A Good Mate for Tanner.

The Cincinnati Commercial tells OF o
young German girl in Louisville. Ken
lucky, named Minnie Sssbscb, who has
been lying in bed for forty.four days
without taking any n%ourishmsnt. Shs
has been IN invalid for the last three
years with q bysterical nervous affection.
This disease manifested itself In various
ways, and seemed to como on period
icaily. She would at times be almost
wholly well and able to 60 about. At
one time. during q period Of three weeks,
her limbs were cramped and drawn up,
80 that it was impossible for her to move.
At another time she manifested different
symptoms, and would crow like o rooster
and bark like o dog. on being disturbed
from her lsthargy by any sudden noise.
But the most remarkable phase OF the
disease is the n that has manifested
itself recently. The girl lies In bed at
her homo in o semi.unconscious condi.
ton, with her mouth wide open. She
seems to have lost nearly all will-power
over the muscles. and does not seem to
notice anything unless she 10 suddenly
struck or touched, when q twitching
motion Of the muscles takes place. She
has not spoken o word. so her parents
say In two weeks. during which time
she has lain in this unconscious state.
But what IL more remarkable. 1t In posi-
lively asserted that she has not taken q
particle OF food for forty-four days. Her
parents have repeatedly affirmed that
she has utterly refused food. and during
her trance has been unable to swallow

water in several weeks.
