NARCOLMSY.
A Kansas City Chill Who Drops
into Sound Sleep Without Warn.

A Kansas City Chill Who Drops
into Sound Sleep Without Warn
ing.
A very strange case ola little girl, four
years old, suffering from narcolepsy,
has been reported in Kansas City. The
disease is a very peculiar one, and the
patient is liable to go off into sound
sleep tany moment, which may continue
for several hours and at times even two
or three days.
A few weeks ago, DR.. Robert II. Por-
ter WAS called to see the child in ques-
ton at her home, on Portland avenue.
She first developed symptoms about a
year ago, after an attack of typhoid fe-
yer. The first indication her mother
had Of the trouble was the restlessness
of the child, which would often have
'nodding Spells" These attacks of
sleep gradually increased in severity and
frequency until she had at least twenty
aday, and often as many as five or six
at the table while eating. These attacks
only lasted for about minute, but they
were very profound and it was iInpossi-
BILE, to wake her until the spell passed
away. When she recovered the child
would Immediately resume what she
had been doing, perfectly innocent OF the
intermission that had taken place.
When the attacks would come on she
would fall forward on her face and a
large tumor was produced on her fore
head from the frequent contuslons. A
few monthsago she began to have spasms
in addition to the narcolepsy, and be-
came very destructive, having a desire
10 kill everything she came in contact
with, and it required great care to re-
strain her.
The case is a very remarkable one
from the development OF the desease so
carly in life. as with children the usual
tendency in sucli cases is to idiocy in
stead of insanity, as it is a very rare oc-
currence Tor a child not over Eve years
10 become insane. The little girl was
put under treatment for the disease, and
is now perfectly recovered, not having
an attack for a couple of weeks.
The freaks that have been produced
in cases of this kind are very curious
and sometimes amusing: A couple oil
wears ago there was man afflicted with
aorcolepsy whose attacks OF sleep used
to last from two 10 three days, and
come on once or twice a month. Some
time ago well-known sporting man
NJ TO was narcoleptie, was a source %
mach curiosity. Occasionally he woulo
astonish his friends by going TO sleep a

abroad, combined with plush lace and
velvet, for trimming fancy articles and
also for dress trimmings.
Charming little opera hoods are made
of lace-ahite or black-lined with a
quilted sa in OF some bright color.
They are fashioned like a chitd's hood,
with a lined cape of the lace to Protect
the throat The first row of lace upon
the top Of the hood falls in niglige
manner over the hair aud forehead. 1t
fastens under the chin with ribbons of
satin matching the hugh of the lining.
When lace isnot desirep white or pale
tinted satin is employed, with a border
ing Of white plush, or better still, a
trimming of white ermine, with pelerine
and muff to match. lined with rose color
or light blue.
Wide, stfaight-brimmed sailor hats of
plush or velvet, having Che crowns COM
pletely covered with short, fluffy ostrich
tips, are very much worn by Young girls
in their teens.
The most stylish round hats are t;p-tilt-
ed over the forehead, the Langtry and
the old-looking Phyrgisn cap being ia

Arsenic and the Complexion.

From the LoEdon Lancet
1t is necessary to raise warning cry
against most mischievous statement
which has recently been circulated, and
has already done HARM to the effect
that ''arsenic in small doses is good for
the complexion" 1t is not difficult to
imagine the risks women will incur to
preserve or improve their g cd looks.
No more ingenious device for recon-
mending a drug can be hit upon than
that which the authors of this most bane-
full prescription of arsenic for the COM
plexion" have adopted. Suffice it Is to
recall the fact that for many years past
chemists and sanitarlans have been
Iaboring to discover means of elimiant-
ing the arsenical salts from the coioring
matter of wall papers and certain dyes
once largely used for certain articles of
clothing.
1t is most unfortunate that this hope
lessly antagonistic recommendation OF
arsenic to improve the complexion
should have found its way into print.
Those who employ the drug as advised
and there are many either already
using it or contemplating the rash act
viii do so at their peril. So far as they
are able, however, it will be the duty OF
medical men to warn the public against
this pernicious practice, which is only
too likely to be carried on secretly. II
is not without reason that we speak thus
pontedly and urge practitioners to be
on the quiviye in anomalous or obscure
cases.

FIELD AND FARM,
Farmers Breyities.

Look ont for damage from mice if you
have trash OF any kind heapsd up around
wour trees. Many valuable trees are lost
every winter by not attending to this little
pest; he girdles the tree at the ground and
YOU may not know anything about it until
next summer. when you find the tree in q
dying condition. His time for doing his de-
struetiye work Is when there is snow on the
ground.
Harness should never be kept in the sta
Bic, where manure is constantly generating
large quantities Of ammonia. This AM.
rnonia is rapidly absorbed by the leather
and the effect npdn the leather is about the
came as would result from saturdtins il
with strong I've. In word, ammonia rots
leather and hence keeping harness in the
stableis sure to result in us damage more
or less.
yentrai hernia consists of.a protrusion OF
the gut through an opening or rent in the
peritoneum, and appears as a soft swelling
on the belly. The only treatment is 10 re-
duce the rupture in the following manner:
Quiet the animal by the administration Of
one ounce of chloral hydrate, or by causing
il to breathe chlorol from a sponge
saturated with it and held to the nostrils.
Then turn the animal on its back and gent
ly push the protFuied intestine into the
belly if il does not return of It's own accord,
Apply pad of leather over the parts and
secure it by means II a bandage or belt so
secured that it cannot be displaced.
The diseases Of the horses foot known as
thrush consists of Inflammation of the Sc
creting membrane of the frog, and appears
as a ietid discharge from the cleft OF the
frog, with lameness when the frog touches
the ground, as going on soft road or over
pebbles. The treatment is to open the dis
charging cleft as much as possible and inject
into 1t Solution of suiphate of zinc; then
dip soma tow in the solution and fill the
crack Do this twice day, cleansing the
foot each time. Give the horse one pound
EPSON salts. Care is TO be taken that the
animal stands upon clean floor. To pre-.
vent lameness when upon soft ground use a
bar shoe or sole leather sole stuffed with

