Dreams an Index of Character*
Nearly all dreamers can lie brought
in' " pi h; thoieuft- xsesiely, that emee
in dreams xve pass throiq 1 a great
X'arietyof experiences, no; *of which
is ever likely to liefall us in real
life, we are put to tests of character
which xve should nex'er endure other
wise, and therefore that we ought to
come to a better acquaintance with
ourselves. Thus, if I have never
been placed in a situation of extreme
danger, as by attack of armed
thieves or in a burning house (to¬
gether with others more helpless
perhaps), hoxv am I to knoxv what
my feelings and conduct would
really lie under such circumstances?
Think of himself xvhat he may, no
candid man can give a confident an
sxx r er to that question.
It is a common experience to dis¬
cover in one’s self a surprising cool¬
ness and resource, or a total un¬
suspected and crushing cowardice,
under a sudden severe test. To
some such test, it has been surmised,
xve are frequently exposed in dreams,
passing through emotions strong
enough to effect our physical senses
no less than if the danger xx - as real—
as broken knuckles anil quaking'
train testify xvhen we awake—and
therefore all the more to be trusted
as like to those which xve should ac¬
tually experience if the dream xvere
reality.—F. Greenwood in Contem¬
porary Review.
Animals Are Much Like Children.
Naturalists have frequently com¬
mented on the similarity of traits
displayed by children and young
quadrupeds. Love, hate, fear and
joy are feelings which are apparently
shared in common by human Vieings
and dumb animals, and those who
have made a study of animal life de¬
clare that a certain amount of play
or recreation is as much a necessity
to certain young animals as to chil¬
dren.
By careful observation the writer
is convinced that the following games
are played by young animals in much
the same manner as by children:
Tag. in a variety of ways; running
races, jumping matches, wrestling
bouts, ball playing and “hide and
seek.’’—Youth's Companion.
The Rain Treo of iVrn.
In the northern jiart of Peru, in
xvhat is other-wise an arid desert, the
celebrated "rain tree" grows. This
species. Batas x-apero. though not
large or of much commercial value,
is a veritable South American won¬
der. having the extraordinary prop¬
erty of condensing what little mois¬
ture there is in the atmosphere so as
to cause a continual mist to exude
(seemingly; from its leaves and
branches. The leaves are of a thick,
succulent naturp. and when ex¬
amined with a strong glass exhibit
many of the qualities of the common
sponge. St Louis Republic.

I.1.I4I1 Hunt*. 1 .ove of Color,
The late Mrs. Duncan Stewart,
who knew well most of the English
authors of the lust sixty years, ustxl
to say of Leigh Hunt that she be
lieved him to be the only person
xvbo, if he saw something yellow in
the distance and was told it was a
buttercup, would be disappointed if
he found it was only a guinea. Yet
these were Leigh Hunt’s days of
greatest privation. Mr. Carlyle xvas
very poor, too, at this time, yet a
friend who knexv him very well and
went often to set; him told Mrs.
Stexx’art that one day going to < 'or
lyle and seeing two golden sever
eigns lying exposed in a little vase
on the chimney pics* he asked what
tliey were there for.
Carlyle looked—for him—embar
rassed, and gave no definite answer.
“Well, now, my dear fellow,” said
the visitor, “neither you nor I are
quite in a position to play ducks and
drakes with sovereigns; what are
they fort” “Well,” said Carlyle,
“the fact is that Leigh Hunt likes
better to find them there than that I
should give them to him.”—New
York Tribune.

"Yes, I see.” said the druggist.
“Did you every try my unparalleled

• That’s just what I did,” answered
the baldheaded man in times of
wrath, “and here’s the result.”
The druggist mused a moment.
“It works that way sometimes,”
he said. “The hair grows so fast,

She—Very well. Goodliyl

The origin of maize, orlndiuneorn,
is unknown, hut it xxas first culti¬
vated by xrtiite men on the James
river, Virginia, in tetOS. It is, says
Mr. C. J. Murphy, about the only
product “* America that is not appro
ciattol in Europe. American xviicat,
Hilton, fruits and meats are now
well known in the xvorld’s markets,
but maize is Still shunned for use in
the human dietary of the British
isles and most of the continent. Yet
analysis proves that the nutritive
value of maize cannot be less than
five-sixths of that of wheat. This
food is, moreover, of remarkable
health! ulness. Dyspepsia was scarce
ly known in America fifty years ago,
when maize was the principal food.
A surprising uumlier of delicacies
and inexpensive dishes is now sup
plied, not less than 1.10 recipes for
txiiling, baking and cooking this
great staple having been tested and
approved. The annual surplus of
maize in the United Stab's is enor¬
mous. It is used for feeding cattle
and hogs, in making glucose, starch,
beer and whisky, and recently for
producing oil. No part of the plant
is lost. The fodder is valuable food
for animals, and has licen used as
fuel in treeless parts of the west,
while the Imsks are made into paper
or employed for filling mattresses,
packing fruits and wrapping cigars.
Odditie* A l»o 11 1 Memory.
The memory remains intact and
in perfect working order in eases
where the left side of the brain is
badly diseased, from which it may
be inferred that the right side of the;
brain is the seat of this remarkable
faculty. From the physiologist’s
point of viexv the power of memory
is badly diminished by too muon
food, by an excess of physical oxer
cise and l.y education. If this is
true the illiterate has a better mem
ory than the educated man of the
period. It has also lieen proved
that the memory is 1 letter in
morning than in the evening, in
summer than in winter, and much
lietter iu waiTn than in cold coun
tries.— St. Ix.uis Republic.

Two NsMiilci*!
Thiwi two expressions, "weighing j
anchor,” and "under way,” are quite )
distinct, but have l«;en and still are j
sadly confused, l'lie following is in
Latham's edition of Jolmson:
“Weigh, s., in navigation, act of
leaving tin moorings (with under).”
Criticism of this alsairdity is a
waste of words. Tho “weigh of a
ship” is nonsensical. A substantive
weigli could only is- applird to the
anchor, as it is this that is weighed,
not the ship, but the “weigh of an
anchor" is not more familiar to me
than the “weigh of a ship.” The way
of a ship is intelligible. It means
vulgarly liar course or track, tech¬
nically her progress. A ship is un¬
der way not merely at the moment
when she leaves her moorings, but
all the time she is sailing. "Under
way” is probably borrowed from the
Dutch, though cognate expressions
exist in German (unter wegus>, Dan¬
ish (underveis) and Bwedish (under
vageii). Hexham’s Dictionary of
1658 has “under wegen, under way
or upon the way,” arid I am told by
a Dutchman that “Hetschip is under
wegen” meuns, “Tlie ship is en
route,” and is the regular phrase.—
