From the London Mirror.
King Edawrd VII. has 250 timepieces
In Wlnsdor Castle, and over 170 In
Buckingham Palace. In St. James*
Palace and Hampton Court are many
more .making in all a kingly portion of
00.
King Henry VII’s clocks, which were
.source of great delight to him, at
the palace, in 1642, only numbered ten.
le morning of her wedding
Henry VIII. gave Anne Boleyn a clock
ten inches high as a present. It is
now in the chapel retiring room at
Windsor Castle. The lead weights are
partly covered In copper gilt, and are
engraved with "H. A.”, and true lovers’
knot on one and "H. A.” alone on the
other. Round the bottom of each are
ords, "the Most Happye." Poor
Anne Boleyn was beheaded four years
after. Queen Victoria bought this
clock at the sale of Horace Walpole's
effects at Strawberry Hill for 110
pounds 5 shillings.
This clock should surely have stop
ped when Anne Boleyn died, but It Is
rldently not a sympathetic timepiece,
like the one In Hampton Court. This
is an old astronomical clock, originally
made In 1540 for Henry VIII. It was
restored In 1880 and set up In Clock
Court, after lying for fifty years In a
shed, say the authors of "Royal Clocks’*
book published by Mr. John Wal
ker, the Kings clockmnker. to further
the interests of artistic clockmaking.
s first erected on the eve of
Henry VII’s marriage to Catherine
Howard. Before the year was out the
great dial saw her taken from palace to
prison.
Stops With Deaths.
At Hampton Court nlso lived Anne
of Denmark. James I’s queen. At the
moment of her death in 1619 the clock
suddenly stopped, the story goes.
Since then it has always stopped, the
story goes, when any one dies who has
lived for a long while In the palace.
“Act of Parliament Clack.”
In Windsor Castle, too, in the foot
man’s room. Is an "act of parliament
clock.” It has a large dial of wood
painted black, with gilt figures, not
covered by a glass, and a trunk long
enough to allow of a seconds pendu
lum. Pitt had Imposed a tax on all
timepieces, so these clocks were de
signed for taverns, where they might
stand out boldly and tell the time to
unfortunate members of the public un
able on account of the tax to afford
watch.
In the kings* room at Buckingham
Palace Is a sympathetic clock. Over
it Is a watch, worn once by George IV,
which is set to time by a small piece
of steel that shoots up at 12, and, en
tering a hole in the rim, operates on
the minute hand, and makes it corre
spond with the clock, provided the dif
ference is not more than twenty min
utes. It was made by Brequet, of
Paris (1746-1823), who invented ■ a
winding motion which was done by the
movement of the wearer’s body, a
watch with projecting hours for the
use of the blind, and the Brequet, or
tipsy key, by which the winding of a
watch the wrong way Is rendered
harmless.
On the mantel shelf in the state din
ing room a fine design by Thomlre is
seen of Apollo in his chariot, urging
his steed over a Huace representing the
his steed over a space representing the
chariot Is the dial. This beautiful
clock was once covered by a glass case,
but tfce king, thinking that these cases
were Inartistic, removed it, and many
others that had previously covered the
royal clocks.
The dial of the clock consists of
three copper discs, of different sizes,
revolving at different rntes. In the
center of the smallest, which Is 3 feet,
8% Inches in diameter, is a globe rep
resenting the earth, a smaller disc
travelling In a circular hole behind
shows the phases of the moon,
ond disc, 4 feet, 1% Inches in diameter,
projects from behind and gives the
moon’s age, in days, while tho largest
disc of 7 feet, 10 inches, exhibits the
day of the month and tho position
of the sun In the ecliptic. Nicholas
Craczer, the designer of the clock,
not only a watch-maker, but a diplo
mat, when went to Germany
secret mission for the king.
One of the few clocks known which
go for a year without winding has
stood In the samo spot for two h
dred years In Williams II’s state room
at Hampton Court, Daniel Quure
made It—a celebrated artificer, who. In
1676, Invented the minute wheel and
gave two hands to watches. Before
then they only had four hands.
