find you weeping? Have you had
bad news from your husband ?”
“Oh, worse than that! My Ar

tie would die with ardent longings
for me were it not that he could
gaze affectionately at my picture
and cover it with a thousand kisses
every day.”
“That is really very nice of him.
'And, pray, is it that you are crying
for? I would give anything to have
euch a poetic and tenderly loving

“Ah, yes, my Arthur is very poet

Falsifying an Old Proverk.
The adage “Happy is the bride
that the sun shines on” is one that
is unknr-wn in many lands. A Bre
ton bride likes to have a wet wed
ding and takes it unhappily when
the day of her wedding dawns bright
and sunny. Rain on her marriage
morn is held to signify that all her
tears are shed and that she will
therefore have a happy married life.
It is said that the Erza of Simbrisk
call the day before the wedding the
‘ weeping day, and the bride and her
girl friends weep as much as possi
ble, with the idea of getting the
mourning of life over, so that only
what is joyful may remain. In some
•countries this result is expected by
sousing the bride with water. The
Greeks think that a thorough
drenching of the bride wiil bring
her lasting good fortune.

A PERPETUAL CLOCK.
The Way Its Curious Mechanism Dia*
appeared In China. *
In the eighteenth century an in*
genious jeweler named James Coy
of Shoe lane, London, constructed
a clock which was rendered per
petual by a cleverly contrived at
tachment which utilized the rise
and fall of the barometer to supply
the necessary energy.
The movement of the mercury
actuated a cogwheel in such a man
ner that whether the mercury rost
or fell the wheel always revolved in
the same direction and kept tho
weights that supplied the move
ment of the clock always wound
up. The barometer bulb dipped
into a mercury cistern. The cistern
hung attached to the extremities
of two rockers, to the left end of
one and the right end of the other.
The bulb was similarly attached
to the other extremities of the rock
ers, which are thus moved every
time there is a change in the
amount of mercury in bulb and cis
tern respectively. The rockers ac
tuated a vertical ratchet, and the
teeth were so arranged that the
wheel they controlled could only
move in one direction, whether the
ratchet ascended or descended.
The clock itself was an ordinary
one, but of very strong and su
perior workmanship and was jewel
ed with diamonds at every bearing,
the whole being inclosed in a glass
case, which, while it excluded dust,
displayed the entire mechanism.
The fate of Cox’s clock was
bright to light in a work called
“Travels of China,” published in
1804 and written by John Barrow.
In this book it is stated that in
the list of presents carried by “the
late Dutch ambassador” were “two
grand pieces of machinery that
were part of the curious museum of
Cox.” One of these apparently was
this perpetual clock, and it was
taken by the Dutch embassy to Chi
na, whore in the journey from Can-
ten to Pekin both tho instruments
suffered some slight damage. Ef
forts were made to repair them at
Pekin, hut on leaving the capital it
was discovered that the Chinese
prime minister, He Tchangtong,
had substituted two other clocks of
very inferior workmanship and had
reserved Cox’s mechanism for him
self.—London Times.
Why He Wept.
The extensive authority of par
ents uuder tho Chinese laws is well
known. A Chinaman of forty years,
whose aged mother flogged him
every day, shed tears ia the com
pany of one of his friends.
“Why do you weep?” he was
asked.
“Alas, thingB are not as they
used to he!” answered the devoted
son. “The poor woman’s arms grow
feebler every day!”
The Erring One.
It is impossible for one who never
goes wrong or makes a mistake or
commits a blunder to know just how
to he sorry for an erring one. We
must stumble ourselves before we
can really judge of the hardships of
a rough road and the frailty of
weary feet. True character is first
tender, then hopeful and afterward
reformatory.—Exchange.
Getting at the Facts.
A shrewd jld Vermont farmer
went into a lawyer’s ollice tho other
day am! proceeded to relate the cir
cumstances in a matter about which
he thought it would be profitable to
“go to law.”
“You think I hev got a good
case?” he finally asked.
“Very good indeed,” the lawyer
assured him. “You should certain
ly bring suit.”
“What would your fee be fer the
whole thing?” the old farmer asked.
“Fifty dollars,” was the prompt
response.
The client pulled out an old wal
let. extracted a roll of bills and
counted out $50.
“Now,” he said, “you hev got all
you would get out of this case any
how, so s’pose you tell me honestly
just what you think my chances of
winnin’ a suit are.”
Jolts For Mr. Graytop.
“I feel young,” said Mr. Graytop,
•“and fondly I fancy tiiat 1 look
young, but every now and then I
get a jolt.
“As when sometimes a young
man in a car gets up and offers me
his seat.
“Or when some well meaning
young truck driver holds up for me
on a crossing and looks down and
swings his head and says, ‘Go
ahead, old man!’
“But the worst came today when,
in my own street, a young Italian as
I was passing looked down upon me
from the lofty summit of a load of
waste paper ho was stacking on a
wagon standing by the curb and
said:
“ ‘What time, papa?’
“I told him, and he thanked me
politely—but really 1”—New York
Sun.
The Quick Hog.
In these days the American pig
makes a speedy journey from farrow
ing bed to scalding tub, and the aim o(
the judicious feeder is to add ooustnat-
)y to t lie flesh acquired while suckling,
bringing the hog up to 250 to 450
pounds as early and on as inexpensive
feed as possible. The young animal
will naturally put on weight more
cheaply than an older one. and gains
after ten months cost considerably
more per pound than those made ear
lier. A pig which Is being fattened
should gain from one to two pounds a
day and w*»lgb alive 250 to 350 pounds
when nine to twelve months old.
Be Kind to the Horse.
When you fly into a passion and are
tempted to kick your horse where it is
most convenient he humane enough to
take off your shoes and stockings be
fore beginning. If you are still in the
notion of kicking when you get them
off, kick, and kick hard. We venture
the assertion that the performance
won’t last long.
Economical.
A lecturer, talking of economy,
cited the case of a leading lady as
told to him by her manager.
The manager one Monday night
entered a leading lady’s dressing
room with a huge bouquet in his
hand.
“The florist just sent this over,
with the bill,” he murmured con
fidentially behind his hand. “I’ll
have it—er—thrown ou at the end
of the trial scene, eh ?”
“No, don’t throw it on,” said the
leading lady. “Let nn usher hand it
up. I want to use it all this week.”
The Man Who Was "Gone."
In a case which recently came up
for hearing a certain witness was
cnlled. On the mention of his name
a man rose up and said, “He’s
gone.”
“Where is lie gone?” said the
judge. “It is his duty to lie here.”
“My lord,” was the solemn reply,
“1 wadna care to commit mysel’ as
to wham - lie’s gone, hut lie’s deid.”

