    ASLEEP AS SHE WALKS.
' 4| OniuII; rroBounrpil Cam of Ioa<
naiuhallam In Denver.
Anna Rossman, a beautiful woman
About 32 years old, was found walking
the streets of Denver In a aomnsmbu
llatlo condition on a recent afternoon,
says the Rocky Mountain News. An
Italian fruit vender noticed the strange
conduct of the young lady neur the
corner of ltilh and Arapahoe streets.
She wnlked Into the drug store at the
mining exchange, the police were noti
fied and the patient was taken to her
home. The case Is a very peculiar one,
and has before been brought to the at
tention of the police department during
v- ’ the past two months. On account of the
family, all mention of the matter has,
until this time, been suppressed. It Is
evident, however, that the somnambu
listic tendencies of the unfortunate
woman have become chronic and the
peculiar features of the attack are at
tracting the attention of physicians.
Miss Rossman formerly lived in Pueb
... lo. There she attracted attention by
her strange performances, walking
about the streets apparently awake, but
really nsleep and totally unconscious
of where she was going. Removing to
Denver, the same conduct was contin
ued, and the family then went to Chey
enne. They again came to this city and
settled at the place wl\ere they now re
side. It is claimed by the friends of the
afflicted woman that she Is possessed of
supernatural powers, ■ Is gifted with
second sight, and that other strange
phenomena are within her control. In
these spells she would attract but little
attention wero It not for the fact that
she Is utterly oblivious of passing ob
jects and walks before carriages, street
cars and other vehicles with reckless
ness. Otherwise her appearance Is that
, of a person In possession of her normal
senses. A little over a month ago she
was found at the union depot, and
Yardmaster Pierce discovered that she
was .not aware of where she was. A
carriage was called, she was taken to
the police station, and afterward to her
home. Again on the 7th of March she
- was found In a similar condition at the
Qlenarm hotel. One day when Dr. John
son, the police surgeon, was In a res
taurant, Miss Rossman walked In and
the waiter thought that she was Intox
icated. Grasping the situation, Dr.
Johnson left his meal, took the patient’s
arm, and quietly walked with her to
her home. Miss Rossman being all the
While utterly oblivious of the notice she
was occasioning from bystanders. The
young lady had come from Cheyenne
Just before her latest sleep-walking ex
perience, and walked from the depot to
the place where It was found that she
Was still asleep. No Information could
be gained as to what she had been do
ing at Cheyenne or whether she had
made that trip In a somiiambullstlo
state. When the ambulance came to
the mining exchange Miss Rossman was
taken quietly to the conveyance and
realised nothing of the situation until
her home was reached. She then
awakened out of the deep sleep, but
gave no particulars as to her Budden ,
visit north. She Is a beautiful blond,
has the sympathy of all who know her
In the unusual affliction which has be
fallen a woman who Is said to be pos
sessed of a bright mind. When these
fits have passed away she knows noth
ing of what has transpired.
NOBILITY OF THE DONKEY.
is, II* Used to Be Classed Among the Brent
Ones.
The donkey, who rather undeserved
ly has come to be considered one of the
'‘naturals" of the animal world, was
dedicated by the ancients to Bacchus,
while the ass of Sllenus was raised to a
place among the stars. Apparently he
was a more Intellectual personage In
early days than he Is supposed to be at
present. Ammonlanus, the grammar
ian, possessed one who Invariably at
. tended his master's lectures on poetry,
and would oven leave the choicest
luncheon of thistles to do so. “Wicked
as a red ass” ran an old proverb, which
the Copts believed In so firmly that
every year they sacrificed an unhappy
animal of the detested color by hurling
It headlong from a wall. In an old
blaok letter translation of Albertus
Magnus the donkey figures In the fol
lowing extraordinary recipe: “Take an
adder'B skyn, and aurl plgmentum, and '
greeke pitch of reupirlticum, and the
waxe of newe bees, and the fat or
grease of an ass, and breake them all,
and put them all in a dull seething pot
full of water, and make It to seethe at
a glowe Are, and after let it waxe cold,
and make a taper, and every man that
shall see light of It shall seeme head
lesse.” Burton, in his “Anatomy of
- Melancholy,” mentions as a valuable
amulet, “a ring made of the hoofe of
an asse's right foot carried about.” A
tract written by a certain “A. B.” In
1695, entitled “The Noblenesse of the
Asse," Is exceedingly laudatory of that
excellent animal. “He refuseth no bur
■ den; he goes whlther.he is sent without
any contradiction. He lifts not his
■ . foote against anyone; he bytes not; he
Is no fugitive, nor malicious affeoted.
