A Good Sleeper.

Little Jesse Stritt. of Saymour (Indiana), is asleep again . Eighteen months ago he startled the medical fraternity by his constant sleep of twenty-one days. From this sleep (says a Columbus correspondent, under date July 18) he rallied and imparted the information to his parents that he had been in heaven, from which place he looked down upon his father while engaged at work in Illionis. He related the exact work in which has father was engaged in an adjoining state while he was asleep. For four months after this awakening he was natural in his sleep and gained much strength. Some six months ago he informed his mother that he was again going to sleep, and notwithstanding all efforts to keep him awake he fell asleep, from which he was not aroused for seven days. During all of this time he neither ate nor drank anything. Arousing from this nap, whioh is now called his short one, he again became natural in his habits and grew very rapidly. »bout 11 o'clock yesterday he entered a store and sank upon the floor, f-ince that time he has been in a profound sleep. He is very pale, breathes regularly with natural pulsations, and has not the slightest indications of fever or pain.
