A Woman Who has been in q Trance
Six Months.

Des Moines Ia.) Leader: This
morning there was at the Civ
en- house strange case to a
physician and metaphysician, a
Mrs. Shade, of Guthrie county, on
her way in charge of her husband
to the insane asylum at Mt. Pleas
ant. Last March the lady became
suddenly crazy and quite violent,
and continued so until the twelfth
of June, when she passed into a
comatose state and has been appa-
rently sleeping ever since. She was
awake but once during the whole
period, last October, when she re
vived enough to converse, but not
coherently, and the next day went
to sleep again and has not since
awoke. She is fed by forcing her
mouth open, to which she makes no
resistance, and shows no relish for
the food; her breathing is regular,
but quicker than it would be in her
normal condition of health. 1t is
hoped that careful treatment by
the scientific gentlemen at Mt.
Pleasant may resuscitate her and
eventually cure her.

the rain washes it off and they re-
turn, repeat the dose. 1t will also

Exactness in Speech.

1t seems to us sometimes that
there is no habit more important and
more uncommon than the habit of
exact speech, of careful accuracy of
statement, even in the smallest mat
ters. There are plenty of good,
well-meaning people in our world
who never know that they are habit
ually, because they are uncon-
sc;ously, untruthful, and who would
be shocked and indignant if you
should accuse them of such a fault.
Yet their random assertions, their
positive differences, the different
words in which they. clothe the
same fact upon each repetition-all
these errors tend to distort and to
falsify, and what is that but lyingf
Children, with their lively imagina-
tions and their want of judgement,
are always prone to this fault, and
need especial watchfulness to cor
rect it. But while we reprove our
little ones let us keep a watch over
ourselves, lest the temptation of
"making a good story" out of a
meager fact do not seduce US into
misrepresentation which we shall
afterward deplore. To cultivate
exactness of speech. is to cultivate
justice and generosity as well.

A Venerable Rosebush.

At Hildesheim Cathedral there is
a rose-bush which is believed to be
over thousand yearssold. In recent
years it seems to have been getting
into deerepitude, and fears have
been entertained that it was goine
to die. The help of the most re-
nowned gardeners have been called
in to prevent this, if possible, and
several foreigners have been on the
spot for this purpose. Whether it
be due to their endeavors or not,
the old thing seems to have taken
fresh heart again. Out of the root
knobs of the bush a new sprout has
appeared which is growing so Wig
Orously that there is good hope that
this venerable rose stock may yet
''renew it's youth"

Frightened to Death.

An old bachelor in Enfield, Mas.
sachusetts, died last Sunday from
the combined effects of cat-bite ano
his own folly. Ever since the un.
lucky day in September, when he
was bitten by his own fifteen year
old tabby, he has been nervous, and
when a physician, who did not
know of this household incident
happened to read to him detailed
account of the symptoms and suf.
ferings of Prof. Alvergnat he has
been crazed with fear. The doc
tors told him again and again that
he had no symptoms of hydropho-
bia, but he was convinced that he
should die of that disease, and so be
has. On Saturday the nurses gave
him milk to drink, and he was in
such mortal dread of hydrophobia
that he trembled when he tasted il
and gulped at second swallow
enough TO choke him. On the next
day the paroxysms came. The in
cident will tend to swell the NOR
tality statistics of superannuated
and vicious cats.

Politics and Farming.

An ex Senator had something
wise to say about farming as well
as something significant about poll
tics, when he addressed his neigh
bors not long ago. He declared
that farming was not only the old
est but the most practicable occupa-
tion known TO man. 'If / had a
boy to-day" he exclaimed, 81 would
rather put him on an eighty acre
lot that had never had plough or
an axe upon than place him in
the best Government office in the
land" Agricultural papers will
please copy that remark, and farm
ers' lads, who are growing up dis
satisfied with country life and who
cannot overcome a restless desire
to go to the city and enter a profess
sion, will do well to remember it.

