ASLEEP FOR NINE YEARS.
A Young Woman Who Dozed off in 1883
Still Sleeping.

A Young Woman Who Dozed off in 1883
Still Sleeping.
remarkable case of suspended ami
nation, of scientific interest, is referred
to in a recent issue of the EngZis Me-
chanjc. The sleeper is a young woman
named Marguerite Boyenval, of the vii
lage of Thenelles, in France, who fell
into a cataleptic condition on May 30,
1888, since which day she has never
shown the slightest sign of returning
consciousness. When the actual ma
ture of this profound sleep was realized
by her medical attendants from the
non success which attended all efforts
to awaken the young woman, atten-
ton was given to sustaining life. AS
the jaws were rigidly fixed, it was
found to be impossible to introduce
food into the stomach, and injections
Of nOurishment were resorted to.
During these nine years she has been
free from all cares of life, without mo,
ton or thought, consequently there has
been no apparent waste of muscular or
nervous tissue. The hand of time
seems to have spared this unconscious
sleeper, no change has taken place in
her countenance, she appears no older
to day than when she fell asleep nine
years ago at the age of 25. During this
time the growth of hair and nails has
completely ceased; the joints have be-
come quite stiff through disuse to such
extent that the arms, if raised, will
remain in that position for an indef-
mite period.
The eyes are turned upward, so that
the pupils are almost entirely out of
sight on opening the eyelids. The lips,
when moved apart seem to lack the
elasticity necessary to return sponta-
neously to their original position.

AN IRISH LETTER.

The following characteristic Irish let
ter was written from Tullymucklesch-
rag, Parish of ~Ballyragget, lee Ball
schlughguttery, in the county of Kill
keny in Ireland and directed to Larry
O'Hooligan in America
My Dear Nephew Il haven't sent
you a letther since the last time I wrote
you, bekase we moved from our form
er place of living and consequently l
couldn't tell you where a letter would
find you. But [ now, with pleasure,
take up my pen to inform you of the
deathof yourownliving uncle Kilpath-
ric, who died very suddenly last week
afther a lingering illness of SIX months.
The poor man vas in violent convul-
sions during the whole time of his sick
ness, lying perfectly quiet and spach-
less, all the time talking inc~oherently,
and calling for wather. I had no time
to inform you of his death sooner, ex-
cept I had wrote to you by the last
post, which went off ten days before he
died, and then you'd had postage to
pay. am at a loss to tell wha5 his
death was occasioned by, but I fear it
was his last sickness, for he was never
we'll ten days togither~during the whole
time of his confinement. and 1 believe
his death was OccasiOned by his aiting
too much rabbits schtuffed with pays
and gravy-Or pays and gravy echtuff-
ed with rabbits-I can't tell which.
But be that as it may, as 1901 as he
brathed his last the dockthers gave up
all hopes ofhis recovery. I can't tell
you anything about his age, for you
well know thati in March next he'd have
been 25 years ould, lacking ten months,
and had he lived till that time, he'd
been just six months dead. His prop
erty now revolves to his next of kin,
who all died some months ago, so that
[ expect it will be divided between us,
and you know his was something very
considerable, for he had a fine estate
that was sould to pay his debts, and
the remainder he lost in a horse race,
but it was the opinion of every one at
the time that he would have wun if the
horse he ran against hadn't been too
fast for him. never saw a man, and
the dockthers all say so, that observed
directions or took medicine better than
he did. He'd as lave take alloes as
sugar candy, if it had the same taste,
and ippcacuhana as whiskey punch,
if it would only put him in the same
humOur for fghtin'. But poor soul, he
will never ate or drink more, and you
haven't a living relation left in the
wide world, except myself aud your
two cousins, who we're kilt in the last
war, can't dwell on this mournful
subject, and I shall sale my letter
with black salinwax and put on it your
uncles coat of arms, so I beg you not to
break the sale whin you opin this let
Their, and don't opin it till three or four
days afther you've received it, by
which time you will be prepared for
the sorrowful tidings. Your sweet
heart, Judy MCGEE, sends you her love
unknOwnst to me. When Pat Finne
gan arrives in America ak him for this
letter, and if he doesn't know it from
the rest, tell him it's the one that speaks
about your uncle's death and sailed in
black. I remain your affectionate
grandmother, ID

of graham flour. milk enough to make
a stiff batter. Mix, and let it rise over
night. In the morning, fill the mffin
rings half full, and bake in a quick
oven.
ROLLS
Into a pint of milk put two table
spoonfuls of butter. Let it come to
the boiling point. Dissolve a cake of
compressed yeast in a coffee-cup half
full Of cold water. Sift two quarts of

vanilla bean. Pound the bean in a
mortar until it is completely pulver-

and the sugar very gradually, then
stir in the vanilla. Drop the mixture
on white paper so as not to touch each
other. You may make them any size
you choose. About a dessertspoonfuI
makes a pretty sized cake. Take care
to have them sufficiently far apart.
Place them on tins with several thick

them in a hot oven, and as soon as
they have a tinge of brown take them
out, with a broad bladed knife slip
them off the paper, and place the

Heirs Apparent and Presumptive.

