How Royalty sleeps.

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown" says the poet But the pre-
cautions that are taken to assure un-
disturbed rest to King George of Eng
land must at least bring quiet to his
pillow. The outside of the royal pal
ace is, of course, guarded by soldiers
and detectives all night, and several
night watchmen pace up and down the
corridors through the hours of dark
ness, says the London correspondent
of the New York Sun.
These men are shod in thick felt slip
pers so that their footsteps will not
wake the royal sleeper, and one OF
them is always near the kings room
until his majesty is called by his valet
In the morning.
Every door and window in the pal
ace is frequently examined, and it
would be impossible for any intruder
to get in without being discovered.
The king is as well protected as the
car of Russia, who has guard of
armed Cossacks outside of his room, or
the king of Spain, who is watched by
q squad of specially picked soldiers,
who keep the keys of all the doors of
the palace during the night.

Typhoon In japan.

My room on the second floor rocked
and swayed, and it seemed as though
the building could not hold together.
After awhile grew accustomed to
the motion and the noise Of breaking
glass and dropped off to sleep, but a
terrific crash right by my ear brought
me up with a start. The sheet iron
shutters Of my windows had finally
succumbed to the fury of the gale and,
although fully eight inches outside of
the glass, had bent in until the win
dows, sash and all, lay shattered on
the floor. A drenching torrent whirled
in through the crack between the re-
sisting shutters, seized screen and
hurled 1t clear across the room on to
my bed and then seized the bed and
bounced 1t sayagely up and down.
Then part of the roof took leave and
slid past my window with the nerve
racking clatter Of coal pouring into an
empty steel bin.
By dawn the typhoon was satisfied
with what it had done and moved on
out to sea. retrieved my saturated
clothes and went downstairs. Melvin

Unconscious Memory.

The memory of sleepwalkers is oc-
casionally prodiglous under the infiu-
ence Of the dominating impulse that
moves them. There is an instance Of
poor and illiterate basket maker,
who was unable to read or write, yet
in state of sleep he would preach
fluent sermons, which were afterward
recognized as having formed portions
Of discourses he was accustomed to
hear in the parish church as a child
more than forty years before. Quite
as strange case of Unconscious
memory" is referred to by DR.. Aber-
crombie. A girl given to sleepwalking
was in the habit of initiating the violin
with her lips. giving the preliminary
tuning and scraping and flourishfng
with the utmost fidelity. It puzzled
the physician good deal until he as
certained that when child she lived
in room adjoining fiddler who often
performed on his violin in her hearing.

oratory and seasiekness.

According to a. c. Benson, it was the
habit of the late Professor Sidgwick.
when crossing the English channel, ito
take his stand in some secluded part
Of the vessel and to pour out audibly
and rhetorically his repertory of Eng
lish verse, accompanying it with a
good deal of emphatic gesticulation. I
believe that the first experiment was
successful and that he secured i'm
munity from nausea. But he said the
second time that he tried it he was
interrupted by one of the officers with
a message from the captain begging
him to desist on the ground that some
Of the lady passengers were frightened
by his behavior, being under the i'm
preston that he was mentally de-
ranged. He complied with the request.
and, deprived of its intellectual prophy-
Tactic, his brain succumbed to physical
sensations"

Il Made the Invention Of the Reapin9
Machine Success.
In 1880 Obed Hussey Of Ohio was In
venting a reaping machine, the first
ever designed in this country. His
chief difficulty was the cutting device.
which was three large sickles set in a
frame ant revolved SO as to cut into
the grain. II :, suld not work satisfac-
torily.
A young son, watching the expert
ments, asked his father why he did not
use lot of big scissors, with one ham
die fastened to one bar and the other
handle to a sliding bar. thus opening
and closing them.
Hussey instantly adopted the idea,
substituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are in common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to that Of
scissors.
From the boys suggestion he per-
fected in one week machine on which
he had in vain exercised all his in
genuity for the preceding two years
The principle of that cutting device is
the principle Of all of the great harvest
ing machines. and its benefit to the
farming industry of the entire world
has been unsurpassed by any other in
vention for use on the farm. George

That perryviIIe Road.

The State Road Commission have been
hearing from s.the folks back home"
concerning the proposal to build the road
in Cecil county leading to the Perryville
toll bridge. out of the county's apportion-
meut of the State Road fund.
The residents of this county are not OPP
posed to the good road movement, but
object to the Commission expanding
thousands of dollars of their good money
on road used principally by automobile
lists and that benefits for the most part
ont-of-county people and a private bridge
corporation. And il may be remarked
this Perryville Havre de Grace toll
bridge, controlled by few men on the
inside of State politics. and owned by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, is ''the
niger in the woodpile.''
The Maryland Legislature, two years
ago, appropriated $50. 1000 for the inn
provement of the Elkton Perryville road,
the impression at the time prevailing that
the road would be built of gravel, and
that the appropriation was liberal one
and ample for the completion of the
work.
But the State Road Commission sa fit
to construct an expensive concrete road,
not at the solicitation of the residents Of
the county, or for the use. primarily. of a
farming community for hauling to and
&C.. ....~f- ~ h,.k ~ kI,a ;~s;,<a,,k da,o~d
of an army of automobiles, for use as a
through route between Philadelphia and
Baltimore. and the money ran out before
one-half of the mileage of the road was
completed
It Is well known fact that the wishes
of the residents of Cecil county have been
given but slight consideration by the
State Road Commission in the construc-
ton OF this road, the influential factors
being the automobile clubs and the Per-
ryville-Havr de Grace bridge company,
this Litter private corporation reaping the
principal benefit, and not the county, as
the section through which the road passes
is for the most part but sparsely settled.
The impression prevails as well that
the commission intend to abandon the
original route as mapped out in the State
road system. This has been partially
built and runs through the upper section
Of the county, leading TO the Conowingo
bridge, which was purchased by the State
and Is open to the travelling public free of
charge.
If the colored gentleman in the wood
pile were smoked out of this Perryville
road business, it would be seen pretty
clearly that the old railroad bridge, at
present in the hands of a private corpora.
ton, and which the Pennsylvania rail-
road company hopes to unload onto the
people of this State, is at the bottom of
the scheme, which bids fair to become
scandal if probed deep enough.

Postmaster General Burleson has serv-

Congress that he do, s not intend to stand
for any violation of the civil service law
in the appointment of fourth class post
masters. He defines his position in no
numistakable terms in regard to the spoils
system. and states that merit only shall
rule in the select on of postmasters of the
fourth class.
Mr.. Burleson has served notice that the
common practice of permitting a Con-
gresham to recommend postmaster
after the Government has spent large
sums of money to hold an examination,
Is to be thing Of the past.
The order is expected to meet With
opposition among members of Congress
who are lighting to obtain Jobs for their
constituents.
