5 r» DREAM MYSTERIES. THE I-BDGER: GAFFNEY, 8. C., AUGUST 18, 189(5. MAY BE SHADOWY MEMORIES OF PRE VIOUS EXISTENCE. i* BRITISH ELOQUENCE. Little Satisfaction Found In the Many Explanations GlYen For the Formation of the Fhnntasmaj;orla Which Come to F» as Wo Sleep. Iii ;i thonghtfal, well written nrticlo on “Dmuns and Their Mysteries,” in The North Ame rican Review, Elizabeth Bislaud reminds us that we are 80 fa miliar with the phenomena of sleep that tho strangest dreams como as no surprise. She says, truly: ‘‘Provo that you have the hypnotic power to make a man feel pain or pleas ure without material cause; (hat you can force him to believe himself a sol dier, say, or a woman, or that he is three feet high, or two persons at once, and he will gape upon this occult mas tery witli awe and wild surprise—he who eveiy 24 hours of his life, with no more magic potion than healthy f atigue, with no greater wonder working weapon than a pillow, may create for himself phantasmicul delusions beside which all mesmeric suggestions are but the flat test of dull commonplace.” Because people are afraid of being thought supi rstitious with regard to dreams there has been an unscientific avoidance of tho whole topic, which is no less superstitious and puerile, the consequence of which foolish revulsion has been that one of the most curious functions of tho brain is still in a period of universal investigation—left unex- nmiued and unexplained. Some dab bling there lias l*een in the matter, hut so far no tenable explanation has been offered of tin.se strange illusions of sleep with which all mankind is famil iar. The results up to this time of this dabbling are for the most part of little more value than the contents of the greasy, well thumbed dream hooks that formed the only and dearly beloved li brary of eighteenth century milkmaids and apprentices. The greater portion ( f such labor as has been bestowed on the subject hasb'en mainly directed toward efforts to prove the extreme rapidity with which the dream passes through tho mind, and that it is some trivial outward cause at tho moment of lous ing from slumbi r, sw h as a noise, a light or the like, which wakes the brain to this miraculous celerity of im aginative creation. The general conviction th. t dreams oocur only at the instant of the awaken ing shows how little real attention has been bestowed upon the matter, since tho most casual observation of ‘‘the dog that hunts in dreams” would show that he may be chasing tho wild deer and following the roo in the gray kingdom of seeming without breaking his slum bers. He will start and twitch and give tongue after tho phantom quarry ho dreams himself pursuing. But given the truth of any one of these assertions, still t4»e heart of the mystery has not yet biMU plucked out, since it is not ex plained why a noise or a gleam of light —Such as the senses are quite familiar with in waking consciousness—should at the moment of rousing cause the brain to create with inconceivable ra pidity a series of phantasmagoria in order to explain to itself the familiar phenomena ef light or sound. It is broadly asserted by many that the memory retains each and ( very ex perience which life has presented for its contemplation, but this is hardly true. It makes to a certain exto’it a choice and chooses oftentimes with apparent caprice. To demonstrate the truth of this, let one endeavor to recall the first impression retained by his childish mind, and it usually proves to be koiuo- ihiug extremely trivial. A lady, interrogated as to this, de clared lyr first char memory was a Dense of tho comfort to her tired little 2-year-old body of thech an linen sheets of the bed at the end of the most perilous and adventurous journey, and of v\hose startling incidents her memory had pre served nothing. Again this capricious faculty will seize on some few high lights in a vivid picture and reject all the unimportant details. As a rule, however, it is the profound stirrings of the emotions which wake tin* memory to activity. A woman never forgets her first lover. A man to tho end of his life can recall his first triumph. Miss Bislaud believes that wo inherit many ef the memories that come to us, waking as well us sleeping. Every one lias felt many times in his life a m usc of familiarity with incidents that have had no place in his own experience and has found it impossible to offer any ex planation for the feeling. Coining sud denly around a turn of a hill upon a fair and unknown landscape, his heart may bound with a keen sense of recog nition of its unfamiliar out lines. In the midst of a tingling sense of emotion a sensation of the whole incident being a mere dull repetition will rob it of its joy or pain. A sentence begun by a friend is recognized ns trite and old be fore it is half done, though it refers to matters new to the hearer. A sound, a perfume, a sensation, will awaken feel ings having no connection with the oc casion. In sleep the brain is peculiarly active inecrtuindirections, not being distracted by the multitude of impressions con stantly conveyed to it by the live senses, find experiments with hypnotic, sleepers prove that some of its functions become in sleep abnormally noite !:nd vigorous. 