His Trial. &

Prisoner Becomes uno0nso'ous OAR NJ
His Tri>I
We read frequently Of judges falling
asleep during the hearing Of case
but for a prisoner to be Numbering
peacefully during the whole Of. his
trial IL probably an unprecedented oc-
currence. This curious spectacle wac
witnessed recently In the Tcnth Police
Court Paris says Belfast News Let
ter. where man named Emile David
was charged with illegally personal
ing barrister and common swindling:
After giving his name in answer 70
the magistrate. the defendant ceased
to reply to the questions put to him,
and his counsel explained to the court
that David was fast asleep, although
his eyes were wide open. .sss
The magistrate was OF course
rather suspicious OF such IA explana-
ton, and In order TO prove that his
client was not shamming Maitre Ray
maud placed his hands before the pris-
oner's eyes and drawing them slowly
bnck. caused him TO get up and leap
over the barrier which separated the
the dock from the court He was led
Ia K to his seat. but 1t was found inn
possible to awake him. The trial
however. was proceeded with and
Maitre Raynaud. in David's defense
explained that he was a highly hysteri-
cal, hypnotic subject aud that at
times he would remain for long perl
DDS in what is known as the auto

This means that the patient. al

lence acts like an ordinary individual
and can travel. carry on converse
ton. or play cards without anyone
suspecting that he Ia asleep. On
awakening. however he Is entirely
unconscious OF what he has done while
in that condition. This David on one
occasion travelled from Paris to 1royes
without being conscious of doing 80.
and. on recovering his senses. discov-
cred that he had lost his overcoat with
sum Of money in one Of the pockets.
He had no recollection as to where he
had left the garment but some months
later, on telling his story to a surgeon

position and number OF the room in a
hotel at Troyes, where he had left the

with. and the story found to be per-
fectly correct
The hearing OF the case was termi-
mated some time befors David could
be awakened. and the passing Of the
sentence was delayed for two hours
as the court did not wish to condemn
n sleeping man. Finally, when he re-
covered his senses, the prisoner was
informed that, on account OF his ex-
traordinary temperament his offense
would be visited only with penalty

A boo WITH A HEART.

How Ho Mournod When His Pet Cat
Was Laid to Rest.
Here is a pathetic lite story. illus
trative OF the affection that may be
cultivated between dog and cat
says the Baltimore County Union.
and being strictly true story makes
II all the more worthy OF telling. A
family In the town had dog about Ia
years old and cat about 8, both OF
which they had raised.
Between these animals the most
marked affection sprang up and they
were inseparable friends. They ate
together slept together played to-
gether. and II by chance they became
separated they each showed in the
most marked manner their discomfort
and unhappiness. II the cat got out
Of the house. the dog whined most
persistently and dolefully until she
came back, and II the dog happened
to be absent the cat acted in similar
manner.
A short time ago the cat died. and
1t was then her companion manifested
the most unmistakable signs Of distress.
He pushed her body around with his
nose apparently trying to wake her.

begone manner.
A little boy in the family. whose
constant companions the animals had
been, decided to bury his dead friend.
and. securing box. decided to pu,
the body in it and. after mailing on
the lid, carried it into the garden. dug
hole and covered it as he supposed.
securely.
In the mean time the dog moped
about the house. refusing to either eat
or drink. and looked so distressed
that it was painful to see him. One
day the boy noticed the dogs nose
and head were covered with mud, and
the thought ut once struck him that he
had found his friends grave and had
tried to resurrect the body. He went
into the garden and found that his
suspicious were correct
The dog had actually dug down and
uncovered the box. but as the lid was
securely nailed on. he could not bring
the body to the surface. The dog fol-
lowed the body to the grave and
whined and howled piteously while
the boy made arrangements to renter
the cat After good many days the
dog gradually came back to his appe-
tite and although still more or less
doleful had apparently regained his
normal condition. This is homely
little story. but IL has one merritt is

Couldn't Brighten the squire.

There comes from the town OF Bald
win story Of gruff, square-edged old
Squire Thompson. one of the first
settlers Of the neighboring town OF
Cornish. and father of the late DR..
Thompson. for many years promi-
nent physician in that part OF the
state. 1t was local saying about
Cornish that Squire Thompson had
never been scared. Many plots had
been laid by practical jokers, but all
had come to naught.
Finally some Cornish wags made a
last effort. One night Squire Thomp-
son attended husking at which the
festivities were somewhat prolonged.
1t was midnight before the squire
started for home his way being by a
path through the cemetery The
wags had been busying themselves in
digging big hole across the path,
and as the squire proceeded home he
suddenly tumbled in. At the same
instant sheeted figure appeared on
the edge OF the hole and exclaimed in
measured. sepulchral tones:
What are you in my grave forp"
What are you out of 1t for at this
time OF nightp" retorted the doughty
old squire as he scrambled out and
proceeded on his way. Lewiston

In this country. He has never partici-

quently his value in army service is

lance is recognized and he is made
useful as well as ornamental In fact
he is regarded as necessary adjunct
to the standing army OF almost every
nation. His successful adaptation as
a messenger during the siege Of Paris
In the Franco German war, directed

and when they are gone she will say:
"Horrid old thing" Girls is always
fooling Teller. She can't lick yer, so
she gets the best OF yer that way. If
yer don't do what a girls says yer
horrid. / drather be horrid than
soft. If yer do what girl tells you
you will do all sorts of foolish things.
Girls can be good in school every day
il they feel like it. shud think they
would get tired and have to do sum-

does. Girls say fellers act orfull; but
when girl gets a-going it she acts

The Play Corner.

Into basin of water throw piece
of money, a ring, or any object, and
propose TO take it out without wet
ting your hands.
All that you have to do is to sprinkle
the surface OF the liquid with powder
that has no cohension with the water,
and consequently that the water does
not wet. Lycopodium powder, which
may be found in any drug store, have
this property.
After having thrown little of this
powder ON the water plunge your hand
bravely to the bottom and take out
the ring, and show it to the audience
that you hand is perfectly dry. The
reason of this is that the lycopodium
has formed a perfect glove on your
hand, thus preventing any contact
with the liquid, the same as, for in
stance, ducks plunge their bodies into
the water, and come out perfectly dry,
on account OF the oil which is secreted
in their feathers.

A Neat Little Nut Trick.

Take an English walnut and hold it
between the thumb and middle finger
with the index finger resting on the
point OF the nut.
BY pressing hard against the ridge
OF the nut with the thumb and middle
finger the nut will open slightly at the
top, because the pressure has decreas-
ed the diameter OF the nut, increasing
it where there is no pressure.
After that much has been accom-
plished comes little jugglery. Let us
tell the spectators, for example, that
by rubbing the nut against the wooden
surface, the coat sleeve for instance,
enough electricity can be generated for
the nut to adhere to the index finger
and hang suspended in the air. In re-
atty, however, as soon as the pres
sure has been removed from the body
of the nut it closes at the top, impris-
oning bit of the skin OF the index
finger.
