AN hotels have more or less ex-
perience with somnambulists," said the
clerk of one of the New Orleans
houses, but we had case here recent
ly that is certainly entitled to first
today gentleman registered with us
from-well. l guess it would hardly be
fair to give his address-it was town
in an adjoining state, and I assigned
him myself to a room on the second
floor. At about 1 o'clock the. first
night he was here he walked down
stairs and disappeared through the
front door. In an hour or thereabouts
he came back, and as he was passing
through the lobby some guests who
happened to be standing there talking
noticed that he was barefooted. OF
course they were greatly startled, but
he paid no attention to them and
walked sraight on upstairs. Natural
ly they concluded that he was either
drunk or crazy, and when they told
the clerk on duty about 1t he thought
they were joking. Nevertheless, he
mentioned the matter to me, and told
him to keep an eye open for the gem
tleman the next night. l saw him sew
eral times during the day, and he ap-
peared to be all right, but at about the
same hour as before he came down
stairs again, and, sure enough, he was
in his bare feet. Otherwise he was
fully dressed; he had his hat on his
ba no nf a
man in a brown study. AS on the
first occasion, he spoke to nobody, and
one of the employees of the house slip
ped out behind him. He went
straight up the street, walking very
slowly, and looking neither to the
right nor the left. After going eight
or nine blocks, he stopped. and then
strolled back. When he entered the
hotel he passed under strong light.
and it was plain from the appearance
of his eyes that he was sound asleep.
He went upstairs. entered his room,
which he had left open. and that was
the last seen of him for the night.
Next morning | took him aside and
told him what had occurred. He was
perfectly dumbfounded, yet he said
that he had arisen both mornings with
vague recollection of having taken
midnight walk, which he supposed was
merely a dream. He had also been
puzzled to note that his feet were
soiled and bruised. He stayed with us
one more night. but did not repeat the
performance. The man is well-to-do
merchant, and assured me that he had
not walked in his slepD befOre-at
least, not to his knowledge-since he
was child."-New Orleans Times

Worlds Big Boats.

The English marine publication, the
Syren. says: I'VE British pride our
selves that the aggregate tonnage OF
British ships approximates to the total
merchant tonnage owned by the re-
naming maritime countries of the
world, but there Is another phase of
the matter where comparison with
other nations places us in position
other than first. 1t appears we have
only eleven vessels of over 10000 gross
tons-headed by the Oceanic, with her
1900 tons. But Germany has twen-
ty-three vessels in that category. The
United States is the only other nation
with vessels above 10000 tons and she
has four. The biggest ship owned by
France is $3.50 tons. while Norways
greatest ship is of 3,277 tons gross In
speed Great Britain is right ahead of
her competitors, having thirty-one ves-
sells with a speed of twenty knots or
more; Belgium has six, the United
States four, Germany and Holland
three each, France two and Russia one
Thus in speed the British flag excels
the world, while the disparity between
Germany and this country, so far as
size Is concerned, will soon be lessened.

Use of Peanuts.

New York Evening Post: The use
of peanuts in the preparation of va
rious dishes is increasing. wafer to
be offered at afternoon teas is made
by chopping very fine a pint of the
shelled nuts and mixing them with
three eggs. two tablespoonfuls of milk.
a little salt, and cup of sugar
creamed with two tablespoonfuls of
butter. Flour is added to make soft
dough, which is rolled very thin, cut
into strips and baked in a moderate
ovsn. Peanut sandwiches, too. are
appetizing and nutritious. either for
tea or with the salad at luncheon or
dinner. Several receipts are followed
to make them. good one calling for
brown bread. This is cut in thin
slices and very lightly buttered. spread
with cream cheese and a layer of fine
ly chopped nuts. The slices are then
pressed together and cut in circles or
oblongs. At the grocer's may be
found peanut butter put up in tum-
blers or small jars that is also in
tended for use in sandwiches. The
compound is manufactured by several
different firms, all of whom claim
great nutritive as well as appetizing
value for their product.

Gems In California.

San E.ancisco Chronicle: 1t is a well
known fact that several hundred dia-
monds of commercial size have from
time to time been found in connection
with gold placer workings in certain
portions OF this state. Within twelve
months twenty-seven stones have been
found in one placer mine on the Feath
er river, all but one being in the rough
and globular. while the twenty-seventh
showed a well defined crystalline struc-
ture. The largest of these weighed
but single carat, and the small octa-
hedral brilliant weighed but quarter
of carat. but all were stones OF pure
water. The recent discovery of zicron
sands close to the limits of Oakland
has alrea1y~been announced in the
Chronicle, but the discoverer is not yet
prepared to define the locality, prob
ably for commercial reasons. Near
Marvel, San Bernardino county. tur-
quoises have been found which in color
and quality surpass the Oriental gems.

The Absurdity of Believing In Signs.


People who believe in signs"
he said, give me feeling of extreme
lassitude. The other night l met, two
big, strong men, who happened, just as
L was passing them, to glance up at the
new moon. If they had been a couple
of schoolgirls or two old women
wouldn't have been surprised, but
when they stopped and iingied the
money they had in their pockets it
made me lose faith in the superiority
Of the human race. What has the moon
to do with our affairs? Why should
any one with ordinary sense suppose
for moment that spilling little salt
may get him into trouble? The alb
surdity of it all ought, it seems to me,
be apparent to any one who has got
beyond the necessity of taking his
milk from bottle Here, let's cross

Enec, of Electricity on Trees.