The finest clock at Windsor, from a
connoisseur’s point of view, lifts a per
fect and elegant shape to a height of
seven feet, two and a quarter Inches In
the Van Dyke Room. It Is Louis
XIV Buhl In red shell and gilt metal,
from the design of the Marota. The
present movement ts by Vulltamy,
whose n&me apears frequently on roy
al clocks. He made the large clock
at the general postofflce, Bt. Martln’a-
le-Grand.
The Windsor Castle Turret clock,
placed over the state entrance In the
quadrangle, goes for eight days, and
strikes the quarters as well as the
hours. The great wheels of the strik
ing parts sre twenty-four Inches In
diameter, and the hours are struck on
a bell weighing thirty-two hundred
weight It Is wound by a double mul
tiplying jack, and requires one thou
sand revolutions to mlse the weights.
Tn the blue drawing room fs an as
tronomical clock by Lepine, who lived
in the latter half of the eighteenth
century, which forms a perpetual cal
endar. It is two feet, six Inches high,
and has three dials. It* Inner and up

globe, on each side of which is a

matfeal instruments around them, seem
to have laid aside for the time being
the light pursuit of love. Its two out
side dials are encircled with the signs
of the Zodiac. The central dial de
notes the time, and has a seconds
hand; the dial on the right of the
spectator denotes the days of the Week
and the phases of the moon; and the
dial on the left denotes the month

A Revolution in Trousers.
From the New York Evening Sun.
There Is consternation among the
golden youth of London. The tailors
of the British metropolis are in de
spair. But as earnest and loyal sup
porters of the throne, of church and
state they don’t know what to do.
They owe a duty to their sovereign.
They also owe a duty to "dressy men"
the world over. New York as well as
London expects them to be true to their
beautiful art
King Edward appeared at the New
market ruces the other day In the old-
fashioned white high hat. That was a
revolt. He also had four creases In
the leg of each trouser, north and
south, east and west. That wns a
revolution. It was not an accident,
for H. R. H. the prince of Wales, like
a dutiful son, had followed his father’s
example.
Shall we or shall we not? Have we
declared our independence in the mat
ter of togs? Will New York, like Lon
don. go about with its legs In square
boxes? Must the man with straight
underpinnings take to a fashion which
will be welcomed by those whose ex
tremities are of the bowed variety?
In fashions all things are possible,
but all things are not expedient. Madge
Kendal’s husband, Willie, wns playing
In this city on one occasion. Through
the mistake of his man a pair
trousers were ironed the wrong way.
When the discovery was made it was
too late. The comedian went on the
stage at the Fifth Avenue theatre.
"Something new,” said the dandles In
the audience. The next day there was
almost a riot on the Stock Exchange
when a number of youthful members
of that body appeared on the floor with
the creases reversed.
Edward, R. I., Is a courageous man.
For many years the dictator of mas
culine fashion, Just as Jane Hading
was the dictator of feminine, he has
had his defects. He tried to Introduce
colored evening clothes with knee
breeches, the hygienic frock coat, the
brown frock coat. Although his taste
In art Is not superior to that of the
rest of his family, he realizes that
something ought to bo done in the
matter of clothes, which, as far* ns
men are concerned, have now reached
the high water mark of ugliness.
But it would not be surprising If the
tailors of New York and London in
sisted on having this question ‘of
trousers submitted to The Hague court
of arbitration.
Tho Failure of an Incognito.
In one of Mark Twain’s later trips
down the Mississippi, he made the
Journey Incognito in order to gather
material for stories about Mississippi
pilots, and the following story wns
told, by a man who knew him well, of
the way Twain was discovered: "The
steamer was hardly under wny when
through the automatic action of the
brain, tho author Instinctively wan
dered to the pilot house, and essayed
the rolo of the greenhorn. The pilot
loaded him with the kind of river chart
and badinage that must have recalled
the days of his youth more vividly
than would have the taste of one of
his grnndmothcr’s pies, and our author
was enjoying it ns keenly as If he
were at a country circus, stowing
awny page after page of the most de
lightful material, and scarcely hugging
himself with the thought that he wns
getting a largo amount of the most
desirable copy from the very source
to which he had looked most longingly
and for the acquisition of which he
had been racking hi* brain Jn an effort
to decide ns to the best method of pro
cedure. At the moment when he de
cided on beating a retreat. In order
that his stenographer might take
down the interview while It was fresh
In his mind, the pilot left the wheel
and, turning to Mr. Clemens, calling
him by name, said: 'Here, you take
her and He awhile—you're handler at
It than I am. Trying to play yourself
for a stranger /ind an Innocent! Why,
I knew you before you had spoken
seven words, and I made up my mind
to find out what wns your little game.
