Michael Doran, who has slept for
two years, has been discharged as
cured from the Binghampton State
Hospital, New York. When he was
sent to that institution, his case puz-
zled the doctors. He had an uncon-
trollable desire to sleep and his maps
became longer aud longer. All efforts
to awaken him proved unavailing, and
finally he went to sleep and remained
IN a somnolent state for twoyears, his
only movement being to turn from
one side to the other as though rest
less. 1t was found necessary to feed
him artifcially, and he remained In
this state until four months ago, when
the attendants noticed an occasional
futter of the eyelids. This lasted for
several days, and then as man carry
ing bread passed through the ward he
asked for bread, the first words he
had spoken in two years. 1t was CIV
en- him, and from that time he recOy-
cred rapidly until ha was able to get
out in the sunshine. This quickly re-
stored the use of his limbs and now he
has been discharged as perfectly cured
of any desire to take long maps.

A Town For Negroes Only.

a Chattanooga dispatch says: Jos
eph ?. Long, A. NJ. Holmes, colored'
and others have closed deal by which
they secure control of 200 or more
acres of land eight miles from Atlanta
Ga, on which they propose to build a
negro settlement. The property will
be divided into lots and streets, and
the lots will be sold to negroes. 1t Is
the intention Of the promoters to have
the town governed by negroes and in
time to have cotton factories and other
manufactures erected and schools and
churches established. Itis considered
a great step in the advancement of the
negro, as it will teach him how to bet
ter appreciate law and government
and will show to the white people that
he is capable Of governing himself. "

Dollars in Odd Shape.

Under the law silver dollar may
be a grain and half over weight or
a grain and half under weight, and
this "limit of tolerance" applies to all
of our silver coins. In other words,
they are not allowed to vary more than
that much from standard. 1.-THE case
of gold pieces, the limit is halfa grain
either way, up to the eagle; varia-
ton of as much as one grain being per-
Missile in the ten and twenty dollar
pieces.
Whenever a fresh batch of dollars
is turned out at the mint, samples are
forwarded to the Treasury at Washing
ton, where they are put througha very
curious process. Each dollar is first
weighed on exquisitely delicate scales,
to make sure that it is heavy enough
and yet not too heavy. linen II Is
passed between two steel rollers,again
and again, until it is fattened out and
transformed into thin strip Of silver
"a sort of ribbon-a foot and half
in length. Then it is put beneath
little machine provided with several
small punches, by which hundreds of
tiny disks are punched out of the metal
strip.
Now, the object of this performance
is to obtain samples Of metal from all
parts of the dollar, inasmuch as it is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer in silver than another. The
little disks are shufled together, and
few of them, taken at random from
the lot, are subjected to an assay.
Thus the fneness Of the material Of
the dollar is ascertained with absolute
accuracy, and, the weight having been
already determined, the value and
correctness of that coin are perfectly
known.
The sample pieces having been
found correct, it is is inferred that the
entire batch OF dollars is all right.

A Strange Insect In a Queer Place.

A dispatch from Danielson' Conn., tells
the following strange story: DR.. Franz
Pfafan, entomologist and lecturer OF
the Harvard Medical School, will
classify peculiar insect sent to him +
yesterday by DR.. W. Il. JudsOn' O.
this place. This specimen was taken
from the right side of Pierre Cloutler'
a mill worker, 40 years old. 1t re-
sembles spider, having y legs, but
its body is like that of the common
potato bug, though grayish in tint 1t
was alive and very full of fight when
it madeitsappearance upon the break
ing of what Cloutier thought was an
abscess.
Cloutier says that about three months
ago be noticed slight swelling IN his
side. 1t became troublesome and an
acute itching sensation developed.
Cloutier though at first that it was a
boil, and treated it with poulhces.
The lump grew from the size Of
walnut to the dimension Of a hen S egg'
and several days ago began to sup
pirate. When it broke the insect
made its appearance as iffrOm an egg
Cloutier hurried to DR.. Judson, who
treated him. The abscess has almost
healed and the distress of it has been
relieved.
DR.. Judson and several physicians
who made examinations of ClOutier and
the insect are mystifed. They believe
that some parasite which puuctured
the skin became lodged in the sub
cutaneous tissue and grew there, but
its classification is unknown.

Pearls of Thought.

The social card table is the college
of gambling.
He who Injuries his brother draws
his own blood.
One can do what he cannot do if he
does what he can.
Love is the larger law that will sue
coed that of liberty.
If there were no listeners there
would be nc gossip.
Some men rise in the world because
they are light weight.
Education has never yet saved a
man from being fool.
The consciousness of duty dispels
the dread Of consequence.
He who shuts his eyes when it rains
will never see the rainbow.
The thermometer is poor thing at
which to warm your hands.
No man does his duty till he has
forgotten duty in the JOY of love.
The best way to overcome error Is
to emphasize the truth it ignores.
A brave retreat may show greater
courage than foolhardy advance.
1t is poor plan to reprove a man
for walking lame by knocking him
down.
He who would win in a race must
reckon only with the road yet to be
run
