S0MNAM BULISM.

Somnambulism, in it's simplest
form, is seen when persons talk in
their sleep. They are plainly asleep
and dreaming; yet the connection,
ordinarily broken, between the
physical organs and the images
passing through the mind 10 retain

talk more or less in their sleep /;
also many persons who do not usu-
ally do so are liable to mutter if
they have over eaten, or arc fever.

plainly in connection with ideas

these incipient manifestations of

ter not long since arose In the
night, went into his shop, and be-

the operation awoke him. The ex.
traordlnary feats of somnambulists
in ascending to the roots of houses,
threading dangerous places, and
dong many other things which
they could not have done while
awake have often been described,
and in many cases made the sub.
ject of close investigation. For.
merly it was believed by many that
If they we're not awakened they
would in process of time return TO
their beds, and that there would
not be any danger OF serious acci.

long been proved false. Many

from among several documents,
put it in a cup, and set fire to Il.
She was entirely unaware Of the

Can a Man Buy His Own Wife 2

The singular question Of "Can a
man buy his own wife !" was sub
mitted the other day to the Su-
preme Court OF Massachusetts. The
circumstances OF the case are very
curious. A woman who had been
ill.treated by her husband, and had
left him, and was suing for divorce
and allmony, consented to a propo-
sal 10 return and live with him as
bis wife on his putting in the hands
of trustee a note for $4,000 pay
able to her after the death of her
husband. Shortly after the carry
ing out of this agreement the hus-
band died, whereupOn his execu'
tors refused to pay the note, on the
ground that there was no valid
consideration in law. The court
decided against the widow, giving
as reasons "that to give man the
fellowship and communion of a wife
is not a service which the wife can
sell or the husband buy. Perhaps
a husband can hire his wife to do
anything for him which a servant
can be hired to do, or can buy OF
her anything that is the subject OF
barter; but a servant cannot be
hired to I'll the marital relation,
and the fellowship OF wife is not an
article of trade between husband
and wife, 1t seems that the courts
are not agreed on this construction
of the law, as a similar bargain to
the one under notice has been held
good by the New York Court OF
Appeals.
