From the London Standard.
 WHERE have been several cases of
 long sleep. quite apart from the
 4 celebrated persons of Ephesus and Rip Van Wrinkle. One of the most re- marltable was the long sleep of German government official named Arnheim, who had an accident in which his head was injured in 1904. and, falling asleep, was still unconscious four ITS atferward, and may be sleeping still But the most interesting example was that of a woman living in the little island of Okuo, off the coast of Sweden. who fell asleep in 1875 and did not wake up till 1907. pr.

The first 14 years for Caroline Olsson were passed in per- feet health. although extraneous difficult ties prevented her from attending school. It was not till just before her fourteenth birthday that she received any schooling. At the following Christmas she fell ill

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A TOAST.


 lAnonymous Here Is toast that I want to drink to fellow I'll never know To the fellow who's going to take my place when it's time for me to go. I've wondered what kind of a chap he'll be and I've wished I could take his hand.
 Just to whisper, T wish you well, old man., in a way he'd understand. I'd like to give him the cheering word that I've longed at times to hear; I'd like to give him the warm handcasp when never friend seemed near. I've learned my knowledge by sheer hard work, and I wish could pass it on To the fellow who'll come to take my place some day when I am gone. Will he see all the sad mistakes I've made and note all the battles lost? Will he ever guess of the tears they caused or the heartaches which they cost?
 will he gaze through the failures and fruitless toii to the underlying plan, And catch a glimpse of the real intent and the heart of the vanquished mang I dare to hope he may pause some day, as he tolls as I have wrought, And gain some strength for his weary task from the battles which I have fought.
 But I've only the task itself to leave with the cares for him to face, And never O cheering word may speak to the fellow who'll take my place. Then here's to your health old chap.
 drink as bridegroom to his bride; leave an unfinished task for you, but God knows how I tried. I've dreamed my dreams as all men do, but never one came true, And my prayer today is that all the dreams may be realized by you. And we'll meet some day in the great unknown-out in the realm of space; You'll know my clasp as I take your hand and gaze in your tired face. Then all our failures will be success in the light of the new-found dawn So Pm drinking your health. old chap. who'll take my place when l am gone.

Nine Persons Die From
Strange Malady.
CATTLE SIMILARLY AFFECTED
Deadly Doom Seems TO Hang
Over All Inhabitants
Of the Place.
A FOG-LIKE MIST FROM EARTH

Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, July 20.-"The
Farm of Death" is the name that
has been applied to the Palm Farm
near here where. nine mysterious
deaths have occurred and all have
been of the same nature. The death
of John Alderman, the latest vic
tim of this mysterious agent, brings
to light many uncanny things sur
rounding this farm.
Godfrey Palm, his wife, his son
and daughter, have all died in the
same manner. and others who have
lieved ION this farm have similarly
C.ad.
The first sign of the malady is
severe cramps in the lower limbs.
This is followed by internal fever.
The body gradually dwindles away
and death in agony follows. The
reason for this slow process o: pois-
oning has never been explained.
One idea is that the cows eat some
thing that produces impure milk or
butter. Another is that it is
poisonous mineral in the ground
which affects the water.
No matter what it is, it not only
has a telling effect on the persons
but on the live stock and the poul-
try as we'll. Even the swine and the
.I- ha Mo oh
effects of something. The old we'll,
which was at first supposed to have
been the cause of the trouble, was
abandoned.
Alderman, the last victim. know
ing the fate of his predecessors,
used neither the water, butter nor
milk, yet he died in the same man
ner. Those familiar with the situa-
ton say that so years ago there
was a disease among the cattle and
that a herd came to that place, be-
cause there was water in the east
fork branch of the Kaskaskia river.
They remained about the hills in
their feeble condition until they
died. The bodies lay there and
rotted, became food for the buzz
yards, contaminated the soil and
saturated the earth with the germs
of the malady from which they
were suffering. They think that
the trouble now is due to the death
of the cattle.
Those who live in that vicinity
and have lived on this particular
farm say that in the early dawn
fog-like mist arises from the earth
and has a most sitting effect on
anyone who breathes it and that it
has a sulphuric smell that can be
detected for some distance.

A nice drink for invalids is this:
Put into a glass two tablespoon
fuls of grape juice, add to this the
beaten white of an egg and little
chopped ice. Sprinkle sugar over
the top and serve. Strain the juice
from a quart of raspberries and
add the juice of one lemon. Sweet
en- with graduated sugar and add
Clipped ice as needed to make
glass of raspberry ice water.
A tablespoonful of currant jelly
and the same amount of lemon
juice, with a dash of nutmeg, is eX-
cellent to mix with ice water. and
quickly quenches the thirst.
An egg poached in scalding milk
is greatly improved in flavor, and
the hot milk can be poured over the
toasted bread. Scald the milk in a
double boiler and add salt, butter
and pepper. This makes an excel
lent breakfast dish for an invalid.
Another delicate way to serve an
egg is to first cut the bread very
thin with a biscuit cutter and fry
II a light brown in butter. Sprin-
kle little parsley over it and put a
poached egg on top.
Quick relief for a sick headache
Is found by drinking a half glass of
water to which has been added one
half teaspoon of soda and the juice
of half a lemon. Nausea may be
relieved by laying a cloth wet with
spirits of camphor or turpentine or
the pit of the stomach, or cup of
black coffee, hot and strong, will
often relieve the condition. A cup
of hot milk taken just before retir-
ing will induce sleep. and acts as a
laxative A cold, wet cloth on the
back of the neck with a towel fold
ed smoothly over il, will quiet the
nerves better than an Opiate. 1t is
especially good in case of a dull
headache.
A wash boiler, or other tin box
answers very well for a temporary
refrigerator in a sick room. Fasten
strings to the corners of a piece o.
flannel and spread it in the top of
the boiler, tying the strings under
the bottom to hold it in place. Law
the ice on this, crushing it first, if
needed. Spread another piece of
flannel over it and put on the lid
Bottles of milk or drinkingwater
may be slipped under the flannel in
the bottom or with the ice on top.
