While He Slept

Archibald Clarke, a farmer Twin:
near Grump, Kentucky, is without
doubt the most remarkable sCTlnan
bulist in Kentucky. He has actually
during the past summer, cultivated foU:
acres of land while asleep.
For a long time Mr.. Clarke suspected
his neighbors Of stealing into his trucis
patches after night and doing the work
but finally one night while mailing Some
boards on his back yard fence he strucl
his thumb with a Ratchet and awoke,
thus realizing for the first time that ht
had been working in his sleep.
Among othec things that he has done
while in the somnambulistic state was
to lay a worm fence for distance o.
200 yards. One night he fell asieer
thinking he would arise early on tht
following day and cut small ditch tt
drain pond, but great was his sur
prise when the next morning he found
that the pond had been ditched dur
ing the night.
On one occasion he got up shortly
after he had fallen asleep, and putting
several pounds of butter in a baSkei
took it to a nearby grocery store ant
traded it for coffee and sugar. For
long time he was at q loss to account 70
the missing butter. Neither Gid he know
whence came the coffee and the sugar
However, since realizing that he is a
confirmed somnambuiist, he has ques-
toned the grocer. who recollected thC
occurrence Of Mr.. Clarkes strange con-
duct at the time
Mr.. Clarke lived alone, but since he
has discovered his condition, has en-
gagged the services of young negro who
takes care that his employer does not
get out of the house during his Sleep

was horror-strichen. He was confident
his wife was ignorant of the presence
OF the drug, to whose effect she was be-

she knew nothing of it. I fixed up a
little scheme with the husband. pre-

Ledger of Ideas.

One Of the greatest elements in sue
cesSful business Management is method
The judgment of a rich and a poor man
is not so widely apart as their wealth
besides, often the smarter is the poorer
business man. The whole world of COM
merce depends upon the practice of
bookkeeping, and all that bookkeeping
is can be reduced to this: A record OF
business transactions kept so that they
can be readily grouped and understood
as a concrete whole. Bookkeeping is
usually confined to a record of money
transactions. A friend of mine carries
the method still further; he keeps
books for his ideas and information
picked up at odd moments. In his vest
pocket he carries a little book which he
calls his day book.
In that he records everything he
wishes to remember, whether it is to
buy bottle of liquid glue to mend his
little girls doll or a social engagement
for the following week. Everythins
goes into the day book, from the name
OF a man who wants job to a scheme
7to make million that may go fitting
through his head. In addition to the
day book, my friend keeps ledger of
ideas" Into this are transferred all
such rnatters as are likely to be needed
for re reference, like addresses, sug-
gestIoIs in connection with his bust
ness, all grouped in such way that
they can be turned to in a moment.
When matter has been disposed of
pencil mark is drawn through it and
that ends it, except that it serves as a
memorandum Of the fact and the period
of time when entered, for these items
are divided by date lines indicating the
period when entered. - Minneapolis

Literary LunafIcS.

Are literary men more prone to in
sanity than others? Dr. Toulouse, the
celebrated Paris alienist. answered this
question after the suicide of Hippolyte
Raymonds, the French writer of COM
edy. Mental disorders among men of
letters" said DR.. Toulouse, ALWAYS ap-
peal more forcibly to the imagination
thar ordinary cases of insanity. But
we st not conclude that madness
is ,:.u- frequent among them than in
other walks OF life. The English have
a saying that great geniuses are all
madmen, but it would be going too far
to assert that man goes insane be-
cause he becomes passionate follower
of art or literature. There is 10 special
form Of insanity which attacks artists
or writer's, but the celebrity which the
successful ones achieve fascinates a
great many men who have talent, but
who also have abnormally emotional
temperamentS.
THE active brain work. the feverish
impatience with which they seek to
gain fame. and often the privations
tnat they endure-all these favor the
development Of the germs of madness
which lie dormant in many brains. and
which would never have made them
selves manifest if these persons hat
adopted calm and more yegetatiye
mode Of existence. It is my opinion
that the life led my most artists and
writer's is Of a sort that is especially
favorable to the bringing out in full
force Of any tendencies to insanity
which may exist in embryo in the bra
The slightest thing may then unbalancs
the mind. and it is that which too often

Nathaniel Simms, who in the early

county, Md. simIns says when four
teen years of age he was bound out to
! Mrs Surratt, there being seven other
colored boys on the place. He tells. IN
| the Philadelphia Inquirer, the following
respecting his mistress:
The missis lived at Surrattsville,
| about seven miles from Washington,
and, being a lady of wealth, owned con-
siderable of the village. She possessed

"She entertained frequently. John
Wilkes Booth was frequent visitor at
the house, he being very intimate with
my mistress son, John Surratt Booth,
a kind of helpless fellow, required a
good deal Of waiting on, and from him
received my first money I could say

the taking off Of President Lincoln
Bcoth was at the Surratt mansion

Of the President, Mrs. Surratt and L
went into Washington, and she bought
nine or twelve pistols at gunsmith's.
They were put in a little coffin, which

across the eastern branch bridge. The
guards supposed it was funeral, ana
made no attempt at searching. Mrs.
Surratt, after reaching home, hung the
pistols around on the walls Of her room.

Booth and John Surratt ate supper to-

Remarkable Case.

An interesting fact which will
illustrate how money travels, was re-
lated to Cataract representative a few
days since.
Some seventeen years ago, Mr.. r. A
Shuyler, at present employed on the
local customs force received in change
a half-dozen bright new Canadian half
dollars. Just previous to the time Mr..
Schuyler had had made a steel stamp
bearing his name and to test it, stamped
on each of the coins the word "Schuy-
ler." Of course he never expected to
see any one Of them again, and he
gradually disposed Of them until the last
left his possession. After that Mr..
Schuyler entirely forgot the occur
renee, but it was called to his mind some
five years ago by Mr.. Frank Lawson, who
at the time was running an elevator on
the Canadian side of the river. One
day Mr.. Lawson asked Mr.. Sc r if
he had ever stamped his ma a
Canadian half dollar, MENTIONS the
date, and the latter's mind at once re-
verified to the occasion some twelve
years before. Lawson then told him he
had that day received from an English
HILL udll-uolIaT bearing the mark
Schuyler" The Englishman had re-
ceived it at Liverpool! and Mr.. Lawson
valued 1T so highly as curiosity that
he refused to sell it to the former pos
SCISSOR whose name it bore.
Mr.. Schuyler thought no more of the
marked money until some days ago,
when he was quite surprised to find
among the money paid in at the custom
house half-dollar bearing his name
and without doubt one of those mark
ed by him. This he received and now
prizes it very highly.-Niagara Falls
