woNDRoUs VITALITY OF A CHILD.
EOur-Year-Sld Wandcrs for Five
 Days Without Food or Drink.

Days Without Food or Drink.
 IF.om the British Medical Jou lal.l
 On July IT two children, aged respectively 41E and 5 years, left their homes shortly sf- ter their dinner at l o'clock. They were seen during the afternoon playing together by the side of 6 pond, with shoes and socks
 off their feet, by 8 passing laborer, who shouted to them to leave the water, and it appears that the boys ran away frightened in
 different directions. The eldest boy arrived
 home some hours later op, and stated that
 he had lost his companion, and knew nothing
 as to what had become of him. Search we5
 made about the roads and paths where the
 children had been seen, but to no purpose. The police being ir fol med, large party
 started of in search, some with lanterns and
 some with St. Bernard e1d retriever doss.
 Rain fell nearly fll that night. bat the search
 wes continued night and day for several days.
 It rained heavily ffequently dul .ng this per-
 iod. All hope of fncing the ch. d w?s now
 abandoned.
 However, on the Sunday morning follow-
 ing (July 22) some young men and boys were
 having another look round the fields, when,
 at about 10 A. M., one of them thought he
 hee-d some grooming in field of wheat near
 him, and on going there found the little boy
 sitting on the ground, not vefJ fs- from the
 pathway. He was sitting upon his coat,
 with his little trousers drawn down over his I66G, Au0 Cl Elu2 Oubs t6AObAS1I AAObAOLs am so hungryi" How long he had been in that condition of attire we cannot make out, and he is too young to give much explanation. When found he appeared to be in semi conscious state. and did not know those around him, but aftsr some hours he recog- nized his mother and brothers. With suitas ble treatment the child has completely recoy- cred, without any subsequent illness which might be induced by starvation or exposure to wet and cold for the long period of five days and nights, counting from the dinner hour on Tuesday until 10 A. M. on the Sum- day following.
 During this time, as far as anyone knows, the child had nothing to eat except the heads of growing wheat (which was in very poor condition at that time) He teld me that he had eaten some, and we may presume he sucked water of the wheat and g1ass about him. Curiously enough, the child had out with him small tin box without any Id, ard he states that he tried to catch rain water in it, but could not get any; the wheat being very high probably prevented him doing 10, l and also most likely kept him fairly dry. In appearance the child did not seem much the worse for his prolonged fast, and seemed as plump as any ordinary child; but the mother states that he was an unusually strong and | fat boy Taking all things into censidera. tion-the child's age, no proper food or drink for over IF hours, the exposure to the wet and cold weather prevailing at the time, the misery, and the loneliness it must have endured for so. long 8 per- 1 iod-it seems remarkable that life was prs served.
