Jenkins. vice-president of the. O., r. &
y. railroad, which made such a, stir at
the spring exhibition at the academy
In 1886. But he had already attained
reasonable success, and had a pretty
wife who was a painter, too-not of
portraits, but of china-that dainty
sort you have seen at the great china
stores, wild roses with the morning
dew on them and blackberry vines in
their autumn colors. Ypu@feit almost
certain you could see:them atira little
in some passing breeze, as you looked
at them.

Hysteria Is Catching.

The silk mills in South Wilkesbarre,
Pa, were the scene OF an unusual and
exciting incident recently. One of the
young women employed there was
taken with an epileptic fit. She fell
to the floor, and the other girls gath
cred around and became most
alarmed and excited. Suddenly one
of them gave a wild shrek and fell
over in violent mysteries. The excite
ment increased and in a minute or so
another young woman was seized
with hysteria. The girls were now
almost wild with nervous excitement
and one after another were seized with
hysteric commissions. The cries and
struggles as they lay quivering on the
floor combined to make the scene an
extraordinary and alarming one. Six
teen of the girls were thus FRUSTRATED.
Medical aid was summoned and the
girls we're revived and sent home.
