A VERY SMALL sOMNAM BULsT.
The Extraordinary Perform ance of
a Child Not Much More Than Baby.
81 Louis GIobe Demoerat.

A most thrilling midnight adven-
ture took place last night on the
night Rock Island passenger train Just
before reaching Joliet, in which lit
tie four-year-old girl III a state of
somnambulism was the central figure.
Mrs. Wesley Simmons, of Fairbury,
Neb, accompanied by her two little
daughters, Mabel and Grace, the
former six and the latter four years
old, were on the train en- route to
Joliet to spend New Years with re-
latives. They had retired to their
berth in the sleeping car on leaving
home and were soon asleep. Shortly
after midnight the mother awoke and
was horror-stricken to find that little
Grace was missing. Wild with fears
of possible calamity, the frightened
mother alarmed the rest of the pas
sengers, who kindly aided in search
ing the car, but the most faithful
search failed TO discover the missing
girl. She was not in the car. just
as hope sank in the heartof the grief
stricken mother the conductor enter
ed the car. The train was within a
lew LnilCo vi biC Gnu VI bllCil IOHihcg
Little Grace was clinging' to one of
his arms and crying pitifully. The
mother clasped the child to her bosom
and then tainted with joy.
In her sleep little Grace had got
up and gone out of the car door,
crossed into the next and on into the
third car, when the conductor met
her. He asked her where she was
going. Receiving no reply, the fact
dawned upon him that she was asleep.
He caught her by the and woke
her up, when she gazeds about in
establishment, inquired for her mother
and began to cry. How the little
sleeper crossed over the slippery plat
forms without falling bqtwe en- the
cars Is mystery.

Why Children Should Eat Honey.

Thousands and tens of thousands of
children are dying all around us,
who, because their ever-developing
nature demands sweetness, crave and
eagerly demolish the adulterated
candies" and ''syrups" of modern
times. If these could be fed on hon
ely instead, they would develop and
grow up into healthy men and wo-
men.
Children would rather eat bread
and honey than bread and butter.
One pound of honey will reach as far
as two pounds of butter, and has, be-
sides, the advantage of being far
more healthy and pleasant-tasted, and
always remains good, while butter
soon becomes rancid, and often pro-
duces cramps in the stomach, eructa-
tons, sourness, vomiting aud diar-
rhea. Pure honey should always be
freely used in every family. Honey
eaten upon wheat bread is very bene-
fetal to health.
The use of honey instead of sugar
for almost every kind of cooking is as
pleasant for the palate as it is healthy
for the stomach. In preparing black
berry, raspberry, or strawberry short
cake it IS infinitely superior.
1t IS a common expression that hon
ey is luxury, having nothing to do
with the life-giving principle. This
is an error-honey is food in one of
its most concentrated forms. True, it
does not add so much to the growth of
muscles as does bcefstake, but it does
impart other properties no less neces-
sary TO health and vigorous physical
and intellectual action. 1t gives
warmth to the system, arouses ner-
yous energy, and gives vigor to all
the vital functions. To the laborer it
gives strength, to the business man
mental force. Its effects are not like
ordinary stimulants, such as spirits,
etc, but it produces a healthy action,
the results of which are plain and per-
manent-a sweet disposition and
bright intellect.

Mrs. Tiff went to Europe, and, dur
ing her long tour, the Singer re-
representatives. in every great center
were instructed by the home company
to seek her out and to do everything
in their power to entertain her during
her stay there.
These are but the skeleton facts in
the romantic life of the once poor

A Remarkable Cases
Philadelphia Special

The case of Patrick Whalen, who
died Saturday evening, was one of the
most remarkable in the history of
hospital surgery A month ago he
was found wandering in the park
with his thro at cut literally from ear
to ear, and when the wound was open.
ed the roof of the mouth was exposed
to view, as was also the gullet The
efforts of the surgeons were first
directed to restoring as far as possible
a sufficient measure of vitality. The
patient was placed in a room by him
self, heated by coil of steam pipes.
A let of this steam was directed into a
jar containing medicated air and
vapors, and by this means the patient
was afforded proper temperature, and
at the same time the lungs were re
lieved of deposits of matter from the
wound Friday he became uncon-
sciouS and remained 50 unit the last
At the time of his death the wound
had partly closed and was in fine

Personnel Of Congress.

