FLY DID THE WORK
APPARENTLY ONLY THING THAT
COULD AROUSE sLEEpER u
Ordinary Noises Of Household and
Terrific Thunderstorm Brown Slept
Through, But insect Would >
Not Be Denied.

Brown had forgotten to tell the
family that he intended to sleep late
in the morning. He had come in
tired and weary during the wee
sma' hours and was determined to
get his full nights rest If he stayed
in bed all day.
About half past 5 o'clock the maid
got up and through some perversity
Of fate, started to scour her pots and
pans But hard and harsh as the
sound was It merely entered Browns
dreams as from great distance. He
sighed and turned over and, while
the goddess of the kitchen was still
!. banging away at her pans. he sank
once more back into deep, peaceful
slumber.
At 6 o'clock the Brown baby awoke
with sputtering vail. Mrs. Brown
got up and attempted to quiet him,
but he only yelled the louder. The
baby had the collie! Somebody shook
Brown. but he merely muttered, half
opened his eyes. and then closed
them again. Mrs. Brown began to sob,
and the Oldest boy was sent flying for
the doctor. The whole house was In
m uproar. Meanwhile the baby
screamed Brown slept peace
fully on.
At half past 6, when the family had
calmed down somewhat and the baby
had gone to sleep again. the alarm
clock, which Brown had forgotten to
fix, went OF. It was one Of those
startling and persistent affairs that
rings and rings and rings for five
minutes-and then rings on some
more. AS the thing began to buzz
Brown peeped out of one eye at it.
Then he rolled over, pulled a blanket
over his ears and-went back to
sleep.
At Z O'Clock there arose terrific
thunderstorm The wind blew and
the lightning flashed. The baby
awoke again and began to yell. The
thunder rolled s. and roared. Mrs.
Brown rushed about banging the
windows down and calling to the
servants. Brown moaned fitfully

name of "Solyman, the eater of corro-

the Times of 1906. He is now log
years old, and In his youth he accus.
toned himself, like all the Turks. to
take opium, but after increasing the
dose to great extent, without the
wished effect, he adopted the use OF
sublimate. and had taken daily, for
upward of 80 years, 60 grains.
He some time since went into the
shop of Turkish Jew. to whom he
was unknown, and asked for q drachm
of sublimate, which he diluted in q
glass of water and swallowed in an
instant. The apothecary became great
ly alarmed lest he should be accused
Of poisoning the Turk, but his aston
ishment may be conceived when the
next day the Turk came again and
asked for similar dose.

Means Pastured Deer.

Because the reindeer is domes..
ticated animal in countries where 1t is
most common and most important to
the inhabitants, many an American
reader has doubtless jumped to the
conclusion that the name refers to the
fact that the reindeer is driven like
horse and is really q deer used with
reins. The explanation OF the name Ii
not 80 simple. Some authorities have
derived the word from the German
rem and *thier, the former from
the word "rennen," to run; the latter
being q general term applied to any
wild animal. 1t seems most probable,
however, that the real source of rein
deer is found in the Lapp word reino,
meaning pasture. and 2 Scandinavian
word meaning deer. The term. there
fore. Is equivalent to "pastured." or
domesticated deer.

Thomas Haywood, a homesteader
near Turtle Lake. MINI, sustained
serious injuries in desperate battle
with large eagle which had attacked
q calf. Haywood saw the eagle descend
into the clearing where the calf was
grazing and attempt to carry 1t away.
He rushed at the big bird with q club
and the eagle at once left the calf and
attacked Haywood. ss
Y The man was beaten into partial in
sensibility with heavy blows from its
wings, but managed to protect his
face by crouching on his hands and
knees. Finally he hit the bird on the
head. knocking 1t to the ground. +
Scratched. bruised and exhausted,
Haywood still had enough strength
left to get up and with another blow
or two dispatch the bird. The eagle
measured five feet seven inches from

SEWING Hints.

i When making coat and skirt or q
whole dress, the bodice should not be
cut out first. The skirt takes the
long Lengths. and there is usually
more or less eft from the widths to
help in cutting out the front of the
bodice, and even sometimes the whole
may be secured out Of the waste
widths.
= In making frills OF soft material,
such as muslin, lawn or chiffon, Sec
:ond gathering thread should be run
in just below the first.s This makes
the frill set more evenly and obviates
the necessity for stroking with the
needle, which is not to be recommend
ed, except In the case of calico, main
sook and fabrics Of q like nature.

Whenever you have any fruit. left
over from meal, can 1t. Cook the
fruit until tender, with plenty Of
sugar. When tender pour into your
jar, which should be made hot by
the use OF boiling water. BY placing
4 tablespoon or knitting needle in the
jar you will prevent 1t from breaking
when pouring in the hot fruit. The
jar should be filled to overfiowing,
and Immediately screw on. the top.
Then turn the jar upside down until
the next day. II the Juice has not
