A pillow-dream is a night-adventure of your subconscious self. You wan- der without volition in a weird world and come back with a tantalizing and fleeting recollectipn of fantastic per- sons and impossible situations. The metaphysical mystery of this sort of dream has never been cleared, but it is certain that the fruits gathered in these sunless excursions are of doubt- ful flavor and quickly perishable. For- tunately, we are capable of dreams which are not pillow-dreams—dreams which are best dreamed . when the spine is ‘vertical and every fiber of mind, soul and heart vibrant and vital. On these occasions we are in the clasp of our best mood—the mood of con- cept and creation. The wine of this mood is red like blood and the resul- tant intoxication is the holiest experi- ence of which we are capable. In its high hours the soul is never maudlin or fuddled; it grips life strongly and deals with it in divine fashion, whip- ping its fugitive elements into orderly submission, compelling them to as- sume a useful steadiness like that of the dependable planets which can be found nightly at a given point in the heavens.—Metropolitan Magazine. Chinese Enthusiasm. Many Chinese were wrought up to a high state of enthusiasm by the pro- vincial assemblies opened last Decem- ber throughout the empire. One na- tive schoolmaster was especially fer- vent. To express his feelings he chopped off one of his fingers and with the stump wrote out eight characters showing his hearty approval. He brought this testimonial to the dele- gates from his district in bidding them farewell.—Indianapolis News. Optimism. . “Do not go to Honolulu,” the stay: atthome man remarked to the emi- grant. “You'll never be able to work there. The temperature is frequent- ly 100 in the shade.” But the emi- grant had already bought his ticket and was determined to make the best of it, He answered, hopefully: “Well, I'll not be working in the shade TWO-THIRDS OF TIMBER WASTER IN CONVERSION. Most Extravagance Takes Place in Saw-Mills—American Use Lavish. Washington—The lavish use of lum- ber in the United States for per cap- ita consumption is from three to 10 times greater than that of the leading nations of Europe, five eighths of the rough lumber sawed in this country serves as raw material for conversion into a more highly finished and val- uable product, such as furniture, mu- sical instruments, farming implements, ete. The waste in the woods, the mill and the factory, it was said at the forest service, is so great that two-thirds of what was in the tree is lost on the way to the consumer. The heaviest part of this loss takes place in the saw mills. Farmers Will Organize. The farmer has not heretofore organ- ized, as has every other industry in the country, for his own defense. But if, by any act, either legislative or boycotting, he finds that he will not be treated squarely, you will certainly hear from him. He is able to organ- ize his forces into one of the most formidable bodies in this country. His work in that direction is already under way. By your action in boycotting his product you will give renewed grounds for a strong argricultural or- ganization. When that has been ac- complished he will. meet you in the boycotting business, and when the far- mer is stirred up to the defense of his rights you will find him the best boy- cotter on earth. He is used to hard- ships, used to rigid economy, and he has a decided advantage over the rest of the world in that he can get along without replenishing his stock of what he purchases from the world for an in- definite time, while you cannot get along three days without that which his labor produces.—Senator McCom- ber, in the Columbian Magazine. The Flowing Tide. If the Democrats carry the house in 1910, they will carry the Presidency in 1912. Let there be no mistake about that. A current which would give the Democrats the house this year would have enough force left to give them the Presidency two years hence. If the Democrats’ win 'the house in the approaching campaign, there will be a scramble for the Dem- ocratic Presidential candidacy in 1912 stich as has not been seen in many a |day, and Mr. Taft need not be sur- prised when the notification comes to him on the night of November 5 of that vear to pack his “grip” and vacate the White House.— Harper's Weekly.

