a journal of Physical aiul Mental Culture,
published by A. Moore, 11 Rloomfield St.,
Ro.ston, at $2 a year : , . t!
. Wliuthor our view nvo matorialitstio or
spiritual, wo must adhere to thu principle
that mental activity is iusopuraljly con
nected with the brain. It is the instru
ment by which the uouV, wauifusts it ac
tivity, and, an from an imperf'uet instru
ment the most skillful peilotncr can pro
duce only imperfect music, no tht caps
bilitii.'S of the mind , are dependant upon
the state of the bruin. As in sleep its
nourishment ia considerably lowcrod by
the diminished supply of blood, so also, as
Durham's .experiments upon sleeping ani
mals, whose skulls ho partially opeued,
havo; shown, the- arterial, that is, the ox
ygen bearing vessels, nro more contracted
and Jess abundantly filled, thao in . the
waking condition,, and, consequently, the
capability of tho brain is much Jess.
Mental activity is reduced to a minimum,
and especially must all complicated pro
cesses, above all things tho judgment, ;
come to a pause. Still our thoughts and
ideas continue to spin themselves out even
in sleep, according to the ame indestruc
tible . law as thoy do when wo are awake,
but they lack tho regulating and limiting
conduct of tho judgment and tho under
standing. . Tltis partial .activity of the
brain h lo dream. .;. , ,; , ,. . -Tho
dream is not a dark and incxplica
bio something of whose origin we aro ig.
oorant, it is a produot of tho eame brain
function which is active in our , waking
state. Our thoughts-in dreaming depend
as niucrh upon tho association of ideas, at
they do when wa ar awake, .In accord
ance with this law every idea immediately
on it rise calls up a series of other ideas
oonuected with it by rcsemblancj of cir
,,, .!,(.. timiluritv of sound in tho
words which express it, or agrocineut in
the order of time, etc. " - '
lu the waking state- the judgmont al
ways exorcises a re-truining influence tip
on thcplay of our fancy, and prevents tis
from joining together tho unusual aud in
congruous; but in sleep our ideus are as
sociatcd in the lowest manner. ; WhcD w
are awake one idea fulbws another t bat
when we are usleppi sevei'al. ideas .simul
taneously present themselves'. 6U' unitiug
together, form ithemselves into ono ojm
plex whole; or, from tho rapidity .with
which they fullow, each other, and thedjs
tuictncsH of their connection, pno idea un
obscryed takes the place of another,
In the waking ttate we. can call up
ideas by an cfi'oi t of the will.'. We can
think of, what we wish. ...This, however,
is , not always -the case, ( Very often it
happens, i-ns.if by accident, that.., , ideas
spring from the trcasurp'of our memory
to which we voluuUiily give further on
tcrta.inicutr or by whjuh .we arc unwilling
ly led to other idoas, distasteful, to ut.-
So also in dreainn, whuru the , voluntary
calling up of any giveu idea is impossible,
tho mind is led to involuntary activity by
means of ideas stored up iu the memory.
Most frequently tho fu'ot impetus to a se
ries of drcatn-pietures is givuji, by some
marked and striking imprcwiun which has
been uuido upon us during the day, or by
thoughts which 'have occupied our minds
shortly before falling asleep. Those ideas
are often uninterruptedly continued i but
not less often we nro rapidly led to other
ideas, and wo aro then unable to detect
the councctiou between.' the two.
. When we are awake, the impressions of
tbc senses are by fur tho most prolific
source of mental activity. But in sleep,
as wo have seen, tho senses have ceased
to exercise their functions, though, still,
to n certain extent, capable of excitement.
Under strong impressions tho senses of
hearing and of feuhng aro susceptible
even in deep sleep, but the resulting idea
is almost always confused, and often an
entirely different image is presented ; just
as in the twilight we som.itiines take the
trunk of a tree for a man sitting by the
wayside. The indistinctness of the im
pression made upon the senses allows the
fancy to fifl it up iu its own colors, and so
it conies to pass that any excitement of
the sense of hearing or fueling in sleep
gives occasion fuf dreams, of which only
the most general out lino originates in ex
ternal oonditions. There arc many exam
ples of this ou record. - .
Meyer narrates that he once drcamrd
tint he was attacked by robbers', who laid
him full length nn his back upon the
ground, into Inch thoy drovo a stake,
passing it between two of his toes ; hut
on awaking ho found that these two mem.
bors were only septi rated by a slraiv.