He doth all things in good sort, and to
his liking that hath cause to employ
him." But what chiefly nils the worthy
author with admiration is the donkey's
voice—his “goodly, sweet, and continu
all braylngs,” which form “a melodious
and proportionate kind of muslcke.”
Leaps of a Mountain Sheep.
No; the mountain sheep does not leap
from great heights, and land either up
on his horns or his feet. He knows the
strength of hts material too well to try
it His horns and skull might success
fully withstand the shock, but the
weight of his body would break his
spinal column in two or three places,
to say the least of It. It Is true that
. when hard pressed a herd will some
times plunge dswn a terribly steep in
cline, sliding and bounding from point
to point, until they plough Into the
•'slide-rock” below; but as to leaping
:*?; over a sheer precipice, I never saw any
one who even claimed to have ever wit
nessed such a thing, says an authority.
The old rams often light by butting each
other terrifically, and often splinter,
- or sometimes break oft the ends of their
horns In that way.
Shortness of Time,
We all of us complain of the shortness
of time, and yet have muoh more than
we know what to do with. Our lives
are spent either in doing nothing at all,
or In doing nothing to the purpose, or
.In doing nothing that we ought to do.
‘.We are always complaining that our
days are few, and acting as though
there would be no end of them.
EXTINCTION OF THE BISON.
Only Two Hundred Wild Buffalo Still
Alive In America.
In a wild state, the American bison,
or buffalo, Is practically, thought not
quite wholly, extinct. At the present
moment there are about two hundred
wild buffaloes alive and on foot In the
United States. To obtain these high
figures we Include the one hundred and
(Ifty Individuals that white head-hun
ters and red meat-hunters have thus
far left alive in the Yellowstone park,
posed to be protected from slaughter.
Hesldes these, there are only two other
bunches: one of about twenty head In
I.ost park, Colorado, protected by state
laws; and another, containing between
thirty and forty head. In Val Verda
county, TexaB, between Devil’s river
and the Itlo Grande. Four years ago
there were over three hundred head
In the Yellowstone park, thriving and
Increasing quite satisfactorily. Through
them we fondly hoped the species would
even yet be saved from absolute ex
tinction. But, alas! we were reckoning
without the poachers. Congress pro
vides pay for Just one solitary scout to
guard In winter 3,575 square miles of
rugged mountain country against the
horde of .-lawless white men and In
dians who surround the park on all
shies, eager to kill the last buffalo!
The poachers have been hard at work,
and as a result our park herd has re
cent ely decreased more than one
half In number. It Is a burning
shame that formerly, through lack of
congressional law adequately to punish
such poachers as the wretch who was
actually caught red-handed'ln January,
1894, while skinning seven dead buffa
loes! and now, through lack of a paltry
$1,800 a year to pay four more scouts,
the park buffaloes are all doomed to
certain and speedy destruction. Be
sides the placeB mentioned, there Is only
one other spot In till North America that
contains wild buffaloes. Immediately
southwestward of Great Slave lake
there lies a vast wilderness of swamps
and stunted pines, into which no white
man has ever penetrated far, and
where the red man still reigns supreme.
It Is bounded on the north by the Liard
and Mackenzie rivers, on the east by the
Slave river, on the south by the Peace
river, and on the west by the Rocky
mountains. Mr. Warburton Pike says
It Is now the greatest beaver country
In the world, and that It also contains
a few bands of the so-called wood
buffalo. "Sometimes they are heard of
at Forts Smith and Vermillion, some
times at Fort St. John, on the Peace
river, and occasionally at Fort Nelson,
on the Liard; . . . but It Is Impossi
ble to say anything about their num
bers." At all events, In February, 1890,
Mr. Pike found eight buffaloes only four
days* travel from Fort Resolution, on
Great Slave lake, and succeeded In kill
ing one. The Canadian authorities es
timate the total number In that region
at three hundred.
DANGER FROM LIGHTNING.
Ii It Incseased or Diminished by ths
Presence of Many Telegraph Vlra?
There is a somewhat widespread im
pression that the use of so much wire
for telephone and other electrical pur
poses in cities and towns largely in
creases the danger of lightning strokes.
