D WITH ALL THE BRAN OF THE WHOLE WHEAT DREAMS I most sincerely wish I had not let loose on an unsuspecting and mere - fleeting public the trifling incident of the doctor's lament over -my supposed condition; and my refusal of his court- ly overtures to be allowed to do what he thought he could towards the am- elioration of my distressful state. It is well for the doctor that I did not reveal his 'identity. He desired am- bush, I accommodatingly l provided 'it (in what form I will not say) and the doctor , ambuscadedz, hirnself in it, af- ter exacting a proriise from me that his raiding place would never be known' to' mortal ken, through any revelations. of Mine. Thirteen dream ridden persons lrane already interrogated ane as to who .the doctor was; they were after his dream denying pills. These thirteen foolish: persons., did not want to dream. They. did not fancy nocturnal recreation and revel, they prefer 'to sleep: o' nights... They actually, desired to re- main dead, 7 to 9 hours every twi- light of their Hives.- I cannot account for this low state ,of mentality which dreads dreams, ,and calls aloud for a temporary embalment. It is neverthe- less a very common , one. Sleep is indeed a good, and a very necessary thing; dreams are of the nature of luxuries. All of us like luxuries and if the only ln-ct ries we can have are the dream -gifted ones, we ought to thank our dreams for their benefit= ienco and always bid them cal,: g a 'sin: Y They bring their treasuretr•ove with them, overwhelm us with riches, and, thougln they invariably make a retir- ing recollection of the gifts given us, they leave us with a profession of. thanksgiving on our ,lips and a feel- ing of thankfulness in our hearts that usually lingers until decomposition with a hastening or coyish urge ac- complishes its nemesis, Even so called bad dreams, _ I maintain are good for us, they can. hurt only our lower and nieanc• sus- ceptibilities, and in hurting those they. dodeeds of kindness to us, In some of our dreams, when we are being terribly punished, we may think nale- volence is over -reaching itself, that we are getting more -than ought real- ly tot' becoming to us, but mature reflection, should convince us this is not so. Dreams are really never cruel they are always kind. .They are cor- rective, they reveal things to ,us' in their proper perspective. They show us just what niceness is, what' cruelty is, what deceit and wickedness are, and we ought to feel indebted to then for discovering these thine for 'us. Dreams are a combination of real- ism and shadow -shows; theyare at once transparent aid opague; en- lightening and mistifying; contradic- tory, yet superbly coalescent. Strange- ness in dreams is only revealed at. their post-mortem. Nothing invades a dream that really shouldn't be ,in it. Whatever happens in a dream is natural, and.,ea-pectabl:e, There is no' astonishment in •dreams, everything is matter of fact, •oi,din;aiy 'believable, comerch•endable. A dream is a true kind of nnytlh,1 a,•nmrsery tale that has ,attained : adultnsess, without growing old.

Dreams equip- ped with return tickets will, sooner or later come back, before the iTicle- finiteavailability of their tickets rias expired, but of course always at their' leisure's. pleasure. 'Those dreams on the other hand, travelling on a one- rway ticket endowed with a pioper sense of •their own importance, \yill usually regard their revelations as so sufficingly impressive as to require but a single enactment. These quite rightly consider that repetition would be .redundant and altogether use- less as well as unnecessary.

Of all the birds which can be seek -n the nor'ther'n lochs of Seotlend, the common almoner Or wild swan s among the most handsome: It is a regular winter visitor to the western sles, and is seen at itle beat and in greatest abundance on the inland waters situated there. The breeding -grounds of those that ; o to Scotland are almost certainly situated in Iceland. and '`inland, though some may come from remote Sp;tzbergen, and. thither; in March or April our winter visitants proceed, and ,join in great flocks with those which have passed the winter on the open waters of the coast. Like Fin- land, Iceland is admirably Melted to a,, bird ;with the p ' swan. Every pairs -wants a looh to themselves, and in both these coun- tries the lochs, or, as they, would be called in the Highands,:.lochans, are almost without number. The swans' build tbeir nest on a small island, or, if there 'is no island, on a spit of land ora parr of the loch shore which is sufficiently marshy to be difftcul.t of approach,- there piling pp ;a.platform of the twigs of the willow and scrub birch, intermingled with moss' and grass. A pair return to the sane nest year after year, and if any interloper has tried to take possession, will fight for:• their property. The question, of . bwnership' being settled, the pair"set about renovating the old nest, which thusgrows in size from year • to ;year; until . it often reaches the height, of two• or three feet. On the top of this, on a fresh layer of moss," the creamy white eggs are deposited. They are hatched out about the middle. of. June, and the ;young: noes, are ready to fly before the rigor: of the Arctic winter locks up their h.onie supply. of food. •lie wild swan may line for half a ee tory. He does not take a male till his third year,: and when he dces, is said to mate for lite. These baron- derful birds feed chiefly on. vegetable substances„ as the seeds and roots of aquatic . plants, but also on Ash ,spawn, of Which they: are said to be great` destroyers. They have a hissing note'like geese, which they emit when offended, and deal tremendous blows with their wings in attacks, or defence. The ancients 'called the swan the Bird of . Apollo or of Orpheus, and ascribed to it remarkable musical powers, which it was. supposed to ex- ercise . particularlywhen its death approached. About a century ago the wild swan used to breed in the Ork- ney Islands. There was a time when swans v. ere used asfood in this coun- try and were served up at every great Bast, and' old books. are very par- ticular . in directions how to prepare and nook them. in the United Church from April 14th to 18th.

