THE LOST WAS FOUND.

The House Number Looked Strange Be-
cause the Transom Was Tipped.
If any one had told him he was drunk,
he would not have resented it, but
would have made all effort to maintain
his equilibrium and dignity long enough
to explain that he was only q little
oozy woozy. He realized that he lived
at 206 Irvington street, and that his
residence was on the right hand side as
he wabbled along homeward The un-
certain light of early dawn, combined
with the blear in his eyes, rendered it
necessary for him to stop in front of
every house and gravely brace himself
against the ratings until he could focus
his eyesight on the number.
Finally he identified his house, but
after arguing with himself for couple
of minutes he came to the conclusion
that he was just WOODY enough to make
mistakes possible, SO to be absolutely
certain he balanced himself against the
front fence and studied the number Oh
the transom. Instead of 206 he saw 500.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again,
but the number had not changed. It
was still 500. Then he wondered how
it happened that he had got On the
wrong side Of the street and three
blocks too far out, made a zigzag across
the street and started back, but before
he had walked three blocks he came to
the end of the street.
The weary pilgrim was bewildered.
He couldn't understand it, but getting
his directions shaped his course up the
street on the right side and kept On IN
til he came to 500 again. He studied it
from every possible point Of view, even
trying to stand Oh his head to read it,
but it perversely remained 500.
Utterly bewildered, he sat down on
the steps and waited till q policeman
came along.
"I'm losht,'' he explained. II want
er 60 ter 206 Irvington street,
"This is the place, right here" de.
clared the officer.
"Can't be. Thish is 509."
"No, it amt. It's 206, but the tran
som is turned over"

RUSSIAN LODGING HOUSES.
= = m IS. = Ihoss o

Dil ro1.a .1koss &C
IN apartments houses ii Russia the
lodgings which open OF the COM nd
rent for q lower price, says writer ii
Lippincott's, because the entrance is
through q porte cochere, or, at night,
through a wicket therein. This is an
unobjectionable, rather an aristocratic,
arrangement in private house, but
elsewhere the courtyard may contain
too many stables, workshops or even
large number Of cows to supply dairy
shops, which profess to deal in Finnish
that is to say, in pure country but
ter, cream and milk. In this case also
the winters supply of wood for the
great house is sure to be stacked in piles
couple Of stories high SO close to the
less desirable lodgings that the project
of the town was obliged to issue an or
der protecting the poorer inhabitants
and regulating the position Of the wood
piles at proper distance from the
building for light and air.
Our researches revealed the fact that
very few 'furnished'' lodgings provided
either towels, bed linen, coverlets or
pillows, or anything, in fact, beyond
the bare bedsteads and furniture. Of
course we were aware theoretically that
this is "Reminiscences Of the days when
every landed proprietor travelled accom-
panied by an entire housekeeping outfit
and staff Of servants when he under
took those long carriage journeys which
preceded the days of railways and which
are still compulsory in some parts of
the empire. Nevertheless, in practice,
we were not prepared to accept this be-
You'd towels, and we protested that no
traveller should be obliged to drag such
bulky objects about with him in these
days of improved transit facilities. The
logic of this argument was not very
strong on our side, it is true, but most
travellers will agree with us neverthe-
less. The Russian lodging house people,
in return, seemed to regard us with
amazement and pity because we did not
possess these things and declined to pur-
chase them. Their idea must have been
that we were accustomed to sleep in
our clothes, like their own peasants.
In some cases they were willing to
provide the bed furnishings for con-
sideration, but they regarded one towel
week and one change of linen a month
as ample.

In sweetheart's eyes;

Additional evidences OF the Won

Hypnotic condition as shown by DR..

will commence three nights en-
gagement at the Grand Opera House
Monday night, November 30, are
given in the following article from
the Pulaski Record commenting on
the lecture and performance in that
city last Wednesday night:
His lecture was unanimously
pronounced as the best of the series.
At its conclusion a number of gem
tlemen went upon the platform, and
after a short time, Mr.. L. V. Griffin,
a young man who clerks for KeatOn
& Tidwell, was put under the hyp-
motto influence. He proved a fine
subject. Among other things, DR..
Price caused his left hand to be, to
all appearances, completely para
lyzed, and while in this condition
DR.. Butler was called upon the stage,
and stuck a pin clear through a
large bunch of the skin which he
pinched up, and Griffin did not
finch. He was also put into a sound
sleep, and while in this condition,
DR.. Price made a few passes over
him and his pulse ran up to ITO,
Then DIR. Price forced it down to Y
