At th time it happened thirty year ago I was a bachelor, living in draw ins; room communicating by " folding doors with tha bedroom behind it, not a hundred miles from tha Regent Circus, None of th furniture was my own save one or two easy chairs, a writing table and a rather shabby, dilapidated old bu reau or escritoire a relic of my grand father's, I believe, and preserved by me as representing pretty nearly all the property I aver inherited. . It stood in the darkest corner of the sitting room, though near on of th two long French windows, I seldom went to it, using its numerous drawers, pigeon-holes, etc., only as receptacles for old receipts, bills, papers and a few odd accumulations of no value, which, for some reasons, I did not wish to destroy. The key to its circular top I had, with reprehensible carelessness in such matters, mislaid for weeks. This gave me no concern. I could look for it when I wanted it that was enough. Other lodgers were in the house, which was kept by a retired but'er and his wife, who, with three servants, attended on the inmates. A young man's life in London, with out his being the least unsteady, fre quently involve him in late hours when he has a large circle of acquaintances. It was so with me, especially during one particular season. Operas, theaters, suppers and dances crowded so thick and fast upon each other that, for nights to gether, I never hod more than three or four hours in bed always having to be up early. Then, by degrees, when I could turn in in reasonable time, I could not.sleep, aad on this account even the thought of a long night in bed gradually became a terror to me. The fact is, my nervous system was becoming thoroughly uastrung, though at that time I did not know what that meant. Certainly I never thought of it as an illness, and equally certain wou'd have scouted any idea of seeking advice about it. In addition, another thing was worry ing me greatly. For the past month or more I felt convinced I was being robbed. I did not possess much jewelry, but I was constantly ' missing certain little trinkets and small articles. Among others a silver match box, a large croco dile leather, gold-mounted cigar case, a pair of gold sleeve links, a amall locket, containing some of my mother's and father's hair, a set of studs, a pearl breastpin, and the like. Also a pocket letter or card case, which I well knew contained two 1 Scotch bank notes unusual money, not easily forgotton. I felt sure that with every allowance for careless habits these and many another similar object bad vanished in the most unaccountable way. Search high and low as I would they were not to be found anywhere in my rooms. I had lived there nearly two years when this vexation began, and I knew not whom to suspect. It was horribly awkward and most unpleasant. The landlord and his wife bore unimpeach able characters, and I could never have looked either of them in the face again had I breathed the faintest suspicion of their honesty. Three other men, two of whom I knew slightly, were lodging in the house, as I hava said, but as to sus pecting them of this petty larceny the idea was out of the question. No, it must be one of the servants. But which? One of th three was a lad of sixteen. Ho was a newcomer, truly. The two women were in the house when I took up my quarters there respectable, 'elderly parties. I did not know what to do for the best. To lock up the rooms was impos sible, and even to do the same with all my drawers, writing table, wardrobe, etc., now, after never having previously turned a key on anything, would be at occe to cast a slur on the establishment. Besides, I never could tell exactly when missed this or that article, because, as I repeat, my careless ways had often led me to imagine that I had lost a thing when I merely mislaid it.' Presently the idea occurred to me that I would set a trap. I left a amall sov ereign purse in a corner drawer of the dressing-table, whence I could declare many trinket and valuable had been purloined; but there it remained. I shifted it, partially covered it with other things, as if by accident, or a if it had been forgotten. Tet it was always forth coming wbeaevor I looked. I put a solitary sovereign on a corner of th mantlepieci; the housemaid twice drew my attention to tha fact that tb coin was still lying there. ', No, nothing that I ever placed as a bait disappeared. The depredations were confined to Such objects as I hadn't been thinking about until I wanted them. The month was August, the nights hot and sultry and. less than ever conducive to sleep. I had nothing to do that even ing, and, although I turned in early, it was with tha usual; result; The clock had just struck : one, and I had been in bed since: elevon without closing my eyes. It was the old story; I was ac customed to it. Suddenly, amid the host of perplexing . and even awe-inspiring thoughts whirling v through ..one's brain under these conditions, I remembered that pocket letter-case containing the two 1 Scotch bank Botes. ; Where was itl I had not seen it for weeks.' After restlessly striving to drive away th de sire to get up and