blows at the rate of forty miles an hour,
when the mercury Is between 30 and 40
degrees below aero, it seems colder than it
is. A light smart snap always brings out
a batch of stories.
John Pierce says that up In the Stevens
logging camp It stayed cold so long last

the trout dug Into the mud to save them

Finally he could stand It no longer and,
coming to a brook, he got out of hla sleigh,

got back Into the sleigh and drove along.
It wasn't many minutes before his whis

OFFICIAL JAPAN IS NOT NOW EXCITID
aa Fraaelse Islanders Make trwasT
Appeal to Native Ralera to Pro
test Against the Pend
ing" Lesrtslatioa.
TOKIO, Feb. I. (Afternoon) The pro
jected amendments to the American Immi
gration law Involving a restriction upon
Japanese labor Immigration to the United
States from the Hawaiian islands are nat
urally received here with great displeasure,
but the well-informed fall, under existing
circumstances, to find grounds for com
plaint at this action of the American gov
ernment The council of elder statesmen
and cabinet ministers today showed no con
cern whatever over the diplomatic situation.
Public opinion, however. Is decidedly op
posed to a solution of the San Francisco
school problem on the basis of the restric
tion of the admission of Japanese laborers
Into the United States. No official state
ment has yet been made on this subject
and the correspondent of ths Press was
unable today, owing to the fact that It is
a holiday, to Interview the officials most
concerned. It Is generally admitted, how
ever, that a solution on the basis men
tioned will arouse strong opposition
throughout the Japanese empire.
Bltnatloa Hot Understood,
The relations between the federal gov
ernment at Washington and the govern
ments of the Various states of the union
are not well understood here and a re
striction of the admission In the face of
the treatment of which the Japanese in
San "Francisco complain. The limited few
who are well posted on the actual state
of affairs are not excited and even they
do not see why the San Francisco school
difficulty could not be solved apart from
the labor question. An appeal couched In
strong words has been cabled from the
Japanese In Ban Francisco asking for na
tional support against solving the San Fran
cisco affair by restricting the admission
of laborers Into the United States. In
view of the state of public feeling here It
would not be surprising If the Japanese
government did not agree to a settlement
on the basis of the restriction of the Immi
gration of Japanese to the United States.
Mayor gphmlts Talks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. H. "The California
delegation, which came here to confer with
the president on the Japanese question, hots
not conceded any of Its rights. ' State
sovereignty was absolutely Insisted upon,"
declared Mayor Schmltx of 8an Francisco,
tcday. Yet, he said, a complete agreement
had been reached on all points of difference,
the ..nly thing remaining to be done being
the incorporation by congress of the ex
clusion amendment Into the Immigration
bill. This, it la expected, will be done by
the senate today. As the matter stands
now, he said, all parties will be satisfied.
Mayor Bchmlts, however, said that there
wer some features of the case which had
not been touched upon by the press, but
these could not be disclosed until It was
an established fact that the exclusion
amendment had passed. He declared that
the discussion with the president took tho
form of an endeavor to arrive at a mlddlo
ground and this he said, had been done.
"State rights were strongly adhered to,"
he said, "and in this connection he
reiterated his declaration made yesterday
that there had never been considered any
proposition looking to the establishment
of separate Japanese school a There wns
no Intention, he said, to abolish the Oriental
school which Orientals, Asiatics and Mon
golians had been In the habit of attending
for the past twenty years."
Pleased with Conference.
He said further that the conferences of
the school board and himself with the
president and Becreta'ry Root had . no
relation whatever to any thing this gov
ernment might do In the way of negotiating
a new treaty with Japan. The present
treaty, he said, would not expire for five
years, but nevertheless the school board
had come here In a friendly spirit In the,
expectation of adjusting matters satisfac
torily to all concerned and yet wlthcut
surrendering any of California's rights and
this he declared had been accomplished.
The agreement between the California com
mittee and the president had been drawn
up ready for signature and as soon as the
exclusion amendment passes the senate it
will be made public. x-