'Why not the 1 unction of memory? Tim ■possessions which during the vaking bonrs were useless, and tlicn f< re re jected by (he'wil), surge lip again, vivid .and pctenl, and ti i.pl* fore the j*. rcep- tion unsiunmoned, muth y and fantastic, serving no purpose more apparent than do the idle, discountcted nccllections of one’s waking moments of dieaiainess, and yet it may hup, withal, that tho tireless brain, forever turning over and over its heirlooms in the night, is seek ing here an inspiration or there a mem ory to Im used in that fierce aud complex struggle called life.—New York Com mercial Advertiser. A Capital Specimen of the Speech®* Made Ju Local Elections. The following manifesto, copie l ver batim from tho original poster, is a cap ital specimen of election eloquence as applied to parochial contests: “Fellow workingmen, gentlemen and ladies, I honorably put myself forward under your very kind notice for a seat on tho Swanscombe parish council. Let me tell you as a man that I was tl*c first to give cheap meat on Galley Hill and Swaus- combo and all round. I never did and never will hurt a workingman. When times is good, I want to get paid for my very superior food that I always supply, ami when times is hard then you can take it at any price you like to feed your wives aud children and your fam ilies from George Clinch, ‘The Peoples only Butcher’ in this parish. I shall work hand in hand with tho Rev. George Halo to bury the dead at tho lowest price aud put the poor body deep in mother earth, where they ought to be, and I promise that I shall sell my meat at tho same price. I shall also help Mr. Dunbar (for ho is an old Toff) to reduce the salaries of clergymen, as it do cost too much for prayers, and we can go up to glory at a less price. I also promise to do more than the last council, for they done nothing, and as Mickey Finn is not standing, but sit ting down low, we can do good business and have no Donuybrook fair at cur meetings—in fact, gentlemen and la dies, I shall do every mortal thing for the good of your body, and the parson will take care of your departed souls. I shall reduce tho rates and get rent for the workingmen cheaper. I shall light up your roads so that you can see them upon a dark moonlight night. The bust word I say unto yon is, do your duty to yourselves and never mind about me, but put me on tho council for your own sake and tho interest of the men who get bread h> the sweat of their brow.” —Household Words. TO A VIOLINIST. A little brown IbWlo Wrought long years ago. Kay road me the riddle— What make s the tune flow From these four narrow strings When your violin sings? For us tho wood’s soundless And senseless and eold. For you there’s a boundless Romance softly told By tho 1k>\v to tho strings When your violin rings. It has prisoned and eapturod The rustling leaves’ whim. It echoes th’ enraptured Wild nightingale’s hymn. Hark to forest taught strings When your violin sings. Or, stay, did Apollo, A-tuning his lyre, Give you hint how to follow His passion horn fire? Divine grow the strings When your violin sings. And scorned by the muses Is Marsyas again. The while your hand chooses Its tender refrain. Come, iiuick, touch the strings. For your v’.cl n sings! —Blanche Lindsay in Speaker. AN CANDLE POWER. HYPNOTIZED THE BEARS. A Story Which Newsome Believes Because Anderson I* Cross Eyed. J. E. Newsome is a Port Arthur Ca nadian and Alex Anderson comes from Pearl River. An Englishman named Al well wanted lo get a bear, and An derson tried to gratify his desire. Newsome told Forest and Stream about it. Atwell was the kind of man who would like to kill a boar in a trap, ho Anderson took two bear traps and a lot of bait up a gully near Ouimet, looking for a sign. The Englishman went look ing for bears and left Anderson to set the traps. All of a sudden a big she boar ap peared before Anderson at tho foot of a treo