WAKING WHEN you LIKE.

Curious Power Many People Have. hut
ns Yet Unexplained
discussion has been going on among
the members of the English society
for ps,,'ci:ical research as 70 the cXis-
tence and the nature of the power by
which people manage to wake pre-
cisely at the hour at which they have
resolved to wake themselves the pre-
vious night.
You may fix five minutes before the
hour in house in which no clock
strikes the quarter, or even in a house
where there is no striking clock with
in Il couple of miles, and yet not one
person only. but a great many-we
might perhaps say the majority of
persons past middle AEGEAN wake
themselves at the right hour if ON the
previous night they go to bed with
the resolve to do SO strong in their
minds.
1t is the power which belongs to all
sorts of persons-not only persons who
have been in the habit of getting up
at given hours but to persons who have
not.
Most nurses have it, most servants,
most laborers, most professional men.
Vet it is very difficult to account for
this phenomenon. for when you wake
you have no distinct, nor, indeed, in
distinct, recognition of the time.
You only know what time you ought
to have been awake, but you are not
in the least conscious that this time
has arrived, though when you look at
your watch in a fright you find, as
matter of fact, that it has arrived, and
only just arrived.
The curious thing is that, though you
can arrest your OWL attention and
wake at the required time, you never
seem to have the least assurance that
it is the right time without consulting
your watch.
If YOU really do "divine" time you
have ,to power of recognizing that you
have ''dirincd' it. You feel as if you
hn't merely Guessed il, and very prob
ably gucsSci! wrong. until your watch
confirms the guess.

says the st. Louis Republic, as far as
history ever shows, was a supper given
by Aelin Verus, one of the most lavish
of the latter-day Roman aristocrats.
The supper was only intended for q

Vacclnated AT Times.


There is youHg man in Williams
port who has discovered new method
of vaccination and of the four ply
sicians who have attended him not
one will deny the efficacy of the meth
cd. The young fellows name is Werts
and his home is on Mulberry street
The account of how he was vaccinated
without the aid of physician is curl
Gus as we'll as Interesting.
Previous to the closing OF the schools
to children not vaccinated DR.. p. G..
Reilly was called in and vaccinated a
little sister of Werts' on the arm.
The vaccination "took" in first class
style and the little girl endured all
stages of the effect At last she reached
the itching one, and after trying finger
nails and rubbing to allay the itching
she hit upon the brilliant idea OF using
the hair brush, which proved very
fair scratcher. She brushed over the
vaccination once or twice, and was so
delighted with the result that she used
the brush several different times.
Now her brother had purchased a
new shirt. Ii was WOODEN shirt and
those who have ever worn WOO en-
shirts next to the skin will appreciate
the young mans endeavors to find
someone who would scratch his back.
Finally getting desperate he took off
the shirt and called his little sister to
do the scratch act. Remembering the
delightful results that had accompanied
her use of the hair brush she alleviated
her brothers suffering with that same
article.
He said it felt good and as she ex-
pected to receive some pecuniary re
ward for her services she brushed his
back well.
The next day DR.. Klump was sum-
moned to the house for some sickness
and was told that the boys back was
broken out. He examined it and as it
looked a little like small pox he sum-
moned DR., Rely, and they in turn
sent for DR.. Youngman and Health
Officer Richter. They came near get,
ting up good case of small pox ou I
of it, but the hair brush incident
happened to be recounted and gave
away the secret of the trouble. An ex'
animation disclosed the fact that the
young man had been vaccinated on
the back in forty seven different and
distinct places, and Job and all his
bolls won't be Sin it" with that man
when those forty seven vaccinations
get in good working order. He is II
years old but his never having been
vaccinated before will have been more
than made up by this exciting plantation
of vaccinations The fact that no new
sores have appeared since the frs
examination proves conclusively the
hair brush theory and that it is no
smallpox.

Requisites of a Newspaper Man.

c. B. Johnson, in his short talk TO
the Wilkes Barre High school pupils
on Friday on newspaper life, said
among other things: "If man be
patient as beaver, keen eyed as an
argus, sly as hippopotamus, gentle as
gaelic with his friends and cold
blooded as a crocodile with his
enemies, with nerves that can be sus-
tanned with out sleep, a stomach to
which ginger pop Is as refreshing as
champagne and boarding house hash
as a delicate ragout; if in addition TO
all this, he has a soul to ignore the
shiney sleeve to his coat and the hole
in his unmentonables, with no fear Of
those he owes and no exceptions from
those who owe him, he may start In
with some faint show of success in
country journalism. ."-Leaaer.

TAKING IT TO TIE SUPREME COURT.


The Supreme Court last week re-
versed the Common Pleas Court,
Schuylkill county, in the case of the
county Of Schuylkill VS., James f.
Minogue, appellant, in an opinion
hrnded down by Chief Justice Sterrett.
MIR. Minogue was attorney for the
County Commissioners, and the Audit
ors of the county in going over the
accounts charged him with having over
drawn $4eo for solicitors fees.
The case was carried into the courts
where judgment was entered and Mr..
Mnogue Fl ed rule to show cause
why the judgment should not be strick
en- off on the ground that the Auditors
had no jurisdiction in his case.
The lower court discharged the rule
and this appeal was then taken. Chief
Justice Sterrett reviewed the case at
some length, and, after discussing the
questions of law involved, reversed the
decree OF the lower court discharging
the rule, reinstated the rule and ordered
and decreed that the rule be made alb
solute and the judgment discharged,
the costs in both the lower court and
the Supreme Court to be paid by the
county of Schuylkill.

Where Rats Are Utilized

Almost everywhere in the world, ex-
cept in Paris, rats are considered as a
troublesome nuisance to be got rid of
by any means possible. The Parisians,
on the contrary, convert this nuisance
into a useful member Of society and a
source Of revenue. In Paris rats are
collected from every possible source
and placed in the great pound, where
the carcasses of all animals dying in
the city are thrown. These remains are
speedily disposed of by the rats, which
leave behind nothing but the cleauly-
picked bones. There are no such sea
vengers as rats. About four times a
year these rats are killed and their
skins are utilized in the everywhere
admired form Of Partisan gloves to
decorate the hands of ioveliness the
world over.