He mace, history on the links some years ago by playing ,a rnateh with a prom- inent miners' leader, and has always been a staunch upholder of the demo- cracy of golf. The Prince of Wales has already been captain of the Royal. and Ancient, and successfully faced the ordeal of playing himself into of- fice by`driving off from the first tee.

Beloalgs to .iflaeki'oot Indians, Now In National Musenur. Though 11 still belongs to the Blackfoot Indians, an old, weather beaten, painted, buffalo skull, part of the altar of the Sun Dance Lodge, the moat sacred institution to tribes- men of the old faith, has been taken to the National Museum in Ottawa.'• Nothing connected withthe lodge could be given or sold to auyone,;the Indians said, And when Mr. Harlan I. Smith, Dominion archaeologist, asked them if they would not Like to see some monument to their old days: in a great fireproof stone building; guarded by a policeman, and open to the public every day, they agreed that they would. They explained that they were powerless in the matter; It just could not be done. Then the interpreter had an idea.. "Suppose you want it, you take •It" he said. "But maybe you have bad luck." Mr. Smith took it, after having made sure from three different sources that he would not offend the susceptibilities -of even the oldest In- dian on the reserve. They did not object to having the skull preserved. They were, in fact, eager for it, as ceremonies connected with the old re- ligion are now illegal, and punishable by imprisonment. ' ,The old lodges .are rapidly decay- ing: Long ago the Sun Dante was the most important festival in the life of the Blackfeet: It occurred during` midsummer. when those who had received answers to -.prayers ut- tered in grave •danger took, vows to perform in the dance as a sacrifice to the spirits which had saved them. Societies of both men and ,.women, similar to lodges among white men, took turns_ at the dance which was usually conducted with•ai accompan- iment of self-imposed torture, while the worshipper danced with: his' or her face turned Upward to the sun. Periods of fasting and purification preceded the dance when the war - shippers prepared themselves to meet the spirits fittingly MOST POPULAR •TYPE. Q'aznpaign to Popularize Cheese Throughout Empire. ' The Empire P"'nrketing Board of Great Britain heti recently carried out an inquiry into what types of, cheese were most popular in London, England. The object was to gather information for a campaign to popu- larize cheese throughout the Empire, Cheddar cheese continues to he themost popular :'type of cheese made, mainly because it is cheap. Cheshire cheese is not so popular with the masses. :In London it is stocked chiefly in the more affluent residential districts. The demand for Stilton, too, is falling off. Many gro- cers only sell Stilton at Christmas now. I The Jews are great eaters of Dutch cheese, particularly the Gonda variety, but there is general agre=e- ment among grocers that Dutch cheese is- not so popular now as it was twenty years ago. The fancy of res- taurant goers runs to Gorgonzola, though it is not a popular household cheese. In these days of small families and labor-saving devices the innovation of processed cheese, packed in car- tons and divided into small portions, has caught the public fanny. The grocers like it, and no doubt push the sales, because they is no Wast,,, and no overcutting. The housewife likes it because it saves trouble and keeps fresh for some time in the store eupboard. These are advan- tages, but to the taste of many 111, processing and the silver pee,. wrapping banishes any subtlety nit del!flavor in cheese that professes to be a Most 01y. the :imported Cheddar comes front New Zealand during the first six months of the year, and from Canada during the latter part of the year.
