Medical Men Puzzled.


Great interest Is again being dis

who for nearly nineteen years has
been in q state Of catalepsy. taking
neither meat nor drink. and to oil ap
pearance dead, save for the regular
but almost imperceptible beating OF
the heart. Marguerite Bouyenval who
lies in a little bed on the ground hOof
of her mothers cottage. In the. village
OF Thenelles. near Saint Quentin. is
now nearly thirty-eight years old. She
has been visited by hosts OF people.
including q number Of medical celebri.
ties. and all sorts Of theories have been
put forward by way Of accounting
for her condition. The local physi

IN expert In his report to the Saint
Quentin court, which years ago went
into this very peculiar case. Now.
however, the Idea is started that Mar.

netized, and, not having afterwards
been properly aroused, may thus have
remained in q state Of hypnotic cata.

Representative Hepburn. OF Iowa:
and most Of the other Nicaragua canal

think the President would be able to
get a satisfactory title to the Panama
Canal property.
In the Senate the conference report
on the Canal bill was presented by Mr.
Morgan (Dem.. Ala.) and was agreed
to without comment or division.
The bill was sent to the President.
The bill provides for the purchase
Of the rights and property Of the Pana.

factory title can be obtained. Other
wise the Nicaragua route is to be
chosen.

The Watch In Hot Weather.

ago II became the fashion to wear the
watch In the upper outside pocket of

In the buttonhole Of the lapel. so that
the chain ornamented that part Of the
garment.
Then the fashion disappeared. 1t
has returned. and during the first
warm days Of last week. when waist
coats were discarded. the tendency to
transfer the watch to the upper out
side pocket Of the coat was very
marked
An authority on such matters says
the fashion originated In New York.
when negiigee wear was more Of q
novelty than It Is now. The same
authority adds that the watch In the
coat pocket 10 q better mode than
wearing It In the pocket Of the negli-
gee shirt.
