THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS.
What Can Flit Thrnnnh a Man's
Rrnln In One Ml note.
It Is very certain that the majority of
dreams are only of momentary duration,
though extended occasionally to tbe
length of a minute
In proof of this Dr. Sholz tells the
following story from bis experienoe:
"After excessive bodily fatigue and a
day of mental strain of a not disagree
able kind 1 betook myself to bed after I
bad wound my watch and placed it on
the night table. Then 1 lay down beside
a burning lamp Soon I found myself on
the high sea on oourd a well known
ship 1 was again yonng aud stood on
the lookont. I beard the roar of water,
and golden clouds floated around ma
How long I stood so I did not know, but
it seemed a very long time.
"Then the scene changed. I was in
the country,. and my long Inst parents
came to greet me. They sent me to
church, where the lond organ sounded.
I was delighted, bnt at tbe same time
wondered to see my wife aud children
there The priest mounted the pulpit
and preached, but 1 con Id not under
stand what he said for the sound nf the
organ, which confirmed to ptay I took
my son by the baud, and with him as
cended the church tower, bnt again tbe
scone changed. Instead of being near my
son I stood near an early known but
long dead officer. I ought to explain
that I was an army surgeon daring the
maneuvers. I was wondering why the
major should look so young, when quite
oloeo to my ears a cannon sounded.
'Terrified, I was harrying off, when
I woke np and notioed that the supposed
cannon shot had its can so in the opening
of the bedroom door, through some one
entering. It was as if 1 bad lived
through an eternity in my dream, but
wben I looked at my watoh I saw that
since I bad tullrn asleep not more than
one minute had elapsed a much shorter

The hoat la "Hamlet."
Not ninny years ago at the Queen's
theater, Dublin, daring one of tbe late

was being played to a densely crowded

the Ghost solaced himself during his
long wait from tbe first to the third act.