between a couple of whoso roots one trap was to have bet'll set. Not hav ing any gun, Anderson, so Newsomo says, determined that hypnotic force had to be used, and that suddenly. An derson looked tin* bear in the eyes, and the bear paused; then Anderson mado three prwses with his hands. Tho bear leaned ils head forward and its eyes bulged out. Having satisfied himself that Uk* bear was properly influenced, Anderson yelled for Atwell, but Atwell was a good w ay off, and before he could arrive the she bear’s 2-yoar-old and yearling cub came out of tho treo at tho same time. A yearling enb alone would be n pretty bad fighter at close quart* rs, especially with a hypnotized mother bear near by liable to acme to at any moment, hut a 2-year-old cub and a yearling both at ouco mado a mighty serious matter. But Anderson was fully equal to tho emergency. He managed to look at the bears’four eyes at ouco and soon bad them subjugated. Newsomo says that ho would not have believed Anderson’s talo only Anderson is now cross eyed, which ho wasn’t before, owing to his looking both bears in tho eyes at ouco. BlKniarck’H Fateful 1*1 pe. Prince Bismarck is a great pipe col lector, and tho gem of his collodion has a curious history. Many years ago, as Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs of Fricderiehsiuli with his two hounds, ho was accosted by a Bohemian peddler and asked to buy a plain meerschaum pipe of the type that Bismarck most af fected. At first Bismarck declined, but the peddler claimed for the pipe a power of forecast and told him ho would serve three emperors us minister, and that three important changes in his life would be foretold by accidents befalling the pipe. Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe. He has since served three emperors. Two days before tho historic moment when lie was refused au audience tho stem of his pipe separated and went to pieces. Enter he chipped a piece from the side of the bowl, aud w’ithin a month he was practically dismissed by the present emperor. The third sign has yet to come.—Berlin Correspondent Dentlnts' Forceps. There are about 200 different styles of forceps made for dentists’ use, vary ing in the sizes and forms of tho beaks and in the shapes of the handles. A dozen pairs of forceps would probably till all tho requirements of a single dentist, hut another dentist, thougli he might use on the same tooth forceps with the same size and style of beaks, might prefer a pair with a different grip to tho handles, and forceps aro made not only to suit every need in practice, hut < very personal requirement of the practitioner.—New York Hun. 8y*tem» of l.nvr in Germany.

"-^Detroit Tribuna How to Measure the Lighting Force and Effect of v Flume. This question and iis answer have i boon until recently of interest to scien tists only. But since one method of lighting is competing with the other Ter superiority the question of lighting j power has seemingly become a public matter. How many candle power? The i question is very simple and yet mystcri- ; ous to the layman. For measuring tho lighting power the most reliable results are obtained by means of a grease spot. In its most sim ple application the experiment eiui Ik* tri( d easily at heme. A sheet of white paper with a grease spot, in tho center is put into a frame and placed between two flames of different lighting power —for instance, between an ordinary candle and a lamp. When tho frame is equally distant from tho two unequally bright flames, the grease spot can bo seen plainly on both sides. By moving the frame with the sheet of paper slowly toward the loss brilliant light—that is, the candle —it will arrive finally at a point where the grease spot lias apparently disap peared on both sides of the paper. This deception must always cccur when on both sides of tho paper mi equal bright ness prevails and no side light exists. Having reached this point, it can be asci rtaiued how much stronger is the light of tho lamp than that of tho can dle. If tho candle is 20 inches distant from the paper and tho lamp f>0 inches and yet the brightness on both sides of the paper is the same, then the light of the lump will l i as strong as that of nine candh s. The calculation is based upon the distances, tho figures of which arc multiplied by themselves and then di vided—here, for instance, (50 times CO divided by 20 multiplied by 20 equals 9. , This, of course, is the most primitive method for measuring light, but it is tlx* principle for all the delicate instru ments used in the laboratories.—Pear son's Weekly.

