A Mania for Eating.

Miss Julia Hepburn, who lives near
North Plains. Conn, has become pos
sessed with mania for eating. She
has to be fed at short intervals, and
anything that is edible she devours
ravenously. Local physicians thought
that she was suffering from nervous
affection of the stomach, and they
suggested that she be forced TO take
food until she became nauseated.
This was tried, but she ate all that
was placed before her without show
ing signs Of distress. y magnetic
healer from New Haven insisted that
hvpnotism would cure her, but his
treatment failed to produce beneficial
results. a physician from Hartford
put the patient on diet OF three
meals a day. She became delirlous
and had to be fed until her voracious
appetite was satisfied. Miss Hepburn
is of religious turn Of mind and lIn-
questionable. She believes that she
is suffering from curse. Some six
weeks ago she turned tramp away
from her fathers house one morning,
refusing to give him food. The tramp
told her that God would curse her.
These words preyed upon the young
woman's mind. She grew moody,
and in very short time the abnor-
NAL appetite came upon her. She has
full control of her senses and is able
to perform household duties.

A Great Head.

There is man in Washington, ID.
c., who has the biggest head In the
world. His name is Lotus Jones
Parker, and his head measures little
more than 80 inches around. The
pirth of the average mans head Is
about 81 inches.
Mr.. Parker is 49 years old, and is a
respected citizen Of the capital. lie
has been business man, with place
on Louisiana avenue, near Seventh
street, but for about twenty years he
has been leading q retired life. He
did not retire upon the Accommodations
OF an active business career, as many
worthy men do, but upon bonus or
subsidy given by three noted pnysl-
clans of Washington, who wanted TO
secure his remarkable head for an
autopsy when he came to shake on
the mortal coil.
That subsidy was begun twenty
wears ago. He was then % years old,
and the enterprising medicine men
thought then that he would not live
much longer. They could not see
how man with SO big head and SO
small body to feed it could hold out
beyond 33 years, the average OF hu-
man life. So the endowment was set
aside for his maintenance, the con
ditions being that he was not perina-
nentlv to leave the District of Column
bia, and that the doctors were 10 have
his body for scientific purposes when
he had no further use for it.

A DastardIy Deed. /.

DIR. WI. Craigen, q practicing ply
sican in Cumberland, Md, has gotten
into a bad scrape. He is county ply
stefan and pension examiner, and
heretofore has been pretty well
thought Of On Monday morning
Frank Latin was walking along the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks,
when he fell into cattle guard, cut
ting a fearful cash in his leg. Friends
carried him to the Office Of DIR. Craig
en-. The doctor examined the wound,
and. after dressing it, put several
stitches in it, and then asked for his
nav, which was 50. The men were
surprised. as they thought, he being
the county physician, there would be
no charges. The doctor said If they
did not pay him he would undo his
work. They insisted they were pen
niless. and the doctor took his lancet
and cut the stitches, thus undoing his
work. DIR. Craigen said that he did
not intend to do that kind of work
for nothing. The facts in the case
came out, but. owing to Craigen's pop
ularity, people we're disposed to take
another view Of it, Finally the whole
town began to talk about the affair.
and Mayor Blackstone determined
an investigation. He had an inter
view with DR.. Craigen and the latter
admitted that he had removed the
stitches in the wound OF the injured
man, giving as his reason that the Zee
of 50 had not been paid. General
Raum, the commissioner OF pensions,
under whom Dr. Craigen holds office
as pension examiner, heard of the
case, and telegraphed Mayor Black
istone for confirmation of the report.
The mayor telegraphed back that DIR.
Craigen had told him of his action,
and why he did it.

A Hard Corner.

The age of 80 is hard corner for a
woman to turn, and % is still harder.
She feels that she is fast leaving her
youth behind her. But there is no
reason why woman should be faded
and passe al 35, or even at 40. The
chief cause of the early fading of
American women is found in the fact
that many of them suffer some form
of female weakness or disease which
robs the face of its bloom, draws dark
circles about the eyes, brings early
wrinkles, sallowness, and stamps the
face and figure with signs of ill-health.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will cure all these troubles, will bring
back the lost bloom, and remove the
pains and ailments which make
women grow old before their time.