The notion is based upon the concentra
tion within certain limits of a great
quantity of conducting material, which,
it is assumed, attracts the electricity
and thereby increases the danger of it.
While it is true that the increase of
conducting material increases the at
traction, it is not true that it Increases
the danger. As a matter of fact, it
decreases the danger, for the more sur
face electricity has over which to
spread, the more readily and qulckiy
it is carried to the earth. A house with
a metal roof is not often struck by
lightning, for, while the metal may at
tract the electricity, it also gives it
room to spread out, and its force is thus
dissipated. This fact was demonstrat
ed by Franklin with his kite long ago,
and lightning rods are put on buildings
to give storm clouds a means of dis
charging their electricity into the earth.
This discharge takes place without the
report that we call thunder, for elec
tricity makes no noise unless it meets
some resisting medium. It is a well
known fact that there is less danger
from lightning in cities than in the
country, and this is due to the general
use of iron, steel and other metals in
city buildings. The buildings are tall
and would seem, therefore, to be spe
cially attractive to the lightning; in
deed, they are often struck, but the
metal in them dissipates the force of
the fluid and carries it harmlessly and
quietly to the earth. The effect of tele
phone wires upon atmospheric electric
ity has been under official investiga
tion by the German department of
telegraphs, and statistics from 900 cit
ies show that the danger from lightning
strokes is four times as great in towns
that d° not have the telephone as in
those that have it. The conclusion of
the whole matter, therefore, is that an
abundance of wires gives protection
from lightning, instead of Increasing
the danger.
A Novelty in Bicycle*.
A novelty In bicycles went up Broad
way last week, says the Ngw York Sun.
A young colored man rode It and
showed off its fine points In a way that
attracted a great deal of attention. In
stead of being stationary the handle
bar could be moved backward and for
ward. Every time the rider pulled the
bar back the bicycle shot forward In a
way that showed that it had some sort
of a rowing machine attachment which
worked in conjunction with the pedals.
There were the ordinary pedals on the
bicycle, and the rider used these the
greater part of the time, but every now
and then when the rider got In a tick
lish position among the trucks, cable
cars and other vehicles he would give
the handle bar a yank backward and
the wheel would dart ahead.
Uses of the Lichen.
The lichen’s most important function
seems to be to beautify the landscape,
though some tiny ones are utilized by
mother humming bird to cover the out
side of her nest, in order to conceal It
as much as possible. In Iceland the I
lichen called Iceland moss is gathered
every year by the boys and girls. It Is
boiled in milk and eaten. Fanny Ber
gen, in her little book on “Plant life,” j
tells ns that the Indians guided them
selves through the trackless forests by
observing on which side of the trees the
> lichens grew thickest, those being the
'northern aides.
PRECIOUS STOKES.
\f Allan Considers an i.rorjr 8«ttlnf Prof*
Arabia to Gold and Mlror.
Tho study of precious atones has
suggested to the wife, of an export
and sometime collector an idea of
reformation in the setting of dia
monds. Whether it is practicable
is a question for jewelers. Tho pro
posal is that ivory should take the
place of gold or silver. All wearers
of diamonds are aware how trouble
some is the process of washing and
drying silver-set diamonds so as to
avoid the slightest tarnish, and a
gold sotting has the disadvantage of
causing so much reflection of its own
color as to render the whiteness of a
fine diamond difficult to guage. Hut
even more important would be the
gain of beauty, says the Pall Mall
Gazette. The brilliance of gold and
silver mar their charm as a setting
for transparent and sparkling stones,
though it makes them a good setting
for opaque stones and for pearls.
Ivory would give the gentle effect
that is now sought by setting dia
monds together with meroly semi
precious stones—a combination de
plorable to the expert Ivory would
have even more than the quieting
effect of cat’s-eye or chrysoprase,
and its thick warm whiteness by the
lucid and darting diamond would
make an effect of great refinement.
Perhaps a difficulty would bo found
in Its comparative fragility.
Of semi-precious stones none is
more lovely than the opal, with its
fiery rose and alteration of green and
blue that shame the peacock, while
by a change of pasture all these
starry ardors can be lost in a mllky
way of whiteness, as suits one’s mood.
