Snow at New Orleans. ;.Z
A fall of snow in New Orleans wan
astonishing event. Men would Bcarcely
bo more excited if Clay statue were to
evolve into the crater: of an eruptive
volcano. That snow is a most wonder
ful intoxicant cannot be a matter- of
doubt to any impartial or unprejudiced
observer of the antics of. Orleanians the
other day. Foremost in the ranks of
the snow drunk was the powerful small
boy the Bobby of the mansion, the
Mickey of Bank alley. Bobby scraped
from rose bush, lawn and doorstep suf
ficient snow to make his first snowball,
and pelted therewith nurse, coachman
and cook. Mickey scrambled with his
ragged fellows for the meager fall of
snow upon curbstone and pavement,
and as he waited with red shining nose
for the evening papers, he sent up many
a merry shout and shied many a whiz
zing Bnowball.
As the fluffy shower began to freckle
the gloomy atmosphere about noon pe
destrians stopped in their mad rush
along the thoroughfares to stand shiver
ing beneath protecting sheds and gaze
curiously at the snow as a thing rarely
seen. Clerks and shopgirls thronged
to windows and showcases and flattened
their noses against the panes to Bee the
flecks. Upon St. Charles avenue and
Prytania street one might have thought
from the number of ladies in shawls and
ulsters npon galleries and at windows
that some great procession was passing.
There was quite as much enthusiasm,
nervousness and color.
Not a few of the schools and acad
emies gave their pupils a half holiday,
with instructions to Bee the snow and
take advantage of the opportunity to
study the phenomena pertaining thereto.
There was not enough snow to cause
any fan about the exchange. Eleven
years ago, when the snow fell last, the
Cotton exchange men were like bo many
schoolboys. They rubbed each other's
faces with snow, they had snowball bat
tles, and the stately and bewhiskered
cotton king thonght nothing of being
shot through the ear with a globe of
snowflakes. New Orleans Times-Demo

A Long Sleep-in Silesia. :
A most peculiar case of prolonged sleep
is at present occupying the attention of
medical circles in Germany. A miner
named Johann Latus is an inmate of the
hospital at Myslowitz, in Silesia, where
he was admitted four months and a half
ago, and since then all efforts to wake
him have been fruitless. Dr. Albers,
the doctor attending him, is of the opin
ion that the apparent sleep is really a
state of catalepsy, though medical science
has on record no previous case of such a
prolonged nature. He has arrived at
this conclusion on account of all the
limbs being absolutely rigid. . The ap
pearance of the' man, however, betrays
no signs of this. The body lies quite
e till, the breathing is regular, and there
is a healthy color in the cheeks. In the
last few days the body has become much
' less rigid, and the patient has even made
some slight movement, without, how
ever, the eyes opening or the condition
of apparent sleep being in any way dis
turbed. In the four months and a half
-' that the sleep has lasted the hair has in
creased in length, but the beard has re
mained stationary. ' Nourishment to th 3
extent of two or three liters of milk is
administered daily by a tube inserted
into the throat. Vienna Letter.
A Monster Wheel.
The new 80-foot flywheel to replace
the one which burst on the Amoskeag
corporation at Manchester, N. EL, last
fall, has been completed and put - in
position for use . as soon as the engine
is in readiness. Twenty thousand feet
of brown ash was used in the construc
tion of the wheel, as well as 18,000 by
3-inch screws, a lot of iron rods, tons
of iron and quarts of glue. The small
wooden sections are fastened together
by glue and the screws, and to strengthen
the whole there are stout iron rods pass
ing through the sections in addition to
this. The screws are driven by steam
power. To make the whole mass as
compact as possible narrow openings
were iett Dec ween some or the sections.
and into these were tightly driven well
ntting wedges soaked in boiling hot
giue. - -
The time of its test is being awaited
with interest by the mill people. It has
been necessary to keep a large cans: of
men at work upon the racks in the mill
in order to prevent interference in the
mills from ice. Lowell Citizen.
Married with Her Anna All Dough,
A very romantic ' marriage has taken
place in Montgomery county, N. C. A
young man obtained the license, secured
the preacher, took him immediately to
the presence of his intended. He found
her m the kitchen making up dough.
The young fellow did not give-her time
to clean her hands and arms, but had
the preacher to tie the knot at once.
The preacher made quick work of it and
sent them on their way rejoicing. Phil

A Chinese Gorernor. 1
Tshang Yao, the governor of the pro
vince of Shantung, who died 'recently,
was one of the highest dignitaries of the
Celestial empire. - He had a highly ad
venturous career. Born in lowly posi
tion, he was obliged to flee in his youth
on account of having murdered the tor
mentor of an old man. He became a
robber and soon stood at the head of all
the brigands who made the province of
Hunan unsafe. When, during the re
bellion, the chief town of the province
was threatened, the governor issued a.
proclamation in which he promised the
hand of his daughter to the man who
would save the town from the enemy.
At the head of 600 bandits, Tshang
beat off the attack of the rebels, and led
home on the next day, as a reward for
his , bravery, the almond eyed beauty.
Then he made rapid progress. He was
not able to read or write, but was of
great integrity, and died poor as he was J
born. He was called by his people, on
account of his charity, Tshang, "the
blue sky." It is said, however, that he
was not always just toward Europeans,
and especially the missionaries. London

A Turtle's Unavoidable Delay.
During a windstorm in the early days
of last June a tree on the farm of Mor
timer Hamilton, . in Jackson county,
Ind., was blown down, and in falling a
limb struck squarely across the back of
a large snapping turtle and forced it
down into the earth. A day or two
since the limb was cut away and the
snapper, released from its imprisonment,
trudged away, apparently uninjured,
from its prison, where it had lam im
movably fixed without food or water for
over four months. Cor. Chicago Trib

vegetable and' stimulates, digestion and creates
new blood, the very thing fur old, delicate or
broken down people. It builds them up and
prolongs their lives. A case in point:
Mrs. Belden an estimable aud elderly lady of
S10 Mason 6L, 8. F. was for months declining so
rapidly as to seriously alarm ber family, it got
so bad that she was finally afflicted with fainting
spells. She writes: "While in that dangerous
condition I saw some of the testimonials con
cerning J. V. 8. and sent for a bottle. That marked
the turning point I regained my lost flesh and
strength and have not felt so well in years."
That was two years ago and Mrs. Belden is well

V-Tea, by the way, Is one of the most notorf