SPAWN is diseased growth ofbone on
the inside generally of the hook joint. As
this growth cannot be removed, a spawn is
really incurable, although it may be render
ed harmless Under some circumstances. 1t
generally begins from q Spain causing in-
fammation of the membrane covering the
bone, but it is sometimes constitutional.
The usual treatment is to apply cold water
bandages to remove the Inflammation, and
then bistering ointment; iodine ointment
has been found very useful for this troubie,
well rubbed on the part once day. Rest is
necessary, as the use of the Joint is apt 10
reproduce the inflammation. GAe enlarge
ment of the bone cannot be removed. The
so called certain SPAWN cures are not to be
depended upon unless they are used at the
outset of the disease.

Cooking Without Eggs.

At certain seasons of the year it is
pleasant and profitable to know how to
cook palatabe dishes without using eggs.
Here is an excellent rule for making
rice pudding without eggs. Wash d cof-
feecupful of rice III two or three waters,
then let it soak all night in one quart OF
Of new milk; in the morning add a little
salt, a, large spoonful of butter, a little
ground cinnam. n and grated nutmeg.
Put in the pudding dish and set in the
hours, for it to cook. Stir it frequently,
but without removing from the oven.
When it is beginning to bubble add a
quarter of d pound Of stoned ralsins.
Serve with powdered sugar sprinkled
over it, when it is put in saucers.

the bar while taking drink and remain
perfectly Unconscious of any Interrupt
ton. He created considerable excite
ment one night at gentleman's honse
by ia ling sound asleep while just in the
act of receiving an introduction to a
young lady, much to her discontinue
and his friends amusement. 1t is inn
possible to arouse the patient out of
these sleeps, and the attacks are liable
to come on at any moment, no matter
how the victim may be situated.
This mysterious and unaccoantable
disease was first described ten years ago,
and since then it has received much at
tention from neurologists, and its CLASH
ficatioil has not yet been definitely set
tied. From the spasmodie character OF
the disease and its frequent association
with epilepsy, physicians believe it one
of the branches of this disease, and ere
long, no doubt, it will be given its APP
propriate position with the epileptic
class.

Ladx-Fingcrs without Rings.

Lady fingers made after this receipt
are very nice for tea; they should be
eaten while fresh: Rub hall pound of
butter into a pound of flour; to this add
half pound of sugar, and the juice and
grated rind of one large lemon and, last
ly, three eggs, the whites and yolks beat-
en- separately and the whites stirred in
after all the other ingredients are mixed
together. This dough, if properly made
will be stiff enough to make rolls about
the size of lady's finger; it will spread
when in the oven, so that it will be Of
the right size and shape. If you wish
them to be especially inviting dip them
in chocolate icing alter they are baked.
Take pains to see that the icing Is so
hard that it will not run and set the
cakes on a platter in cool room until
the icing is firm.
Delicious peach ice cream is made by
rubbing through a sieve one dozen
whole canned peaches, or what is equal
to that number, and six ounces of white
sugar, and one pound and halt ofsweet
cream should then be mixed with the
pulp. After thorough beating freeze
it as you do common ice cream. II you
wish to make the fancy complete and
have the cream ola peach color, few
drops of cochineal can be used; or if you
object to that, the cream may be colored
with the juice of the red raspberry.

We copy from the American Poultry
Yard the story of Chow the Parson Set
a Hen"
A middle-aged yellow hen, who re-
sides with the parsons family and who
has for some weeks past been dealing
in eggs, had chosen as her base of oper-
aiions one corner of the parsons car
riage shed One day last week the her
arrived at that stage of her business
when it was necessary to sit, which she
sirnified by the usual signs.
This was mentioned at breakfast by
the parsons wife who advised that the
hen have chance forthwith. But the
parson wanted that part of the car
riage-shed, and advised that she be sci
in the wood shed. There was no use tC
expostulate with him. He was ''boss
around here and not the hen"
After breakfast he laid off his coat,
took an old axe, and after four hours
chopping and pounding. he succeeded
in converting an old wheelbarrow into
what he supposed to be a nest far super
;or to the one III the CARR geshed.
Then be put in twenty nice white eggs
There, now" said he. Il could sit OF

He then went To get the hen. She
pecked at him savagely. He got the
horse-blanket and threw it over her head

wood-shed, but she did not see the nest

He then brought the hen back, closed
the door, pat her down kindly and flung
some more corn in the direction of the
