A man fell asleep as the clock tolled
the first stroke of twelve. He awakened
ere the echo of the twelfth stroke had
died away, having in the interval dreamed
that he had committed crime. was
detected after five years, tried and con-
demned, the shock of finding the halter
about his neck aroused him into con-
seriousness, when he discovered that all
these events had happened in an infini-
tesimal fragment of time. Mohammed,
wishing to illustrate the wonders OF sleep,
told how certain man, being sheik,
found himself for his pride made poor
fisherman, that he lived as one for sixty
years, bringing up a family and working
hard, and how, upon waking up from
his long dream, SO short q time had he
been asleep that the narrow-necked
gourd bottle filled with water, which he
had overturned as he fell asleep, had not
time to empty itself. How fast the soul
travels when the body is asleepl Often
when we awake we shrink from going
back into the dull routine of a sordid
existence, regretting the pleasanter life
of dreamland. How is it that sometimes,
when we go to a strange place, we fancy
that we have seen ii before Is it pos
sible that when one has been asleep the
soul has foated away. seen the place,
and has that memory of it which SO sur.
prises us ? In word, how far dual is

The Man I'm the Moon.

The disk of the moon, as is very APP
parent. is not of uniform brightness but
is diversified by dark areas here and
there. These dark areas are SO arranged
rs to represent the eyes, nose, and
mouth of human being, and the whole
disk represents passably we'll human
face. Not all people, however, can see
this resemblance. Some who can not
see the face can see man and woman
carrying between them bucket of
water. The man stands on the left side
of the disk, the woman on the right. To
some the dark spaces appear to have the
same shape AZ North and South America,
as if the Western Continent was re-
Elected in the moon.
The Tartars see none OF these, but
their "man in the moon" is wood
cutter, bearing ON his back n huge bun
die of wood and supporting himself with
staff The Japanese see the form of a
rabbit in sitting posture. His long
ears stand erect, and before him is a
large mortar. In his forepaws he holds
q pestle, with which he is grinding rice
after the manner of the japanese.
The Emperor Rodolph, who often OBJ
served the moon with the Astronomer,
Kepler, saw upon it the image of Italy.
The ancients recognized the resemblance
of the moon to the human face, for the
historian Plutarch wrote treatise con-
tradicting the vulgar idea. Great
fools, said he, 'are they who think
that they see face on the moon. That
which they think they see is an illusion.
1t is caused by fatigue of the eye, which
makes light and shade where there is
only uniformity"
How greatly he was mistaken was
shown afterwards, when the telescope
was invented. Under the powerful eye
of this instrument the surface of the
moon exhibits anything but uniformity.
1t equals in roughness the roughest por-
ton of the earth's surface. Huge noun
tain craters are scattered over the disk,
and within many of these are smaller
mountains. Deep chasms and high
ridges are abundant. From some of the
mountains long rays extend in every
direction like streams of lava.
The telescope dispels all those resem-
blances which are SO apparent to the
naked eye, but even with this aid not all
people see alike. One likens the moon
to a green cheese, while another thinks
it resembles body of water frozen over
with the rifles on its surface, and the
craters are air-holes In the ice. An
other smile, perhaps the most ridiculous
of ali, is that of pot of boiling mush,
the craters being the bubbles of air as
they come up and burst on the surface.
Some see only cold, desolate, dead
planet, incapable of supporting life OF
any kind, while others see valleys,
streams, canals and other characteristics
of mother earth. Cincinnati CONNER.

Mining Among Rats.

