lie Encountered m Itargler Alarm System of Astonishing Effectiveness In Western Connecticut—Thrilling Experience of a House lireaker. “One night late I went into a house in a village in western Connecticut, entering by a cellar window, as I usually did when I was late, so as not to disturb the folks. I looked around the cellar and located the stairs and started up. About three-quarters of the way up they made a sharp turn to the left. I had my jimmy in my right hand and my lamp in my left, so as to be all ready, expecting to set my lamp down on the top step and gently pry the door open; and I was going along comfortably enough when just as I was stepping up at the turn a rope stretched across caught me under the chin and toppled me over downstairs. There was only the stone wall of the cellar on one side and no rail on the other, so there was nothing to grab to, and I just tumbled down. As I bumped along something scattered along down with me, whang-banging down the steps over me and under me and around me, chasing me all the way down, and when l linally got to the cellar bottom that thing was lying across my chest. It was the coal shovel, which had evidently l>een stood up against the rope, and which I had jarred loose," said the retired burglar to a New York Sun

man.

“Hut the worst thing of all was that my lamp was broke. I lost my jimmy on the way down, but I hung to my lamp; but now the light was out and the glass was broke and the slide was jammed around in front and I could not turn it. I felt around till I found my jimmy, and then I waited to see if I'd woke anybody up. I didn’t hear anybody and so I started again, and this time I felt my way up the stairs carefully to the door. I found it unlocked and I had got it open about an inch, I should think, when I heard a little hit of a scraping on the other side, and the next instant the dreadfulest racket that anybody ever heard, the falling of a dish pan that must have been hanging on the other side on the door knob or key, and at the same time what I imagine must have been the potato-masher—I don’t know, because 1 didn’t look for it— dropped from the top of the door upon my head. “This door to the cellar opened from a little square hall or entry way that had, as I learned by feeling, a door to the left, to the kitchen, I suppose, and one to the right, I guessed, into the front hall. 1 waited again, but no sound from upstairs, so I turned to the right and opened that door and stumbled the first thing over a chair close by in the hall and almost broke my shins. I felt along and found a row of chairs standing close together from that door clean to the front door. I sat down in one of them and nursed my shin and waited. Still no sound, and I tried again and got along all right this time and turned off to the left and into the parlor and back from that into the dining-room, for a wonder without falling over anything, and I began to feel encouraged. Hut in the dining-room there was nothing but plated spoons and forks, which, of course, I could tell by the touch just as well as though I’d had an electric light. If they had any silver they had it carried upstairs, as some people do at night. “I turned back into the hall and groped my way through the rows of chairs to the foot of the stairs. To make sure of the first step in the dark 1 stepped high and stepped into a pan of water on the bottom step. That made me mad, but it didn’t make any noise, and I stepped out of it and started on up. At about the third step my leg struck a string that was strung across these stairs, and set a bell a ringing that was hanging on it; and kicking that string started down on me from above, loosened I suppose by another string tied to the one I had kicked, a shower of tin pie plates, and I had got my legs tangled up in some way in the string across the stairs, and as I struggled to get free the bell kept on ringing and the pie plates rattling, and presently I fell over a wash boiler that had been set on the stairs a step or two no and brought that dow n on me. “As I lloundered around in this tinware and strings and bells and things I heard children’s voices upstairs, and a minute later I heard steps in the hall above, and I could see in the blackness up there the white of a nightgown at the head of the stairs. Then something came slamming against the banisters, hitting me as it rattled down and finally landed with a great bang on the floor among the chairs in the hall. The minute he threw it, whoever he was, he ran, and I began to think it was about time for me to go, too. I lind freed myself from the bellcord by this time and I got down the stairs and into the hall again, and there this time 1 stopped on a baseball bat —that was what had come banging down at me from above—that rolled out from under me and upset mo once more among those chairs. •'! got up and opened the front door —it wasn't locked—and got out on the piazza, liefore I had got to the top front step i heard a horn blowing from an upstairs window on the side of the house, and an instant later a shot from a revolver and a big bell ringing. There was a late moon just rising and a little light now, and as I went away I looked back and saw tlirtc children all in white, all leaning out of one window on the second story. “I didn’t Trc.it t T-quir-s ab ut it, but it was just as simple as rolling off a log. The children’s parents had had to go away somewhere over night, sickness or something, and had left the children alone. The young folks had forgot to lock the doors, but there really wasn’t any necessity of locking ’em with such a burglar alarm system us '-hat.”

