MICE AND ALL1GAroRs IN A LADY's Srom-
AcH.-The Lexington (Ky.) Press tells story
OF lady residing in Frankfort who had been
very sick for some time, and so very strange
were her symptoms as to utterly set at naught
the skill OF the physicians. She suffered from
general debility, became frightfully emaciated,
and yet possessed most voracious appetite,
and people began to account for the latter phe-
nomenon by the old superstitious method of as
signing the cause to the possession of an ''eat-
ing wolf" The mystery was solved fow days
ago, when, after sick spell and violent fit of
retchlng, she elected from her stomach a mouse
(dead( and shortly after living alligator of
small dimensions. Some of the physicians
have expressed an opinion that there are more
OF these animals remaining in the lady's stom-
ach, and that they are being constantly gener-
ated there. But as to how they had their ORR
gin there we have not heard that any one has
ventured to risk an assertion or explanation.