When tho Woman Fainted.
This happened on the Lake Shore
flier not long ago. A man rushed
in from the car behind, evidently in
great agitation, and said: “lias any
body in the ear any whisky? A wo-
nian in the car behind lias fainted.”
Instantly dozens of flasks were pro
duced. Tho man who had asked foT
it picked out the largest one, drew
the cork and put the bottle to his
lips. With a long, satisfied sigh, he
handed it back and remarked:
"That did me a lot of good. I need
ed it, for it always makes me feel
queer to see a woman faint.”
Australian Grasshoppers.
Here is something funny. In
Western Australia, where domestic
servants are almost unprocurable
and housewives do nearly all their
own work, husbands are known as
grasshoppers. The connection is
not, obvious, but may he explained
after ihe manner of other house
holds much nearer than those at
the antipodes. Wives who are their
own servants are compelled to re
cuperate at the seaside, and conse
quently Western Australia lords of
creation in their absence prepare
their own meals and do other do
mestic duties. Locally husbands
thus employed have received the
name grasshoppers as the masculine
for the more familiar word grass
widow, long since applied to the de
serted wife.—Boston Herald.
Two Cases.
The clerk of arraigns on assize
was swearing tho jury when a jury
man said:
“Speak up! I cannot hear what
you say.”
The presiding judge asked him if
he were deaf.
“Yes, my lord, of one ear.”
“Well,” responded tho judge,
“you may go, for it is necessary that
jurymen should hear both sides.”
Another judge, however, on a like
objection, said:
“Oh, let lnm bo sworn. We only
hear one side of a case at a time.”

Lead Shot.
We owe lead shot to Watts, a
Bristol plumber, who dreamed that
while repairing a church roof his
foot slipped and a ladle of molten
lead that he was carrying fell to the
ground and that on descending to
recover his property he found that
the metal had assumed, instead of
the silver plaque he had expected,
the form of countless minute glob
ules. Curiosity led him next day
to repeat, so far as he could, the ac
cident of his dream. A like result
followed, and the lucky dreamer ul
timately nade a handsome fortune.
Tho Ago of Cattle.
At twelve mouths an animal should
have alt Its milk (calf) Incisors In

Fifteen Months.—At this age the
central pair of inciuors (milk toethi

Eighteen Months.—The middle pair
of central incisors at this age should
be fully up und in wear, but the next
pair (the flrst intermediary) not yet
through the gums.
Twenty-four Months.—The mouth at
this age will show two middle (perma

Thirty months generally show six
broad permanent incisors, the middle
and first intermediary fully up aud in

The Result of an Accident.
Talleyrand was the greatest di
plomatist of his day. His father
was a military officer, and the boy
would no doubt have been educated
to the same profession but for an
accident which befell him in child
hood. After the fashion of the
time, he was intrusted to the care
of a woman some miles away from
home. While in her charge his
foot was dislocated by a fall. It
was not properly cured for, nnd his
parents did not become aware of
the fact until it was too late to cor
rect the error. The abnormal
strain brought upon the other foot
6oon induced a lumencss in that
also, and the bov thus became a
cripple for life. This seeming mis
fortune determined a change in the
plans of his parents for him, and
as a result the name of Talleyrand
has become one of the most fa
miliar among the great ones of
modern history.
English In Java.
A book published in Java, call«A
“The West Java Travelers’ Guide,”
says of a certain sanitarium: “At
the establishment is a physician.
The sick may invoke the physician
for daily treatment, with use of
medicaments. Children below ten
years pay for lodges half of the
price.”
Under “Addresses and Announce
ments” is politely recommended
“the hotel prigin, with occasion for
warm baths, where till now all re
convalescents, as well as Mrs. Physi
cians and particulars and officials*
have found back their health. Cures
malaria, complains in the chest and
other fatnesses, green sickness, cu
taneous diseases,” etc., and we are
assured that “this healthy abode for
reconvalescents has also occasion to
many delightful idylic excursions
to which saddle horse and tandees
are stationed when before timely
ordered.”