Working III the famous "Sutro fun
mel is no joke. The rats and bats have
it all their own way. The miner who
brings his lunch basket is not at all sure
that he will eat its contents. If he
leaves it for few moments, the rats eat
lunch and basket and all. Nor is his
chance for dinner much better if, in
stead of the basket, he takes the ordi-
nary tin kettle A party of rats will
steal kettle before it's owners eyes,
and roll it away down in u hole where no
man can follow them. They force the
lid of and devour the contents at their
leisure. There are millions of these rats,
and many of them are larger than kittens
and more muscular and rapacious.
The bats bother the lIiners and the
mules. When one big bat flies against a
miners face, and another bat equally AS
big flies Ill the face of that miners mule,
there is u complication of troubles. The
man cannot rec which way the mule is
going to kick, and the mule, who cannot
see either, kicks ut random, and is apt
to hit the man where the bat hit him.
The bats are almost as large, as numer-
GUS and as powerful as rats.
For man TO have his dinner stolen
by rats, then to be hit by bat, and
kicked by mule, is combination of
infelicities calculated to make him wish
himself at work in almost any other
field of labor.

New.Fangled Contribution Box.

The latest thing originated byclhlrches
to call the wandering sinner home from
the land of dreams, as the contribution
box is being passed, is an electric attach
ment TO the bottom of the box. The
sexton goes around with the box, and if
sinner is asleep or looking the other
way, the box is placed against his hand,
or ear, or nose, or bald head, or anywhere
that the flesh can be touched. You know
what tingling sensation is given when
you touch an electric battery. Well,
this is the same, only more so, and when
a man is once touched with it he remem-
bers where he is forever after They
tried it in Boston church last Sunday,
and touched sleeping deacon on the
nose. He threw his head back, struck a
woman in the pew back of him, who was
standing up to take off her cloak, in the
stomach, and then the man struck the
sexton, and the womans escort struck
the man whose head hit his wife, and
there was terrible time, but after it was
explained the man put half dollar IN
the box. -Peck's San.

Turkeys Decay.

Only two generations ago the posses
sions of Turkey ran from the River
Pruth to Cape Matapan, and, barring
Russia, it was the largest empire in Eu-
rope. But Turkey has been extensively
carved and bled since that time. Little
Greece was cut off in the south, and set
up housekeeping for itself; then Servia
and Roumania were cut off in the north.
Since Turkeys last war with Russia
Austria has appropriated Bosnia and
Herzegovina; Bulgaria gained in fact its
independence; Eastern Roumelia a state
of emi-independence; and Servia, Rou-
mania and Montenegro were enlarged by
several slices of Turkey. This left Tur-
key in Europe one of the smallest Euro
pean. states. So far Turkey has lost
two-thiris of her European possessions.
The European population of Turkey has
dwindled down from twenty to five mill.

writer that SO far as he knew there never
had been n single case of man cured
of inebriacy at the asylum, unless there
was some wife, mother OF sister, or fe-
male friend, who had chung to him
through evil report and good report, who
had suffered for him patiently and per-
sistently, and 10y her suffering love had
kept him anchored to purity, truth. rec

to suffer for loves sake the penalty
which III justice belongs to him. Such
suffering for others sake is the heroism
of life, and itris not uncommon.

Prof. Brewer, of Washington College,
Pa, communicates to the American
Journal of Science and Arts the result
OF some experiments made by him ON
climbing vines-the hop, the Lima bean
and the morning glory. He finds that
they will climb around transparent
glass pipe just as we'll as anything else,
and they are most ardent in their en-
braces when the pole is warmer than the
surrounding air. During the day the
vine is attracted toward the light, but at
night, and especially on cold nights, it
turns to the pole. He learns, also, that
the color of the pole makes no difference;
the caressing instinct of the vine has no
prejudice against any shade. The ele-
ment of constancy Is very largely de-
veloped, the vine, after it has reached
the pole, showing much stronger ten
dency to wind around it than it did be-
fore TO reach it.
1t is, doubtless, true that bean will
climb around glass pipe as freely as
anything else but, as hint to practical
men, ii may be said here that a vine
will make much greater progress when
it has n rough stick to climb around
than it will when the stick is smooth.
The vine cannot adhere to the smooth
pole, and spends its force in trying to
hold ON. On rough stick it finds sup
port, and, as in the case of some beans,
reaches the top much sooner than other
wise. Another thing is, that grape
vines and all vines grow much more
rapidly with stake to cling to than
without one. If one has choice vine
which it is desired should run up quick
ly, stake it at once.
