ASLEEP ELEVEN YEARS.

A Girl Frightened Into Slumber
From Which h Has Never Awak-
ened.. % @9Er g.
There is a girl named Marguerite
~Bouyenval, at Thenelles, in the north
Of France, near Saint Quentin, who is
reported to have been asleep for the
past eleven years. A good deal Of
doubt has been thrown on the phenom-
email ~slumbering case, not only in Paris
but also inThenelles and it's vicinity,
| where there are two camps one Of
the believers and the other of those
who maintain that the so-called sleep
ing beauty rises at night and has a
good supper. The matter has been in
vestigated by q Partisan, who has seen
the girl ard found her as lean as a
skeleton, and as stiff as a corpse, but still
living. Her mother injects milk, pep
tone, and sometimes wine through a
broken tooth In the girls mouth. y
Marguerite Rouyenval made away:
with alb abyeleven years ago, and the
gendarmes were sent to the house. The
girl was SO frightened at their APP
proach that she had an attack of hys-
terra, which lasted several hours, and
at tho end of which she fell into a
trance. The doubts thrown on the con-
tinuation of the trance have evidently
been caused by the fact that the
mother Of the sleeping girl has made
a god deal Of money by exhibiting her.
A local doctor who has observed the
ease during the eleven, years, informed
the investigator from Paris that Mar
guesite Bouyenval had really been
asleep dtring the whole tftne.>s' Occa.,
sional]y she has bysterical cries, but
did not awake after them. Other doc
tors have also agreed al to the genuine
ness Of the phenomenon, and the sleep
ing girl Of Tlene1les remains a human
mystery.-Paris Letter to London Tele-

From the manner in which the New

obtained through the simple applica-
ton Of every particle Of motive power,
and the man VINO is speediest is the
one who uses his strength best. When
a skater strikes out with his foot he
does not obtain his momentum from
the broadside pressure of the skate on
the ice, but gets it rather from the
gradual and tapering pressure, which
commences at the heel Of the skate,
where the strongest force is applied.
The momentum once produced the in

steadily and firmly extended outward

Egg Plant.

No seed Is more difficult to vegetate
than the egg plant; it always requires
the strongest heat. For early use sow
in a hot-bed early in spring; after SOW
ing, give them a good watering and
keep the frame closed until the plants
appear, then admit fresh air in fine
weather; cover the frame at night with
mats to protect against frost; after the
plants attain two or three inches they
should be transplanted into another
frame three inches apart in order to
make strong plants before it is time
for planting out; it is a very good plan
to put them singly in small flower
pots and place them in a frame where
they will become thoroughly estab-
lished and ready for setting out as
soon as all cold weather is over, after
which they can be planted from the
pots without disturbing the roots; plant
them in rows twenty inches apart and
two feet from row to row; they lux
uriate in rich, loamy soil. The egg
plant Is a very important and remu-
nerative crop for the market gardener,
and especially so for those who grow
them for shipping.

Collecting Eggs in Cold Weathe

Collecting Eggs in Cold Weather.
When an egg is exposed to severe
cold it is quickly injured. The con.
tents expand and the egg cracks open,
which renders it useless except to be
quickly used upon the table, as such
eggs can not be sold. Even if the egg
does not crack, the extreme cold de-
stroys the germ, and if it is used for in
cubating purposes it will not hatch.
Then, again, when an egg has been
frozen and then exposed to a higher
temperature until it thaws, it will be
no longer fresh as decomposition
quickly begins. In winter always col
lect the eggs often, 10 as to avoid
freezing them.
