Man in New Jersey Has Been Awake
for Ten Years.
How is that some persons want

problem, solution Of which might
prove of vast benefit to humankind.
am reminded of the Importance OF
the subject by a case to which my at

has not slept a wink for ten years,

New York Herald's correspondent, Is
borne out by the physicians who nave

| "Such dainty little limbs" said the
woman who had run about the place
neryously trying to do everything and
had accomplished but little.
"But look what pretty features and
sweet lips," said the one who had
nursed the child to sleep, with an air
OF superiority.
The child did not exceed one month
in age. 1t was probably younger. Its
light hair, fair skin and pretty blue
eyes even at so young an age showed
that ii was born beauty. Still Its
features we're much like those Of the
Finlanders, SO many Of whom had set
tied along the Columbia in the fishing
districts.
"They think the old man lie dying, "
said one of the women in a whisper
who had been watching the men work
with the aged sufferer.
"Oh, such a pity" remarked the
women in subdued chorus.

been talking with her husband on the
outside. "But the officers will ravel

remembered the details OF the episode
as given her by her husband.
Then there was a commotion out

from the sand spit. He had brought
news of the arrival Of officers at the
scene of the wreck.
"Old Seadog and his boys are all un.

LEGACY NOT ALL A BLESSING.
Italian lnheriss rhlrtyfour Cents and

Italian ihherits fhirty-four CentS eho
Pays SIX Dollars In Fees.
In Italy. it appears to be q somewhat
expensive affaif to inherit money, that
is, if it be d small sum. Not long ago
a young man died in the little town
OF Romagna, who left one lira fifty
eight centesimi, or not quite thirty
four cents. This Bum, which had been
deposited IN the PostofHce Savings
Bank, became the property Of the
young mans father. AS the amount
was so small the father thought it
unnecessary to make a declaration OF
the legacy as the law prescribes, es-
pecially. as the stamped paper on
which the declaration must be made
would cost about twenty-five centes-
imi more than the money involved.
Z Three months afterward he received
demand from the local state treas
ury for the payment Of fourteen lire
forty-eight centesimi-nearly three
dollars. Thinking mistake had been
made, he took no notice Of this de-
mand. with the result that later an
official called upon him and demanded
the immediate payment Of eighteen
lire-three dollars and a half. The
father had not sufficient money in
hand so the official took possession Of
the mans furniture. The cost of this
seizure brought the total sum to thir-
ty lire, over six dollars, which the poor
man had to pay that same evening to
avoid the sale Of his goods by auction.

The Baltic Fleet.

ST Petersburg, BY Cable.-The re-
port that he Baltic fleet is to leave
Libeau Thursday for the far East is
incorrect. Some Of the ships are just
going into commission, and those being
completed cannot be finished before
July. The reports may be attributable
to the fact that some school ships are
going out to train the naval reserves.
The battleship Boredino left the admir-
atty works for Croonstadt, to receive
her armor and heavy guns.
The admiralty is giving earnest con-
sideration to all questions in connec-
ton with the dispatch in July of the
Baltic fleet to the. far East Vice Ad-
miral Rofensentsky, who would COM
mand It, and Rear Admiral Wiernus
have been In consultation. Admiral
Rojesvensky originally favored the
Cape Of Good Hone route, but it Is
more probable now that colliers and
supply ships, we'll protected. will go
by that route and that the battleships
and torpedo boats will pass through
the Suez Canal. The two divisions
will rendezvous in the Indian Ocean.

Malay Clay Eaters.

Consumption of earth as food is
common not only in China, New Gale
donia and New Guinea, but in the
Malay Archipelago as well. The testi-
mony of many travellers in the Orient
Is that the yellow races are especially
addicted to the practice. In Java and
Sumatra the clay used undergoes a
preliminary preparation, being mixed
with water, reduced to paste and the
sand and other hard substances re
moved. The clay is then formed into
small cakes or tablets about as thick
as lead pencil and baked IL an iron
saucepan. When the tablet emerges
from this process it resembles piece
of dried pork. The Javanese frequent
iy eat small figures roughly modelled
from clay, which resembles animals
or little men turned out in pastry
shops.

