A man who once met Ralph Waldo

Of the characteristic way in which the
Concord philosopher blunted the edge
of a compliment.
"Oh, MIR. Emerson, said q younk

Many well-born but needy members
of the British aristocracy raise the
wind by selling invitations to their
houses to social aspirants. Mr.. Henry
Labouchere says: "An acquaintance of
mine, a pleasant enough snob in his
way, although he would have robbed a
church to make money and would have
cheerfully paid half the plunder to Sc
cure social recognition. once explained
to me the whole process. 1 was sur
prised when he told me the sums he
had paid. Women" he said, "are
never satisfied" do they expect you
to make love to them?" asked. "oh.
no." he replied, "there is nothing of
that sort expected. What they want
is money against invitations. I gen.
orally say that I have made 1t for them
in the city (sneculating in stocks), but
I don't think they really believe it.
It is only civil way Of explaining"

one great weakness which IL common
to men OF his location and habits of
life. His horizon Is bounded by the
Allegheny mountains, He has never
been west of Chicago, and has seldom
strayed as far away from home as
Buffalo or Pittsburg. He knows no
more OF western life and methods and
progress than IL he lived In the center
OF England. and whenever western
people dlffer from him In sentiment he
charitably believes 1t Is because they
nave not had his advantages OF asso-
cintion with the faculty of Harvard
college ana other wise and learned
men In Boston. II all the people of the
earth could enjoy moral and intellec-
tuni contact with "the better scnti-
ment OF Massachusetts" that has been
his birthrlght. Mr.. Hoar would be very
thankful, but having been deprived OF
that blessed privilege they cannot diff
Ter from him In opinion without being
entirely wrong. Mr.. HOar Inherited
this feeling from Charles Sumner.
II may surprise the readers OF the
Record TO learn that SO good man as
the secretary of the navy and so good
man as the secretary of the Interior
have never been In the West. Mr.. Bliss
went to Omaha with the President
last October and learned great many
things. Secretary Long has not even
had that advantage. and had never
been south Of the Potomac river until
he accompanied the President on his
recent journey to Georgia. II would be
to the public welfare II Congress
should make an appropriation to send
Mr.. Honr and other New England

Especial Letter.)


In Perry, o. T., n remarkable fatal
lty occurred on Nov. IL last. Out on
he sea OF prairie which surrounds that
town settler named Henderson had
built one of those humble homes
which are an architectural character
istic Of new country. Thelhouse was
plain and unpretentious, but 1t was as
good as that of his nelghbors. and 1t
was home for him, his wife. and his
little ones. Now the house Is rooaess
and forlorn, two OF the children are
dead, and another. with arms and legs
broken. lies on bed OF suffering. It
all came so suddenly and in so un-
paralleled manner. They were
sleeping. and on them was that sense
of calm security which comes to us all
when night draws her sable curtain
down. Then. out of the peaceful. star
lit skies. death came to some and woe
to all. There was no roar of the
tempest to warn them: there was no
crash of heavens artillery to prepare
them for their fate. One moment the
hush OF sleep was upon them; In the
next the deeper hush Of death had
sealed their lips and stilled their

hearts forever. AS has been said,
death sent his messenger from the sky.
A meteoric shower coming from who
knows what unknown and unfathom-
able spaces. made that little home its
mark, and its aim was true. One
stone, largely composed Of iron and
more than foot In diameter, crashed
through the roof, and the bed where
the two children slept was in Its path.
1t left their mangled bodies behind as
1t buried itself in the earth, and they
never knew how death came to them.
The arms and legs of another child
were broken by falling pieces Of the
roof, and the entire family was buried
in the debris of the cabin. On the
prairie within a radius of a mile were
found six pieces Of what undoubtedly
was one exploded meteor. So occurred
a casualty of which Oklahomans will
talk with awe and horror for nine
days or SO, while men of science will
make solemn and sagacious memoran-
da of the circumstances and file them
away for future reference. For time
spectacled strangers with knobby fore
heads and protruding brows will prowl
about the ruins of the humble Hender-
son cabin, hunting for fragments Of
black meteoric stone; then they will
depart, and gossips and science will
unite in turning to a later wonder.
After all, perhaps it should be said
that the real marvel of the Oklahoma
instance is that it did not occur in
some more densely inhabited part Of
the earth. Just why the celestial can
non ball should have chosen for its
victims those who dwelt in a sparsely
settled wilderness, and why year after
year similar ones should miss the
numerously populated parts of the
world, are questions that suggest
themselves and always are unanswer-
able. Natures bombardment contin-
ues eternally, and Its victims are won

Amazing Audncity.

Each interested observer of the part
the American navy has had in the
recent war. has a favorite incident
which stands clear from all other
events of the campaign. For stern
bravado. says the United Service Mag
azine, 1t would be hard to rival the
feat of Ensign Gillis, who saw stray
torpedo coming slowly but surely to-
ward the anchored torpedo-boat Por-
ter. He sprang overheard, turned the
nose of the torpedo in safer direc-
tion, and screwed up the fring-pin
tightly SO that it would not operate.
Then treading water. he saluted Lieu
tenan Fremont and reported: "Sir, i
have to report have captured tor
pedo.' Bring it on board. SIR" COM
manded Fremont; and Gillis actually
did SO, swimming with it to the shin
ana fastening tackle to it.

SLEEP-WALKINo,
Something About This Queer and Das.
gsrous Habit.

Sleep-walking. or somnambullsm.
Is neither SO common nor so enter
tanning habit ns readers Of a cer-
tain kind of stories might be induced
to believe. 1t is. us little reflection
will convince us. n habit. or we might
even say n malady. which exposes Its
victim to great peril. The somnam-
bulist is In n condition very similar
to that OF hypnotized or mesmerized
person. The action of the mind Is
greatly restricted. in that the reason
ing faculty is almost completely In
allegiance, and everything the person
does is purely automatic and perform
ed under the influence of single idea.
But the very fact that the mind.
crippled as Its powers are, acts solely
In one direction and Is not distracted
by external Impressions, makes the
persons actions more certain than
they would be In a waking state. Thus
somnambulist may walk along the
edge OF roof with perfect steadincss.
while. II awake. he would certainly
turn dizzy and fall. So. too. in tot
ally dark room. the sleep-walker will
often move about without stumbling
against chairs or tables, or Will seat
himself at a desk or stand holding
many objects without upsetting one.
Although We do not know with GER
tainty the condition OF the brain In
somnambulism. observation has taught
US to recognize many OF the CAUSES
that induce 1t, and SO to control the
habit in great measure. These causes

may be mental. such as worry, brood
ing over one idea, and hard study, es-
pecially late at night: or physical,
such as late suppers. insufficient exer-
else. and sleeping with the head too
low. Most sleep-walkers are either OF
a nervous constitution, or have re-
ceived some severe shock. great grief
or immoderate joy, which has tempor-
arily disturbed their nervous equilib-
rum. The young Of both sexes are
most subject to sleep-walking, and
when tho habit Is formed In youth 1t
is usually outgrown in a few years.
The confirmed somnambulist should
avoid all the mental and physical
causes above mentioned. The bed
clothing should be light. the sleeping
room of good size and well-ventilated.
Much time should be passed in the
open air. and over-application to
studies must be carefully avoided. In
obstinate cases the patient should not
be left alone at night, and doors and
windows should be securely fastened.
If he is discovered out Of bed he should
be gently guided back, and should not
be awakened until once more lying