It wns to draw me out. Well, I let
you. didn’t I? Now, take the wheel
and finish the wateh. and next time
play fair and you won’t have to work
your passage.*” The ronultH of this
trip were incorporated In the second
half of “Life on the Mississippi” (Har
pers).
Compare Our Methods
You will realize then why Schlitz beer is pure.
You wash a cooking utensil once. We wash a bottle four
times, by machinery, before we fill it.
You use city water. We bore down 1400 feet to rock for ours.
You prepare food in the air of the room. We cool Schlitz
beer in plate-glass rooms and filter all the air that touches it.
Then we filter the beer by machinery—filter it through
white wood pulp.
Yet your methods are cleanly. Ours are cleanliness carried
to extremes.
Then—for fear of a touch of impurity—we sterilize every

of our brewing to give you a healthful beverage pure.

The Deeds Which Started Germany’s
Little War in the Hinterland.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Early In the spring the Frankfurt
Zeltung published a statement of a
traveler who had Just returned from
the scene of war, having made Ills
home while there at Windhoek and Ok-
ahandja. He declared that the mer
chants and traders had purposely In
volved the natives In debt and had then
pursued a course of levying their goods
and chattels that would have been re
sented by any civilised* community In
the world. According to this statement,
the traders are largely discharged sol
diers whom the merchants equip with
wagons and oxen, and a loud of goods.
The soldler-trnders sold nt first entire
ly on credit. They told the natives that
they need not pay then, but might pay
at n later trip. Tho natives under these
inducements bought heavily and at la
ter periods they paid little and under
generous promises of the traders they
bought still more heavily. Tho mer
chants who hack the traders favored
this extension of credits until some
times a native would owe a merchant
as much ns 33.500. All that time the
trnder was telling the native that "any
time would do to pay his debt.”
Finally the trader, having involved
the native as heavily as possible, began
to collect. The wealth of the Hereto*
Is principally In cattle. They arc almost
religiously devoted to their stocktaking
cry possible care of It and even at
time* letting favorite animals die of
old age rather than kill them. But the
trader has no sentiment In his regard,
and when he started to collect he pro
ceeded to drive away the stock of the
debtor. As the merchant made an av
erage of 70 per cent, on the goods that
sold the trade and as ths latter gen-
lly mnde 100 per cent In their sale,
tides making a profit of 20 per cent
on the cattle that he seised, It Is easy
to see hw an Intelligent native would
come In time to resent such a proa
dure.
This whs the ground work on which
the present discontent and wnrlik
tltude of the Hereros was built. Ac
cording to dispatches from British
Bechuun&laod, the Immediate trouble
arose from the shooting of a native by
A German officer. The shooting was
unprovoked and the news of the event
spread like wildfire throughout the
Hinterland. Runners were sent from
camp to camp and from these to the
larger towns, until every section
Hereroland and Ovsmpoland
aroused. The men began to arm Im
mediately. Expeditions were sent In
various directions. Okhnndjn was cut
off apd Barmen nnd Windhoek Itself
threatened. Isolated families of Oer-
nian settlers were killed and when the
small forces of the German* took the
field to relieve the gnrrIsons at various
points they were beaten buck with se
rious loss.
