A Biddeford clerk, who is something of
a somnambulist,a woke to great surprise
one morning recently. Under his head
lay big piece of patchwork, three whole
squares, carefully sewed. This somewhat
surprised him, but under the bed clothing
was something that surprised him still
more. In fact here was whole house
keepers outfit, spool of thread, pair OF
scissors, pin cushion. needles and loo
of calico from which the patchwork had
been made The clerk cannot explain
how all this occurred He knows abso-
lutely nothing about it. He tells the
story himself and there is no reason to
doubt its truth. 1t is certainly remark
able that he should have got up in the
night and have begun to make patch
work, but that surely must have happened,

his mother and she knew nothing about

a branch at Shanghai. Some of the most

The enterprise is regarded as another in

freely assisted the government of China
with money, and have already penetrated
to the interior of China. where they are
supplanting the British. An article which
appears in this evenings issue OF the

English view the situation. This article
says: Russia will unquestionably extort
