SLEPT THIRTY ONE YEARS.

Leonora Ronmldo, tbe wife of a farm hand ut Vilireien-o, near BurgOß, l^pain, rtci'iiily awakened from a tiunce which had lasted thirty one years The case has been under the close observation of medical experts during the whole of that time, and by their instructions liquid food was regularly administered by a tube placed in the mouth of the sleeping woman. At times it was believed that the woman was waking, and various rueaus were employed to restore her to coDirCiou^ness, but they filled. She has now regained her sense 3, but cannot be persuaded that she has slept for years. A curious feature of the case is that she remembers the incidents of her girlhood up to the time that she fell into the trance. Her body is fairly veil nourished, but her hair has turnod white. On beidg shown a mirror the woman shrieked with horror, and declared tbat the image it reflected was not her own.
