Your Cosmos. According to the dictionary I con- sult most frequently, the cosmos is de- fined as “the world or universe consid- ered as a system, perfect in order and arrangement.” Any definition is really a short cut. So it might be well simply to say that the word cosmes means or: ganization as opposed to disorganiza- tion. The idea of perfection is of minor importance. Whatever this definition may or may not mean to you, the plain fact is that each of you has some sort of a per- sonal cosmos. Each of you has a gen- eral notion of the scheme of thinzs from thes mallest grass blade up to the largest mountain. I say ‘“notion” for the simple reason that your cosmos exists only in your mind. There are as many ideas about a cosmos as there are people who are capable of putting experiences in ‘order, who possess the ability to “see life steadily and see it whole,” or, more properly speaking, who see things more or less steadily and | more or less as a whole. I have yet to meet the person who has a perfectly arranged cosmos. The world of ex-| panding experience is really too vast to “stay put.” Some people get their cosmic idea too early and suffer all their lives with that rather common mental disorder called narrow-mindedne: They confine the universe to themselves and their imme- Others frame up a t0o rigid cosmol- They. see | | i | still others get the habit of attempt- | there are bathrobes that might be worn | ing to force what ought to be considered | over a bathing suit; lounging robes that | might be worn for evening wraps, and hostess gowns or tea gowns that might | pre .| and annoying their friends with wha be taken for dance or dinner dresses.

The Sidewalks We have just been told of a lawsuit and he too was awakened by an un- that was begun before the Civil War, the dispute being over the amount of interest due on borrowed money. The sum was $8. The difference of opinion between the litigants was 4 cents, one figuring_the amount of interest $8.08 cents, the other $8.12. A suit was in stituted to recover the 4 cents diffe! ence. After 78 yea the interest had increased to $1,800, besides the fees in- cident to the prosecution and defense of the claim. During that time both principals and the first lawyers in the case died. e G. H. F. writes: “Supposing a person can count 200 in a minute, then an heur will produce 12.000; a day, 288,000; and a year 105,120,000 If, therefore, Adam had begun to count a billion, it would have required 9,512 years, 34 days, 5 hours and 20 minutes.” ©f course if he had speeded up a bit toward the last, he might have eliminted the 20 minutes. * Facts are curious things, even if they have no direct influence on the hap- piness of our lives. For example, any number of figures you may wish to multiply by 5 will give the result if divided by 2—a much quicker oper- ation; but you must remember to add a cipher to the answer where there is no_ remainder, and where there is a remainder, what- ever it may be, to annex & 5 to the answer. _ Multiply 464 by 5 and the answer will be 2,320; divide the same number by 2 and you have 232, and as there is no remainder, you add a cipher. Now take 399, multiply by 5 and the answer is 1995; dividing this by 2 there is 199 and a regainder; you therefore place 5 at the end of the line and the result is again 1,995. * % Kk Whether dreams have any significance has agitated ‘explorers of these phe- nomena for centuries. Strange things do happen when one is asleep. Two brothers were sleeping one night in the same room, but in different beds, in the home of a deceased person. In the course of the night one of them had a very distinct and vivid dream. He thought he saw the deceased person, a man of prominence in his day, who had been dead for about 18 years, walk up from the street to the gate, heard him open the gate, ascend the steps of the porch, open the front door and step into the hall. The impression upon the mind of the dreamer was so vivid and the identity of the ghostly visitor was so unmis- takable, that the sleeper was awakened at the moment of the former's stepping into the hall. The strangest part now comes. The other brother awoke a few minutes later BY THORNTON FISHER. of Washington |usually vivid dream. When the two came to compare notes it was found that the second brother had seen the same deceased man, but had first heard him the moment he | | stepped_into the hall, had heard him | ascend the stairs, open the door oi the | room in which the two were sleeping | and seen him enter and gaze upon them, |at which point the life-like distinctness |of the apparition disturbed his repose.

His family knew that he had received i the money, but had no idea where | it could have been hidden. A vigor- ous search was in- stituted throughout the house, but no trace of the funds found. It was thought that the money was lost forever. ‘That samxe hebvc- {ning_a nel or, 1»\'ht‘)ghld beeg well acquainted with the | deceased, retired as usual and had a | singular dream.

The dream impressed the neighbor so strongly that early in the morning | he informed the widow of the circum- | stances, and, accompanied by her, visited the cellar. The pile of rubbish was discovered, and, upon being scraped away, it revealed to their astonished vision an old box. The cover was forced off with some difficulty and the contents dropped out. There was the sum of $200. concealment. * e % The son of a certain woman was em- ployed in a store which had been robbed. Some days before the arrest of the guilty party the mother was awakened by a dream which gave her such a strong presentiment that some- thing was wrong that, in the dead hour of the night, she went to the bedroom | of her son and told him of her dream and fears, The young chap denied everything. but the mother was so posi- tive that she even searched his pockets, finding more money that he shoulé or- dinarily have possessed. He could give her no_satisfactory account of how he came by the money. which only in- creased her fears. The son was ar- rested, and finally admitted his guilt. Milk Needs Much Care, But Provides Good Food Some housewives seem to think that when they have gkt the best milk, and subscribed to a State and local ad- ministration that carries out wise milk regulations, they have done their share toward making sure that the milk used in their homes is safe and wholesome. They forget that the best milk in the world may be rendered unwholesome through careless handling within the home. They forget that it is just as impor- tant that all dishes used to hold milk inside the house shouid be carefully scalded and cleaned as those that con- tain milk in dairies and distributing stations. They forget that even the best milk contains sufficient bacteria to make it unwholesome if it is not kept at a tem- perature below that at which bacteria may develop readily. To do your share in this important matter of making your own milk safe, keep track of the milkman's arrival. & he comes affer the sun is up be sure 1 to take the milk in at once so that it does not stand in the rays of the sun. In very cold weather milk should be as carefully watched to see that it does not freeze. For although the process of freezing and then thawing does not favor bacterial development, this spoils the flavor and makes it less easily di- gested. Young children or persons with delicate digestion should never be given milk that has gone through the freezing and melting _process. ‘When a milk bottle is received in your house, rinse it off or wipe it off thoroughly, to remove dust that may have-settled on the bottle, Thep, too, remember that milk that has once been poured out of the bottle should never be poured back in again. Milk poured out and not used immedi- ately should be used only when it will receive thorough cooking. And of course always replace the caps on the top of milk bottles. If the cap is lost use several thicknesses of oil paper secured with a subber band. ' If the milk is to be fed to babies it 15 safe to use sterilized cotton for such a stopper. | and_jail, | path, at every turn; we gather wisdom | learn, LITTLE BENNY | | BY LEE PAPE.

While growing old a man will learn some useful lessons, if he's sane; a lot of errors he will spurn, a lot of knowl- edge he will gain. The thoughtful and observant gent will learn that honesty is best; he will not take a tainted cent to put down in his treasure chest. He knows it’s fine to have a fame at being straighter than a string; the man who plays a righteous game is fit to walk with any king. He learns, by watching people drift to poorhouse, pauper grave that it is wise to practice thrift, to save a portion of his kale. So he abandons spendthrift ways, and puis the helpful kopecks by, and in life's sere and wintry days he has good store of luscious pie. He learns that words from bitter tongue are but a vain and vicious thing: he may be pardoned when he’s young for shedding words which have & sting: but as he older, wiser grows, he guards his tonsue with jealous care, for freinds are better far than foes, he'd rather hear men laugh than swear. He notes that work’s a sovereign cure for many of the woes and ills that men impatiently endure- better than the patent pills. The worst complaints are mostly made by men who have no work to do, who loaf and linger in the shade, while neighbors saw and dig and hew. The man who has an urgent chore has little time to brood and fret about the ills that make men sore who never bathe their brows in sweat. So we grow wiser as we wend along life's to the end, if we, have sense enough to ‘WALT MASON. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Pears. Hominy with Cream. Poached E,;,(‘zs DINNER. Cream of Potato Soup.

Whenever a woman begins to com- plain about motoring costs or the de- fects of her particular make of car, be- gin to assume that her expense is po: sibly due to neglect rather mechanical defect. The amount we pay annually on repair bills is stupendous, and in many cases equal to the de- preciation on the car itself. Tires, for example, are not a matter of luck but a matter of care. If you buy tires from fresh stock, and if those tires are of first quality, and of good manufacture, there is no reason for any but minor tire trouble. If one does not notice that air pressure is low until the shoe is resting on the rims or if one makes a practice of scraping curbs, tire trouble and expense may be expected. Overloading our car will not improve the tires either, nor will jamming the brakes on for sudden stops prolong their life. ‘When brakes require relining pre- maturely it is futile to blame it on the lining_itself. In one or two instances cars have been put out with inferior brake lining, but by and large few cars require relining for a few years.

Comfort and Beauty in Living Room BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER = e COMFORT AND DAINTINESS MUST BE COMBINED IN THE FURNISHINGS OF THE ROOM TO SUIT BOTH A MAN AND WOMAN. Furnishing a home so that it will be comfortable for the man of the house is the wish of every home-loving wife, whether she is a little newly wed bride or an experienced housewife. The rooms as a whole cannot be dainty. This expresses the eternal femining, or it used to. Nowadays some women ape men’s attire, attitudes and manners so that femininity is strangely lacking. A woman of this type has to guard against making her home too masculine in the character of its furnishings, for most men delight in a certain amount of femininity eyen in decorations. It will be seen, then, that there must be a consideration of proper relative proportions in a successfully decorated house for the man to be well pleased Unless he is, he is not comfortable—nor is the wife likely to be either. It takes comfortable surroundings to put a mar at ease so that he enjoys his home. It is for the wife to study furniture and furnishings so that the equation be- tween the masculine and hte efminine type of decoration is satisfactory. A living room should combine sturdi- ness in furniture with beauty in the tex- tiles of hangings, drapery fabrics and similar features of furnishings. A re- ception’ room may be dainty, with French decoration stressed. This room is one the man of the house is never attracted to. * The living room is the one he wants to have suit his special preferences, not to the exclusion of the wife’s, but to their joint liking. A den, study or special room for the man, by whatever narfe it is called, is the room where masculinity reigns. ‘The average house, however, seldom has such a room, | a-garnish for the living room is supposed to sup- ply the man’s needs and to be furnished u;!.sun his comfort quite as much as the wife's. For this reason there should always be one or more chairs of the type known as men's chairs.

If the former it may be gay in red o1 pupholstery is subdued and of wool Silk or satin damask, are not used. ‘These are either too feminine in their beauty or too delicate in their texture.

CRAIG, September 28, 1861.—There was in- tense excitement in the city today when it was learned that a few brigades of Gen, McClellan's army had advanced an average of 3 miles from their posi- tions on the Virginia side of the Poto- mac River. Many persons construed the movement as the beginning of a march “on to Richmond.” Inquiry at military headquarters, however, disclosed the fact that such rumors were without any foundatior. For two days it has been evident that the considerable Confederate forces which Gen. Beauregard has kept for some weeks on his extreme front, ex- tending from a point opposite the Chain Bridge to Endsalls Hill below Alexan- dria, has Tetired at least out of sight of the Union Army’s points of observa. tion, leaving only a few pickets behind. It, therefore, became necessary for Gen. McClellan to determine how far back Gen. Beauregard’s main force had gone. He sent out a few brigades for that purpose and it was this movement that gave rise to the false rumors. According to reports received here unofficially tonight these brigades found no Confederates in the works at Up- tons, Munsons, Masons and Endsalls Hills, A few straggling Confederate pickets were seen to leave these posi- tions in the face of the Union advance. This situation seems to indicate that the previous change of position on the part of the Confederate army was a general one, but its purpose is unknown, at least so far as the public has been able to ascertain. It is doubtful whether Gen. McClellan has yet been able to discover the real intention of his opponent. ‘Washington tonight is full of theorfes to account for the apparent retrograde movement of the Confederates. One is that Gen. Beauregard is concentrat- ing his forces on the Potomac River in the vicinity of Otcoguan, Va., with the intention of making an attack on the Union left. This is given some color by the known fact that the Confederate forces in that vicinity have been in- creased during the last few day: Another theory is that Beauregard is massing his troops in front of the Union right with the idea of attacking in_the near future. In military circles the theory which appears to be most generally held is that the Confederates are withdrawing on Manassas and that Gen. Beauregard hopes to induce Gen. McClellan to leave his intrenchments and give him battle there. NANCY PAGE Plans for Peter’'s Room Go on Apace. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HU: T PETERS, M. D. Dreams. “Dear Dr. Peters: What causes a person to dream continually at night? | As a rule I go to bed early and never eat before going to bed. Am healthy and have a good appetite. I sleep on my right side and have the window wide open. As soon as I fall asleep I | start to dream, and in the morning am able to tell everything that occurred during the night. DREAMER.” 1t is believed that dreams occur when the sleep is not very profound, and usu- ally just before awakening. Dreams that seem to extend over hours may really extend over & few moments. The will being dormant, and the imagina- tion vivid, dreams take on strange and grotesque characters. Analyzing the dreams is done by psychiatrists in certain cases to see what trend the mind takes when not under control, so as to get some inkling | of the cause of suppressed mental dis- | the conciusions | s | the roots is electrolysis. Some _of the Freudian turbances. drawn by school of psychiatry seem as absurd as those given | in the old-fashioned superstitious dream book—and are believed to be as absurd | by _other schools of psychiatry! There is no doubt that we do dream about things that have been suggested some time, the day of the dream or| perhaps years back. For instance, the other day I read that Will Rogers said he saw a picture of Helen Wills in her official costume for presentation at the English court, and that he didn't like it. She should get. back into her tennis rompers as soon as possible and tell the Queen to call on her! That night I dreamed that the Queen asked for an audience with me, and what she wanted was to find out the caloric value of minced clam baked on the shell! I love to dream. I think it's lots of fun to trace them. I note that you can always relate your dreams. Don’t do that, D, if you don't want to dream. Anyway, they are usually & bore to others, don't you know? Uncomfortable dreams are usual due to discomfort from some cause. (Night terrors of children and night- mares are often caused by some physi- cal disorder.) If you are cold, you will dream of freezing, probably, and find that the covers have slipped off. If you are overeating before going to bed, | the wrong way. | | yowll have nightmare. If you're hun- gry, vou'll probably dream of food. How | many banquets I've dreamed of! And often some particular food stands out s | exceedingly desirable. The next day I have to have that food, if procurable, so great are the powers of suggestion. |I remember once when I was dieting great juicy slabs of roast beef featured very prominently. I analyzed my diet and found I had been getting insuffi- cient protein over a period I don’t imagine there is anything for you to worry about, D. “I am bothered with what are called wild hairs on my eyelids.
