    INSPIRED BY DREAMS
TRIUMPHS OF THE BRAIN ASLEEP
OVER THE BRAIN AWAKE.
Dramatic Achievement* That Owe
Their DCIIIK to the Myaterions
Working;* of the Mind Under the
Snlitle Influence of Slumber.
There are numerous authentic cases
In which, Inspired by a dream, a per
son has achieved in sleep something
that he had utterly failed over when
awake aud certainly more than one
where an artistic triumph has resulted.
No doubt, too, there have been ln-f
stances of the kind where the mystery
of such an achievement has remained
an irritating problem, ns very nearly
happened In respect to an artist whose
pictures sold well and whose genius
for color combinations was considered
us astonishing as his output.
The painter used to tell the creepy
story of how, going into his studio aft
er breakfast, he would often stand
spellbound at the fact that some super
natural "double" bad been hard at
work upon bis cauvas during the night,
more than once obtaining cleverly an
effect in scheme or coloring that he had
strained after for days in vain. Here
was something to make the strongest
brain reel.
As it continued at intervals after he
had tried locking the studio door and
placing the key under his pillow, the
effect can he better Imagined than de
scribed, and it was only a chance acci
dent that at length burst the bubble,
lie got up one morning to find his
dressing gown stroked with a dry car
mine pigment, and fragments of the
same material lay strewn about his
easel below. Impelled by a dream, he
had gone down there in the night to
paint, trodden upon tlie pigment, and,
uutomatonliko, picked up the pieces he
fore retiring again. And precisely the
same thing is known to have happened
to a well known worker in mosaics
some years ago. His mind continued
to work out schemes after his body
had "struck," and lie would proceed to
his workroom aud arrange designs, the
effect of which simply stupefied him
next morning.
At least one enduring piece of music
owes its inspiration and production to
a dream in the same dramatic way.
The singular distinction, in fact, is
claimed for several. It occurs at the
end of a famous Russian opera. For
weeks the composer had struggled with
his finale and had all but given it up
In despair. The spirit of a certain
theme danced vaguely through his
overworked brain, but always eluded
liim when lie went to set it down for
the orchestra.
One night, as lie lay asleep, It came
to liim, grandly definite. He dreamed
that it was an accomplished fact on
paper. Events showed that lie must
have gone down stairs, played it tri
umphantly over on his organ several
times and then written down tlie
chords that hail caused liim so much
anxiety. Next morning tlie score sheets
were found neatly dotted and the finale
a great success; but, although his wife
had heard tlie organ going and even
remembered the tune played, the com
poser himself could only recollect the
dream Itself and was absolutely at a
loss to account for the position In
which lie was found—fast asleep over
the keys. The brain had succumbed
Immediately the dream inspiration huil
taken a practical shape.
Equally dramatic, again, is the sto
ry often told of a struggling musi
cian who had written n song which he
could not Induce any music publisher
to risk publishing. The fact had prey
ed on bis mind. One night lie dreamed
that he had written a pathetic letter to
a popular singer, inclosed It with his
scorned masterpiece, walked all the
way to the vocalist's house at Hamp
stead and pushed his envelope through
the letter slit there. He recollected lit
tle of it next morning, not having oc
casion to miss his manuscript, and
stoutly denied his landlord's assertion
that he had left his bedroom and gone
for a nocturnal stroll. Shortly after
ward. however, lie was astonished at
receiving a check and a ticket for a
concert, and then, especially when he
heard his own song rendered at the
concert, it all flashed back to him. He
had unconsciously acted upon his
dream—owed Ills stroke of luck purely
to a somnambulistic inspiration.
It goes without saying, too. that the
most humorous things arc occasionally
done by persons who retire to rest with
a fixed intention for the morrow in
their minds and are discovered work
ing out the scheme in their sleep.
* The writer knows a gentleman—nev
er suspected of acting upon inspira
tions evolved in lils slumber—who had
laid in a stock of enamel paints, with
which lie intended "to decorate his
rooms after u pattern not yet decided
upon. Borne fantastic notion presum
ably must have presented Itself ns he
slept. All unconsciously lie proceeded
down stairs in tin? small hours, mixed
all the colors together in a bowl and
started to daub the doors and walls
with considerably more determination
than 'AKic. The result was a polychro
matic chaos, to say nothing of a bad
shock for the gentleman, who sprang
out of his dream at the sound of a cry
from liis startled wife.—Philadelphia
Times.
An Austere Philosophy.
