An interesting account descriptive of the “sleepy disease,” peculiar to Africa, Is given in the “Journal of an African Cruiser.” Persons attacked by this singular malady are those who take littlb exercise and live principally on vegetables, particularly cassoda and rice. Some observers ascribe it to the cassoda, which is strongly, narcotic. Not improbably the climate has much influence, the disease being most prev alent in low and marshy regions. Irresistible drowsiness continually weighs down the patient, who can be kept awake only for the few minutes needful to take a little food. When this lethargy has lasted three or four months death comes, but only in the form of deeper slumber. The author of the book mentioned tells of a mem ber of the royal family of Luakaka who was afflicted with this curious di sease: “I found the aspect of Queen Mau mee’s beautiful granddaughter incon ceivably affecting. It was strange to see her so quiet, in a sleep from which it might be supposed she would awake full of youthful vigor, and yet to know that this was no refreshing slumber, but a spell in which she was fading for ever from the eyes that loved her. “This young girl was but 14 years of age. With some difficulty she was aroused, and woke with a frightened cry—a strange, broken murmur—as if she were looking dimly out in the phantasies of a dream. Her eyes were wild and glassy; rolled wildly in their sockets for a second, then immediately sunk into the deep and heavy sleep in which we found her. This poor, doomed girl had been suffering for about three months—no, not suffering, for, except when forcibly aroused, there appears to be no uneasiness until after the end of the third month of ''bis unnatural slumber, when the v' fn becomes wild and constantly r< / his or her head from side to sidr—never opening the eyes—death ensuing within a few days after these symptoms set in.” To Meet Her Dover. At 5:30 in the morning a well dressed young woman .arrived in Utica from Castle Garden. She had come all the way from a place in western Russia, and was on her way to meet her lover in Duluth, Minn., who had left her two years before to find a home for both of them in the New World. He went to Duluth and became fairly prosperous. As soon as he was able he wrote to his sweetheart and urged her to come to him, but the age and sick ness of her parents kept her in Russia until this year. Both her parents having died, the young man sent her tickets to bring her Jo America, with what he supposed was sufficient money for the journey, The young woman began her journey more ‘ than a month ago, and when she arrived at Castle, Garden thought she must be within a few hours’ journey of her friend. She came on to Utica, as stated, and was taken to the Central depot, whence she was to proceed on her journey by another train. She waited about the depot all day, and at night in broken German told Leonard Pruey, the baggage master, that she had not had anything to eat all day, and had only twenty cents in her purse. When she had recited the whole story, and Mr. Pruey told her that instead of a few hours she would yet have several days of travel, her distress was pitiful. The kind hearted baggageman promised to do all he could for her, and began his ministra tions by giving her a square meal. He then intonated himself in bettering her financial condition, and told Conductor John Unser, of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg, about it. Mr. Unser was bound north with his train and made no promises, but early the next morning when he came to Utica again he gave Mr. Pruey a purse of money which he had collected on his train to help the girl on her way. She finally left Utica, after a delay of about twen ty-four hours, with a big bag of provi sions and many good wishes.—Utica Herald. Snakes at Scrapeskillet. Trouble for Boston Jew*» There is a great commotion among the Jewish population of Boston, caused by an order recently issued by the board of health forbidding the killing of fowl within the thickly settled sections of the city, except in places especially assigned for that purpose by the board of health. The Jews put great reliance on poultry for their sustenance, and it is probable that they consume as many chickens as all the other people of Boston put to gether. The poultry that is consumed by others than the Jews is generally killed outside, but all the fowls intend-* ed for Jewish consumption have hith erto been killed in this city. The reason for this is to be found in the Jewish law. The meat of no animal or fowl that has not been killed by a per son authorized by the rabbi to slaughter such animal or fowl can be eaten by a Jew, nor can it be eaten after having been killed for over two days. The con sequence is that the people of this race prefer to buy their own fowls or animals alive and have them killed by the proper authority. It is calculated that some thing like 5,000 chickens are brought into Boston alive every week for Jewish con sumption alone.—Boston Herald. An English Veteran. There is a great deal in the papers on the fact that -Sir Provo Wallis has en- tered the hundredth year of his life, He entered the British’ navy as a middy eighty-six years ago, and had retired from service as a post captain before the navy contained a single steam vessel. He has a unique distinction here as the sole survivor of the naval life of the time of Nelson, but the venerable man has Amer ican interest as well. He was born in Nova Scotia, and as senior officer com manded the Shannon when she sailed out of Boston harbor after the historic fight with the Chesapeake, towing the capt ured vessel with Lawrence’s body to Halifax. He was made commander' for share in that memorable battle fought seventy-eight years ago, yet he still lives in fair health and in possession of his faculties.—Cor. New York Times. Juvenile Murderers Guillotined. Some little sensation was caused re cently by the execution, in front of the gate of La Roquette of two juvenile murderers, aged respectively 17 and 21. They had strangled an elderly concierge in broad daylight in the Rue Bonaparte, with a view to robbing her. President Carnot was dissuaded from sparing their lives, with a view to dispel a current but deep rooted impression among the youth of the dangerous classes that it is unlaw ful to guillotine “infants.” The one hardship in their case was that fifty-nine days were allowed to elapse between their sentence and execution, and the de lay encouraged them to hope for a com mutation of their punishment. They met their fate with courage.—Cor. Lon don Telegraph. “Shined** by Her Schoolmates. A story is current in regard to matters of recent occurrence at the young ladies’ seminary in Culpeper, Va. One of the girls accused another of stealing $1 .which the accused indignantly denied. During the night the accused girl, with some of her chums,, went to the room of the girl who made the accusation and demanded an apology, which was refused; where upon the girl whose character had been impeached,' aided by her friends, seized the offender, gagged and whipped her, and administered a coat of shoe polish. All the girls engaged in the escapade are daughters of highly respected people.— Charleston World. The Latest Hair Cut. What is the latest thing in a hair cat? I haven’t been officially notified of any deviation from the pompadour cut. But one of my men told me the other day that he had heard there was going to be a revolution in the cut. He said that the old fashioned cut was going to re turn. That is, straight across the back, the hair about the ears to be left thick and long and combed over on the tem ples—hooked over. That was the sort of cut your father had when he was court ing your mother. See? I don’t know where my man got that idea, but he is always getting an idea somewhere.—In terview in Chicago Tribune. • The Season Has Changed. On Saturday, April 13, two red tulips and one yellow one timidly unfolded their leaves in the big bed in City Hall park. On Saturday, April 20, every one of the thousands of other red and yellow tulips in the'bed had followed the exam ple, and the whole bed was a glorious blaze of color. Folks used to say that the tulips never blossomed in this lati tude until the first day of June, but we do those things better in these days.— New York Sun.
