The counterpart Of M. Wardle's fat boy
has just been charged at Willesden police
court with sleeping out The missionary
said the boy was born tired. and when
before the magistrate he appeared to be
doing and only replied to the questions
put to him by suspicious nod and with
closed eyes. He was remanded In order
that ship might be found for him, pre-
sdmably in the hope that life on the
ocean waxet might succeed in waking him
up. 1t may be that the boy will develop
into one Of. the remarkable sleepers or
whom many records remain.
Margaret Lyall of Denniland, In the
parish of Maryton, three mile from Mont
rose. went to sleep Wednesday. June II,
1872 and did not wake UP for two days.
She went to sleep again July and slept
until August 8. When fully awake she
complained of giddiness. but had no recol-
lection of having been blistered. bled
and immersed in cold water. She merely
thought she had had long night.
There is also a French case Of Elizabeth
Arten of st. Gu.llian. near Mons. who In
1888, when thirty-six wears of age. fell

Very curious was the case Of Simeon
Watson. hard working, industrious
man, aged about thirty, of athletic habits
and active temperament, who about 1926
began preaching in his sleep. His trance
or sleeping fit invariably lasted as long
as the ordinary noncomformist service,
which he was in the habit Of attending.
The attacks became more frequent as
time went ION. and he would go through
the whole of the ordinary chapel service,
praying, reading the Bible and preaching.

The American League will hold the an

former years. This Is due to the fact
that the champion Athletics will give the

ing December II will probably be held
at the National League headquarters in
the Metropolitan Life building. unless a
change in the plans occurs meanwhile.

Is to have a barrel sunk into the
ground a convenient distance from the
camp. In this the supplies for the
chatting dish should be kept-the can

the evaporated milk. J..
Picnic hampers for carrying are real
~ a great convenience. though the
space is so fully taken up by the uten-
sils that the provender usually has to
be carried separately.
These hampers are to be had in all
sizes. Instead OF taking china plates
to the camp. which are always cum
bersome. those Of wood fiber, which
are sold in the stores for 5 cents doz-
en-. make a satisfactory substitute. OF
the same class are heavy paper plates
made in a half dozen layers each.
these being removed by simply pulling
them OF. Both the wood and paper
plates are very light in weight and
are thrown away after being used.
