FROM MINDS SECRET PLACES.
Come Materials for Dreams Which One
Finds so Hard to Explain.

You read a book and forget every word
of it. Years later a scene from the same
book will come into your mind as dream;
you will not recognize il and marvel where
1t came from Or you will see person
casually on the street and be perfectly
unconscious of it. But the experience
is registered in the mind somewhere, and
some day YOU may see that same person
in a dream. Perhaps some of the great
store of impressions hidden away in your
unconscious mind will come to the sur
face in a dream in such way that you
will feel that there is something mysteri-
Gus about it
An old lady once told the writer Of a
dream she had, citing it as a complete
| justification of her belief in spirits. While
on a shopping tour she mislaid a valuable
umbrella, and for the life of her could
not remember what she had done with it,
| 1t worried her considerably, and that
| night she had dream in which she saw
| herself 90 into a restaurant, hang up the
| umbrella, and after eating her lunch 20

Seeing" Sound Waves.

Interesting data regarding the visibility
of sound waves have recently been pub
hshed in L'Astronomic, in letters from
men at the front. One writer tells of See
ing curved lines of light, alternating with
dark bands, moving swiftly across the sky
while heavy cannonading was in progress.
4 second writer speaks of witnessing a
series of arcs of light travelling across a
cloud -fecked sky Scientists attribute
these phenomena to sound waves, which
originate with the explosions and spread
in all directions like enlarging spheres
resulting in successive and alternate belts
OF rarehed and compressed air, says Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine Under certain
atmospheric conditions, with the sun il
the proper position, portions of these
spreading waves become visible in the
form of moving arcs Of light.

MUSIC'S AID TO MEMORY,
Like Nothing Else, Strain of Music
Takes One Back to Scenes of the Past.

Have you ever realized the power that
music has to carry the memory back years
and years until the illusion is so realistic
that when your mind returns to its imme-
date surroundings you realize with a start
It was only day dream-that you were
not actually and physically where your
thoughts were? A few bars from one OF
the old songs carries you back to the old
home. You see the fields, the river, the
''ould kirk IN the hazy distance. You al.
most feel the evening breeze on your cheek
and hear the familiar sounds-the lowing
Of the kine.and the bleating of the sheep
You're living again those dear old days
just as wildly as you did long ago.
Or the strains of an old waltz remind
You OF your first dance years and years
ago. You live over again the days before
the dance when you were SO busy getting
everything ready-and then the great
night arrived You remember your en-
trance into the brilliant ballroom. Yot
saw all those old friends whom yol
! thought you had forgotten until now Their
the excitement and pleasure and the won
derful dances-thc people you met for The
| first time and the faces you saw for tbs
| last time. All this recalled by just a few
bars of music
This Is one of the reasons why musi,
has such a great hold on people-ant
why its charm never wearies-why som,
music no matter how familiar or oft heard
is always new. 1t is a necessity that Their,
should be such music in every home anC
thanks to the ingenuity that made posi-
bic the talking machine and the player
piano the musically unframed are not de
pendent upon their gifted and tutorec
friends for this blessing Exchange.

Whale Oil for Frostbite.

1t was an American chiropodist serving
with the French army who began using
whale oil on soldiers feet to prevent frost
bite and to cure trench feet
Instead of socks, the German soldiers
use foot cloths, which work back and forth
with the foot movement in marching and
prevent chatting. These cloths are soaked
with parahn.
The same effect can be obtained with
common vaseline Wash the feet thor.
oughly, dry them, rub vaseline all over
them. This will prevent chatting, fatigue
and frostbites.
