L\brIULI) rVODTDBn I>1 TT4TITI DEEAjIo i ira triumphs of the brain OVER THE BRAIN AWAKE. - Dramatic Achievements That Owe Their Being; to the Sij-sterlons Workings of the Mind Vnder the Snbtle Influence of S1 tim her'. There are numerous authentic cases in which, inspired by a dream, a per¬ son has achieved in sleep something that he had utterly failed over when awake and certainly more than one where an artistic triumph has resulted. No doubt, too, there have been in itances of the kind where the mystery of such an achievement has remained an irritating problem, ns very nearly happened in respect to an artist whose pictures sold well and whose genius for color combinations was considered as astonishing as his output. The painter used to tell the creepy story of how, going into his studio aft¬ er breakfast, he would often stand spellbound at the fact that some super¬ natural “double” had been hard at work upon his canvas during the night, more than once obtaining cleverly an effect in scheme or coloring that he had strained after for days in vain. Here was something to make the strongest brain reel. As it continued at intervals after lie had tried locking the studio door and placing the key under his pillow, the effect can be better imagined than de¬ scribed, and it was only a chance acci¬ dent that at length burst the bubble. He got up one morning to find his dressing gown streaked with a dry car¬ mine pigment, and fragments of the same material lay strewn about his easel below. Impelled by a dream, he had gone down there in the night to paint, trodden upon the pigment, and, ttutomatoulike, picked up the pieces be¬ fore retiring again. And precisely the same thing is known to have happened to a well known worker in mosaics eoino years ago. His mind continued to work out schemes after his body had “struck,” aud he would proceed to his workroom and arrange designs, the effect of which simply stupefied him next morning. At least one enduring piece of music owes its inspiration and production to a dream in the same dramatic way. The singular distinction, in fact, is claimed for several. It occurs at the end of a famous Russian opera. For weeks the composer had struggled with his finale aud had all but given it up in despair. The spirit of a certain theme danced vaguely through his overworked brain, but always eluded him when lie went to set it down for the orchestra. One night, as he lay asleep, it came to him, grandly definite. lie dreamed that It was an accomplished fact on paper. Events showed that ho must have gone down stairs, played it tri¬ umphantly over on his organ several times and then written down the chords that had caused him so much anxiety. Next morning the score sheets were found uently dotted and the finale a great success; but, although his wife had heard the organ going and even remembered the tune played, the com¬ poser himself could only recollect the dream itself and was absolutely at a loss to account for the position in which he was found—fast asleep over the keys. The brain had succumbed immediately the dream Inspiration had taken a practical shape. Equally dramatic, again, Is the sto¬ ry often told of a struggling musi¬ cian who had written a song which he could not Induce any music publisher to risk publishing. The fact had prey¬ ed on ills mind. One night he dreamed that ho had written a pathetic letter to a popular singer, inclosed it with his scorned masterpiece, walked all the way to the vocalist’s house at Hamp¬ stead and pushed his envelope through the letter slit there. He recollected lit¬ tle of it next morning, not having oc¬ casion to nflss his manuscript, and stoutly denied his landlord’s assertion that he had left his bedroom and gone for a nocturnal stroll. Shortly after¬ ward, however, lie was astonished at receiving a check and a ticket for a concert, and then, especially when he heard his own song rendered at the concert. It all flashed back to him. Ho had unconsciously neted upon his lb-cam— owed his stroke of luck purely to a somnambulistic inspiration. It goes without saying, too, that the most humorous things are occasionally done by persons who retire to rest with a fixed Intention for the morrow in their minds and are discovered work¬ ing out the scheme In their sleep. The writer knows a gentleman—nev¬ er suspected of acting upon inspira¬ tions evolved In his slumber—who had laid In a stock of enamel paints, with which he intended to decorate his rooms after a pattern not yet decided upon. Some fantastic notion presum¬ ably must have presented itself as lie slept. All unconsciously he proceeded down stairs in the small hours, mixed all the colors together in a bowl and started to daub the doors and walls with considerably more determination than taste. The result was a polychro¬ matic chaos, to say nothing of a bad shock for the gentleman, who sprang out of his dream at the sound of a cry from his startled wlfe.