MANIA FOR EATING.
Curious Affection of Woman Who
Thinks She Is Suffering from Il Curse.

CurfOus AnlcttOn OF Woman WHO
Thinks She Is Suffering from Curse.
Miss Julia Hepburn. who lives near North
Plains. Conn, has a mania for eating. She
has to be fed at short intervals and any
thing that IS edible she devours ravenously.
Local physicians thought that she was suf
fering from 4 nervous affection of the
stomach, and they suggested that she be
forced to take food until she be ,ame nau-
seated. This was tried, but she ate all that
was placed before her without showing
signs of distress. A physician put the pa
ticnt on Diet OF three meals a day. She
became deiiriOus and had to be fed until
her vorac:ous appetite was satisfied.

Saloonkeepers In Ohio Town Get
Around Ordinance Easily.
The Hon. Mills Gardner. ex- Congress-
man, OF Washington Court House, Ohio,
was elected to the Council and introduced
an ordinance which passed, compelling
loonists to take down everything between
the windows and the interior OF the sa-
looms. The saloonists took down their
screens in compliance with the ordinance,
and then 10, they went outside and painted
the windows black. This knocks the effect
of the ordinance in the head, as the screens
made are on the outside OF the saloon, and
the laugh is on Gardner.

A remarkable freak of nature is found
among the hills Of Delaware County,
New York, in a sunken lake covering
about three acres of surface. which lies

covered with thick growth Of moss
whose stems extend to an unknown
depth. but certainly further than the
arm can reach. Each tuft of the moss
is of a different color from his ncighbor,
