Honest Mistake.

The story is told of little New Eng
land girl the workings Of whose Puri-
tan conscience involved her in dim
culties on one occasion.
She was studying mental arithmetic
at school and took no pleasure In 1t.
One day she told her mother, with
much depression Of spirit that she had
"failed again in mental arithmetic"
and on being asked what problem had
proved her undoing she sorrcwfully
mentioned the request for the ADDITION
of mine and four"
"And didn't you know the answer,
dearT asked her mother.
"Yes'm," said the little maid; 'but
you know, we are to write the answers
on our states. and before ] thought
made four marks and counted UP. Ten,
'leven. twelve, thirteen and then, OF
course, knew that wasn't mental, SC
1 wrote twelve for the answer to bs
fair."-Youth's Companion.

rhe Habit. of the Robin.

Let us hide behind that elump Of
blackberry bushes and watch the par
ent birds as they come to feed their
young. There comes the father robin
now. You can distinguish him from
the mother by his darker plumage.
You will notice that In coming with
the food he aiights on particular
twig, hops along particular branch
and alights on particular side of the
nest. If you watched him for week,
you would probably see him approach
the nest in precisely the same way
each time. Now here comes the moth
er, a lighter coIored bird, with gray
on the back Of her head. You see that
She reaches the nest by quite differ
ent route and alights upon the other
side of it, and abe will do this over and
over and over (gain Like men and
women. birds acquire habits which
they rigidly adhere TO unless something
happens to prevent them Ernest Har-

PROFESSOR
S Awakened
Difficulty.
Spectators Feared lie Would
Drown In His Grave.

Reading, Pa, July 3.-Professor w.
w. Kretz's experiment, in which he
allowed imself to. be buried in box
under six feet of earth, while in an
hypnotic condition came near resulting
fatally to the professor.
He fell under the hypnotic influence
exercised by himself, was buried and
was to have remained under ground
nutil last night, but a terrific rain
storm set in after midnight.
The ground around the professors
grave at the fair ground was deluged.
Those on watch became alarmed lest
the water enter the coffin and the
hypnotist be drowned.
When the storm showed no signs OF
abating at 8 o'clock next morning the
watchers summoned assistance and the
coffin was hastily dug up. When
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1902-07-04

raised to the surface it was found that
the water had already begun to drip
into the coffin. Had 1t remained in the
ground few minutes longer its occu'
pant would have been drowned.
The professor, though soaked, was
still sound asleep. He had controlled
his influence so that. he would not
awake until the specified time.
After three hours hard work he
partly revived, but he has been in a
sort of stupor all day. The professor
is much disappointed at the interrupt
tion of his sleep, and even says there
was no necessity for it, even though
there had been a heavy rain all day
long.
He says his watchers were needless
ly alarmed.
He declares he will repeat the expe-
riment next Sunday morning.
Professor Kretz says that were 1t not
for the Combined efforts of John
Franklin, of Lebanon, and George G.
Ketterer, both hypnotists, he would
still be asleep.
