Patent Alarm Beds.

Most people nowadays are CONVEX
SAINT with the qualities OF an alarm bed.
The purpose of these beds liz 10 prevent
2 person from ovcrsleeping himself, or
II he does not awake at the time the
alarm is sounded, tho machinery oper-
ates in such . manner as to throw him
out upon the floor, much to his aston
ishment. For instance, when q person
wishes to retire to bed he winds up an
alarm clock attached to the bed and
sets 1t at the hour he wishes to get up.
At the appointed hour the alarm
sounds, and, il the sleeper is awakened,
he may arise; but If he does not awake,
the machinery of the clock, operating
on . lever, upsets the bed-frame and
the occupant is tilted out upon the floor.
We have = good story to tell in con-
nection with one Of those beds, says q
Boston paper. A friend of ours recent
" got married to Q lovely and interest
ing young woman. In the house Of
the brides father, where the wedding
took place, one of the ALARM beds" had
just previously been introduced The
wedding party was very large and fash
ionable and everything went off with
the utmost merriment, the entertain
ment being Of the most generous kind.
At length, the feasting over and the
hour of midnight past, the guests be-
gan to retire and the lights to grow
dim in the house. The "old folks"
hinted gently about sleep and the bride
and her lord grew weary and impa-
tient. 1t was easily seen that they
wished to be alone and the lady was
accordingly escorted to her chamber,
to which the bridegroom soon followed
her. While the interesting pair were
in the midst of one Of their most inter-
tete-a-tetes o click, click, was
heard and the astonished couple, the
next instant, found themselves launched
upon the floor in the middle of the
room, fast locked in each others arms,
holding on like good fellows, in momen-
tary expectation Of an earthquake.
They survived the shock, however.
The fact of it was, the alarm bed" had
been assigned them and the brides
Youngest brother, the miscellaneous
devil, Tom, had taken the liberty to set

The Emperor Kwanr.Sn.

The young Emperor of China can
scarcely be said to have attained hap
piness with his exalted position. The
Queen Regent, an ambitious and ar
bltrary woman, has succeeded in max
ing the life Of her nephew even more
cut-and-dried than that of most SOW
ereigns, and one can scarcely wonder
that kwang-Su is subject to fits of
passion. during which he declares that
he will not be an Emperor, but will
escape from Pekin, if necessary, and
work in the fields.
His studies consume about ,t
hours . day, and at one time it v i, BIS
constant pleasantly to beg his lu,tols
to allow him a sight of their vatehes.
No sooner were the articles produced
than Kwang-Su dashed them upon the
ground and stamped upon them, argu-
ing that the tutors would not know
next day at what hour to come.
The Emperor il never alone, and. as
We are told by o traveller, there is al
ways . retinue following the royal
prisoner, to remind him what to do
to tell him, for example, at four o'clock,
when he is enjoying his favorite pas
time OF fishing, that at a quarter past
four he must take q walk or go deer
hunting.
The Emperor knows very little about
the state OF the capital, for when he is
taken to drive enormous sums of money
are spent in advance to prepare the
city for his eyes. The streets are
cleaned, rich silks and tapestries are

offensive object is carefully removed
to Q distance.
European residents are warned to
within doors, as it is a point of
Chinese custom that no man, European
or native. may look upon the face of
this august sovereign. The doors and
windows Of all the houses are accord
ingly closed, and the royal retinue
moves slowly along through the de-
serted streets.

nissaM.

FsrdinAnd Ward has changed m01a,
perhaps, than any Of the other prison
ers who are in what IL generally known
as the 'distinguisheds class. The
gold-rimed glasses he wears are the
| only remnants Of his former sslf.
lie looks healthy and his eye IL
bright, but he Is not the dashing young
banker who once vas 70 petted in cir
Giles exclusive. His air il subdued and
his eyes very rarely meet those Of .
visitor.
He Il the printer Of tho prison, and
= very excellent one, too. In his
younger years he learned the art and
the state has utilized it to an advan-
tage. BE is an actual saving to the
institution, and as he has . little Office
we'll fitted up all to himself, he appears
to be about "a content as q man q be
who is lifted out Of q world Of giddy
excitement and thrown, himself q Grim
inal, into . prison filed with baser
men.
He enjoys no privileges Of any nature
and it is simply the fact that he had
learned . trade in his youth that now
keeps him aloof from 'the gangs" who
do mental labor. He had both coat
and waistcoat off when the reporter
entered.
"Oh, yes" he said, with . smile, in
answer to o query Of Mr.. Connaughton
rs to whether or not he was busy. II
am rather busy. This bill of Senator
Fassett's, regulating the labor and the
reports, has caused us to get out new
forms, and I'm busy" He said this as
he set away at his case engrossed in
his work.
The walls Of his little printing Office
he has covered with pictures clipped
from the periodicals of the day.
Strangely enough, too, most Of his
pictures represent scenes OF home and
childhood, and odd they look.
With the crime Of Ward everybody
familiar. It's perpetrstor n paying
his debt to society as best he can. He
occupies . cell fanked on either side
by the common thieves; wakes up with
the rest OF the prisoners at 6:15 every
morning, has breakfast, and then goes
to his work. He is back in his cell
ut 5:45 in the evening, and spends
most of his time from that until lights
are out at 8 o'clock in the evening
reading. He has q fondness for works
Of a scientific nature.
He has few visitors, but the carpet
protects his feet from the cold
stone floor, and the hair mattress on
which he sleeps, tells of the thought
of some who remained faithful
to him after his downfall. These lux
aries arc permitted prisoners when
supplied them by friends. Ward has
never been known to speak to a fellow
except to answer a message
sent through one from the officials of
The prison. He seemed pleased when
chief keeper complimented him on
some work he had done, but merely
bowed his acknowledgement.
Wards sentence dates from October
81, 1885, and, in the natural order Of
would not expire until 1896,
but he has regularly earned his COM
mutation for good conduct, and, should
ais high standing continue, he will
nave only two and one-half years to
'erve.-NeW York Press.
