A WHITE IspAxr Turns BLACK

A WHITE INFANT Turns BLACK
The New York Times publishes the fol-
lowing from its Philadelphia correspon-

town physician has been attending Il case
of disease that is so rare that the like of
it has never been known, or, at least, re-
corded in medical works. 1t is case of
real melanosis, or pigmentation, where
the pigment, or melanemia, as it is tech
nically called, which gives color to the
hair and eyes, pervades the whole body.

his marriage there was born to the couple
fine and apparently healthy boy. The
infant thrived and promised to develop
into a robust man. He was a beautiful
child, with fair complexion, dark eyes
and silky, dark brown hair, which grew
in profusion. But in few days the
parents were alarmed at remarkable
change that was coming over the child.
He gradually grew dark. At first his
skin became a pale yellow, then deep
ened into saffron hue, and then, to the
terror of the parents, grew darker yet.
The color was Uniform all over the body,
except at the joints, where it was o little
darker, and in the palms of the hands,
where it was lighter. The once brown
hair grew stiff and jet black, and the eyes
also grew darker, so that the line between
the pupils aud iris could not be distin-
guished. In spite of medical treatment
the boy grew worse, and grew very weak,
all the time the color of his skin deepen

full-blooded negro. Then he was at.

frequent and violent until they threat
ened the child's life. 1t was in one Of
these that DR.. Reynolds was called in.
He succeeded in curing the spasms, and
then devoted his attention to the strange
disease which afflicted the child. He at
once recognized it as melanosis or pig.

books in general way, but there ia no
case given where it had developed all
through the body. This was over sixteen
months ago, the child being then thirteen
months old. Since then the boy has
greatly improved, by degrees becoming
lighter, until now is of4a light: chest

has had the case in charge the child has
been visited by over 200 physicians.

A STRONG Casa Detroit lawyer
had bill of $240 against q certain citi-
zen put into his hands for collection the
other day, and he wrote note asking the
debtor to call at his Office and see about
it. The man promptly appeared, looked
the bill over, aud said:
"Well, guess that's all correct"
"You acknowledge the indebtedness,
do you?"
aI do"
"And what arrangements will you
make to settle it?"
"I'll put in an Offset. I've been feed
ing two hogs for this ulen all winter, and
my bill is just s240. I was figuring it UP
this very morning."
"What, $240 for feeding two hogs for
three or four monthsr' exclaimed the
astonished lawyer.
"Just four months, sir, and the bill is
correct"
"And what are the hogs worth to-
day." "
"Well, you'll find it hard matter to
convince the court that your hog-feed
was worth any such money"
"Hog-feed?" shrieked the other, as he
suddenly jumped up, "do you suppose
I'm charging $40 for the feed them hogs
devoured? No, sir. put in the feed at
only $40, but the 5000 is for my Sunday
hat, which fell into the pen and was gob-
bled down, and for anxiety of mind for

SLEEPING. CAR CoMEDY.-A traveller
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad re-
lates the following incidents of travel:
A middle-aged married couple have
turned in next to me, having boarded the
train at a way station. They have evil
dently been much hurried and are out of
humof, for the wife is fretful and excited,
and:the husband growls above his breath
in this style:
"Now, I'll just bet you didn't put my
night-shirt in"
"S'hush It's in the basket in the corn
err" replies the woman.
"rve looked in the basket and faint
there. I s'pose you put it at the bottom
under the vittals."
"Under the vittals, indeed! Why,
John, what on earth are you a-doin'?"
"I'm lookin' for my shirt"
"Don't, that's the wrong basket. You've
gone and split them pickles ell over the
bed! never seen such a manw

there was a whirring sound, which indi-
Gated that she had pitched the missing
article into his face just in time to choke
off wicked rejoinder.
"S'posen the cars would run off the
trackp added she. "You'd be a nice
pictur, wadin' out of a swamp or rollin'
down bank in that, wouldn't you?"
''I'd be just rs comfortable and purity

"My tongue! Well, damn me, Mary

"There, now, you're cursiug me, you
you" Breaks off to sob.
There's where she had him.
I fancied soon after hearing the reso-
nant and beautiful sound of kiss, but
perhaps it was only the angels, and l
dropped off to sleep again. On the fol.

LONDON, May 2l.-A Berlin special says
"The Centre party observes strict re
serve, but 1t denies loudly that 1t is wait
ing for instructions from the Vatican.
The Progressists are trying to form ma
jority against the Government. The
National Liberals are still divided on the
attitude regarding the bill revising the
May laws. A very hard struggle will
have 10 be fought on this matter in the
Chamber OF Deputies. The reasons why
the Government has resolved TO introduce
the bill are two-iold: Firstly, the Vatican
has not yet answered the resolutions Of
the State Ministry Of the l7th Of May, de
claring what concessions will be accorded
by Prussia should the Vatican really wish
peace. Prince Bismarck Is now resolved to
coerce the Vatican to an open declaration.
He hopes the new bill will be the best
means for the purpose, for Prussia does
not intend TO use accorded powers before
the Vatican has agreed 70 the demands Of
the State, as every pretext on the part oI
Curia for q relationing understanding
will thereby be swept away. Another
reason why Prince Bismarck wishes 70 in
troduce the bill is said 70 be to explain
the fact that not only he, but every inau-
ential person at the Imperial court wishes
to see peace between the Church and State
