A Strange Inspiration. A New Yorker, famous in the world of letters, awoke one night recently from a sound sleep. So far as he knew he had! not been dreaming. He composed himself again and was sinking into slumber when there came into his mind,as though' out of the darkness, two lines of verse,' rhythmical but senseless They kept him awake, and after a time two lines more, equally smooth and absurd, presented themselves to his consciousness, j It seemed to him as though some one! were dictating nonsensical doggerel to' him from the shadows of the night. Unable to sleep he arose and went downstairs to his library. He sat quiet in the darkness for a while, hoping that ho would fall asleep in his chair. But a second verse, perfect in form but absurd in m no ntnrr nomo info Vlia m 1 n/1 anrl ILL liibUUlU^j VUIUV JUIV UIO 4JLUUUj UUVk then a third and fourth. Lighting a lamp, he took up a pen and wrote down rapidly the lines that had come to him. As ho wrote, new verses fell from his pen, and # when he had finished his task a poem of eight stanzas lay before him. He was surprised to find that, taken in their entirety, Vie verses were far from meaningless. He at once put the poem in an envelope and directed it to a publishing firm. Placing it among other letters to bo mailed by a servant in the morning, he returned to bed and at once fell asleep. Upon awaking he was uncertain- . whether ha had dreamed of writing a poem or had merely transcribed one. As his letters had been posted he had no means of deciding the question. His un- . ^rtainty was pleasantly relieved the ^^fcfty^however, by the receipt of a k13 p"hli^ftrg ^Vttcr Raising hispoem.

The following may be taken as funda-1 mental maxims in the care of a watch: 1. Do not let a watch run down, bu^rl wind it regularly at a fixed time each: aay- ,31 2. Set your watch by and compare itwith a reliable regulator. 3. Hold the watch still when winding: it. 4. Never shake a watch violently. 5. Never meddle with the works. 6. Never carry your watch near an electrical machine. 7. Do not let your watch run mora than two years without cleaning. 8. Never put your watch into thai hands of a poor workman. M If your watch stops: 1. See whether it has run down, and if it has wind and set it. 2. If it has not run down, see whether the hands have caught. If they have,! by using care you may free them. j 3. If neither of these, take the watch, to a watch-maker. If a watch is dropped into the water: 1. If into fresh water, open the cases to the works and put the watch, opend^j into a cup of kerosene or machine oil. No time should be lost in doing thia.'1 Then, as soon as possible, take it to & l-L WaLUU-UKlltci. ,rnm Qnecr Nesting Tlaces. A new use has been discovered for electric light globes, says the Boston; Advertiser. The spring birds have found that they make excellent places in which to build their nests, sheltered as is the inner space from the winds and storms,' and many a lively and lovely courtship may be seen almost any day by glancing at the top of the tall poles. The new-comers perch upon the edges of the globes and peep and twitter to one another as they make their connubial arrangements. Then they may be seen bringing their twigs and bits of stranr and twine preparatory to beginning housekeeping. A day or two later ana the domicile is all ready for occupancy.! One may see the little nests from belo\? through the glass. The dear little fel^ lo-.vs seem happy and coutented, although they live in the full glare of light by day aud by night. '' A bird's nest one expects to find hidden beneath a branch in some cool shady spot and not in so conspicuous a place as this. But if the birds are happy there it is to be hoped that the faithfu! employes of the electric light companies will no& interfere with them. _3 ' ; --- * j li^.vJS
