When going at full speed' I will unexpectedly give the filghal to stop, nnd then wo will ice how tho apparatus will work." At the appointed time tho omporor entered bis carriage and tho engineer mounted his engine, and on they went ' forn considerable distance; Indeed, tbo young ongtncoi began to suspect that tho emperor bad fallen asleep, when " tho train suddenly came to a Bhnrp curvo round the edgo of the cliff, on tnrnlng which tho drlvor saw, to his horror, au Immonae bowlder lying on , tho rolls. Ho bad just sudlclont prcsonco of mind to turn the crank on bis brake and pull up the engine within a oouplo of yards of tbo fatal block.

As thing4 go by contraries In China, wo find the phenomenon of table turn ing is reversed; in other words Chinese tables, Instead of turning on their leg whirl around on their heads with their lcg3 pointing to the celling. The di rections usually given are to plaoe u couple of chop sticks at right auglei a ross a mortar or bol lilled wlth, watcr, and upon theso the table is turned upside down. Four children are then called In, aud to each Is assigned a leg, on which ons hand is gently laid, while the othsr seizes the free hand of a companion. The medium then reads an iit'aututloa and soon the table b"giii3 to hoars with emotion and at last revolves, car rying the- lads, along with increase I velocity, until tho table is whirled on Its axis. The Chinese are said to im-. plieity believe that table turning i tho work of devils or spirits, yet it is never performed save for tho bport it yields, nor do they ever attempt Wi tr6TaLilllirufi'?fJu""vVUll"Tlfeffn;;t"wT by this means. A DEVOTES OF MORPHEUS, Tho Duke of Dovomlilr Sloop lu ttm Homo of Lord. It is said tho Dnko of Davonshira goes to sleep in tha houi3 of lord.s. What else is he to do tihould that uu gust house s t lato, as it does three or four times a year? IJesides, it is th custom tj go to oleep in parliament when you have a mind to. The rules forbid the p -rusal of a, newKpaper, a magazine or a book. If a peer or a, member of the commons dedres tt read ho mu&t go to te reading-room or the library. Therefore, when a bore in on his legs about 10 or U o'clock, nnd his dif fuse and uninteresting commonplace are running out hi turgid verbosity, what hotter thing ean a statesman di than go to sleep? When in the lower house as Lord Ilartington the duke was a confirmed Bleeper, with his leg! ujainst thi clork'a table, his hat tlltsd down ovor his eyes, Jils mouth opsn and anp folded, or balaiicitt x hla bjdy upon tho seat. At times his lordship waa guilty of an approach to snoring People who go to bjd about 3 or 4 In tiu morning must take their sleep fcome where. A dlcantlo OodJrd of Wnr.

England, a famous bailiff named doe Dunn. Joseph was vory clever in the management of his business, and so dexterous in annoy ing those who lefusod the payment of an account with which ho had beenini trusted that, "to Ret Dunn on him," or "to Dunn him," became common ad vico to the owner of a bad debt.