The following curious facts from
the Congressional Directory" are pub
lished by the Evening Star:
OF the twenty-six senators who
were sworn in at the beglnningof the
present session only twelve are new
to that body. The other fourteen were
simply continued in the senatorial
harness by reelection. Mr. Morrill,
remains the patriarch of the senate,
though his colleague, Mr.. Edmunds,
looks older, and is invariably taken
for the Oldest member of the
body. Mr. Kenna of West Virginia
is the junior member, and is, perhaps,
the youngest man who ever attained
the dignified and exalted position of
senator. When elected he was not
thirty-five years of age. Senator
Anthony ranks all others in point of
service, having now entered upon his
fifth term. Senator Edmunds has been
reelected three times, and Messrs.
Bayard, Saulsbery, Ransom and Nor
rill have each been twice re- elected.
Kentucky furnishes more sons to
the present senate than any other
state. Eight native Kentuckians are
now members of that body. Ohio
comes next, with seven, while New
York has six. Georgia, Tennessee,
Virginia and Pennsylvania each have
four. Maine, Maryland, New Hamp-
shire, New York, North Car lima,
Ohio, pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont
and Virginia have native sons in the
senate. Three natives of Ireland
(Messrs. Jones of Florida, Fair and
SewelD, one of Scotland Beck, and
one of England Jones of Nevada)
are senators. Ohio furnishes two sena-
tors for Indiana and two for Iowa. The
four gentlemen representing those
states have been born in the Buckeve
State.
The house of representatives con
tains twenty adopted citizens. Messrs.
Fnerty, Cullom, Lowry, Collins, Nc
AdoO, Barr, Davis, of Massachusetts,,
and Robinson of New York were
were born in Ireland; Messrs. Morse,
Breitung, Muller, Deuster and Guen-
ther are German; Crisp and Spriggs
are English born. Hardy, Buchanan
and Henderson first saw the light in
Scotland. Mr. Nelson is a Norwegian,
and Stephenson was born in New
Brunswick. The Oldest member of the
house is Mr.. Wait of Connecticut; the
youngest member is Mr.. Post of
Pennsylvania. The only native of
Washington in congress is Mr.. Gil
bert M. Woodward of Wisconsin,
who was born in this city in 1885.
The States of Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Maryland Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont
send solid delegations, senators and
representatives, of native born citi-
zens. In the house there are thirty
five native sons Of New York, thirty
eight of Pennsylvania, thirty-one of
Ohio, and next come Kentucky and
Virginia with seventeen each; Massa-
csusetts and Tennessee next, with Is
each North Carolina next, with 10.
Of the Arkansas delegation in both
houses, only a single member was
born in the state. Only two of the
entire Mississippi delegation are ma
tiyes of that state, but she get, even
by having sons in the Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, and California delegations. OF
the 401 members of congress, 267 are
lawyers, though several of this mum
Der have practically abandoned the
law for other pursuits

The Cave of the Hundred Skeletons.
From The Portland Orgonlau.


Cave City is in the eastern part of
Calaveras county, Cal. 1t once con
tanned 1000 inhabitants, but on the
failure of the gravel mines the pop
ulation diminished, as in other mining
towns, till at present the city" con
sisted of a hotel, a saloon and hay
stack. A few of the curiosities Of
early times still remain in the place
One ofthese is the graveyard on the
hillside above the town. 1t contains
sixteen graves, fifteen of them filled
by men who died with their boots on
between 80 and '56. The cave extends
into the mountain side about three
hundred feet and contains over one
hundred human skeletons. The In
dams have no traditions of how the
skeletons were put there, but | think
that l. was an old Indian camp, and
that in time of war the unfortunate
wretches were shut up in the cavern
and persisted for want of food and
water.

ton. But the real sufferers from the
torpid action of the company's treas
urer are the men. who would have en-
dured great hardships if they had not
been succored by the officer mt Fort
Maginnis issuing ratiOns to them as has
been reported IN the THE JOURNAL at
various times.
CONDITION OF THE CAMP y WORK.
At one time some sixty-five men
weresemployed by the Collar company,
but ut the time it closed down there
we're but thirty in service. some OF
these men were paid in checks on st.
Paul. which were promptly returned
duly protested. Others were paid in
time checks on which the men can real
ize nothing.
These men are all in a dangerous
condition Of disquietude and would
temper the atmosphere to any lamb of
Il stakeholder who would venture III
this camp without the cash to take up
these checks. The men who control
the Collar mine are amply able to meet
their obligations, and if they haven't
enough business pride to maintain their
credit, they may suffer an application
of legal process which they will respect.
The men at the mines should at least
be provided for and that quickly.
In reference to the last paragraph
of the above we will say it is greatly to
the credit Of the men lately in the en-
ploy of the Collar Co., that they have
shown no disposition to do violence, by
word or deed, Notwithstanding the great
p%rovocation thrust upon them at the
Threshold of Il severe winter when
neither labor nor money was to be
had. Still, we hardly think the men
would 90 out to met the Collar treas
urer with Il brass band unless they
were sure he had the ducats with him
to liquidate their claims.

THE COLLAR COMPANY.

From the Minneapolis Evening Jour
nal of March Sth, we clip the following
in relation to the Collar Company:
ST. PAUL, March Sth. Paul McCor-
mick, a historical character i'm the
Yellowstone country. came in on last
evenings Northern Pacific train from
the west. He had blood in his eye and
appeared to be looking for the myth
known as the Collar Mining company.
He has collared all of the available as
sets that came his way, but his insatiate
claim has not yet been satisfied nor will
it be until II complete adjustment has
been made. Although Paul was reticent
and wild horses could not drag the in
side facts from him, THE JOURNAL
learned that his claim is $4,000, part of
which has been satisfied by the sale Of
some Of the company's property, which
he attached as reported in The JOURNAL
from Junction City by wire recently.
OTHER CLAIMS.
Col. Broadwater, of Helena, is also IA
familiar figure about the hotel lobby.
His claim aggregates some $4,000, and
he wants it now. L. G. Powers holds
claims amounting t $1,000. and he
wouldn't object TO having it liquidated,

anxious expectancy. The machinery

mining Review
Nineteen British metal mines paid
dividends in 1883, amounting to &II5,
o88.
Gypsum has been discovered at
many points in California, Arizona,
and Nevada.
The production of quicksilver for
1883 was 46,725 TASKS, or 6,oO7 TASKS
less than in 1882.
1t is thought that fully $500, 1000, 900
has been produced by hydraulic pro

The production of lead in the United
States, from 1925 to 1882 inclusive,
vas I,589,58o tons.
The Bassick Mining Company, of
Colorado, has declared a dividend of
100000 payable March 5th.
Important discoveries of silver, gold,
and copper have been made in Can.
ada. in the Rabbit Mountain region.
From Spain it is reported that there
is quite a excitement over the dis

In the lead productions of different
countries, Spain still holds the first
rank, the amount reaching some 100,