The preparation of the land and planting of the seed is more than half tho work of making a crop. If these things an* wejl done, a good yield is to that extent assured. The roll er is invaluable as a clod crusher; nothing else will do the work as welj. But there are many fanners who ipso rollers for this purpose only, whereas they have a still more important duty to perform, we are assured by Texas Farm and Ranch, which says: Whether seed are sown broadcast or in drills, a roller passed over them, pressing the soil close aud firm utxnit them, causes a more rapid and uniform germination and a better early growth. On many farms the difference in the amount of seed necessary when well rolled will in one season more than pay for the implement. The roller should closely follow the planting, and when machine planters are used the roller may and should be attached to the planter. Hue!) implements are made aud should more generally be used.

Beekeeping For Farmer*. The following is from the pen of a writer in The Orange Judd Farmer: My observation and experience teach me that one never succeeds with any thing he does pot like; consequently a man or woman who dislikes to handle bees had better let them alone. How- ever, It seems to mo it might pay the farmer who has a lot of fruit to keep :> few stands of bees, even though he hail to buy new stock every spring and did not get any honey. Tho benefit derived from the bees fertilizing fruit blossoms would pay for the trouble. In this case box hives would bo better than any others, as bees undoubtedly winter Ix't- ter in them, and honey is a secondary consideration. In any event get a good stock of in dustrious bees. It is becoming pretty generally accepted that licekceping will pot do to rely’ on as a money making oc cupation unless practiced in connection with spurn other business. The farmer who likes to liandjc bees will have an excellent sjde issue, which, if carefully managed, will be a satisfaction as wpJj ns a profit, T f i such a farmer | say g( *■ two colonies of Italian bees from some reliable breeder, put them in pti eight or ten frame dovetailed hive, got a smoker, bee veil, a Ixxtk on apiculture, and begin. In one respect experienced apiarists nve quite a* negligent as begin ners—that is in furnishing shade for the hives. It has been conclusively shown that colonies in shade during hot weath er make tho most honey. Fall Plowing. Professor W. C. Wnlborn tolls in the Texas Farm and Ranch that ho has had great benefits from fall plowing, and among these benefits are the following: Tennis are left with little heavy work to do at the lieginningof crop time. All the stalks, stubble, weeds, grans, pea vines, rle., arc plowed under and have time to rot by spring. This keeps tho land loose and porous, allowing the air to infer it and dissolve its plant fopdl It also enables water to drain through jt 1 tetter and never lets it get soggy. Opr lands aro thus kept as loose aud friable and as productive as new groun \ all tho time. Wo ran plant more promptly and satisfactorily fall plowed land. When tjic time pomes for pluutr ing, wo have nothing to do bnt run q harrow over it and follow with the peed drill, Lastly we get bettor yields, prob ably 25 per cent more. Hoek Plioopliatm, Rix'k phosphates are known under several different names which general’y designate the localities from which they come, as Honth Carolina rock, Florida reck, Tennessee rock, West India rock, etc. Other forms of mineral phosphates aro known under the names of apatite, coprolite and phosphorite, which aro found in various places in America and Europe and some of which aro used in making oommereial fertilizers. How ever the greatest source of supply’of phosphoric acid is the phosphate rock of our southern states. Tho rock phos phates are extensively used In making superphosphates. When ground to a very lino flourlike powder, rock phos phates are called “floats. ” Rix'k phos phates contain usually from 25 to 80 per n'nt of phosphoric acid and some as much as 85 or 40 per cent.
