ASLEEP FOR shVEN YEARS.
n Curious Afiiiction Which Fol.
lowed AN Attnck of Eever.

a Utica (Minn.) telegram says: Her
man Haines has slept almost continually
FOR seven years. He has been treated in
n dozen different ways, but no one has
been able to break his protracted SUM
Der. Powerful electric batteries have
been applied to his body, the only effect
being q contraction of the muscles.
Halnes is now forty-nine years old, and
ten years ago was a prosperous farmer in
st. Clair county, Ill. At that time he
was halo and hearty, his weight being
$50 pounds.
In 1877 he was stricken with fever and
aeue, and in the spring of 1880 moved
to st. Charles, Winona county, whence
he was brought to Utica. A few months
after his arrival in this State he fell
asleep, and he has lived in this strange
condition for more han seven years.
In the summer of 1884 he awokc one
morning, arose from his bed, put on his
clothes, and won't about his work. When
told that he had slumbercd four years
he grew Indignant and would not believe
that he had slept more than IA night nm

long black hair and beard and sunken
cheeks aud eyes. For a month his

through the night, and arose with the
lark.
In August, 1884, his wife became very
ill, and Haines was obliged to deprive
himself of needed rest. One night, while
taking her a cup OF tea, he suddenly fell
asleep, dropped the cup, sank to the
floor, and had to be taken TO his bed,
from which he has never since risen.
He lies on his back, breathes naturally,
and suffers little pain; but is wasting
away. His weight is now less than
ninety pounds, and he is no longer able
to move himself in bed.
About IL O'Clock every evening he
awakes for five or six minutes, during
which time he is hurriedly given q soft
boiled egg, q little soup, and q swallow
or two of coffee, his only daily nourish-
ment. He is extremely nervous during
his brief waking intervals, but his con-
versation indicates that his mind is not
~beclouded. No medicine has passed his
lips for two years. His children are
bright and healthy.

THEw0MAN's WORLD FOR JUNE.

The opening article in the WomGu's

preted not to be for the entertainment of
the rich and great but for the occasional
entertainment of the working people, who
are unfamiliar with tasteful homes. and
to whom a compliment of this sort is
never to be forgotten pleasure. The "Rec-
ords Of Fallen Dynasty" by Violet Fame
follows this, and gives some interesting
anecdotes in connection with Prince
Charles Edward Stuart. This paper Is
fully illustrated from old paintings, and
portrait of Prince Charles disguised as
"Betty Burke" forms the frOntispiece of
the number. An article called Some
thing About Needle Women" not the
needle women who lOll back in easy chairs
and work cOnventiOnalized flowers in

shirts and other articles of clothing. An
interesting paper on ''M0deTn Greek PQz

tant of them. "St George the Chevalier,"
is a contribution from the pen of the late
DR.. Anna KingsfOrd, and is followed bya
paper on ''Sm0cking," which is the name
given in England to certain kind CO
