THE
DUNN SLEEPj
“During sleep.” says an authority on
mental subjects, "the workings of the
uilnd are uuder no control, and yet It
seems to have a wonderful faculty of
building up and arranging scenes and
Incidents. | remember once having n
vivid dream of going Into a house the j
furniture and Inmates of which be
longed to the middle ages. So clear
was the dream that 1 had no diffi
culty In recalling It. and then as I
went over each detail of dress, armor.
Jewelry, ornaments and other objects
seen In my vision I realized that every
thing 1 had behold was historically
accurate—that Is to say. that probably
In a fraction of a second my mtnd had
conjured up a scene to construct
which, with the same faithfulness to
detail, while awake would have taken
me several hours."
The Us* of Condiments.
In an article on the use of condl
menta the Loudon Lancet, the fore
most Hrltlsb medical publication, says:
"The clnssle experiments of Pawlow
have shown how Important Is the role
of the condiments In diet, how It Is
they Improve appetite ntul Increase di
gestive power. Mustard, pepper and
salt, used, of course. In sensible
amounts, assist ttie appetite, give a
zest to food ami partly by reflex action
as well as local uctlon stimulate the
How of digestive Julses and Insure
healthy nsslndla .Ion. Even vinegar Is
known to buve a softening effect on
tough libers, and hence Its use la Just!
fled In so tnnny Instances.”
HI* Gam# Won.
Id b campnlgn In Knnsns somo years
ago. when the tariff wn» made a Jbmi
naut issue. nn old German was run
ning for it county office in central Kan
sas. lie didn't know enough about the
tnrlff to talk about It two minutes.
More than that, he didn't care much,
for It hnd nothing whatever to do with
the office he wanted anyway. But tho
voters were much excited over tho
question and seemed to think that
every candldato should be able to dls
cuss the problem from A to Izznrd.
So this German and his campaign
mnnager Invented a successful subter
fuge. When tho German got up at tho
meeting* to talk he would sny: "Now,
shontlemen, 1 vlll tnlk mlt you about
der tnrifT. It Is like”—
Just then Ills cuinpalgn manager
would Interrupt: "Why. John, you
have only live minutes to tnlk. You
cannot do yourself Justice Vo that
length of time on the In riff.”
“Then 1 won't tnlk ut»out dot tnrlfr/*
would t>e John's Inevitable reply, and
ho would go ou to tell that lie wanted
a certain county office, aiwl so on. Ills

Wheat Doe* Not Grow Wild.
The existence of names for wheat In
the most ancient languages confirms
the evldouce of Its great antiquity and
of Its cultivation In the moro temper
ate parts of Europe, Asia und Africa.
I'rom tho evidence adduced by bota
nists of high standing It seems highly
impnilmble that wheat has ever been
found growing persistently In n wild
state, although It has often been as
serted by poets, travelers and histo
rians. In tho "Odyssey,” for example,
we are told that wheat formerly grew
In Sicily without the aid of man. Dio
dorus repents the tradition that Osiris
found wheat and barley growing pro
mlscuotialy In Palestine, but neither
this nor other reputed discoveries of
wheat growing wild seem at all cred
ible, aeelng thnt It docs not appear to
be endowed with tho power of per
alstency except under continued cul
ture.

the laud and marine species. During
the wars with Carthage a great snake j
Is said to have kept the ltotnnn army
from crossing the Hagrudos river for
several days. The monster swallowed
tip no less than seventy Kotmitt sol
diers during this combat and was not
couqnered until a hundred stones from
ns many different catapults were find
upon It all ut one time. The monster
skull and skin were preserved nml
afterward exhibited In one of the Ho

"How much will you let me have on

"I can’t tell uutll you take It off so

She tugged at the ring. It wouldn't

"Can’t you get It off for ino?" she
asked.
The pawnbroker threaded a noodle
with strong linen thread, soaped the
needle and slipped It bend first under
the ring toward the hand. Then he
wound the long end of the thread

almost to the uatl. That done* he
took the needle and unwound the
thread from the base of the finger out,

Mythical Creatures of Japan.
The Japanese believe In more myth
ical creatures thnn any Other people on
the globe, civilized or savage. Among
them are mythical animals without
nny remarkable peculiarities of con
formation. but gifted with supernat
ural attributes, midi us a tiger which
Is sold to llvo to bo a thousand years
old and to turn as white as a polar
bear. They also believe In n multitude
of animals distinguished mainly by
their size or by the multiplication of
their members. Among these are ser
pents 800 feet long am! large enough
to swnllow on elephant, foxos with
eight legs, monkeys with four ears,
fishes with ton heads attached to one
body, tho flesh of which Is n cure for
bolls. They also believe In tho cxlst
cneo of a ernue which, after It tins
reached tho ago of 000 years, has no
need of any sufttcnunco except water.

Extravagant Mourning.
Pepys' diary has this on the mourn
ing customs of tho time: On tjept. 22.
1000. when there was mourning for
King Charles’ brother, tho Duke of
Gloucester, he "bought a pair of short
blnck Blockings to wear over a pair of
| silk ones for mourning.’* Next duy
•'cniuo one tami in^ father’s with n
blnck cloth coat, made of my short
I ' loak. to walk up and down In." Tho
problem of mourning for men must
have been greater than It Is now lu
those days, when ordinary maaeullnu
' costume was less somber. On this oc
casion Pepys records seeing "the king
In purple mourning for Ida brother.”
Thero Is one mourning cxtrnvngnnco
of tho early eighteenth century which
would scarcely commend Itself—the
soles of the shoes used to ho blacked.
