooden goods.
Voters who are permitting the demo-
cratic party to blindfold them with
the foreign policy, should remove that
bandage and take a look forward be

a quarry situated between two houses.

This patient had been shouting in his
sleep, beginning in low voice and
gradually becoming louder until eventu-
ally he was shrieking. The 1egless body
occurred in all his dreams: the sight of
this had evidently produced profound
emotional shock.
HE had worried a great deal about
his wife, who was much younger than
himself" says Major Mott, 80 that We
have this incongruous association of the
legless body and the head of his wife

Terrifying dreams have
the effect of making the
patients much worse and
it is important to combat
them. Often, in their
dreams, patients are heard
to cry out, and awakening
find themselves in a cold
sweat. Some officers have
been heard to give COM
mands to their men and
urge them on to battle.
Now It does not necessari-
ly follow that these men
who cry out or talk in
their sleep and who obyi-
ousiy were dreaming can
recolleet their dreams; in
fact, it is not a very un-
common thing for them to
say they do not dream, al
though they say they have
awakened with a start and
found themselves In a cold
sweat.
A functional case Of
deaf-mutism, who would
narrate in writing his ter
rifying dreams, did not
cry out as some mutes do,
but systematically in his
sleep went through the
pantomime of bayoneting
the enemy, and even
would get out of bed and
look under, and of this
performance be remem-
bered nothing. He did not
act thus when hypnotized.

doctor comments that the song had be-

Then the doctor tried him with the

we down-hearted? No." But he could
not repeat 1t. A month later the mans
mind was restored, chiefly owing TO

Memory Brought
Back by a Bar of Music.

1.-THE patients mind was a complete
blank and this condition was reflected in
a dazed, mindless. mask-like expression.
He did not know the address OF his home.
and when shown letter from his father
with the address on the top he did not
recognize 1t or his fathers handwriting.
When shown photograph of his home
with a group OF his father, mother and
three brothers and himself in front of it,
he maintained the same wondering, dazed
expression and failed to recognize the
nature of the picture. His father had
heard from eomrade that he had been
buried by the explosion of shell in the
trench; he had been unconscious for
some time and lost his speech.

a good musician, and said to him. 4 hear

1.-TWO observations or great interest
have recently been made by medi-
cal officers attending the wounded
In the European war.
One is that the wounded soldiers suffer
constantly from the most persistent and
frightful dreams recurring night after
night. The other is that music is very
efficacious In restoring the minds of SOL
diers unbalanced by terrifying expert
ences, when all other remedies have failed.
Major Fred w. Mott, British army
surgeon attached to the Fourth London
General War Hospital, has given re-
markably interesting description of his
experiences with soldiers suffering from
disorders of the mind and nervous sys-
tenn.
A large proportion of patients of this
class are troubled with agonizing dreams
which prove the most obstinate feature
Of their condition for the DOCTORS.
The poor fellows make the hospitals re-
sound with their shrieks and yells as
they dream at night. Men who when
waking are idiotic, helpless and some
times even speechless become raving,
yelling demons again in their sleep. They

Music, it is interesting to know, has
been found the most effective agency in

shell-shock 1t has had the effect of
bringing back memory, speech, hearing
and even sight. In these cases, where
various centres of the brain have been
disconnected and put out of gear by
shock without gross physical injury.
music has the power of linking them to-
gether again. This action of music is
explained by Major Mott on psychological
grounds that appear very convincing.
Here is an interesting example Of the
treatment in the case of a soldier who
was picked up insane from shell-shock:
