W’ DREAM all the time we are asleep. The only dream we remember is the one in the mind at the moment of waking up. So a New York physician told an audience the other afternoon. de familiar to all people everywhere. These are the dream of falling, falling a frightful distance | and waking up just before the awful moment of landing; the dream of being out in the snow without enough clothing; and the dream of running hard to escape some terrible pursuer until the dreamer fs utterly exhausted. } Most people could eupply a variation to the second type in the @hepe of a dream where among properly clothed people one finds | one’s self with bare feet or worse. | The doctor eaid the so-called premonitory dream has no real | value. With such millions of dreamers, it is not strange one soime- | times dreams something that really happens. Few people will agree with him there. Almost every one has| fm his immediate experience some case of extraordinary fulfilment | of dream that he will never allow to be coincidence. And after the event has happened it is wonderful how much clearer and more cir eumstantial the foregoing dream becomes each time he tells it. | How short dreame really are, aa compared with the length of | time they seem to cover, is shown by the story of a Frenchman who | was awakened by @ bedpost falling across his neck. By the time| he was awake he had dreamed through the whole French Revolu- tion in a series of situations and scenes which ended in his being Deheaded on the guillotine—the latter suggested, of course, by the Dedpost! Dreams are eternally elusive and therefore fascinating. But Hittle faith need be put in them. They bear stamp of their char- ecter in their name, which in its old German form meant “deceive.” ——-—- +4 BEARDS. MAN’S WHISKERS may be worth $20,000 for their respectability, according to testimony in the trial of a firm of mine promoters. Another old instinct not quite dead. The venerableneas of whiskers and beard was commonly recognized in ancient times and for long afterward. Moses and all the prophets and patriarche had enormous beards. Shaving wus a aign of shame or intense griof. The older Greek heroes, poeta and lawgivers—Homer, Socrates, Pericles, Demosthenes—were always bearded. The Romane were mainly clean shaven, eave their very old men. The older Germans wore thick, rough beards. In Medineval France the same habit prevailed, though in slighter and more barbered forms. The earlier kings and nobles of England were usually bearded. But for the past two centuries the beard has been slowly losing its former dignity. No one misses it in portraits of Washington or Daniel Webster. It was long considered desirable, however, in cer- tain professions. Not long ago every young doctor felt he must grow « beard in order to inspire confidence. To-day the old prejudice is almost entirely gone. Statesmen, clergymen, doctors, financiers are oftencr smooth shaven than bearded. The United States Suprome Court can show only two real beards. ‘ For a bearded or be-whiskered show of Tespectability $20,000 $m these days would seem ® very fancy price. : ——— +++ _ — GUM.
