A Strange MaladY.

Robert Nelson is native of Glas-
gov. Scotland, and is AZ years of age.
He came to this country some years
ngO, and settled in lansing, Mich,
where he now resides. When baby
his mother was greatly troubled to put
him to sleep, even when put under the
Influence OF opiates. AS he grew older
this strange. malady increased, so that
sleep is unknown to him for periods of
over four months. He retires at night
the same as other people, rests well, but
never closes his eyes or feels the least
bit drowsy. He says: When 1 go long
periods without sleep the only peculiar
sensation 1 experience is that every
thing look at seems distant and larger
than it really is. A short man coming
towards me would apparently be
very tall. Before going to sleep, I
never : felt different than any prob
ably would on going to bed any
night. i would dream little dreams,
the same as most people do when rest
less and uneasy. Riding in the cold
makes me drowsy, if anything does In
summer time, 1 can 60 long periods,
and feel tip-top all the time. Last sum-
mer I did not sleep for four months. and
I worked every day.

Killing a Panther.
Palatka Herald.l

Paatka Herald.
At Murphy's place. near the town,
two goats were recently killed by a
Panther, and II sharp lookout has been
kept up ever since for the animal by
the people up there until last Sunday
Baker heard his deer hounds under full
cry in the distance, and after listening
a while attentively, he found that they
were running q circle, as their voices
would die away in the darkness, and
then break out again, clear and full rs
the dogs rounded up, and every time
the round was made the circle narrow
ed. BY the mane,Ivering on the part of
the varmint, MIR. Baker knew it to be u
panther. He grasped his gun, and,
notwithstanding the darkness and the
danger, started for the place where the
animal had ut last come tO n stand and
was fighting the dogs. This was an
almost interminable Jungle of briars,
vines and script, and it was only by tho
breaking of the underground, the
yelping of the hounds and the sullen
grOwl of the ferociOus beast that tho
conflict could be located. Baker drop
ped on his all-fours, and crawling cau-
tiously forward, came to where could
be seen the immense form of u panther.
Owing to the noise of tho fight, Baker
was enabled TO get quite near without
attracting notice, and. lying full length
on the ground, he threw his gun to his
shoulder and fired just rs the panther
rose with II mighty spring in the air
and shot over him, falling dead on the
other side. Ii was II very daring feat
and dangerous experiment. and Mr..
Baker was fortunate in getting only n
few briar scratches. The panther mea-
sured seven feet from tip to tip.

Americans and their Pigs.


The alarming story about the death of
7OO, 900 Illinois hogs in 1880 has now
been officially contradicted; but the pig
princes" of the West have been some
what slow in taking alarm. If they had
been more prompt with their contradic-
ton the scare would not have affected
SO seriously the foreign market for
American bacon. The Americans are
much more interested in the health of
their hogs than their customers abroad.
It is stated by competent authorities
that 15, 900, 600 of the inhabitants Of the
United States-that is to say, more than
one-fourth of the whole population
never touch flesh meat all the year
around excepting that which is supplied
by the hog. The greatest pork eating
nation in the world may be relied upon
to- take every possible precaution for
securing the health of the unclean but
useful animal on which they depend SO
largely for their sustenance.

had been praying and weeping; he
could hardly see.
"What is it?' he cried. els it q
mantle of white fur that has fallen on
Ivanyetta's shoulders?'
''It is snow from the window above"
cried his friend
Edwin rushed forward. But at that
instant the doors were opened for the
bearers, who had lifted the bier to their
shoulders. A great drift of powdery
snow swept in. Some people afterward
said that they saw q woman in white
fur, with a child in her arms, following
in the funeral train; but from that mo-
ment human eyes never again saw the
beautiful form of Ivanye eta Nekrasof.

Social Diversion,

American people of fashion are emul-
ating the Europeans in devising odd
and original forms of entertainment.
For several seasons lawn tennis, 8
O'Clock teas, archery teies, and kettle
drums have been the rage, and this
promises to exceed them all in gayety,
and there will be a good-natured rival
ry as to who provide the most novel en-
tertainment. Costume parties, masked
promenades, fableouc ric0nts, and high
teas had already been given, when
Lent put stop to the festivities, which
will be resumed with added zest after
Easter. An American lady residing in
London. apparently anxious to begin
something decidedly new in this direc-
ton, recently gave a ''soap7bubble par
ty." The guests found a long table
covered with china pipes, tied with gay
colored ribbons, and dishes of warm
soap and water They spent some time
in the childish amusement of blowing
soap bubbles, and the evening ended
with Entertainments aud music.