The German troops In the colony
gave back bloodshed for bloodshed, and
torture for torture. With their maga
zine rifles and machine guns against
breech-loading and rifles and bows of
the natives, a small force was equiva
lent of a large number of Hereos or
Hottentots. While the number of Ger
man soldiers In the Held wns scarcely
1.000 men. they managed to hold at bay
a native horde many times their own
number. Word was sent to Berlin and
after a spirited debate In the Reichstag
a credit of ftl.OOO for a punitive ex-
| pedftion was voted and a further credit
of 3376,000 for the budget for the pres
ent year was passed. With this money
1.000 more soldier* were equipped and
sent into the field. This gave the Oer-
mans about 2,000 men In the field, but
after two months in the colony the
world has yet to hear that the soldiers
I © # the emperor have fought any deci-
I sfve beetle with the natives
Meantime another and Mill more Im
portant move bee been made by the
shrewd natlvee. In the tight against
the Germans they hav* been given to
understand by their leaders that they
have the sympathy ot tho British. The
natives confounding the German sol-
I dlers and traders with the Boers, and
I knowing the British have re. «-ntly been
! at war with the latter, hav.- coin* to
1 the concluslson that the K> glleh will
1 Ik* their friends In *be treat conflict
I with the Invaders. This belief ha*
been strengthened bf en event that
occurred last November. In 1900 the
native* killed a Boer, .r 1 i -r fall
I three native* were arrested by the
I British authorltls* *n t
Transvaal bordering ot
west Africa. When they were brought
up for trial their chief, Lluchwe. camo
to the court and produced letters to
him by the British commissioner ln-
struclng him to "exercise himself en
ergetically against the Boers.”
These letters were written at an
earlier time, when the feeling between
the Boers and the British was warlike,
but the natives were nevertheless con
vinced that they had acted In the In
terest of a friendly nnd very peaceful
•. Lluchwe swore that the Brit
ish commissioner had ordered him to
himself for defensive and offensive
wnr ngalnat the Boers, nnd acting un
der these Instruction* ho had sent hta
1 out against the Dutch. Chief Ho.
chall, who commanded tho men so
sent, swore to the same effect But
in spite of this testimony tho men ac
cused were executed by tho British to
the no small dismay of tho nutlvo
chiefs.
Givon Up to Die.
B. Spiegel, 1204 N. Virginia Rt..
Evansville, Ind., writes: "for over
five years I wns troubled with kidney
and blndder affections, which caused
me much pain nnd worry. I lost flesh
nnd was all run down, nnd n year ago
hnd to abandon work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians, who did
me no good, And I was practically
given up to die. Foley’s Kidney Cure
was recommended nnd the first bottle
gave me great relief, and after tnklng
the second bottle I wns entirely cured.”

Indian Death Penalty,
The street commissioner of Atoka
has removed one of tho oldest Indian
landmarks of the town. It wns a holH
d'arc post, ten feet long and twelve
Inches In diameter. In the middle of
what Is now known as "B” street. It
was placed there forty-olght yenrs
ago by the Choctaw Indians, and for
many years was used by them ns a
whipping post. Under the Indian laws
any person who was convicted of theft
was tied to this post nnd given fifty
lushes on the bare back. For tho sec
ond offense he was given 100 lashex;
for the third offence the penalty was
death.
In inflicting the death penalty a
block of wood wae laid on the ground J !
ngalnst the post. The victim was I
stripped to his waist and was made to
sit upon this block. Hie hands were
tied behind blip, hie arm* reaching
around the poet, with a white apot ]
painted over hi* heart. The sheriff,
who was the executioner, started at th»
feet of the prisoner end walked ten
steps toward the sun. He then turned l
nnd. facing the man, cocked hie gun
and announced to the gathered throng I
| the crime for which the doomed man t
to die. The frlnnrl* of the doomed j
mnn were then permitted to go to him. !
and bid him farewell. The father, the |
mother, or wife, were the last persons
permitted to speak to him. They In- 1
variably begged him to be brave, and |
die like a men, nnd expressed their
hope that they would meet him at the
happy hunting grounds. Then the sher-
took sim at the wblte spot over
the Indian's heart, nnd so true was the
marksmanship of the executioner that
a second shot wee never necessary. In
stant death being produced by the first
It Is said by those who know that no