FOOD QUESTION
ettled With Perfect Satisfaction
by a Dysoeptlo.
It'a not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of -the family at meal time
as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspepsia
and can't eat the simplest ordinary food
without causing trouble, the food ques
tion becomes doubly annoying.
An 111. woman writes:
"My husband's health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything I could get
for him, it seemed. .
"He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as soon
as he would feel better would go to work
again only to give up in a few weeks.
He suffered severely with stomach
trouble.
"Tired fit everything I had been able
to get for him to eat, one day seeing an
advertisement about Orape-Nuta, I got
some for him to try for breakfast the
next morning.
W all thought It was pretty good
although we had no Idea of using It
regularly. But when my husband canvn
home at night ha naked for flrape-Nuts.
'It was the same next day and I had
tp get It right along, because when we
would get to ths table the question, 'Have
you any Grape-Nuts' was a regular riling.
So I began to buy U by the doxan pkgs-
Tdy husband's health began to Improve
right along. I sometimes felt offended
when I'd make something I thought he
would ilka for a change, and still hear
the same old question, 'Have you any
Grape-Nuts?"

years ha has hardly lost a day from his
work, and we are still using Grape-Nuts. "

RIP VAN WINKLES IN LIFE
Many People Who Hare Biraled the
Outcast of the Catakilli,
DOCTORS PUZZLED BY LONG SLEEPS
Strnnare Tases In Flesh and Blood
Reported from AH Parts of
the World Peculiar
ities Noted.
Possibly the closest rival that nip Van
Winkle has had In flesh and blood Is Her
srhell Orlder, who, at Rowena, Ky., Is
calmly enjoying; a nap which began twelve
yenrs airo.
When he went to Bleep orie flay It was not
because of a convivial encounter with
gnomes of the wood, nor was his slumber
attended by any unusual circumstance. He
simply arose from the dinner table,
stretched his arms, yawned and casually
remarked that he guessed he'd go and lie
down for about ten minutes. But it ap
pears tht his conception of a minute was
all wrong.
Fed liquid nourishment twice a day, he
holds his own physically, his limbs remain
supple; he seems In no danger of dying
soon.
His Is but another strange case of pro
longed elpep, a queer malady, which, in
various forms, has puisled the best physi
cians of modern times. While history
seems to show no other continuous nap of
the same duration, there are others as re
markable in some respects.
Many Chnnirea Noted.
It would be an odd thing for a man to
lose a dozen years out of his Ufa
Think what It would mean to him. When
he went to sleep Orover Cleveland was
president of the United States. How could
he grasp the fact that In the meantime a
president had been assassinated and that
another has taken his place?
For the sake or popular interest, if not
of science. It would be Interesting to see
aged Mr. Orlder awake, but the physicians
say it Is quite unlikely that he ever will,
unless he should experience a brief con
sciousness preceding death.
Seldom have victims of prolonged sleep
ing been awakened. In Africa some mys
terious element in the atmosphere or vege
tation, spread by the bite of a fly, causes
what Is called "sleeping sickness."
In once instance recently In the United
States a man did awake after a three
months' sleep and what he told about bla
experience In the Land of Nod will prove
of interest to science. He was William
Schnable, 36 years old, who returned to his
home In Philadelphia after having been
Injured on the head at Denver and a few
days afterward fell into his long sleep.
When he awoke in the Philadelphia hos
pital he asked the nurse confusedly. "la It
too late to go to work?" After a while he
recalled many things that had occurred
during hla nap, but was unable to separate
the actualities from bis dreams.
In another instance, reported by Dr. Scull.
a specialist on the brain, a man of 27
awoke after having been asleep fifteen
months. The first emotion he betrsyed was
anxiety about a field of oats which was
Just sprouting when ha went to sleep. He
was greatly astonished to learn that the
oats had been harvested and the same field
was then knee deep with corn. After coming
out of hla aleep he grew rapidly worse with
phthisic and died In eighteen months.
Nap Lasted Months.
The University of Pennsylvania hospital
