OF and On the Stage.

NYM CRINKLE says, in the Sunnyside
Press, that the best acting he ever saw
Adelaide Nelson do was between the
acts. He called upon her one afternoon
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and while
there three enormous baskets of flowers
were sent by the wife of a millionaire
banker. The actress was to choose the
one that should be sent up to her upon
the stage in the evening. She was Sc
verely critical, turned them around, and
finally, with delightful disdain, thought
.sthat one would do" That night after
the second act of "Romeo and Juliet :"
she was recalled. While bowling at the
footlight, there was stir in the aisle,
and two ushers made their way to the
orchestra with the ponderous and beau
tiful basket of flowers. II never saw
any thing so spontaneous" says the
writer, $50 childishly natural and so I'M
speakably charming as was her aston
ishment at the gift. She looked at it
with her handsome eyes filled with sur
ence as if there must be some mistake
and the gift could not be intended
for so unworthy an artist as herself.
The audience encouraged her by ap-
plause and she clasped her hands and
peered over its edge and trembled a
little with the force of the unexpected
honor. Then she picked it up, and,
beaming like a morning star, flowers
and actress went off in one variegated
mass of loneliness. / never saw her do
any thing which fer high art compared
with that

The Sleepy Disease.

WE have encountered two cases OF
narcolepsy," the sleepy disease. One
was Lieutenant of Cavalry in the Con-
federate Army. Before the war he was
dry-goods merchant, and since the
war he has returned to his store. His
narcolepsy dates from childhood. He is
a very fieshy man, of more than aver
age mental strength, and the father of
several vigorous children. When selling
goods, in the midst of a conversation,
and even while drinking a whisky toddy,
we have known him to fall asleep. In a
few seconds or moments he would
awake, apparently unconscious that he
had slept. A Confederate General of
great intellect, an enormously obese
man, was the second case. If talking
when the sleep came on, these gentle
men would, on waking, resume where
they had left off.-LouisUilLe (Ky.)

IT has been a subject of frequent dis
cussion, how to interest the young folks
in agriculture. Doubtless much of the
Importance given to this subject has been
gratuitous and undeserved, for the natu-
raj succession of the young men to the
farms and labors of their retiring
fathers does not seem to 60 by default,
excepting in those places where there is
nothing to be gained by the hardest
labor but the hardest kind of q living
from wornout and infertile fields. From
such farms the young men naturally
enough escape to the fertile West, but
upon those where fair industry returns a
bountiful reward and every comfort sur
rounds the homestead, there the young
men remain and continue the work
which has been begun by their fathers.
But there is q method of making farm
life attractive to boys and of interesting
them so much in rural affairs as to
draw them to the farm again in mature
life, it may be after years of absence,
while engaged in prosperous business in
cities. Such a method has been put in
practice by that exemplary institution
known as the Elmira Farmers Club.

Sleeping Six Months.

SCARCELY less astonishing than DR..
Tanners recent feat of fasting Ii the
condition of young lady, the daughter
of the Mayor of Grambke, n village near
Bremen, who is said TO have been fast
asleep since the second week in JAN
uary, with the exception of few hours
of semi-wakefulnes ut intervals of from
six to eight weeks. 1t appears that she
lies, plunged in profound slumber and
entirely unconscious of all that goes on
around her, night and day, reclining on
her right side, warmly covered up and
with a light gauze spread over her head.
Nourishment, chiefly in liquid form, In
daily administered to her, which she
swallows without awaking for second.
She is pretty, slender girl, of n pallid
complexion, but she does not lose in
weight during her frances of from forty
to sixty days, and when awake exhibits
q cheerful disposition and an eager de-
sire to perform such small household
tasks as her strength enables her to full
fill. Her father is a well-to-do man,
who has consulted several eminent med
ical men in the hope of discovering
some remedy for his daughters abnor-
nal condition, which entails serious in
convenience and constant anxiety upon
the other members of his family, but all
efforts hitherto made to keep the I'M
lucky girl awake have resulted in total
failure. Since the case of the sleeping
Uhlan at Potsdam no such interesting
subject for study and observation on the
part of the faculty has arisen as that of
the strangely somnolent Burgomastcr's
daughter of Grambke.-L0nIion 7eLe-

Only q Century AGe.