SLEEP-WALKINQ. The Remarkable Perfarmance of • Tl» tlm of the Habit. A commercial traveler relates an Interesting adventure which he once had in a well-known Boston hotel. He had a friend who often made the circuit of the New England towns with him, each selling a different line of goods. They were good companions, and in order to reduce expenses occupied the same room when they wore traveling. One night the drummer was awakened from sleep by a rustling noise near the window. The moonlight streaming in revealed the figure of a fully dressed man crossing the room toward the door. Suspecting that it was a sneak thief, the drummer reached out his hand to arouse his bedfellow. His companion was not in the bed. In an instant he recognized the figure of his friend at the door, and called him by name several times. There was no reply except a strange, guttural clucking at the throat. The silent figure paced twice across th« floor, and then opened the door and passed out into the hall. The drummer sprang out of bed, quickly dressed himself, and hurried to the hotel office, where he told the night clerk what had happened. As they were talking together his friend came down the stairway, walked through the hall into the empty dining-room, and rapidly strode up and down, lie was in his stocking feet, but otherwise was carefully dressed. The two witnesses approached and spoke to him, but he took no notice of them, and apparently was anxious to avoid them. Finally he started upstairs, muttering to himself, and, going to his room, quietly undressed and went to bed, turning off the gas at the last moment. Ilis friend had followed him into the room, and remained a silent witness of these strange proceedings. The drummer could not sleep until the mystery was explained. Going to the bedside, he called his companion by name, but could not arouse him; then shook him violently by the shoulders, and finally awakened him from an astonishingly deep slumber. “What a horrible dream I have had!” exclaimed his companion, rubbing his eyes. “I have been walking miles and miles with a pair of cutthn -at murderers close upon my heels, and 1 could not find my shoes.” He had been walking in his sleep, without the slightest knowledge of what was going on about him, aide to dress and undress himself, to find his way about the hotel, to unlock doors and turn off the gas, but without power to hear voices or to free himself from his hideous dream. "It was a trick of my boyhood,” he said, when his companion described what had happened. “I used to unscrew hinges, take locks from doors, and even play ball in my sleep. My mother broke up the habit by putting pails of water at tny bed, into which 1 plunged when springing from the sheets. But it has returned after many years.” AN ANGEL IN A GLIZZARD. It Wan Not Snowing; Too Much for the Scribe to See What a Kind Man Did. Two men who knew him were standing in the Brand Bacillo exchange talking about George W. Champlin, who died in Hot Springs. He was one of the most generally known men on the Chicago board of trade, says the Chicago Herald. •Tie didn't belong to any church,” said one of the men. “One night I met him on Clark street. A blizzard was on the rampage and people were running to get out of the cold. A ragged boy stood behind a storm door, a picture of the forlorn. The boy fc as almost barefooted. Champlin stopped and said to him: ‘My boy, this is hard luck; why don’t you put on your Sunday suit?’ Tlaio’t got none,’ the boy replied. Champlin took him by the scruff of the neck and almost dragged him into a clothing store near by and had the boy put into a new suit, shoes, hosiery, underwear and cap. Then, handing the boy a dollar, he said to him: ‘Ysjung man, you had better run right home and get out of this cold. The mercury is twenty degrees below zero.’ The clerk in the store called me aside and asked: ‘Who is that man? This is the third or fourth boy he has brought in here and clothed.’” “You say he didn’t belong to any church?" asked the man who had listened. "Never went in one that I heard of.” “Well, he won’t need any church certificate in the next world. I reckon it wasn't snowing too hard the night you speak of for the recording angel to sec what Champlin did.” COST OF A RAINY DAY. Totlor* i.ors Hundreds at Thousands m Wacra and Retail Trade Suffers. “An article the other day mentioned the losses sustained by dealers in dry goods in oonsequence of rainy days," said a contractor to a reporter of the New Y’nrk Wofld recently, “but the real sufferers by the rainy day are the day luliorcrs and those who do business directly with them. Bain means an idle day to every laborer and mechanic employed on outdoor work, such as excavators, quarrytnen, railroad builders, stone masons, bricklayers, carpenters, painters, furniture movers, long-shoremen, etc. What they do not earn they cannot spend. “There is no way for this class of [ bread-winners to regain the day once lost. They are men who deal with I their grocers, butchers and others on a ca:,h basis. If a man works steadily all the week he is enabled to buy a certain amount of the necessaries and luxuries of life. If he works but throe days ho must get along with just half of what he would otherwise have purchased. The storekeeper’s business fulls off just that much. It will be readily seen, then, that u rainy day in New Y’ork city mean:: a 1..:,.. of the '.verksng population of hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages, and this loss iu turn falls upon retail tradesmen. A rainy season means distrcE- and deprivation to Mie toilers."

