A COLD SU MMER.
A Man Frozen to Death Amid INTENSE
Summer Heat.

Mr.. Jam es Knox, a young man of the
eastern part of this county, has been
strangely afflicted for about year, Hot
or cold, he was always affected rs If
freezing to death. His case has been ex-
emined by several skillful physicians, and
we understand, has puzzled them ALL He
was constantly using the devices to warm
himself that man might who had been
chilled by exposure to extreme cold, sit
ting around rousing fAes, enveoped IN
blankets and the house closely shut up
though the weather was at summer
heat. tits said ne would sit down by the
fire and hold his head down to it and al
most roast it in the effort to warm. It is
a fact that he put cloths on his head to
protect his scalp from actual burning
while doing thus, and the cloths have
been actually set on fire by the heat he
subjected them to in endeavoring to
warm his head. Some time ago he made
a visit to Livingston in the hope of being
benefited by the artesian water when DR..
Webb Of that town saw mis- case. Lately
he had determined to return to Living
ston and try again the waters, and again
consult DR.. Webb, going to his office for
that purpose. He seemed as one suffer
ing from extreme cold, and asked Dr.
Webb if he had any fire in his office. He
told him he did not, and that it was too
hot to have a fire and be comfortable.
He said he could not stand it, and ran
out OF the office into the street for the
benefit of the sunshine to warm himself.
The next day DR.. Webb had him in bis
office again to make more critical ex-
animation of his case, and had him rous-
ing fire. He carefully tested with Their
mometer the degree of animal heat he
carried, and found it near normal. With
all of this trouble he lost little flesh. and
kept a good appetite for food. and pre-
served rather a healthtul look On Fri
day he started home again in wagon
with Mr.. Meadows driving it. He had
not got far out of Livingston before he
wanted to return complaining that he was
freezing to death, and wanted to get
somewhere to warm. Meadows insisted
on continuing the journey on home.
and drove forward. Kaox Jumped outsof
the wagon and ran off into the woods.
Meadows pursued him, compelled him to
return and get into the wagon again. and
drove on. He got as far as Mrs Peteet's
Green Grants old place with him.
Mrs. Peteet had observed Meadows driv-
ing slowly along the road, and knowing
that he had gone to fetch the sick man
home, went out to the gate to make in
quiry. When Meadows drove up and
stopped to her inquiry, he said he be-
lieved Jim Knox was dying. He was ly-
ing stretched helpless in the bottom of
the wagon, and after it had stopped only
gasped few times and died, apparently
freezing to death last Friday, with the
thermometer at ninety degrees.

When the Sun Goes Down.

Two children were making the most of the day,
On the sand their castles building;
While out on the harbor, the sunset gold
Was every vessel gliding.
But the sea came over the castle dear,
And the charm of the sunset faded;
O, after labor is lost, may we
Go happily home as they did.
For we build and we build in different way
Till our heads grow wise and hoary;
And after it all, the sun goes down,
And the sea-'tis an old, old story.

How They Disported Themselves Yesterday
-Fi.t-shaking-A New Use for "a Map.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The House, disor-
dery and dsorganized. until 1t was little better
than a shouting mob. worried away an entire
session to-day in the trivial conduct OF an i'm
portant matter. and at the last. by an over
wheming majority. refused to receive the pro-
test against the River and Harbor bill. The
House ran on in disorder. with two centres Of
riot: the Republicans standing talking. shout
ing. interrupting.l around Conger. u little man
in n creased. old-fashioned swallow tail. and
the Democrats rs wild about Cox. All this with
numberless episodes. Atkins. tall. long
boned man. lost his temper. and swung a ges-
turing fist over little Mr. Cox's head. ana Cox
put the House to roar by jumping up and
shaking his fist in Atknss face. the top OF the
Tenneesean's head being somewhat beyond
HIM. Half tho House was wandering In the
aisIles. and the other hall on is legs laughing
before the climax OF disorder came. in a dis
cussion over a couple OF Pennsylvania trout
streams. The House became a perfect Babel.

The end OF It all was that the House. by an
