Quick WoRK II CoAT MAKING-
In 1911. Sir John Throckmorton. Z
Berkshire Baronet, offered to Law a
wager of a thousand guincas to the fol
lowing effect: That at eight o'clock OF
a particular evening, he would sit down
to dinner In wellmade up snt. the
wool Of which formed the fleece on
the Sleeps backs at five o'clock on
that same morning. Itvas 10 wonder
that among q class Of persons accas-
toned 70 betting, such a wager should
be eagerly accepted, seeing that the
achievement Of the challenged result
appeared all but impossible. Mr.. Cox
etter, Of Greenham Mills. at Newberrv,
was entrusted with the work. At five
o'clock in the morning, on the 2oth day
Of June, he caused two SoutLdown
sheep to be shorn. The wool was
washed, carded, royed, spun and woven;
the cloth was secured, fuliod, tented.
raised, sleared, dyed and dressed; the
tailor was at hand, and made up and
finished the cloth into garments and
at a quarter past SIX in the evening,
Sir John TArockmorton sat down to
dinner. at the head Of lis guests, in a
complete damask-color.d suit that had
been thus made-winning the wager,
with all hour and thrcc-quarters to
spare: Of course, every possible pre-
paration was made beforehand; but
still the achievement was sufficiently re-
markable, and was long talked Of with
pride among the clothiers.

on board, during the evening, alighting
In one of the boats. A seaman obsery-
ing the stranger, at once approached
and seized him, but the eagle struggled
and fought braycly, and it required all
the power of the sailor to capture him.
lie was secured and kept on board for
several days, but as his food did not
agree with him, and he appeared likely
TO die, Capt. S. looscl him and let him

sight, but soon returned and commcnc-
ed flying in circles round and round the
ship, till he aliehtod and was again Sc
carcd. Wild binds and fish we're then
caught for him, which he grecdily de
yourcd, showing that these were his ac-
customed food, on which he thriycd and
was brought into port. He has been
taken to the American Hospital, where
he will find 4 home, food and shelter,
as long as his old guardian and patron,
Uncle Sam, continues to provide for