While in Northern Iowa recently
a case came to our notice of a new
use for straw, which if applied here
may be of vast service to wheat
growers. An intelligent farmer
there tried the experiment of spread
ing a light covering of it on his
wheat land after the grain was
sown, thinking that the growing
stalk would readily find its way
through, and that during the drouth
of July and August, which almost
always occurs, it would act as a
mulch and be beneficial to his crop.
In this he was not mistaken, for the
average on that ten acres was forty
bushels to the acre, while on the
same kind of land adjoining, with
the same seed sown and as carefully
put in, the yield was but twenty
two bushels to the acre. The in
crease was thus nearly double, while
the straw was in excellent condition
to turn under last fall, and a dou-
BILE benefit consequently secured.
The only objection we see to this
plan is, that the winds OF spring
might blow the straw into heaps
and otherwise disarrange it, but
this might be remedied by applying
1t after the wheat had come up. A.
temporary check would doubtless
be given to The stalk, but it would
soon come through and grow the
more vigorously Pion-

The COW is by no means the ONLY
animal that contributes tactical fiuic
for the support of man. Indeed
nearly every kind of domestic ami.
NAL, except the carnivorous species,
contributes in this manner whole
some aliment for the human family.
Next to the COW the goat is the
most extensively used for milk pro-
ducing purposes, and from this
fluid is made the palatable sapsago
cheese. I he inhabitants OF many
mountainous regions of Europe OBJ
tain all the milk they consume from
the goat. In some pastoral coun-
tries milk is obtained from sheep;
in Lapland from the reindeer; in

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
Sisters Of Charity Giving Skin,
Flesh and Blood to Save a Pa
tents Life.

An exceedingly remarkable sur
gical operation has recently been
completed at St GATHERINGS Hos,
pisal, Williamsburg. On, Friday.
August 2, 1876, while Dora Conrad,
of No. $40 Mangin street, was at
tending jenny in Waterbury's bag
factory, in Bushwick, her hair,
which was hanging loose, caught in
one of the spindles, and In an in
slant the hair and scalp on one eide
of her head were torn out. 1t was
done so quickly that she only felt a
tug. The overseer took her to St.
GATHERINGS Hospital, on Bushwick
avenue, where the doctors said they
could not do anything for her.
Two days after the physician in
charge said 81 can save her, and if
she can stand the operation 1 can
give her a new scalp by transplant
tation."
The operation of transportation
of skin is an exceedingly delicate
one, and has been but recently in
troduced into surgery as remedy
in cases of open wounds. The
CHASTITY injury inflicted on Miss
Conrad not only tore off the scalp,
but destroyed a portion of the peri
osteum. No hopes were at first en-
tertained for her recovery; but as
the days wore on her naturally good
constitution enabled granulation to
begin and flesh commenced to form.
Taking advantage of this the
Doctor took two pieces from Dora's
own arm, and cutting them in small
pieces, grated them on the perios-
teum, about quarter of an inch
apart, and in a row about a quarter
of an inch from the line of the low
err edge of the wound, holding them
in position with small strips of
plaster. In a few days minute RAM
ifications extended from these little
CRAFTS to each other and to the
sound skin, which gradually in
creased until they bridged. over the
space between them, and new skin
was thus produced.
This operation was carefully re-
peated during the seven months the
girl lay in the hospital, the CRAFTS
for the purpose being freely fur
nished by Sister Dolorosa from her
arms. Sister Joanna, another of
the faithful nurses in the institu-
ton, also furnished material for
gratis during the operation. The
doctor was so skillful in his manip-
ulations. that every piece of skin
grated took root and the en-
tire skull was again covered with a
firm, healthy but hairless scalp.
There are spots bereft of feeling;
they are those connecting directly
with the skull, the perlosteum hay-
ing been destroyed just there.
There was danger of the upper table
of the skull dying in these places,
but, fortunately, the oil dressing
prevented that.
The case excites much interest
among the surgical professIon.-N
