For the first seven days the seenptoms
were not very remarkable, After this
period be was c011)pellod to drielt water
to relieve his raging thirst, and after
lingering on in terrible agony he died
in o0nvialsions on the fifty-eighth day.
The case is reported by Van SttWen.
There is no doubt as to its truth, and it
'shows that np to the present, at any

'perhaps, that reported by Dr. Sloane
of Ayr; "A man, some 65 years of
age, of a spare habit of body, and un•

became nretble to move and hall an
fortunately fatten some distance from
thy- water. 1n thin. instance, Dr.
Sloane thinks that an impure atmos•

.night tend to slightly prolong life an -
der eir•oumstances of pri$ittion. The
nr?•happy man died on the third day
after his removal." In 1866 eiept

58 days iu an often boat withont food
or water. Io contrived, however., to
drink as much rain as he eunld 'e•)lleot
and it is possible, of cuursn, that he
may have chewed fragments of his
clothes. Thus, then, so far as ascer-
tained oases go, life has actually, au
one occasion, been sustained for fifty-
eight days without food, but not with-
out water..
Referring to cranes which occurred

Donovan says ; "Thee described the

flow seldom is this fact considered by

of it which relates to the purity of the

not only to ourselves, but to our do-

PUT'TIN:1 JOHN IN.
The trial of an artist who under-
takes to paiut a picture "to order" are
many and vexatious. it is related of
a well known portrait painter that he
received an order to paiut a "family
group." The family was large and the
happy heard of it wonted them a/I in
eluded. After many consultations and
weary intervie.vs a3 to sittiuge, the
order was finally given and the artist
breathed freer, but hardly had he ord-
ered the canvas befor the paterf unities
arrived bleaahless at the studio, aud
auuounced that he had "forgot al.
about 01111."
'Well,' said the weary artist, 'and
who is Juhu ?'
'Aly sou, Julia,' said the patron, 'as
went to the war. 1 want ilio. put in
picture.'
The artist proposed that John be
sent to the studio fur n sittiug,to which
the patron of arts responded:
'Nell, 1 forgot to tell you John's
dead.' Despite the gravity of the in-
formation, the pnivfet smiled and ask-
ed the father to tiring a pho(ograpb or
anything that would giue him ,an idea
of hie lust sou's retnoual appearance.
'John's' psrest scratched his heart
stud said he wou:d go home and tell
'mother.'
13efore the artist had lighted his aft-
er -breakfast cigar the next morning,
the fond father made his appearance
accompanied by ,+ big buuclle. which,
being laurelled, displayed to the eaten.
idled eye of the artist an old pair of
blue trousers.
'Mother said she couldn't find no
photograph or uothia' of Jahn,' said
the perplexed parent, 'but she run agin
his old army pants and tbonght they
might give you an idea, and you could
put Juhu in uniform.'
