O The Mystery of Dreams!

We stood, my companion and
 I, talking together as we wait ed for a third party to return.
 We were near a large barn thru an open door of which we could see a pile of straw and
 a smaller pile of corn fodder. A small dog came to us from somewhere, a friendly and in- telligent little fellow with marks of the bull terrier. The dog was attracted by the open doors of the barn and he en- tered and went up to the pile of fodder and stood looking at it with ears pricked. Suddenly he dove under the pile and dis appeared. We heard squeal- ing and saw mice running from
 the fodder to the straw. Then smoke arose from the pile of fodder and we rushed into the barn and gathering the fodder in our arms carreid it out and

deposited it near-too near as it proved-to a pile of fence posts. Having removed the corn fodder and stamped out the fire in the barn we tore down the pile of posts which had caught fire from the corn fodder and scattered the posts about. We then went into the barn to look for the lifeless body of the poor dog but could find no trace of it. And then-I awoke and wondered, as I rolled over in bed, what-in-thunder caused me to have such a ridiculous dream. O the mystery, the everlasting mystery of dreams!

The lovers of freedom will rejoice at the revolution which has taken place in Russia and hope it may be complete. A revolution in that despotic country has long been due and it has only been kept from ma terializing by a most drastic use of the military. The war has brought the psychological moment. Autocracy has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The whole country has turned against it. It could not use the army to save itself this time. The Duma has assumed control and will administer the affairs of state in the name of the people.

EXAMINATION PAPER

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

This group of islands con- sists of over three thousand is lands. Luzon is the largest. The group lies southeast of Asia. The shape may be com pared to a triangle. It is gen erally supposed that the Phil ippine Islands are of volcanic origin and they have many earthquakes there.
 The islands were first discov- cred by Magellan in 1521. The name Filipina was first applied by Villalobos who made an ex- pedition there in 1542. He so named it in honor of Philip, Prince of Spain, who later be- came Philip II of Spain. The United States got the Philip pine Islands from Spain in 1898 at the close of the Spanish American wer. Twenty mil lion dollars were paid for them.
 At the time of discovery, two distinct tribes of people were found there. They were the dwarfsh, savage Negritos and Malayans. But since then many other kinds of people have settled there. When the Europeans first arrived, the na- itives had a written alphabet, but little knowledge of reading and writing. The first school was established by the Jesuit Fathers and they had their first public school in 1863. The aim now is to put education into Philippine hands.
 The year is divided into the wet and dry seasons. The mild est month is January and the middle of the day is the hottest part of the day.
 The two common diseases are disentery and malaria. They also have leprosy, small pok and bubonic plague.
 There are many timber trees palms and fruit trees. There are over three hundred varie- ties of fiber plant. The most important of these is the abaca plant from which Manila hemp is made. They raise su- gar cane, tobacco, rice, sweet potatoes, tropical fruits and vegetables. Much bamboo is grown from which many things are manufactured.
 There are many beautiful birds in the Philippine Islands and many kinds of snakes. The principal animals are, deer, water buffalo, wild hogs, large bats, crocodiles and some ante lope. The largest snake is the python. It is about eighteen feet long. It is generally SUD- posed to be harmless, but some times it attacks people. There are many land and sea turtles.
 These islands are very inter esting, but the climate is not very desirable to live in.
