A young lady at school became a SOM

in her sleep. l was taken into consulta-
ton and suggested various eXpedients,
such as sedaCiyes, sleeping draughts and
net work to put around the bed at night.
All, however, has been tried in his in

for n little, and hit upon the following
plan: l directed her nightdress to be
scwed up at the foot so that 1t formed

heightened So much that each sleeve,
atUer going round the body reached the
front, where it met the other sleeg and
was securely fastened to ii. The whole
dress was loose, but the long sleeves pre-
ven ed the hands from being used to get
rid of the dress while from the end be-

with which she was amused. The usual
hour for the night walk came. Her at

the sitting posture, then stood upright and
commenced to walk. The second step

She would still rise from bed each night,

WIN the Barber Was Silent.


A distinctive feature of one of the lux
urious barber shops in the dry goods
district is razor wielder who can out
talk the traditional talkative barber.
His tongue is seldom idle when he is at
work, and were it not for the fact that
he is a barber of uncommon skill and
neatness he would have been banished
from the shop long ago. AS it is, most
of the customers put up with his chatter
good naturally, and some of them en-
courage him to talk out of pure mischief.
One day last week an overworked and
weary "head of department" in alarge
dry goods house hurried into this par
ticular shop for quick shave. An in
voluntary shudder shook his frame when
he saw that the only vacant chair be-
longed to the talkative barber.
He nerved himself for the ordeal and
was greatly surprised when the barber
said nothing to him as he took his seat.
His establishment increased when he
found that the usually loquacious artist
was actually shaving him without say
ing q word. The job was done quickly
and neatly, and when the barber had
finished the customer jumped up and ex-
claimed enthusiastically: "By Jove, that
is the most restful shave I ever had.
Here's quarter for you. You seem to
have turned over new leaf"
The knight Of the razor shook his head
gloomily and muttered: "Can't talk.

FORCE THE ISSUE.

Mayor Brown should force action on
the electric light question. Two meet
ines of the Common Council have been
held ana the majority has lodged the
issue.
One week ago the question was called
nm by one of the Democratic members
but the blundering leader OF the msjority
moved an adjournment until Monday OF
this week. When the proper time arrived
on Monday evening the veto OF Mayor
Brown on the electric light contract was
laid before the meeting by President
Pierce and again motion 10 adjourn was
interposed to dodge the issue.
1t Is now the duty OF the Mayor to
force the issue by calling special meet
ing of both branches to consider those
specific subjects.
The subject is Of a vital Importance to
the city and the Mayor would be fully
warranted in calling a special meeting for
that purpose.
Call the meetings Mr.. Mayor, and COM
pei decisive action one way or another.

ANOTHER RHODE ISLAND RELIC.

Outside people do not know that a
popularity of the Rhode Island State
Constitution prevents the ordinary voter
from voting for Alderman and Council
men. Such, however, is the fact and the
the law for years. A voter In this State
who wants to vote for Alderman and
Councilmen must be a taxpayer. He may
pay from Ave to fifty dollars for the rental
of his house, but he Is not considered a
taxpayer, although, as we all know, he
really pays the taxes.
For some years the Democrats have
tried to overcome this obstruction and
have placed men on the personal proper.

same thing. It was stuggle to get con-
