told that he would be dismissed if he
broke any of the china that was under
his charge. On the morning of a great
dinner party he was entrusted (rather
rashly) with a great load of plates,
which he was to carry upstairs from
the kitchen to the dinning-room, and
which was piled up and rested on his
hands. In going upstairs his foot
slipped and the plates were broken to
atoms. He at once went to the draw

boards on his back yard fence he struck
his thumb with q hatchet and awoke,
thus realizing for the first time that he
had been working in his sleep.
among othcy things that he has done
while in the somnambulistic state was
TO lay q worm fence for a distance of
200 yards. one night he fell asleep
thinking he would arise early on the
following day and cut a small ditch to
drain a 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 basket
took 1t to a nearby grocery store and
traded 1t for coffee and sugar For a
lonE time he wGs al a loss TO account for
tho missing butter. Neither did he know
whence came the coffee and the sugar.
however, since realisng that he is q

toned the grocer, who reCollected the
