He was fond of shooting, and to keep up his practice he had a fine airgun, and he converted the hall on the third floor, which we occupied, into a shooting gallery.. I used to take a band my- self every time I had a chance, and sometimes for.an bour ata time he would be banging away at the tar. get he had fixed at the far end of the hall. ‘‘One morning I came in from 4 pation about 3 o’clock and found the whole upper story dark. I lit the gas in the front room, which we used as a sitting room, and was about to go out and light the gas in the hall, when the young fellow came walking in from our sleeping room, attired in his nightclothes, and with his eyes wide open. I spoke to him, thinking something was the matter with him, but he did not an swer, and in a minute I saw that he was walking in bis sleep. “This was not altogether unusual with him, but Ihad never caught him in the act before and concluded I would watch him. He came di- rectly across the room, going around a chair and a table that stood in his path, and opening a drawer where he kept the airgun he took it out, ard then he loaded it, getting tho small bullets we used ont of a bex on the mantelpicca. This box he stuck into what would havo beon his coat pocket, if he had had a coat on, but.as he hadn’t the box fell to the floor, which he took no note of. “Then he went into the dark hall, carefully avoiding all furniture in his way, and going as straight to the door as if he had been awake. I followed him cautiously into the hall, and when he had reached the usual point from which we did our firing he stopped, took careful aim and fired, Theslight snap and shock of the gun seemed to have quite a different effect than either my voicc or the bright light in the room, for on the instant he dropped the gun, made a half step forward and fell into my arms, just about as he would have fallen out-of bed if he had waked suddenly on its edge. ‘*Ho was wide awake in a minute and began laughing and asking me what had happened. F told him, and we at once lit the gas in the hall and examined tho target. The target had been repainted after we bad bad our last practice, so that we could see plainly where his bullet bad hit, and I assure you be bad made almost a center’ shot. Now,’’ concluded the Physician, ‘inthe Nghtett room he missed all the furniture in his way, and in the dark hall he bad hit the target. Do you think he oould see, ot couldn’t he?’’ : The answer wasn’t quite satisfac- tory as an answer, but it mado a problem to wrestle with, and the physicion: kindly consented: to let his questioner figure it out to suit bimself,—~ Washington Star. Why He Ceased Whistling. One day as Field Marshal Wran.- gel and tho late Emperor Frederick were walking in Berlin they met an apprentice boy who was whistling a lively tune, but stopped as they came nearer and doffed his cap with a pleasant smile. Wrangel was highly gratified with the civility of the lad, and said to the crown prince: ‘There, your. royal highness can see how loyal these apprentice lads aré How cobe od seem to be when they come a mem bér of the royal family !’ ‘‘Wrangel,’’ said the crown prinoe, ‘with’ a toach of merriment, “just ask the boy why he has stopped whistling.” ‘Horo, my lad,” exclaimed Wran- sie Beret t deb Mn, \ b soplied the | boy,!‘Toan't help langhing, and then al WiowW ¢hn'tivhistle,, you, know."'
