Strange Woman

The following Is from the Lancas-
ter, Pennsylvania, Enquirer, which
vCuches for It's entire correctness:
In one Of the rural districts Of this
country lives a woman, aged sixty
five years, who for the past five years
has been an invalid, and whose pres
ent condition is remarkable. During
her previous life she ias borne, by no
means, an enviable reputation, and
strange stories are rife in the COM
munity, concerning hsr former life.
The most current OF these is one TO
the effect that year, ago, she, with
the aid of her brother and mother, in
order to conceal the birth of = child,
roasted IL in an oven This and ma
ny others are circulated, and gain
credence from her present condition.
More than year ago, after being a
helpless invalid Tor years, she arose
one day in her bed, and in firm
voice said ''In this condition must
remain for thousand years, though
there come famine and starvation, yet
I viii neither live nor die" With g
spasmodic twitch and cOnvulsive
movement, her limbs were doubled up
in the most intricate manner, and she
sank upon the bed, where she has
since remained sDsechless, and IN
able to move. Whether her silence
is to be attributed to q visitation Of
Providence or stubbornness is not
known. Her appearance j. describ-
ed by visitors as most fearful to be-
hold. Her limbs are twisted about
her in & wonderful manner, and her
facial expression is almost demNnia-
cal She refuses 10 take food in the
presence of others, but as sOOn ~
they leave tile room, devours with
the greatest avidity whatever is set
before her. What renders her case
still more remarkable are the facts
that her brother, years agl, com nit
ted suicide. and, that her mother lin
gered helpless invalid f0F nearly
thirty years

.AII Rlghtee. i"

The Vallejo Independent tells the
following good story: "a laughable
incident Occerred one evening, recent
IL, on the up-train to Sacramento.
There were two seats in the car turn
ed so as to face each other. one was
occupied by q lady, and the other by
Chinaman. Evidently the lady did
not relish the presence Of a China
man, and set her wits to oust him out.
She succeeded about rs follows:
Motioning the Chinaman 10 arise,
she explained to him that she wanted
to take the cushions and their frames,
and place them lengthwise across
from seat to seat. John said "all
rightee,D and got out into the aisle
while she placed the seats as above
described, and then proceeded t0 lie
down on the bed thus improvised,
with her head on her valise.
She supposed that the ChinaGan
would at once take the hint that the
lady wanted to take a little rest IN the
sDace usually occupied by four per-
sons. But John hadn't heard OF the
woman's rights movement, and at
once proceeded to crawl in and stretch
himself by her side, with his head on
q little bundle of his own. The Chit
nese are an initiative race, and like to
do as Others do, you know.
The lady, as soon as she had discov-
cred that she had bed-fellOw, got up
a little wildly, and started for the next
car, to the infinite amusement Of the
passengers, who had been watching
the little scene with some Interest.
John took no notice Of the fun be had
created, but went to sleep With the
whole bed to himself.