"Keep working," said Senator Sor
ghum earnestly. "Don't be discourag
ed by failure, but try, try again. Re
member that good old maxim 'Persist
ency's a Jewel.' "
"Arc you sure it's 'persistency?'" in
quired the young man mildly. "Isn't
It Von' instead of 'per?' "
"Well." lie answered thoughtfully,
"as life goes nowadays I suppose
there's got to he more or less Von' In It.
Hut it isn't considered polite to lay too
much stress upon it."—Exchange. _
THE POWER OF BEAUTY.
A Hurfrlar XVho Preferred a KIHM to
KecplUK the Snaff,
"I fancy," said a handsome woman
of 50 or more, "that there is as much
truth us poetry in what has been said
and Is being said about the power of
woman's beauty. Of course, It Is sup
posed that only poets know anything
about the matter, but I can bear testi
mony of a different sort, and It Is from
my own experience. When I was a
gifl of 20, I was really very pretty auil
I had no end of gay gallants dancing
attendance on me all the time, which
was some sign of the truth of my
statement, for I was neither very rich
nor very bright—just an ordinary, real
pretty gill; that was all. But the pow
er was there, though I was not con
scious of Its strength until after my
experience.
"I lived In a southern city of 25,000
people, and one night 1 attended a
dance a half dozen blocks from my
home and did not get back until 1
o'clock in the morning, my escort being
the gentleman who is now ray husband.
He proposed to me that night, and
when I came Into the house I fancy I
must have been prettier than I ever
was before, for I never was so happy.
The house was still, for the only people
in it, except two old servants away
back in the f., were my father and
mother, who had gone to bed hours
before. I slipped up stairs to my room
as quietly as a mouse and turning up
the gas I was confronted by a burglar,
who pointed a pistol at me and told me
not to make any noise or he would kill
me. I didn't faint, because 1 was so
happy that it Inspired me, I suppose,
and I stood still looking at liim. lie
looked at me, too, dressed In my best
gown and shining with a lot of jewels,
for our family had some line diamonds
and other things of ornament that had
descended to me, and like most south
ern girls I liked to wear them even
when It was not In the best taste.
" 'I wouldn't hurt as pretty a girl ns
you are for the world.' he said with a
bow; 'but I've got to have the shiners,
so Just take them off and hand them
over, while I pick up what I can find
lying around loose.'
"With trembling fingers I took off
my handsome jewels while he gathered
tip all he could find on tny dressing
case and put them in his pocket, keep
lug the pistol pointed at me. He was
not a bad looking man, and as I put out
my hand to Idui with the Jewelry In it
I smiled at hint, as frightened as I was,
and asked him if he wouldn't go right
away. But he did not take the jewelry
and he did not go away. He simply
stared at me in undisguised admiration
and took out of his pockets the trinkets
he had gathered from the dressing case.
" 'lf you will excuse me, miss, for
impertinence,' he said, 'l'll say. to you
that you are the prettiest girl I ever
saw In my life, and 1 always did ad
mire pretty girls. I hate to rob you like
this, and if you will let me kiss you,
just ou your cheek where it is pinkest,
I'll leave everything else and take only
tin' remembrance of that ns a reward
for tills night's job.'
"This time I did almost faint, but I
tried to be strong and succeeded so
well that I kept my wits. It was some
thing dreadful to be kissed by a bur
glar. but he was so respectful and real
ly did admire me, and besides 1 was
saving several thousand dollars' worth
of Jewels, so I didn't say a word, but
just turned my cheek toward him. He
took off his cap. bent forward, touched
me on the cheek with his lips and stood
back with his pistol in his hand.
" 'Now, If I may trouble you to go to
the front door with me,' he said, 'so
that if anybody should see mi' coming
out it will not cause liny remarks, I
will relieve you of my presence, which,
I assure you, would never have occur
red hail I known as much as I know
now.'
"I thought I never could do it. but I
did. and I stood In the door till lie dis
appeared around the corner; then I col
lapsed utterly, and the night watch
man found me there 15 or 20 minutes
afterward and roused the house. By
the time I knew enough to tell any
tiling the burglar was far, far away.
The slory got into tlje papers, of course,
and in a week or two 1 received a note
of regret from my burglar, postmarked
Cincinnati, which was the only clew
we ever linil of hlni. But the kissing
part of the story was not printed. I
kept that to myself, anil the first per
son to whom I told it was my husband,
and lie was gallant enough to say that
the burglar had got the better part of
the bargain."—New York Sun.

A KNOWING FROG.
Th, Novel Manner In Which He 9c
cnrcH Mcnl of rile.
"One of the most knowing little ani
mal (icts I ever had is a frog about
half grown," said a well known artist
the other day to a reporter. "I made
the jumper's first acquaintance one
morning two weeks ago, when he hop
ped from the garden through an open
French window Into my studio, where
his frequent dally visits afford me
much amusement during Idle moments.
