.An interesting case of somnambu-
nsm is reported by NJ. Badaire, director
of the Normal School at Blois, France
1t is accredited by DIR. Dufay and print
ed In The Proceedings of the Society
of Psychical Research" writes DIR. R.
Osgood Mason, in the Ladies' Home
journal. ''Theophile Janicaud was a
pupil at the Normal School, and in the
month of July of his second year he
commenced to walk in his sleep. On
one occasion he got up in the night
determined to go fishing. His brother
in-law, NJ. Simonet, decided to accom-
pany him, but before starting he sue
ceeded in inducing him to alter his
plans and go and visit relative in
stead. Accordingly this was done,
Janicaud remaining fast asleep and un-
disturbed by the barking dogs or the
fatigue of long walk Finally he was
ready to return, and on the way, COM
ing to a narrow and dangerous path
close to the river, his brother-in in-law
cautioned him to go carefully in the
darkness. Janicaud, with some scorn,
declared that he could see the better of
the two, and to prove it asked Simo-
net II he could see the match under
his foot. Simonet felt under his foot,
and sure enough there was the match.
1t was dark night, and besides Jani-
caud was some thirty feet ahead of
him and had his nightcap drawn close
~ over his face"

A SONG FOR THE SELFISH.

When you and were young, my dear,
Ere lines had marked your brow.
Ere God had sent the loved ones here
That cling about US now
When you and l were free from care,
We thought the world was very fair
When you and were young. my dear
But we are older now, my dear,
And worried by the cares
or those who cling around US here
And have their love affairs
Ere you were grieved by others woes
You were as radiant as a rose,
But now your brow has burrows, deal
When you and were young, my dear,
We thought the Lord was good,
But that was ere we had to bear
The weight of parenthood!-
The cares Of those we loved, sweetheart
A spice to human joys impart,
And feed the hungry soul, my dear.
When you and l were young, my deaf.
And neither knew a care,
/ trod a pathway that was clear,
And let you, trembling, there
But the happiness of careless days
Has broadened in a hundred ways
Since others cling about US, dearl

EMPRESS TAlTou.

some 1diosyncras1es or Abysstn1a,s
Rather Remarkable Queen.
There is no European queen consort
filling a more dignified station than
the Empress Taitou of Abyssinia. She
has large household Of her own, her
lord stewards, chamberlains, buffers,
cooks and guards. She directs all the
grand feasts, has immense appanages
all over the empire, and resources in
kind. She leads a sedentary life be-
cause there are no interesting prone
nades, but when she shows herself in
public she Is surrounded with ladies,
mounted on richly harnessed mules,
with runners, umbrella-bearers and
other attendants. The umbrellas are
Of many colors, but Taitou's is red.
The empress is a stickler for eti-
quette, to which Menelek attaches no
importance. Nobody who has not been
formally presented to her must gaze
on her even within the precincts of the
palace. She has large kitchen gar
den, which Is one of her many delights,
but the moment the red umbrella ap-
pears the gardeners must retire. All
the servants stand aloof with downcast
eyes as she walks by. Not taking much
exercise, Taitou is lost in fat. Never.
theless. her presence is dignified. She
Is wonderfully well informed, conyerses
cleverly, and can be charming. Her
letters are well written, and in q
bright, natural style. They might put
to shame those of many a well-edu-
Gated European lady. The dress of
the empress is only distinguished from
that of her ladies by its impeccable
cleanliness and neatness. = London

That famous southern clergyman
Rev. DR.. Porter, recently told good
story illustrating the whimsical in
genuity of the Ethiopian mind. A
southern planter who was puzzled by
the disappearance of c great deal Of
rice found out that it had been pur-
loined by a favorite slave. He sent
for the latter and said: Sam, am
very sorry to discover that you are a
thief and have been taking my rice. !"
The slave smiled and answered: at

thief" "How do you make that out p,

for the salmon. The salmon swims
along unsuspectingly. Mr.. Hog is ready
for him. Quick as a flash he fastens
his greedy jaws about the great fish and
carries him ashore, there to devour him
with the greatest relish. Then back he
slips into the water to watch for the
next traveller along that way.S He will
keep this up until his hunger is salts
fed. This indulgence ruins the hogs
for pork, however, as 1t gives it a
"fshy" taste, and no one will buy it
That is the reason the farmers keep

DISTANCE of the Dog-star.

DR.. David Gill, whose measures of
the parallaxes of the stars, by means
of which their distances can be calcu-
lated, are among the most accurate
known, has recently deduced anew the
results of his observations of Sirius,
the dog-star, which Is the brightest
star in the heavens. He thinks we may
now regard its paraIlax as satisfactor-
lily determined at 0.37 of a second of
arc. This makes the distance of Sirius
in miles 81, 600, 900, 900, 900. In other
words, the dog-star is nearly five hun
dred and fifty thousand times farther
from the earth than the sun is.