TOUCH DELUSION. A Simple Experiment Which Prodaoei Astonishing Results. The various “optical illusions” bj means of which straight lines art caused to appear crooked, and objects of equal size are rendered, to all ap poarance, decidedly unequal, are more or less familiar to every reader, but there are other equally striking de ceptions of the senses that are not sc frequently experimented with. A French savant, says Youth’s Com panion, has recentiy pointed out several surprisingly easy ways in which we are misled in our perception of heat and cold and of pressure. A simple and convincing experiment of this kind may be tried in the following manner: Take two silver dollars and place one of them upon a marble table, or mantel, while the other is rubbed briskly between the hands. In this manner a slight difference of temperature between the two pieces of i metal will be produced. Then ask some one to incline his head backward closing his eyes. Lay the warm dollar upon his forehead for a moment, remove it, and quickly substitute the cold one. You will hardly be able to convince him that they are of equal weight. The cold pteeo always seems to be much heavier than the other. The explanation of this phenomenon is that the metal which has been rubbed between the hands has assumed nearly the temperature of the body, and when it is placed upon the forehead the sense of touch is affected by the pressure alone. But the metal which has been cooled, being at a lower temperature than the skin, affects the sense in a double manner, and the subject of tha experiment, not being able to distinguish clearly between the effects, instinctively aseril>es the entire sensation to pressure alone.

A COMICAL INCIDENT. Rnt Ther© Wan in It Food for Soleir.n Reflection. There are Chinamen In New Zealand, and there, as in some other countries, they are looked upon as intruders, especially by men who are themselves but indifferent citizens. Two gentlemen were the only inside passengers of a coach on a wet day, till at a roadside hotel the landlord came out to accost the driver, says the Youth’s Companion. “Have you room its the coach for a gentleman?” he inquired in a tone of some solicitude. “That depends,” answered the driver, who knew the country pretty well. “Is your gentleman drunk?” “Well, not exactly,” said the landlord. “He’s getting over it.” “All right,” said the driver; “heave him in. We can always make room for an extra prodigal." The prodigal turned out to be a miner, whose condition fully justified the driver’s cautious inquiry. Soon he fell into a tipsy sleep, from which he did not awaken even when ul unassuming Chinaman entered and took a seat beside him. By and by, however, he roused him self, looked round in a drowsy way, and caught sight of the Celestial. At once he brought his horny palm down upon the English gentleman knee, and in a confidential inebriated whisper said, pointing to the Chinaman: "The cursh of the country!” The Englishman thought it a comical incident, and more comical still when, at the end of the route, the Chinaman paid ins fare “like a Christian,” while the miner, having spent all his money for drink, was obliged to leave his “swag” with the driver in lieu of paymenL

STOVES OF STRAW.

A D©Yice That Is Employed in tho Wild West. Information comes from the far west that much suffering from cold may be averted by the knowledge of how to construct such a stove as is used largely in Dakota. The stove saves the purchasing of fuel, and can be used iu any district where straw or hay is plentiful. The device, says Hardware, can be made by any tinsmith. A drum Is constructed of sheet or stove-pipe iron, two feet in diameter aud four feet, or more, high. This is placed on a stand, which may be roughly and inexpensively made, with a top of isliect iron, rimmed to hold tho druito in place. The legs are of hoop iron riveted. The top of the eVv« Is eoT'e-sbared, sUd'nc into the stove-pipe just tightly enough to insure the carrying away of the smoke, and yet to enable tho drum to be removed for the purpose of emptying and replenishing. The draught is a hole at the lower part of the drum, with a sliding door by which the draught can be regulated. The drum should do filled with straw, hay or any material of like nature, and the tiro is started at the top. One filling will last about six hours. The introduction of this stove into Dakota is said to have been a veritable godsend, and it is so cheaply and easily made that there is nothing to prevent its use in many districts throughout the country where the price of coal is too high for slender purses.

Ills Hist Was Honored. On one occasion, when a public reception was given to Daniel Webster at a hotel in Boston, a particularly obsequious office-seeker was introduced. The man ground his own ax, bowing and scraping, until the great man was tired of him, and bidding him good-day, settled down heavily into the nearest chair. But the ufau, instead of passing on and giving a chance to the next comer, lingered near and seemed to have something still on his mind, though lie looked very blissful. Webster observed this and said, not very good-naturedly: "May I ask you, sir, it you want anything more of me?” “Ok—oh, no!” said the man, smirking; “only perhaps; I mffy be permitted to r.'tnnric tin* f n*** proud to <:*y that my hat is having the inestimable honor to e.v.’py the same chair with Daniel Webster!" Webster had, as a matter of fact, sat down on the man’s tall bca-cr hat.
