THE TAIERI FASTING GIRL.
A ‘Bruce Herald’ reporter saw Miss •loss two days ago, and thus writes 6f her: I found Miss Boss in bed, suffering, butpatiently resigned to her fate. She told* toe chat she was suffering much from toothache : and I was informed by her mother that sometimes she endured the most excruciating agony, but when the paroxysm was passed she had the same smile and patient endurance that she has shown since the commencement of her illness. She also informed me that she compelled herself to swallow a small amouqt of food, but her principal subsistence was milk Andtea.' Shb was able to take note of the weather, and though debarred from enjoying it, could fully appreciate both the glorious sunshine and the warm air of a glorious morning. She can only converse in a whisper.”