. Another relates that, having a bottle of
hot water placed at his feet, lie dreamed
that he bad reached the top of Etna, and
was treading on btiruing lava. .,
In a similar maimer, if we are uuoasy
iu. bod and throw off tho covering, We
dream that iu the cold of winter we are
wanderhig half-clud through the streets;
or, if thoro is a Mrong wind blowing, we
dream of storms mid shipwreck ; or a
knocking at the door product's dreams of
an attack by thieves. , '.
It is very seldoln that words spoken in
sleep at e distinctly understood, and equal
ly seldom that they cafl up iu the mind of
the sleeper the idoa they represent. I
may ineution. an instauee or two in which
dieamseould be controlled in this way.
Dr. Abercrombie rf lutes that on Eng
lish o'fflcor who acconmanicd the expedition-
to 'Ludwigsburgh in 1758 dreamed,
to the great delight of his comrades, any
kind of dream they chose, according to
tho words they whispered in his ear, ,'
Another example is given by Kluge : a
rejected lover, who had secured the favor
of tho lady's mother, obtained permission
to whisper his namo in her car while she
slept. Very toon there was a remarkable
chunire in her conduct toward him, and
at last she gave him her hand. On being
questioned about tho change, sho replied
that bIio had become attached to him, in
vivid, and oft repeated dreams., Vorthe
truth of this story wc eaunot vouch ; at
tho saino time wo do not deny its proba
bility. . , , . .' .,.-.!. : i
The excitement of the internal suscept
ibilities gives occasion for dreams almost
more frequently than the externul senses.
Uy ititcrnal susceptibilities I meau those
sensations which indicate to us the position
ot our internal organs, and which aro us
ually shown ,as general feelings, ami to
waich belong the couditiou of being well
and unwell. . .,.-, i ;. . -.
These Kcnsafions come within our con
sciousness during sleep, but, as might bo
oxpooted, darkly and indistinctly. , Con.
noctod with thum in a similar manner as
with tho impression of tlm externul sou
ses, are certain symbolio dieam-picturci,
tho most common of which is nightmare.
'loin originates iu a. cramped condition of
tho respiratory muscles, and a consequent
difficulty, of breathing. .Similar results
-nr.
will ollow if .the stomach bf overloaded,
for-.it, then presses upoit-tlie Ujapliragni,
and jhereby confines (he, lungs. P) When we
are awake we trace this disordered respir.
ation to the correct causa namely, a lo
cal aflection of the organs of the chest,
ami thoro, ij, endsj but in sleep we arcir
uapable of this .reasoning, and therefore,
in harmony with j the Jay(of association,
there arises from the Xuelirgjjf oppression
the idea of weight and the image of a su
perincumbent object.. .We also dream of
heavily Jaden wagons passing over us.orof
dark, shadowy apparitions emerging from
the ceiling and gradually settling down
upon us. , , ,
-' , - . . i i.fii , J Ml''-. o,4 -.;;-;,.
i, .Not uafrcqocntlr wo find that, instead
of this, we dream of tome great trmble
er sudden fright, for in the waking state
experiences often render respiratiou diffi
cult. We then dream, for csample, that
we nro attacked by robbers ; and when
wo endeavor to secure our safuty by flight,
wejfind.to pur constei nation, that our
feet refuse to servo us, and we remain, as
it were, rooted to the g ound. We try to
call for help, but find that wc nra unable
to produce a single sound, until at last,
after long struggling, the muscles of res
piration aro released from their restraint,
and we awake soraotiine-i with a loud
cry- . i . -.').. .- ..-
Iu a similar manner is experienced the
dream of falling from a great, bight. , It
usually happens while we aro falling asleep
aud depends upon the circumstance that
the gradual relaxing of the muscles caused
by sleep is, by some momentary excite
ment, reversed, and the result is a shrink,
ing back of tho body similar to that expe
rienced in falling from any lofty position.
Somewhat different from this is tho dream
of flying.
According to Schemer it depends upon
our consciousness of the lungs, thoir ris
ing and falling motion giving to us in our
dream the notion of flight.
There aro a great many more conditions
of the body which, if they come into our
consciousness during sleep, awake in us,
in harmony with the law of the associa
tion of ideas, a certain kind ol dreams.
The emotions, also produce a definite im
pression upon their character. "Great
joy," some one has written, "originates a
different class of dream? than ,great sor
row; and ardent love gives rise to dreams
not produced by hatred, deep repentance
or on accusing conscience," . t
i , If we accustom ourselves attentively to
notice our dreams, wc shall easily perceive
the confirmation of the law laid down.
But wo shall also find that it is exceed
inn-lv difficult to reproduce a dream cor.
ruet.ly. ,.
