Sensation of Starving.

For the first two days through which
a strong and healthy man is doomed TO
exist upon nothing, his sufferings are,
perhaps, more acute than In the remain
ing states-he feels an inordinate, I'M
speakable craving at the stomach, night
and day. The mind runs upon beef,
bread and other substantials, but still,
in great measure, the body retains its
strength. On the third and fourth days,
but especially on the fourth, this inces-
SAINT craving gives place to a sinking
and weakness of the stomach, accom-
panied by nausea. The unfortunate
sufferer still desires food, but with loss
of strength he loses that eager craving
which is felt in the earlier stages.
Should he chance to obtain morsel or
two of food, he swallows it with wolf
ish avidity, but FIVE minutes afterward
his sufferings are more intense than
ever. He feels as if he had swallowed
living lobster, which is clawing and
feeding upon the very foundation of his
existence. On the fifth day his cheeks
suddenly appear hollow and sunken, his
body attenuated; his color is ashy pale,
and his eye wild, CLASSY, cannibalish.
The different parts of the system now
war with each other. The stomach calls
upon the legs to go with it in quest of
food; the legs, from very weakness,
refuse. The sixth day brings with it
increased suffering, although the pangs
of hunger are lost in an overpowering
languor and sickness. The head be-
comes giddy-the ghosts of the well-re-
membered dinners pass in hideous pro-
cessions through the mind. The seventh
day comes, bringing increased lassitude
and further prostration of strength.
The arms hang lifelessly, the legs drag
heavily. The desire for food is still
left, to degree, but it must be brought,
not sought. The miserable remnant of
life which still hangs to the sufferer is
burden almost too grievous to be borne
yet his inherent love of existence in
duces desire still to preserve it, if it
can be saved without tax upon bodily
exertion. The mind wanders. At one
moment he thinks his weary limbs can
not sustain him a. mile, the next he is
endowed with unnatural strength, and
if there be a certainty of relief before
him, dashes bravely and strongly for
ward, wondering whence proceeds this
new and sudden impulse.

A Case of SOmnambuIism.

Altogether the most interesting case
of somnambullsm on record is that of
young ecclesiastic, the narrative of
which, from the immediate communica-
ton of an Archbishop of Bordeaux, is
given under the head of somnambulism
IN the French Encyclopedia. This
young ecclesiastic, when the Archbishop
was at the seminary, used to rise every
night, and write sermons or pieces of
music. 10 study his condition, the
Archbishop betook himself severalnights
to the chamber of the young man, where
he made the following observations
The young man used to rise, to take
paper, and write. Before be wrote
music he would take stick and rule the
lines with it; he wrote the notes, to-
gether with the words corresponding
with them, with perfect correctness or,
when he had written the words too
wide, he altered them. The notes that
were to be black he filed in after he
had completed the whole. After COM
pleting a sermon, he read it aloud from
beginning TO end. If any passage dis
pleased him, he erased it and wrotClthe
amended passage correctly over the
other. To ascertain whether he used
his eyes, the Archbishop interposed a
sheet of pasteboard between the writing
and his face. He took not the least
notice, but went on writing as before.
The limitation of his perceptions TO
what he was thinking about was very
curious. A bit of aniseed cake that he
sought for he ate approvingly but
when on another occasion piece of the
same cake was put into his mouth. he
spit it out without observation. The
following instance of the dependence of
his perceptions upon, or rather their
subordination to, his preconceived ideas,
is truly wonderful. 1t is to be observed
that he always knew when his pen had
ink in it. Likewise, if they adroitly
changed his papers when he was writing,
he knew if the sheet substituted was of a
different size from the former, and APP
peared embarrassed in that case but if
the fresh sheet of paper which was
substituted for that written on was
exactly of the same size as the former,
he appeared not to be aware of the
change and he would continue to read
off his composition from the blank sheet
of paper as fuently as when the manu-
script itself lay before him nay, more,
he would continue his corrections and
introduce the amended passage, writing
it upon exactly the place on the blank
sheet which it would have occupied ON
the written page.

How the Siamese Twins Got Their
Wives.

Much speculation has always been
rife as to how the twins courted, and
finally became joined in the bonds of
Hymen. 1t happened that they were
travelling through the South, and stop
ped at the town of Traphill, in Wilkes
county, N. G. The country in this
locality being very romantic, and the
land good, the twins determined to
settle, and accordingly engaged in bust
ness in the village, being excellent
traders, and their novel condition soon
attracted many persons to them among
these farmer named Yates, who lived
in the immediate vicinity, and was pos
sessed of two bouncing daughters.
Chang and Eng looked upon these
women tenderly, and evinced great
affection for them, and, like ordinary
young folks, made numerous calls at
the residence of their bewitchers, and
there being a pair of them all around,
match was soon made, and the four were
two (or one). These wives always dis
played great affection for their iege
lords, and manifested the usual jeal-
ousies common to the human family.
From this double union there were some
twenty-five children born. Mrs. Chang
presented her husband with some nine
or ten, and of these but two were boys,
while in the Eng family the daughters
were proportionately outnumbered.
The offspring, contrary to the general
opinion and preceding statements, with
few exceptions, were healthy, robust
children. Philadelphia Press.

Fish Diet.

Those nations who eat fish with one
meal, each day, are undoubtedly the
most active in intellect, and the most
capable of brain labor without exhaus-
ton or fatigue. Not only is such phos-
phatic food conducive to the activity of
the brain, but it promotes fecundity,
and increases the ability to endure cold,
fatigue, etc.; and while the facilities for
obtaining it are constantly increasing, it
would be well for the rising generation
were they made to partake of and realize
it as second only in many respects to the
staff of life and the husband and father
who occasionally takes half day from
his legitimate business to fill his basket
with delicious fish, should not be con-
sidered as a mere sportsman" but O
"good provider" for his family of those
things which are of vital utility.--Heratd

How Many Figs They Care.

The trade in dried ifs, which has al
ways had its seat at Marseilles, has in
creased In an extraordinary manner dur
ing the last ten years. Not satisfied
with obtaining supplies from the depart
ments of the Bouches-du-Rhone and the
Var, the fruit of which enjoys such
great reputation in Paris, the trade of
Marseilles also receives q considerable
quantity of figs from abroad. In 1862
the importation amounted to 2,421
tons; that quantity had increased in
1872 to 6,6S6 tons, of which 4,0l0 we're
received from Italy, and 2.016 from
Algeria; Turkey also contributed 459
tons and Spain 178
