Sealed Up for Yenre in New York'e Cnnrt House. A room the existence of which was known to few, If any, present on.ee holders, was discovered last week In the County Court House. Tt Is the southeast coruer, under the office of the Surrogate's clerks. It was tightly fastened, and, it Is said, has rot been opened for twelve to fifteen years. No one in the building had any control over the room or Its contents, bat on In quiry It was found thnt the room had been taken years ago for the deposit of records of the Comptroller's office. The Inquiry was pursued until a key to the room was found filed away In the of fice of the Comptroller and the room eras opened. The dead air Inside nearly knocked over the curious raeu who looked In, and the door was quickly shut up again. The hasty glance taken of the Interior showed that It contained a lot of books and bundles of vouchers and •uch papers. It was the unwholesome odor that hung about the Surrogate's office, where nine clerks are employed In a small room, that led to the search which resulted In the discovery of the sealed apartment. It Is thought that some of tho waste pipes have sprung a leak in the room. It Is understood that this secret room Is the only purt of the building re- | talned for the Comptroller after an j effort on his part several years ago to ! secure quarters In the County Court J house. The difficulty, ns explained tc ! the writer by Justice Van Brunt some j time ago, arose through Comptrollei Andrew 11. Green Insisting that he had the right to take possession of quarters In the County Court House under au thority of the Commissioner of Public | Works, in whose charge are the mu- ; nlclpal buildings. The Comptrollei was partly Installed Ik- fore the Justleei of the Supreme Court got luto action He wanted the lower floor on the west side of the building, chiefly the pari now used as docket clerks' rooms. "We told him," said the Justice, "thai the State had subscribed something like $200,000 for the building, and thai the State would have something to saj as to how the building was used. Air. Green was told that he would b brought before us for contempt If h did not vacate, anu lie vacated." The room now appears to show thai the Judges were contemned Just a lit tie. —New York Sun. The Art of Complimenting. Compliments are the poetical touches ! which redeem the monotony of prosaic existence. In the intercourse of sym 1 pathetic people they have a natural i place, and it Is as pleasant to reeog nlze by word or look the cliurms of our \ friends as It is to profit by them. Profit I we do, undoubtedly, ns nil that makes I Ilfo fairer makes It better, and a whole- ! some discernment of good traits must j add to our faith In human nature and Its capabilities. Rigid moralists do- I clare that compliments are so nkln to j flattery that It is wrong to use praise | In any way. This Is "most Intolerable, ! and not to be endured," for all need both to give and receive encourage ment In this practical and hurrying world. And, ixprehenslble ns hard na tures find It, there Is a charm in open ing our eyes to the attractions of others and a warm, healthy f£w accom panies the utterance of words which attest our admiration.

A Doctor'* Perllonf Experience Willi a Madman on a Steamship—Col onel Dice's Experience With an Anjjry Elephant and an Enraged Eion. "When I first hnng out my shingle," said a prominent New York physician to a group of friends, among them a Washington Star reporter, "I thought it would be easy to drum up a good paying practice. But I soon realized my mistake. Patients were few. I didn't earn *}lo the first month, and one day when I felt very discouraged and was thinking of giving up the study of the healing art for a more lucrative commercial pursuit, I met a friend. The latter was the agent for a lino of transatlantic steamers, and on telling him of my poor success as a physician, he offered me a position as surgeon on one of his ships. I ac cepted the berth, and, on the evening of the third day at sea, I had an ex perience with a madman, which I shall never forget. "The weather was very stormy, and as I, in consequence, had had but lit tle sleep the two previous nights, I felt rather drowsy, and sat in a chair in my stateroom dozing. Suddenly I was awakened by a tremendous lurch ing of the vessel. Then I heard a loud knock at my door, and a tall, strange, and very excited dark-featured man hurriedly entered my cabin. Tho mau's actions were so peculiar that I jumped to ray