Visiting for Pleasure They Waste No Time
In Goiag to BED.
A man charged with begging oisee de-
clared that he had not been in bed for
thirteen years; he took his rest in door
ways and passages. This is not bad
record, but many Of the homeless class
could probably beat il. Certainly there
are thousands-not only in England, but
ell over the worid-to whom such lux
ury as a bed is unknown; unfortunates
are obliged to lay their heads in the odd
est places imaginable to prevent their
being rudely awakened by the police.
A sad ne'er-do-well told the writer
that this was his principal thought for
more days than he could count. Where
should he sleep that night? Aud he had
theory that but for having this
object constantly in view as he tramped
over the monotonous pavements of Lon
don he must have lost his reason. He
laughed himself in after days when he
Thought of some of his experiences at
dozing ont.
Even he, however, never slept i'm u
stream, which was what some thirty
persons of both sexes cid at Buda-P Pesth
few years back. The water, which
was warm, flowed from mill. and the
vagrants got into IL and converted
number of stones into temporary pill
lows.
Even people with homes could tell
some strange stories ON this head. OF
course IN some countries beds are nm
known. The Japanese, for example.
sleep on the floor muffled in great
wadded coat and with block OF wood
for pillow. But, confining ourselves
to England, just talk TO the dwellers in
the slums on this subject Why. going
to bed there during the summer months
is positively inviting torture. Many
places swarm with vermin. and conse-
quently those who live in them find it
more comfortable to sleep anywhere
rather than in the proper place-even ON
the doorstep.
The manager of the Isle OF Man hotel
remarked few months ago that 'vis-
itors" never went TO bed. His servants
are often asl-ed 10 provide breakfasts at
3 or 4 a. m. Certainly the streets of
Douglass are pretty lively amy time dur
ing the season.
A gentleman is fond of relating that
one night select party settled not far
from his be ll'oom window and created
the most d ,prdant din imaginable. He
bore it with exemplary patience for
about five hours. and then, dressing HIM
self, he went out and mildly expostu
lated. saying he wanted some sleep.
''Sleep!" roared one of the gang, blow
ing terrific blast ON a toy trumpet;
''then what did you come to the Isle of
Man for!"
They say at Blackpool, too, that If you
arrive at any hour Of the day or night
you are just in time for something or
other. The story goes that early one
morning dance was in progress on ono
of the piers, when shipwrecked sailor,
who had been drifting about on n spar
and had fortunately LANDED" on the
girders below, crawled mp the steps.
The NJ. G, came forward--they are never
surprised at Blackpool--sm smiled, bowed

a RAZOR STRAP FROM THE SKIN OF
NAT TURNER.-It is fifty-one years
since Virginia was thrilled with horror
by an instruction, which broke out in
1881 in southampton county, under the
leadership of Nat Turner, a negro of
magnificent physique, and strong and
ambitious mind, but crazed with a ia
naticism which made him fancy him
selfa God-appointed leader, selected to
exterminate the whites. The insurrec-
ton was quickly quelled, and Turner
captured and executed.
Some of the physicians, to whom the
body was surrendered for anatomical
purposes, took from Turner's back q
strip of skin which was converted into
razor strap, which afterwards came
into the possession of Robert Pritchert,
clerk of the Greene county court, from
whom it has come down through four
generations to his great-grandson, L.
w. Sims, of this city. The strap is a
plain affair, glued to wooden back,
and has evidently seen service although
it is by no means worn out.-Rodnoke

A SUMNER WITHOUT NIGHTs.-To the
summer visitor in Sweden there is nothing
moro striking than the almost total absence OF
the night. At Stockholm, the Swedish capi-
tai. the sun goes down few minutes before
10 o'clock and rises again four hours later
during greater part of the month of June
But the four hours the sun lies hidden IN the
frozen north are not hours of darkness-tne
refraction of his rays as he passes around the
north pole makes midnight as light as 4
cloudy midday, and enables one to read the
finest print without artificial light at any
time during the might" At the head OF the
Gulf of Bothnia there is a mountain on the
summit of which the sun shines continually
during the five days of June 10, 20, 21, -
and 23. Every six hours during this season
of continual sunshine steamer leaves Stock
holm crowded with visitors anxious to wit
ness the phenomenon. At the same place
during the winter the sun disappears and is
not seen for weeks; then it comes in sight
again for 10. 10 or 20 minutes gradually
iengthening its stay until finally it stays in
sight continuously for upward of 120 hours

TROUT ON A DIET OF MIcE.-"Dur-
ing the past few days writes cores
pondent of the Dumfries, Scot, Courier,
''trout have been caught in the AMMAN
dale streams which have been feeding
ON the mice, or field voles, with which
our pastures are plagued. A Motlat
lady, who had got a present OF trout
from friend living near Evan Water,
was the other day surprised to hear her
domestic scream, and, on inquiring the
cause, found it was due to the presence
of vole in the stomach of a half-pound
trout. A gentleman angling in Motfat
Water caught a pound trout near
Bodesbeck, and on cutting up the fish,
found whole vole in its stomach. The
voles run to the streams in dry weather
and many of them are drowned. 1t
will be strange if the trout has to be
classed with the hawk, the owl, and the
weasel as q natural enemy.

GHOST THAT DRIVES a PLow.-A re

GHOST THAT DRIVES a PLOw.-A re-
spectacle farmer named Petersen, who
owns place few miles from Fernan-
dina, Fla, tells curious story of q
ghost that haunts his cornfeld and
plows by moonlight. He says that he
first noticed the apparition about a
month ago when sitting up with sick
child. He happened to look out on
the field about the hour Of midnight,
and to his amazement he saw the fig
ure of man guiding an OK team over
the ground The animals, man and
plow were all as plain to be seen as If
it had been daylight. though the rest OF
the field was in comparative 6 loom.
Not knowing what TO make of this
singular sight he called his eldest son
to 90 and see who the stranger was.
The boy went at once, and his father,
watching him, was further amazed 10
see the lad walk right through the
plow and man as if there was moth
ing there. When the boy returned he
declared that he had found nothing and
nobody in the field Mr.. Petersen him
self now resolved to go and did so, but
could see no trace Of the man and
team, though on returning to the room
from which he had seen the sight he
found them as plain as before. The
man was dressed in the clothes of a la
borer and wore large, broad-brimmed
hat, which completely concealed his
features.
He seemed intent on his work and
never raised his head, but would crack
the whip he carried over the back OF
the oxen, but without noise. Since this
time Mr.. Petersen says he has repeat,
edly seen the phantom plowman and
has called in neighbors TO see 1t with
him, though always on going into the
field nothing was to be found. The
people about declare that the figure is
that of the farmer who owned the place
before Petersen bought it, and who ear
Iy one morning was found dead in this
field, and it was thought by his own
hand.
