I think very often our dreams are a Jumble of Ideas that we have inherited, and that dreaming la largely a kind of free play of what I have called ancestral memory. We dream of things which we have never experienced in our waking moments.

I remember a very realistic dream. It was a battle, and I was in a regiment of cavalry that received an order to charge. The whole scene is vividly before me as I write, and were I an artist I could sketch the face of a man who rode by my side. I can feel the throb of eagerness, the thudding of the horses' roofs in the mad rush as we quickened our pace to get to closer quarters with those we were pursuing. Suddenly the squadron of men In front opened, wheeling off to the right and left, and we were looking into the Iron throats of a masked battery.

They opened fire upon us a moment after the ear splitting thunder, and I was In a hell of smoke, dust, blood, and metal; every piece seemed to sing a war chant of Its own. Then 1 awoke, and I was shouting "God! I never knew it was anything like this!" Here surely is something experienced by an ancestor which has descended from generation to generation and taken its place in my collection of impressions. Nineteenth Century. The Weather.

He met a peasant one day with a donkey, over whose back hung two sacks, one filled with stones, the other with wheat, the stones having been added to balance the wheat "Why not divide the wheat into two parts instead?"

"And where are your lands, wise stranger?" he asked, humbly. "I have no lands," answered the other. "Your estates, then, and your palaces?" inquired the peasant. "I have none," said the other. "Then your houses, your gardens, your orchards?" persisted the man, amazed.