A.. A TOUCHING RECORD OF {STANLEY'S SAD BOYHOOD Letter Found, Written When a Workhouse Lad, Begging His Uncle For a Place. A letter from Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, written soon after he had left the little workhouse in Wales, where he was brought up, has just come to light. The boy, then known as John Row- lands, was an orphan, destitute and in despair. His only friends were an uncle and aunt, and to them he wrote as follows: “Ffynnonbenno, June 2, 1858. “Dear Uncle and Aunt—I have waited with anxiety, expecting every day to receive an answer from you. Is there any chance or not for me to have that place? Now, dear uncle, I hope you have not taken it unkind in me plagueing. It’s a hard case on me, and it will be harder still if I could ‘not procure that situation. “Dearest Uncle: I sue to you for kindness. I have nowhere te go up- less youican procure a place for me. I am quite well, thank Providence for it. The blessing of God be with you. “They have not succeeded in find- ing me a situation at the Mold rail- way station. * * * “Your very humble nephew, “JOHN ROWLANDS.” Fifteen years or so after this letter was written Stanley, through finding Livingstone in Darkest Africa, be- came the hero of the civilized world. Another Captain Fibb Tale. Rear-Admiral Rogers of the Navy tells the following story of a conver- sation he heard between two old sailors. \ “It was a rat ship I was sailin’ in that trip,” said one of the shellbacks. “One of the dingdest rat ships I ever knew. They was rats in it from bow to stern, rats in the hold, in the gal- ‘ley, in the steerage, in the fo’castle, in the old man’s room—everywhere. Rats. Nothin’ but. “Bimeby it got so bad we had to put in an’ get them off. So we hooked up to a dock and fumigated. on deck an’ I saw them rats leavin’. I counted em. They was fifteen mil- | lion of ’em.” : : “Fifteen million?’’ asked the other. ““Ain’t that a lot o’ rats! Are you sure?” “Sure? Yes, I'm sure. They was ‘fifteen million rats, and I counted ‘em. More than that, every rat weighed half a pound. They was big, | ’ 3 fat, sassy ones, I'm tellin’. “Fifteen million rats, and every | ‘one weighed half a pound, and they all came off your ship. ° That’s seven million and a half pounds of rats. Say, Jim, what was the tonnage of that ship?” “Oh, about a hundred and fifty tons.”’—Judge. Escaping Identity. The question is, which may be the cleanliest manner’ of escaping, not ‘from existence (for that is a matter of a bare bodkin and a pail of water), but from identity, which is a compli- cated concern. It is evident that the desire for escave is almost universal among mankind. Consider the de- light in masks and dressing up, the fetish dances, the fancy dress balls— all equally pleasurable to savages and society. Consider the joy of all men and women in giving themselves an- other face to the one God gave thgm — the joy in painting and false hair, in shaving, in tableaux, charades and theatricals. Solemn moralists may call us self- centred, self-satisfied, self-conceited, but they do not go to Covent Garden; they have never seen a puny shred of human flesh so little self-satisfied that it posed as Achilles, or disguised the lamentable realty under the simil- itude of Neptune with his trident. A dog does not ape the lion unless man clips him; a cat never questions her own sufficiency; a rat dips his tail in oils only to lick it. Man alone of animals is plagued with humility; he alone distrusts his value and longs to escape the trammels of himself.— London Nation. When Prices Were Really High. Editor Caldwell evidently feels con- tempt for this effeminate generation | that complains of the high cost of liv- ing, for he indulges in the following reminiscences in the Jasper News: “It makes old Confederate soldiers | tired to listen to this everlasting talk about high prices. The editor of this | paper has sat down in the Petersburg, Va., market and paid $25 for a meal consisting of a handful of greens, a piece of corn bread, a small piece of bacon and a glass of milk. But then he was able to pay it, of course, as his wages were $11 a month, which he never received. High prices, in- deed! This generation knows noth- ing ‘about high prices.”—Florida Times Union.

I was This Fact — that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con- fiding your private ills to a woman —a woman whose ex- perience with women’s diseases covers twenty-five years. ~ The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. : Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing ‘well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. Such ques- tioning and examination is unnecessary. Without cost you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. MRS. PINKHAM’S STANDING INVITATION: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are in- vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testi- monial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confi- dential letters to get out of their possession, as the hun- dreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink- ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

Perhaps the most pressing want to day is the real old-fashioned mother to teach her children that the highest ideals can be found in home life. The young girl we are mostly familiar with is a restless creature, always on the lookout for change and excitement. But is this her fault? Her upbringing is in some way responsible for it. The mother who does not appreciate her home life is not likely to make her daughter like it, and such a disastrous example augurs ill for the girl's future married happiness. There are fortu- nately mothers who can be termed old- fashioned. Would there were more of them.—West Milton Record. 17 No Use. “Runaway match, wasn’t it?” “Yep.
