ASLEEP FOR YEARS.
a Young Woman Who Dozed on in 1888
still Sleeping.

v Young Woman Who Dozed on i'm 1888
Still Sleeping.
A remarkable case OF suspended
animation of scientific interest is re-
ferred to in a recent issue of the Eng
lish Mechanic. The sleeper is a
young woman named Marguerite
BoyenvaL of the village OF Thonelles.
in France, who fell into cataleptic
condition GA May 20. 1888. since
which day she has never shown the
slightest sign OF returning conscious
ness. When the actual nature OF this
profound sleep was realized by her
success which attended all efforts to
awaken the young woman. attention
was given TO sustaining lie. As the
jaws were rigidly fixed. it was found
to be impossible to introduce food into
tho stomach, and injections of nour-
ishment were resorted to-
During these years she has been
free from all cares of life without
thought or motion. consequently there
has been no apparent waste OF muscu-
lar or nervous tissue. The hand of
time seems to have spared this uncon-
scious sleeper no change has taken
place In her countenance. she appears
no elder day than when she fell
asleep years ago at the age of %.
During this time the growth OF her
hair and nails has completely ceased;
the joints have become quite stiff
through disuse, to such an extent that
the arms II raised. will remain in
that position for an indefinite period.
The eyes are turned upward. so
that the pupils are almost entirely out
OF sight on opening the eyelids The
lips vixen moved apart seem TO lack
the elasticity necessary to return
spontaneously 10 their original posi-
ton.

In this melancholy way he seeks to
cheer her; but Dulcinea is beyond see

her cousin in horror-stricken way.

Can be counted on
to cure Catarrh -Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's nothing new. For
% years it has been doing that very
thing. 1t gives prompt and COM
plete relief but you want moro
than that. And you get it, with
this Remedy-there's a cure that
is perfect and permanent. The
worst chronic cases, no matter of
how long standing, yield to its
mild, soothing, cleansing and heal
ing properties. "Cold in the Head "
needs but few applications. Ca
tarrhal Headache, and all the
troubles that come from Catarrh,
are at once relieved and cured.
You can count on something else,
too-$5O0 in cash.
You can count on it, but it's
more than doubtful whether you
earn it.
The proprietors of DR.. Sage's
Remedy, in good faith, offer that
amount for an incurable case of
Catarrh. Don't think that you
have one, though.
They'll pay you, if they can't
cure you. That's certain.
But they can cure you. That's
Just about as certain, too.

The American Citizen Might BE Scared,

Some years ago. when Sir Charles
Smith was travelling by special train
in Dakota, he told his private secre-
tary to instruct the conductor that he
should not say Mr.. Smith" but Sir
Charles in speaking to so great a
man. Next time the conductor came
round he said: We'll, sir-Charles
the next station is Glyndon." And
always thereafter he continued to use
the same form, We'll, sir-Charles. "
Last year. when Sir James HON.

JENNIE's SECRET.

Jennie has a secret
She is 10th to tell,
Even to the mother
Whom she loves so we'll.
IT'S not shame that kindles
Roses on her cheek;
'Tis Of JOY the deepest
Jennie dare not speak.
Jennie's step is lighter,
Jennie's songs more sweet;
And the goodnight kisses
She will oft repeat.
BY these many tokens
She cannot repress,
Jennie's precious secret
Mother'n surely guess.
Mother eyes arc watchful
As these signs appear;
Mother love is faithful,
Unto one so dear.
AL these sweet dissemblings,
All this pretty show,
Seems pretty story
Written long ago.
'TwiXt her heart and Jennie's
Love has brought eclipse.
Mother feels, however
Silent are her lips.
Tell-tale bushes fitting
Over brow and cheek,
Whisper Jennie's secret,
Though she does not speak.
