ASLEEP FOR ELEVEN YEARS.
The Queer Case OF q French Girl I'm
Trance.
Uondon Telegraph)

Usondon Telegraph.D
There is a girl named Marguerite Bouy-
enval at Thenelles, III the north OF
OF France. near st. Quentin. who is re-
ported to have been asleep for the past
eleven years. good deal Of doubt
has been thrown on this phenomenal
slumbering case. not only In Paris. but
also in Thenelles and it's vicinity. where
there are two camps--one of the be-
levers, and the other OF those who MAIN
tain that the so-called sleeping beauty
rises at night and has a good supper
The matter has been investigated by a
Partisan. who has seen the girl. and
fCund her as lean as a skeleton and stiff
az corpse. but still living. Her mother
injects milk. peptone. and sometimes
wine through a broken tooth in the girl 8
mouth.
Marguerite Bouyenyal made away with
a baby eleven years ago. and the gend-
armes were sent to her house. The
girl was so frightened that she had an
attack OF hysteria. which lasted several
hours. al the end of which she fell into
Il trance The doubts thrown on the
continuation OF the trance have evidently
been caused by the fact that the mother
OF the sleeping gri has made a great
deal OF money by exhibiting her. A local
doctor. who has observed the case du-
ring the eleven years Informed the in
vestigator from Paris that Marguerite
Bouyenval had really been asleep during
the whole time Occasionally she had
hystericaI cries. but did not awake after
them. Other doctors have also agreed
as to the genuineness OF the phenomenon.
and the sleeping girl OF Thenellas remains
a human mystery.

were nearing the Horn when big storm
overlook nm. We hose TO end drifted about
f,00o miles OF shore. The storm sSas one
of the worst have ever experienced In
twenty years Of seafaring life, and one
dark night. when big seas were breaking
over US, q big. burly fellow from the
forecastle came aft. knife In hand. and
walked directly up to me. / thought for
minute that mutiny was aboard. and.
drawing my revolver. ordered him to
stand back. But i soon saw he was
.erribly frightened, and, with chattering
eeth. he told me that frightfnl-looking
ihjecf was noundertng about amidships.
Il went with him To zee II. and, sure
rough, whenever q wave struck us, a
iuge, black body glowing In the phos-
phorescent blase Of the tropics, could be
seen houndertng about on deck. I soon
aseertained that II was lifeless, and then
proceeded to investigate. II proved to be
nothing but huge wine-cask. every
stave Of which was encrusted with bar
nacles, and II had probably been left on
deck BY receding wave Visions OF dead
bodies buried at sea in casks doomed up
before me as ! dashed the trophy to the
rigging. to await daylight before investi-
eating.
When the storm cleared away
tapped the cask and by means OF long
iron rod ascertained that there was no
thing but liquor IN IL. drew OF some OF
the stun, and tried II on two Portuguese
sailors aboard. They pronounced II prime,
so we all took taste. After that drew
OF the wine and stored II IN these lime
bottles. the only thing had handy. The
cask l placed In the British Museum at
Shanghai, for II was a real curiosity. The
chances are that the cask OF ciaret was
thrown overheard from some wreck, and
IT must have foated about In mid
ocean for three or four years at least
before II came aboard Of US. BarnaeIes
do not form on floating wood in less time
than that. and the cask WAS so covered
with them that not bit OF the wood was
visible"

Az EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.
Avoid 81 West Wind when Fishing
for Pickcrei Through the Ice.

IL would just as soon think Of going
out coon-huriing at high noon as to start
out for days fishing through the ice
when the wind is blowing from the west"
said a veteran Suilivan-county sportsman
Yes, | know all about the rhyme OF the
weather-wise ancient angler. | know that
ii declares that
when the wind is in the west
Then the fish viii bite the best;
l;ut when the wind is in the east,
Then the fish will bite the least
Every fisherman knows that rhyme by
heart, and IL may be as true as true can
he when il applies to summer fishing. but
It's way of as to winter fishing Go out
hopeful after summer fish when the wind
is In the west. but leave hope behind
when you go after pickerel through the
ice and have the west wind In your face.
Seems funny, too. when YOU come to
think Of IL. that with foot or two Of ice
between them and the outside world, to
say nothing OF the depth OF water they
are In. the point the wind Is blowing from
should make any difference TO pickerel
about taking or NOT taking bait: hut don't
you forget II. II makes a heap of differ
ence. | can't begin 10 tell you why, be-
cause ! don't know, but do know that
time and time again, when ! have been
pickerel-nshing In n strong east wind.
end hauling In pickerel after plckerel.
big fellows, too, as fast as ! could go
from one tip-up 10 another, the wind
has shifted around until at last 1t came
out of the west As the wind changed
the pickerel began gradually to ignore
my bait, until bv the time the wind was
sweeping over the ice straight from the
west not a tp-up would tip. Many and
many a-time
When | first had this experience | at
tributed this change In the disposition
or the plckerel TO their caprlcious nature,
and kept right on fishing. In expectation
that they would change their minds by
and by and go 10 biting again. ! soon
learned, though, to know that II was the
mysterious influence of the wind on the
pickerel, and not a within OF theirs. that
was responsible for the change. and since
that knowledge came TO me so that there
was no possible doubt about IT. have
never once left my tin-ups In the holes
a moment after the wind shifted from
the east To the west, for l knew II would
he time thrown away. SO. If you are
thinking Of going out 10 catch pickerel
through the ice. and really want to get
some pickerel. wait for the east wind.
Then you'll get EN- and big ones too.'

She has made communication easy by

much OF the continent as lies east or

In LAYING out a vast central and almost
unbroken plain. she has destined the
largest and richest region OF the country
to be the home Of one nation, ana one
only. That the lands which lie east OF tn's
region, between the Aiieghanies and the
Atlantic. and those which lie west OF II.
between the Rocky Mountains and the
Pacific, are also occupied by that one
nation. IL due 10 the fact that before colo
