Slept Nine Hours in a Bath-rub.

Nine hours Of sleep in bath-tub filed
with cold water is the novel esca pade of a
New York travelling man at the Pinkington
House. The gentleman is the representa-
tive of champagne house, and tour
among his own customers Sunday night re-
suited IN his getting an over supply Of his
own ware. Returning to the hotel at IL
o'clock he concluded-to take cold bath in
hopes OF refreshing himself. Filling the
bath-tub adjoining his room with cold
water he was soon in it immersed up to his
neck, and with his head lying upon the slop-
ing end of the tub he fell asleep. In
that position he remained until 7:3O o'clock
the next morning when bell-boy aroused
him. Nine hours in the cold water had
shriveled mp his hands and feet and stiff
ened his joints until he could hardly move.
but few hot drinks soon revived him.
While he admits that it is most effeetual
way of SOLDERING up he thinks it altogether
too dangerous.
''1f | had got my head under the water"
he said to the clerk. "you would have had a
sensational suicide on your hands, and
nothing could have proved that had not
intended to take my life."
He said that during the night he dreamed
that he had been shipwreeked in the Arctic
Ocean and he was swimming around among
the Ice fields. He Is still In the city. and
has sworn the help not to divulge his name
