DEAD ALMOST A MONTH,
Little Girl Put in Her Coffin Returns to
Life


Life.
NORTH HoPE, March pa very peculiar
case Of suspended animation and abstinence
from food for period of twenty-eight days
in Marion township this county, is exciting
great interest. A little daughter Of Joseph
Renrer was taken suddenly sick with collie,
ard the pain was so severe that she went
into spasms. The father went after doc
ter, but the child was to all appearances
dead before the physician arrived. The
heart had ceased to beat, the pulse was ex-
tirc and respiration had ceased.
1t was noticed however, in two or three
iturs after the child died that the skin did
not take on that peculiar palor noticeable
on most dead people. The child looked as
though she we're sleeping though the doctor
pronounced her dead. The body WAS kept
for two days and duriug that time the skin
retained a natural calor, but no other signs
If vitality were manifested. Then the
friends commenced discussing the propriety
of burying her. While the discussion was
going on some one went into the room
Wtere the child was lying, and after looking
at the corpse for moment put his fingers
on the pulse and was surprised to feel a
Guttering. The pulse beat slowly,
but it indicated that life WAS there and
means were at once used to fan the vital
spark into fame. The doctor was again
called and restoratives applied. Although
respiration returned and the action Of the
heart increased, pet consciousness did not
return 10 the girl and all efforts TO restore
her were fruitless. She remained in thia
state of torpidity for twenty.six days,
On the evening of the twenty-sixth day
she opened her eyes and feebly asked fos q
drink of water. From that time on she
rapidly gained strength and is now able
to go about. From the time she took sick
until the day she regained consciousness
was twenty eight DAYS and during that time
she partook of no food. Whenever an at
tempt was made to open her mouth the
muscles controlling her jaws became rigid
and her mouth could not be opened.

The cautious Sultan.

LONDON, March 2g.-Recent meetings of
Musurus Pasha, Hasssn Fehmi Pasha and
Earl Graville were in connection with the
Egyptian financial convention. The Turk
ish government was reluctant to sign the
convention, thinking it implied recogni,
ton Of the bombardment of Alexandria and
highlands subsequent action in Egypt
which were considered as opposed
TO the Sultan's suzerain rights aud
likely to produce bad impression on Mus
selmans. 1t is reported that Granville
threatened to give Musurus and Tehmi
their passports and break of diplomatic re-
la,ions with Turkey, unless the Sultan
signed the frman for loan Of nine mil.
lion pounds. The Sultan, it is said, agreed
10 issue the frman, still refusing, however,
10 sign the convention, but he afterward
called a council of notables and fuslly de-
cided to sign the convention, with certain
reservations which Granville accepted.

Oh, l stand at the Gate Of Tears through
which many of your loved ones have gone
through those straits into the great ocean
stretching out beyond The sound that
comes tom that other shote on still nights
when We are wrapped in prayer makes me
think that the departed are not dead. We
are dead-we who toll; we who weep; We
who sins We are the dead. How my heart
aches for human sorrow? This sound OF
breaking hearts that hear all about me!
This last look of faces that never will