-Fhiiaaeiphia A I'icitia Economy, “Sure,” said the washerwoman, bend¬ ing her broad back over the tubs; “sure, an It’s a deefleult matter, workin out a dollar a day to support ’em—seven chil¬ der in all. Au the clothes, ma’am, an the shoes!” She raised her dripping hands nnd let them full with a souse Into the soapsuds. She was a big, vig¬ orous woman, with a good humored face. One afternoon she revealed the trend of her financial management. An or¬ gan grinder was playing on the street, nnd a group of children danced on the walk lu front of the house and hung about the fence watching tlio monkey. The washerwoman stepped out to have a look. “Here, my deur,” she called to one of them, “won’t ye be for glvin him foive she put a nickel Into the child’s hand. Y ell,” remarked the cook when she came back into the kitchen, jou give aivay your 5 cents ensler’n I would.” “• "it would buy a loaf of bread for ' : ’ our cbiWren-” said the eminently sen »>ble cook, somewhat annoyed. “An how far,” replied the good na tured crcatUK, laughing, with her hands on her eside, “how far, tilers yer innocent heart, would a loaf of bread go among my seven eliilder?”—New j York Commercial Advertiser. —--- — ■ LILIES.

COULDN’T FOOL HIM. This Man Knew a Steamboat When He Saw One. The agent of one of the ocean steaiu siiip lines, says the Chicago Tribune, told the following story of a St. Louis man who got into New York the day after the maiden arrival of a great liner: After gazing at the vessel from the pier the St. Louisan said to the man at the gangplank: “Purty good sized steamboat.” “She’s a liner, ocean liner,” was the lofty reply. “She’s purty high up, ain't she?” “Ocean liners have to be. But when she is under way she doesn’t look so high.” “Her chimneys ain't very high, though." “You mean her funnels. No; they never make them high for liners.” “Hinges on ’em?” “Never heard of hinges on a funnel.” “How does she get under the bridge?” “What bridge?” “Why, any bridge. Steamboats out our way have hinges on their chim¬ neys, and when they come to the bridges over the river they lower the chimneys, and she scoots under like she was greased.” The man at the gangplank observed the St. Louis man with lofty indiffer¬ ence. “She ain’t got any wheelhouses on her sides nor none at her stern,” re¬ marked the St. Louis man after he had made further inspection. “Liners have propellers,” said the man at the gangplank, and his nose turned up visibly. “Well, I’ll bet she can’t run. It takes two wheels and a bow like an arrow¬ head and a scant Hold to give a steam¬ boat speed, sonny, aud don’t you forget It. If this steamboat was to got into the Mississippi, she'd go hard aground first clip.” “I have told you this is not a steam¬ boat.” “Shucks! You can’t gimme that . I saw a picter of her in one of our news¬ papers before I left home, and the priutln under it said ‘steamboat.’ Do you think a St. Louis editor don’t know a steamboat when ho sees one? You’re not on to your job yet.” SOWN BY GUNPOWDER. A Cartons Way ot Covering a Rocky Crnst With FInnt Life. In the grounds of the Duke of Athol aud near Blair castle, England, stands a high, rocky crag named Craigiebarns. It looked grim and bare in the midst of beauty, and its owner thought how much prettier it would look if only trees, shrubs, etc., could be planted in its nooks and crannies. It was consid¬ ered impossible for auy one to scale its steep and dangerous acclivities, and uo other way was thought of to get seed sown. One day Alexander Nasmyth, father of the celebrated engineer, paid a visit to the duke’s grounds. The crag was pointed out to him, and he was tolu-bf the desire of the duke regarding it. After some thought he conceived how it could be accomplished. In passing the castle he noticed two old cannon. He got a few small tin canisters made to fit the bore of the cannon and filled them with a variety of tree, shrub and grass seeds. The cannon was loaded In the usual way and fired at the rock from all sides. The little canisters on striking the rock burst, scattering the seeds in all directions. Many seeds were lost, but many more fell into the ledges or cracks where there was a little moss or earth. These soon showed signs of life, and in a few years graceful trees and pretty climbing plants all sown by gunpowder were growing aud flourish¬ ing in nearly every recess of the for¬ merly bare, gray crag, clothing it with verdant beauty. Diogenes, being asked, “What is that beast which is the most dangerous?” replied, “Of wild beasts the bite of a slanderer and of tame beasts that of the flatterer.” If the average man could, read the story of his life he wouldn’t believe it.—Chicago News.