It is so for two reasons. The imagery
of dreams, in by far the greater, number
of cases, , is so indistinqt ami shadowy,
and iu its particulars, so inadequate, that
by the effort to recall them,-we involunta
rily bring , to our help the imaginative
power of our waking momeuts and there
by give to them definite color and outline.
Tho other reason is, the inate tendency
of the human mind to look at all things
in their logical connections,, .
When our dreams consist of a series of
pictures, often conmetcd only by the very
loose bond of the association o'' ideas, we
briug to them by their reproduction, unin
tentionally, of course, a logical connection
and correspondence with the ronl lifo which
originally they did not possess-., (. ; ,
, During the period of deepest sleep tho
function of the brain is so weakened that
we retaiu- no rccollectiou of it, aud sound
sleep has, therefore, come to be called a
dreamless sleep. Sometimes we know
that we havodrcatnod, but are wholly un-
able to recall a single traco of that which
has engaged our sleeping thoughts. ; ,
, But shortly bofora we awake, when the
oxygen stored up iu the blood oorpu'oles
begins to bring tho waste and repair
io the brain into more energetic operation,
our drktms lb6co"no hiore lively and corr
nected, and, for this reason, are more ea
sily retained by tin? momory. Tho cases
aro very few in which dreams are so vivid
that we are unable to distinguish ; thorn
from real events. '. """
. Prof. Jesscn, a celebrated physician lo
the insane, gives a striking example, iu
the following words : ' .
o ; ,-j ......
"Ono winter 'morning, between the
hours if five and six, I was awoke, as I
believed, by IhV head keeper, who in
formed mo that tho friends of a patient
had como to remove him, and at the same
time ho inquired whether anything re.
quired mention. 1 replied that ho might
permit the patient to depart, and immedi
ately lay down again to sleep. , 1 had no
sooner dono this thuu it occurred to me
that of tho intended removul of this pa
tient I had heard nothing, but that it waa
otythe departure of a womau of .the same
name 1 ,had been advised - J. was com
pelled,' Jherefore; to sock further informa
tion, and, 'having hastily drosscd myself,
I . wentitq the dwelling of tho keepers
whom, to qiy astonishment, I. found only
half clad. Upon, my asking him where
the people were, who had come, to fetch
away the patient, he replied, with surprise
depicted upon his countenance, .that, Jie
knew !nothing of it, for he had only just
risen, and had seen no one. - This reply
did not undeceive mo, and I rejoined that
it hiustf havo been the steward who had
Visited md, mid I would go io him ; Tju't
as I was descending the steps which led
to his house1' it 'struck me that the "whole
affair'' was a dream a' fact, however,
which I had riot until that moment suspected."-'
' '' " ' ' """
This example is particularly interesting
from flie length of time which elapsed af
ter tho professor awoke, and during which
he had been thoroughly' aroused by the
act of dressing and going to' the keeper,
yet the delusion which regarded the drcani
as a reality continued, and at last, with
out any; apparent' cause, suddenly van
ished. -,f" i :' ' '
Proportionately more frequent are the
cases whero the awaking is imperfect, but,
still sufficient to induce a couse of action
corresponding with tlie supposed realities
of the dream.
There aro jnstances on , record whore
people, deceived by the alarming imagery
of a dream, have committed acts of vio
lence for which they could not be consil
erel responsible.' ' ' , ' '
An rntircsting exaniplo of Insubordina
tion during heavy sleep is related by
Buchner, in Ilenke's Journal of Medical
Jurisprudence: "
"Christian Juiigor, a soldier of the
guards, two-anrKtweuty years of oge, and
who had been three years in the army, a
man of good character, fell asleep' about
noon upon a bench in the guard-house.
The corporal endeavored to awako him,
in order to sweep out the room.' Jungor
arose, and, without saying a word, seized
the corporal by the breast, then drew his
sabre and made' nn attack, which tho cor
pora! succeeded in parrying." He repeat,
ed the attempt, however, and did not de
sist until disarmed and arrested by the
soldiers present ; ho then eat down quiet
ly upon tho bench. On the preceding
day, and on thtf morning of tho d'eeci, lie
had kept guard at an exceedingly cold arid
exposed situation ; the intervening night
he had 'spent in playing cards, but had
drunk little, and iu the moruing,'-- from
sheer ! wetrrincsji, he" 'fell asleep in 'the
heated guard-house. On the examination
it appeared that he dreamed he 'Was on
guard, when a follow seized hitn by the
hair, and took his" fide, upon which he
drew his sabro aud- mado an attack upon
him. Of that which really passed he
knew nothing.. IIe.could not uuderstant
that he, who had always becu obedient to
his superiors, should havo been guilty of
insubordination. -Tho medical evidence
showed it to bo ti pftsa of slecp-drunkou.
ncss,' aud he was acquitted.". , j .