VERY strange does it appear TO rs 10
turn from our numerous miles of we'll
laid rails, and our swiftly flashing loco
motives, to the wagons of o century
ago. Yet those who avail themselves
of such humble means of locomotion
had their dangers to encounter. On
March 5, 1880, as the Stamford wagon
was getting well on the road to Hcrt-
ford, and the day was beginning to
dawn, q fire suddenly broke out, and 50
swift and destructive was its progress
that in very short time all was con-
sumed except u barrel Of porter and the
bottom and one wheel of the wagon.
The passengers and drivers werc Tse-
verely scorched in attempting to save
the goods, which were of considerable
value, the damage being estimated nc
Fl 900. On the 31st of the same month
a London wagon was consumed in .
similar way; the explosion of q cask OF
spirit insured the sudden and complete
destruction of the merchandise, valued
at about $4,000. Both accidents re-
suited from the lanterns being left in the
baskets, and the candles burning down
to the sockets.
Terribly severe were the laws Of .
hundred years ago, and they yield no
uncertain testimony of the inhumanity
of the age. Prisoners were whipped,
both publicly and in private without the
weaker sex receiving any favor. Burn
ing in the hand was still resorted to, and
terrible example of the injustice OF
the pillory is recorded, where man
named Read was so fearfully abused by
the mob that he died upon the spot.
No wonder the people were callous and
hardened! We read some sad items OF
news in 1880, but we are not shocked by
such paragraphs as this: "On January
10, the following malefactors were exc
cuted at Tyburn: Hugh Mulvey, John
Whitley, and John WOODWORK, for steal
ing two silk gowns, two pair of stays,
and other things; John Howell, for
stealing silk handkerchiefs and other
goods; and William Kent, for robbing
one of His Majesty's messengers of his
watch and money. They behaved exceed
ingly penitent, wept much, and were
terribly agitated and shocked at their
approaching dissolution. These unfor-
tunate youths were all very young, the
eldest not exceeding twenty-three years
of age.-London Paper.

The Loves Of Low Quong Kow and
Chun Chogyook.

On the 10th inst. the usual qp-of
the Chinese Consulate was broken mo
by the sudden advent Of young Chi
nese girl who had just made her escape
from band of high-binders and threw
herself upon the protection of the Con-
sui, explaining to him ut the same time
that there was young Chinese mer-
chant, by name Low Quong Kow, who
was trying to get her for wife and she
was anxious to marry him, and these
high-binders were preventing her from
doing so. Thereupon the Consul sent
her to the Mission Presbyterian Home
on Sacramento Street, and instituted in
quiries regarding the character of Low
Quong Kow. Finding all satisfactory,
and that he was abundantly able to take
care of the girl, whose name was Chun
Chogyook, he brought them together in
his private Office three days ago and
after having procured marriage license
he sent for the Rev. Otis Gibson. At
the request of the Consul, Mr.. Gibson
subjected the man to a rigid examina-
ton as to whether he already had wife
here or in China and his ability To sup
port a wife, all of which questions were
answered satisfactorily. Then the girl
was questioned as to her object in mar
rying him. She replied that she loved
him, and besides she wanted some one
to take care of her. The ceremony was
then performed in true Christian style,
though in the Chinese dialect, in the
presence of the entire Chinese legation
and several visitors who happened to be
calling at the Consulate at the time.
After the marriage rites the young hus-
band took his bride to her new home on
Stockton Street, which he had provided
for her reception.-San francisco Chron-

This club has offered prizes for the best
plot of corn planted and tended wholly
by boys under 16 years of age. The
competition thus entered into BY 3 largo
number of farmers boys has created
unusual enthusiasm and may prove to
be the turning point in forming the
courses of their future lives. When boys
of 10 attend farmers club as the most
interested of visitors, it may be safe to
set it down that those boys viii be faym-
ers, and probably good, solid, enterpris-
ing and successful ones. 1t Is an exam
pie for the widest imitation. Boys be-
