An extraordinary thing happened at

which proves once more hat truth is
often stranger than fiction. A man
named Wesley Sweet was owing a
merchant, Eugene Doughty. a little
bill of 80 cents, and told the clerk that
if he was alive he would certainly
call and pay it that night. He failed
to show up. Il guess Sweet must be
dead said the clerk, to Mr.. Doughty,
in a ~jocular way. Next morning Mr..
Doughty and his wife were at the
store, when in walked Mr.. Sweet.
why hello!" said Mr.. Doughty. Il
thought you were dead"
why, no, I'm not" replied Sweet.
But you are jokingly replied Mr..
Doughty. You are a mar of your
word, and you said last night that if
you We're alive you We're coming in to
see me: so you must he dead"
Just then a friend of Mr.. Doughty's
came in, and as he turned to greet
him Mr.. Sweet reeled suddenly and

A STRANGE Patient,

There came to a Birmingham CEng.)
hospital the other day a man named
Morgan Field, who is afflicted by a
disease which gives him the appear
ance of a living corpse. His skin has
become marble White, devoid of ex-
preston, the natural line having been
obliterated, feeling stony cold to the
touch, and looking like the skin of a
dead man. The skin has become so
tight around the joints that he is UNI
able to bend them, and he can only
partially open his mouth with diff
Guilty. So far the case has defied the
resources of medical science, and
specialists can only guess that the
mans conditions is due to an obstruc-
ton in the arteries, veins, or lymph
vessels, caused by some disturbance
in the ryo center governing the
blood supply.