feet and reached for a revolver which lay on my table. But I was too slow. Tho stranger had seized the weapon. I then asked the man gruffly what he wanted. He did not reply for some time, and then, al ter locking the door and putting the key and my pistol in his pocket, said: " 'l'm not sick, doctor. I've come here,'exposing a long knife from the sleeve of his coat, 'by order of the captain to cut your throat.' "For a moment I looked the strang er in the face, and his wild, steady stare soon convinced me that I had to deal with a madman. "I am not a coward, yet even now the thought of th atmoment makes me shudder. There I was in a remote part of the ship alone with a madman of twice my physical strength, without a chance to escape or means to give alarm, and being unarmed, entirely at his mercy. I therefore decided that resistance would be of tho least service to me, and that apparent aeqniescence would be best. All this quickly Hashed through my mind, aud accordingly, feigning the utmost indifference I could, I said: " 'The captain's orders must, of course, be obeyed. But can you do the deed quickly?' " 'Oh, yes,' replied the madman, calmly surveying the knife which he held in his hand. 'l'm a butcher by trade and can do the job easily with this tool.'" "Here he paused to examine with His thumb the edge of the knife, which looked rather blunt, and as he did so an idea struck me, and I remarked: " 'Your knife does not seem to have a very keen edge; the trachea is tough, yon know, and rather difficult to cut with such a blunt instrument.' "The madman now looked at me with a curious expression, ns if trying to read my thoughts, and then, after examining the knife more closely, Beemed to think my suggestion a good one; for he said: " 'Yes, doctor, I think you are right. A little sharpening will do no harm; so if you don't mind waiting I will go to the galley and get tho cook to help me put an edge on it with his grindstone.' "This was exactly what I wanted, ns, feeling sure he would not look the door after him, I thought my escape would bo easy. But picture my dis may when on his departure, I dis covered that the door was locked as securely as before. "What was I todo? I fiuugopeu the porthole and shouted with nil my might for assistance, but the fury of the gale was now so great that all my efforts to make myself heard were of 110 avail. Then in a frenzy of despair I looked about for some weapon of defence, but there was not so much as a stick to be found iu my cabin. I put my ear to the keyhole, and, thinking I heaid footsteps approaching, I impulsively threw off my coat, went to the furthest end of the room, aud standing as de fiantly as possible, resolved to fight to the lust. "I remember then the door bursting open and the entry of the madman, not alone, as I expected, but securely pinioned and attended by two of the ship's crew in charge of the second officer. The relief of the moment was so great that it completely prostrated me, and I fell in a faint to the floor. "When I came to lay senses I learned that tho peculiar and excited manner of the maniac, tho largo knife in his possession and his anxiety to sharpen it, drew suspicion on him and induced the officer to secure and bring him to my cabin to ascertain his con dition. Needless to say I pronounced the man insane, and he was kept securely confined aud watched day and night until the ship arrived in Liverpool, where he was handed over to the proper authorities. I returned to New York on tha same vessel, but never went to sea in the capacity of a surgeon again." Colonel Dice's Two Narrow Escape*. "Speaking of escapes from death recalls my experience with the mur derous elephant Romeo. Had I been a little slower in my movements I would have been his eighth victim," said Colonel Rice, refleotively. "One day 1 was directing the arrangement of some canvasmeu, and unwittingly ventured a cquple.of steps backward | and within range, of the death-dealing ' elephant, which' at once raised his trunk slowly with the purpose of giv* ing me a settler. He would have suo oeeded in killing me had not a young elephant nee- by trumpeted an alarm, and, like lightning, I at once sprang forward and out of danger from the murderous blow of the trunk by such a small distance that on the back ol my head I felt the wind occasioned by its descent. After that experience Romeo was always kept chained by all four legs. The young elephant which had saved me was rewarded with candy. "It is not surprising that