A peculiar hut very serious difficulty besets the operation of telegraph lines in the Argentine Republic. The small spider, of the variety that spins a long cobweb nnd floats on it in the air, is so plentiful there that the floating webs settle on the wires in enormous quantities. As soon as dew falls or a shower of rain comes up every micro seoplc thread becomes wet and estab¬ lishes a minute leak. The effect ot thousands nnd millions of such leaks is practically to stop the operation ot the lines, and the government tele¬ graph department, especially in Buenos Ayres, lias been put to vast inconven SSStoHa^SSTtrii.ta^S avail, on the important line between jj ueno s Ayres and Rosario the effect 0 f the spider webs Is to cut down the 8peeil of working from 300 to 400 to 30 messages an hour. The government j, ttg j Ug t determined, as a last resort CATCHING A MOUSE. A Yonr.i? Carried Couple Have an Interesting; Time Over It. There was nothing for it hut a mo use trap. They had stood the pest of mice as long as patience allowed. The jani¬ tor had made one or two ineffectual attempts to abate the pest, but as the agent of the building would not allow him to use poison for fear the victims would hwve the bad taste to die on the premises the head of the family, spur red on by the protestations of his wife, went out to a hardware store and called for the needed article. He had supposed that buying a mousetrap was a simple thing, but when he saw the number of patterns he was bewil¬ dered. “L>o you want to catch them alive?” asked tire clerk. “Well, I should say 1 did. If 1 want¬ ed to catch them dead, you don't sup¬ pose I would require a trap, do you?” replied the head of the family. “I mean,” explained the clerk, “do you want a trap that will kill them?” “Of course I do. 1 am not collecting mice for exhibition purposes.” He se lected a small steel cage of the ordi nary garrote pattern, for which lie paid 15 cents. That night he showed it to his wife, and they proceeded to set it. “What shall we bait it with?” he asked. “Do we have to bait it?" “Oh, no. You catch mice by sending them an engraved invitation.” “Oli, I suppose it ought to be some thing nice and tempting." “Yes; lobster a ia Newburg.” “Oh, George, I believe you’re teasing me! What do they like most?” “Cheese, you sweet ninny!” “Of course! How stupid of me! But we haven’t a bit of Roquefort in the house." “My dear, if we had Roquefort, we wouldn’t need the trap. The cheese would kill them.” “Just plain American cheese?” “Of course! These are just plain American mice. You might make a Welsh rabbit for them. That would certainly do the business.” Slio got a morsel of cheese, and the trap was baited and set. That night a mouse was caught, but Isabel fainted at the sight of the dead victim, and George was obliged to give the trap away to the janitor lu order to save her nerves. The next day he brought home a trap of another’ pat- i tern. It was baited with cheese, but ,, the mouse was not killed by its eapttv- . 1 ' ity. After ...

