A CASE.

CauterIzing a Young Girls Tonsils Brings
Her Out of u Long Sleep.
For the past five months a girl of IL,
of a good family, has leen lying in a
state of complete lcthargy in a private
hospital at Vcsinet, outside Paris. The
sleeping maiden has recently been re-
stored to consciousness by DR.. Reffe-
geau, who had charge of her, in a
peculiar manner She usually lay
asleep with her mouth wide open and
her throat exposed to view. The
physician noticed that one OF the tom
sis was enlarged, so he resolved to
cautcrize it with a red hot iron, an
operation which would be beneficial
to the patient, even it it did not have
the effect IF terminating her cata-
leptic condition. ..
After the iron had done its work,
the girl, who had been previously in
sensible to the prickling of pins, man
ifestcd unmistalable. signs of pain and
uttered a feeble cry. From that mo-
mcnt she began to return gradually to
consciousness, and at last awoke, say
ing to the nun who was taking care Of
her. "Where am II" The patient had
no recollection or notion of anything
that had taken place during the five
months in which she was asleep, and
manifested the greatest surprise when
told about her extraordinary long
slumber. She is now said to be in IL
normal state Of health, full of spirits,
and eager to make up for her long
silence,

where walters pay for their places,
though the landlords make a separate

regulated and all but Americans know
it. the local tar If being one SOU to the
~franc-one cent in twenty. Nobody
grulnblcs ut this.
The Englishman on his own island,
pays six pence for everything to every
body, and is ~insultcd if he doe ,n't. As
he has to fec walters, porters, clerks,
chambcrmaids. guides, vergers, police
men, dukes. ~barkcepers and casual
citizens. it is no wonder that he has
settled into q confirmed grumbler and
can't stop grumbling all the time he
is away from home.
But in this country it has been get
ting worse than anywhere in Europe.

A DOGS QUEER DIET.
A British Canine Has an Appetite fo
Rare

Mr.. Thomas Morgan of Kentish Town,
England, wondered for q long time why
his garden remained desolate, not
withstanding all the pains and seeds
he lavisl,cd upon it, and WY his
neighbours dog was always so plump
and fat, until he discovered the cause
and effect to be that the animal was
Unfortunately fond Of tulips, hyacinths,
orchids, and other flowers, and was in
the habit of visiting the Horticultural
preserve and eating up all
the blooms he could reach. He did
not care about grass, or lockwood, or
any Of the common sorts, but the mo-
ment he saw Mr.. Morgan plant q
black tulip Or a rare orchid his eyes
sparklcd with the feast in store, and
the moment the plant blossomed he
devoured it, stalk and all. For three
years this went on. The dog was in
katiable. He was a kind Of walking
botanical garden, and still had always
an appetite for more. Mr.. Morgan
dared not kill the dog, because he
might have been hela. liable for its
value, which, of course. would not be
taken at his w appraisement, SO he
sued Mr.. Hall, it's owner, in the
bloomsbury county court, for the
damage done to the garden.

He Brought His All.

The solemn thoughts aroused by the
service in o Maine church a few Sun
days ago were quickly dispelled just
after the benediction. when a crazy
man, who has since been taken to the
Augusta hospital, met the good pastor
at the foot of the pulpit stairs and
producing a good-sized turnip from his
coat pocket passed it. to him, saying:
"Silver and gold. I have none., but
such as l have will l give unto thee"
The pastor. accepted the donation With
