Two YOUNG GIRLS WHO WENT ASLEEP
ON THE 9Th ULT. NOT YET AwAKA.-For
ten days two factory girls, named Dever-
ell, of Cohoes, N. Y, have been lying in
q letharoic state in their room in Cata-
ract street boarding house. On the 9th
ult they retired to bed as usual, but had
complained all day of singular sensa-
ton of drowsiness Next morning they
did not appear, and their landlady went
into their room. They were both asleep.
The landlady could not arouse them, and
until Sunday, the 18th. neither of them
gave any evidence of awakening On
that day the elder of the girls woke and
dressed herself. Soon afterwards she
fell asleep, and with her sister has re-
mained asleep ever since. The case has
attracted the attention of the medical
men. who are watching its result with
great interest. The girls are to all ap-
pearances in @ natural and healthful
sleep. Food is forced into their stomachs
by artificial means. The sleepers are
sixteen and twenty years of age.

He had a sort of disg usted look as he

A COAL BURNERS VENGEANCE.

A German took contract for putting
up and burning certain number of
coal pits. He erected cabin and began
work. Some Russian wood-choppers
near by watched his proceedings some
what enviously, and finally jumped the
cabin and the coal-pit and frightened off
the old German. The latter was with
out coin or friends, and was forced to
abandon the premises. The bitterest
thought in the Teuton's mind was that
the wrong should be inflicted by Russi-
ans. He was clearly outnumbered and
overpowered, but as his job was gone he
had abundant time for planning revenge.
The Russians continued burning the
coal-pit. Stick after stick of number one
pitch pine was cut and carefully laid in
the pit. One morning at day break they
discovered the old German sneaking
away from the coal-pit, but, after chas-
ing him couple hundred of yards, they
thought no more of the affair. In due
time the pit was completed, covered
with dirt and ignited. Very jubilantly
the Russians watched the first tiny
smoke-wreaths curl upward. They had
fairly captured Dutchnan's s coal-pit.
Suddenly as they were dancing exult-
antly around and over the smouldering
mound, it rose up bodily into the air
with a VIOLENT explosion. Russians,
and dust and timbers, smoke and exc
crations promisicuously filled the air.
A quantity of powder had been slowed
away in the centre of the pit, and the
fire had reached it. The Russians were
more scared than hurt, and picked
themselves up in time to see and hear
the frantic gesticulations and shouts of
q triumphant old German who suddenly
appeared and as suddenly disappeared
on the hill above them. The coal pit
famed up and burned to ashes, and the
Russiaus went back to their wood chop
ping, crest-fallen and out witted.

FARMERS WORK TOO HARD.-Geo. r.
Drew, Vermont farmer, had the fol-
lowing to say at farmers festival:
"Farming can be made more pleasant
by making business of it and not at
tending to too many other things at the
same time. And then by not over work
ing. I think there has been an improve
ment in this respect, but there is need
of more still. [ have said [ would not
take the gift CT farm and be obliged
to work as I did when q boy. I now see
the policy Of giving children and young
folks great deal of recreation. [ am
sure that more work can be done in a
long run by working ten hours a day
than by being actively engaged for
fourteen hours. Also, we should not
be too much confined at home; We
should go away occasionally, and many
times we might gain enough to make up
for our lost time"

SAVING MANURE.-There is at this sea-
son of the year, perhaps, more than any
other, a disposition to neglect the proper
care of the manure pile. The hurry of
the work OF the farm in general at this
season leads men to overlook those
things that seem to be less pressing: and
the great heat and drying winds of this
season lead to the dissipation of the fer
tilizing gases of the manure pile. The
custom of throwing the manure from the
stable and leaving it to lie and bum up
or dry away in the barn yard is quite
common, but it is certainly. very bad
economy. Stable manure, when thrown
into loose heap, begins almost imme-
diately to ferment, and if permitted to
remain in that condition enough heat is
soon generated to burn up the substance
and drive of the fertilizing qualities of
the manure. What is left after such a
process of cremation is worth but little
more, as q fertilizer, than 50 much straw.
It's nitrogen has all been dissipated in
the air. Indeed it has lost nearly all its
fertilizing elements of an organic char
acter.

A WEASEL KILLS A SNAKE.-Maior
George Danforth, of Amhurst Station,
n. H., witnessed queer contest in his
field a few days ago.. In the grass was
large, black snake, upon the back of
which was little weasel, who would
bite him through, and then, as the snake
turned to defend himself, would spring
into the air and very soon spring upon
him and bite again. This was continued
until the snake was bitten from head to
tail, his blood extracted, and life extinct.
