-Four or five Washington pastors were hav-
Ing pleasant little meeting the other after
noon at the study OF one of them and they
were having comparatively as much fun out
OF 1t as that many FOUNDERS would have had
at saloon knee deep in forty-seven varieties
OF tipple. They were telling Sunday school
stories. as a rule, relates the Washington
Star, but they swung around after while to
temperance.
I'm my youth in Virginia." said the host,
we had, what Is rare nowadays, tO-wit, a
lot OF more or less seedy and shabby genteel
old fellows who went about the country de-
livering lectures on temperance and getting
out or 1t only about so much as would clothe
and feed them. Some OF them were no
doubt good and conscientious men, but among
them were many, who, notwithstanding their
professions, dearly loved to take a glass of
something warming to the inner man.
Most OF these tipplers were very particular
not to have the rumor get abroad that they
ever tasted the vile stuff and when they took
their drinks they observed great secrecy.
remember there was one whom we thought
TO be a most abstemlous old fellow and no
one thought he ever tasted drop. Partlcu-
larly a maiden aunt Of mine who lived with
my mother and was as rigid temperance
woman as ever came out OF New England.
My mother was much more liberal and
wanted always to entertain these workers in
the good cause but my aunt had become so
suspicious Of all Of them except this particu-
lar one that he was the only one who could
nnd a nights lodging at our place.
'One night this old chap came to stay all
night and he had such severe cold that my
mother prescribed rubbing OF goose grease
on his feet and toasting 1t in by the fire be-
fore he went to bed Now, as II happened, in
the room where he slept there was new
carpet which my aunt had presented to my
mother as a birthday gift and there was an
old-fashioned sidehoard in the same room
with a two-gallon jug OF good whisky on
II, which somebody had forgotten to put in
side and lock up. At 8 o'clock the black boy
carried in the goose grease 10 our guest and
left him sitting before the fire.
Just what happened after that nobody
knows, but after the guest had departed
next morning and the servants went to
straighten up the room they found tracks
innumerable between the fireplace and the
Sideboard and In some way II was discovered
that the old fellow, afraid Of taking cold. had
creased his socks and toasted the grease
into his feet through them, and while the
toasting was going on he made regular and
frequent trips to the Jug or course II the
tracks on the carpet had not betrayed him
no one would have ever noticed by the jug
that he had been drinking out OF H. He

A MECHANICAL TURNOVER.
California Man Inycnts n COntrivnncc
To Prevent Insomnia.


Walter Hyde of Alameda. Cal, has in
vented a contrivance that turns him over
in bed once every hour during the night,
When Mr.. Hyde retres he winds up clock
attached to his bed, and regularly every
hour when the clock strikes the mattress
Is gently twisted in such a manner as to
cause the occupant to roll over. Mr.. Hyde
is man of advanced age and does not en-
Joy the best of health. His greatest physi-
cal inconvenience has been an incomplete
circulation of the blood, causing sleepless-
ness. If he remains In one position for any
length of time a mild form of paralysis
follows and sleep becomes hopeless. Being
somewhat of a mechanical turn of mind,
Mr. Hyde concluded to experiment The re-
suit of his tnkering and thinking is the
mechanical Contrivance which hourly turns
him over without awaking him from his
slumbers, and which he says works so
charmingly that his paralysis with accom-
panying sleeplessness is thing of the
past. The frame on which the mattress
rests hangs from the bedstead by means
of pinions, one at the head and the other
at the foot The frame is kept in position
by being secured at the sides to a clock
like apparatus with cogs and levers to tilt
the mattress frame, the motion of the
rocking being governed by the clock and
spring apparatus. The fitting of the frame
is so nicely graduated that the sleeper is
unconscious of the change, but continues
undisturbed in his nights sleep. as the
mechanism attached to the frame automat-
ically changes his position during the hour
to the right or the left side as the case
may be. The angle at which the frame is
tilted is never so much at its greatest that
the sleeper on a wide mattress is in dam
ger OF being rolled out of bed.
