Baby Beetle's Cradle.. '
If, at almost any time of the
year, we walk through the wooda
where the red, scarlet, black orpin
rjaks are growing that is, where
we find those that ipen their
acorns in two seasons, and there
fore belong in the pin-oak group
we shall probably find on the
ground fallen -branches, ttt vary
in size from that of a lead pencil
to that of one's thumb, or even
(arger. These,' at the broken end,
appear as if cutaway within the
wood so that only -a thin portion
is left under the bark. Within the"
rather uneven cut, generally near
the center of. the growth, is a small
hole tightly plugged by the "pow-:.
der post" of a beetle larva. Split
open the branch of a twig, when a
aurrow will be seen and the little, '
white, soft, hard-jawed larva that
made it will be, found, or perhaps
the inactive pupa. St. Nicholas: ;

The European papers tell of a
curious custom among traveling
women. It appears that . the
women when staying at hotels or
the like do not care to exhibit to
the passers along the corridors
the exact size of their feet, so they
carefully cary with them a couple
of pairs of tiny, delicate shoes,
which, instead of the ones they are
wearing, they place outside their
doors for the servant to take down
and clean. 'All the big boot shops
in Paris now make a specialty of
this tiny footgear; and a pair or
two' form' a portion of the trous-;
eeau . of -every up-to-date : bride.

' It Is not nnuual to hear one say
that he has JtMen dreaming about
something all night, when possi
bly his dream occupied only a very
short time, ilanv attemDts have
. , . ..
been made to measure the time
occupied in a dream, and Records
appear from time to time in the
raoers showing that often elah-
papers, snowing tnat often elab-
orate ones occupy but a few sec
onds. The following incident is
- ,
told by a gentleman who vouches
for its accuracy:.
He was engaged one afternoon
with a clerk in verifying some long
columns o figures that had been
copied from one. book to an
other. The . numbers, represent
ing amounts in dollars and cents,
were composed of six or seven fig
ures. The clerk would read, for
instance: ; "Fourteen, one forty
two, twelve," making the amount
of "$14,142.12, and the gentleman
would answer: "Check," to indi
cate that the copy was correct.
Page after page had been read
as rapidly as the words could be
uttered,- each number receiving
the "check." The work was
drowsy, and it was with difficulty
he could keep his eyes open.
Finally sleep overcame him, and
he dreameddreamed of an old
horse he' had been accustomed to
drive 25 or 30 years ago. He could
not recall any special incident con
nected with the deam except the
locality - and the distinct sight of
the horse, and of the buggy to
which he had driven him, Ho
awoke suddenly and as a number
was ended called: "Check." He
was conscious of having slept and
of having dreamed, and said to
the clerk: "Charlie, I have been
asleep.- 'How many of those num
bers have I missed?" "None," he
replied. 'TTou have checked every
one." Close questioning . devel
oped the if act that of the figures
14,142.12 he had heard the four
teen and the twelve, but had slept
arid dreamed during the time oc-
cupied in rapidly uttering the
words "one forty-two." He tried,
by reading other numbers, to
measure the time, and thinks it
could not have been more than
half a second.
Another story is told of a man
who sat before his fire in a drowsy
condition.;;; A dra ught, blowing
across the room, set a large photo
graph on the mantel to swaying.
A slender vase was in front of it,
and the man remembers wonder
ing, in a mood of whimsical indif
ference, whether ' the picture
would blow forward and send the
vase to Hie floor.
..Finally a gust of wind did top
ple the picture, and it struek the
vase.1 The- man remembers hav
ing ,been curiously relieved in hia
state of drowsiness that at last,
the "old thing was going to fall
and be done with it." . ..
Presently he was in the midst of
a complicated busiuess transac
tion in a .western city, miles away.
All 1 he details of a new and un
heard of scheme;; were " coming
forth from his lips, and a board of
directors was . listening.' The
scheme prospered. He, moved his
family, west. Fragments of the
journey thither .and r'ni'rises of
the fine house he bought came be
fore his vision. ' - '
A crash ,woke him. The vase
had slnifk the floor. He hat!'
dreamed an;un!ireUife covering
years, and all in -the-time it took
for the vase, which he hffd seen
toppling before he fell asleep, to
fall five feet and break.
