Iu the early sixties of the last cen tury the Smltusoiimu Institution was Infested with rats. Nothing In- -the building seemed to be rat proof. 'Tbey ate sklus cured with arseulcul soap or table I lue u or the contents of Professor Heury's pantry without discrimination. Every one iu the city, from Professor Henry to the bootblack, bad one sub ject lu common, and that was "rats." As Professor Henry, who lived lu the east end of the bulldlug, was lis tening to ' an account of the - fulu wrought In his home during that da; Professor 'Spencer Balrd walked lu and said, just as If be bad been fol lowing every word of the family con versation, "1 have just beeu-tfcM that there is a man in Philadelphia who can rid this place of rats." -.' . Professor Henry's eyes expressed interest and Incredulity at the same moment r . "I have his address here," went on the assistant secretary. "He "calls himself the 'ratten konlg' and won't take a ceut if a rat remains aud has" "We'll send for him If It takes our last thousand cents to do it!" -'said Professor Henry and laughingly . pre dicted the repetition of the famous old tale of the Pled Piper of Hunielln. Several duys later the "rat king" appeared In Washington. He was al most as short as be was broad aud wore clothes too loose for description; tlioy had no shape. He carried a large oilcloth sack aud a covered basket. His penetrating blue eyes were almost covered by shaggy eyebrows, aud his blond balr bad not been cut, but hag gled. His manner was short aud brisk, and be went straight to the point, talking to Professor Henry In Gernutu. He declared that not a rat would be lu tbo bulldlug three days hence If bis directions were obeyed. During that time be would stay lu the basement alone; every door was to be locked, and on no account was be to be dls turbed until be gave them the signal, So they left hliu in absolute darkness aud carried out bis directions. Ou Sunday morulug the queer old man emerged from fbe darkness so confident of bis success that bp re fused to accept the money which was his due then and there, but insisted that Professor Henry mull the check to him iu Philadelphia the following week. "Now you can leave your food in the basement, and It won't be touched. And I wou't tako a cent If you are troubled with ruts," were bis parting words. Cheese and cake were directly placed about the bulldlug to tempt the rats. Morulng after morning they were found as tbey had beau left, and from that day to this the Smithsonian ustt tutlon bos never beeu seriously trou bled with rats. And no one has ever found out the secret of the "rat king's" method. Youth's Companion, He Saw Double.

It Is Pitch Black as Far as Human Understanding Goes, For We Know No More About It Than We Do About Ite Twin Mystery, Death. When all is written, how little we know of sleep! It Is a closing of the eyes, a disappearance, a wondering re turn. Iu uneasy slumber, in dreamless dead rest, iu horrid nightmare or In ecstasies of somnolent funcles tbe eyes are blinded, the body is abandoned, while tbe inner essence is we kuow not where. We have no other knowledge of sleep than we have of death. In de lirium or coma or trance, no less than In normal sleep and In dissolution, the soul is gone. Iu these It returns, iu that It does not come again, or so we Ignorantly think. Yet when I reflect on my death I for get that I have encountered it many times already and find myself none the worse. 1 forget that I sleep. The fly hns no shorter existence than man's. We bustle about for a few years with ludicrous importance, ns bottleflies buzt at the window panes. They, too, may Imngine themselves of Infinite moment in this universe we share with tbem. But this Is to take no account of the prognostics of sleep. There Is something hidden, something secret, some unfnthomed mystery whose presence we feel, but cannot verify; some permeatlve thought in sistently moving In our hearts, some phosphorescence that glows we know not whence through our shadowy at oms. Kelt her sleep itself nor half its prom ises nor mysteries have been plumbed. It is the mother of superstitions and of miracles. In dreams we may search the surface powers of the freed soul. Visions lu tbe night are not all hallu cinations; voices in the night ore not nil mocking. There is a prophet dwells wltblu the mind not of the mind, but deeper throned In obscurity. Tbe brain cannot know of this holy presence nor of Its life In sleep. The brain Is mortal and untrustworthy, a phonograph and a camera for audible and palpable existence. Strike It a blow in childhood so that It ceases Its labors nnd awake It by surgery after forty years and It will repeat the in fantile action or word It Inst recorded and will take up its task on the In stant, making no account of the inter mediate years. They are nonexistent to it. Yet to that hidden memory those diseased years are not blank. It knows. It has recorded, though the brain hns slept. And In hypnotic or psychic" trance, when thnt wonderful ruler is released from tbe prison of tbe body. It ran speak through the atom blent ma chinery of tbe flesh and tell of things man himself could not know because of his paralyzed brain. This ruler is not asleep iu sleep, nor in delirium Is It delirious, nnd lu death is It dead? Through all the nges It has been our sphinx, which we have Interrogated in vain. It jolus not In our laughter nor our tears. We have funded It with im mobile, brooding features of utmost knowledge and wisdom and sorrow. It has asked us but one question, nor from the day of Oedipus unto today have we answered rightly, so that we die of our Ignorance. It is Osiris liv ing In us. It is the unknown God to whom we erect our altars, the fire in tbe tabernacle, the presence behind tbe veil. Not lu normal wakefulness at least will It answer our queries, but In sleep sometimes It will speak. And it may possibly be thut at Inst, after all these centuries, we are learning how to question it nnd in hypnotic trance and in the fearful law of suggestion are discovering somewhat of Its mys tery and how to employ It for our worldly good. Yet to Its essential se cret we -are no closer than our fore fat hers were. We tuny define dreams and night mare, coma nnd swoon and trance with what terms we will, search their physical reasons and learn to guide and guard, yet we know no more of them than of electricity. We may be gin to suspect thnt telepathy and clair voyance and occult forces of the soul are not superstitious fancies, and we may ereu empirically classify and study and direct them. Yet tbe soul Itself is no nearer our Inquisition. Though we should know of Its real ity, though our finite minds should fathom tbe Infinitude, of wbnt benefit would It be? Would It modify our be liefs or our hopes or bur fnlths? Would It dictate one action to our passionate lives? There would be no change in human nature nnd no reforms of the world. We are the children of our fa thers, and our children will trend the prehistoric paths. Dreams are our life, whether we wake or sleep. We drowse through existence, awaking and dying and being reborn dally, ever torpeseent and una mazed, and our thousand slum berous deaths we call restorative sleep sleep that restores our physical be ing, .building up where we have torn down, recreating what we destroy. Black pitch Mack, Indced-ls the cavern of Morpheus. Palth peoples It with varied legions and builds Its rhaos Into myriad forms. Nightly we enter It and drain the Lethean air and forget, and dally we return with re joicings, babbling of dreams that wera not dreamed, and Anally we enter for tbe last time nnd drain somewhat mora deeply tbe essence of ecstasy and awake no more and no more re turn to tha autumn dyed skies of the dawu,. And yet c 1H .flream. At lantic Monthly. iBiiiiiiiiiiimiiniiniiiiiiHiiinnninimi !