get it, it mastered me, and out of ted I sprang. For fully an hour I carried on the quest, but alt in vain. Every concaivable corner, drawer "4 r"' "'s rnickH. , The k,-v of th saoroitoir had bee mislaid, a I could not examine that; but I knew it contained little else but paper. J. . At length, entirely exhausted, irritated and fevered, and with the chamber can- die expiring with a splutter, I fluag my self on a couch in th drawing-room, Dawn had not yet broken, but in a few minutes, aa I lay there coiled up in my dressing-gown, -1 ' unexpectedly - fell asleep a restless, dreaming sleep, full o( fantastic, weirdlike indescribable shape. When I awoke it was daylight, though the room was still shadowy and obscure, save in one spot close to tho long win dow, where th Venetian blind was par tially raited -th window . nearest that dark corner occupied byy th old eacri toiie. '. Th head of th oouch was to ward th mantelpiece, but almost facing the dior from th landing on the further aid of th wall. - At the moment I opened my eves with a feeling of relief at having just escaped aora visionary peril, to my amaaement I saw that door slowly open aad th figure of a man stealthily entering It. It did aot ' make tb faintest sound on It hinges, cor did he with his footstep- aot so much as tb ere ring oi a plant The light in that part of th room was far too dim to allow of my seeing what h was like. ' Hi face was slightly averted, also, and except that the gen ral looks of th man teemed to be not altogether unfamiliar, I could not in the least tell who he was. The first impulse. of course, was to sit up and call out, but for some inexplicable reason I restrained it perhaps because the thought instantly crossed my mind tnat Her was tnetniel, and upon that I uppos I rapidly con eluded to watch him, and pretenned to be still sleeping. However this may be, I did not move as I observed bun oreep noiselessly across the loom to the snd of- the mantelpiece farthest Irom that where I was lying. He appeared not to notice me, and after feeling for a moment between tne eage of the looking glass and the wall by the mantel shelf, he took' something away, and instantly crossed back to the win dow by the escritoire. Ho passed tne little gap of light so quickly into tho dark corner that I still failed to recog nize him. Then I could dimly make out that he Wat apparently unlocking the lumberinx piece of old furniture, though still without making the slightest sound. "Hoi hoi ' thought I, "my fine fel low, now I've caught you, have If You have found tho key, and are going to exercise your calling in that direction, eht Well, there's not much that is worth your attention there; you won t find that a profitable hunting ground 1" I was not long, you may depend, la coming to a determination. ' While he was still fumbling at the escritoire I j rose, and, stealing softly up behind him, suddenly seized him by the back of his collar. He endeavored to writhe out of my grasp, but I turned him round so quickly that we both staggered and fell on the floor in a huddled heap together he undermost. In the fall I struck my forehead teverely against something, probably a projecting chair. For the moment the blow seemed to blind me; but as we had rolled over into the gap of light from the window I caught sight of his face, turned up at it was toward mine, and I saw whose (act think you I Why; no other than my own yes, my very oan, as I well knew it in the look ing-glass. That one instant of amaaement and consternation in which, as by a flash, I made this recognition, was followed by a total objivion of all surrondings. The face and figure seemed to fade away be neath ma and to vanish with my con sciousness. How long I lay prostrate, face down ward on the floor, I know not; but in that position I found myself whea my bewildered senses slowly returned. For awhile, of course, I could lemsmber nothing how I cam there or what had brought me to such a pass. Only very slowly did the circumstances recall themselves. What on earth did they meaut My forehead was unmis takably cut and still bleeding; indeed, there was a patch of congealed blood on the carpet plainly visible in the broad flood of early auniignt now streaming in beneath the half-raised blind. Had I been dresmingt More likely I had had a fit: anyhow. I was so utterly bewildered that it wa some time betor my thoughts became coherent. Then alarmed and fully conscious for the first tint ta my life that I must be seriously ill or labor ing under some mysterious mental aber ration, I rose from the floor and sat down in an ad j scent chair. ' As my eyes wandered vacantly around they fell upon the circular top of th old escritoire. It was practically open. Some one had been at it, then; that vu clear. That was no dream, no fancy- scarcely due to a fit, one would think at least, not of the sort I had tremblingly thought of. les, and there was the missing key in the lock. When these facts had been fully broken in upon my cobebbed brain, thoy led to but one ides. Acting upon it, I pushed the lid lull open, and with ' the rapidity of thought pulled out one drawer after an