A 44ild's dreams are in- variably signs of ciAiturbed health, and should be regarded with anxiety For adlts it is a good thing to know that our brains are being overstrained when our nightly dreams relate to events of the day, ald it we actually seem in t sleep to be continuing our daily work this is a danger signal which never must be disregarded. When we feel " wearied in the morning very likely it resnlts from dreams we have forgotten, and then the best thing to do is to take eaerciss Without coming to any do. eided opinion as to the supernatural ammanng attributed to dreams, we can at least proit by these practical hints "Considered as products of bad diges ion dreams cannot be reasonably ea- pected to tell us anything of a ushdeful character or to supply us with any warn- lag, except one direeted against the eoatlatlon of depraved dietetle hab.

The girls, who are from tea to eighteen years of age, sit n great barely furnished, well-lighted rooms, ea low chairs, holding their las frames en theirknei. They wear a short, bright-colo~ed petticoat, a green, red or orange flche crossed on the chest, silver rings in their ears, and around the neck bead or cora necklaces They have dark eyes, teeth like pearls, smiling red lips, oval faces, fine profiles, and black hair worn knotted in the back of the neck with a silver pin by the older girls, or in longrrgletsby the yonger ones. They draw their needles slowly sad gracefully back and forth, sad grav ly except when some girlish jo•merae a storm of smothered laughter.

If Oliver Goldsmith were alive to make a tour of the far western states and of some sections of the south, he could find many a deserted village there that was once the liveliest if not, like his beloved Auburn. the loveliest of the plain. in Kansas alone. acording to the New York World, where it would appear that towns as well as idividuals have felt the disastrous results of phlebotomy, thre are fully twenty much abandoned villages. and in Nevada, California. Georgia and Alabama they are numerous.

About two p heavy clouds appeared in the west, and a they slowly approached a roaring sound was heard, such as usually indicates a coming halistorm. Lightning, accompanied by distant thunder, suggested an unusual storm. About six miles distant from the Gal- veston News man's pointof observation the clouds divided. A light-colored pload peaed out from the more dense cloud toward the southeast, while the latter continued its course toward the east, but far above it at a high altitude was another cloud of a plnl•ih east, whach moved also toward the eask A few minutes after the rain commesned small hailstones fell, and each moment larger ones fell than the preceding, SUntil they reached the slas of small Men eggs.

Two expert drillers of ofl wells in Pennsylvania have been in Japan for a year sinking wells for the Japanese government. Oddly enough, these wells are drilled under the waters of the Japan sea, on the northern eoast of the empire. For at least twelve hundred years the Japmanse have known of the existene of pe- troloum along the shore, but the nam tive wells were dug by hanad, and the oil slowly filled the bottoms, when it was scooped up in buckets, a few gal- loss at a time. Now the Jasp e gov- ernment is talking of pipe es and railroads for distributing the products of the wells which the Americans me digging.

Although Ja•an is one of the eidetcountries in the world, it has just be-gp to produce petroleum in largequantities. Two expert drillers of oflwells in Pennsylvania have been inJapan for a year sinking wells for theJapanese government. Oddly enough,these wells are drilled under the watersof the Japan sea, on the northerneoast of the empire. For at leasttwelve hundred years the Japmansehave known of the existene of pe-troloum along the shore, but the namtive wells were dug by hanad, and theoil slowly filled the bottoms, when itwas scooped up in buckets, a few gal-loss at a time. Now the Jasp e gov-ernment is talking of pipe es andrailroads for distributing the productsof the wells which the Americans medigging.
