THE MAN IN ROOM 666.
MOnOlOgue In the Dark Which

Mono1osue In the Dark which
Created Alarm.
The usual decorum of the Hollenden
Office was seriously disturbed a few
evenings ago by a bell boy who rushed
in from the elevator, his face almost
green with excitement.
sWhat's the matter?" inquired Clerk
Thompson, who has met with many ex-
periences.
.aFhere's man that's crazy in $685."
answered the bell boy between gasps.
"What is he doing"
"Why he's just counting and count
ing all the time," was the reply.
Clerk Thompson started for the ele-
yator. AS he emerged on the sixth
floor, at one end of the building, he
heard a mans voice calling out in loud
tones, tone, two, three, fauF," and as
he walked through the hall the sound
increased in volume. 1t was 10 O'clock,
and but few of the guests were in bed
at that time, so Thompson waited out
side the room for several minutes, list
ening. He heard the stentorian torres,
as they emerged from the darkened
room, pass steadily through the first
100 numbers, after which the counting
went on I'D 100 at time. When 1000
had been reached, and several of the
other guests of the hotel had gathered
at the door to find out what it all
meant, the count changed, and the man
inside the room commenced on "'a=h=
cd" etc.
This was kept up, with regular
changes in the order, for long enough
time. Finally it dawned upon the
watchers that the guest was merely
making use of a familiar old expedient
for wooing sleep, and they stole away
amid silence that was broken only
by the PECULIAR sounds within and q
series of suppressed snickeFs without
A quarter of an hour aftecWard they
stole back, one at time. Sounds were
still coming from the room, and they
were still regular, but the period be-
tween them was sensibly longer, and
it was evident that the fond homes

gratified by a visit from Blorpheus.-

KEPT RIGHT ON AT WORK.


Wow Boston Bricl<laycrs and Their
Employers Settled Their Differ
enees.
A labor difficulty was settled in Bos-
ton the other day without friction he
tween the workmen and their employ
ers. and after fashion that was mu-
tually satisfactory, says the New York
Evening Post. The record of the af-
fair might be studied with advantage
in other cities by those who have to
do with labor in any relation. A dis
agreement occurred between the brick
layers of the city and their employers
on the old question of wages. The men
not waving their demands, continued
at work There had been keen compe-
tition in the building trade for several
months and, owing to the narrow mar
gin on which the contractors had to do
business, they did not think they could
pay the men more than 30 cents an
houn The men wanted A. cents, and
the controversy was referred to a board
representing both parties. The arbitra-
tors could Aot como TO an understand
ing and the situation was ripe for q
lockout or a strike. 1t was decided,
however, to make another effort TO
reach settlement. The whole matter
was accordingly submitted by the arbi-
traitors to William Llayd Garrison as
referee, whose decision it was agreed
should be accepted, The referee liked
the wage rate at AZ cents an hour,
which the bricklayers are now receiv-
ing for their labor. Not a days work
had been lost ny the men or the con-
tractors, ana no one in the community
was any the verse of for the dispute
between them, 49,.

FACIAL RESEMBLANCE.

Why People Living Long TOgethrR
Grow 10 Resemble Each Other.
The fact that two people who live
long together tend to look alike is ac-
counted for by unconscious mimicry
reacting upon the muscles of express
sioniu the same way that q ruling
passion does. The tendency to facial
imitation is very general--in fact, al
most universal-and may be so marked
as to be easily noticed; so that when
two people are engaged in animated
conversation, the expressionof the lis
tener may often be seen to echo that
of the speaker. How infectious" is a
smile or laugh, even when the idea
which gave rise to 1T in the first case is
not transferred!
Several times when talking to young
people, / have suddenly and purposely
adopted some change of expression,
such as the raising of the eyebrows;
and this, although not the least apropos
to the words spoken at the time, has
instantly evoked a like movement on
the faces before me- The response
was quite involuntary, and was q pure
piece of instructive reflex action. Why
does yawn spread like pestilence
through the room when conversation
flags? know of those who have start
ed such an epidemic by little piece
OF acting, and not mouth in the COM
pany (saye the guilty one) knew why
it gaped. Have not we all noticed that
a man of marked individuality becomes
a center of physical influence to those
who wait on his words, so that his ges-
lures, tones of voice and turns of
phase are reproduced? / know tutor
whose peculiarities of speech and car
riage have been adopted more or less
by every one of his pupils during the
last six years, and several of them
have come to resemble him in features.
This unconscious imitation of express
sion is very noticeable In children.
Has 1t occurred to many careful pa
rents that the good looks of their
daughters may depend in no slight de-
gree upon their choice of nurse girls
and governesses?
For some reason which we can not
fathom, the initiative faculty is In
grained in us that what the eye pre-
ceives the brain makes haste to repro
duce- without stopping to ask our per-
mission; and where two people live
long together the facial muscles of each
are constantly receiving stimuli
prompting them to mimicry. AS in the
case of the emotions, these influences
may be infinitesimal at any given mo-
ment, and may give rise to no visible
change of expression. Yet, in the
course of time, they tend TO mold the
whole countenance, feature for feature,
into an almost exact fac-simile of ans
