Wrapped In the pure white linen

A noble soul 10 the beginning
Called home before she is old. 8;
A peaceful calm rest on the face
So beautiful and fair;
Until keen suffering left It's trace
And drew. deep lines OF care;
Those lips which smiled on one and all
And spoke kind words OF love;
Are silenced for while on earth
She speaks 10 Heaven above.
And willing hands and feet, ali! too!
They're quiet now and cold;
God had other work for her to do
She's gathered to his fold;
And though IN sorrow we may weep
For the loss OF one most dear;
We know that very soon we'll meet
Sad partings nc'er to fear;
For Christ our Saviour, Lord aud KIM
Laid down His life that we
| SO faithful might his praises sing
And live through all eternity.

SLEEPS FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Girl Suffers from Fright After Pursuit
by Bull.

Paris.-M. Paul Farez reported to
the Cociete d'Hypnologie ct de Psy-
chologie de Paris the following curious
observation:
Bonita F. was born in 1S43. In
1876 she was chased, with her chill
dren, by a mad bull Thoroughly over
come by the emotion she had sus-
tanned, she complained of violent head
ache. A bone setter told her she
would have still greater sufferings
She became silent, stopped eating,
took to her bed. and remained with
out movement as asleep. Her condi.
ton did not resemble that of hypnotic
sleep with dissertation of the different
sensorial activities.
In her case 1t was a question of al.
most complete psychic observation,
consequent on certain mental condi
ton accompanied only by the follow.
ing physiological manifestations
sort of grunting or movement of the
arms to ask for drink and the swal
lowing of 1875 grams of water daily.
AT the end of 80 years Bonita got
up, spoke, and recollected persons and
things; the only food she takes is
little milk and water.
How was she able to live in such
conditions? M. Farez is of opinion
that by remaining motionless Bonita
expended nothing, and that, expanding
nothing. she did not require to eat.
The absence of appetite, OF desire,
of hunger, he says, allowed her to sup
port such fast with indifference;
while fasting, no matter for how short
time, causes the tortures so well
known and inevitably causes death
when the physiological factor of hum
ger is present.
