Resusctatior after hanging is not
uncommon In 1905 housebreaker
named Smith was hung up at Tyburn.
A reprieve came after he had been
suspended for quarter of an hour.
and he was taken down, bled, and re-
vived. One William Duell, duly hang
ed In London In 1910, was taken to
Surgeons Hall to be anatomical, but
came to life again, and was trans
ported. At Cook man hanged In
January, 1867, for a street robbery,
was Immediately after hurried to
surgery, where an incision was made
IN his windpipe, and he recovered and
went to the theater the same evening
After Fauntleroy, the banker and for
ger was executed In 1924, there was
a widespread rumor that he had es-
capped death by the insertion In his
throat of silver tube which prevent
ed strangulation and that on being re-
stored to consciousness he went
abroad and lived for many years.

The attached peplum is shown In

model of this type. One Is Of old
green velvet trimmed with chinchilla.
The chinchilla forms high rundown

THE skirt Is made with tunic, which
hangs in draped folds at the front.

of taupe velvet, trimmed with skunk.
AT the front there Is a crossed white

NEEDLE IN HAYSTACk."

"A bottle Of hay" was formerly
much used in Derbyshre. England,
and probably is so still to denote a
bundle Of hay, which was taken from
a rick to fodder cattle In a field. When
1t was difficult to find anything that
had been lost. the farmer folk were
wont to say: You may as well hunt
for 1t as for a needle In a bottle OF
hay"
Sometimes the rope tied around the
hay had piece of wood with an eye
in It at one end. through which the
rope was passed to tie up the bundle.
and sharp point at the other end.
and this piece of wood may have been
called a needle; IL so needle Of this
kind may have been referred to In

WOMAN'S LONG LIFE.

One of the most remarkable In.
stances OF long life was that of the
countess Of Desmond. This merry
widow died in 1894 having survived
her husband, the twelfth earl, seventy
years. She retained her faculties to
the last, could walk ten miles day
until week of her death, at the age
OF 140, and, according to the inscrip-
ton on her portrait at Muckross abb
hey, Killarney. "in ye course OF her
long pilgrimage renewed her teeth
twice" The countess appeared like
ly to beat all records for longevity,
when, relates Sir William Temple.
she must needs climb a nut tree to
gather nuts so, falling down, she hurt
her thigh. which brought fever, and
that brought death"

give them the amount provided for ny
the state. two cents per head. They
encountered a surprise however whom
the township clerk told them that IL
they wanted To collect the bounty they
would have To go elsewhere. ~ The
same time he gave them a sound lee
ture on cruelty.
In past years the youngsters of Calu-
met have been wont To convert the
township office into veritable morgue
every saturday, with the clerk as chief
acting coroner. Sparrows of high ana
low degree, some of them legless soune
deCapitated. and In general presenting
the appearance of a mass of blood and
feathers have been brought To the
township office in bags. pals and has
kets. Occasionally some of the young
sters would cut off the heads of the
birds, string them and present them To
the clerk. This practice must come To
an end. according To the township clerk
who refuses longer 10 he an accessory

rows would do well Ia keep away from
his Office.