In Philadelphia some yeara aTo furnished
a curious case, that of Clara Gilchrist, a
victim of hysteria, who took a nap luting
several months. (The was finally aroused
by being beaten with wet towels and soon
afterward returned to ber home In Ireland
apparently well.
The form of sleeping most often encoun
tered In America Is not associated by physi
cians with the. African malady. It is be
lieved to be caused usually by a secretion In
the kidneys which gets Into the Mood and
by acting on the white corpuscle creates
somnolence.
An Interesting case la that of a patient
who took nourishment, even sitting up In
bed occasionally to drink a cup of coffee.
But throughout It all there was no awaken
ing. en where no especial effects are noticed
It Is not uncommon for a person so afflicted
to fail asleep In a chair or even standing; up
at frequent Intervals. In this respect Mrk
wtck's fat boy was no visionary character.
When t'e trouble takes the form of pro
longed sotnnulecce It la attended by tniereit.
Uig phenomena. Tickling of Uhe feet, apply
ing electricity, thrusting aeadlea Into tbm
flesh to the bone and sound shaking have no
effect whatever.
The. patients can usually hear and can
respond to suggestions, though apparently
Insensible to painful Impressions, and do
not appear to smell, taste or see.
The eyes are sometimes closed, sometimes
opened; the pupils are turned backward
and contracted as In normal sleep.
i Usually the Jaws are Bet so firmly that It
Is necessary to extract a tooth. If one be
not missing. In order to apply liquid nour
ishment. At times, however, a rubber tube
Is Inserted in the patient's nostrils, which
serves the same purpose.
That eminent physician and literary man
Dr. 8. Wler Mitchell of Philadelphia has
taken part in the Investigation of eighteen
cases of protracted sleep, the longest last
ing six months. All of these persons were
under middle age.
Hemarkable . Cases Reported
Eight of the patients recovered easily and
completely, two recovered with loss of In
tellect, one fell a victim of apoplexy four
months after recovery, one recovered with
Insomnia as a sequel and four died In
Bleep. I
One recovered after atx months of con
tinuous slumber and resumed the train of
conversation where he had been Interrupted
by the nap.
Fright has been known to cause pro
longed sleeping. A case In point Is that of
a woman of 45, a seamstress, who after
having undergone a narrow escape from
death in a gale fell Into a sleep which
lasted till death.
Dr. Jones of New Orleans related a case
of a girl of 27 who had been asleep for
eighteen years, only waking at regular In
tervals and remaining awake for not more
than ten minutes at a time. The sleep
began when she was 9 years old, after she
had taken repeated doees of quinine and
morphine. Her case waa especially peculiar
in that her periods of waking were regular
and uniform. 8he would wake at 6 a. m.
and every hour thereafter until noon;
again at 8 o'clock; again at sunset; next
at o'clock, and once or twice thereafter
before morning.
A Spanish soldier in the military hospi
tal at San Ambrosio, Cuba, remained in a
cataleptic state for fourteen months. Hla
body would, like a Jointed doll's, remain In
any position in which It waa placed.
Maria Cvetskens, a maiden of Stevene
werth, Holland, waa asleep for 220 days
In 1K96. Her case puzxled hundreds ot phy
sicians. It was agreed that there could be
absolutely no deception. The parents of
the girl were eminently respectable and
never tried to profit by her unnatural
state.
From France comes an Instance of a
girl who slept four years.
There is a record In medical works on
this subject of a man near Rochester,
N. Y., who slept five years, never waking
more than sixteen hours at a time, and
that only at intervals of six weeks or
more, when soiled by the trance ha
weighed 160 pounds, and he dwindled to
ninety pounds. No treatment availed; ha
died.
Dr. Baludet, a French specialist In nerva
and brain diseases, la authority1 for In
formation relating to a girl who fell aaleep
the day after her marriage In her twen
tieth year, and slept for fifty days. Four
years later she sgaln became InaenslMa
and remained so for twelve months, with
the exception of one day, when she arose,
ate dinner with her husband and again
lapsed Into what proved a sleep of death.
During her first sleep It was necessary t
pull a tooth In order to give her nourish
ment, but this ordeal never disturbed her
slumbers. Chicago Chronicle. ,
