A TREE IN HIS STOMACH.
What Came From Swallowing q
Lemon seed.

A strange case is puzzling medical
practitioners of Thrimble, Tenn. John
Henry Leake, n stalwart negro, living
on the plantation of II. L. Strong. u
week or two since ate Il lemon and
swallowed n of the seeds, which. 1t
seems, lodged IN his stomach, and, at
tracting to 1t Il certain proportion of
the food subsequently eaten by him,
was soon surrounded by a clot or mass
of matter which gradually grew larger.
After a short time Leake began to
suffer with acute pains in the region
Of his stomach, and applied to a ply
stefan, who diagnosed his trouble as
Indigestion and proceeded to treat him
for 1t.
But the pains increased and 1t soon
became a matter of impOssibility for
the sufferer to retain any food, except
such as was administered in a liquid
form. and the doctor began to suspect
that the aus Of the trouble lay be-
yond the ordinary phases of indigestion,
and declared an operation necessary.
1t was With difficulty that Leake was
prevailed on to submit to this, but he
finally consented.
The surgeons thoroughly explored the
abdomen and intestincs. but without
finding any disturbing object. though it
was observed that the stomach was dis

Leake finally died in great agony.
with repeated efforts to vomit, which
continued until death ensued. A post

that the seed had sprouted from the
mass surrounding it. and. putting out
shoots, had actually attacked the wallis
of the stomach as a creeping plant does

A Frightful Tale of superstition In
Far Away Florence.
Scarcely a day now passes without
some new shocking story of supersti-
ton. The worst one recently has come
from the suburbs of Florence. where
lives a peasant whose daughter suffers
from violent attacks Of hysteria. says
the New York Sun. Saying masses
proving Of no avail. the priest told the
father that the only cure was at the
hands of some II having power to ex-
orcise evil spirits. and sent him to q
famous %sorcercss in a nearby village.
The father and daughter paid the old
woman what she demanded. Her house
was dark, and the sorceress told her
guests to follow her and kneel in every
room they entered. The bowling that
went on i'll every room was dreadful.
The peasant and his daughter were
filed with confidence.

With this advice the pair went home.
and the parent kindled the fire as di.
racted. The fire was kept up the whole
night, but no one knocked. At break
Of day a knock was heard.
WHO is there?" asked the peasant.
For heavens sake give me a piece
of bread" said the voice without.
The peasant opened u door and saw
n poor old woman. He caught her up
in his arms and placed her in the oven.
The cries Of the poor creature were
dreadful. Fortunately, some milkmen
happened to be passing and burst open
the door, when the woman, more dead
than alive. was taken out of the huge
oven. The actors in this drama are In

RIOT IN BOMBAY.
Fury Of Religious Hatred Beyond
Military Control.

The religious race rioting was resumed in
Bombay, India, and for several hours the
streets were the scenes of desperate conflicts.
The fighting was Of the most sanguinary ma
ture, and large number of persons were
killed and wounded.
The day being Hindoo holiday the au.
thOrities anticipated renewal of the re-
cent disturbances, and were in a measure
prepared to suppress an outbreak; but the
police and the force Of troops in the garrison
were inadequate to cover the whole city, and
before quiet had been restored in one district
fresh outbreaks would occur in other parts
OF the city.
The rage Of the Hindoos was directed
especially against the mosques, several of
which were sacked and burned. All the pub
lie buildings are now guarded by troops, and
the gunbOats in the harbor have been cleared
for action and brought into position to cover
the native quarters. The local authorities
are confident of being able ultimately to quell
the rising. Europeans sought protection in
the public buildings under military guard.
