are deeply interested In the remarkable
case or a woman WHO has not slept for
seven years.
Frau Bertha Hejemes, who Is married
and has a little girl of ten, began her long
vigil one night when a gypsy woman at
tempted TO kidnap the child. Since then
she has not been able TO go to sleep, neither
has she had any inclination to DO SO.
She is in excellent health, and has never
had a days illness. but as soon as she en-
deavors TO lie down she is seized with a
violent nervous agitation, which compels
her TO sit I'D again.
The woman declares that she is quite
content in her sleepless state. as with the
whole twenty-four hours to herself she is
able TO perform all her household duties

A curious fact is that since the begin
ming of her insomnia she has developed a
great taste and ability for study, and has
learned three languages.
Frau Hejenes. is now tl1irty-eight years
old, and il is because of late she has been
subject to trrepressible fits Of yawning

PARLIAMENT SLOW TO ACT
Gardens To Be Connected When
Appropriation Is Voted-M.
Benedite Hopeful.
rRy Cable 90 The Tribune


Paris. Sept 24-Neither the Chamber
of Paris has yet voted its respective
portion of the appropriation Of S35OOOO
asked for by Dujardin Beaumetz, the
Under Minister Of Fine Arts, and Le-
once Benedite, curator of the Luxem-
bourg Museum, for the admiral BILE plan of
transferring the Luxembourg Museum
from its present inadequate building to
the great Seminary of St. Sulpice, No. 8
Place st. Sulpice, constructed in 1904,
and made vacant in 1905 by the opera
ton Of the Church and State separation
law. NJ Benedite is confident that
eventually this appropriation will be
voted, but at least two years must
elapse before the seminary and it's
gardens can be put into condition to re-
ceive the art collections.
The seminary occupies an area of two
acres at the corner of the Rue Waugh
rard. nearly opposite the present mu-
scum. and the Rue Bonaparte, and
extends to the Place ST. Sulpice
and the north end of the Rue
Ferou. 1t is a sombre structure four
stories high, which, to obtain adequate
light, must be transformed into a single
story edifice. Ernest Renan during his
student days occupied a modest room in
this seminary. The spacious gardens,
with fine elms in the seminary in
closures, Will be connected with the
Luxembourg Gardens.

Paris, recently showed your correspond

project Is supported by all lovers Of art

The Mayor continues, saying that as the
supreme Pontiff from the height of his

Church, has an equal duty to his fellow

Mayor. but from the fact that, advancing
fatally with sure steps even as the dawnIng

anxious travellers. The influences guiding
the people are ruled by laws that govern
the universe. They are above the Pontiff
and the Mayor. Mr.. Nathan SAYS in clos

Mayor Nathan's reply has resulted in the
struggle between the Clericals and Anti
Clericals becoming fiercer. This is reflect

Nathan the Antelope" In the mean

Free Mason lodges.
