A GIRL'S SIX HONTIlle' TRANCE. Curious Case of Catalepsy in the County Cavan, Ireland. A remarkable case of catalepsy, of which a young woman of about 19 years of age ie the subject, is reported in the Freeman's Journal. In a lonely glen in the County Cavan a widow named Mrs. Anne Kavanagh and her only daughter live. They are of the very poorest degree, and their abode is a miserable °thin. The daughter can hardly be said to Iive, for since last New Year's Day she has been lying epeechlese and lethargic, like one more dead than alive. The girl 15 described as being consump- tive, although previous- to the 1st of January she was in good health, a well- built and handsome young wootan. Two of her brothers died of consumption. Her present seiaure. it is mated, was ushered in by prolonged h}sterlcai fits, accompanied by delusions. Oe New Year's Day she stiffened into a trance, which, with alight dthepresent. variations has lasts upto h Though rigid, speechless, and (sivfor the respiration) motionless and corpse -like, she was able in the earlier weeks to stir a finger or twitch her eyelids when spoken to. Then the lethargy deepened into a state of absolute immobility lasting eix weeks, dar- ing which not a morsel of food passed her lips.

FIVE STATES OUT OF DEBT. But the lllnniclpallties Have Pilled Up Great Burdens. Five States—Iowa, Vermont, Michigan, Wieconein and Illinois—have no interest- bearing debt, and there are six or seven other States whose bonded debts are mere bagatelles, says the Cincinnati Times -Star. Among the number are New Jersey, Nebraska, Reutucky and California. In a current news paragraph, which con- tains the above information, it is said that " exclusive of the South the States of the Union are generally free from debt," and that " the artnnoe interest charge of all the States collectively is less than that of a single railroad, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe." To a foreigner, or any one else not familiar with the Sante, this would convey, bhe impreeeton that the Americans bear air extremely light burden of debt. Such an idea would be somewhat modi- fied, however, by the knowledge that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe pays interest on $500,000,000 er more, the annual interest charge exceeding $25,000,000—almost as much as the entire interest charge of bhe Federal Government. It be true that bhe State debts outside of the South are small, yet the. aggregate is far from being a trifle. The Southern States have a bonded indebtedness of $144,000,000 in round numbers. The total bonded indebtedness of all the States in 1890 was $224,000,000, on which the annual interest charge was $10,000,000. The total bonded debt of the States is about one-third of theonal Nott interest-bearing debt. The people of this country would have good reason to coneider themselves especl. ally bleat in the matter of taxation for interest on public debts if bhey had nothing more to pay than the interest on the National and State bonded indebtedness. It is the local burdens that weigh heavily upon their shoulders, and, although these debts may be leas onerous than those borne in other countries, they are nob to be dis- missed as matters of no great importance, as may be done in the case of State debts. The aggregate of county and municipal indebtedness in 1890 was about $999,000,- 000—nearly $280,000,000 more than the bonded debt of the United States. Of this vaso amount about $846,000,000 was upon municipelitioa and $144,000,000 upon counties. It has been frequently said that Ohio heads the list of the States in the amount of local indebtedueee. The oenene figures of 1890 do not confirm this assertion. The county and municipal indebted- ness of Ohio in the °ensue year waa a tittle more than $66,000,000, of which $59,000,000 rested upon muniotpali- tiee. Pennsylvania had $91,000,000 of local debts, Masse.chusetta $99,000,000 and New York $244,000,000 If the local bonded indebtedness of the various States was disappearing as rapidly as is the debt of the United States, there would be ample cause for congratulation. But it has been fast inoroasing for many years, and in the proceedings of the Legis- latures that recently adjourned there was nothing to show that the reeklees dis aosition for hon in u looal burdens had bated.

In bhe anorning drain off the water that will have formed, rine° the rinds in cold water, and cook them in it steamer until a broom splint will readily pierce them. Cooking the rinds by abeam is an easy method, as they are less liable to burn than when cooked in the spiced vinegar. When the rinds are tender, take them out carefully with a skimmer, and put them into a atone jar. Take good older vinegar for the basis of the pickle. Allow a pound of sugar to e pint of vinegar, and add also half an canoe of stick cinnamon broken into inch piecee, and a half teaspoonful each of whole cloves and blades of maoo. The whole amount of vinegar, sugar, and spices used meet of couree depend on the quantity of rinds to be pickled, but a quare of vinegar is usually suifioient for the rinds of a medium-sized melon. Boil the villager, sugar, and spices together vigorously half an hour, skimming off tho froth, and pear the pickle boiling hob over the rinds. Press the rinds down under the pickle by means of an earthen pieta or saucer, fasten the cover on, and tie a cloth over the whole. These pickles will be ready for use in two weeks.—Harper's Bazar. [NON•etIRINBABLE WOOD. Borneo Timber Whose Shape is Unaffected by Water. It ie rather difficult for one to accept suddenly the idea of a timber that is unaffected by water as far as dlmenalons are concerned, yet " btllian," a wood that grows plentifully on the Island of Borneo, has just such a oharacterieblo. Neither when absorbing water nor when evaporat- ing it is the eine of a stick of this timber chsnged. The wood is famous in Borneo for ite strength and durability, both on sea and land.