But what shall we do with him?” “W'e might give him to the baby to play with,” said tlio unfeeling brute, “or we could attach the cage to the sewing machine and get the benefit of his energy. We will drown him, of course.” Isabel hhl her face in her hands. “In the lake, George?” “Yes; I see myself walking three blocks to drown a mouse iu the lake. No; In the bathtub.” “George Harrison, if you drown that poor little helpless mouse in my bath tub I’ll never”— “Batlio again?” finished her husband. “Oli, yes, you will!” And off lie start ed with the trap for the bathroom, When he had accomplished his design, ho gave the trap and its dead contents to the janitor and returned to his wife, “Did—did it suffer much?” asked Isa bel. “Its death agonies were very dis tressing, and I shall never get Its last words out of my ears.

Apt Quotation* t'acd hy Tradenmen to Attract Attention. There Is Quite a harvest of wit and wis dom to be gleaned by the observant eye from the notices with which tradesmen seel: ;o attract custom, and it might also be worth the while of out of the way things to make a col lection of tjiese wayside gems, many of which blush almost unseen. Many of the cleverest ef these notices which The writer lias added little by little to his collection consist of really witty adaptations of well known quotations and proverbs. An enterprising cycle dealer in a Yorkshire town, whose name is Net tie, turns his prickly cognomen to business account in this singularly apt quotation from “Henry IV,” “Out of this nettle danger I pluck the flower safety,” while a costumer in the same town, whose sympathetic name is Lore, informs his customers in let¬ ters half a foot long that “Love hath a large mantle.” If capacity dje a vir tue iu mantles, Mr. Love deserves to have a large sale. A provision merchant, again in a north country town, turns the same name to useful account by this an¬ nouncement, which “speaks for itself:” “George Herbert says ‘Love is a per sonal debt,’ but tills Love’s terms are strict cash.” Business rivalry often develops quite unexpected resources of wit and wls dom lu men of business. A few months ago a grocer aud provision dealer called Little had a practical monopoly of the custom of a small town iu tlie Midlands, when, to his natural annoyance, a rival settled iu the place and opened a shop under tlie name of John Strong. Within a few days this dignified protest appeared In the outraged grocer’s window: “Man wants but Little here below” (Gold¬ smith). But tlie newcomer was a man of at least equal learning and powers of quotation, for on tiie following day tills supplementary notice appeared iu his window: “Nor wants that Little long” (Goldsmith). A similar story is told of two rival to¬ bacconists, tlie latest comer of whom was named Farr. He opened fire on his opposite rival by placing in his window this notice: “Tlie best tobacco W ‘n® '7, I 00 ” “U ! ° °" e large TZ T !

On a swlng !ng sign, under a highly colored plc ture of the rising sun, appears this leg¬ end in gilt letters: Won't you come into my parlor. Gentle stranger, pray. For you'll liave to travel farther To pass a happier Day. Another publican who boasts the cu¬ riously Inappropriate name of Isaac Drinkwater has adopted this motto: “I. Drinkwater, but my customers drink the best of ale.” Mr. Knott, a draper in a west eoun try town, makes this appeal for ens tom: “Many drapers are extortionate in their prices. I am Knott.” And not many miles from Mr. Knott is a village tinker whose name is Dunn and whose modest motto is, “What is done Is done, but it’s not well done unless it’s done by Dunn.” By no means tbe least clever of these humorous trade announcements was that of a bookseller called Hart who supplied for many years all the books used in a local grammar school. Mr. Hart's business motto was this couplet: Who in life’s race would fain a good start Should always get bis “books by Hart.” —London Tit-Bits.

