SENSATIONS OF STARVING.
Observations Made by Man Who

Observations Made by a Man Who
Had Gone Il Week without Food.
For the first two days through which
to exist upon nothing his sufferings
are perhaps more acute than in the re-
naming stages; he feels an inordinate,
unspeakable craving at the stomach
night and day. The mind runs upon
beef, bread and other substances, but
still, in a great measure, the body re-
tains its strength.
On the third and fourth days, but
especially on the fourth, this incessant
craving gives place to a sinking and
weakness of the stomach, accompanied
by nausea. The unfortunate sufferer
still desires food, but with a loss of
strength he loses that eager craving
which he felt in the earlier stages.
Should he chance to obtain morSel
or two of food, he swallows it with q
wolfish avidity, bat five minutes af-
terward his sufferings are more in
tense than ever. He feels as if he had
swallowed a living lobster, which is
clawing and feeding upon the very
foundation of his existence.
On the fifth day his cheeks suddenly
appear hollow and sunken, his body

war with each other. The stomach
calls upon the legs to go with it in
quest of food; the legs, from weakness,
refuse.
The sixth day brings with it in
creased suffering, although the pangs
of hunger are lost in an overpowering
languor and sickness. The head be-
comes giddy; the ghosts of well-re-
membered dinners pass in hideous pro-
cession through the mind.
The seventh day comes, bringing in

REALLY INDEPENDENT PAPERS.

The independent newspaper which is
not chained to the wheels of any
party. which is independent of all
parties, which condemns either party
when it is wrong, and applauds either
when it is right. is the only kind Of
newspaper that is certain to receive
or that should expect to receive the
approval and support of the general
public. The partisan organ does not
reflect public opinion; it stands for
partisan expediency, always puts party
before country or state or city, and
its lack of independence places it in q.
class of its own, one quite different
from that of the newspaper which
fairly presents the truth on all sub
jects and fears only to be wrong in
statements or Observation-Disclosures

craasing lassitude and further pros
tration of strength. The arms hang
Estlessly, the legs drag heavily. The
desire for food is still left to degree,
but it must be brought, not sought.
The miserable remnant of life which
still hangs to the sufferer is a burden
almost too grevious to be borne; yet
his inherent love of existence induces
a desire still to preserve it if it can be
saved without a tax on bodily exer-
tion.'
The mind wanders. AT one moment
he thinks his weary limbs cannot sus-
tain him a mile; the next he is endow-
ed with unnatural strength, and if
there be a. certainty of relief before
him, dashes bravely and strongly for
ward, wondering whence proceeds his
new and sudden impulse.

la vENDEE AND ITS PEOPLE.

In La Vendee there were no great
lords; the land owners may be de-
scribed rather as gentry than as no
biIity. The difference between these
two classes of land owners called forth
the following remark from Arthur
Young, who says:
wherever you stumble on a grand
seigneur you are sure to find his prop
erty desert; go to their residence, and
you will probably find them in the
midst of a forest very well peopled
with deer, wild boars and wolves. OH
If 7 was legislator of France for a day
would make such great lords skip
again.
The higher nobility were absentees,
and with few exceptions lavished their
revenues at court, in pure selfishness.
In La Vendee, the land owners for the
most part lived in their chateaux,
sharing with their tenants, according
to the metayer system, the bad years
with the good. In the woody district
known as the Bocage, there was
plenty of sport. the pleasure and the
profit OF which were also shared. When
the Seigneur went to the chase he was
always accompanied by the peasants,
who not only became expert shots
thereby, but their general intelligence
was developed by intercourse with
their Superiors. The Vendeans were a
deeply religious people: they held their
clergy deservedly in reverence. The
church itself represented a, sanctuary.
The tradition had come down to them
from the old troublous times, when
many churches were fortified, and Of
fered shelter to the families of the
villagers when attacked by maraud-
Ing enemies. The bells-each one bear
ing the name Of a favorite local saint
had a sort of personality. On return
ing home the traveller knew the bells
of his own parish; and in fancy how
often the familiar sound had struck
on his ear when leagues distant, In
1894 it was decreed that the church
bells should be taken down and made
into cannon. IN La Vendee the villag-
ers loudly protested against this; and
it is related that one poor woman,
hinging her arms around the bell as it
lay on the ground about to be carted
away, cried out in an agony of grief:
Q, thou who hast rung for my birth,
wilt thou not knell for my death?''

CLEVER WORK OF AN OcULlsT.
How Damage Suit v as Defeated Through
 9 Little Knowledge of Optics.

How Damage Suit Was Defeated Through
 9 Little Knowledge of Optics.
 Here is an interesting account of very clever bit of detective work by an oculist. It appears that in a large fac, tory, in which were employed several hundred persons, one of the workmen, in yielding his hammer, carelessly al- lowed it to slip from his hand. It flew half way across the room and struck fellow workingman in the left eye. The man averred that his sight was blinded by the blow, although a care ful examination failed to reveal any in- jury, there being not scratch visible. He brought a suit in the courts for compensation for the loss of half of his eycsight, and refused all offers of com promise.
 Under the law, says the Sheffield England Telegraph, the owner of the factory was responsible for an injury resulting from an accident of this kind, and although he believed that the man was shamming and that the whole case was an attempt at swindling, he had about made up his mind that he would be compelled to pay the claim. The day Of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist retained for the defense examined the alleged in- jured member and gave it as his opin- ion that it was as good as the right eye. Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of his inability to see with his left eye, the oculist proved him a perjurer and satisfied the court and jury of the fal- sity of his claim.
 And how do you suppose he did it? Why, simply by knowing that the colors green and red combined make black. He procured a black card on which few words were written with green ink. Then the plaintiff was or dered to put on pair of spectacles with two different glasses, the one for the right eye being red and the one for the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was handed him and he was ordered to read the writing On it. This he did without hesitation, and the cheat was at once exposed. The sound right eye, fitted with red glass, was unable to distinguish the green writing on the black surface of the card, while the left eye, which he pretended was sightless, was the one with which the reading had to be done.