Penguins are the strangest creatures ever seen. They are supremely funny as they quack and strut about wibh their padded feet over the snow, or, coming to a slope, glide swiftly downward, toboggan -fashion, upon their breasts. If one lands on the piece of ioe they are resting upon, they ap- proach fearlesely with a threatening " Quack ! quack !" For their inqulsitive- neee they, too, often received the handle of the club, for it was soon found that their flesh greatly resembled that of the hare,and upon them we had many a tasty and enb- etanbial meal. The emperor penguin is very diffioulb to kill ; he will live after his skull has been moat hopelessly smashed ; the beet way to pub an end to them is to pith them.

Physicians explain in an interesting fashion the fact that the electric currenb, when applied to the tongue, seems to taste sour. The gustatory or testing nerves, according to the doctors, are industrious and well-meaning little things, and, albhongh it is not their business to take cognizance of any impreeeton made by touch, they do their best to look after anything that hap- pens to come in their way. Thus, when subjected to the electric current, they tele- graph the fact in their own language to the brain, and, as if their language is exclusive- ly that of taste, they inform the brain that the electric current is sour. The ordinary, unscientific citizen, having confidence in the stories told by hie gustatory nerves, really believes that the electric current has an acid tanto. Purified Water.

The water stands 12 inches deep over the top layer. From 430,000 to 720,000 gallons of water are filtered a day, a000cdtng to the " Builder," which corresponds to a rate of from 2 to 3,1 inches an hour.

Gorby, presents in the E4'egeneeri Magazine the latent oenolneions of eoieno regarding the origin of natural gas, inolu ing the evidences of a iimibod supply. I permanency, he says, depends largely apo„ the u98 made of it. For the past sigh years it has been extravagantly and foo lshly wasted. For a period of nearly on year there waa a deity waste in the. State Indiana alone of more than 100,000,00 cubic feet. The daily lune to the people Indiana on account of this enormous was was more than $10,000. It is estimated tha 30,000 oubi°feet of gas in thelndfanafieldi equal to a ton of the best opal in stoves furne,oee. Coal delivered in the ',Aiming fields is worth $3.25 per ton. It is not a extravagant statement to assert that tit cash value of nabural gas wasted in Indlau theca ite discovery would be more the $20,000,000 —an amount greater by far the the total amount invested iu bluets fields o acoeunt of cheap fuel. The waste is sti going on at the rate of 25,000,000 cubic fe daily. Hundreds of flambeaus, consumin on an average 2,000 cubic feet of gee pe hour, have been allowed to burn day an night, without interruption, ever since th beginning of developments in the gem are Hundreds of unprofitable wells are no plugged, bub left wide open and the g allowed to escape into the air. This espeoially true of the section of th field where petroleum fe fouled i coaneotion' with gas. Scores of isolate walls bhsb have been drilled fo oil yielded gas in large quantities, but the aro not connected with pipe lines and the o le saved, bub the gas permitted to waste. Reckless extravagance also prevails mn th use of gas, both in factories and privet houses. Gas in the Indiana field is not se' by measure, but it is supplied for factorle or domestic purposes at 0 fixed price ps month. It makes no difference whothe much or little is consumed, the price is th same. It costs no more to continue the fire twenty-four hours in the day than it doe one hour. With this state of thing exist ing the consumer has no inberesb in pewit's ing economy. Fires are allowed to bur continually in unoccupied rooms and unuse furnaces, without regard to the vola of the fuel conenmed. If gas wee sold by measure for all parposea, can =mere especially would practice economy The statement may seem extravagant, bu ib is doubtless true that ab toaet 40 per cent of the gas consumed in the Indiana field factories, dwellings, etc., is actually wasted But one result can follow this exbrava Bance, and that is a quick exhaustion of th field. A final exhaustion is inevitable un der any circumstances, but the profligate that now prevails is destroying the field a a two fold ratio. With economy in ire us natural gas will bring capital and prosperit to the field for years to come, but the quid exhaustion than will surely follow the ex treme prodigality of the past few years wil necessarily result in the abandonment of th field to a certain extent for manufaoturin purposes.