Bad temper and cruelty are perhaps the most obvious signs of mental de generation in the beasts. The larger monkeys, for instance, become as bad tempered as a violent man when they grow old, and many In their treatment of other animals are cruel as we use the word in regard to man. Among the carnivorous boasts the cat ninuscs itself by torturing a mouse, and the weasel tribe kill for sheer love of kill ing. No such cruelty Is seen among eagles or falcons. Fierce as their tein pers are, they do not torment other birds which they catch or kill for kill ing's sake. Good temper is general among birds. Except tbe cuckoo, such a thing ns an ill tempered wild bird is unknown. Nowhere in the race can a temper like that of the Tasmanian devil or the wild hunting dog or the Cape buffalo or the baboon be found. Even those which In spring arc thieves and egg robbers are not mmivnis coueheurs at other times. Good temper aud good fellowship in society, a personal affec¬ tion to each other to which the beasts offer no parallel, Industry and inde¬ pendence, Intense devotion and fore *ight iu tending their young, with oth¬ er very human aud engaging traits of character, must all be credited to the race of birds. Among these kindly and simple na¬ tures the cuckoo Is a monster, Lct there be no mistake on this subject, lie unites in his life and character, from the egg to tlie adult bird, prac¬ tices and principles to which the whole racg of warm blooded animals offers no parallel, lie Is an outrage on the mor al law of bird life, something so fla grant and so utterly foreign to tbe way of thought of these kindly beings that if he did not exist he would be lncon celvnble. It Is not merely that lie Is a supplanter and a ehnngeling. IBs whole nature is so evil that lu the world of birds he is an incarnation of the principle of ill, an embodiment of vices which would if understood or adopted by other birds put an end to the existence of tlio race. — London Spectator. TRAINING WATCHDOGS, Tlio Method That I* Used liy a Ger¬ man Inatractor. Although It is generally believed that watchdogs a re “to the manner born,” It seems that a certain nmount of train¬ ing helps very much to turn out a real¬ ly good one. This system of training has developed into a regular business In Berlin, where one Herr Straus lias an academy from which watchdogs are turned out by the hundred every year. His system is edncntionnl and is ap¬ plied to almost every kind of dog. Be first teaches the animal obedience by training it to perform certain “tricks” at command and then trains it to dis¬ tinguish between a visitor and a bur¬ glar and what part of a man’s body should be attacked to render the man helpless. Outside of the gate the trainer places a dummy representing the burglar, aud to the latch Is attached a string. By means of the string the gate is opened slowly, until the head of the dummy becomes visible, when the dog is taught to fly at Its throat. Herr Straus is very particular about this. He makes his dogs attack the thront or tlio upper part of the body always. Sometimes a real man well padded takes the place of the dummy, and of course he Is well paid for his services. All dogs, It seems, may bo made good watchdogs, but the St. Bernards nnd the Russian wolfhounds are the best where property of great value is to be guard¬ ed. For dogs uot so fierce as they are a different system of training Is used. They soon learn to guard anything committed to their care, but are not so quick to attack an Intruder as the fiercer dogs are.—Philadelphia Times. Indian Compoaltiona. New "composition” stories are fur¬ nished by two young Indians whose ef¬ forts iu tills difficult Hue are reported by The Southern Workman. The subject assigned to the first boy was tbe life of General Armstrong, Re¬ ferring to the general’s boyhood among the Idolatrous, ancestor worshiping natives of the Hawaiian Islands, he wrote as follows; “The people of the Sandwich Islands worshiped the Idols of their aunts’ sis¬ ters.” The second boy, a member of the cane class, writing utm a .different, phase of the same subject, got the city of Washington confused with the man for whom the cit£, was named. Refer¬ ring to tlio retirement of General Arm strong from the service after tha war, he said: “When General Armstrong finished the war, lie wrote to Washington and asked him if there was anything more he could do for him.” Periodical Famine* Expected. Since tlie first great famine of which there are records devastated the iund lu 1770, when 10,000,000 perished In Bengal alone, India lias scarcely pass¬ ed a decade free from scarcity of grain In one district or another. Tlio British government expects a drought about twice In every nine years, a famine once In every 11 or 12 years and a great famine about twice iu a century. —Review of Reviews, Tlie Inarntctvl Cuckoo, To hear tlie cuckoo’s cheery note you might tliiuk he had the clearest con¬ science in the world.
