ATATE GRANGE AT STATE,
The Excontive Uommittee Deolded to Hold
its 1000 Meeting ut Centre County's
College Town,
he next sespion of the Pennsylvania
State Grange will be held at Btate Col
lege, where is located the state's great-
est educational institution—Pennsyl-
vania State College.
The executive committee of the
Biate Grange, consisting of Master W,
T. Creasy, of Columbia county ; I.
Frank Chandler, of Luzerne county,
and OC. H. Dilldine, of Columbia ccun-
ty, together with a local committee,
including John 8. Dale, Eimer Musser,
W. K. Corl and Willard Dale, repre-
senting the Cuntre County Pomona
Grange, met at Btate College Friday
evening, when it was definitely de-
cided that the next session of the State
Grange should be held at that place.
Those connected with Pennsylvania
State College, as well as the citizens of
the town, have voucned for and ar-
ranged that the twelve or more hup-
dred Grangers who attend these meet-
ings will be properly cared for. The
sessions have never been held where
better facilities were obtainable for
holding the meetings. The Bchwab
auditorium, the chapel, and the msny
commodious rooms that may be used
for committee purposes have never
been equaled in points of elegance and
convenience anywhere the Grange has
held previous meetings.
Arrangements have also been made
by the railroad eompanies whereby
the passenger coaches on the Pennsy
will be earried direct to State College
over the Bellefonte Central Railroad,
thus avoiding a change at Bellefonte,
Dr. Hunt met the committees at the
railroad station, and together with =
number of others connected with the
college, they were escorted to the
Auditorium, Armory; Agricullural
building, and other points, and dined
at McAlister Hall.

THOUGHTS If DREANS
Startling Rapidity With Which the
Ming Works In Sleep.
SOME STRANGE EXPERIENCES
The Events of a Whole Lifetime May
Flit Past the Dreamer In a Few Mo-
monte—Queer Results of
Experiment by a Noted Psychologist.
a Dream
A characteristic of dreams which, as
the rather materialistic Dr. Clarke
says, “hints at a life that has neither
beginning nor end and is bounded by
no limits which human thoughts can
compass” Is the rapidity with which
events happen in the dream world,
Thus, when asleep and dreaming, we
live an entire lifetime in a minote:
in a space of time that is scarcely
more than a second we pass through
experiences that could not be duplicat-
ed in this objective sphere in hours,
perhaps in years.
Count Lovalette relates that one
night, when imprisoned and under gen-
tence of death, he dreamed that he
stood for five hours at a Paris street
corner, where he witnessed a con
tinuous succession of harrowing scenes
of blood, every one of which wrought
his soul to the highest pitch of excite
ment. When he woke he found that
he had been asleep less than two min-
utes.
In a more recent experiment, made
expressly to test the truth of these
theories, the subject was aroused from
sleep by a few drops of water being
sprinkled upon his forehead. It took
but an Instant to accomplish this re.
sult, and yet in that Incalculably brief
space of time the man dreamed of
going on an excursion: of an accident
by which he was plunged into a lake,
and during the long struggle to escape
death that followed all the experiences
of bis life seemed to flash before him,
Just as they are sald to appear to a
person who is actually drowning.
Dreams sre tricksters, Professor
Titchener of Cornell university told
with gusto of his experience. As na
specialist in psychology he interested
himself in dreams. Like a true sclen-
tist, be one set about gathering data,
He wanted know what caused
dreams, where they came from, what
they meant, and all that, He deter
mined to watch himself when he sient
and to awake himself at once when
he found himself dreaming something
of value. Bo, with a notebook on a
writing table near his bed, he forced
himself fo waken several nights
and to write down, while the dream
were vivid, his remem
brances of the detalls and by a study
of the room, the bed and his physical
condition to attempt to arrive at the
possible causes of his dreams.
He was getting on famously. One
night be had a particularly vivid
dream. In accordance with his prac
tice, he forced himself to awake and
immediately write down clearly every
thing about it, then went back to sleep
again. The next morning he arose
and was astounded to see that his note
sheet was biank. He remembered pos
the he had down
thereon in the middle of the preceding
night. The next night agaln he wrote
down his notes after his dreams, only
to have the same uncanny sensation
the next morning at finding nothing
recorded
The strange circumstances set him to
pondering. That night he Impressed
upon his mind before dropping off Into
slumber that be must awaken with his
first dream, or, if not with that, with
his second dream. Subsequently this
strong antesleeping command deliver
ed to himself was present all through
his dream consclousness,. When the
first scenes of a vivid dream came be
fore his fancy he felt himself awaken.
and he set about writing down the
facts upon the pad at his table.
It was then that fron some source
of inner consciousness he felt the com-
mand again to awake, although he

opened, and the secret was out. He

It is indeed statesmen, students and
thinkers generally who most need the
relaxation afforded by occasional mer
riment. Some centuries ago it was the
fashion in Europe for men of rank to
keep a buffoon, and a banquet was
considered Incomplete where a privi
leged jester was not an attendant.
This was perhaps for those days a
wise custom. It is surprising how

be prolonged by the substitution of
these remedies for “carking care” and