eventually I essayed the role of lion-tamer," continued the speaker, "and under the able tutelage of Franconelli, the best lion-tamer I ever saw, and who, by tho way, subsequently met his death in a lion's den iu the city of Havana. After having twico accom panied the fearless Franconelli into the den of Richard 111, the largest and fiercest African lion ever exhibited in this country, it was at Viucennes, Intl., that I at length determined to enter tho dfin of the bea3t alone. Clad iu tinsel and spangles, at the after noon performance, amid an outburst of music by the band, I boldly ap proached the lion's cage, opened the barred door and entered unharmed. The great brute, which was lyiug upon the floor at the further end of the cage, seemed to not held my presence ! other than by a glance of sullen iu- i difference, so that I deemed my first I attempt at entering a lion's den u suc cess. "But my assurance of success was a ; little premature, and fortunate was it for me that beneath the cage was a furnace in which glowed red-hot iron I rods and that trusty attendants were j at hand to effectively wield them upon j the lion if necessity demanded. After a three minutes' stay in the lion's den I made a parting salute to the breath- | less audience and prepared to leavo; the cage. As I backed toward the | door I observed to my horror that the , lion [had almost imperceptibly risen j from the floor, preparatory to spring- 1 ing upon me. Almost overcome by ; the grave danger of my situation, I i contrived to signal the attendants to j thrust tho heated rods in between me and the bloodthirsty brute. Scarcely j had I done so when the great tawny creature hurled itself upon me and, \ burying its claws in my shoulders, 1 Dore me to the floor. "I felt the hot breath of the lion in I my face as he opened his huge jaws ! preparatory to sinking his fangs in my : throat, and a horrible death was but a j brief second distant, when the redhot \ irons were brought into play and used so effectively that the brute was forced to retreat to the far end of tho cage without inflicting further injury upon me. I was hurriedly drawn from the cage, none the worse for my thrilling experience, save badly shaken nerves, lacerated shoulders and a tattered tin sel jacket. As I hurried behind the , curtain the baud triumphantly played 'See, tho Conquering Hero Comes!' and I noticed that a panic in tho audi ence had been narrowly averted. And what became of Richard III? Oh, he lived to kill Franconelli a few months later."—Los Angeles (Cal.) Times. Ilv Tut Out tliu Flnali. The Rev. Thomas Allen, the first minister ever settled in the town of Fittstleld, Mass., was a man renowned and beloved for his gentleuess and piety. When hostilities between Eng land and tho colonies were declared, Pastor Allen's floek was astonished to hear their mild shepherd announce his intention to join the militia and fight for the right. At the battle of Bennington the Berkshire militia had their share in the conflict, and the Rev. Thomas Allen fought asa common soldier, side by side with his fellow countrymen. Knowing this good mau's natural aversion to violence and bloodshed, some one said to him after tho battle was over: "They say yon fought at Benning ton, Mr. Allen. Is it true?" "Yes, I did," answered the man of God. "It was a hot, close battle, and it became every patriot to do his duty." "Well, but, Mr. Allen," said the parishioner, "did you kill anybody?" "No," replied the courageous bnt conscientious clergyman, "I don't know that I killed anybody; but I happened to notice a frequent flash from be hind a certain bush, and every time I saw that flash one of our men fell. I took aim at the bush and fired. I don't know that I killed auybody, but I put out that flash!" A Gnoil Willi', (loud Work. In times past many financial pro jects were carried into effect toward "saving the Old South Church," but the principal way it was saved at the time of Boston's great fire v.-as through the fact that, though the interior of the Transcript Building was burned to the baseuiout, its northerly wall, six tali stories iu height, of solid brick, and unpierced with windows except at the very top story, stood firmly as a barrier against the further spread of the fire to the north. This wall was bnilt on honor, starting at twenty-four inches and carried nearly all the way up at that thickness. It stood as plumb and intact the day after tlio fire as the day tho top layer of brick was put on it in building.