 A tall, grizzly man, wearing broad brimmed slouch hat of a muddy yellow color, and big, wide brooches tucked in tramped across the tiled floor of the Laclede rotunda and stopped before the handicapped counter, from be- hind which Col. Tom Pritchard gave cheery greeting, says the St. Louis Re public. The tall, grizzly man said he was from Red Dog, Ark, and he looked like it when, with his son, he arrived at the Laclcde.

Pritchard. "Whut's the cheapest room ye c'n give me an Bill? We don't give durn fer style jist like ye have yerse'f is good enough fer us tu. Eh, Bill?''

 ''Breakfast from seven to ten a. m., dinner from half-past twelve to two p. m. and snpper from six to nine p. m.," replied Col. Pritchard.

 Men of Strong Nerves and the Beings of
 the Spirit World.
 The simple faith of the Norwegian peasants is that the seeing or not see ing of beings of the other world is a mere question of strong or weak nerves. Only reversing, says All the Year Round, the generally accepted belief, it is the Northman of strong nerves who has power to see the un- seen. And he who sees it fears it not. If you have the gift" says my in- formant, you may see dozens and scores of forms pass your door, but you know not what it is to feel alarm"
 There's ghost on every ship" says the same authority. My own uncle, who saw the unseen plain from his childhood, was married to a woman who coull not believe in spirits. He had fishing smack of his own, and saw strange things of nights. One night he asked her to go out with him, and she went. If I see anything will call for you,' he said, and she agreed to it. Tn the dark middle of the night he could see three men come walking on the water toward the little vessel. He went and called his wife, saying:
 "'Lool1 out now; do you see noth. ing?'
 No said the wife. T see nothing but the water and the darkness
 "'Wcll,' said he, there are three men there, plain to be seen, and now I'll go and get up the nets, for a storm is surely coming
 Two o'clock was the wonted hour for getting up the nets, but wait he would not, in spite of all his wife could say to him.
 When two o'clock came the nets of all the other fishermen were lost and their boats nearly wrecked in sudden great storm that rose. but my uncle was well out of it, and anchored in safety, because he could read the signs they were all blind to.

TT WAS BIG MONEY.
What the Little Girl Got for Kindness te
 an Old Woman.

dA Sau W O14a1s
 An interesting story comes from Soho, says the Leeds (England) Mer- cury. Some time ago an old woman named Sarah Edwards, who lived for some years in humble lodgings ill Ger rard street, Soho, called to her little girl named Mary Gordon, who had per formed various kindly offices for her. After asking for and receiving kiss from the child the old lady said to her: You have been very kind and at- tentive to me, and I will make you a present" The little one no doubt ex- pected sixpence at the least, but all she received was a very dirty, greasy bit of paper. She was somewhat dis appointed, but placed the paper among her other little possessions and thought no more of the matter until the fol lowing morning, when she heard that her old friend was dead. She then be- thought her of the peculiar gift and handed it to her father. He, a mechanic working in Long Acre, recognized it as a ifty-pound sterling bank note, but, owing to it's tattered condition, de cided to consult a solicitor before at- tempting to cash it. The solicitors clerk, with some difficulty and paste, joined the disunited parts. He then presented the note at the Bank of Eng land, where it was immediately cashed.

How the Railroad Have Affected Branch es
 of Old Mobiles Business.
 A portion of the glory of Mobile, Ala, departed when, after years of la bor, the railroads from the north were able to surmount the difficulties pre- sented by marshland and bayou and continue their lines to New Orleans.
 This affected certain branches of the business of the city materially, prac- tically ruiHing the heavy trade in re- shipping merchandise at Mobile to New Orleans, leaving giant warehouses tenantless and docks to rot and become grass grown.
 The extent of the depreciation in value of some of the shipping property can be inferred from the following ob- serrations of a recently returned com mercial traveller.
 In walking through one of the old streets recently Il" saw on the ground floor of huge fvc-story warehouse the striped pole and the sign of barber shop an boot backing establishment, Walking in to have his shoes polished he inquired of the proprietor how much of the building he rented.
 ''All of it." replied the man.
 ''What, all of this immense build ing?" asked the drummer in surprise. Why, how can you afford it? What do you pay for it?"
 Fifteen dollars a month," was the answer. II use only what want of it, but my lease covers the whole prop crty."
 Inquiry from merchants of the city confirmed the mans statement. The class of property had become absolute ly useless by the altered conditions, enabling the barber to secure for if teen dollars q month building which formerly rented for thirty-fve hundred or four thousand dollars a year