There seems to be good deal of con-
fusion in the minds of the public and
the press as to what constitutes the diff
ference between an ''heir presumptive"
and an "heir apparent" and one gentle
man who has been informed that there
is no "heir presumptive" to the throne
at the present time, writes to inquire
of me whether Prince George of Wales
is not entitled to that designation.
should say certainly not. In point OF
law, the heir is the party who succeeds
to an estate or dignity by the demise
of the previous holder; and man can
only have during his life an "heir ap
parent" or an "heir persumptive."
The Prince of Wales is now the he'll
apparent to the throne, and while he
lives there can be no other heir. Prince
George is the heir apparent to the
princedom of Wales, and he is not heil
to the throne at all, except in the loose
and inaccurate sense in which all per
sons who may by any possibility be-
come entitled are spoken Of as "heirs."
The difference between an heir ap
parent and an heir presumptive is that
the heir apparent must succeed if he
survives the present holder of the dig
nifty; while an heir presumptive, al
though the heir at the moment, is liable
to have his right to the succession de
feated by the birth of another heir
There cannot, therefore. be at the same
time an heir apparent and an heir pre-
syImptive. Should the Prince of Wales
succeed to the throne, Prince George, Il
then living, will become the heir ap
parent to the throne. Should Prince
George succeed TO the throne before he
has children the Duchess of Fife would
be the heir presumptive, her right T.
the succession being always liable to b
defeated by the birth of direct heir to |
her brother.-Henry Lsbouchere in Lon
don Truth.

Woman and Civilization.

Its gentle supremacy became the conquer

Civilization has gone forward or back

ton of woman. So far as her influence
has been felt and favorably exerted there
has been great progress. When she has
been suffered to remain in ignorance ana

the race has relapsed into inertia and bar

The SanYaSis of India

Popular belief in India still credits
Sanyasis and other holy vagabonds with
miraculous powers. Even the native
journals often chronicle marvels like the
instantaneous cure of incurable diseases,
or the feeding of thousands out of a
small measure Of rice. One of these
prints gives description of how saint
ly Sanyasi saved the lives OF a certain
rajah and his escort from a wild ele-
plant. As the party was proceeding
through the Lower Himalayas a mon
strous tusker broke out of the Jungle
and set to trumpeting. The rajah and
his followers were considerably scared.
and were giving themselves up for lost
when noble looking Sanyasis appeared,
and, standing in front of the travellers,
told them to shout certain order to the
elephant. This done, the animal bolted
into the jungle, while the savior of the
rajah and his party vanished without
waiting to be thanked. philadelphia

An Astonished but Considerable Prince.


One of the leading families in Stuff
CART gave q supper party to which the
prince royal had been invited. His
royal highness arrived little before all
the preparations for the feast were COM
pleted. Observing that he had arrived
little too soon, fse decided TO take a
short stroll in front of the house while
daylight was fading into dark. Sud-
denly trim servant maid bounded out
of the house and ran up to the prince, to
whom she handed parcel containing,
as it afterward turned out, large piece
of sausage and some money. and ex-
claimed under her breath:
"You won't have to come today; we're
having large party; the prince him
self is coming; so goodby till tomor-
row" and with that she gave his royal
highness couple of hearty kisses and
disappeared before he had time to get a
word out.
A moment later he perceived a SOL
der in his cloak, who was casting visit
full chances at the lighted windows Of
the house, and asked him if his sweet
heart lived there, and on the mans re-
plying in the affirmative the prince con-
tinued:
''Then this parcel must be intended
for you. The person who brought it
sends you word that you are 10 come to-
morrow, for she has no time today on
account of the party"
"Much obliged, it's all right, I'll come
tomorrow" said the soldier.
"She gave me something besides"
the prince went on to say, "but can't
deliver you that"
"Oh, you may keep it and welcome"
rejoined the soldier. 1--WE plenty here
for today"
Everybody at the party noticed that
his highness was more lively and good
humored than usual He narrated his
adventure over the cigars and wine, but
exacted a promise that neither the serv.
ant girl nor the soldier should suffer in
consequence Of the disclosure.-Leeds