HYPNOTIZED BY A FEATHER. Remarkable Inltuenoo l'xorted Upon A "og In New Jorge}'. There is a dog in Haekensack, N. J., that can be hypnotized by merely showing him a feather. Duke is the dog's name, and he is the property of ; a Catholic priest, the Rev. Father I John Lambert, rector of St. Mary's j Church. J "The dog is four years old, and is a! magnificeut full-blooded Euglisn set ter. It was about a year and a half ago j that the strange influence that a feather bas over Duke was discovered. Father ; Lambert is 1 a great lover of auimal pets, and always bas several about bis home. When the English setter was pur chased by him two years ago one of his pets was a dove named Bismarck. Duko and Bismarck were friends from the first, and the dog's fondness for the dove was really remarkable. Six months nfter Duko canio into the Oriest's household Bismarck was eateu oy a cat. Father Lambert kept one of tbe love's feathers as a souvenir. He placed it on the frame of a fruit pic :nre which hung in the diniug-room. liver after that when the dog was al lowed in the dining-room he would sit before the picture and watch it intent ly all the time he was there. Tt was noticed that his body trembled slightly. Duke had never before manifested a fondness for the piotnre, and his owner vas at a loss to know what caused the 'hange, until one day he brought the log up close to the canvas. To his mi-prise Duke did not look at the pic ure at all, bnt kept his eyes constant v riveted on Bismarck's feather on -ie frame. The nearer he got to it the uore convulsed his body became. The feather was thrown to the floor. Duke watched its descent anil could not be induced to turn his gaze from 1 t. He did not stir when be was :alled. He was hypnotized, for a strange 'orm of hypnotism it undoubtedly is. ; [t was noticed that when the experi ment was repeated frequently ill ef fects were prouduced ou the dog's Health. At no time could he be induced to j touch the feather either with his teeth : >r his paws until told that he mightdo I 10. Then he would take it gently iu 1 bis mouth, looking intently down at it i >ll the whils, and fetch it to his nias j ;er or walk with it toward the cabinet ; | ill which it was kept. The feather ' ! gradually wore away until nothing hut > part of the quill remained, but that bad the same effect as the whole feather. Then it occurred to Father Lambert j :o try other feathers, aud it was found j that any feather, excepting those of ■he ostrich, produoed the same result. | A World representative visited Father Lambert in bis home last week, ind bad demonstrated for tbo World's beneflt'Jthe remarkable effect of a feather ou tbe dog. Duke was at the loor wagging his tail vigorously when the reporter approached. As soon a3 the reception room door opened he lartod aoross to the further side, anil, sitting on his haunches, watched ilertly a closed drawer iu the cabinet. "Ah!" said the maid, "Duke if after bis feather." Then she explained ! briefly the dog's unique fascination. I Another remarkable characteristic ! ibout Duke is that he will not under | my circumstances eat the flesh of j birds. No matter how it is cooked, he I will not touch it. Once a little piece if cooked chicken was put with a lot !if other food given him. He ate all : Iho rest, but left the chicken un | touched.—New York World. llill Nyc' Lone Search.

One day i his brother—the same who had helped ! in the search—got a letter from Bill, i in which a ponding long trip to Europe was described. The letter wound up something like this: "You see, I'm going a long ways, and shall be away some time. While I'm gone I shall keep a sharp lookout everywhere. Maybe I'll find that blame calf. I've looked for it everywhere in the United States without success, and I'm going to try the old world." —Philadelphia Press. Tlio Professor'* Wife as a Critic.

A few minutes later the professor said: "My dear, that picture would show to better advantage if you were to hang it over the clock."

Whereby Sleep May he Produced. It is not proposed to discuss here those serious cases of obstinate in somnia which often tax the ingenuity and weary tbe patience of the most skilful specialist, but merely to men- i tion some simple measures by means I of whioh ordinary wakefulness may be j overcome without the use of drugs. Sleep is produced by a shrinking ot j the brain-cells so that they are no j longer in communication with each j other, and wakefulness consequently j results when these colls are in a state j of excitement and refuse to draw away j from each other. This excited condi tion may result from disease, such as fever, or it may come from worry, grief, or hard mental work. The main thing to do, therefore, in order to induce sleep, is to quiet these nerve-cells, and the prevention oJ wakefulness is best secured by avoid ing mental work in the evening. Often, however, a person must work at night. In that case, he should stop some time before going to bed, and il ho must work late, it is better to stay up a short time in order to secure an interval of rest before trying to sleep. This time may be passed in any way tlrat will force, or rather entice, the mind away from its previous occupa tion. A brisk walk or a short spin ou > the wheel, exercise with the dumb bells or Indian clubs, a cool bath things like these will often suffice for ! the desired purpose. Sometimes u j little snack, such as a bit of cheese and a biscuit, or a glass of milk, taken while undressing, will induce j sleep quickly. If the mind is dwelling persistently 1 on one subject, do not struggle to I force it to let thoughts, for you I will probably thereby make it take more tenacious hold. Try to lead it sway by picturing to yourself some monotonous, constantly recurring scene, like the water combing over ; the edge of Niagara's cliff, a swarm of Hies chasing eaoh other in the sun light, or a flock of sheep jumpiug one after the other over a log. Don't try to count, unless you would be like the man who was advised by bis doctor to count until he fell asleep, md who did count up to 25,652, when be found it WBB time to get up.