He Is so tnme that he will take worms
from my fingers and perch upon my
hand like a bird and sing and croak
as long us I choose to hold him.
"As an illustration of the little fel
low's cunning, I wns one morning feed
ing my favorite eat with a saucer of
bread and milk, all of which pussy did
not eat. The food that the eat left
soon attracted quite a number of files.
The observant frog noticed this, and,
hopping Into the saucer, he rolled over
and over until he wns fairly covered
with a batter of bread and milk, hav
ing done which be lay perfectly mo
tionless and awaited developments.
The files, enticed by the prospect of n
good meal, soon began to circle around
the scheming batraehian, and when
one passed within two Inches or so of
his nose Ills tongue darted out and the
fly disappeared. The plan worked so
well that the frog makes a regular
business of rolling himself In the cat's
left over dinner.
"One day I wanted to paint him in
a picture and tried to take a profile
view. Hut he evidently had a dislike
to being sketched, for whenever I
placed him in the right position he
would lioi) around so as to face me
and then go on my drawing paper.
Then I would put him on a plate with
some water so that M might he more
comfortable. This plan answered very
well as far as keeping him off the pa
per went, but when 1 turned the plate
so as to get a side view be hobbled
around and would face me. Then I
tried edging around the table, but with
the snme result, so that I wns obliged
to hold him sideways while I drew
him. Hut whenever I raised my head
to look at him he rftlsed Ills, too, and
lowered It again when 1 began to paint,
and so we went on nodding at 'oneh
other like two Chinese mandarins."
A Schpnir Tlint Failed.
With a market basket filled with
pieces of bank and treasury notes an
old woman, who said she lived in Cani
den, appeared at the subtreasury and
stnted that wanted the bits of mon
ey redeemed, says the Philadelphia
Record. It required only n hasty ex
amination for the officials to determine
that the pieces of notes were all from
the edges and cornet's of bills of va
rious denominations.
The woman was asked how she be
came possessed of the pieces, which
Information she failed to give. Then
she was bluntly told that the govern
ment would allow her nothing for the
remnants of money, because It was
plainly evident that the pieces were
all clipped from whole notes. This the
woman dented, yet she was obliged to
go away without receiving passable
cash for her offering.
The ofilcinls found that, though there
were corners and edges from S2O, .$lO,
$."), $2 and $1 notes, there wns not a
piece of a center In the entire collec
tion, so that It would In* impossible
to make even one bill by pasting pieces
together. There were enough hits,
however, to equal a hundred notes in
size. Judging from the paper and
style of notes, it had required about 20
years to collect the pieces.

merits the .distinction quite as much as

NUN'S TRAGIC DEATH.
Emld Her Life bj- Jumping Into the
Seu.
New York. Aug. 27.—A chapter of
tragic ami pathetic features was the voy
age of L'Aquitaine, the French liner,
from N*w York to Havre and back again
to New York. The steamship arrived
here on her return trip , with 1,040 pas
sengers
One of the second cabin passengers
who boarded the vessel nt Havre wns a
beautiful but sad faced English woman.
Miss Margaret Minnehnn. She jumped
overboard early last Thursday. The
body was recovered with a little life still
in it, but Miss Minnehnn died in the
ship surgeon's arms.
Miss Minnehnn was 3(1 years old. She
was not in good health when she went on
board and became the patient of Dr.
Potel, I/Aquitaine's surgeon. She had a
hallucination that she was being perse
cuted. The woman, who was tall and of
fine figure, left her room on the star
board side of tile promenade deek at 0
a. in. on Thursday. She was fully dress
ed and wore a large hat. She carried a
satchel. To a fellow passenger the wo
man remarked:
"Watch and you will see something
sensational today."
Sin- handed a dollar to n steward and
said in French: "This is for you. Y'ou
have been very attentive."
Crossing the promenade deck, Miss
Minnehnn slung the satchel overboard
amidships. She quickly climbed the rail
and followed the satchel, crossing her
self as she plunged headlong.
Captain Simon put the vessel about,
and Second Lieutenant Bourdenux with
six sailors quickly dropped into a life
boat. They picked up the woman, who
was unconscious, and raised her in a
sling to tlie deck. Dr. Potel tried to re
store her. but Miss Minnehnn died as ho
was treating her.
One of tlie saloon passengers said that
the woman had confided to a fellow trav
eler that sin* had been a nun in Eng
land, but had fallen in love with n young
man and renounced the veil to marry
him. Her lover was a false wooer, and
she had lied from her home to begin
again a life of consecration.
