There was a time when the National Union' of Welsh Societies was under suspicion of advocating the policy of "Wales for the Welsh." That is not so to-day.. In a circular issued by Arthen, the general secretary," one of the points emphasised is "Gorea'r byd i Gymru a goreu Cymru'r byd." (The best of the world for Wales and the best of Wales for the world), an unexcep tionable motto, and one well. worth aiming at. There are some circular, and it would be well if very valuable suggestions in this the various societies take a note of them. Among these are: More attention at election times to matters peculiarly Welsh, and the addressing of meetings in Welsh' by Parliament-

ONE SLEEPS.

It has been sugested that it would be better for the world if we all did a little more duy-dreaming.

Commenting on the opinion of celebrated American, chemist, that a substance will be found to take the place of sleep, a physician writes to the Daily Mail that the framing of such an hypothesis reveals how waving is the attitude of mankind in regard to the great boon of deep.

A large portion of mankindre gard the hours spent in sleeping as either lost hours or as a kind of go ing into dock for repairs. They consider that the brain is lying "dead" during those hours in which it is producing no conscious work.

This idea is entirely erroneous, for the one point in psychology which is being more and more em phased as research proceeds is that the mind never sleeps completely, Behind the dulled fore-mind is a sphere of quiet activity. It is in this latter at the arranging the storing, the co-ordination of now ledge gathered during the waking hours takes place.

The berin canot do everything at once, and we may bazarda guess that many of the bright ideas which come first thing in the morning have bean really fashioned during the night, and bubble up to the surface immediately the fore-mind rayyakes...

Putting side all questión: el fati- que, repair, and need for oblivion, we actually grin by sleep: "Take counsel with your pillow," Sleep on it, bave evolved from the experien ce of mankind, and the morning's attitude towards yesterday's pro blem is not altogether dependent upon the facing of it with a fresh mind. It is the coming to meet it with a prepared mind.

It is in dreams, automatic writ. ing, and the mind's pictures during any-dreams that the real man or woman is often to be found.
