A CASE OF DGLIRIuM TREMENs a
good story is to d about "A chap that was
made to believe he had the d-Iirium tr+
mems. He had periodical drinking troi

aud remained ST. for weeks together, when
he would come out Snher, and keep as
straight Ms n string tor Il long time. His
friend. determined TO break this up it
possible. They told him he was in i'm.
n,inent danger of delrium trrnens. Tie
did not believe them, but he promised to
reform.
One night they found him in he'd very
drunk ! hey caught huge rat, and fas
tening themselves up with IT in his room ,
let it run as soon ~ he began to get sober
enough to- know what he was about
They then reused him, and persuaded
him to get up aud dress. Scarcely had he
commenced before his rat>h'p srainIrrth
over the fl ,0r. He hated rats intense V.
Sober in IA moment, and intent only upon
k ling The creature, he was in hot pursuit
with bootjaak. breathing our threaten
ings and : anahter. While this chase
was at its hight, hl$ friends used ever,
argument to persuade him that the rat
was Il mere phantom of the brain-an il
msion Of the Invisible spirit of wine-in
short, one nf the terrible ha .ucinations of
delirIun treirrns.
But he paid llrlle heed to this, unit
suddenly he missed the rat, one of his
friends having dexterous Y ct it escape
from the door. Then turning SLOWLY to-
ward them with ghaS'ly laugh swelling
from his throat, he jumped mt" bed, say