Opal runs, much like a vein of mar
ble, through a mixture of brown
Ironstone. When the vein is seen to
bo thick enough to yield goodj>iecee
the ironstone is split and the opal
cut out. But a singularly beautiful
art is practiced by a German carver,
who leaves the matrix as a back
ground and cuts the opal lying at
tached to it, following the suggestions
of color and form after the well
known manner of a cameo. A cameo,
however, is opaque and mere brown
and white, whereas the opal is
translucent and full of color. A
dying aurora with a burning sun
rising Over the sea, a mermaid with
the rosy fire in her cheek and tho
peacock tints in her tail, birds stand
ing by ft pool in violet twilight, are
among the artist’s happiest carvings
to be seen at a mineralogist’s in
Regent street.
It is pleasant thus to follow an
opal to its home in nature. To do
this with some of the things of com
mon use is sometimes to get a new
idea of them. i.oathe patchouli as
you may—and it can hardly be
loathed too heartily—it must loose
half its vulgarity after you find that
it is not only a bad smell in the
Burlington arcade, but the Bimple,
unmixed and innocent breath of a
shrub whose leaf you may pinch in
an Italian garden. Patchouli green
and alive, out of doors, must nec
essarily make you more tolerant of
patchouli, betraying itself in “white
rose” inside a shop.
A Mute Actoik
Upon one occasion, an actor, who
rarely knew his part, deliberately
posed through an entire act of “Julius
Caesar," says the Amusement Globe,
and left the responsibility of the
scene upon the shoulders of his col
leagues. They managed to pull
through without him by incorporat
ing his lines into their own parts,
and when the curtain dropped, they
went in a body to the culprit’s dress
ing room. He was cahnly reading a
newspaper when the door was burst
open. “Well sir,” said the irate
star, “what do you mean by placing
us in such a predicament!'” “What
are you talking about?” said the
actor. “What am 1 talking about?
That scend sir.” “What was the
matter with it?” “Why. you nevei
once opened your mouth; didn't speak
a single line, sir.” “Didn’t, eh!
Well, by Jove! do you know it struck
me the scone hung Are.”
“I’m in a terrible dilemma,” said
Mickles to a friend at the office.
“What’s the matter?"
“My wife and I had been talking
economy this morning and she asked
me how much I paid for the cigars I
smoke. I ha l to pretend to be in a
frightful hurry to keep from talking
about it ”
“Why didn’t you answer her?”
“I was afraid to. If I told her
the truth she’d scold about the ex
travagance, and if I named a fictitious
price she might buy me some.”

A DISCONTENTED' GRANGER.
Neither Crop* Nor Children Turned Oat
Well—What He Envied.
A gentleman who was rusticating
in the northern part of Now Hamp
shire took a tramp among the hills
one day. In passing a hillside
farm ho saw an aged granger
hoeing a very stony potato field
near his house, and the gentleman
stopped to converse with him, says
the Boston Journal.
“Your potatoes seem to be doing
well,” he started in.
“Oh, I reckon I’ll hev a few perta
tors,” rejoined the farmer, dryly, as'
he stopped hoeing the rocks off the
vines and glanced at the stranger
curiously from under the wide rim of
his weather-beaten straw hat
“Other crops good?”
“Oh. the crops is toler’ble, as
usual, I s’pose,” replied the farmer,
indifferently, as he name up to the
rail fence, dragging his hoe after
him. ‘But I’ll tell yer jest how it
Is, squire, ” he continued confidential
ly. “I’m the most unfortunate ole
critter in Coos county.”
“Farming don’t pay very well up
here, I suppose?”
“Pay! Nothin’ pays me, squire,
but I did expect a leetle or suthen

A Grooin'a Predicament.
A bride tells of a difficult moment
M her recent wedding trip. A few
days of it were spent with an uncle
of hers, very deaf and very pious.
When they sat down to dinner on the
night of their arrival, with a consid
erable company ot relatives assem
bled to do them honor, the uncle ex
ploded a bombshell by asking the
groom to say grace- Much embar
rassed, as he was unaccustomed to
officiating in this way, he leaned for
ward, murmuring a request to be ex
cused. Wnereupon the uncle, watch
ing him, only waited until his lips
stopped moving to utter a sonorous
“Amen!” in response. It is hardly
necessary to add that not only did
the blessing for that meal go unsaid,
but also that the effort of everybody,
except the unde, to keep front
laughing quite took away the appe
tites for the first course.
