The Sense OF Time In sleep.

A Massachusetts, man tells the fol-
lowing: 81 arrived one day at a
sleepy italian town and joined a party
Of friends. II was In the late after
noon, and was very tired. l had beon
rowing distance, and soon went up
stairs, lay down in my boating fannels
for little rest before dressing, and
fell directly asleep-one of those
stony, moveless sleeps that seem 10 tire
more than rest one. When awoke I
was surprised to see by the light that
It was not night, not even morning;
but by the shadows Of late afternoon,
and from my sense Of having been
asleep long, long time, realized
that / bad slept for twenty.four hours!
A little dazed and ashamed Of myself I
got ready, went down and joined my
friends. They did not seem TO pay
much attention to my absence; in
short, they did not act at all strange,
and when apologized for not having
joined them at dinner<the day before
they said: Why, you were not here
yesterday and In some way or other,
little by little, II was borne In upon me
that had been asleep about ten min
utes. II had been alone should
certainly have lost q day out Of my
life. st Louis Globe Democrat.

A Garrulous Parrot ls Completely Cured
by n DignInod Owl.
One day man who had considerable
experience with parrots, says the Idler,
happened 10 come in, and when COM
planned of the birds loquacity he said:
"Why don't you get an owl2 You get
an owl and hang him up to that parrots
cage and in about two days you'll find
that your birds dead sick Of unprofita-
BILE conversation"
Well, / got small owl and put him
In cage next TO the parrots cage. The
parrot began by trying to dazzle the
owl with his conversation, but Il
wouldn't work. The owl sat and
looked at the parrot Just as solemn as
minister whose salary has been cut
down, and after awhile the parrot tried
him with Spanish. 1t wasn't OF any
use. Not word would the owl let on
TO understand. Then the parrot tried
Dragging and laid himself out to make
the owl believe that of all the parrots
in existence he was the ablest But he
could not turn feather of the owl That
noble bird sat silent as the grave and
looked at the parrot as II to say: This Is
indeed a melancholy exhibition of i'm
becility." Well, before night, that par
rot was so ashamed Of himself that he
closed for repairs, aud from that day
forth he never spoke an unnecessary
word. Such, gentleman, is the force Of
example in the very worst of birds.

"It must have been at least ten years
before she made any effort to trace the
child"
"She did not advertise nor resort to

"The search was conducted In very

"And all to no purpose?"
"No trace Of the child was ever dis

Hamilton Dupont was the youngest
Of a large family, Of which, by the time
he reached the age Of twenty-one, he
and Mrs. Dunltirk were the only sur
vivors. The eldest of the children,
Mrs. Dunkirl, was more than twenty
years older than Hamilton; a disparity
In age that prevented them from hay
ing any common interests or pleasures.
All the other children died in infancy,
and Mrs. Dupont died when Hamilton
was In his tenth year. He was wild
and ungovernable In his boyhood, and
as he grew older he became so incor-
rigible that his father, who was a very
hard, stern man, disinherited him"
"And-pardon the interruption, but
one question, please-how soon after
this did Mr.. Dupont's death occur7"
II really do not know, positively, but
II could not have been many months
after. Hamilton was only twenty-one
when his father died"
"And after this sad event Mrs. Dun
kirk and Hamilton were the only sur
viyinR members of the family.
Do you mean by this their immediate
family, their fathers family, or, in a
broader sense, that there were no col
lateral branches. no cousins of any de-
gree?"
II used the expression Ms Mrs. Dun
kirk herself did, in its broader sense.
She frequently spoke Of the fact that
her family was so nearly extinct She
