The Story Telling Ficnd.


The Nebraska Slatc Jo,TRaj says:
There is no more disagrecable man than
the one who always wants to tell story.
When he is permitted to unfold a nara
tive he generally digresses so widely that
it would take civil engineer to keep
track of the thread of the story, but he
wanders laboriously along and stumbles
over himself, and twists the epilogue Of
the story into the dialogue. and finally,
in an enthusiastic dash, ushers in the
alleged joke, which is supposed to eX-
cuse the long and desolate preambles
Then the people are expected to laugh,
although they would prefer to cry. And
when it is all over the internal bore says:
'"Hhat reminds me of another story"
and he launches into a second wilder
ness of digressive chestnuts. and so on
until bloodshed results and the story
teller is gathered to his fathers,

S9mnam buliSm.

The phenomena Of somnambulism and
their connection with the nerve-centers
have not been satisfactorily accounted
for They probably depend primarily,
says the Ldqcet, upon directing inn
pulse of sensory origin. Some of our
actions often become by practice so
nearly automatic that partial Sleep or
stupor does not arrest their unconscious
performance. In somnambulism the in
tellect and controlling will are torpid,
while the sensori-motor man whom they
should govern is awake and active. As
in dreams the intelligent sensorium is
alone drowsily active, with possibly a
noticeable tendency to restless movement,
so there may be other states Of dreaming,
in which the cente.s of motion are stimu
lated to a more powerful but unconscious
action. Pa tial counteractiyes to som
nambulism may be found in throwing off
worries, and in the proper regulation of
evening meals. -Pq'ular S iencs Nonthiy.

Eating 100 Eggs at One Sitting.

At the Hoffman House last night a
party sat at a table in the art gallery
making wagers each on his own particu-
lar trick. A a young broker who spent
last summer with his grandmother in
Jersey, won a pocketful of greenbacks
on a trick taught him by the good old
lady. He had lost considerable money
on catch bets when he offered to wager
any one in the party that he could eat
more eggs than any other three men
present, providing he was permitted to
have the last turn. A doctor, coroner
and bank teller took the bet After a
brief scussion the three gentlemen de-
cided to tackle fried eggs. lie repaired
to an all-night restaurant in Sixth ave-
nue., famous for the encounters which
men about town have had within its
portals and ordered batch. Every man
ate and the waiter handed check for
several dozen.
Then the young broker that had learned
a thing or two from his Jersey grand
mother directed the cook to crack and
spill into large pan 100 fresh eggs. Be
fore putting the eggs into the pan, how
ever, he ordered that it be hattiled with
vinegar. His instructions were carried
out. After allowing the mixture to cook
a reasonable time the cover was lifted
and the eggs paced in Big dish. BY
permission of the propr etor the gentle
men interested had watched the cooking.
When the eggs were brought forth every
one except the man with the Jersey
grandmother gave vent to ejaculations
of astonishment The 100 eggs could
be conveniently put into an ordinary
teacup. Then the owner ate them in
half dozen swallows.
''There's a hole in the pan, yelled one
of the party.

The houses on this part of the coast, as

height. A few steps up a rude ladder
lead to platform, on which some of the
family generally recline. A baby, and
often young pig. in nets suspended
from the caves, are gently swinging to
and fro. Fishing nets lie in a corner,
with shells attached for weights. Nau.
titus shells, with grass streamers or hid
eous carved pieces of wood, hang before
the bamboo door, which is low and mar
row, and leads into the common room
where all the family sleep. The common
room is about twelve by eighteen feet,

ACROSS THE SNOW.

Across the snow and over the sand,
Where summer fingers with song and bloom
The festooned oaks of Florida stand
Enshrouded in odorous gloom;
Over the mountains, across the snow,
The blue sky smileth and bendeth low,
Across the snow and over the sea,
Italy laughs, like child at play;
Aad her rivers that sing incessantly
Are wooing the soul away
Over the sea and across the snow
Across the snow and over the tears,
The wonder-world of our childhood lies,
And voices echo across the years
With whispered question and low replies,
Over the graves and across the snow,
The children are calling who loved me SO.
Across the snow and beyond the doubt,
There lieth land so sweet and fair
That none who enter will turn about
To bring us tidings of loved ones there;
Over the doubt and across the snow
The dear ones beckon and shall go.

SnOWbirds ON Toast.

Hunting snowbirds on South State
Street and the avenues is a more proita-
BILE employment than hunting ducks in
the Indiana marshes. But few persons
are familiar with this fact, but it is true
nevertheless. The palate of the epicure
must be tickled in some way; ducks and
reedbirds are too common, but the snow
bird, it would appear, fills the long-felt
want. There are millions OF them on the
south side, and they are being shot and
trapped at every opportunity. The small
boy does considerable towards supplying
the wants of proprietors of restaurants,
but the business has so suddenly devel.
oped that grown men have turned snow
bird hunters, and with reasonable good
luck can make from $3.50 to $3.50 per
day. The birds are wholesaled at 80
cents per dozen, and four of them go to
make meal, which costs the purchaser
so cents. The restaurant man, it will be
seen, has profit of 81 on an investment
of so cents. So it is apparent that there
is money in the business for every one
directly interested.
In restaurant window on State street
the sign "Snowbirds on Toast" was
seen yesterday L AC RlOPlASbOA ""o
asked if there was much of demand for
such game. He said there was at pres
ent, as there always is at this season OF
the year The birds are plump as can
be, Juicy and wholesome, but a working
man would eat hundred of them at a
meal without having his appetite ap-
peased.
The birds feed on the graia that falls
from cars and vehicles. The hunters
are in the immediate vicinity, and either
kill the birds with guns or trap them.
They go in flocks of hundreds, and a
shot fired into their ranks brings down
at least dozen. The hunter has bag
at his side and into it are tumbled the
victims. The supply is enormous, and
as long as the demand is kept up, so long
will the south side hunters continue to
make good living. There are not half
dozen in the field at present, but when
the snow comes down for keeps the ranks
will be considerably augmented. That
a man can make a good days wages at
the business is evident. Chicago Irj-
