Louisiana claims the honor of
having within her dominions the old
est person now living in this country,
if not in the world, in the person of
George Brown, colored, a native Of
Virginia, who boasts Of 131 years and
of having acted as servant Of George

= English, Ind, physicians are
puzzled over the case Of the eight-year-
old daughter of Fred Ispwellen. Four
years ago the child ceased to grow,
and her parents believe she is now
dwindling away. Up to her fourth
year she was unusually bright and
healthy. She has lost all power Of
locomotion, and with the exception Of
her bright, sparkling eyes she looks
like withered old woman. The
physicians believe it is a case of
ossifcation of anchylosis. The child

so much obliged to you" the lady
said: "my feet have not been wet for
20 years. "For heavens sake, ma
dam" said the captain, "don't show
them to me.
Every matchmaker knows that
the human frame is an excellent mag
net. A man will carry a watch for
years and be proud of its accuracy.
Then he will fall i'll, the watch will
lie on the mantelpiece or on the chest
of drawers and will develop great
inaccuracy and unreliability. The
only explanation given is that the
absence of magnetism upsets the time
announced, and the best proof Of this
is that when the man RECEIVERS and
takes his watch it soon gets right
again. No two men appear to have
the same magnetism in thir frames,
and it is seldom that two can use the
same watch satisfactorily.
1t appears that, after all, the
sleep sluggard is very rare being.
The man who does intellectual work
and exhibits what his friends think
to ovcrsleep is merely
obeying healthy instinct. The pop
ular notion that a. man who works
with his head. yet sleeps for nine
hours, is a sluggari, is popular non
sense. No one whose brain is active
and who does not drink ever sleeps
more than is good for him. Sleep is
