Cooked Breakfast While Asleep.

Somnambulism has In all ages furnished many curious illustrations, and among them may be noted one that occurred in a West Utica residence a few days ago. ' The husband and wife were aroused by the breakfast bell ringing in the middle of the night They arose and discovered that it was 2 o’clock, but on hastily dressing and going down to the dining-room they found breakfast ready and waiting for them. They were greatly alarmed at the condition of things, for they at first imagined that the hired girl had suddenly gone insane. After a few minutes, however, they discovered she was asleep. She had got up, started the fire, prepared the morning mehl, and had it ready for serving, but was sound asleep all the time. The only unusual thing wad her failure to put on typr shoes.—Utica Observer.