Iu explanation of this case something
further may. be suid.i i Similar results
might:, be brought about by toil ; , ' but
hero, by keeping guard, and tho consequent
excessive exhaustion, tho deficiency of ox
ygen was brought to an abnormal , bight,
and tho small quantity taken dn during
the short sleep was not sufficient to restore
the brain to its full, activity.,, , r ., .. '
i ,,.,, Ewalo Ubckeu,
, -Infant prodigies, ' who can ' repeat
'Young's Night Thoughts" without a blun
der, or toll tho distance between' Jupiter
and 'the earth without misquoting a cipher,
are not to 1)0 encouraged in these feuts of
mental agility, but should rather be taught
the use of the skippmg, j'opck or indulge

Swiss ana Llmbnrger Cheese.
J I I 1: . 'it
Within a few miles of Oshk&sh, Wis":,
there will be 50,000 pounds of Swiss or'
"Switzer" cheese made this season. 1
' John Ryf, a native of Switzerland, was
a pioneer in the business in the vicinity,
having commenced work ten yearj ago.
He brought to Wisconsin at that time
700. lie now has ti farm of 190 acres,
With buildings on it which cost 10,000
in cas.i the cow barn being particularly
a good one the profits' of Swiss cheese
making. : This "year he is making cheese
from about fifty cows, commenced niatiuT
facturing.May 1, anil has .already a good
supply of cheese. ' , .
The milk is "set" as in American cheese
uianufiieturis' It is heated in a copper
kettle, holding 125 gallons, to about 12?
to 125 degrees! "No mlt is put ,in the
curd, A lever instead of a screw press is
used The cheeses arc 30 inches in' di
ameW, and about A inches thick, welgli
iiijj from 80 to 100 pounds. . Salt is used
then by rubbing it ( in every day for two
or three months, then once in two or three
days until cold weather, ard then once a
week. Tho cheese ought to be at least a
year old befose being used, and tho older
it is the better it is considered. ,
; (Thero aro sin'ill holes in the c'.ecsc.
and if these aro about the size of peas it
is considered '''an'ovidence of excellence,,
When the'eheeso is old these holes become
full of butter. '
The cheese room on this farm is small,
and no curing room is attached, the cheese
being cured iu tho cellar under the dwell
ing house. Ibis cellar, as well as all
about the choose house wus quite clean:
and the entire place gave evidence bf good
management, neatness, cleanliness. The
cheese, however, would hardly be popular
with Americans, cither , to smell or taste.
Yet there is' a great dkiiiand for it at a
good price. ' -' '-' M r -
" Last year Mr. Kyfij pales were made
at" an average of 22 cents, delivered at

He has Bold it as high ns 80 cents per

suit is rubbed on the outside. , Tho cheese

" I see f fed,' I know what power
thorn is in singing and iliaf Is one te$
sou why when I cariic into this church as
your pastor I 'determined there should bo
Singing in the congregation, and why t
never changed fliat determination.' You
know how for eight or ten years' 1 fougU
you night and day.' "You differed W
me in opinion ; you thought you kneW
more " than I did, and I could uot have
my own way ; but after eight or ten years,'
when you were better instructed, and when
you began to have confidence enough W
me to let me have my own way (and I
would have it; I knew I wns! "right nnif
would uet-give up) congregational singing
was inaugurated among ns.t And now, all
men, women and childrcri-sing. And
one "reason why tho Lord dwells among
us so much, why there is so much (piiiu
uality in the church, why the people in'
the church are to cheerful and hnppy and1
social, and why you love' each oilier nj
much as you do, is that you sing with'
grace in you., hearts to the Lord. And I
always feel that a church that do hot sing
have hard sledding. Sleigh-riding in win
ter and no bells think of it. A church
that do not sing are like a spring without
any birds, or lika a garden without any
flowers. Of all the world, a church that
has four singers four whole singers. - A
thousand people sitting down, and a thou'
sand pairs of ears listening to four mouth?.'
Singing to the Lord wus meant to open up
the hearts of men who participate in it, and
carry thcin near God, There is no time
when wc como so near the face of. God,'
and ; speak to Ilim so nearly as when we'
sing.,, , A thotisnnd folks, with four persons
to do their singing for them, do not getf
very near to Him cither. I know it is
possible for them- to sing devoutlyall
things are, possilbo with God) but they'
are not apt to do it. Give me a.singing
church. And in a church where tho spi-'
nt of God is. singing must break out, it
seems to me. Bee. II. W. Beeeher's Lee'
