NINETEEN DAYS WITHOUT SLEEP.

The question, how long can hu-
man being live without sleep, is
difficult to answer, though it has often
been asked. An Austrian paper of
recent date contained letter from %
correspondent living in China, which
throws a little light OH the subject
A chinese merchant at Annoy was
tried for killing his wife, and found
guilty of murder. He was sentenced
to death by the privation of Sleep
He was placed in cage under the
watch of four policemen, who watch
ed him six hours each during the
twenty-four, and he was never u
moment alone. He could eat and
drink as much as he cared, but
neither night nor day was he allowed
to close an eye. The unhappy man
lived nineteen days. AT the begin
ming of the eigth day his sufferings
were so great that he begged them
to take his life either by shooting,
drowning, burning, hanging, behead-
ing, or telling, but the guards turned
deaf ear to him. Such executions
are too expensive to become general

The Wolverhampton Town Council
have nearly got themselves into an
awkward pedicament. The friends of
their late clerk, Mr.. John Bryan, who
recently "defalcated" to the extent
of fl, 400, having offered to refund
the amount of his populations, the
tender-hearted councillors passed
resolution staying further proceedings
against him. To their surprise their
clerk, at the next meeting informed
them, on the strength of "counsel's
opinion" that all who had voted for
the resolution might become in the
eye of the law of the land parties to
the offence known as compounding q
felony. 1t is hard upon poor Bryan,
but it is amusing at the same time,
to see how quickly the council
''scuttled OUT of the merciful posi-
ton they had taken up. 1t is now
determined, by twenty-five votes to
four, that outraged justice shall be
promptly indicated. x Life.

A FEARFUL O. GRAFTON.

DIR. Henry b. Sands, visiting SUR
geon of the Roosevelt Hospital, New
York City, on Tuesday last at that
institution performed the rare and
generally fatal operation of ampu
tating the hip joint. The patient was
a woman forty-fve years of age, and
was suffering from periosteai sarco-
ma, or tumor growing around the
bone. The tumor was of two years
growth, and the limb at the greatest
circumference measured twenty-six
inches. The operation was an un-
usually difficult one, even for this
class of amputation, owing to the
upward growth of the tumor. After
the patient had been put under the
influence of ether, and all the preli-
minaries arranged, it required DR..
Sands two minutes to disarticulate
the head of the femur, OF thigh bone,
from its socket. Ten minutes more
we're consumed in tying mp the blood
vessels. Though the patient suf-
fcred greatly from the shock, hopes
oiS III nIl iCCONClG.
Ninety physicians witnessed the
operation, among them Sir William
MacCormack, an eminent English
surgeon, now on visit to this coun-
try; Doctors Weir, Markoe, Little,
Bull, McBurney, Stimson, Dennis,
Halstead, Post and Sayre, and many
of the resident physicians of the
several hospitals.
The amputation of the hip joint is
seldom attempted. But three other
operations of this character have
taken place in Roosevelt Hospital in
thirteen years. OF these, two were
successful. About year ago DIR.
Weir operated successfully on a boy
z years old, at the New York Hospi-
tai. 1t is estimated that only about
10 per cent of the patients operated
upon recover, but when the amputa-
ton is necessitated by disease, the
chances of recovery are said to be
better than when it is nccessitated
by accident. IS. r. Chronicle.

The Sequel.

The young lady from Portland who left home
with the travelling show, and whose brother
sought her at the hands OF the Lewiston police,
Monday afternoon, was found disenchanted.
She was willing to retire from the show busi'

pot and q seat In the 415 train to Portland
without word of regret. There was evident
ly misunderstanding. The young lady, who
is, by the way, but 10 years OF age, and re-
markably wide awake and pretty girl, says
that the man promised her S25 a week and
that at Lewiston she should be joined by an
other young lady, and that their duties would
be to take tickets at the door When she got
to Lewiston she found no other girl, and her
employer said that she must be mistaken, and
that only So per week had been promised. She
didn't like the work at the outlook. She was

ing after years and years of buried sorrow, is
fresh and good, and might be elaborated to ad-
vantage. 1t is reiuyenating scene, and
while all catch tho humor of it some OF every
audience sympathize with it. There are many
old memories in theatre full of people, and
when these are touched up lightly The effect is
always pleasant The last act is the brightest
and best Of all. In ii there Is some vigorous
slang-slinging, which, when slung back from
the lips of maidenly modesty, is the best COM
mentary upon the vice of slang on the stage.
The play is clean and eenteel all through,
while it is luscious with good humor that calls
or an accompaniment of continuous laughter.
In Paradise Is another Raymond success, and
furnishes y greater variety OF situations for
comedy than any play this populer actor has
had written TO his breezy STYLE"

Cruelty to Horses.

Will you through your paper permit atten

used in hauling dump carts.
In the gradual decrease OF the Deering
pasture laad, the filling up in the making of
new streets. house lots, &C., there has been,
particularly the past year. considerable
movement among dump carts through the
State street northerly terminus aud vicinity.
And ia the past year residents thereabouts
have been heart sick at the sight OF drivers
beating these poor-and very poor as some of
them are-dumb creatures. Whatever the
fault with the harness, or the size OF the load
on an up grade, the horse Ia the blamed object
as down on his poor skin covered bones the
blows are mercilessly dealt by an unfeeling
driver. Twice last year horse and cart went
over an embankment through the awkward
handling Of these hot seaded clumsy drivers.

far enough, and this medium is sought as it
seems that the public should know such things
and that people generally with little courage,
commonly called spunk---stould have the
right OF interference and have part In putting
a stop to this too common abuse. With or
without authority, your correspondent has
taken upon himself twice to stop abuse TO
horses when II came under his observation.

Deborah Mecher Larocque was born in Port
land in 1906. She had three sisters named
Margaret, Elizabeth, Martha, and one brother
John. She had also half brother Benjamin.
Mrs. Larocque's grandfather, on the paternal
side, was aide to Napoleon Bonaparte, and on
the maternal side was Gen. Shelborne. When
she was a little girl her father moved to Fox
Island, from there to La Pierre, thence to
Kingston, Canada, and thence TO Niagara
where Mrs. Larocque lived till an old lady,

nurse, and wishes she could hear from any OF
her relatives if any are living. She was twelve
years old when her mother died and about
fifteen when her father died.
