DREAMS.

I medical Ixplanation of Their I Causes. Wundt regards most dream as really representations, since they -etmanate froni sensorial impressions, though weak, 'continue during An inconvenient position duiing le'ep causes the representation of painful work, perilous ascent of a mountain, etc. I A slight intercostal pain becomes the poiut of ene.my'a dagger or the bite uf an en raged dog.1 Difficulty in respiration is fearful agony caused by nightmare, the nightmare seeming to be a weight rolled upon tbe chest, or a horrible monster hich threatens to stifle the sleeper. An involuntary extension of the foot is a fall from the dizzy height of a tower. Flying ia sufgested by the rhythmic movemuta of respiration.

Further "those subjective visual and auditory sensations are represented in a waking state asjt luminous chaos of an obscure visual field, by humming and roaring in the ears, and especially, subjective retinal sensations, have an essential role." according to Wundt. "There) are shown' to jis -innumerable birds, I butterflies, fish, multi-colored pear, flowers, etc. But if there be some cutaneous irritation, these visions are usually changed Into, caterpillars tor beetles, crawling over the skin of the sleeper'. The sleeper sometimes dreams of his appearing oh the street or in society only dre ssed; the innocent cause is found in some of the bedclothes having fallen off. An inconvenient position of the sleeper, a slight hindrance to respiration or interference with the action of the heart may be the cause of dreams where one seeks an object without being able to find it or has forgotten something in starting on a jouuey.

The jmoyenients of rpiraions may object to the sleep er, as previously mentioned, Hying, but this night may be suggetive, and. instead of himself flying he sees an angel-descending from the heavens or I a luminous chaos where birds are swiftly moving. The representation of dreams having sensorial origin may have mingled with them those which arise solely from the reproduction of past memories. Parents or friends Cut off yi the flower of. life ordinarily appear in dreams because of the profound impression- which their death or burial has made, "hence the general Spinion that the dead continue during the night their interco.urse wijth the living.

i Economy Is 'Wealth. John T. Lester says that; he bought his first hundred shares of Northwestern stock after sittipg in a game of whist at the Calumet with Albert Keep, the President. The stalte had been the drinks. The rubber, finally, was to decide who should pay for the pack, and it fell to millionaire Keep to settle with the steward for the cards.

Lester says he sat long enough at the table to see President Keep steal his hand into the tail uojket of ack broadcloth coat, bring out a piece ef newspaper, carefully wrap up the and return it to his pocket. Then ho hurried out, and on his waj i heme ordered 100 shares of North western bought for him. "A man," Lester, in his own vernacu- Iar, explained, "who could show rsuch careful and minute economy in the management of his own personal affairs must be a of a man for the president of a great railroad." Lester has never lost faith in North-J western jince that game "of Cards. He has stuck to ft through thick and through thin. Millionaire Keep's" carriage, in which be rides down to 'business every morning, ought to be another recommendation for Northwestern.

It looks like the Deacon's I wonderful chaise. 'It -looks more afitiquated still; as if, for instance, it had been used in ante-revolutionary days, an4 ad been "down through the Keep family from before Washington's time, The horses are bays, fat, short-necked, modest sort of animals.
