SOMNAMBULIST.
Kentucky Farmer who Cultivates His
Lands While Asleep.

Lands While Asleep.
Archibald Clarke, farmer living near
Grump, KY, is without DOUBT the most
remarkable somnambulist in Kentucky,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. He has
actually, during the past summer, Guilt
waited four acres of land while asleep.
For long time Mr.. Clarke suspected his
neighbors of stealing into his truck
patches after night and doing the work,
but finally one night while mailing some
boards on his back yard fence be struck
his thumb with Ratchet and awoke,
thus realizing for the first time that he
had been working in his sleep. Among
other things that he has done while in
the somnambulistic state was to lay
wire fence for a distance of 200 yards.
One night he fell asleep, thinking he
would rise early on the following day
and cut small ditch to drain pond,
but great was his surprise when the
next morning he found that the pond
had been dltched during the night. On
one occasion he got up shortly after he
had fallen to sleep and, putting several
pounds of butter in basket, took it to
a near by grocery store and traded it for
coffee and sugar. For long time he
was at loss to account for the missing
butter. Neither did he know whence
came the coffee and the sugar. However,
since realizing that he is confirmed
somnambulist, he has questioned the
grocer, who recollected the occurrence
and Mr.. Clarke's strange conduct 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.

Will Run on Snow and Ice and Even In
E the Water. II S RI
Motors for horseless sleighs are among
the latest novelties at the patent office.
They are light, powerful affairs, and
can be. run by an amateur as easily as
those attached to horseless carriages,
The sleighs are designed, says the New
York World, to run either on the snow
or ice A pair of spurred wheels is
arranged between the runners, and
with a little lever the driver can adjust
them so that they will work on the soft
snow just as smoothly as upon ice. One
inventor has also provided against the
danger of breaking through the ice.
Ills sleigh is. formed something like "a
boat, and is perfectly water tight. If
the ice should break the sleigh would
float, and the ice spurs would act as
paddle wheels in bringing you to shore
again.
One patent is for sleigh that NAV be
roWed across the ice. On the end of
each each oar is q heavy weight with a sharp
steel point to cut into the ice. Another
r row for the ice is rugged with slid
ing ing seat and legs with sharp spurs,
which p catch into the ice. and shove the
boat forward each time the rover mills
Considerable speed is obtained by this,
arrangement, although the rowing is
not as easy as upon the water.

Last winter a number Of literary peo-
pie INDUCED from time to time in ANA
teur theatricals. During February
they produced comedy. One Of the
actors, says London Tid-Bits, PLAYED
the part of a burglar and had to climb
up the outside Of the house in which
the entertainment was given and en-
ter through the window, which was AT
the rear of the improvised stage. He
hurried around from the dressing
rooms and valiantly commenced to
struggle up the wall, when a policeman
grasped him by the neck, thinking him
q ve ssr' burglar. He started to ex-
PLAIN, but the minion Of the law would
Ia; have 81 none Of it. The audience was won
' deringg in the meanttiime why the play,
did did not 2, proceed and the young actors
and q actresses on the stage were eagerly
waiting for the burglar to enter and
give them the cue, when they heard
s g yells, oaths and threats from
the garden. Rushing out, they found
the amateur burglar thrashing wildly
about the grass, while a brawny police
n. man sat on his shoulders hamm ering
his neck into the mud. ~

JEFFERSON AND Z HAMILTON.

Their Views on What Should Constitute
Fl, 'ssSs'* =. "Honest Money" ~ -
a paper was recently read before
literary society at Peoria, ILL.,, byfsa
Mr. ]. s. Burton, upon the life of JET
'ferson, which contained these interest
ing points on a question of vital inter-
est at the present time:
Jefferson was a true bimetallist,
and practical one. In 1890 he urged
congress to establish mint, as con-
templated by the legislation of 1885.
Secretaries Jefferson and Hamilton
(the latter also bimetallist) jointly
arranged the ratio of silver and gold.
Prior to the adoption of the constitu-
tion the Spanish milled or pillar dollar
was in general use. Some of these
were weighed and they were found to
contain 371A grains of pure silver; and
SO the American dollar was made to
contain q corresponding weight of sill
yer. By act of congress of April 2,
1892, the silver dollar, containing 571 n
grains Of pure silver and 43I grains of
copper was made the standard or unit
of value, and a piece of standard gold
containing q grains was made the
value Of dollar; and as the piece of
gold was. one-ffteenth the weight of the
silver in the dollar, the ratio of fifteen
to one was thus established, and the
constructive genius Of jefferson was
recognized and approved by Alexander
Hamilton and the federalist party, of
which he was the head. In support of
Jefferson's plan, the confidential aid,
friend and adviser of our first presi-
dent, Secretary Hamilton, in COM
munication to congress on January %,
1892, said: -
.n'Upon the whole it seems to me
most advisable not to attach the unit
exclusively to either of the metals, be-
cause this cannot be done without de-
stroying the Office and character of one
of them as money and reducing it to
mere merchandise. To annul either
OF the metals as money is to abridge
the Quantity Of the circulating medi-
Apms, and is liable to all the objections
which arise from the comparison of
benefits of full, with the evils of a
scanty, circulation
by assisting in providing the peo-
pie with bimetallic currency, and by
the issue of small bonds, which could
be used as money by our home people,

sources, and abundant streams of rev.
enne gushed forth. He touched the
dead corpse Of public credit and il
sprang upon its feet,

unique meCnOQs OF reasoning Which
Some People Adopt.
Charles Daniels, member of CON
gress from Buffalo, served 90 years on
the New York supreme court bench
before he was elected to congress. Re
Gently, in talking over old law cases
with a number of lawyers, says the
Troy Times, he told a story which was
a dazzling illustration of the unique
methods pursued by some. people
to arrive at conclusions. The case
in question was that of a man named
Greenfield, living in Oswego county
who had been convicted in the lower
court of the murder of his wife. The
case was carried to the court of ap
peals, which reversed the finding Of the
lower court. A special hearing was
ordered by the governor. This was
held at Syracuse, and Judge Daniels
was called upon to preside. In examin-
ing the jurors, one man said that he
was prejudiced in the matter. When
asked if he had CLEANED his prejudice
from the papers OF by talking with in
terested parties or by hearsay, he re-
piled to every question that he didn't
know thing about the case, but that
he was nevertheless prejudiced. He
was excused, but Judge Daniels was
not satisfied, and he sent the sheriff:
and had the juror brought to him. He
asked him where he had gained his
prejudice. The fellow replied: ST
don't know anything about the case,
but the lawyers made such idiots Of
themselves in examining the jurors
that I knew the man must be guilty.
