Two species Of fish have been lately
discovered in Africa and Australia
which are possessed Of lungs. They
form the connecting link In the eyolu-
tion from fishes to the next order OF
creatures The reason that these fish
are provided with lungs Is that they
are found in streams which dry up en-
tirely in the hot summer season, leay-
ing the fish In the empty beds Of the
streams, This period OF droughts often
lasts for six months OF the year, and
duging all this period the fsh lie quies-
cent IN a kind Of sack formed out Of
the clay Of the river bed. The FISH are

Tt.o luvdi.sl profession aot only OF
Montreal, but OF the wnUie province,
is deeply interested In case which is
believed to be without parallel in the
annals Of medical science. The central
figure is known as THE Little Sleep
er," and her case is an extraordinary
one.
Miss Eva Roch is the sufferer around
whose sick bed so much interest CEN
ters. She is % years OF age, and is the
daughter of Brian Roch foremen en-
ployed In tho city water department
OF Montreal. She is dying; the family
physician has abandoned all hope, and
says that at most il is only a question
of few days before death will have
claimed the young life, so much OF
which has been spent IN suffering.
When Eva was 5 years OF age she be-
came afflicted with a peculiar disease.
commonly called softening OF the
bones. She spent nine months in one
OF the city hospitals. being treated for
this disease, and at the end Of that
time she was not one whit better in
health than she had been on entering
the institution. Mrs. Roch, who, with
her family, is a Catholic, decided TO
take her little girl 10 ST. Anne de
Beaupre, from which so many miracles
in the way OF healing have been re-
ported. The journey was a painful
one, for every bone in the little suffer-
er's body ached, and she could not put
a foot to the ground The journey was
apparently without result, but Mrs.
Roch's faith was great, and three times
the ordeal was accomplished Then
there came visible results, and save for
a slight limp she was as healthy a girl
as could be found in the Dominion.
This continued only until Dec. %, 1898
On the morning Of that day she fell
into a strange, unnatural sleep. II
lasted all day and all night. The next
morning the usual expedients were re-
sorted TO in order to awaken her, but
without avail. She slept on. The days
heightened into weeks, and on the
twenty-eighth day she awoke. But
what sad havoc her strange afiiiction
had caused in her constitutional she
was very weak and she was blind.
Gradually the sight of one eye was re-
stored to her, but the other has re-
mained useless.
All sorts OF physical troubles fol-
lowed in quick succession until the an
niversary OF the day she first fell asleep
came around. On Dec. %. 1899, Miss
Roch again fell asleep. All the condi-
tions Of the first long sleep repeated
themselves, save that the sleeper was
much weaker than In the former case.

The unusual spectacle Of Judge in
tears was witnessed at CardifS when
Mr.. Justice Bucknill pronounced the
capital sentence for the first time In
his judicial career The sentence was
on woman, and the Judge. whose voice
was very shaky from the first words OF
the sentence. entirely broke down at
the end and burst into tears. The
scene, especially after the pathetic ap-
peal OF the prisoner for mercy for the
sake OF her children. was almost with
out parallel in the annals of trials
Even the leading counsel were obliged
to use little subterfuges to hide their
emotion.

then what will become OF us Red
Dragon slayers? H.. =. =.
HAVE RIDDEN THE MULE.

The general return of Silver
Republicans to the ranks of the
Grand Old Party is a strong tetis-
monial of the virtues of Republi-
canism: The Silver Republicans
left the old party because they be-
lleved it was wandering from
tlme-honored principles and they
suspected that it had fallen under
the dominion Of corrupt and
wholly sordid men. In that state
of mind they made an excursion
into the realms of Popuiism and
Democracy, and after three years
OF observation and experimental
ton, they came to the conclusion
that Populisrn and Democracy
and fusion were useless contriv-
ances without profit or honor.
We are glad that so many Re-
publicans have acquired a prac-
teal knowledge of Democracy in
all its ramiications. They have
seen the inside workings; they
have experienced the corruption
and sordidness which animate it,
and, what is still better, they are
living witnesses to its incompet-
ency-in short, they have ridden
the mule, and, therefore, there is
no danger that they will ever
again mount the hurricane deck
of that animal. With such an
experience, it is our firm belief
that forever more the staunchest
and most uncompromising Repub-
licans will be the ex-Silver Repub-
licans. When, as the years roll
on, they look back to the three
years of buckarooing on the back
of the Democratic emblem, they
will shudder and lifting up their
voices shout, Oh, lord, forgive US,
we did not know the beast before.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-02-17
DEMOCRATIC CONSCIENCE.

Democrats pretend to be hor-
rified because Silver Republicans
who have reunited with the
straight Republicans insist that
they still believe in birnetalism.
The Democratic conscience has
in some respects become very
acute lately, and it 10 somewhat
remarkable seeing that only a few
years ago they rejoiced exceed
ingiy over the election OF Grover
Cleveland, the most pronounced
gold bug of recent tiMes. It is
moreover remarkable in view of
the fact that Mr.. Bryan recently
urged the gold Democrats to get
back in line so that the money
question might be settled within
the party. just, now, the Demo-
Gratis are very fond of alluding to
ex-Silver Republicans as traitors,
but when gold bug Democrat
fops into the Bryan camp, they
all want to hug him. When Mr..
Belmont indicated that he would
support Bryan in the next CAM
paign because the complexion of
the Senate was such as to render
Bryan helpless even if elected, the
Democrats were full of gladness
and shouted bravo, Belmont.
They did not say word about
traitor. Democratic conscience is
a queer article, especially when
quickened.

on account of previous condition.
The TRIBUNE can say for itself,
and we helieve we may speak
for Republicans in general, that
we are just as glad to have the
Silve Republicans back as they
possibly can be to get back. It
don't count for SO much with us
when now and again a political
leader comes back as when the
rank and file declare themselves
as they did in Blaine and Fremont
counties last week, although, it
gives us pleasure, which no
pride shall conceal, when men
like Patrie, Parsons and Sweet re-
turn to the fold, and if in course
of events the Republican party
shall think proper to confer spec
ial honors upon such men, The
TRIBUNE will cheerfully raise its
voice in their behalf.