other, and there, in most of th3i, were deposited a lot of the article and ob ject I had so long missed there, in this neglected, usles piece of old fur niture I I turned them alt Out in a con fusion worse confoundei ,than my thoughts. But there they were almost every one; cigar case, silver match box, trinkets, locket and poclcetbook contain ing the Scotch bank notes. ' : Then how on earth had they come to be in this place! A thief would hardly have stolen them to : conceal, them thus in my own apartments, unless unless- and then, very reluctantly, slowly, and at first but vaguely, did I arrive at the conclusion unless the thief wa myself 1 . ' Verily, this was an alarming supposi tion, and confirmed my worst dread. must be suiering under some frightful, inexplicable brain disease, for that I had done this thitg I was wholly and totally unconscious. ' -;' : For days and days, however, I took no action, j I hesitated to breathe a word of the extraordinary affair to a soul.!. Who would believe itl Everybody would say I had gone 'out of my mind 1 thought so myself. I doubted if aoy doctor would accept as veracious this wild ac count of my dread awakening to th truth. ' Tet, as I knew it to be the truth,, I set this record of it down while it was all fresh in my memory, and eventually, being nnablo any longer to bear the hor rible s us pease and perplexity in whioh tha Strang experience had left me, I put it be tore a medical friend, s s To my unspeakable astonishment, he belioved every word of it. Then, after answering hi endless, search)!" ques tions, and wbut be b- i V l 'i eonld give him, he did not doubt on ' atngl poiat. "yea," ha said, ''raoag.. other com plications, yon probably hava been walk ing In your sleep and yourself Secreting th various articles from time to time. The key, to wit, of the escritoire, which yon imagin to have been the object taken from behind tb looking-glass, by tha figur yon fancy - you saw, had been placed there by your own hand.

Fresh air, quiet, and regularity are th only drug, you stand in need of.", ' His ad vie was followed to the letter, for I was thoroughly frightened. Thirty years have pastod; I hav long been mar ried, and I hav never misted a tingl piece of property, large or amall, sine that extraordinary ' August night. Ait tATtar-Hnwi. .: "v! A DInaer la tit Sixteenth Century. A dinner wa given in November, 1539, by Marcantonio Colonna, Grand Constable -of Naples, on his marriage with the Princes Ortini Peretti, niece of Pius V, at which several Cardinals were present. Oa the plates were little figures of boys holding shields, on which were the arms of the. guests so that they could find? their places without causing confusion and cupidt and an gels holding labels, with amorous mot toes and nosegays. The first course of the "Credenxa ' was of tweaty-one dishes, including sal ads of radishes, capers and kids' feet, heads of wild boars boiled in wine, with their snouts silvered aad artificial fire issuing from them, ganished with berbt and flowers; salted buffalo tongues boiled in wine, cock pheasant on their feet, as if alive, and holding perfumes in their beaks, and roast peacocks served with a sauce made of pomegranates and lemons, their beak and feet gilt and their beautiful necks and tails displayed. In the first course of hot meat were th most delicate birds ortolans, pheas ants, woodcocks, larks, ana "tordi" (fieldfares); in the second, of twenty dishes, calves' heads with stuffing, roast ed on the spit; bologna sausages, capons stuffed with chestnuts, roast red-legged partridge in paper garnished with sour oranges, roast gray partridges : stuffed in the Spanish fashion and sprinkled with rosewater, and a sweet dish called. "boeehi di dame (ladies' mouths),mada by th nuns. Th third course was of , eighteen dishos, among . which were ' pheasants stuffed with truffles, olives and fresh fen nel, garnished with sour orange and fennel, roast sucking pigs, peacocks larded with lamprey and stuffed with truffles, Indian pigeons, large trufilas surmounted by imperial crows, tender crabs, eaten with salt and vinegar, with a ducal coronet upon eac'a, and lobsters crowned with the papal tiara. The second court of the "Uredenia consisted of twelve dishes, among which were entire truffles served in napkins, and sweet fennel and thistles served with butter in silver plates and garnished with our oranges and ginger. After tha dinner was handed round aw ! train, uuianui pariev w . uhjj sach as preserved fruit from Genoa, which is still renowned for them, qoinc cheeseof Naples, "vasettl" from Bo logna, "persicata" (peach-cheesa), also from Genoa, little boxes (of comfits) from the Ko magna, sticks of cinnamon from Bergamo, and bon-bons from Fo ligno, and Portuguese marmadale. - .

"Every dog in Alaska Is bob-tailed," remarked Mr. Turner, a return td trav eler, as he kicked over a narrow tobog gan aled which had been hauled ovei thousand of miles of frozen mow. ' "I th immediate neighborhood of oar camp oa th Porcupine there war about 158 natives. Everyone had dogs enough to drag him over th country, and ; every dog was minus hi tall.