A piece of information fresh
from Brussels is causing good
deal of comment In gardening
circles. 1t IS announced that an
extraordinary phenomenon has been
noticed with regard to the chestnut
trees in the Avenue Louise, n popular
thoroughfare of the Belgium met
ropolis, since the installation of the
electric street railways. Their foliage
begins to turn brown and drop early
in August. TO bud and even to blossom
again in October. This occurrence Is
all the more striking since the trees on
the opposite side of the tramway show
no such erratic inclinations. They be-
have like ordinary trees, losing their
foliage In the late fall and not putting
forth fresh blossoms until the spring.
After advancing all kinds of theories
the botanists have at length come TO
believe that the cause of the novel dis
play is the electric current, which pass
es underground and stimulates the
roots of the trees, which are otherwise
quite healthy. This is quite in line
with the results attained in the stimu-
lating of lowering plants and shrubs
by the periodical application of cleo
tricity

and the demure-looking woman said:
The most amusing upstart l ever met
had a horror of any one suspecting
that she ever practiced economy. She
was very fond of walking and loved to
walk in the park, but she seldom per-
mitted herself this pleasure, always go
ing in her carriage-for fear some one
she knew should meet her and imagine
she did not have a carriage. Her
household was conducted on the same
principle She knew few people whom
she thought worth entertaining, so her
dinner parties were small, but SO anx-
ious was she to be thought rich and
liberal that she would have butler
and three or four assistants to wait
upon half a dozen persons. or
course, they got in each others way
and often collisions and crashes oc-

she didn't understand why she couldn't
get good servants. She paid enough.
goodness knows. Her follies were
many and very funny before she finally
entered the sacred portal and was CIV
en- throne of her own and a scepter
to WELD, but one of her pet extrava-
gances was really quite original. 1t
was in her early days, when money
didn't seem to be able to buy every
thing, after all. She gave dinner to
which she had reason to think sew
eral grandees would come. And when
she sent out her invitations she put
five-cent stamp on each envelope!'

Tho peepe.t OIL Well.

1t is claimed that the Forest Oil
Company has the deepest oil well on
the Bedell farm, in the MonOngahela
river valley, about twenty-five miles
from Pittsburg. The hole has been
drilled to a depth of 5,532 feet, but
work has been suspended owing to a
break in the 2X-inch rope used. AS a
result 1000 feet of rope and string
of tools are at the bottom. Experts
are at work on the fishing job and
hope to be able to resume drilling soon.
1t is proposed to sink the well 6,OOO
feet.

Chinese Are AWaka.

The latest Chinese papers state that
there are at present six smokeless pow
der factories in operation in the Chi
nese empire. Official estimates state
that the output of these factories will
soon amount to $4,000 "catties" n
month. The government is said to
have over 100000 cartridges loaded
with smokeless powder in its maya
zines already The dowager empress
has also authorized the speedy erection
of factories for the manufacture of
small rapid-fire cannon, and it is pre-
sumed that large orders for the neces-
sary machinery will soon be made.

Inrcnius Schemes for DrawinC Wiret
Through Conduits.

Tn MANY cities where conduits for cleo
tric wires and cables built in the early
days of electrical development have been
of a lineman that functionary is often put
to straits when a repaired or new wire or
cable has to be laid. To overcome this
difficulty many linemen have trained
dogs to go from one end of a section Of
the conduit to the other. dragging along
the wire, which has been ATTACHED to Il
little harness devised for the. purpose:
This useful addition to the working stan
of many an electric light station has been
superseded by an ingenious mechanism
consisting of a clockwork traveller, which
will cover 400 feet by one winding or the
spring This little carrier is first sent
through the pipe or conduit dragging q
string, which can subsequently be used
to pull a wire or cable through, or larg-
er rope of sufficient strength to haul the
cable. The mechanism gets over the
ground very quickly. and as 1t Is sure IN IN
the pocket. it has been taken to very
kindly by linemen.

Used His Brains,

Sometime ago a brakeman on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad used his
brains and saved q passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.
The Company sent him a check for
$50 and posted a bulletin compliment
ing him for his quickness of thought.
A few days later, Engineer John Hag-
erty was oiling his engine at Connells-
Vile. while waiting for the passengers
to alight. He heard another train
coming and believed that it was not
under proper control. He sprang into
his cab, opened the throttle and start
ed his train. The other engine struck
the rear car but 1t was not hard blow
and HASerty's promptness saved ten
or 0t14 lives. The Company has
ordered a handsome gold watch, suit
ably inscribed, and a gold chain for
Engineer Hagerty, as a reward for his
devotion to duty and using his
brains" in time of emergency.

Soldier and Courtier.

Lord Kitchener of Khartum is a
straightforward soldier, but he does
not scorn the art of turning a compli-
ment gracefully. 1t has long been said
of him that he is proof against all
feminine charms, and when he waited
upon her majesty at Windsor, the
queen was curious enough to put a
pointed question. rs it true, my
lord she asked, that you have never
yet cared for woman?" Yes, your
majesty" replied the sirdar, quite
true-with one exception" "Ah!" said
the queen, "and who is She" The
sirdar bowed. Your majesty" said
he
