The mechanism came from Germany
and the pipe organ with which It is
equipped from Switzerland. The cyl-
Inders that are a part of Its musical
equipment are wooden and an in-
dlsputable Index of Its antiquity, since
these have not been made for a century
ajd a half. They are contained in a
mahogany cabinet, about one yard
square, the wood being the same as
that of the clock.

matter of timekeepers. A water clock
marked the fligfit of his Imperial time.
It Is Interesting to note In the progress
of clock-making from that crude state
wBnrewllli Caesar was doubtless con¬
tent. to lhe highly complex end ap¬
parently perfect system now tn use,
that the heavenly bodies were usually
represented. Those landmarks In tho
history of clock-making, whose im¬
portance lias led to their preservation,
either In chronicle or In fact, show
this comprehensiveness of effort.
The celebrated clock In the famous
cathedral at Strasburg describes tho
motions of the planets. A clock pre¬
sented to Frederick H. by Saladln in
the thirteenth century marked not
only the hours, but also the course of
tho sun and moon nnd planets. A
clock made by an English abbott In tho
fourteenth century indicated In addl-
tion to these the ebb nnd flood tides.
In the eighteenth century a German
who Invented astronomical clocks con-
reived the still more comprehensive
Idea of measuring time In Its whole

events of the future founded on tho

century band marks the year of tho
century and makes the circuit in 100
years. This clock also represents the
motions of the plnnetB, and they make
their revolutions in the snnie lime and
manner that they actually do In tho
heavens. Tho heavenly orbs alono
were consulted for marking the pass¬
age of time when no other method
was known.

Several spirited speeches followed

Perfume From Living Plants.
Captain Since has discovered a
method of gathering the scent of flow-
ers as the plant is growing. He takes
a glass funnel and heats the thin end
over a spirit lamp. He then draws out
the stem to a fine point. This accom¬
plished, the funnel Is filled with Ice
and placed on a retort stand, tho
pointed end being placed In a small
glass bottle, without touching it. After
this the stand and the funnel are
placed In a greenhouse among the
flowers whose odors it Is desirable to
collect. Gradually the vapor rises
from the flowers, and in meeting the
colder surface of the funnel; condenses
in drops on the outside of the glass.
From the point of condensation it
trickles down until It drops into the
bottle. In a surprisingly short time
a large amount of perfume is collected,
and it Is claimed that 90 per cent of
the contents of the bottle Is perfume;
the rest is water. Strange to say, this
essence of the flower needs to be adul¬
terated with spirits of wine. Other¬
wise It would become sour and use¬
less.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Convicts Cuarding Themselves*
The anomalous spectacle of a large
gang of penitentiary convicts working
in the open, with no officers or armed
force to guard them, is presented ev¬
ery day at Yuma, Ariz. They are
camped on the Colorado River, a little
above Yuma, to be exact, and they are
engaged in cutting wood for the Ter¬
ritory. None of them escape. None
try to escape. Why do they stay? Be¬
cause each man guards the other. Each
man is a “short termer,” none of them
having more than a year yet to serve.
All are allowed a rebate for the work
they do. When a convict has cut two
cords of wood he has earned a day’s
rebate on his term, but should one of
the gang escape, then every man in the
gang loses all rebates. Thus each man
becomes his brother’s keeper in a more
practical sense than the beautiful the¬
ory is carried out among freemen.—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Mrs. Upjohn —My husband told me

donated by a good-natured sort of a
fellow who gambles. He won it at
cards nnd turned it over to our fund.

What is Tetfcrine?
It is a fragrant, unctuous ointment of great

of the skin. It stops pain positively and itching at once

the worst of chronic cases. 50 cents at a drug