Ancient Water Works.

her more than six centuries ownership

the Oldest in Britain. Amicia, Countess
of Devon, built thom in 124O. and pre-
sented them to Tiverton. The water is
brought from the moors five miles
away, and the works arc still In con-
tinpbus use. Once year they are in
speGted by the manorial and municipal
authorities, and proclamation is made
that the water is for the sole use OF
Tiverton. Southampton water works
also date from the thirteenth century.
They were built by the monks in 1890

rights in the springs conduit and pipes

THEATTEMPT FAILED
Bold Scheme to Blow Up a BattIeship
With Dynamite Bomb
THE CULpRIT HANGED HIMSELF
Sensational Story Afloat at cronstadt
of the Actions of Stranger on the
Alexander III.

Cronstadt, BY Cable.-A sensational
story is afloat here of an attempt to
destroy the battleship Alexander Ill.
According to the reports sailor saw
a stranger, wearing the uniform of an
officer, going down into the engine
room of the battleship, followed him
and saw the stranger attaching some
thing connected with wire to the dy-
namos. After the stranger left the
sailor examined the attachment and
found it to be a bomb. The sailor at
once cut the wires, ran up on deck
to tell what had happened, and found
that the stranger had hanged himself.
The crew of the Alexander III, it is
added, were instructed not to speak of
the occurrence, and it is said that the
stranger was mad man or member
of some revolutionary organization to
whose. lot it had fallen to blow up the
Alexander III.

DAIRY NOTES.

AS the water in the tub cools add
hot water.
The taste Of the butter will be like
the cream.
If cream is oversour it imparts
sour milk taste to the butter.
Fresh made butter in the winter
stands at the head Of the market.
If the cream is overheated the but
ter will be greasy and poor in quality.
You cannot raise your cream in the
kitchen pantry and make gllt-edge but
ter.
Never put hot water in the cream to
get it to the right temperature to
churn.
If held longer there is danger Of a
bitter taste being developed as we'll as
rancidity.
It will taste of everything that has
been cooked and be unsatisfactory in
every way.
Don't say if your butter is bad that
it is your luck. Rather realize that it
is your poor management.
1t must be stirred all the time to pre-
vent the cream at the sides Of the pail
from getting too heated and cheesy.
Put the cream pail in tub Of very
warm water and stir constantly until
the cream is at the right temperature.
If the cream has been ripened and is
not too old, there will be no trouble
in getting good butter in cold weather.
Cream to make perfect butter should
not be held more than from twenty
four to thirty-six hours from first to
last.
Scald the churn thoroughly so it is
warmed through, and dash a little cold
water all around it so the cream will
not stick.

a STRANGE EXPOSITION.

A celebrated doctor in Rheims,
while visiting, patient and listening
to- his troubles, put his hand In his
pocket and mechanically rubbed to-
gether some pastiles which were there.
Suddenly. slight explosion took place
and at the same time The doctor expe-
rienced sharp pain in his hand. Upon
examination he found that the bot
tom of his pocket was burned out and
that his under linen was much
scorched, while one Of his fingers was
also injured.
He remembered that he had carried
in his pocket for some days two pas
tiles containing chlorate of'potash and
one pastile containing chlorate of
sugar. The last named was broken
into III e pieces, while Of the potash
pastilesy one was intact but no trace
could be found Of the other. 1t seems
that the doctor had rubbed the chic
rate of potash pastile against the
chlorate Of sugar pastile and that at
the point of contact small quantity
of explosive powder had been formed.
This had ignited, with the result that
the chlorate of potash pastile had been
instantly decomposed.

about two inches of the top Of the CEN
tire crosspiece. Then boards are cut
and fitted in the shape of door for
the upper part. Two one by six inch
boards will serve for cleats. The cor.
ners are then cut so that they will not
interfere with the hanger. The door
is then placed and hung by two fiat
hinges, and the upper side is fitted
with a spring catch having a small
chain attached to unfasten with. 1t
